would be well TO stop them up as thor
oughly as possible. II is not necessary that
our system of punishment be cruel, but it
ought TO be sure. No thief or homicide
should be able TO say 20 himself that, no
matter how strong the evidence against
him, he may safely rely on the influence
of his family, the ft-heartedness Of the
Governor of his State. or his own sharp
wits to enable him to escape the penalty
of the law. The pursuit of justice in
a civilized land ought to be like the laws OF
nature, subject to no caprices and no alter

rcts i'm The schooiroom.

DR. Edward Everett Hale addressed a
company of Boston school-teachcrs the
other day and advocated new and origi-
nal scheme He thought that 1t would be
good thing for the children to have pet
animals in the schoolroom for the illus
tration OF natural history lessons and
training in other ways. He argued that
the children would thus learn to be kind
TO animals, and could be taught zoology
in practical way. As most public school
teachers will surmise the idea did not
meet with great favor among the educators
of Boston.
The teachers in our public schools are a
long suffering set OF women-nost of them
are women nowadays-and not the least
arduous of their duties has been the stav-
ing of OF various fsds which well-meaning
peopl. have loaded on their shoulders from
time TO time. They have been required TO
adopt new methods OF teaching, new school,
books. and new pupils at least once year.
and it is no wonder that they find it hard
TO realize that anything in this fleeing
and transitory life can be permanent.
Doubtless, they would all be happier il they
were allowed 10 teach a few elementary
and necessary branches Of knowledge and
do the work thoroughly. but this seems to
be impossible under The present system

cases. and in the little spare time they
can squeeze out here and there, doing what
most of all needs 10 be done-giying aid
TO those who especially need 1t. When
these Boston teachers were asked what
they thought OF DR.. Hale's scheme they
said what they thought about it-at least
in part.
The consensus OF opinion was that they

When we speak of the Administration as

pious Puritan New England rum distilling

we use the term in the sense that ii re-

by its representatives in Congress, and we
do not mean to reflect on President McKin-

the scheme TO murder the Porto Ricans by
imposing the Dingley curse upon them as
we are
1t is proper to add that we have reasons
for believing that the Presidential influ-
ence is being used TO prevent the crime
contemplated by the trust element of the
republican party in Congress and that. if
it becomes necessary to warn its leaders
that the veto power will be resorted to in
case o. necessity, Mr. Mckinley will not
hesitate TO extend that notice. We hope
that he will let his attitude become def
