The Montgomery City public
school has had a good reputation
Ia the past and II still measures
right up to the front. The contin-
ua,ion OF good schools depends
largely upon the will OF the people
~ yrcsscd at the annual school
election to be held In April. Good
school men should be placed on
the board who will select only the
very best teachers to be had for
places In the school. School gov
crnmcnt. like civil government. can
not run all the time without some
outbreaks aud violations of law.
Hence II Is not prudent, In school
matters, simply because there are
some violations Of the rules OF
school, to place the whole blame
upon the teachers in charge. II
the outbreaks are due 10 n well
founded laxncss Of discipline on
the part of the teacher, then the
teacher must bear his or her part
III the bad results. II the out
breaks are to species dcprnvity
In the pupil, the pupil should bear
the consequences.
Therefore, all criticism should
b. tempered with justice when
made in regard to the public
schools.

Congressman Bartholdt will con-
test the congressional gerrymand-
er In st. Louis. II Is palpably an
outrageous violation Of the APP
portionment law passed by Con-
grcss and of all political fairness
and dccency. The Tenth district
Is made to circle the entire city in
order to get as many Republicans
as possible in one district. Mr..
Bartholdt says tho design was to
make that one district Republican
by from 10000 to 10000. The
population Of the district is 800, ,0oC
instead OF $4,000. which the law
provides as the average national
apportionment for a member OF
Congress. NJ. Bartholdt Is per-
fcctly right in taking steps to have
this trickery legally annullcd. I,
is the worst gerrymander to be
found in the United States, and
is clearly contemptuous defiance

oLEoMARGARINE BILL.
Favorable Report Submitted by Sen
ate Committee on Aericulture-Mi-
nority Report Also Filed.

Chairman Proctor of the Senate COM
mittee on agriculture presented to the
Senate Saturday the report of that COM
mittee on the oleomargarine bill. The
report is favorable to the bill, but Sena-
tor Heitfeld presented a minority report
adverse to it. The majority report says:
1.-The bill appears to be unanimously
desired by the farmers of the country
who are engaged in dairying, and has
the earnest approval of the secretary of
agriculture. Your committee has listened
with interest to the representatives of the
live stock interests and me cottonSeed oil
manufacturers, and is unable to see in
this measure anything that can greatly
1--WE have heard some objection to this
measure from organized labor, and, while
1t is true that some laboring men may
prefer, as a matter of pride, to consume
oleomargarine that is yellow instead of
white, yet your committee believes that,
while the pride of some may suffer under
this measure, which will raise the tax on
the colOred and reduce it on the uncol-
ored, a far greater number are now being
rine as butter, and at butter prices"
The minority report is signed by SEN
ators Heitfield and Money, and Senator
present a substitute bill providing more
stringent restrictions upon the retail
dealer and for proper marking OF oleomar-
garine, but removing the restriction as to
coloring. The minority take the position
that oleomargarine is a legitimate article
of commerce, and quotes the United
States supreme court to substantiate this
position. They find that most of the
frauds in connection with the oleomarga-
rine trade are committed by the retail
dealers, and say that the makers of
butter cannot rightfully claim an eXclu-
sive right to use coloring matter.
THE object of the bill" they say, rs
to prevent competition between two home
industries by building up the one and de-
stroying the other. Such use of the tax
ing power of the government is an abuse
which should not be encouraged or even
legislation of the most dangerous char
acter"

Our Marvellous Mail Service.

1t was only a few days ago that l
called attention to the remarkable accu-
racy with which the mails are handled
and the security of the registry system,
and the report of Mr. Madden, third as
sistant postmaster general suggests an
other reference OF nearly 1900 900
articles handled in the registered mail by
thousands of employees last year, only
81 were lost by carelessness accident or
dishonesty. During the same time there
was transmitted through the regular
mails about $l,611, 500, 900 in government
money, and not dollar was lost.
Surely no greater testimonial is posi-
BILE to be given to any service than these
astounding figures Mr.. Madden says,
and it is doubtful if any private cor
poration in the world can match 1t. If
the government can with perfect con-
tidence intrust billions of dollars of its
money to the registered mails-and the
government matter is not hedged about
with any greater safeguards than en-
circle the letters of the humblest individ-
ual-what cause for apprehension can
exist to deter the private citizen from
patronizing this service - LChicago

Cuban eondhoIders Want s4so. 600, 900.

Preliminary skirmishing in a battle for
about $45O,0OO,0OO has already begun in
Washington. Holders OF the Cuban war
bonds, issued by Spain to raise funds
for the prosecution of the wars in Cuba,
are again moving to get their money
back
A lobby is already at work in Washing
ton, and 1t has HAD representatives at
the Cuban constitutional convention seek
ing to shape the constitution of the is
land so as to admit of a compromise re-
garding this stupendous claim.
In Cuba the bondholders have met with
defeat. The draft of the constitution
now being considered shuts out any pos
sibility OF compromise on these bonds,
put has lett the way open for the pay
ment of the bonds of the republic of
cuba, issued by the junta. This pro-
vision appears in the I'D section of the
draft.
1t is said here by men high in the gov
eminent that an effort will be made,
when the constitution is submitted to
Congress for its approval to amend the
constitution so as to open the door to a
consideration by the Cuban government,
when formed, of the claims under the
Cuban debt.

wEYLERlsM lN sourH AFRlcA.

The call for 5000 British yeomanry, the
declaration of martial law in large por
ton of Cape Colony, and the continued
activity of the Boer forces at many
points reveal the magnitude of the un -
finished task of Great Britain ln % IN
Africa. Great Britain was Obliged 70
put In the field to subdue the Beers the
largest army sne has mobilized IN any
previous war. Mr.. Wyndham declatS ss
in the House of Commons some months ils
ago that $4,000 British troops, with 49z
guns, were then in South Africa. In me
Crlmean war she had 10000 in the nelu'
and Wellington had INV at NalerlOV.
Notwithstanding the presence, OF TINS
large army, under the command OF ENG
lands greatest commanders despite tne
succession of British victories, the cup
ture of Boer capitals the depletion OF the
small Boer armies and the trlumphait
British announcements that the Soutl
African war hads ended, the subJugatoil
of the Beers has not yet been completeu,
and fresh levies of troops are requlreu
to enforce obedience to British authorily.
The rigid enforcement of martial law
i'm Cape Colony and the order that no
one in the Cape Peninsula, except Qmclals
and regular or Irregular troops, shall pe
permitted to have arms or ammuni
ton are necessary precautions, inasmucn
as the Dutch inhabitants OF Cape Colony
exceed the British residents in the pro-
portion of three to one.
But the enforcement of the technical
martial law is of slight moment compareu
with the policy of WeyleriSm, Whlch
l1OTu hllCneueT Is TtpoIltu " bt ~
suing with the Beers. W neither combat
ants or non-comDatants, adults or chill
dren, and Irrespective of sex, all Beers
captured are treated as war prisoners.
Weyler's reconcentrado methods are fol-
lowed, and men, women and children are
collected In camps near towns, ana are
there supported. Those whose husbands
are still in arms are not supplied with
the full allowance of rood but are allow
ed the fun supply when the husband sur
renders. Such is the story. According
to reports long current, the stock of the
Beers farms is removed and houses and
barns have been destroyed, so that the
farm houses may not afford refuge for
escaping prisoners. The reconcentrado
policy may be extended to Cape Colony.
Mr.. Balfour recently said in Parliament
that he realized deeply the terrible
danger of embittering the Dutch in
South Africa" Nothing will more surely
produce this result than these extreme
policies, however plausiby their neces-
sity may be urged as war measures, and
If a 1.-THE of the reports as to British CO.
ercion measures in South Africa be true,
the story of the British occupation of
South Africa will be one of the darkest
chapters in the blac history of English
cOnQuest-I Philadelphia Ledger.
