EDUCATIONAL.

Prof. J. J. Doyne, our worthy superintendent of public institI tion has taken upon himself to give Arkansas an exhibit in the educational line at the St. Louis Fair in 1903. He is sending oat literature asking county eXami- ners, teachers and school direc- tors to begin work now on this undertaking.
 He says among other things It is the earnest desire of the friends of education to see the work of our public schools ade- quately represented at the St. Louis Exposition in 1903, and the cooperation of your school board in this iaudable undertaking is much needed. The committee on education hopes to secure from the leading schools of the state exhibits covering the fol lowing:
 1. Pictures Of the school buildings.
 2. Interior view of the same.
 8. Pictures of class groups Gall pictures to be of uniform size, unmounted.)
 4. Map-drawing, paper of

uniform size for all grades.
 5, Specimens of free-hand and other kinds of drawing.
 6. Specimens of penmanship, in copying selections.
 7. Natural history work, as teacher may suggest.
 8. Handiwork of manual train ing classes.
 9. Written work on all sub jects, paper of uniform size, 63 by II.
 The teachers should be re- quested to have the exhibit in mind, and from time to time preserve such work of the pupils as may seem specially meritori- ous. It will be necessary that material in the shape of paper with proper heading, and other supplies be at the service of the teacher, and also that the ex- pense of taking pictures be met. These expenses must be borne by the district or by private sub scription. Someone will be call ed upon to devote a portion of his time in securing such inter- est as will make the project 8 success. You are the head of the school interest of your dis

WASHINGTON.

Russia has lost no time in retaliat1ng
against the order of Secretary Gage in
creasing the tariff upon Russian sugar.
Count Cassini, Russia's Ambassador at
Washington, is in receipt of informa-
ton by cable that his government made
an order abolishing all concessions to
American iron, steel, hardware and
machinery. The effect of the order is
TO advance the Russian tariff 80 per
cent upon all these products. American
exports of iron and steel manufactures
to Russia last year amounted to about
$50, 900, 000, and it is believed the advance
of 80 per cent in the tariff will com
pletely kill that trade.
Russia has become one of America 5
best customers, and the development
following the completion of the Trans
Siberian railroad promised to give our
mills and factories additional millions
worth Of trade. Politically Russia was
friendly and had made concessions OF
80 and % per cent in tariffs to favor
American imports. At one stroke these
are abolished in favor of Germany and
Great Britain, our only rivals in these
lines. All this for tariff penalty upon
paltry $3.50 900 worth, or less, of Rms
sian sugar.
: The bill to authorize the holding OF
the international exposition in celebra-.
ton of the centennial anniversary OF
OF the Louisiana purchase at st. Louis
in 1903 and appropriating S5. 0OO, 600
therefor passed the House Monday
under suspension of the rules by vote
of 1O1 TO Al. The opposition was hope
lessly in the minority and the struggle
over the bill was brief.
The Ship Subsidy bill met with de-
feat in the Senate.

Libel Law Tinkering.

The first of Senator Grady's serial at
tempts to muzzle free discussion OF
public affairs by the press was very
materially improved by the adoption of
the Cooper amendment in the House
Yesterday. That amendment, however.
does not make the new bill as good
as the existing law.
1t in clever and pertinent commen-
tary to propose in this amendment to
make statutory declaration of the
constitutional liberty Of the press. and
the unwelcomed character Of that
amendment il sufficiently illustrated
by the opposition Of the supporters of
the Grady brand of legislation TO the
adoption Of the language Of the Con-
stitutiop. But an example in the way
in which the Cooper amendment falls
-aseJ Of its own standard is afforded
In its exclusion Of the plea OF justifica-
ton "where the words used are plainly
directed against private character !"
Private character In the case of cam
didate for Office may sometimes have
the most cogenr public interest. IL an
embezzler in private life should become
q candidate for an Office Of public trust
would Mr.. Cooper have the press de-
barred from informing the people Of
his private characterf
As to Mr.. Grady's second installment
or press censorship, ID il the sort of bill
which the gentlemen in tempory retire
ment at Riverside and Moyamensing
would pass IL they had the opportunity
OF the gentlemen at Harrisburg.
There il no need for any such absurd
legislation. The present libel ID ade-
quate for the civil and criminal punish
ment OF abuses by the press. No case
has been cited of any honest man who
has been injured invoking it in vain
There are some reckless and malignant
journals but their number is happily
few. The improvement in public taste
is better corrective for papers with a
vicious animus than any ridiculous and
extreme measures like the second Grady
bill. Dispatch.
