Governor Yates, of Illinois, has addressed
a letter to the sheriff of Saline county CEN
surfing him very severely for allowing a
colored school to be broken up and advising
its patrons and teachers to leave the coun-
ty. The Governor tells the sheriff in dig
nified but very plain terms that he was
grossly derelict in duty IN not protecting
the colored people. and that his conduct
had brought disgrace on the county and
State. There is one thing you can do and
should do at once" the Governor writes.
You should locate all the parties whom
you advised to leave and should urge them
to return, guaranteeing them full immunity
from further disturbance. If you do not
do so, I will. And if you do not employ all
necessary force to see that they are not DIS
turbed, I will consider it my duty to do so
at once" The sheriff will probably conclude
on reflection that in pandering TO local mob
spirit he made a mistake.

Twenty-one students of Andover Acad-
envy who undertook to pass the Princeton
entrance examinations have had their pa
pors rejected on the ground that they prac-
ticed crihbing. When so large a number
of students from one school are found
ready to engage in such a dishonest prac-
tice 1t looks, somehow, as if there were a
laxity in the moral training of the institu-
ton. West Point prides itself on the rigid
sense of honor which it ~inculcates in it's
students. Is there any good reason why all
schools for boys should not have as high a

That the American people have unfalter-
ing faith in the saving power of legislation
reduced during the late session of Con-
gress. The bills to increase invalid pen
sions numbered $500. while 2,4SS were for
war claims and 1883 were on military mat
ters. Only a very few of those Of a general
nature became laws. because 1t was impos-
sibIe to get them before Congress. Consid-
ering the peril involved in the enactment
of many of the bills. there may be some
thing said in favor Of the limitless debate
of the Senate.

The Emperor of Germany has undertaken
to regulate some features of the marriage
relation, as far as army officers are con-
cerned, by an order which will strike Amer
leans as decidedly arbitrary. The order
provides that where an officers salary ia
less than that of a captain but equal to
SLIPS he must have a private income of
1915 before permission will be given for him
to marry. District officers of the gendar-
merle with a salary of 5000 must have a
private income of s525. officers at the dis
position of the authorities who do not have
an income of $3.50 must not apply for per-
mission to marry. These figures show the
Emperor does not intend that officers shall
marry without an assured income equal to
the requirements of a matrimonial estab-
lishment. AS there are no restrictions on
civilians they nave the advantage of the
military aristocracy in this respect at least.

Frank Norris, in the July Critic, COM
plains that no books worth while are being
written for girls. Adults books there
are" he says, land books for boys by the
carload, but where are the books for
girls?" To this it may be said that the
books for adults and boys (the term
books" being used by him as apparently
synonymous with fction) are compare
lively few of them worth while, either.
Also, it is to be said that if any really ex-
cellent books Of adventure and sport for
boys are written they are probably read
and enjoyed quite as well by the girls Of
the same age. Moreover. Mr.. Norris might
be surprised if he were aware at how early
an age girls, with a taste for reading, be-
gin to read books that were written for
adults, and how much good and how little
harm they get from them-if the books are
worth while for adults. If the men and
women who write books will content them
selves with producing the very best litera-
ture possible to them, whether for youth
full or mature readers, the question of read
ing for young girls will take care of itself.
