Philadelphia is again humi-
lated by the discovery that it is
impossible to convict a politician
guilty of election frauds, no mat
ter how clear and convincing the
evidence against him. The bal
lot box and the official papers of
the election proved that the
crime was committed. One of
Salter's tools, who was also in
dicted for the crime, pleaded
guilty to the conspiracy and
served a year in prison. Salter
himself resigned his Office of
deputy coroner, ran away and
was a fugitive from justice for
two years. When at last he
mustered up courage to come
home and stand trial before Il
jury in which he had confidence,
he swOre an alibi, but his own
evidence as to his whereabouts
did not agree with that given by
his friends who were trying to
help him out. Yet he is now ac-
quilted, along with four of the
tools who followed instructions
about stuffing the ballot box

REMEDIES SUGGESTED BY AN EDUCATOR

The annual report of w. T. Darlington
state superintendent of public schools OF
Missouri, contains important recommends
tions or suggestions, together with fund
of statistical information. The total school
enumeration of children over 6 and under
20 years of age is 969, ,4S2; the total enroll
ment in the schools is 703,057; the average
daily attendance is 472,799. There are 1858
districts in the state having less than
twenty pupils. This is about one-fourth OF
the entire number of districts in the state.
The average length of school term is 143
days Only 121 schools have less than four
months term and only / ,O66 have less than
six months term. There we're graduated
from the rural schools last year 1889 pu-
pills. Not quite one-half of the districts
in the state have libraries. The number
having libraries is 4,303 $43, ,S9295 was
spent for Libraries in the rural districts.
OF the 16347 teachers in the state, 6,013
hold only third grade county certificates.
The average annual salary of teachers is
S306.16. An interesting fact in this con-
nectiOn is that the average salary for fe-
male teachers is S1.63 more than IT is for
male teachers. The total expenditures dur
ing the year were $S,169, ,28S43, which is an
annual expenditure per capita population OF
the state of S2.52. There are twenty-one
states expending more per capita on its
schools than Missouri. Both Colorado and
Nevada are spending more than twice as
much. The total amount of the perma-
nent public school funds Estate. seminary,
county and district is S12, 1876 ,5l653.
The following statements concerning ru-
raj schools are taken from the report:
"The little school house has ever been
the center OF community life in pioneer
countries. 1t loses its attractions and in
iuence as the country develops and grows
in wealth and population. There must be
a larger center, fuller OF attractions and
radiating more elements OF culture and re-
hnement Because of this the rural high
school has become a necessity and the en-
rlchment of rural life is the great problem.
Fully One-fifth OF our 10000 teachers are
beginners each year, and most Of them be-
gin in the country. II is a safe estimate
that one rural teacher out OF every three
is beginner, hence much Of the unsatis-
factory work in the rural schools is due to
inexperienee.
Too Many Small schools.
"There are too many small schools in
Missouri There are 1859 district schools
having less than twenty pupils in attend
anoe. Such schools, from the very nature
OF the environments. can not be excellent
Just think Of IT, more than one-fourth OF
all the rural schools Of the state have fewer
than twenty pupils. OF these schools s75

GOSPEL OF CIVIL LIBERTY
Part the Pilgrims Played in Spreading II
Throughout the World.
SENATOR HoAR LAUDS ACHIEVEMENT
Inspiring Address by the Massachu-
Setts Senator Mt the PhiIadeI-
phia Celebration of "FOre-
fathers Day"

Senator Hoar was called upon to respond
TO the toast of "Forefathers' Day" at the
Philadelphia celebration. Representing the
Bay State, upon whose rock-bound shores
the Pilgrims FIRST landed. his speech was
looked upon as the address OF the evening
Senator Hoar said in part:
II lie certainly a great delight, as II is a
great honor and privilege, to unite with
the dwellers in your famous and beautiful
city when they celebrate the Pilgrims. How
Il may be with other children cannot tell
But the children OF the Pilgrims love their
memory all the better the more they are
separated from them by space or time.
II once occurred to me that we could not
be sure that II is an undiluted honor to be
invited to speak in eulogy Of our Pilgrim
fathers and mothers on an occasion like
this Have you ever reflected. Mr.. Presi-
dent. that the chief eulogists Of the Pill
grims, since we began TO celebrate this an
niverssry have been, almost without ex-
eeption, the men who had the least of the
Pilgrim or the Puritan element in them
men who would not have been exiles, or re-
formers. or Pilgrims. under any proVoca-
tion at all7
Webster and Choate and Everett and
winthrop have paid tribute to the Pilgrims
better than anyone else. They were great
and useful men In their time. But they
were all OF them absolutely devoted to
maintaining the existing order Of things.
But would not the Pilgrim have been q
failure II that were not true? The social
order which was the result Of the suffering
the Pilgrim endured was a social order Mt
20 be maintained.
We best honor the Pilgrim when we rev.
erently preserve and cherish the state
which was the work Of his hands, mere
martyrdom," as was well said by q bright
woman "is generally a fault, and always
a failure" Martyrdom is bearing witness.
why We Honor the Pilgrim.
The glory OF the Pilgrim is that his tes-
timony has been believed and has prevailed.
The cause In which he gave II has been
won. The verdict has been agreed upon
and rendered. Posterity has established
Il by its mighty and irreyOeable Judgment.
The martyrs Of despotism In all ages have
been as brave and dauntless as the martyrs

will be an exclusive society. II will be the
very aristocracy of martyrdom. Washing
ton will be there, of course, and Sam Ad-
ans, and Laurens, and Nathan Hale, and
Lincoln and Sumner. With all their faults
they will be glad to see Corwin, and old
Tom Benton, and Garrison. Toussaint
L'Overture, who died in a French dun
geon for the liberty of his race, will be
there. They invite colored men to din
ner in that world. Lafayette, who endured
the Austrian dungeon for the liberty OF
the world. will be of the company. Ma
poleon could not get in, even in company
with the dogs, to lick up the crumbs that
fall from the table. The deep, sweet voice
of Kossuth, the Hungarian exile-orator of
two worlds-will be heard there.
i will not undertake to say who of men
now living would be counted worthy of
that illustrious company. OF living men 1t
would be presumptuous to speak. But per-
haps some OF those who, in the death strug-
gle of the little republic in South Africa,
did the best fighting that this world has
seen since Themopylae, will be there Ba-
bini, the author of the state papers which
compare with those of our fathers-which
won the admiration OF Lord Chatham-and
OF whom l hope our republic is not afraid,
that we keep him in exile at Guam. will
be welcome, to discuss with John Winthrop
the true boundary between liberty and au-
thority in the state.
NObIest Country of the Earth.
But this hour is consecrated to patriotic
memories and to hlial love. We are a com
ror Of
birthday Let us not dwell on the faults
or mistakes OF each other. Our Pilgrim
and Puritan fathers and mothers were
men and women. They had faults Of men
and women. But they are to us the noblest
men and women that ever lived. Our coun-
trymen today are men and women. They
have the faults Of men and women Yet.
our country is 20 us the best and noblest
country the earth ever saw, at it's best and
noblest day. Let US rather remember how
we took Cuba by the hand and delivered
her from her age-long bondage; how we
led halting and hesitating Europe to the
relief OF her imprisoned ambassadors in
China; how we are at this moment holding
our mighty shield over beleaguered Venez-
uela, while Theodore Roosevelt says to
imperial England and naughty Germany:
Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
and here shall your proud fleets be stayed"
Surely that tree is for the healing OF
the nations beneath whose shadows sixteen
republics are dwelling in safety and peace.
The teaching Of this Pilgrim celebration
I for us is that our country car be great and
noble only rs she listens to the Pilgrim 5
voice and learns the Pilgrims lesson
Righteousness exalteth a nation. He that
saveth his life shall lose it. Let us have
liberty, II We have to go into exile to get
II. Let us have justice. though we must
dwell in the wilderness to enjoy it, Let US
obey Gods voice, II we must meet death
in his service" or rather, where lib
erty is there can be no exile Where jus
tice is there can be no wilderness. Where
God is there can be no death"

small districts in the state where such an
arrangement may be made with profit

Tuition paid to the adjoining districts will
enable them to employ better teachers,

In speaking of consolidation of districts,
the report says:
Under this law four districts in jackson
county have united and this district has
the distinction OF being Consolidated School
district No. L. In addition to maintaining
the four district schools 1t maintains a
high school at a central point"
Concerning another experiment in Jack
son county 1t says:
The people concluded last summer to
consolidate the schools, build a nice four
room brick, grade the school and maintain
two years high school course. Here is
evolution. Graded rural schools are coming
in Missouri. This consolidation of schools
should be encouraged and division OF dis
tricts discouraged by giving directors au-
thority to arrange for transportation of
children who live more than two miles
from the school"
Truant Schools.
The superintendent OF the New York
schools has reorganized the department: of
compulsory education, SO that there are
now two truant schools, one of which is in
Manhattan and the other in Brooklyn. The

ated as one school. The crowded building
at Manhattan will be used largely as a re-
ceiving school, and hereafter all students
committed for any extended time will be
sent to the Brooklyn farm, the plant OF
which will be very much extended and made
more modern.
The city will be divided into districts
corresponding to the school districts. The
attendance officers will regard the district
superintendent as their superior officers,
and these superintendents will be held re-
sponsibie for the districts. They will try
cases for commitment. and the city super
inteadent will issue the order on their re-
port. This will greatly facilitate the work
of commitment for truancy. each pupil be-
ing tried in the district TO which he be-
longs.

under one municipal government. Canal street is the dividing line which separates the new and ever-spreading 'up-town" or American New Orleans from the down town" or Creole quarter other wise styled the Paris of America" Only an avenue between, and yet what a difference. Uptown the streets are wide and tree-bordered. There is grace and elegance in the modern frame structures. The gardens bloom behind open fences, displaying their beauty to the public gaze. The principal thoroughfare is paved with asphalt and the language spoken on all sides Is English.
 Below canal, the streets are narrow. ne houses are of brick, substantial, an- tlQue. and, as a rule, built flush with the banquette. A large porte cochere opens into a stone-paved hall, uninclosed at the opposite end which gives entrance to a wel-kept garden with a fountain in it's center. A broad stairway leads from this hall to wide verandas which look down upon the quadrangular garden, and are just outside of the salons-great apartments capable of accommodating a regiment of guests

 Fifty pounds of ice in a refrigerator will do the work of seventy-five or one hundred pounds in chest. In the latter you get the cold from contact with the Ice. Necessarily there Is moisture Food spells quickly in moist air. In the refrig- crater you use cold, dry air. and If your refrigerator is constructed on scientific principles. with proper ventilation, food will keep twice as long as in the box I am pleased to call your attention to The Odnrless Refrigerator, manufactured by The Keyser Manufacturing Company, Chattanooga, Tenn. I am using a refrig- orator of this make in my school room keeping 1t, or rather crowding it, with all kinds of materials. l find the ventila- tion is so perfect, that even the milk and butter are not contaminated by foods with odors Of course I have been using this refrigerator a year without scrub ping or scalding 1t.
