1t is said that the patronage oil the
Benning's race track during the present
racing season has fallen off to some ex-
tent because of the attitude Of the
Treasury officials toward the attendance
of Treasury Department clerks. The
officials have set their faces against
gambling of all kinds, as have also bank
presidents, and a number for clerks have
recently been dismissed to INDUCING
their speculative desires. This has had
the effect of keeping many from the
races, out of the bucket shops and from
gambling places. Second race. "a mile.

MONDAY EVENING, NOV. "a, 1902

The SAD scenes in connection with
the death of little girl named Elsie
Eisman in New York on Saturday last
should be more than hint to parents
who allow the immature brains of their
little ones to be "crammed" or over
taxed in public or private schools.
The child, it appears, died from too
much arithmetic. The little one had
worked and agonized over problems she
could not comprehend in attempts to
make a certain percentage in order to
keep up with her class. On Thursday
she went home all in a tremble. She
became delirious Friday and died Satur-
dav. II is the conviction of many
people that much cruelty is uninten-
tionally inflicted upon certain children
in prodding them for the purpose OF
making them keep up with classes In all
branches of study. While it has long
since dawned upon other people that all
children have not the same aptitude ior
certain studies, the majority OF peda-
gogues seem to be oblivious to that fact.
Mathematics is science born in some
children. The books, as it were, open
to them. Such scholars may at the
same time proved very dull in orthog-
raphy, the study of languages, &c. II
a child is found to have "no head Tor
figures" the ground rules of arithmetic
should be all that is required OF 1t.
The young one may prove precocious
in other studies. 1t is believed that
many of the cerebral troubles incident
to Young children have their origin in
the well-meaning acts of those having
charge of their education, and the sad
case referred to above should sbe con-
sidered by those having in charge the
education of the young.

THE DANGER which now threatens
the Presidents professed reform policy is
that the administration and the public
alike will be tricked by the protectonists
in Congress especially by those in the
Senate. If the President recommends
legislation authorizing the appointment
of a tariff commission at this session OF
Congress both houses will gladly pass
such a bill. But tariff commission
commits Senators 20 nothing and promises
delay. The report of a tariff commission
like that of any other body apart from
the Senate, will be treated with scant
consideration unless it happens to meet
with the Senate's approval. 1t would
mean only the framing of a bill to be
acted upon more than year hence, and
the Senate will deal with such bill ac-
cording to the interests Of its members.
In the meantime it will have allayed
public suspicion and public clamor.
Some similar action in connection with
the trust question is not improbable, for
legislation which appears to deal with
an evil and yet leave it untouched is
system of action held in high esteem hy
the Senate, and Senators who have studied
evasion in connection with all legislation
are experts in preparing laws of this
character.

THE DEATH of Herr Won Krupp
is attributed to newspaper attacks OF
German socialists, whose enmity the
deceased had incurred for no othe:
reason than the fact that he preserved
amicable relations between himself and
the one hundred and fifty thousand
people dependent upon him for employ
ment. By his action the socialists were
thwarted in their attempts to obtain a
foothold in Essen. Herr Won Krupp
was a sufferer from heart disease, and 1T
IL peueved the Attacks or This element
precipitated his death. The statement
is made that the people employed by the
deceased were satisfied with their sur
roundings and had no issue whatever
with their employer. These conditions
did not suit the socialists; they wanted
tzQslo1e, failed to find cause for friction
and miscarried in attempts to produce
discomfort in the large army OF men,
women and children employed in the
Krupp works and eventually made war
upon the proprietor for being responsible
for the tranquility they could not dis
turb. The above but shows the animus
of modern agitators. In some countries
they are called socialists; in Others
communists, nihilists, &c. They are
known as anarchists in the United States,
and are crosses between the discordant
elements of other climes who leave their
countries for their countries good. They
are averse to government, capitalists,
hard work and, some say, to soap. The
Grman authorities are, very properly,
taking measures toward prosecuting the
newspapers in which the attacks upon
Herr Won Krupp appeared.

LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.


In the Senate on Saturday the most
important action of the day was the IN
PRODUCTION and subsequent withdrawal OF
a resolution proposing to create codliy-
ing commission of the two houses. IL
would have reopened the old difference
between the two bodies on this question
aad uselessly consumed the time OF the
more numerous body.
Billie were introduced amending the
code in relation to civil action for small
claims before magistrates.
Providing for service of summons In

Mr.. Massie presented a joint resolu-
ton, which was agreed to requesting the

years ending respectively Both OF June,
1899. 1900, 1901 and 1902, and showing
what amount in each year Vas derived
from cities and towns and what amount
from counties.
The Joint resolution providing for
codification of the laws was taken UP
and was concurred in. The resolution
provides for conference of committee
chairmen to divide the various chapters

to subcommittee.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Heermans, one Of the minority
representatives, proposed to dismiss the
Committee for Courts Of Justice from the
consideration further of the resolution OF
inquiry in the case of Judge Clarence }.
Campbell, of Amherst, and offered in its
stead resolution impeaching and re-
moving the judge and giving notice to
him of such proposal to remove him from
Office. The resolution embodied charges
against the Judge. No expression OF the
members on the merits of the case was
elected, but the impression was general
that the Committee for Courts of Justice
bad had no opportunity to consider the
bill, which it was proposed to supersede
more drastic action. The resolution was
accordingly referred to the committee.
Bill were introduced:
Providing for the extension of the cor
porate limits of cities and towns. The
most salient feature of the bill is proba-
bly, that which expressly provides that
the rate of taxation in the newly acquired
territory shall not be increased except in
proportion to the permanent improve
ments made therein; nor shall any bonds
be issued against such territory except
for the purpose of making permanent
improvements therein. The people shall
decide in an election whether or not they
shall be taken into the cities of the State.
