HE SEEMS TO PREFER THE PANAMA.

not only thru remembrance but bycom-
parison. From the republican press OF
Iowa his son received a warm welcome
for his fathers sake and the best wishes
and hopes for his development to his
fathers editorial stature. Abuse of the
president, misuse of terms, and the
| stale rant of populism is scarcely in the
line of such development however. 1t
| is incredible that the readers of the
| Telegraph Herald demand such stuff.

New York city, with 4 school budget
of nearly s20,000,OOO this year-a larg-
er sum than is expended for purposes of
education by any other city in the world
and very much larger than is expended
by many countries-is far at the head
of the list of American cities in this
particular, tho the expenses for school
purposes in other cities have been in
creasing rapidly in recent years. Bos-
ton expends for public instruction near
ly 100000 year; Philadelphia, which
on account of low rents and the homo
geneity OF its population, has small
school expenses compared with its large
population, $3,50O,oO0, and Washington.

JUDGED against American goods is de-

news. The average reader of the pub
iished accounts of the mayors Falstaf-
fan girth had naturally associated
Brenton with beverage.

From the editorial sanctum to the
cashiers box of a chop house marks the
transit of II. S. Kneedler, former we'll
known Iowa newspaper man. Kneed-
ler's latest venture in newspaper max
ing was at Boone, where he found there
