The cash trade in dry goods has

The complication growing out Of the
recent election of superintendent of
the graded school has been a matter
of decided interest during the week.
AS nearly as the facts can be express
ed, it seems that there was very gener-
al satisfaction among the patrons with
the administration of Superintendent
Daniel and no well-BrOundeu lntlrrla-
tion of a proposed change. The news
Of the change, therefore, came as sur
prise that aroused some Of the patrons
to feel called upon to express them
selves, and a petition to the board was
the result. So far as Is known, there
Is no reason to believe otherwise than
that the board was prompted in Its
action by a proper spirit looking to the
promotion of the best interests Of the
school, and the movement Of the pa
irons was more in the nature Of testi-
monials Of appreciation of Mr.. Daniel,
rather than a protest against the
board. It seems to have been pretty
generally appreciated that the unfortu-
nate circumstance rendered impossible
the continuance Of the right feeling be-
tween Mr.. Daniel and the board, and
that he could not accept reconsideration
no more than the board could reconsid-
er. The newly elected superintendent,
of course, was not involved, for the
signers to the petition do not know
