The very large number of would-be
teachers who failed to pass at the last
state examination has set acme peo-
pie to- thinking, Itsseems that mos mos;
of the applicants are from the, 4hieh
schools Of the state, and are supposed
to have finished the common branches.
which are the only branches required
for second grade certificate. .of
those who had not taught before, only
five per cent passed: This certainly
Is . very bad showing Tor our high
school system. It disregards the COM
mon branches in order to force q few
students through the course, read y
to enter the university. Is it not
about time to change the curriculum

ninety-five per cent OF the students who
do not desire to 60 to the university.
and q little less to the five per cent
that aim to reach that institution?

Gov. Cummins of Iowa still persists
In talking about tariff reform to be
accomplished by the republican party.
He still believes in protection as a
means OF building up industries, but
be thinks that when an industry be-
comes as we'll developed as the iron
industry, for instance, and can com.
pete with the world it is time to re-
move protection. In this he undoubt-
edly voices the thoughts of the vast
majority of the American people, and
it an uninduenced vote of the re-
publicans in the entire country could
be taken Cummins would most likely
be uphe' d in his views.
Nevertheless, the republican party
will not reform the tariff in accord
ance with the ''Iowa idea When
ever the question is mentioned the
leaders of the party hold up their
hands in holy horror and say that any
attempt to reform any schedule in the
tariff will open the whole subject and
cause such fear aud distrust among
capitalists that crisis will be precip-
itated. They are willing to acknow-
ledge that the tariff might be reformed
with profit to the country, but then the
capitalists are superior to everything
else and their corns must not be
tramped upon. The republican party
is so firmly convinced that the pros
perity of this country depends upon
keeping the capitalists in good humor
that the man who hopes to see reform
come through that party is doomed to
disappointment.

The basis of computing the earning s

the proposition been put in that way

The sugar trust sen-beg, pardon,
the United States senate adjourned
last Thursday afternoon, after ratify-
ing the canal treaty and pretending to
ratify the Cuban treaty. Its work on
the latter measure showed how com.
pletely the sugar trust dominated the
body. First it adopted an amendment
providing that no further reductions
in sugar duties should be made for the
next five years, thus insuripg the sug-
or trust against foreign competition
during that time. Then it adopted an
amendment that the treaty should not
go into effect until passed by both
houses of congress. This will throw
the measure into the next session of
congress, and the whole matter will
have to be fought over again. Mean
while Cuba will be shut out of our
markets and the sugar trusts will have
unlimited sway over the coutry.

Nicholas of Russia.

The decree of the car of Russia
providing for religious freedom
throughout his realm and instituting
local reforms is the most far reaching
and significant ukase since that which
emancipated the serfs. ;.
The decree grants a tolerance wide
enough to take in both Tolstoi and
the Jews.
In connection Herewith, local self
government, a phase of Russian prog
ress little understood in this country,
is given q wider reach and applica-
tion.
Thus, while reactionary movements
are being advocated in this free gov
ernment CT ours, great victories for
tolerance and democracy are being
won in Europe where least expected.
Whether or not, as claimed by
some, the reforms instituted by Nj
cholas are attributable to the influ-
ence OF the czarina, the granddaughter
OF Victoria, it is true that in his light
years. rule hemmed in as he is by
autocracy and bureaucracy, the czar
has shown himself the most liberal
and progressive of all the Romanofs.

President Stickney of the Great
Western is q giant among giants in
the business world. About q year
ago he surprised the bankers of the
country BY presenting q complete plan
for reforming the currency OF the
country so as to avoid all: danger Of
. crisisin the future. Now he has
solved for the railroads the difficult
question Of getting around the Elkins
bill against granting rebates. To be-
sure, most of the roads doznot care to
get around that provision now, as
they are working. under the community
OF interest plan. But where there is
still . field for fighting they would
like to grant rebates without having
TO answer in court for it. Stickney's
plan is 80 simple that most of ike rail-
road men will wonder why they were
so stupid as not to discover it them
selves. Stickney says the Elkins bill
prohibits granting secret rebates, so
he goes to work and makes an open
contract with large manufacturer to
ship his goods over the Great West
ern road at discount. That is no
secret rebate, so he has violated no
law, while he obtained the business he
was after. The other roads will have
to follow his example, and 80 the large
corporations in certain cities will have
the benefit OF rebatee, while the email
shippers and the farmers will have to
pay enough to make up the loss to the
roads. Oh, yes, congress settled the
trust question completely. There is
no longer any room for doubt on that
point,

choice. It is compulsatory on the com
pany to lay its tracks to grade. The
franchise should have made it optional
with the city whether the tracks should
be laid on the established grade, or the
existing grade.
I'VE are certainly up against an un-
expected pleasure said Street Commits
Sioner Snyder today. 1T looks as though
we would have to add another big ex-
pense to our already heavy street force
bills. If the railway company puts all
its tracks to grade. as the ordinance re-
quires, it will be absolutely necessary
that the streets should be regarded.
Very few of the unpaved streets have
ever been cut down to ordinance grade,
because it has not been necessary. The
ordinance grade is always followed in
laying pavement, but most of the I'M
paved streets are considerably above
grade
Il can't tell anything about how much
it will cost. 1t depends on how much
dirt must be moved; how far it must be
hauled and the character of the excaVa-
| ton. 1t costs less per yard to make a
deep cut than shallow one From
| what / have seen, though, l judge that
every unpaVed street in town where the
street railway is being built will have
| to be regarded more or less. Sometimes
when we reduce the grade of a street it
necessitates a great deal of work in low
