SUPERINTENDENT EVANS.

County Superintendent w. w.
Evans has finished the first year of
his administration with much credit
to himself, and with great benef
to the schools. He has high ideals,
and he has labored constantly to re-
alize them. One of the most i'm
portant and beneficial Of his innova-
tions has been the publishing Of the
Columbia County Stho0I Journal, a
monthly magazine issued from Sep
tember to May. This has offered a
medium by which he has brought
the directors, teachers and pupils
closer together, and has enabled HIM
to get himself i'll closer touch with
all the schools. At first, there was
some little resentment manifested at
what was considered a too strict
surveillance on the part of the sup
erintendent Some directors were
not pleased with tine prospect of
having made public the fact that
they had not made a single visit
during the year, to the schools Of
their district, and were slow to ac-
cept any advice or suggestions from
a young man so new to the Office,
But Mr.. Evans evident determina-
tion to perform all his duties fear
lessly now commands respect, and
he is receiving hearty cooperation
in quarters where he at first found
most opposition to his plans, and it
is now generally acknowledged that
the affairs ofthe public schools have
never been better administered than
they are now.
The continuance Of the SthOol
Journal, we understand, has not
yet been decided upon. The Sup
erintendent gave much valuable
time and labor to the preparation of
the Journal each month, and at the
end of the year he found himself
several hundred dollars out of pock-
ct. That it accomplished much
good is admitted, but it is not fair
to ask him to continue its publica-
tion at his own expense. The sub
scription price is only fifty cents a
year, and there ought to be enough
friends of the public schools who
are willing to pay this small sum,
to put it on basis where it will at
least pay for itself. It's publication
was great stride forward, and its
discontinuance would be a back
Some scheme ought to be
devised to maintain it, so that the
good work that it has already done
may continue and increase.

Upset by the Gale.

Henry Bredbenner was among
those who experienced some of the
force OF the storm last Saturday.
He had been to Bloomsbury attend
ing market with a load of truck,
and having disposed of his goods
was on his way to his home in Main
township. His fourteen years old
son John was with him. When
they reached a point near Burt
Bankes' in that township, on the
river road, the wind caught the
covered truck wagon and turned it
over into the gutter which was full
OF water. The horse was thrown
down, but regained its feet and
went down off the other side of the
road with the wagon, Coming TO
stream which it could not cross it
came back up to the road and went
home. The top of the wagon was
broken, but no other damage done.
When thrown in the gutter the boy
was under the crates, and Mr..
Bredbenner had to let the horse go,
as he was busy rescuing his son
from under the boxes, otherwise
the boy might have drowned. They
started home through the storm,
but before they reached there, they
were met by Mrs. Bredbenner and
a neighbor, Mr.. Goodman. The
wife was naturally very much al
armed when the horse came home
alone with the wagon broken, and
had started out to meet them. Mr..
Bredbenner's head was cut and his
leg bruised, but not seriously. He
was IN town on Tuesday standing
in market as usual.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

Since the death of J. l.. Girtou
there has been no one in the town
who is specially authorized to pro.
tect dumb animals from cruelty.
Mr.. Girton was an officer Of the so.
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, but no successor has
been appointed. There are occas-
ional exhibitions of abuse. Not
long since man drove horse from
Danville to Bloomsbury in 3S min
utes, on a wager. When the Ex-
change Hotel was reached the horse
was ready to drop, and it was a
clear case of cruelty, but no one
wanted to appear as prosecutor,
though many bystanders were loud
in their denunciation of the driver.
Some one interested in horses oue ht
to be willing t) accept the appoint
ment as agent for the Society. We
believe there are some fees attached
to the position.

TIE LIBRARY.
The Directors we'll Pleased with the First
Months Work.

There was unanimous expression
of satisfaction on the part of the di-
rectors of the Bloomsburg Public Ii
brary at the amount of work done by
the library during the month just end
ed at the meeting held Tuesday even
ing. The meeting was attended by
all the directors but two and lively
interest was manifested. In regard
to the matter of maintainance 1t was
decided to allow those who have filed
out support slips to exercise their own
prerogative as to the manner or time
of payment, that is they can pay it all
ct once or at any time within three or
six months. There has been a very
liberal and altogether gratifying re-
sponse from the slips but still more is
needed to place the library upon the
desired self sustaining basis.

ton and submitted to the directors,
was a most pleasing one, and showed
that the people are appreciating the
library.
A program and course of study are
now under consideration which will
have for their aim systematic and pur-
pose reading.
To all those who spoke at the
opening held in the Court House a
vote of thanks was extended, and it
was ordered that letter of thanks be
sent to each one of them.
The library is here to stay, and
with the proper support and co.opera-

is no height in usefulness and good to

is one of which the town can we'll feel

We overheard a lady say she
wouldn't go to a certain church pic
mic because the people were too un-
sociable. There is some merit in
that claim too. AT church picnic
everybody should enter into the
spirit of the occasion and make an
effort to have everybody enjoy
themselves. Unfortunately there
are always some people who hug
their exclusiveness too close to their
hearts. Preachers should tell their
people from the pulpit to extend a
welcome to outsiders and thereby
encourage the spirit of sociability,
and Sunday school teachers should
warn their scholars of the hallow-
ness of life based on selfshness.
BE sociable at your church picnics
and you will have bigger crowds
and better time.

PR0FLIGAOY IN WASHINGTON.

The scandals in the post Office
department, in the war department
in the fiscal service of the municipal
government and in the police de-
partment in Washington are the
prolific sources of gossip in the ma
tional capital. Every department
appears to be honeycombed with
crime of one character or another
and the heads are apparently power
less to either regulate or check the
trouble. The government is de-
moralized, as matter of fact, and
no man can predict the outcome of
the Investigations already in pro-
gress and those yet to be instituted.
Still Republican state conventions
in various sections are pointing
with pride" to the record of the
party. The Pennsylvania conven-
ton which met week or so before
the postal revelations began declar-
ing with Pharisaical satisfaction that
III half a century the public had
lost nothing in defalcation or delin-
quency of the party. The facts
show that ever since Senator Hanna
and his friends have broken into
the places of authority there has
been a saturnalia OF corruption and
a carnival of crime in Washington.
1t has found lodgment in every
place.
The maladministration, misap-
preparation and profligacy of the
government by the Republican par
ty have cost the people more since
the civil war than the successful
prosecution of that most expensive
of all wars, ancient or modern, cost,
from beginning to end. If the re-
dundaut revenues and the taxes in
cldent to the protective system
which never reached the treasury
are considered, the people have
paid as much as the present valu-
alton of all kinds OF prperty over
and above the legitimate expenses
OF the government.

Fridays atmospheric experience
has convinced us that of all summer
discomforts excessive humidity is
the worst. From different sections
of the country comes reports of in
tense heat and numerous deaths and
prostrations. AT Harman & Has
sert's in the afternoon the ther-
mometer registered us and at many
other places it was equally as warm.
1t is difficult to enjoy even driving
in such weather as that of Friday.
Even at the watering places, the
papers say, people stewed and
steamed and simmered in the at
mosphere of a Turkish bath. The
writer feels like apologizing for
these remarks upon the hackneyed
subject of the weather. However,
the weather has been the foremost
topic of conversation, hence this dis

Pope Plus x.

The succession of Cardinal Ssrto OF
Venice, to the papacy is contemplated
with satisfaction by all who have know
ledge of the personal charac ter and fit
ness of the pope elect. he is man of
ability, of high personal character. and
of broad liberality. 1t is thought that
his policy will include an earnest pur-
pose to harmonic the relations of the
church with the Italian civil govern
ment. Since the days of Plus TX, the
relations have been strained. Since
the wrestling of temporal power from
the church by Victor Emmanuel, the
pope has maintained the attitude of be-
ing pris oner of war in the Vatican.
This peculiar condition has been neld
by the Italian government, and it is
believed that Plus x, the new pope.
will endeavor to haye matters adjusted
upon a satisfactory basis.

While the ruction in the Govern
ment Printing Office over the rein
statement of MI. w. A. Miller, of
Minneapolis, is not over, signs are
not lacking that the bookbinders
are preparing to recede from their
arbitrary position. AS the matter
now stands Miller is at work in his
old position; the Union men are re-
ceiving orders from him, and the
Government Printer is supposed to
be considering the protect and set
of charges prepared by the Union
against Miller's reinstatement. l
have it from good authority that
there is no reason to expect any I'M
mediate action on the part OF the
public printer, as the papers have
all been filed with the President and
are being carefully considered by
him. The somewhat experlous
conduct of the union officials in this
case has served to shed light on the
union methods in the national orln-
tery. The CIVIL Service Commits
sion has taken a hand in the affair
and there is every reason to believe
that sore radical changes will be
make in the government OF the Of
fee. No matter what action the
president may take in the case of
Miller, the union has suffered a
sereve loss of prestige, and it is safe
to say will never be able to regain
the commanding position which it
has previously held. Heretofore,
apparently, there has beed an arbi-
tary ruling that refused to belong
to the Union barred ones admission
to the Government Printing Office.
No matter how obscure the position
the occupant was compelled to pay
dues to the Union and be governed
by it's arbitrary rules. Hereafter it
is more than probable that the I'm
ions influence will cease to domi-
nate appointments OF TO dictate dis
missals. The hot-air Artists among

structed to assume a recumbent at

northwest trayersed by these two
lines of road will have not only the
lowest rates but the best railroad
service west of Chicago. These are
considerations worthy of serious
thought. Public opinion, misdirect-
eddy designing politicians, deceived
by cunning appeals to prejudice,
for time lost sight of the real is
sue in the case. 1t is beginning to
take a truer view of the situation.
Judge Lochren concludes his de-
cision as follows:
1t is plain from the Minnesota stat
court of the state that the railroads,
with their rolling stock and appliances
shall be kept in high state of safety
and efficiency; and that rates Of trans
portatation, while kept ample to secure
sonable, stable and uniform.
Under this system, shippers can caunt
accurately the cost of transportation as
an expense in their business, with the
assurance that others engaged in like
expense.
All complaints that published rates
are unreasonable are heard and deter
mined by these state officials, who may
fix rates binding on the railroads: thus
between rival railroads.
As result of the policy, and the alb
solute power of the state officials to fix
foc Of lnNu
reasonable figures, competition be-
tween RIVAL railroads no longer re-
duces rates, as it did when railroad
companies alone controlled them.
On the contrary, where two or more
railroads divide the transportation be-
tween two places the necessity of con-
sidering greater fixed charges and
greater cost of administration and
operation may make the reasonable
rate fOt transportation greater than if
the whole business could be done and
was in fact done by one railroad.
However that may be, the Northern
Securities company is but an investing
stakeholder in these two railroad com
panies, without power to consolidate
them or to interfere with the manage
ment or control of either. Because of
its large holdings of these stocks it
may elect the board of directors of
each, who must be composed of entire
ly different persons.
Each board will appoint the officers
and control the business and affairs
OF it's own corporation and will ma
turally seek to increase it's business
and property.
Neither has any power to contr oil the
other nor to contract with the other
in constrain of trade. There is no
that either will disobey
the law or be guilty of the commission
of penal offenses.
Should they do these things then the
antitrust act of MINES ota will be for
the first time violated, and the rail
road corporations and their offend
ing officials will be amenable to pun
ishment, and to appropriate legal or
equitable proceedings.
Decree will be entered dismissing
the bill.
