the letter says:
sit is the desire of everyone interested
in the educational work of our state,
that our exhibit shall be worthy of our
educational development, and COM
prehensive in its scope. 1t must be
founded on the curriculum and arranged
so as to illustrate it. Each subject in
the years courses of study should be
represented in the exhibit by showing
the length of time devoted, to it, the
nature of the class exercise, specimen
work of the pupil illustrating the subject,
description of teaching method, photo
graphs of the recitation rooms and pupils
and teachers at work. An exhibit of
pupils work may be made to represent
the work of the school with clearness
and fidelity, but in order to do this it
must he honestly prepared and intel
ligently labeled"

Flax has been, so far as profits are con-

abnormally high. In addition to all

The protective tariff policy of the
United States benefits solely the trusts
whose wares are protected at the expense
of home consumers. The suppoeition
that they will pay laborers more than
the current price of labor because of
protection is all bosh. They secure
their laborers at the lowest figure pos
sible and put the 'protection" in their
pockets. This is what has created the
trusts. They are the result of a blind
partisan prejudice which has made men
vote against their own interests.

HE results of Tuesdays election have
left the republicans something to
worry over in number of states. A
republican victory was conceded in
Ohio, but the news of the democratic
victory in New York hangs like an over
shadowing cloud over all other results.
There was decrease in the republican
vote in Iowa. That is joyous news to
the democrats of the west. Maryland
is in line with democratic victory SO
S little Rhode Island and kentucky.
There is in fact a whole lot of food for
thought in the results, that is for
President Roosevelt and his administra-
tion-with presidential campaign in
sight for the next year.

OLD General Buckner sat as a delegate
in republican convention down in
kentucky the other day. Can it be that
the old man has been led off by the fact
that the republicans have nominated his
son-in-law for governor? We think not.
The true explanation Is that General
Buckner deserted his party in 1896 when
he accepted the nomination of the gold
bug contingent of the democratic party
for the office of vice president. When a
man once deserts his party, especially if
it be national election, tits very I'M
safe to count on him thereafter. He
who is not for us is against us and
General Buckner has simply found his
right place.

THOUGH the United States has sus.
tanned its title to the disputed territory,
Canada has no cause to make protest
Owing to the liberality of the American
commissioners it has secured the Port
land canal and port to which it had
no just claims. By claiming much
Canada has gained little. Surely it has
no reason to complain, while the United
States has no cause to rejoice. The
United States has held its own and in
so doing has felt impelled to show its
generosity by granting to Canada port
to which it was not entitled. And yet
Canada is not satisfied.

NEXT MOVE OF KNOX
SPECULATION AS TO ANTI
 TRUST LE0TsLATDoN. :.
James J. Hill Says the Case of the Northern Securities Company Will Be Carried to the
 Supreme Court.

Washington, April A.-tspeciai)- )-There is a great deal of speculation among those who are closest observers of anti trust litigation just now as to the next move of Attorney Knox's prosecuting ma chinery.
 The expectation given voice in somt quarters that the Supreme court will hear argument of appeal in the Northern &c., curities will be disappointed.
 It is only about two weeks before the end of the present term and several im- portant obstacles are in the way of a hearing in that time. The hearing should be before full bench which is not now soon likely in view of the illness of Jus tice Day and the consequent possibility of tie on the bench should the case be heard. NaF
 Biding the settlement of the Northern Securities appeal by the court of last re- sort, it is believed the Department of Jus tice will refrain from any immediate fur ther adventure along the lines of the policy already begun. Attorney General Knox and his subordinate talent are main taining a slkillful silence. but evidently keenly watchful of all public expression and the administrations ostensible cam paign against the trusts.

WROTE OF JEFFERSON.
Cleveland, Bryan, Hill and shep-
 ard to Tammany.


 New York. April N.-Letters from for mer President Cleveland, William J. Bry- an and ex-Senator David B.. Hill, were read at last nights Thomas Jefferson dinner of the Tammany Hall general com mittee of the Thirty-fifth Assembly Dis- trict.
 MT. Cleveland wrote:
 'In the crowded incidents and con stantly changing conditions of our peo- ple5 lives, new issues and new subjects of political thought and action must fre- quently present themselves to the test of Democratic judgment. The only sincere way for our party to deal with these Is. first to discover their character and their tendencies for good or evil. and thereupon to treat them in such manner as will re- cognize constitutional restrictions and the necessity of safe conservatism, while at the same time we keep in sight as our unfailing guide and the supreme object of our political endeavor conscientious regard for the best and highest interest of the people of the land without favorit- ism or unjust discriminations."
 Mir. Bryan in his letter said:
 "I trust that the banquet will inspire those present to initiate Jefferson in a fight for the application of Democratic principles of government without com promise with plutocracy or concessions to time servers and patronage seekers
 In his letter. written from Wolfert's Roost Senator Hill announced that "a united Democracy can win the great con- test in 1904 and rout the forces of plu- tocracy."
 Edward NJ. Shepard, referring to the national administration. spoke of Presi- dent Roosevelt practically as a firebrand who is teaching the Iation to desire war.

WILL APPEAL THE CASE.
James J. Hill Says the Papers are
 Being Prepared.

New York. April 14.-Many rumors were afioat today regarding the next steps to be taken by the Northern Securities Com pany. One was to the effect that tho merger would be abandoned. Another rumor was to the effect that steps were being taken to dissolve the Northern Be- curities Company and that the Great Northern would be managed in some way as an independent organization. Of this rumor President James J. Hill said: story. There is no intention on the part of the Northern Securities people to dis solve the company. On the contrary, we are preparing our appeal papers,"
 4 Wall Street news bureau this after noon, in connection with the reports that an appeal would not be filed, quotes an informant named as a conservative au- thority" as follows:
 Counsel concerned with the Northern Securities Company have completed con sideration of three alternative plans which were possibly drawn up and ex- tensively considered long before the pres ent decision. and these counsel. together with some of the largest bankers inter ested in the enterprise. will proceed to Washington to lay their case before At torney General Knox and arrange if pos sible with him a status for the securities involved which will entirely conform to the law.
 There is reason to think that the pos- sibility of such an arrangement has been already strongly hinted at from Washing ton."

HARD WORK NECESSARY
CRAYFTsH HOLE THREATENED
 WATERLOO LEvEE.
First Serious Scare the Ponchartraiu District Has Had During the Present High Water-Still
 Busy at Hymelia

New Orleans. April 1A-Prompt and ef- fective work today arrested the threaten ed destruction of Waterloo Levee, about 70 miles above the city on the east bank of the river A crayflsh hole had devel- oped near It's base and widened to a d. ameter of IS to 20 inches. For Q time there was much apprehension that the levee. softened by the length of the time the water has stood against it, would go. but timely alarm was given. President Leake. of the Levee Board; State En- gineer Lewis and the planters with men and material hurried to the scene and after day of hard work runround was completed and the source of the trouble made reasonably secure. Work of brac- ing the levee will continue through the night. This was the first serious scare the Pontchartrain district has had during the present season of high water A break at waterlo or in that vicinity would inundate a vast area of cotton sugar and truck farming land, put the Mississippi Valley Railroad out of business and damage the Illinois Central
 Considerable progress was made at Hymelia today in the construction of the new five hundred feet of cribbing to en- close the break in the old line Labor is less plentiful than is needed, but it is expected that the forces will be augment ed as the work proceeds. The reports today are to the effect that the new crib bing is holding, but the forces have not yet encountered the heavy current and the increased depth of water which they are certain to find in front of the break. The chances of closing the crevasse are considered only fair and for that reason members of the Levee Board today ad- dressed a communication to the Sewall Brothers. expressing a willingness to have them apply their proposed method concur rently with the work of the board, though without Interference with the latter.
 The government gauge here registered ie.S late in the day fall of tenth from the morning reading With falls at vicksburg, Red River Landing. Baton Rouge and Donaldsonville, the situation generally is considered to be improving The Weather Bureau is now predicting declines south of Vicksburg.
