THEY'RE TOO POORLY PAID.

Ah1I NE IOO FOORI1 PAID.
The fact that there is such scare
ity OF school teachers in the state
gives rise to the argument as to the
salaries paid to teachers, says the Lin
coin County Post. In most instances
the school teachers are the poorest
paid of all the servants of the pub
lie. Any other civil officer is paid
much more literally. The public
schools where character is developed
and determined. In the schools are
laid the foundations of citizenship
and there the lessons of patriotism
are taught. The schools are the
nurseries of freedom, of civil liberty
and of public welfare. An intellie-
emit writer says: When teachers are
poorly paid, subject to cratic and
mutable political control and dis.
turbed in their poise of mind by finan
clal necessities, due to poor com
pensation, their work is impressed by
these conditions and its defects are
stamped upon the future citizenship
of those in their care 1t is an unjust
view to take of their compensation
and work to say as is often said. that
they work only five days in the week.
we believe that in those five days
they do more important and more ex-
hausting work than any other public
servants do in ten days. Yet their
pay Is the poorest of all. At the
present scale OF wages the carpenter
or the brickmason makes more than
the principals Of many schools, and
the day iaborer IN the hay fields
makes as much as the average

THE CASE CLEARLY STATED.

1t does look as if Congress and the
courts were responsible for the consol-
idation of the railroads of the country
that is steadily going on. In much Of
the legislation affecting railroads Con-
gress has simply welded to public
clamor without noticing whether or
not what it was doing would bring
about condition of affairs less desira-
BILE than that already in existence.
In discussing his amendment to the
Antitrust bill Senator Foraker, in an
interview the other day. said;
If railroads that are in competition,
cannot make an agreement and MAIN
tain rates that are approved by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
conceded to be fair rates, as they can
not under the law as ii has been inter-
preted, then they are of necessity driv-
en- back to individuality of action, and
rebates and discrimination may again.
be the order of the day, as they were
previously
To avoid that condition, which is
ruinous to the railroads and to the
business community alike, the railroads
of the country, not being permitted to
make reasonable agreements, have been
driven to consolidation, and instead of
having three or four great trunk lines
we are rapidly reaching the point where
we will have only one consolidated rail-
road system.
The foregoing seems to be a plain
and fair statement of the case. The
laws, as interpreted by the courts,
mean practically that the roads must
be consolidated to save them from the
hands of receivers. AS matter of
fact, if they get into the hands of re-
ceivers they are pretty certain to be-
come parts of a great system. 1t does
look as if Congress ought to take hold
of the railroad situation and deal with
it in way that would be for the best
interests of the public and the share
holders without regard to the cIamor
of those who are influenced by selfish
motives.

Under the employers liability law
an English court has given damages
to the family of a workman who died
from an infection. causing malignant
pustule. contracted while engaged in
wool sorting. The bacilh from the
wool lodged in the eye of the work
man and caused the disease from
which he died. The lawyer Of the
employer contended that an occurrence
of this kind should be distinguished
from an accidental risk. The court
held there was nothing to show the
workman carried any disease with him
to work, and that the evidence showed
that he had contracted the disease
while at work. The judge said he
could see no distinction in principle be-
tween being hit In the eye by deadly
bacilli while at work and being hit by
spark from an anvil or the accidental
squirting of poison into the eye of the
workman. The case, it is said, will be
carried on appeal to the House of
Lords. Should the decision referred
to be sustained it would probably be
Of far reaching effect, since the scien-
lists tell us that there is no limit to
the number, range and possibilities for
evil of bacilli.

A nIr oE PnLIrICAL. HIsroRY.

The Congressional Committee that
is investigating the charges against
United States District Judge Swayne
having finished with the Pensacola
witnesses is now hearing what those
at Tallahassee have to say. OF course
the committee will give out nothing
until it is ready to make its report
that is, nothing as to what its report
will be. The important parts of the
evidence are given out as the investi-
cation progresses.
In connection with the investigation
the New York Commercial prints an
interesting bit of political history bear
ing upon the way in which the ap-
pointment Of Judge Swayne was
brought about
1t seems that Judge Settle, the
United States district judge for Flor
ida, was a refugee from the yellow
fever in 1888. He was a resident of
Jacksonville and the fever prevailed
there. He died in the mountains of
North Carolina. The Democrats were
extremely anxious that the vacancy
should be filed before the expiration
of Mr. CleveIands term. They had
no difficulty in fixing upon a candi-
date, and the name of John <. Hart
ridge was sent to the Senate. The
Republicans being in the majority in
that body the nomination was not acted
upon. President Harrison came in and
the Republicans of Florida at once
began to make efforts to capture the
plum for a Republican. There were
several aspirants for the position and
there was delay In reaching an agree
ment. While the factions were debat-
ing and trying to adjust their differ
ences Senator Platt of New York ar
rived in Jacksonville, on his way to
South Floridat and stopped at the
Windsor Hotel. Hamilton Disston was
there at the time and being large
investor in Florida took considerable
interest in the judgeship question. He
had been heard to mention the name
of a Pennsylvania man for the place,
a man named Swayne. The story goes
that a son of the proprietor of the
Windsor, Paul w. Orvis, was on
friendly terms with Senator Plat, and
on the occasion in question, had a
long talk with him on the Florida
judgeship question. 1t is claimed that
as the result of that talk President
Harrison sent the name of Charles
Swayne to the Senate for the vacant
Florida judgeship. When the name
was read out in the Senate there were
expressions Of surprise. No one in that
body or among the Florida Republi-
cans knew who Swayne was Never
theless his nomination was confirmed.
That was about fifteen years ago.
Since then the state has been divided
and Judge Swayne is the Judge of the
Pensacola district. He must be very
unsatisfactory judge or else the Flor
ida Legislature wouldn't have taken
the extraordinary step of asking for
his removal

Colorado has woman suffrage. The
women vote there on equal terms with
the men; and ii seems they are. or
were in recent instance, just as ready
to perpetrate frauds on the ballot as
ever men are. The Shafroth case
brought to light some instances of
sharp and fraudulent practices on the
part of woman politicians. Mr.. SHAFT
roth, 1t will be recalled, gave up his
seat in Congress the other day be-
cause his election, he found, had been
tainted by fraud. The testimony
showed that one woman, a pre-
cinct boss, had especially distinguished
herself by stuffing not less than 1875
bogus ballots into the box after de-
coying off the watchers of the opposi-
ton. In other instances disreputabie
women were brought to the polls in
carriages by women politicians and
voted in the names OF decent persons.
Taken altogether. the story is not a
pleasant one, nor can the equal rights
sisterhood find much in 1t to edify them
or upon which to base an argument for
universal suffrage.

Rev. DR.. Fillingham, the noted anti
ritualistic Episcopal minister of Eng
land, is in this country for the purpose
Of making war on the high church"
services. On the day of his arrival
in New York he made an attack on
ritualism generally, and on Bishop Pot
ter particularly. Speaking of Bishop
Potter, DR.. Fillingham said: Don't
talk of Bishop Potter to me!
Don't quote any of his views. What is
he? A mere drawing-room bishop-a So
cial sadducee, who only has ritual in
his church because he thinks the smart
set likes it, because it is fashionable l
shall write an open letter to Bishop
Potter, telling him just what think of
him and his idolatrous practices. Yes,
sir, idolatrous is the very word for it,
and my war cry will be IdoIatry!"
From the way the reverend gentleman
starts off it may be surmised that he
purposes to make a hot fight.
