The Preacher Blashes.

A bachelor preacher who oc-
cupied the pulpit OF one of the
neighboriug city churches, made
a good impression on some part
of the audience when the lights
suddenly failed. AS soon as he
could realize the situation, he
asked that someone would start
a song. The request was scarce
ly made when one of the young
ladies near the preacher stood.

Educational Notes.

Nearly all county boards OF
education have selected0books
for the schools under their re.
spectlve Jurisdictions and have.
in the main done we'll. Per-
haps not more than one-third of
the books have been changed
and they have been those that
needed changing most.
AS a result of changes in text
books recently made by the
county boards of education, it Is
expected that there will be
great Improvement in the
teaching of grammar and his
tory in the schools. The peo-
pie will also welcome the nat
ural slant in penmanship as a
substitute for the vertical.
State Supt. Darlington is dis
tributing to the counties copies
of the school laws passed by
the recent Legislature. He is
also sending out Synopsis OF
the Compulsory Attendance
Law" to be posted i'll each dis
trict ter days before schools
opens. District clerks may ex.
pect the county school commits
sioner to supply them with thes"
required notices.
The State Library Board re-
Gently at a meeting in Kansas
City, revised the list of library
books, from which school dis
tricts must select their books
Every rural school district. un-
der the requirements of law,
speed each year from FIVE TO
twenty dollars for library and
supplementary books. Tne dis
trict can not make a better in
vestmeut. The State Superin-
tendent has supplied county
superintendent and commits
sioners with copies of the re-
vised list.
Six years ago, the State
Course was first issued. 1t was
arranged to suit the adopted
books. A change in books made
it necessary to revise 1t. This
has been done by the State
Superintendent assisted by
many of the best teachers of |
the State. 1t is fuller and more
definite in its suggestions. II
is not based on any special
textbooks, but may be used
successfully with any good
texts. 1t is sent touevery coun-
ty commissioners in sufficient
quantities to supply every teach
er and every district clerk with
a copy.
Attorney General Hadley has
given two opinions on the text
book situation. In his opinion
to Supt. Darlington he says
that county boards of educa.
ton have right to select text.
books for schools under their
respective jurisdictions. In an
opinion to the Prosecuting At.
toruey of Wright County. he
says that county boards have
no authority of law to enter
into contracts, etc. These
opinions are not Inconsistent in
the least. County boards of
education should select books
and arrange with publishers
and dealers that they be on sale
at lowest prices. For the sake
of economy and uniformity,
school boards and teachers
should use in their schools thu
books selected and recommend
l.. ed by the county board.

exaggerated. By giving opportunity for healthful work in the open air to the most deserving convicts, and by a careful selection, the men not hardened in crime could be kept separated from the habitual criminals. A cumulative system of wages" to count as good time" could be adopted, thus enabling the docile, industrious and ambitious prisoners to shorten their terms of inn prisonment. The reformatory inhu- ences of such a plan would be far reaching.
 The peculiar climatic conditions in Arizona make this an ideal region wherein to adopt the plan of road mak- ing by convicts. They could work every day in the year without discomfort, and the wide reaches of waterIess des- ert would reduce the chances of escape to a minimum. The expense for guards would need to be little more than that involved at present.

With the growth of humanitarian sentiment capital punishment has been abolished for nearly all onenses. In some of our states and in some coun- tries it has been altogether abolished. Perhaps it will be universally abolish ed, but the time of this will not be hastened by cIergymen who can not distinguish between an execution by the state and private assassination. The preacher in question is quite un- warranted in saying that the death penalty has no deterrent influence. No punishments have the deterrent in fluence they might be expected to have, or crime would have been abolished. But the two civilized countries in which murder is far more common than in any other are the United States and Russia. Here executions are very rare, and in Russia there is no death penalty except after trials by military courts. The comparisons between murders and executions presented by Judge Thomas of Alabama in recent address showed that the countries with the lowest ratios of murders are those where murderers are most certain to be executed, and among our states the ratio of murder to population is high est where the death penalty has been abolished or is least often inflicted.
 We may outgrow hanging for mur- der, as we have outgrown it for lar ceny, but stigmatizing executions as judicial assassinations will not eXpe- dite the process.

Capital Punishment.

God let the first murderer live!" ex- claimed a Philadelphia pulpit orator last Sunday in an argument against hanging. Cain not only lived. but he was permitted to range at liberty. The clerical opponent of capital punish ment refuses to follow the divine ex- ample so far; he would imprison the murderer for life with no possibility of pardon. But if he condemn capital punishment because he finds no sane tion of it in the New Testament he ought also to condemn imprisonment; can he find sanction for that?

"Old Pete of Trenton ave. and Dau- phin St. Philadelphia. is acknowledged to be the oldest policemen in active duty in the United States.
 He is a familiar figure in the north east section of the Quaker city, his beat being in the heart of the business sec ton of Kensington Everybody is ac- quaiuted with him, and the fathers of sons whom he goodnaturedly scatters when they play mischieVOus praniIs de clare that he looks scarcely older than he did when he chased them a quarter of a century ago.
 MT. Yetter says his wiriness and TO- bust health are due to the judicious use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and plenty of out door exercise.
 When "Old Pete" became a police man on September ,, 1874, times in the city were far more strenuous than they are now. Then there were several hard gangs of young men who rejoiced in such expectations as the Snapper Gang" the "Fishtowners. "Pulveriz- CTS" But it was no joke for the police man, for in those days there were no patrol wagons, and the men were com pelled to walk their prisoners to the lookup, in momentary danger of being set upon by a prisoners friend.
