A RELIC OF CHIVALRY.

AS was to be expected, the United
Confederate Veterans have gotten very
tired of the sponsor and maid-of- honor
business and decided to abolish them.
1t is wonder that the system lasted so
long, for 1t must have produced no end
of rivalry and bitter jealousy among the
young ladies who received these honors,
and the dissensions thereby resulting
must have torn the Camps up perpet-
uaily. The maid-of-honor and sponsor
business was the result of the old chiv-
airy idea cultivated in the South, and
had its origin in much reading of Wal
ter SCOTS novels and the jousts which
were fought in advocacy Of the charms
of different ladies. In tho olden times,
however. the man who thought his was
the prettfest girl in the community took
lance and rode out to punch some
other fellow who felt similarly n to
HIS girl. The thing. therefore. came r.

American priests sent to those countries

THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL CASE.

Despite the President, the facts in
the California school trouble seem to
be all with the State authorities. The
California school system Is a domestic
matter for the State of California, with
which the United States has absolutely
nothing to do. There Is no constitu-
tional clause or statute that affects IL.
California can educate or not educate
all her people in any way that she
pleases, without the Government hav.
ing any right to interfere. It does not
the constitutional clause making trea.
ties the supreme law of the land. be.
cause public education. being an abso-
luteiy domestic matter. can have no
international aspect. II California does
not choose to admit any class of citizens
ed States has nothing to do with 1t. Sha
could make a law providing that only
red-headed children should be educat.
ed. and the Government would be pow
erless to interfere. II the Government
wants the Japanese educated. and Gale
fornia is not willing to admit them to
her schools or has not sufficient school
accommodations for them, as seems to
be the case, the United States should
establish schools Of its own for the ex.
press purpose. There Is a grave Ques-
tion of policy at all events, whether it
is wise to mingle two wholly dissimilar
races in the school room. and certainly
it Is not wise to bring into the school
room great numbers of Asiatics, who
are aliens and expect to be aliens, and
consequently must be animated by en-.
tirely different ideas, principles and
ideals from those which we seek to i'm
bue in our own children. The object
Of our schools is to educate all our chill
dren up to be American citizens. There
would be all the time a strong disso-
nance, probably a fatal one. in having
large portion Of any school of chill
dren who do not intend to become
American citizens: do not intend to i'm
bibe purely American ideas and whose
whole trend Of thought Is In measure
hostile to our scheme Of life and pa
triotism.

The Missouri Democrats have carried
gerrymandering to the rank Of a
science, so that usually while the Re-
publicans poll from As per cent to 4s
per cent of the total vote they get not
more than three or four Of the 16 Rep
resentatives This year the Democrats
polled 291,475 votes and the Republi-
cans 2S5 5,042, which gave the Democrats
but little over one per cent of the total
vote Yet by means of the gerrymander
the Democrats elected IL Congressman
to four for the Republicans. In the
10th District there are more than 100,-
600 Republicans in excess of the Repre-
sentative limit, these being crowded in
there to keep them from voting In
Democratic districts. Consequently the
voters in that district are given but
one-half of the representation to which
they are entitled The 14th District is
a shoestring across the southern edge
of the State, and the Eighth District
jumps the Missouri River to get in a
County with 5000 Democratic majority.

MERELY PAYMENT OF A DEBT.


The passage of the Service Pension
bill by Congress would be merely a par
tial payment of long-standing debt OF
moro sacredness of obligation than any
other which the Government has fully
and frankly recognized. Every man
who went into the Army. no
matter in what capacity, made
great pecuniary sacrifices to do
so. II he were an able-bodied young
man, as nearly all of the volunteers
we're, he could have secured at home
four or five times as much as the Gov
ernment paid him, including bounties.
clothing, rations. quarters, etc. II ne
enlisted as private at S13 a month in
1SS1-2-3, or at SIC month in 1864.
he received altogether from the Gov
ernment not over $50 a month, where
he could have gotten at home from 50
Sc a day as 4 mechanic. The aggregate
of these contributions in wages was, as
we have repeatedly pointed out, much
more than the bondholders actually lent
the Government. The Government has
paid off its bcndholders, principal and
interest. at least four times what they
originally lent. Where they lent in
greenback dollars, worth sometimes as
little as 38 cents on the dollar, they
have been repaid in gold dollars of par
value. For many years it paid them
from 10 to II per cent interest upon the
gold value of their loans. When this
sum is put alongside the total amour:
that has been paid for pensions it more
than doubles it. The payment of s12 q
month to every man who served the
Government at least 80 days and was
honOrably discharged. with like
amount to his widow, would have to be
continued for fully a half century. il
not more, in order to bring the total
amount paid for pensions up to that
which was paid out to the bondholders
to the Nations salvation. To pay every
veteran s12 a month from now until lie
dies might possibly partially reimburse
him for the sacrifices that he made TO
enlist, but 1t would be small repay
ment to the great body of soldiers who
formed the Union army from 1851 to
1866. 1t will be a meager return FOR
the more than $2.000,000,000 which
they gave of the wages of their daily
toll for the privilege of serving the
Government. This purely financial view
cannot be too strongly imprest upon
the minds of the community and oi
Congress We are disposed to talk OF
the war mainly with reference to the
patriotism and courage which it in.
volved. This is entirely proper, but
there are times when We should look g
little at other considerations. The period
Of the war was an exceedingly profit.
able one for the manufacturers, mer.
chants, business men and farmers. Thej

10000 Sicilian criminals. who are band

are many thousand Italians. who are
generally law-abiding and thrifty, and

are entered the names OF all Italians
who have money. and when 1t intends
