The Famous Kentucky Associa.
ton.

The famous Lexington Race Track,
the oldest and most historic course in
America, was recently purchased by
an organization of prominent thorough
bred breeders and business men of Cen
trail Kentucky who have re-Organized
the Kentucky Association. Under its
direction and auspices a spring meet
ing will be given at Lexington for
seven days-April 9th to May 4th in
elusive. On account of the short time
allowed for preparation, 1T was not pos
sible to offer any stakes, but pre-
gramme book Of splendid purse events
has been arranged, and the Lexington
meeting will be the best held there in
a great many years, for this will be
the first time that a spring meeting
there will encounter no opposition from
any other track in the Middle West.
The Lexington Race course is race
with traditions. 1t has played big
part in the history of the thoroughbred
horse in America. There occurred the
famous match race between Ten Brock
and Aristides, and there many other
famous stars of the turf, in years past,
have received their preparation for the
victorious campaigns, and have canned
the laurels which make their names,
even to this Gay, almost household
word. Racing will be revived at Lex
ington on more pretentious scale than
ever, and it viii be characterized by
the same high toned management, the
same sportsman-like endeavor to bring
about great contests. that has ever
been characteristic of the Kentucky
Association and the men in control of
it.
The various railroads leading into
Lexington have offered special rate
Of one and one-third fare for the round
trip during the week of April 9th to
May 4th, good until May 9Th.

DECORATIONS AND EDUCATIoy.

The movement for the mural decoration of all
the public school buildings OF this city has
doubtless much 10 commend ii. School build
ings and all public buildings should be made
attractive in appearance. Simple ministry to
the pleasure of the eye IL by no means an
unworthy thing. But there IS more than that
| in the judiciOus adornment of schoolhouses
Decorations can undoubtedly be made to have
a distinct and by means small educational
value, as well as an elevating influence upon
taste and manners.
At the same time II must be borne In mind
that the fundamental and essential purpose OF
the common schools is not TO display the beau
uful, but 10 teach the practical First of ALL
indeed the duty is TO provide room and In
structOn for all children of school age and
that is duty which this city does not now
perform and has not for many years satsfac-
torily performed. There would be reason for
challenging the prOpriety OF spending even the
smallest sum on mere decoration until room
and facilities for instruction had been amply
| provided. The architectural splendors Of some
! OF our new schoolhouses a source of pride
and pleasure, no doubt and are highly credit
able 10 the city. But there are those who are
not mere cranks and carpers who would tnke
| greater pride In the fact that there was ample
school room, even IL In palmer buildings for
every child Ia the city
IL would be pleasant and In a measure profit
| able to have every schoolroom in the city
| richly adorned with works Of art especially
| with those which would have an educational
! influence and be a source OF patriotic inspIra
| ton But that, after ALL is not the first thing
TO be sought In the last few years there has
at times been painful cheeseparing in the ap-
! portionment Of educational funds So that school
| principals and teachers have actually been com
| PEELED to provide stationery and other sun-
plies at their own private cost or have the
schools go without the very necessities of edu-
cational work. Certainly that state of affairs
should not be permitted to continue 1t NAV
be said, OF course, that the city ought TO be
able and is able to provide ample means for
all these things and for artistic decorations
| too. Perhaps so. But 1t will be sound pollcv Ia
insist upon the providing of the essentials OF
practical instruction first

memory.
1t would seem to be competent and appfo-
pirate for the federal and state governments
both TO take action in the matter. The desired
end could probably be attained by the establish
nent of brief 'clOse season" on shad rivers in
alternate years Thus if in one year shad fish
ing were prohibited for at least half of the
spawning season on the Kennebec the Hudson
and the Susquehanna. and the next year on the
Penobscot. the Connecticut, the Delaware and
the Potomac. no real hardship would be imposed
upon the fisherman. no marked scarcity of shad
would be caused in, the market, and yet sufii-
cient opportunity would he afforded for the re-
Punishment of the schools of fish In addition
there should certainly be a stop put to the poi

ENFORCING LABOR ARRLTRATLON

The industrial arbitration law of New Zea-
land has been watched by the world as one Of
the most interesting experiments in the adtudi-
cation of disputes between labor and capital
1T may still be too soon to pass final Judgment
on Its beneficence and it may be that opinions
concerning its general effect thus far upon trad.
and industry differ widely. But one point on
which there was at first much doubt appeors
according TO the High Commissioner for New
Zealand In London, to be pretty well settled
That is, the practicaDility OF enforcing the pro
visions OF the law upon worklngmen as we'll
as upon their employers Under the law dis
putes as TO wages, etc, which cannot be set
tied by direct negotiation are required to be
submitted to court of arbitration the DEGREES
OF which are binding on both parties-that Is TO
say, on all who have registered for the purpose
of being subject to the act. 1t was recognized
that 1t would be easy 10 enforce obedience upon
capitalists and employers but it was widely
supposed that ii would be difficult, if not impos-
sble, to do so upon workngmen. Thus if men
demanded higher wages and the court refused to
grant them, they might go on strike and it would
be impossible for the court 10 compel them TO
resume work at the old rates
As a matter Of fact however, that very thing
which was regarded as impossible has proved
TO be not only possible, but easy. A little time
ago. the High Commissioner relates about two
hundred butchers in the slaughter houses Mt
Canterbury demanded an increase of five shiIl-
ings for each 100 sheep slaughtered The ar
bitration court decided that they should have
an increase of only three shllings. This award
the employers accepted. The men rejected il
and went strike. Thereupon the court fined
them e. apiece for striking in contempt of
court. They refused to pay the fines or TO re-
sumo work Then the court issued warrants
for their arrest and Imprisonment for Il CON
siderable time unless they at once complied
with It's decree. That brought them to terms
They went back to work at the three shllings
advance decreed by the court and paid their
fines. the court generously permitting some of
them TO do so in instruments of Ell week
In several other places men who attempted to
evade the DEGREES of the court were brought
to book in the same summary fashion ''In this
way concludes the High Commissioner the
act was indicated.
Whether such system will prove perma-
nently satisfactory remains to be determined
by experience We can imagine some men re-
garding it little better than slavery. To fine
a man heavily for voluntarily quitting work and
to compel him under pain Of Imprisonment to
work Tor lower wages than b wants mar seem

SHAD.

The informing and suggestive article from orr
Washington bureau which we print elsewhere In
to-day's Tribune concerning the actual depletiop
and prospective exhaustion of the shad fisheries
affords another illustration of that reckless
wastefulness on which we have Frequently
commented In connection with other natural re-
sources of this continent
The astounding fecundity Of the shad has long
been proverbial. IL every female sbad were
permitted to deposit her eggs, and the eggs were
all Matched and the young shad all grew to
maturity, the waters would doubtless soon be
overpopulated. Natural circumstances how
ever, even In the most favorable conditions nre-
vent more than small proportion of the eggs
from producing fish, and II is within the mower
OF men TO 30 lessen that proportion az 70
threaten that most prolific creature with actual
determination The shad must ascend rivers
to deposit the eggs in fresh water If. then. orr
fishermen capture the fish as they ascend or
before they ascend the streams, and specially
capture the gravid females before they have de-
posted their eggs, they prevent reproduction
and effect determination.
The great popularity Of shad roe as an article
Of food has led to an aggravaton of the evil.
The ruthless grab-all operations Of the men
baden fishermen have greatly increased the
slaughter. The pollution Of rivers with sewage,
and specially with the poisonous waste of fac
tories has largely reQellsd from thsir old spavn-
