Tried and Found Wanting.

As matter Of fact, our school system
has been in existence long enough to have
been well tried. and we believe, we do not
over state the facts, when we say that il
has been found wanting. The whole sys-
tenn Of State and public support is based
on the expectation that such support is
justified because the result viii be an i'm
proved citizenship and higher develop
ment Of individual and social, and we
may say, physical life.
Certainly, we must admit that our pub
lie school system must have played some
part in the making Of the present genera
ton. II it has not, certainly IL is a COM
plete failure. II II has. what part has It
played, and has Il been beneficial to the

Her SKELETON
FOUND IN CAVE

ST. ALBANS, VT, March 24.-Hav-
ing been a mystery for more than
twenty years, the strange disappear
ance Of Mrs. Matilda Moss OF Benson,
Rutland county, was solved by the
finding Of her skeleton near the mouth
of a cave. The strange disappearance
Of the woman is remembered clearly
by her former townfolk, who say she
and her husband. John Moss, lived
happily for fifteen years, until a man
named Isaac Terrill came between
them.
MIR. and Mrs. Moss were at a coun-
try dance when they met Terrill. The
intruder's attentions 10 Mrs. Moss an
gered her husband ana there was a
fight, that resulted in the dance ending
abruptly. Two days after the fight
Mrs. Moss disappeared. Her husband
said she committed suicide by jumping
into the river but her body was mot
found. The authorities kept Moss under
surveillance for a time but no evidence
against him was obtained, and he left
the State.
George p. Norton and his son Frank
were out hunting to-day. They discov-
cred cave near Roots Pond. They
struck a match and peered into the
cave. Close TO the opening they saw
a human skeleton. and dragged It out.
BY the heap Of bones was a locket,
in which was a small picture Of Moss.
on one side OF the locket was inscrib-
ed Matilda Moss. 1887"

ICE SCARCE, PRICE
WILL BE HIGH

In 1890, when there was a big shortage
Of ice, ice during the summer sold at 50
cents a hundred pounds. The average re-
tail price Of ice is from 20 TO 50 cents a
hundred pounds. Restaurant keepers. hotel
men, saloon proprietors and others who
buy large quantities Of ice and who are
rather more interested in the ice question
than the ordinary person. are wondering
whether they will pay so cents this sum-
mer.
NReports from local ice men are not en-
couraging. The extraord narly mild winter
has restricted the supply of ice in this lati-
tude and ice this summer must come TO
Wilmington largely from the Pocono
mountains and Maine This, OF course
means additional expense to the big ice
dealers. and they declare that ice will
undoubtedly be higher this summer than
last The retail price will be governed by
the wholesale price, and unless the whole.
salers are magnanimous and keep the
price down as much as they can. the
house wife, the hotel man and the restau.
ranter win suffer.
AS a comparison between the ice cror
OF this year and that OF last year may be
mentioned the fact that the Consumers
Ice Company Of this city. which gets IFS
crop at Icedale, Pa, cut but fourth OF a
full crop this winter. A full crop is sO,OOl
tons Of ice and the company cut very
nearly this amount last year. The thickesi
ice frozen this winter was inches. lively,
inches makes the best ice.

Taft,s Tribute TO CLEVELAND.
go Record Herald.

CnlcdBO RECORD Herald.
President Taft delivered an address
on President Cleveland, Thursday that
must be regarded as a very significant
and important revelation Of his own
purposes and character. We have
heard a great deal lately of the Taft
smile and of the suavity of the Taft
manner. The President has been ex-
tolled as a pacihcator, and it has been
intimated that he was going to get
along pleasantly with every one. We
need not look now for a change in
his methods. but if there are persons
who believe that he is for peace at
any cost they should be undeceived.
He eulogized Cleveland for his sim
plicity, his honesty, his courage and
his sense of public duty. He went be-
yond generalities to discuss his rela-
tions with the Legislature and to de-
clare that we owe to him and his
courage in dealing with the United
States Senate the establishment of
useful precedents. He expressed the
opinion that as long as the legislative
branch has the power of the purse the
danger of executive usurpation is i'm
aginary, and that "the real danger
arises from the disposition of the legis.
lative branch TO assume that it has
the omnipotence of parliament and
may completely control the discretion
conferred upon the executive by the
Constitution"
He praised Cleveland for the stand
he took at the time of the Debs strike,
for his opposition to free silver and for
the positiveness and sincerity with
which he worked for tariff reform. He
praised him because he was not mere
vote catcher. and while he expressed
his belief in parties he indicated that
his own party had not been always
faultless and that a statesman should
at all times be true to his own deep
convictions. He said Cleveland
was a great statesman because he had
the utmost courage of his convictions,
clear perceptions and great plainness
of speech.

DROP THESE SUITS.

R EPORTS from Washington say that the
- libel suits of the government against the
owners of the New York World and the Indian
apolis News are to be dropped, although the new
Attorney-General refuses to confirm the report.
Perhaps he wants to get out of this Roosevelt
mess as gracefully as possible People have not
believed the stories these papers printed about
the Panama affair but il any persons were
libelled in them such persons had personal relief
in the courts. The government should not be
dragged into such suits The general belief is
that the suits of the government were brought
simply for the purpose of furnishing these news
paper owners.
One message from Washington says that even
some of the members Of the Roosevelt admins
tration think the editors have been punished
sufficiently by the indictments which were found
against them. Perhaps they have been. But
the chief concern is that the government by these
suits has sought to terrorize muzzle the press,
