REASON FOR HER C0RDIALITY.
Young Ladys ELUSIVE Greeting More

A young Louisville man, who was
out west not long ago has returned,

not at his own expense, but which he
declares to be about one of the most
interesting experiences of even his
checkered career.

NO QUEEN OF THE MAY.

In the little French town Magny-
en-Vexin, which is picturesquely sit.
uated on the banks of the Aubette
there is a feeling of unusual unrest
because of peculiar strike. Fol
many years it has been one of the
customs in connection with the cele-
bration of the Feast of Roses to
crown one of the girls as queen
Rosiere-and the one on whom the
choice fell always received at the
hands of the mayor a gift Of 300
francs and the homage Of the par
Elephants in the feast. For the first
time there has been no aspirant for
the distinction this year. Up to the
last moment it was hoped that can
didate would step forth, but no me
came, and the browning feature had
to be abandoned. One of the condi-
tions under which the gift was made
was that the queen must marry with
in the year, and the inference is that
the strike was caused by the mac
tivity of Cupid, that none of the
maidens of the place saw any matri-
monial prospects ahead and there
fore could not accept the crown.

the interests of party politics,
and which illustrates the utter
disregard for common decency
of the methods of politicians,
meaning professional politicians,
was the publication recently by
The Hutchinson Gazette, of
paragraph concerning II. A.
McNeal and the Mail and Breeze.
The Gazette is a Democratic
paper and would perhaps rather
see a weaker man nominated for
Congress than McNeal, or fail
ing that have aathe foundation
laid for a flood of abuse during
the campaign. The particular
thing of which the Gazette COM
planned was that the Mail and
Breeze oflwhich McNeal is the
editor published advertisements
of swindling concerns, or at
least of such"as were designed
to defraud its readers. By i'm
plication it was made to appear
that McNeal was and is respon-
sible for the entire conduct tof
the Mail and Breeze. The read
ers or most of them would
know no better, but conclude
that the Mail and Breeze is con-
Quoted by it's editor, as to all
of its departments sincluding
the advertisements, just Jas the
ordinary country paper is.
The facts are that thes Mall
and Breeze is owned by Arthur
Capper as is the Capital and
some other papers which are Iall
printed on the Capital press.
The business being controlled by
Mr.. Capper through heads of de-
partments. The men lat the
heads of departments are re-
sponsible to Mr.. Capper for the
conduct of their departments.
Mr.. McNeal is responsible for
the editorial writings of 1.-THE
Mail and Breeze and for nothing
else, except possibly.sthe general
course of the paper. Under such
system Mr., McNeal hasl no
more to do with the advertise
ments than you or L; he does
not know what they are until he
sees them in the paper. The
Gazette if it did not know this
particular papers methods sidid
know that such is the manner
of running large papers.
That is the way of politicians
and party papers little and big.
The interest of eitnerI their
readers or the general public is
subordinated to their own
agrandisement. The Gazette
happens to be Democratic
paper but this method of playing
politics is not peculiar to Dem
ocratic papers, but is the COM
mon method of all.

its last issue about our state
ment of the appointment of Mr.
Stamper as post master. No"
il is possible that The News
was wrongly informed about the
things which certain Would-be
party bosses did. If so we only
say that we erred by reason OF
the information received. twas
current talk that these men had
boosted of what they had done
and of the things which their
action would bring to pass. We
believed they had done and SAID
the things accredited to them,
and so believe yet. The matter
is a closed incident. We let it
all pass as a part of history.
But the Globe depreciates the
article in The News as stirring
up strife. Now The News is
not party paper as is the Globe
Party harmony in either party
is no concern of The News.
Personally the writer is interest
ed in peace every where. So
much so that he has in times
past been willing to fight to have
peace. But as to stirring up
strife we deny the charge. The
News has, and will comment on
passing events of a public
nature, that such comments
please or the contrary any poll
tician will have nothing to do
with it's course.
But it seems to us that as a
party paper the Globe is taking
strange course to keep peace
in the family. There wasa large
majority of all the voters in this
county cast their ballots for
Hon. E. H. Madison for mem
Der of Congress. We suppose
that no one of the leaders or
possible candidates for Office IN
the Republican party will deny
that they voted for him. Now
when the Globe gives up its col
ums to writer to abuse Mr..
Madison, it does not seem just
the way to arrive at peace in the
Republican party. At least
most men will resent being
swatted even when in the wrong,
and much more when they be-
lieve themselves to be in the
right. Mr.. Madison declared
his principles before the primar-
les at which he was nominated,
he reiterated them during the
campaign, and received an over
whelming majority. Now to a
non-partisan paper that looks
much as though he had been only
fulfilling his prediction pledges.
1t also would seem to be just the
way to please his supporters. If
they are pleased, and we have
heard no other comment on his
action, except by politician and
Office holder. Then the article
in the Globe assulting Mr.. Madi-
son is going to stir up strife on
the part OF his friends, who will
certainly resent such an attack.
Mr.. Madison has stood square
1y for his people against repre-.
sentativesin Congressfrom other
states. That other men in Con.
gress laid down and surrender.
ed the rights of their constitu-
ents, thus making Mr.. Madisons
task the harder, is no reason
why he should give up the rights
of his constituents, who had en-.
trusted him with their interests,
Neither is it to his discredit
that he made the fight for his
people against odds, but the
contrary. 1t is to his credit that
he stood with Murdoch and Bris
tow for theright until others saw
that they were right and came
to them. 1t is further an indi

Mrs. Murray's efforts in the past Il
years in this city, and about that time
has been required for the installation
of manual training, which has long
been unquestioned as to its value, and
even now it lacks financial support
in the grammar departments. A peru
sal of the famous report of the first
secretary of the State Board of Edu-
cation of Massachusetts will reveal
educational principles for America
which were rejected by Bostonians 6O
years ago, and are just now finding
their way into the schools as expert
ments.
From such reviews of the develop
ment and efforts of phases of the ed
uCatiOnal program, the students come
to see themselves as workers in a
movement OF dignity and OF historic
value. Their work becomes in fact
professional and thus their behavior
of dress, of voice and of social con-
tact is altered and ordered from
within
The next aims of the Normal
School arises from the necessity for
securing to the children the students
NAV be called uDOn to teach max
imum results with minimum ex-
penditure of child thought and pre-
cious energy. The students must
come to know HOW THE CHILD
LEARNS. The students must come
to know WHAT THE CHILD
SHOULD BE TAUGHT. To secure
these ends the students are required
to study children, and to study hu-
man nature.

change in the head of the colored
schools, but it seems that no heed
has been taken to their appeal.
If the Board of Education IS at
a loss for a suitable successor to
Bruce, The Bee will suggest the
name of Supervising Principal
Walker; finer young man doesn t
exist. He has executive ability.
and then, again, he is gentleman.
If Bruce Is reappointed, In the
face of the protest of the people,
Congress will be asked to abolish
the office and place the colored
schools under white supervision.
At least, to abolish the office of
colored superintendent and give
the cOlOred schools white head,
but allow the other officers to re-
main as they are. The people will
be satisfied. If Mr.. Walker is not
satisfactory, there are others. The
people are not satisfied, and their
last resort will be to Congress.
Let the office be abolished.

MAINE DEMOCRATIC.

The result In Maine is an evi-
deEce of the displeasure of the
Republicans in the State against
the Administration. This ought
to convince the President that his
policy is not indorsed by the peo-
pie. The Bee said some time ago
that the appointment of Southern
Democrats to office and the dis
placement of colored Republi-
cans would not help the Republi-
can party in the least. The Dem
ocrats have displaced almost every
colored Republican in the South.
The President was endeavoring to
help his party and curb Demo
cratic wrath. The Maine Demo
cratic victory is an evidence of
The Bees prediction some time
ago. The party leaders ought to
advise the President and tell him
that he is wrong. If Maine has
gone Democratic,-a "died-in-the
wool" Republican State,-what
are we to expect in November?
The Maine election is an indica-
ton as to the complexion of the
next Congress. The country is
angry.
