HELD UP FOR DIVISION.

II win he remembered that John
Parr was paid by the government
100000 in connection with the expos
ure of tho sugar frauds in the custom
house at New York. He was New
York Custom House employee who un-
earihed the false weights through the
exposure Of which the Sugar Trust was
compelled TO make restitution Of up
wards Of S2,O00,OO0 to the government,
on account of undcrweicht on sugar
imported. whereby the customs duties
were defrauded TO an extent probably
far greater than the amount refunded.
4 sequel to that transaction is now
before the New York courts on suit
brought by Parr s lawyer, who claims
fee of $4,000 for his legal services

A MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY.

The mighty works OF man have sell

display as Was mado in The Solept on

royal standard was run up on his

The booming Of those guns made a
continual roar along frontage of SIX
miles. The royal yacht passed along
the line. being received by each ship
In turn with a royal salute. And this
was repeated ship after ship for the
six miles of that tremendous fighting
line.

The whole gorgeous spectacle was in
view both from the Isle of Wight aud
from the main English shore. The op-
portunity for seeing and hearing was
such as is seldom seen in display
like this, and could be nowhere else
seen as in The Solent.
The power and might of man for
destructive purposes were never so
graudly and so magni6ccntly coucen-
trated as IN that tremendous spectacle.

NOT PERTINENT TO THE CASE.

The St, Louis Globe Democrat, which

Canadian reciprocity agreement, uses
this illustration as an argument
against il:

But. AS we are not considering q
reciprocity agreement with France, and
as no reciprocity would be possible un.

country. it is impossible to see the apt
ness of the suggestion. The true com

CRITICISM OF THE SCHOOLS.

Criticisms upon, and pleas for I'M
provement In, our school system are
more abundant at this time than ever
before in the history Of the public
school system. Heretofore it has been
the fashion to approve nnrescrvedIy,
and if any one disapproved of anything
connected with the public schools, be
was held up TO censnre, If not to op-
probrum The contention has been
that nothing but good came from the
public schools. or Was connected with
them. and that nothing but evil could
como from any criticism cf them. And
vet we find today that criticism Of the
public schools is rampant. not only in
she best and highest educational cir
cles, but among men of practical ca
pacity whose business IT is to mingle
with tho people. and to sec the results
of our common school system. AS an
example Of the latter, we find the
statement that T., ID. Coburn, secretary
OF the Kansas Board Of Agriculture.
finds pretentious schools in his state
where everything under heaven is
taught but good manners, good English
and ability TO work with the hands. y
