One way to got ahead of tho alleged world-wide powder trust would be for the nations of the earth to form a trust and agree not to burn any powder.

Nearly every evening one may see the tennis enthusiasts at. play on the court in tho park. Tho Christ mas and Now Year's games were well attended both by players and spoota tors. The local players believe in be ing "iusl'iiil in so'ison mid out of season." Among Hie more enthusias tic boys may be found, Flavio tiiieo. Vlele Fulton, Koy Tail, F.aiikie Abel and Lcuio Ulncklodgo while occasion- ullv tho dignified superintendent, of city schools take a hand. At such times the boys wateii tho masterly strokes and aim to make tho most of the lesion. We have only one fault to llud witli tills gamo and Unit is it seems to en courage tho use or slang. We believe that it ought not to bo permitted un less some older person is present for frequently the bystanders can hear such words as "deuce" and s motimcs til t word is pronounced so loud that ii can no easily heard by tho court house olllclals. We aro pleased to note that tho load ing educators aro holding the sumo position in regard to our public school as ourselves. Wo quote as follows: Dr. M. Hates Stephens, stato super intendent of put, lie instruction, sharp ly condemned in a public address the present system or public school studies witli particular reference to his own stale, but which coniptelieiul condi tions common throughout the country Dr. Stephens declares that the tlineof HO pur cent of the pupils is wasted by reason ir a cast iron scheme of studies framed iu the interest of 10 per cent. The curriculum of tho schools is de signed to preparoall tli- pupils for the high schools and the graduates of the high schools for college. If all the pupils went through all the grades and then went to college the scheme of in stn ctiou would be, presumably, fairly satisfactory. As a matter or fact. says tlio stato superintendent, "but 10 per cent of tlio pupils iu tlio schools evoi enter the high schools, and of these less than 7 per cent over graduate. Of the graduates only a .small percent ago go to college." The inteiest of the miu.y is thus siilio'dinated to that of a the few, whereas "inhere is to lie a bias," in making up the curriculum. "It should lie in I lie direction or the Jl' per cent who never go beyond tlio elo uii'litary grades.'' The requirements or tlio high schools should not, it i held in cU'ect. dominate the course of study iu the elementary grades. Tlio studies pursued in tlie grades attended by tho great majoiity should have moro exclusive reference-to the needs of the mijorily; they should embraoo suoh topics as will bo useful to thoi-o whoso entire education is obtained iu tho elementary grades, t'uplls, it is eoi tended, luivo equal rights, and it is unfair to siieiillco tho education of !)o per cent to the exigencies of 10 per cent of tho pupils, l'arouts who do not wish to prepaio their ehihlrou for oii'leg", it is siggested, should havo the option of schools better suited to their purposes. Tho cllort to adapt. Hie pupils to a symmetrical abstract scheme of education, instead of adapt ing tlio schenio on the pupils, has nat urally produced unsatisfactory results. "It is a doplorable fact," says Dr. Step lions, iu view of theso results, "that the high schools .iro feeders of tho co leges.)' Tlio high schools, It U do flared, should stand on their own bot tom and likowlso the olotuentary schools. The Uco. J.NI'l.AMMATOHV Kin:UJI.TISM COIIHD IN .1 DAVP.

I'iianki.is, Nmiti., Fob. is, '(X). I nolo your interest in tho proposed Itock Island lino from Lincoln to Al moin about which I wrote the Lincoln Commercial Club. I was glad to notice that one of your papers reprinted the article. One of tho present survey comes through six miles north of Rlv erton, the other one reaches the ropub llcau valley at Uiverton. It would pleaso mo very much in deed if tills road could bo persuaded to enter the valley at Red Cloud for it would fntlier connect up Franklin and Red Cloud. It would servo topor- petuato and increase the warm friend ship that lina no long existed between your city and our city. It would, re sult in your citicus coming oftonor to Franklin to our public occasions and of our people more frequently visiting your city and attending your public occasions. There aro also special fra ternal and lodgo reasons why I would llko to see more trains botweon Frank lin, Uiverton and Rod Cloud. Tho main thing wo lioro at, Franklti want is a direct line and quick tral service to Lincoln and Omaha. If we can by this lino also be moro closely connected with Rlverton and Red Cloud it suits us all ho better. Vou can count on me to aid you ovoiy way in iny power to help you got the Rock Island through your city. I have some plans 1 would be glad to submit to your workers at any time. Cordially yours, C llii.iiiir.Tit. Tho above letter is from Hie ener getic public spirited banker at Frank lin, lie shows the true spirit and is big cnou It to see that this entire locality must, be taken into consider ation if tho most permanent good bo accomplished. The proposed Rock Isl-ind route from Lincoln to Alincna .would mean a great dual to this strip of country be tween Red Cloud and Republican. It means a direct line for the Rock I land to the great sout invest it means thai tlio people bote would havo a direct line to Lincoln and Omaha. It would establish a healthy competition with tlio U iriington. It would in crease all our industrial activities and would ben lit not onlv tho merchant mid banker but the farmer and labor ing man. I!y all means let us got together and securo this railroad Mr. llildieth has said: "1 am in favor of a square opon light for these railroads.
