A -WHISK'S ' cogitation will enable tbo board of education to fool tbo full force of public BoiUlinunt against placing tbo public schools In cliurgo of a man of doubtful competency and. questionable record. WHEN t\vo such distin uisbcd purists .nsUutler nnd Burrows fall out and give the inside.liislory of tbclr work in bo- lialf of tlio "oppressed , " the fate of un- sidultenitcd reform is enveloped in a inu/.o of doubt.

Instead of working1 Iho non-partisan dodge , they come out openly in search of olllce. A3IKUICAX real estate deals become insignificant , when compared with the deals going on in Africa. Ono liritish company baa secured control of seven hundred and fifty thousand square miles of territory , with an ocottti frontage of four hundred miles. IN view of tbo party's dospornto ef forts to defeat the admission of Wy oming , the democracy displnys an ab normal development of gall to claim the state. Tlio people of "Wyoming know their friends nnd will take advantage of - the election to administer a vigorous ro- Imko to the obstructionists. DHMOCIIATIC papers are painfully worried lest the legislation of congress rill wroelc the republican majority. It is passing strange that a party which trould derive benefit from such n dis- nstor should express alarm. If the ro- publlcam have liop.olos.sly wrecked themselves is It not proper eauso for democratic rejoicing- ? THE annual report of the secretary of the board of education presents in detail the financial operations of the public schools for the year ending July 14. The totnl receipts from all sources amounted to three hundred and seventy-two thou sand nine hundred and sovonty-olghtdol- lars ; expenses , throe hundred and forty- four thousand throe hundred and ninety- four dollars , leaving a balance on hand of twenty-eight thousand llvo hundred and eighty-four dollars. Tlio Horns of expenses show nwido Hold for reform ttml economy without In the slightest de gree impairing the usefulness of the schools. It behooves the new board to scrutinize the expenses of the past year nnd olTcetivcly close the leaks by lop ping oil the nrnnmentnl features and con fining expenses to nocosBarloa. clubs nad voters in every ward should move promptly In the matter of petitioning tlio city council for additional polling places. Under the charter u petition nlgnod by fifty or more voters Is necessary to enable the council to net on this important qims- tlon. Tlio law directs Hint when a ward contains more than four hundred legal voters mid n petition is presented for division , the mayor nnd council "shall by ordinance divide such ward into two or more election districts. " It will bo Boon that action must first bo bad by lifty or more voters in a ward. Peti tions should be circulated at once in ov * ry ward , so that the council can pro ceed to rodlstrict the city and furnish ample facilities for casting u full vote at the November election. ; i.vo ; SK.I The president has sent to the house o representatives the correspondence be tween the governments o ( the United Slates ami Great Lrltalu regarding the seal fisheries in Dohrlng Bon , which was called for by resolution of the house some two woolcs ago. Iho delay in transmitting tills Information has been ascribed by newspapers hoslllo to the ad ministration to a dlirorcnco o ( opinion botwcen the president and secretary of state , in con sequence of which the president had di rected that the correspondence bo with hold. It was stated that the attitude of the secretary of state in the controversy was not approved by tlio president , and that the latterwnaproparingtonnnonnco a change In the position of the govern- iiioiit on this subject which rendered In expedient u compliance at this time with the request of congress for in formation. Of course the submission of the corre spondence explodes the llction regarding a disagreement be tween the president and secretary of state and establishes the fact that there is complete agreement in the adminis tration regarding this question. In his letter to the president. Secretary IBInlno states that the correspondence is still in progress , and Us already volu minous character may bo understood from the fact that since August , 1SSI ) , less than a year , thirty separate papers have been exchanged , the hut having been written by the secretary of slate to the IMtish minister \Vashlngton as late us the nineteenth of the present month. The correspondence opened with a de mand from Lord Salisbury that the United States government should issue stringent orders to its naval otliccrs In IJohring sea for the prevention of a re currence of the scl/.urcs of British ves sels in thobo wntow , claiming- that assurances had been given by the preceding administration that paiid- ing a Holtlumonl of the contro versy there should bo no further interference with British vessels , it appears that If such assurance was given it was done so unnfllcially , nnd consequently quently the new administration wits under no obligation to respect it , nnd us a matter of fact no attention was paid lo it. Mr. Itlalno assured the British gov ernment that the president earnestly de sired to reach n satisfactory settlement , and believed that all points at Issue were capable of n prompt adjustment , but SH lo the vessels arrested it was held that they were engaged hi a pursuit in itself "contrary to good manners" that Is , to a proper re spect for the United Slates. The claim of the United Stales to jurisdiction over the waters of Bchving sea was insisted upon. In February last the British min ister at "Washington wrote that his gov ernment was willing to adopt the sug gestion that the tripartite negotiation suspended in London two years ago bo resumed in Washington. In May Lord Salisbury seat a reply to the arguments of Mr. Blnlno , and the correspondence to date closes with the rejoinder of Mr. Dlalne. There Is nothing in this correspond ence , on either side , olTonslvo in the fclighlost degree to the pride or dignity of cither country. The position of this government has beo-n firmly maintained without miy manifestation of nrroganco or presumption , but on the contrary , with repeated expressions of a desire fern n satisfactory settlement believed to bo attainable. Tbo British government has been no less firm in maintaining its position and equally courteous in pre senting its views. There is certainly nothing in the correspondence to sug gest any immediate danger to the peaco- lul relations of the two countries , nor is there anything to indicate that the dis cussion may not bo indefinitely pro longed. WILL T11K FAIR UK .t FA The general assembly of Illinois 1ms convened in extra session to consider the various legislative measures to bo proposcdjor the benefit of the world's Columbian exposition. The specific ob jects for which the session is called , nnd to which its dellbarations will bo con- lined , are the submission to the people of a proposition to amend the state constitution BO as to authorize the city ot Chicago to increase its bonded indebtedness - dobtednoss .to an extent not ex ceeding five-million dollars , the proceeds to bo used in aid of the exposition ; the passage of such legislation as may bo necessary for the use or occupancy of any public , ground , park or area for the location of the exposition ; and to vest the city of Chicago with the right , power and authority ol eminent domain to bo exercised for purposes In bohnlf of the exposition. It is not expected that there will bo any dilliculty in securing this noc- cssary legislation if the conflicting inter ests in Chlengo which have delayed preparations by their persistent warfare regarding a location can bo reconcil'cd and kept so. Tlio delay which the conflict over the question of location has caused to the work of preparation has not only boon most embarrassing to those who are charged with that duty , but has had other 111 effects. It 1ms created a wide spread apprehension that the fair is likely to fall far bqhlnd what it was intended to bo and that it may bo found necessary to extend for six months or a year beyond the date now llxcu the tlmo for opening. There has also boon produced a very general distrust of Chicago's honesty nnd patriot ism that may prove moro damaging to the interests o ( the exposition abroad than nt homo. The manifest greed and selfishness that have boon at the bottom of Iho prolonged fight regarding a loca tion naturally suggested that the great enterprise intended to commemorate the discovery of the continent , was regarded by Chlcagoans simply as a scheme of local aggrandizement , out of which each one would bo justified in grabbing all ho could got , while the apparent fact that corrupt Influences were already nt work with thonuthorltlosnoccssarlly produced distrust throughout the country. Un questionably this unfortunate state of af fairs has led to n very general decline of interest in the exposition , which will bo restored slowly and only when Chicago bhall have demonstrated' her determin ation to fully and faithfully carry out every condition imposed lu con nection with the exposition , and every promlso which that city made to con gress niul tins country In asking for the great enterprise- . There is now favornblo promise thnt the preparations will bo pushed forward without further burious delay. The agreement reached regarding location disposes of the question that hns been the obstruction to progress thus far , and while ether matters will arise upon which disagreements are to bo expected , nothing Is to bo apprehended that Is llk'oly to cause so much controversy and trouble as this question has made. Won derful work will have to be done , how ever , lo make up for the valuable tlmo that has been lost. A FACTION IP.tff. The campaign raging In South Carolina lina is one of the most desperate and bitter over fought in that state. People who have witnessed or participated in stirring campaigns in the north can form but a faint conception o ( the con- lost in the Palmetto state from the mea gre dispatches sent out. A correspondent of the St. Louis 1k- pullic , who is posted on the situation , as serts that it is a death struggle between two giant factions of the democracy. Kven tbo turbulent days of 1870 pule into insignificance. Then it . was a white man against a negro. Now It Is brother ngainst brother , household against household. General Tillmun , the farmers' candi date for governor , has arrayed against him the power of the democratic ofllco- holdcrs. Though a democrat himself , ho has been guilty of rank "treason" by exposing the abuses nnd corruption of the state government , and has scoured a largo following by declaring his purposes to correct those abuses if elected. Uy championing the cause of the people against tlio democratic machine , ho has forced the fighting two months in ad vance of the mooting of the. , democratic slate 'convention , and the fury of the preliminary skirmishes foreshadows au ugly if not bloody battle before the close. ' The feeling displayed by the bosses against Tillnian Is so intense that ho is constantly surrounded by a body guard of stalwart supporters , who publicly announce that they are ready should the opposition bcirlti the shooting. Boasts arc empty , however. Tillmuu is hated with venom that will not stop short of assassination , and if ho lives through the campaign it will bo because the bosses are assured of his defeat in ad vance. The campaign gees to show that political liberty and life , when running counter to democratic ascendancy in the south , are digging their graves. A TOIIOXTO newspaper is advocating Canadian representation nt Washington. Tlio peculiar position of the Dominion government by reason of its dependence upon Grout IJritain withholds from it the right to outer diplomatic relations. While the United States can not have a regularly nccrcQUcd minister at the Do minion capital , tiie various consuls and counuorulal ngpnts located in all the larger Canadian cities enable the state department to keep informed in. regard lo any infringouionU of the rights of this country. The Canadians argue that Iho employment of a resident agent at Washington would strengthen rather than impair the lioiyl which unites thorn to England by enabling the Brit ish minister to look at Canadian in terests from the Canadian point of view. Whether this bo true or not , it is not to bo doubted that the employment of such n representative would bring about a hotter understanding between the Do minion and United States governments , loading eventually to a closer union of the two countries , commercially if not politically. ON the eve of harvest the farmers of North Dakota find themselves the vic tims of a confidence game perpetrated by the late lottery legislature. . Heretofore wheat growers were allowed to store grain in elevators , for llfteon days with out cost. The privilege was a beneficial ono , as it enabled farmers to sell at an advantage. The legislature concluded that the elevator men were getting rich too fast and imposed nn annual license of two and a half dollars on each ono thousand bushels capacity. This tax the elevator companies resented and have united in refusing to store grain , thus compelling the farmers to Boll at whatever price the companies choose to give. II the elevators persist , the con sequences will bo disastrous to the pro ducers , a majority of whom are heavily in debt and unable to boar additional burdens. Even if the tax Is unjust , us tbo elevator companies claim , retalia tion on the farmers will not help mat- tors. On the contrary , it will intensify opposition to elevator combines and provoke moro rigorous legislation in the future. THKHE appears tobe a very general desire that the congressional apportion ment shall bo made at the present ses sion , and unquestionably there are excel lent reasons why this should bo done. Regarding the now basis of representa tion , the opinion appears to bo very gen eral among members of congress that It should bo fixed at about ono hundred anJ ninety thousand , so as not to ma terially increase the memborshlp of the houso. If this is done states that are counting on a considerable addition to tholr congressional delegations will bo disappointed , as will also bo others which could not in any event hope to do moro than hold their own. Several states In the east and south will suffer a decrease , -which will bo made up by the increase in the states west of the Missis sippi river. Kvon with the ratio as high as one hundred and ninety thousand , Nebraska Is certain of six representa tives in the FiUy-soeond congress , pro vided the roapportlonment bo made at the present session.

The United States soldiers como from all countries , but about two-thirds of them are native Americans. From 18SO to 18SS , both inclusive , the army received G'1,435 ' recruits. Of thcno , M,805 were white ; -1,030 were colored ; 37GOi were natives ; mid 22,744 wore foreigners , says a writer la Harper's "Weekly. It Is tbo experience of intelligent officers who have served much with troop * that while the men of different nationalities do not dilTor much in their military ca pacity , certain general propositions are truo. The l-'nglishman is most likely to ho insubordinate. He has thu habit of protending' ' to have fallen from a BU- porior station. If ho Is n deserter from the British army ho is still worse. The Irishman must bo closely watched. He Is ono of tbo best t-oldloi'H when ho Is good , and ono of the worst wJion ho is bad. The Germans nnd Scandinavians are very trustworthy. The Now-Eiiglandor Is intelligent but opinionated to u degree that sometimes leads him to Insubordination. If ho Is able to control his sprightly indepen dence he is likely to become an excellent non-commissioned otllcor , nnd may oven secure ono of the fowcoininixsions that are bestowed upon men of the ran led. The southerner is moro likely to bo sub ordinate. The negro troops are proll- clout In drill , very docllo , exceedingly clean , and are good sold low. They never lose Uielr fondness for tbo display of the Forvlco. The northern Is belter than the southern negro. The native white soldier is the most restless and the most depressed by the monotony of the army post. _ French Expedition Into Africa. PAUIS , July Si.
