A larfjc Item of the state expenditure In
New South Wales , says nn Australian 1ft
tcr , represents the annual cost , so far as
the government of that colony Is concerned
of education , science and art ; and It Is
notlrcahlc that , notwithstanding the stmngtl
of the democratic clement In the Colonla
legislative asscmhly , the Mate expenditure
for such purposes Is rarely , If over objected
to. The amounts expended during 1S9I were
as follows : Public Instruction , 075,009'
Svdncy Rrammar school , 2,300 ; Sydney uni
versity , 20.1V > S ! ninllated colleges , 1I3S

total cf 741,378.
In addition to n sum of 3.730 for works
In connection with the Sydney Technical
college and another of 2,009 for public
school buildings vvcie "voted from the loan
cjtlmates , the whole representing over 7fiO-
000 expended for purporcs connected with
the Intellrctujl advancement of the colony.
In proportion to the population and the
amount of public revenue , the state cxpcndl-
tuio In this direction In New South Wales
IH larger than In any other country ; but It
does not icprercnt the whole cost of the
various Institutions mentioned , ns several
receive extensive support from private
sources. Thus , the total cost ot the Sjd-
ney grammar school during 1891 was 9,011 ,
of which only 2.100 war defrayed by thu
state. In llko manner the annual cx-
pctidltuio of the Sydney university ex
ceeded the amount of state asslstacre by
12,911. Prom Ihh Itwill ho seen that the
liberality exercised by the state docs not
tend to discourage but rather to stimulate
private endeavor. There are In the colony
flffy-four mechanics-
178 schools ot art , -
stitutes and seven literary Institutes , each
of which IB entitled to a government sub-
oldy of 1 for every 2 raised by subscription
nnd of 1 for ovcry 1 raised for building
purpose- * .
In connection with each of these institu
tions Is n llbraiy for the usx ; of members ,
for the colonlpta are a. reading people ; not
only have the various townships and dis
tricts their own local papers , generally well
edited and maintaining a high moral tone ,
but Immense numbers of British and for
eign newspapers and magazines and other
publications .iro Imported weekly , and flnd
nn Immediate circulation. The works of
Urltlili authors are most largely In demand.
In Ihe Sydney free lllr.iry the Improved
Intellectual tartcs of the general community
Ife nro Illustrate 1 by the character of the works
lent to readers , the classification of which
during 1894 was follows : Miscellaneous
literature and collected ivorkp , 22,135 vol
umes ; prose works of fiction , 15,921 volumes ;
periodical nnd serial literature , 13,047 vol-
URIOB ; natural philosophy , science and the
arts , 9,371 volumes ; history , antiquities , etc. ,
8,485 volumes ; biography and correspondence ,
7,970 volumes ; miscellaneous , 7,655 volumes.
It will bo seen that , contrary to the rule In
many Orltli'li ' free libraries , works of fiction
li. ' formed less than one-flfth of the volumes
IS Issued , a fact In accordance with the ex
perience of previous years.
MILITAIIY DRILI * IN SCHOOL.
HcnxonH Wliy ( lie MOY eiiieiit Should
lie Ciiuoiirnurcil.
Senator Carter has Introduced a bill "to
establish a bureau of military education and
to promote the adoption of uniform drill
In the public schools of the several states
nnd territories. " This bill provides for the
establishment within the Wnr department
nt Wnshlngton , of n "bureau of military edu
cation , " It Is to be conducted by an officer
of the army , with such assistance from ofll-
ccrs and clejks of the department as maybe
"
bo necessary" for the prompt nnd efficient
execution of the act. The officer at the
head of the bii'eau Is to prepare a text book
of drill regulations , with the view of making
the drill taught In the public schools of the
country uniform nnd identical with that ob-
tnlnlng in the regular army. This text book
Is to be dlstilbuted "free of charge on the
written request of boards of education and
directors of the public schools , or on the re
quest of senators and representatives In con
gress , under such rules and regulations as
the secretary of war may approve. " The ex
penses of the bureau nro to be defrayed from
the contingent fund of the department. Com
menting on the measure , Harper's Weekly
says :
Wo have been asked by the superintend
ent of the phjslcal culture department of
the Woman's Christian Tcmperancs union to
petition congress against the passage of this
bill. Wo cannot consent to do this , and as
the request comes from a source so emi
nently respectable , from a body of earnest
women engaged In the noble work of promoting
meting temperance , wo deem It to bo bath
courteous and proper to state briefly some
of the reasons for our refusal.
In the first place , the bill does not Impose
military dtlll upon our public schools. The
question as to the adoption of drill as part
of the pcliool course Is left to the local school
authorities. The opposite proposition would
ho unconstitutional. This one recognizes the
fact that In many of our schools the pupils
nro now drilled , and Its author suggests ,
wisely we think , that wherever military ex
ercises > ure taught they shall bo those In
which the soldlerB of the regular army nro
Instructed. Certnlnly this Is well , for some
day , when these boys nre men , they mny be
callcel upon to defend their country , nnd then
It will bo Important that the drill they have
learned at school shall bo the drill of the
nriny.
Moreover , wo have no sympathy with the
opposition sometimes expressed to military
training. We do not bellovo that because n
man or a nation la prepared for self-defense
ho or It thereby becomes a bully. Thirty-
five years ago there was no citizen of the
north who would not have been glad If more
of our young men had been taught at school
the simple art of drill. Thousands of lives
nnd millions of treasure would have been
saved , nnd the war would have boon shorter.
Asldo from the practical aspect of the mat
ter , too , we bcllevo In manly physical cx-
erclso for thu youth ot the country. The
other day a distinguished clergyman spoke
of military drill , foot ball and other phys
ical sports ns brutalizing. There Is no truth
In this. Manly sports are humanizing. They
develop courage , truthfulness , self-reliance ,
self-constraint , respect for worthy antago
nists , fair play character , In short. On the
other hand , the soft muscles of the pale
neurotic youth too often foster the meanest
traits of the human mind. They Induce to
shiftiness , evasion , subterfuge and men
dacity. In nine cases out of ten It Is the
boy with n healthy body , a body that has
been exercised In contentions with his fcl-
low-boyu , who Is not cruel , nor a backbiter ,
tier a telltale , whose Impulse * are generous ,
and who Is best flttoJ to cope squarely and
hcpcstly with the world.
To the making of a good man military
drill contributes along with other athletic
pursuits. And among the traits especially
developed br It are the fine virtues of disci
pline , eelf-rcpressjon nnd courtesy ,

Innovation nt Detroit.
Detroit Is having n rnther unique move
ment In school circles. The assistant super
intendent , Mies Matilda Coflln , has made
some changes , based , according to her mind
upon n common sense Idea of meeting some
crjlng needs. Llko nil reformers , however
she Is Immediately opposed , The press
voices the opposition. She replies to the
press. She e-xphlns to the board , whose co
operation she < < cema to have gained , Tha
press explains and replies and after the man
ner of such thlncs the merry war ( of words ;
goes on. Miss Coffin's reforms seem to spring
from the conviction that the school Is toe
much an Institution separated from the vital
pulsating life of the rest of the world. There
Is still , so she seems to feel , too much ol
the musty scent of the cloister clinging to
Its garments. To obvlato this she would
stimulate Its sluggish veins by connecting
them Intimately vvllh that most vltnl of nil
modern world's nrtcrles the press. She
vvculd have a dally newspaper In every
school r ° om In the city , and furthermore
she would have the children read It.
Cla s work In current history , In geography
and In reading would bo based upon the
nmvspaper. She says "tho public school
and the press are striving for a common
end the education of the American public.
They should work hand In hand. "
Carrying this Idea Into practice , Miss Cof-
fln suggested to the teachers the feasibility
of discarding the arithmetics , which are es
pecially unsatisfactory , and making more
real problems for the use of the pupils. She
Is evidently with many other teachers , tired
of the "If n hen and a half lay an egg and n
half In a day and a halt" sort of problems ,
and has realized that most of th : failures In
arithmetic arise from the child's Inability
to picture In his mind n condition wholly
strange to him nnd objects utterly devoid of
Interest.
The best problems made by various
teachers wcit collected and printed In
"manuals" and these manuals vvero eventu
ally to take the place of the regular arith
metics. But these problems were not per-
Fcct In form and grammatical expression , &o
the opposers of the scheme had fresh ground
for parley.
In several cities the bulk of the reading
matter Is printed by n small school press.
In this way the : eadlng lessons are made
l > y the pupils nnd are never the same for
two separate classes. But In Miss Coflln's
plan tljo arithmetics ns well ns the readers

threshing machine ; paid fop the same with
their Joint and several notes , secured by a
chattel mortgage on the machine pur
chased ; Jointly took possession of and used
the mnchlne in threshing grain for others ,
will not support a llndlng that the thresh
ing machine was partnership property , nor
that a copartnership relation existed be
tween the farmers Such evidence war
rants rather the conclusion that the farm
ers were joint owners , or tenants In com
mon , of the machine.
2. In such case the machine company neg
lected to fl'e its mortgage , or a copy
thereof , in the county where the farmers
resldeel ; subsequently one of the farmers
mortgaged the machine to a bank to secure
a pre-existing debt which he owed It. The
bank had no knowledge of the mortgage of
the machine company : took possession of
the mnchlne under Its chattel mortgage and
the machine company replevined It. Held ,

to establish one of the exceptions lo the

Stall against Jones. Appeal from Sewnrd
county. Revei sed nnd illsmlsscd. Opinion
by Commissioner Irvine
While a preponderance of the evidence Is
sufficient to establish nn Issue In nny civil
action , nnd while this court will not in the
exorcise of Its appellate Jurisdiction welsh
conflicting evidence , still In order to sus
tain a finding for the plaintiff In nn action
to have a deed absolute in form declared
n mortgage , the evidence on behalf of
plaintiff when taken together nnd without
regnrd to the contradictory evidence should
prctent n state of facts convonnnt with rea
son nnd consistent In Its different parts.
2. The statute of limitations runs ng.alnst
a bill to elcclare u doeel nb0olutp In form
of a mortgage , In favor of n grantee In
posscs&lon , from the time such possession
becomes adverse to the grantor's title.
J. That grantee's posses loii Is adverse
may be inferred from the exercise bj him of
nets or ownership after payment of the
elebt.
4. In this state n deed nbsolutc In farm
pasbca the legal title , although Intended ns
security for a debt , nnd for most purirases
treated as a mortgage.
5 Therefore , where the grantee under
such n deed Is In possession the grantor's
equity of redemption may be defeated by a
parol settlement defeating his right to nn
accounting.

In an action upon nn Insurance policy one
defense being that the insurer had parted
with nil interest in the Insured property
before the policy wns Issued , the question
whcthei the Insured was at the time the
policy Issued the , , owner of the prop
erty was on conflicting evidence properly
submitted to the Jury , ( Rochester Loan
and Hanking Co. n hlrtst Liberty Ins. Co.

2. The policy wasjisucd on by Ihe Rank
of Commerce , n mortgagee of the premises.
It was issued to tlie qwner , J. and con-
talncel provisions whcreninder , a transfer of
the property or an assignment of the policy
without consent of ' the Insurer voided the
policy. Before the < lo8s J. had conveyed
the premises to H.i and .assigned . the policy
to him. The Insure/i pleaded this convey
ance nnd assignment without consent of the
insurer as a defense. Attnched to the pol
icy was the following : ' "L0cs , If any , under
this policy , payable > to the Bank of Com
merce or Its assigns , us Its mortgage in
terest may then appear. " In the body of
the policy was /allowing : "If , with the
consent of this company , nnd Interest under
this policy fchnll exist in favor of a mort
gagee , or of any person. Jor corporation hav

pended thereto. " Held ( A ) thnt these two
clauses should be construed together. ( B )
that the clause In the body of the policy
rendered conditions expressed In the policy
applicable to the Interest ol ft mortgagee
having rights thereunder only where there
wns written upon , attached or appended to
the policy some provision or condition ren
dering such conditions of the policy ap
plicable. nnd denning the manner of their
applicability. ( C ) that the elause attached
to the policy containing no such provlblon

NEW YORK , March 22.-Therc Is still
small sign or ntiythlnc lIUs life In Wall
street. The waiting policy Is the- policy of
all the men of consequence. In n few quar
ters there Is a show of effort by manipu
lators to Keep quotations going , but that soi t
of thing tempts no followers.
Commission offices nrc empty. Brokers are
oil crjlng hard times. Congress conies Infer
for wholesale condemnation The do-nothing
record In Washington doing nothing for
bunlness Interests awakens every wide-
avvoko business man to Indignation , and there
ate few who are hopeful enough to count on
any close-coming change tor the better In
tlila matter.
Political conventions nml factional maneu
vering are about all t'nal can be certnlnly de
pended , upon In the way of public events for
porno months to come , Including In that cate
gory the wars which congress and Sir. Cleve
land may be pleased , off and on , to declare
over night. Such performances are all
natural enough , of course , as political func
tions , but they are not at any time func
tions which much help business 01 give busl-
IISM men enthusiasm. Under such circum
stance1) It Is not strange tha1. the stock mar
ket lags and that the professional contingent
s wary.
wary.ALL
ALL , ACTIVITY IS SPASMODIC.
Tliio bear crowd has been actl\e. They
liave been persuaded that If they could give
cai tain stocks a vigorous thumping prices
\\onld bo ready to go down. What activity
we ha\e had In the market , though spasmodic
and far from concentrated , has besn tiaccable
o this raiding campaign , In which , however ,
thcic has been at no time an ) result to cn-
courage the raiders.
0utS'lda of the small plays made by ( he pro-
'caslonaU not a thing of Interest has appeared
n any trading whatever. Outsiders arc alto-
; ethei lacking. Wall street at a standbtlll
s the piesent situation.
In Sugai trust , Tobacco trust and one or
wo other stocks pools unfortunate enough
o bL loaded up arc able to command tome
nsldc support , and there arc risky gains In
imgress there. It Is the belief of a certain
contingent of speculators that they can
squeeze trust figures up considerably by
naklng use of bunko programs put Into
operation by the trusts themselves. The
game Is dingerous for the Insiders. It Is
loubly so for everybody else.
One of these mornings , when everything
ms sunshine speckled over It , there will be
T clap of olJ-fashloned financial thunder and
Tobacco trust Wall street gamblers will go
umbllng over one another In n rush to get
out of the way of the smashing processes
irontlon Tobacco trust not to single It out ;
t Is a type. It Is a conspicuous center of
mnk.o bu lness just now , but It docs not
tand alone.
If the tips which go round are worth hecd-
ng tobacco quotations will advance sharply
next week , but profits reached for In that
quarter are profits that are likely to have
lulck squels. Jt will be much more the
part of prudcnca to sell Tobacco trust on any
sharp advances that arc given to It than it
will be to buy In the hope of grabbing any
part of t'.int promised advance. The drop
may bea little while delayed , but when It
starts it will be a good de.il more natural
and much more lively than any pace that can
bo set in all this game of upward manipu
lations.
General business Improves , but Wall street
refuses to recognize this fact. It is the
fishlon to bet pretty blue In the Stock ex
change over the status of outside trade. The
banks help this suspicion along. They are
holding aloof from commercial paper. Only
stiff notes and extra security can command
discount accommodations. This to as much
however , a sequel , rattier than a premonitory
sign , that It cannot be. long lasting. If 1
does last tha effect must be soon shown In
an epidemic of trade failures. While con
gress plays cheap politics the businea ; world
is acutely threatened.
EXPORT BUSINESS IS IMPROVING.
Curative Influences are operating in many
ways. Our export business improves. Au
thorities not talking for speculative effect
are predicting we shall speedily bo shipping
much more abroad than at any time recently.
Gross railroad earnings are better , and not
gross earnings merely , but net. Industrial
opciators are waiting on congress. The iron
trade Is conspicuously laggard. But wo are
likely to find ourselves before long Just
where wo were a year ago with output and
stocks of Iron on hand Insufficient to meet
the demands of ordinary trade.
As It is with iron so It is with most of
our staples. We are having an era of econ
omy In every branch of American business
life. It Is an economy that Is abnormal. It
cannot be perpetual. Any change must be
a change on the side of betterment. The
first sign of that change will be an ample
sign of an old time revival In Wall street ,
for Wall street Is forever quickly responsive.
That revival will find Wall street with Its
bargain counter crowded. II , ALLAWAY.

( JATTt.i : The te'cdpts toelay were llRht ,
OB usual on a Satmdny , only fiS'i hcnel bclnff
reporlcel In , but nt the panic time larger
than the receipt at cither Chicago or 1
Kansas Cltv. The market as a vvhqlc was
In tnoio satisfactory conelltlon than jcilcr-
tliy.
In ailelltlon to the fresh iceclpK which
were niatle up principally of fat cattle ,
there were quite a sooel many holdovers
on Bale , so that the offerings were qulto
liberal foi a Saturday. The prices palil
for fut cattle vvcie no better than jcstor-
elay , but the buyers took hold better , and
the pem were vve-il ( . it-tired and In Rood
season. It was easier to sell cattle at the
pricetlnn } csle > rdny Umn 'he heavy
cattle , which vvero neglected vcsterday , eolil
todny. The most of the cuttle hero sole !
Inilele the range , J3 GQJ3 M
In the line of butchers' stoclc there vvero
not enough cattle hero to create much
enthusiasm among the bikers Only six
or seven lexiels of cows nnel heifers vvero
on Bile , and they brought about steady
prices. Common cannery were. If anything ,
n little weaker. Uverj thing changed hands
In good season.
Stackers nnd feeders were also In very
light supply , ami there vve-re not enough !
on sale to cut very much of n llgure In the
trade. The cattle on sale found buyers , nnel
nt nbout the s imo o'd price.
llOdS The receipts eif lisgs vvere > light , even
for n Snturdaj , onlj 2,2ti2 bc-lng on Rale , a fall
ing on * of 1,000 ns compircd v\lth the close of last
week The rnpld decline In the market during
tin past few ilnjH haa evidently had Its effect
upon the arrivals.
After n rapid fall In values covering the past
two dnjs the in irKct took a turn today and
madesomes little progress In the opposite direc
tion. The hog sold nbout 5c higher nnd the
mirket wan rciHomiblj active nt the advance.
Thei bulk of the > Knlen was nt J3 70fl3 76 , ns
against J2 G" Sf3 70 jostcrday. Everything vva
sold , nn c-irly clearance being effecteel.
The hog market of the past week has been

day the bulk of the hog3 Fold In the same notch ,
but them wns a slight falling off In values On
Thursday the. ilovvnvvniil movement ceimmcnced
In good earnest and was continued on Trlday.
The shrinkage In values for the two diys
iimounted to fully He Thedecline - curried the
mirket to the lowest point of the month to data
mil lower than It linn be n nny time since the
Inst of februaiy The advance of Saturday car
ried the- market back to a point where It was
