It Is remarkable what methods aru being
employed by some of the cly firms tn ord
er to make a "boom" In trade. One firm
on Chestnut street lu Philadelphia dealing
in Gents Furnishing goods, has been ad'
vertlslng goods as sold at Receiver's sale,
at 35c on the dollar the entire stock to bo
sold as quickly as possible for benefit of
creditors. Upon Inspection it was found
that this Arm was offering some heavy
weight goods at these prices whllo the en
tiro stock was held at prices much hlgliei
than sold elsewhere. The mode of adver
tising was a ruse to catch the trade. We
would cautlou our readers against being
deceived by such people ; and would add
that general merchandise can bo purchased
of our home merchants at just as close
bargain as can be made In any city. Pat

Tho Bloomsburg correspondent of tho

zens:
William Ilabb, ono of the most active
and enterprising citizens ot Bloomsburg,
after an absence ot several years from the
board of Town Council, was again returned
to that body oi city fathers at tho late elec
tion by a handsomo vote of his fellow citi
zens. All taxpayers and property holders
would feel satisfied when thoy could read
over the list ot councllmen and read the
namo of Rabb among the number. Tho
other morning wo overheat d a conversa
tion going on between two democrats on
Main Street; tho one was strongly urging
the name of Mr. Ribb tor County commis
sioner. It struck us favorably.' lie is
well qualified, never has been an office
seeker, Is a heavy taxpayer, and always
has been identified with tho labor and
Industrial Interests ot tho town and county.

This week A. C. Yates & Co. celebrate
the Fourteenth Anniversary of the estab
lishment of their prosperous business In
the Ledger Building, Sixth and Chestnut
streets, Philadelphia. As is customary on
these occasions the Ledger Building is
gaily decorated, and the firm receives its
friends and visitors with a royal welcome.
Strolling through the spacious building
one sees five floors filled with clothing for
Men, Boys and Children; and gets an idea
ot tho immense business dono by this pop
ular house. Ao entire floor of the Ledger
Building is required for the Boys' and
Child rens' Department, which Is tho larg
est and most complete In Philadelphia.
The great and thriving business ot this
firm is tho result ot offering Its customer8
reliable clothing nt tho lowest prices. All
the clothing they sell Is manufactured in
tbclr own workshops ni.d wherever tho
name ot A. O. Yates & Co. U known, I'
stands tor good, honest clothing.
This season they display a superb as
ortracnt for Men, Boys and Children, and
one marvels at tho cheapness ot such neat,
tyltsh clothing.

INTERESTING FIGURES.
Tho School Directors of Columbia
county will meet In convention in Blooms
burg on Tuesday, May Oth, for the pur.
pose of electing a county Superintendent
ror the succeeding thrco years.
Iho present Incumbent. Mr. J. 8. Grimes.
is a candidato for re-election. As Is natu-
ral, a fair salary holng attached to tho no.
sltlon, thcrd Is an aspirant for it, and Mr.
urimcs meets with somo opposition. It Is
so weak, howover, as to hardly amount to
an opposition.
Tho arguments used against his re-elcc.
Hon Indicate most clearly there Is no lust
reason ror his defeat. There Is but onei
He has had it long enough. Givo some
body el so a chance (at the salary.)
As to this: It may well bo asked. Who
Is to bo tho Judge as to whether he has held
tho position long enough or not? Certain
ly not tho person who Is seeking tho place
for the nionny there Is In It. Most as?ur-
cdly not tho Individual who has nn ax to
grind and who thinks ho may suoscrvo his
own personal Interests by 6eeurlna the
election of this or that man. Neither
sliould It bo tho Irresponsible and unprinci
pled demagogue whoso personal predlu-
dices alone prompt him to cxeit his Intlu
ence to prevent tho election of a gentle
man, who, through nine years ot efficient
services has given such complete satisfac
tion that none, not even hla bitterest pcrso
nsl enemies, nor those who are most vigor,
ously opposed to him In tho present can.
vass, dare utter n word against his fitness
for the position. This question of fitness
has not entered the contest at all except
when it has been to speak words ot praise
for Mr. Grimes and his administration of
the school affairs of the county.
Tho late Dr. E. E. Htgbce, upon hear-
Ing the false report that the Department
of Public Instruction had endorsed the
opinion that when a Superintendent has
served for three successive terms ho should
be retired and a new man clcctod , said.
"This Department never mado ':sh a silly
announcement or declaration. Efficient
Superintendents should bo kept In office
unless more efficient ones aro to be had."
This would seem to Indicate, beyond
question, that In tho opinion ot the Stale
Department of Public Instruction, Mr.
Grimes has not held tho position ot County
Superintendent long enough.
Precedent Is a pretty safe criterion. A
brief;examination ot tho record buows:
That Dr. Wlckersham held the office of
Stato Superintendent of Public Instruction
from 1888 to 1831, four terms or sixteen
years.
Dr. Uigbcc served eight years and would
have served 12 years or more but for his
deatb.
That Mr. Seely has served twenty-four
as Superintendent of Adams county and is
ttill in office.
That Mr. Shaub of Lancaster, serv ed
over eleven years and declined a re-election
to become Principal of tho MUlersburg
Stato Normal School.
That Mr. Rodenhorn of Lebanon, served
15 years, up to the event of his recent
deatb.
That Mr. Knauss of Lehigh, has served
18 years, is still tn office and candidato for
re-election with every prospect of success.
That Mr. Weiss ot Schuylkill, has served
three terms, Is a candidate for re-election
and has no opposition,
That J. M. Caugblin ot Luzerne county,
has served four terms and is now a candi
dato for re-election.
That Mr. Woodruff, of Bucks county,
served four terms as Superintendent of
Bucks County and was strongly urged to
be a candidate for another term. That.pre.
vlous to this ho served nine years as
Superintendent of Chester county and de
clined a re-election, In a circular sent to
each Director six months betoro tho time
for the convention to inset. With somo
modification wo havn appropriated the
foregoing cart ot this article and adapted
It to our purposes because we believe It
meets the case at Ibsuc. Now to come
right homo. Chas. G. Barkley Esq., was
serving In bis third term when he was
elected Principal of tho Bloomsbug State
Normal School, and afterwards resigned
the latter to pursue his life work, tho law.
Wm. ll. Snyder, of Columbia county,
served three terms and would have asked
for Ihe fourth had it not been for the fact
that bo promised not to be a candidate for
re-election. Tho promise is evident from
the following letter:
Apr. 15, 1881.
Mr. Editor,
Dear Sir;
Being in receipt ot a number of letters
soliciting me to be a candidate tor re-elec
tion ot County Superintendent at the next
election, which I cannot conscientiously
be, having said three years ago that I
would not bo a candidato. I thank the f o
licltors for their kindness and hope they
will stand by my successor as they stood
by me In Ushs.lt of the public schools.
Yours respectfully.
Wm. U. Bntdeb.
Precedent would seem to Indicate that
Mr. Grimes has not held tho position ot
County Superintendent long enough.
Mr. Grimes has been an efficient Buperln
tendent. All .admit this. Tho one seekr
intj bis place must admit It. UU friends
must admit It. Tho period In the history
ot our public schools, slnco they have been
under bis supervision, is a period of un
usual growm ana advancement la every
department. ,
During Superintendent Grimes' admlnts,
tration ot school affairs, the County Inst!
tutcs have been a marked success and have
been recognized by all as a most potent
means of advancement. It has also been
frcaucntly remarked at these annual
gatherings that the geccral appearanco of
tho teacher has Improved, showing con
clusively that the selection and commis
sioning ot teachers has been not a matter
of figures ant) form, bnt a reality, reflect
ing credit on the careful and painstaking
ifforts of tho Superintendent. To show
tho progress of tho County Institute we
shall quote from Mr. Grimes' last year's re
port to tho Department of 'Publlo Instruc
tion. "The cntlro expenses, janitor, hall,
lecturers, Instructors, etc., of my piedcces,
sot's last lohtituto wero one-hundred and
seventy- eight dollars and fifty cents. The
receipts from the evening lectures of my
first Institute were sixty dollars and seven,
ty-five cents. Tho receipts of tho last Insti
tute wero ten hundred and twenty-eight
dollars and seventy cents.
Great interest has been manifested In
educational meetings ami tuey nave op,
conipllslied much good, not only In the
Improved methods presented, but In crcat
Ing more Interest and enthusiasm In edit,
catlonal work. The schools havi Improved
fully as much as the Institute,"
Nearly every Saturday from the first cf
December until the close of the schools lo
the rural districts, be li engaged la holding
well attended local Institutes.
It Is an appreciable fact that Mr. Grimes
attends the leading educational meetings
throughout tho slate, and thereby makes
himself familiar with the institute lecturers
and Instructors. Uonco bis ability to suit
the Intelligence of thoso that patronize tho
County Institute. Mr. Grimes has shown
marked ability and tact In securing tho co
operation of the teachers and In uniting
tho educational forces of the country to
further tho intorcsts of education. Bupor.
Intcndcndent Grimes Is an untiring worker
and as such has been recognized. Ho pos
sesses great skill In the way of uniting dis
cordant elements and securing united ef
fort upon tho part of all. Tho real power
or a good Superintendent Is not so much
In what he can do himself as In what he
can get others to do. BupL Grimes excels
In this direction.
Tho real scrvlco which tho Bupt. has
rendered our county does not show Itself In
an array of figures as shown In statistics,
nor can it bo (airly shown In the mero
statement of facts. He has carried with
him an Influence for good that has touched
tho lives of tho children; an honest en
dcavor to do right which has secured the
confidence of our people, elevated the
standard of educational works and made
teaching more honorable. He has touched
every educational factor. The Interest of
tho people has boen greatly Increased; tho
co-operation of directors has been more
c-mpletely secured; the scholarship of
r ncucrs lias uoen imnrovctl and their pro.
fcssional knowledge Increased; and more
efficient work has been accomplished by
tln children.
In a copy of the New England Journal
of Education ot Jan. 5th, I88J, Dr. A. E,
Wlnshlp, editor said tho following! Mr.
Grimes Is a man of rare skill In selecting
teachers, a good judge of human nature
an effective public speaker, an Industrious
school visitor, and an energetic Institute
organizer and director,
In tho editorial department of the Phila
delphia Timet of May '87 Is a paragraph
condcmmlng rotation In the offlco of Co.
Sunt. It runs as follows: "The fact that
Supt. Cottingham of Easton, has been in
office for a third of a century and Is a bet.
ter Superintendent of Schools than ho ever
was before is only one of tho many that
give the He to the claim that tho public
Interest Is served by Bicrlficlng experience
for tho sake of rotation."
There are somo positions the duties of
which the duties are purely clerical. As
to these, rotation is perhaps, a good thing.
But the County school superintendences
are in another class and In filling them ex.
perlcnce should always be a first consider,
atlon. The Buperlntcndencyis cot a parti,
san office. There Is no delegate election,
followed by a nominating convention.
Then aga'n Superintendent Grimes Is
not n novice in school work. Ho has not
only had successful experience as a teach
cr In the ungraded schools of this Co , but
also in tho graded schools, lie has acted
as Principal of the graded schools at Lime
Ridge, Mlfflluvllle, Buckhorn, Ebervale,
Luz. Co., and at Catawlssa for two terms.
Uo brought with him to the Superintend-
ency a valuable experlenco and has added
to it incessantly during the past nine years.
Such a Superintendent held the position
long enough? The lamented State Buperln.
tendent Ulgbee says "No".
Precedent says "No." All tho facts say
No." Tho School Dircctors;of Columbia
Co., on Tuesday, May Oth, 1890, will say
'No," emphatlcallly "No."
