There is little comfort for the contestant

Secretary Herbert has learned of
an abuse iu his department which he
will investigate immediately. It ap-I-ars
that certain naval ollicers have se
emed furloughs on half or two-thirds
pay, in order to devote the time thus

work for manufacturers of ordnance
and other naval supplies on contract
with the the Government. Secretary
Herlrrt will stop the abuse, of course.
The defeat of the I.rown road bill in
the Senate hist week by a decisive vote
after the rejection of a suk-titute for its
provisions may le accepted as an indica
tion that there w ill le no road legisla
tion this year. This is unfortunate, as
the roads of this state are in anything
but a good condition, and under exist
ing laws are not likely to improve. But
it seems impossible to frame a bill at this
time satisfactory to the majority of the
members of either House.
The same numlwr of marines and
sailors from a like numlier of men-oN
war of foreign nations, sis those which
marcheJ in a parade in New York City
Friday, never appeared in time of peace
or war in any one city at the same time
in the world. This made the sjieetade
one of impressive interest, which will
never be forgotten in the history of New
York city, and had more of stately im
ortanre in it than did the otiening of
the World's Fair on Monday, in Chicago.
Sikini tloods of unusual height have
followed the drenching rains of the past
three weeks in the Ohio and Upper Mis
sissippi valleys, and farming ojx-rations
have leeu summarily halted in the fer
tile valleys of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
As far south as Arkansas many of the
plantations are submerged, and contin
ued high water would work immense
damage to the sprouting wheat crops.
With fair weather, however, the crops
would doubtless le all the richer and the
soil all the more fertile for the rush and
turmoil of the Hoods.
W hu e in this country we have leen
having a wet and backward Spring, with
a great assortment of storms, tornadoes
and cyclones, in Europe the conditions
have l.een reverse,!, and in England there
is no record, and Jn France none for
over l."i4 years, of such a warm and
rainless spring. Xo rain, except a little
shower one afternoon, has fallen in Ion
don or 1'aris for two .months. The
drouth hasU-en accompanied by weather
as warm as usual in May or June. The
crop prospects are of the worst, w hile in
the western rt of this country there
is bad lookout Lecauaa of rain and
Jlotxlri.
Uxt'ER bleak skies, with a chilling
mist from the lake, and a very disagree
able morning generally so far as weather
goes, the Columbiau Exposition was for
mally declared open on Monday. There
was nothing specially significant aUut
the opening ceremonies, further than
the grand fact that the world's fair now
enters on its final and most important
epoch. The ceremonies were brief, all
except the prayer of chaplain Milburu,
which is about four times the length of
President Cleveland's brief address.
Nor is the address particularly noticeable.
It is in an enthusiastic and congratula
tory note, all in good taste, but not at
all striking. The President says we en
ter on this contest of nations in realm
of human endeavor, asking no allow ance
on the score of youth. As against re
sults accomplished by longer efforts than
ours "we exhibit the unparalleled ad
vancement and wonderful accomplish
ments of a young nation, and the pres
ent triumphs of a vigorous, self-reliant
and independent people." He com
pares the splendid edifices aiwnit him to
the "magnificent fabricof a popular gov
ernment, whose proportions are seen
throughout the world."
"We have also made men who rule
themselves." The exposition exempli
fies "in the noblest sense the brother
hood of nations." And, as he touched
the golden button that let loose the
forces that gave life to the great show,
his closing words were: "So, at the
same instant let our hopes and inspira
tions awaken forces which in all time to
come shall influence the welfare, the dig
nity and freedom of nations." Then lie
pressed the button, a few minutes after
noon, and the great machinery com
menced turning, the fountains playing
and hundreds of flags of all nations were
Hung to the breeze. The Columbian
Exposition w is open and ready for busi
ness.
Afterwards the President received the
commissioners from foreign govern
ments, witnessed the formal dedication
of the woman's department and at five
o'clock left for Washington.
It is just as well it should le stated, as
the fact is not likely to le prominent in
the exuberant dispatches from Chicago,
that the exjiosition although oen is not
ready, and it may le several weeks U fore
it is got in a tolerably complete condi
tion for visitors. Those who have to go
in May will understand this. By the
first of June everything should le com
plete. Yessels have leen arriving within
a few days with exhibits that ought to
have leen in Chicago weeks ago. The
transportation service had tieen bad, and
the completion of the buildings has been
delayed. But this experience has not
been exceptional. It has been the case
with the other world's fairs.
Governor Pattison sent to the Legis
Iature last week two vetoes of bills re
lating to the management of public
schools. Senate bill No. 34, to make
instructions in physical cclture obligab
rv in cities of the first and second class
he disapproves for the very excellent rea
sons that the fundamental instruction re
quired by the state would only Ik? made
less through by the imposition of new
methods and studies; that there is no
reason why physical culture should le
restricted to Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
and that, if such instruction te deemed
necessary, th directors of the schools
are already armed with the needful au
thority to make it a part of the school
couise.
There is a smack of good sense and of
home rule philosophy in this veto that
w'll accord with the Mtpular judgment.
Let the schools teach with thoroughness
how to jead, write, spell and cipher.
When this shall have len accomplished
there will e time and occasion for branch
ingout. The Governor's message reads
as if he had made examinatio n of the
proficiency in average rudimentary
knowledge imparted in the public
schools. Where a hundred children
may accurately tell how many bones
there are in the human body, not one
will le able to read properly and intelli
gibly. Our teachers of late years have
turned into a kind of parrotry in which
a little is taught of many things and not
much of anything.
The veto of House bill No. 2V, to pro
vide for the payment ot the exjienses of
school directors incident to the choice of
county superintendents is a further evi
dence of the desire of Governor Pattison
to maintain our school system upon the
admirable mode) of its original estab-
lishment, in which the idea of hire and
salary found no place. The public
schools are a great state charity. Their
administration should as far as ttosMble,
Ik? conformed to this benevolent concep
tion. The Pennsylvania state building, one
of the greatest attractions at the World's
hair, was thrown oK-n to the public on
Wednesday. Since the Liberty Bell was
put in place in the rotunda, only that
large room has leen open to visitors.
The superintendent desired to put on
the finishing touches in the other rooms
and clean up after the crowd that inva
ded the building on Monday. For that
reason the doors were closed until this
Wednesday morning. The Philadelphia
policemen are on duty night and day
guarding (he, -Independence bell and an
swering a thousand questions put by the
multitude of sight seers that would con
sider their exposition excursion a failure
if they had not looked upon the nation
al relic.
It does not require a superior degree
of intelligence to discover the difficulties
of our present financial system, which
occur from the attempt to make Gt cents'
worth of silver a safe basis for business
that has to be transacted at the ratio of
dollar for dollar, worth J (1) cents in gold.
No such experiment ever prosperej, and
no such experiment ever will prosjuT.

Washington Letter.
Washington, 1. C, May 1, lS'.tt.
Hurrah for the Ik-m.H-ratie administra
tion! It has proven itself to l the mas
ter, not the servant, of Wall street, and
the government Still livts. and the treas
ury continues and will continue to pax
out gold to nil who may doire it for
treasury notes. A greater financial tri
umph was never achieved by any ad
ministration. It marks the la-ginning
of a new era, in which the president of
the United Slatt-s ami his cabinet will
dictate our national financial li y, in
stead of havitii: it done from Wall Mreet,
as it has Ih-cii done already too long for
the gi k h! of the country. The Wall
street crowd invited the knoek-down
blow they received. Seeing that bank
ers all over the country were following
the lead of those of the south
and west in furnishing the treasury
with gold the Wall stn-etvrs
got together and formulat-d a proj.o-.i-tion
in which they agreed to furnish tin
treasury with from ;'0.M0,t" to ."..
0(H,0Ht in gold, but the proposition had
a string tied to it in the shape of a pro
viso that Ixmds should lieis.-m-d for their
gold. Other bankers turned their gold
into the treasury without quc-lioii. lo
calise of their confidence in the govern
ment, which they thought iu need of
the gold to tide over a temporary lil!i
culty, but the Wall street hy locks
wanted their jMiuod of flesh in the sliajw
of interest on the injiuIs to e issued
iK'foie they would turn loose the gold ly
ing idle in their vaults. It did not take
President Cleveland and the cabinet
three minutes to formulate an indignant
refusal, which was wired to New York.
Ijiter, another proposition, h-ss exacting,
was received, hut it also was promptly
rejected. It must by this time U; evi
dent to even the most obtuse observer
that the financial motto of this adminis
tration is, " no Wallstrect domination."
The present condition of the treasury
is, under the circumstances, satisfactory ,
and if the offers of gold continue to be
as freely made as they have Iwcn for the
past week it is U-lieved that there will If
no necessity for the issue of bonds, and
even if the demand foi gold shall con
tinue to increase, the reserve fund, at
present intact, will U drawn upon to
meet it until it U-comes certain that it
w ill l exhausted, U fore Umds w ill be
issued. President Cleveland and S'cre
tary Carlisle are loth fully determined
that no bonds shall tx issued until it
shall have Uen fully demonstrated that
nothing else will furnish the relief need
ed, ami many U-licvr that if that shall la
the matter will Ik-submitted to Congress
at an extra session, Ufore bonds are is
sued .
Secretary Hoke Smith is the only
member of the cabinet iu the city, and
he has just returned from New York,
where the entire cabinet and the presi
dent took in the big naval review. The
president and the other members of tin
cabinet, except Secretary Ijouont, w ho is
coniclled by private business to remain
there several days, will go direct from
New York to Chicago to take part iu the
ojK'ning of the World's Fair. Secretary
Smith bad to miss the trip to the Fair
because of some pressing Indian business
that demands his immediate attention.
The second chapter in the investiga
tion of the- Weather bureau opened with
a stormy row U-tueen those tuogood Ke
publicans, Prof. Harrington, chief of
the bureau, who is U-ing investigated,
and Assistant Attorney Oi-neral Colby,
who is conducting the investigation.
The evidence taken up to this time fully
lears out one of the charges that in
competent employes were retained after
the chief of the bureau knew they were
incompetent.
Congressman Carilth, of Kentucky,
carries a very broad smile ju-t now. One
of the reasons of the unusual breadth of
that smile was the selection of his broth
er, George W. Caruth, editor of the Little
Kock, (Ark.) (injttt, to le United Stales
Minister to Portugal.
Among the other important presiden
tial appointments made ia.-t week were
those of ex-Congressman Kinnev, of
Hampshire, to l-e Minister to Columbia;
ex-Congressman Thompson, of Cali
fornia, to le MinisU-r to Brazil; ex-Coii-gressiiian
Wiley, of New York, to be

of Illinois; Gen. Fithugh I.-e. of Vir

Nebraska. No more appointments will
le made until after the president's re
turn from the World's Fair.
pearly all the prominent ollicials went
over to New York this week to s-e tin
international naval review, the largest
affair of its kind that has ever taken
piece in American waters, and they are
all glad they went, for they saw what
none of them will probably ever see
again. m.
A Death l!d Keienge.
Wti kesrarrk, April Colonel
Frank Beamish, at one time the most
prominent 1 emo-ratic (olitiiian in

So Passports For Hebrews.
New York, May '2. An afternoon pa
jer to day says that the Russian Consul
General, Olarovsky, yesterday declined
to place his signature upon a passjHTt
issued by the State IVpartment ami pre
sented by Mrs. Sadie Schwartz, of this
city, ;the wife of a citizen of the United
States, on the ground that she was a He
brew, and that the laws of his country
forbid him signing such passjHirts.
The pajier sent a reporter to the otlice
of the Consul General this morning w ith
a passport to le signed, and stated that
the Consul refusal to put Ids signature
toil when, in reply to a question, the re
porter said he was a Hebrew.

Exrlmle Undesirable Immigration.
The r-ort that ten thousand inimi
grauls are lxM)k-l for this port for the
next 'hn-e months and that the arrivals
are likely to exceed tinseof any former
year shonlo serve to put the inspection
authorities on the alert. The iiunii
grants rs-ently arriving have in many
instances Ikvii of the oorest class, of
which we have too many already. It is
not worth while to build almshouses and
hospitals to h-sscit tin- aupcr budget of
our foreign m-ighlx.rs. The law against
paiicr and criminal immigration should
Ik' strictly enforce-!, and unless ail signs
fail their wTd l' room for the exercise of
iiun.-ual rig'r in its enfoicemeiit and a
jkm! deal of shrewdness in detecting at
tempts t- evade it.
The poss-ibilily of cholera imxrtulion
by immigration is another of the date
gers that call for sm-4 ial w atchfulness on
the part of the immigration ollicials.
The liid quarantine regulations cn-for-ed
la.-t fall and winter practically
closed our jMtrls against thousands who
desired to esva' the cholera danger by
coming to the United Slates. The dan
ger from choiera in EuroH- is as great as
U'fore. Tln.se who Would have tied
from it last autumn and could not are
just as anxious to get away from it now
as then. Many of these are from s"c
lions affected by the disease last year,
and it is essential that our immigration
and quarantine authorities do not allow
lhemsclv-s to Ik caught napping if the
cholera is to 1 shut out of our jxH ts.
We have enough of native Ktverty,
crime and disease to contend w ith. We
need no foreign imortations of either,
t ur laws are not as rigid and sweeping
as tln-v should he on this sul.ject, but
such laws as we have should Ik- enforced
to the last ossible stretch of their juris
diction. We should shut our d.s.rs
against all undesirable immigration and
the louder the clamor for admission on
the part of this class the deafer should
U the ears of our port authorities.

iHLGOTE OLIVER CHILLED PLOWS

Oliver Chilled Plow Works,
South Bend, Indiana,
ARE THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE PLOWS IN THE WORLD.
A strong statement but a true one, for these plows are better
known, have readied a larger sale, have had a longer run, have proved
more popular and given better satisfaction than any other plows od
the face of the globe.
We mean the GENUINE OLIVER, and not the imitations claim
ing to be the Oliver, or equally as good. Such imitations are on the
market, placed there by unscrupulous manufacturers who seek to trade
on the good name of the Olivkr.
Look out for imitations, buy only the genuine Oliver plows
repairs, and be sure you are right before you take the plow hoiue.
