Too Much Study. An exchange comments upon the physical Inferiority if the pupils of the schools In th? city in which It Is pub lished and attributEs the Indisposition of the boys and niris to take exercise to over-study. ThcM is something wrong with the boys and young men who how no inclination to paitlcipate In tho sports 'Which develop the muscles and enliven the spirits. The writer asserts thut "It ia highly probable that ex cessive Btudy Is th chief cause of the deficiency of the, Ktrngth and vigor, since its tffeet are invariably such as are found In this cUBe, particularly a loss of the natural Inclination for athletics among boys, and elnce the almost universal tendency tn schools Is too exact too much of pu pils. There Is hardly a district or high school l which the course does not re quire ftim tc to lour hours of home study. Only exceptional persons r.t any njje ate capable of sus taining; so many hetus hi severe ap plication without a n-ilotii loss of weight, i-tti ii.-'th ami aider." Theie Is r.o doubt thut in rrany In stances the pupil 'n publli; and private sip.ocls Is poshed beyond his strength by ambitions teachers' who are nnx I'jus thut projtes Ahoutd be made In their various 'lei ai -tmrnts.

Tho Woman's Itesctte leiijrtte of Washington has formally resolved thst tho bicycle Is a promoter of immorality and that it is breaking dvvn the hiabh of women who ride. From tills it is safe to Infer that the majority of the members of the league do not look at tractive when attired in bloomeis or short skirls. "The money of the I nileJ States, mid every kind or form of il. whether of paper, silver or gold, must be a Kiiotl as I he best in the world.

Work of the "Coal Bnron.." ' The coal barons took advantage of this cold snap to luck on that extra half dollar on n ton. IMnghamtnn Herald. The above Is a mild sample of the Kftns of editorial thought that emanate from heavy writers on light papers about the counlry, who class the Penn sylvania conl operator witli the Turk ish mid Spanish butchers or In fact nny other Inexcusable element upon which editorial ammunition may di rected when at loss for other subjects t criticize. It Is a fact well known by persons who have any knowledge of the coal business that considering tho expense and labor attending its production, anthracite eon I is the cheap est commodity upon the market today ntfl would still be so if prices were Increased far beyond the hopes of the miner. At the ptesent prices many col lieries have bt i n operated at little or no prolit for n nine time past In order that work mlt;ht be furnished for the miners. While it Id unnecessary to waste time or space in the endeavor to explain the situation to the writer of the para graph referred to, it is a pleasure to note nt (his Instance that the slight udvanee of prices of coal, which Is a matter of small conseiUi nee to the con sumer, means niui h to the business in terests of this city and the Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys. I.et us hope that the "coal barons" will continue the good work, that our Industries may keep pace with others of the hind that are already beginning to toil the Influence of the confidence that hits been restored by the prospect of a return of McKlnley good times. Among the most amusing features of the Chicago convention is the dls pust of the promoters of the enterprise, who are nlready tired of their visitors. They were successful lit getting the convention, notwithstanding New York bid $20,000 higher for it; but now that they have it. they find to their chagrin that it Is nothing better than a silver Jubilee, in which all other issues are lost in the Mood of white metal theories of various shades; and what Is more to their sorrow, they, who are nil of them men of sound financial views, will have to pay a good share of the guar anty out of their own pockets. Progress of the Colored Race. liishop Abrarri Grant, who presided over the recent conference of the Afri can Methodist Kpiscopnl chicch in New York city, asks what race in his tory, lifted out of slavery and ignor ance, has given a better account (f Itself than his race in its th'rty years of liberty. The bishop, in t1v; Wash ington Post's opinion, is well qualified to tipeak of and for the negroes, and he cites facts that are full of encour agement to them and to all good citi zens. No Interest of the whites Is jeop ardized by the progress of tho blacks. On the contrary, the best Interests o? the people In general, of the nation as a whole, are promoted by the advance ment of the colored contingent In ed ucation, morality, and material pros perity. Tne bishop cites the census tables to show that, in 1S90, the pure blacks oc cupied 1,186,174 of the 12.600,1:2 homes in the United States, and that of thes, 207,616 had been paid for. Ho says the black men virtually run the agricul ture of the South, and If whit men furnish the Fpindles for her cotloa mills. Hack men furnish the raw ma terial. In 1SS0 the fouth had 101 tot ton mills, worklns Cfi7,f;S4 spinuh;!. Ten ytar3 later the r.umbcr had risen to iC3 mills ovlth 1.7CG.3C3 iplndhs. Ia PPI there were 405 mills, with 2,77i,PS7 spindles. The Industrious habits if the negroes, flishop riant cantlnurp, mailt that increase possible. It ci r Ir.lnly could r.ot have occurred if the cotton had not been produced, rind ne gro.' I.-.bor is the chief factor in the produc ti-tn of that staple. In th3 mat ter of education the 1'ish' p states that the colored people furnish -"i.O'O tcac'.. .rs in the t'nUcd StnUs, publish 2'0 iicvs;-;;pt ts, and have several state colk t,-':'. taught 1 ihclr own people. "Wo do not ihlnic," adds, our Wash ington contemporary, "that r.ny stu dent of history will cue to take v.i the be bop's challenge to llr.d a lace whkb, under similar conditions, has mailt! such prcsross. During the war the blacks made a mod record on both sides. In tho South the great mass if them car;led on the work of tile families i f their ni.T-.t-ra whil' the whites were In the rim:,?. In thj North they entered the I'nion army in large numbers, and 'the colored troops fo'ifrht nobly.'

It is a pleasure to mto that the wife beater ticcaslonally coim-j to grief.

In ad dition to this a number of women In the neighborhood organized a white cap society ami threatened dire vengeance on tho v. ifc-beater should he per: 1st in remaining in the vicinity after a suf ficient time for ilipa.rtme bad been consumed. This seems to be an in stance in which wliite-cnpism is liable to become popular, It is said that fanners everywhere nre complaining that they cannot secure helj enough to harvest their crops; and yet In the largo cillcs thert; are thous ands of men who have no employment. Farm work is the most healthful and plt nsant of any manual labor, nml the farm hand Is better off physically und morally than any other worklngmnn upon earth. Why the average laborer should nt this season of the year hesi tate nt the oppoi tunltles to earn fair wages at farm work, it Is dlflicult to un derstand. The trials of the politicians down in Alubniiia seem to be as numerous as In other sections of the country. A candi date from Henry county publishes the following in the Dothan Sil'tings: "A ltrd to tht!

W. lirooks. candidate for state Helm to on People's party ticket from Twenty-third Senatorial district.", CANADA'S NEW PREMIER. Ottawa Letter In the Times-Herald. Wilfrid Lanrlt-r has been called "the McKlnley ef Canada" for his caution nml lack of anything ilko grand stand piny. Parliament convenes In July. The ilell ttlie poliev of the Liberals will not be an nounced before then. Iiurler will meet the governor general at nn early date, ami will advise the course to be pursued. It Is believed that he will ask for the introduc tion of a bill providing for reciprocity with the Pulled States. There may also be legislation aiming to permanently sepa rate the church and the state in all politi cal natters. An Investigation Into rail road grants ami tho conduct of the Cana dian Pacific railroad Is almost a certainty. Hut the new premier will be conservative in all that he ilo-s, although a Liberal, lb! is not a blatant man. He does not leap before be looks, ami he loves Canada for herself. He has worked steadfastly, honestly and without coercion or bragga docio. A better man Canada could scarce ly have chosen. Mr. Laurler Is the mod ern typo of a knlgnt without fear nnd without reproach. Not even the bitterest of bis enemies have been able to discern a dark spot In the whiteness of his private character. They have called him "wav ering," "Indefinite," "emotional," nrd have nllnded to his "r.osinine optimism," but they could do r.o worse. To deny Mm loyally and truth, wit and power nml sincerity, were to deny that the sun shines or that the sk- is sometimes blue. li !l II -Wilfred Laurler Is today the foremost orator In Canada. His accent In slight ly t rci.ch, hiti diction exquisite, ami his command of language remarkable. He Is intuitive and swift as, a woman, with the man's force nnd logic nr.d the lawyer's shrew'ness. lint whether In the house or In the campaign, or In private dispute, Mr. Laurler is always first and foremost. A Ttoland for Oliver it is often his to give, but always courteous Is the baek thrust. no matter how coarse or craven the initial cat may have been.

That he has been named "the silver tniigued" Is no mero figure of speech. Ills voice is plneu lariy clear and musical tin masculine prototype of 0arr,h Pernhardt's. He is a generous host nnd dispenser of hospital ity. In this he Is ably assisted or, rather, led by Madame LaiMir. I! !l II Of their marriage there is a wholesome romance. When, twenty-eight years old, the beautiful '.w La Fontaine, belle of Montreal, and ilauehter of Wealthy par ents, fell In love with and married tho young lawyer, Wilfred.
