—Toa deputation which waited on Sir John Gorst at the British educational de— partment last week that official made the following bold statement: “The clasees which form the Government of this coun- try by no means agree that as such educa-~ tion was a good thing, because it unfitted children for the humble duties of life which were thought necessary for the mainten- ance of our civilization. Even many of those who were in tavor of technical ed-~ ucation were not apparently aware of the fact that the best system would be futile without sound elemeutarv education.”

—Senator Kirchhoffer in discussing the Yuion railway bill, the other day threw some additional light on this monstrous dea!. He said,“They,” meaning the cou- tractors, “are entitled to nearly 4,000,000

New York Post: If it were not for the Culac business, we should have our bards full iooking after our Central and South American protezes. A “general war” seems the best prospect the despatches can hold out for Central America.

But the least that seems probable is the breaking up of the “Greater Repub- lic’ of Central America, its factors flying
