SCHOOL AGAIN.
On next Monday the public schools will open for another year's grind. The teachers have been getting home from their summer's outing—those of them who were fortunate enough to get away —and all will be refreshed by the good long rest whether they have gone off or stayed at home.
Doubtless many of the children are sorry that vacation is at an end. It was very pleasant to be free from the bur dens and worries of school life, to be turned loose for along season of rest and play. But all good things, like all bad Ones, have to come to an end sooner or later and so the children's vacation must end, too, and they must go back to men tal work once more. The lessous must he learned or our boys and girls will not be able to hold their own in the coming struggle of life. After a good long play season very properly comes a good long work season.
After all there are some pleasant things about school life. It is nice to meet the teachers and pupils again and take up togethor the old studies where they were left off and the new ones that come with a new school year. It gives pleasure to feel that one is learning some thing all the time, advancing a little and a little farther in the path of knowledge. Then, the study hours are only one fourth of the twenty-four and there is a good deal of jtthne left for amusement and play. The boys and girls will not find their tasks so very hard, if thoy go at thorn with spirit and vigor. Half the battle is won when we havo fully resolved that it shall be won.
So, then, children, ail begin the new school year determined to study hard while you are at it and have* better lessons than before. It will help you and help your teachers and make things pleasanter and easier all round. You will enjoy both your study and play hours better for good lessons will sharp en your appetite for play.
AN ENGLISH AMERICAN. There has been so much said about Anglophobia in this country and there is unfortunately a feeling so widely prevalent that English and foreign things are somehow better than our own that It is quite refreshing to come across an Englishman who has a hearty appreciation of the value of American institutions and is willing to admit their superiority over those of his own country
The person referred to Is the Marquis of Lome and his views on republican government aro givon in an article in the Forum for Septomber entitled "Distrust of Popular Government." It appears that the article is an answer to a letter written ly an alleged "eminent American" to the Marquis, in which it was complained that in republics the most vital questions depend upon popular dictions aud that such a govern ment cannot act with snoh continuousness of purpose as a monarchy.
Ono of the points discussed Is foreign commerce and tho writer predlots that when this oountry is more crowded than it now la, its vast productions and the demand of its people for foreign goods will draw to It such a commerce as no nation has ever seen.
He thinks the diplomacy of America will compare favorably with that of any monarchy and that the President of the United States has more real governing power than the kings and queens of Europe. In short Lord Lome is a thorough believer in American things and ways, is more of an American In fact, than some of our own people, more's the pity. The Englishman's rebuke is timely and telling.
JOHN BULL AND THE TARIFF. The London Daily News has made an elaborate review of the Mills tariff bill and concludes that if the bill should become a law Englvnd would receive no benefit from it. In fact, would be rather worse off thau she Is now.
Very naturally the News would take that view of the mattei. England has been very anxious for years to have the United States adopt free trade because she wants tho American market, with its sixty million consumers, open to her goods. With our own manufacturers crippled or broken down, it would be a fine pionlo for England to flood the country with the products of her cheap labor. But English editors are no chumps. They are too smart to admit that the Mills bill would help English interests. There is no better diplomat in the world than John Bull, and the office of .diplomacy is to get what you want by making the other fellow think it is not what you want. So the English editor trie* to p«U the tariff tfteol over American er«* by pretending that free trade would be detrimental rather than benefloial to England.
But what can we what English editors think or say 7 The tariff question hi an American question and is to be nettled by Americana. The people of the United State* are old enough to know what they want and to do their own thinking without any h4ip fnu» John Boll. The tariff question will be settled on this side the water, not on the other aide.

The evolution of woman has been going on for centuries and to day it may fairly be said that she exists as an individual, as a hnman being, and not as a mere appendage to some other individuality.
It is within the recollection of many now living when woman were divided into two classes. One consisted of those who lived in secluded homes either as wives, as daughters or as poor dependents the other were the workiugwomen who toiled in mills and factoriee, and were looked upon as dwelling in ignorance, poverty and menial position. There was one exception—the profession of teaching and it was nearly the only one.
How all is now changed I Every profession is open to women. What work is going on that they do not have a hand in? They are preachers, doctors, lawyers architects, artists, clerks, managers, everything. Their salaries are equal to or compare favorably with those of men for similar work. Their work is a large factor in the world's progress and there Is scarcely left a trace of the primitive period wheu women did the lower kinds of work for the poorest pay, or were not fairly paid for the higher classes of work which they did do. There are inequalities yet, to be sure, but they are being rapidly corrected and women are coming to get the just rewards of their skill aud labor.
WE cannot think Mr. Blaine is talking very wisely on the Trust question. It may be true, as be claims, that they exist under State laws and that Congress has no control of them. That is the point to be decided and the President showed his willingness to tight these rapacious gangs of robbers when he called attention to them in his message. By some kind of authority they must be put down if the people are not to be gouged and fleeced without limit and Congress should at least in restigate tho subject and see if there is not some phase of the evil that it can bo dealt with. Mr, Blaine cannot afford to even seem to be a defender of trusts.
THERE is no just cause for complaint against the President for giving $10,000 to the Democratic campaign fund. He is personally interested in the result of the campaign more than anyone else and as everyone knows that national campaigns can't be carried on with empty treasury, Mr. Cleveland would be severely criticised should he refuse to make any contribution. He would be charged with stinginess and lack of regard for those who were working and giving to secure his election. Under the circumstances he could not well do otherwise than to contribute to the campaign.
HIOH license has worked as well in Pennsylvania as it has In Minnesota and elsewhere. It has been in operation there for one year and the number of li censes fell from 14,704 to 7,733, or nearly ono half. That means the closing up of nearly one half tho suloons In the State On the othor hand the revenue produced from tho saloons was almost doubled. Tims the liquor traffic is made to pay for part at least of the expense produced by it in tilling jails and almshouses. Better than all, the worst of the low groggerlcs are closed up and public morals vastly bettered. High license works well.
DENVER is having a good deal of typhoid fever and the papers of the great health capital are complaining of the filthy and unsanitary condition of the city. And so it goes. There is no abso lute immunity from disease anywhere. Whether in Indiana, Colorado, or California, there must be attention to cleanliness and tho laws of health if people are to keep well. Fifth and decay will breed disease anvwhere.
THE St. Louis Globe-Democrat says that while St. Louis as a mining town is not entirely played out people will be more cautious than heretofore about paying half a million dollars for a hole in the ground. This means, of course, that mining investments area "mighty onsartin" kind of property, There Is a great deal of evidence tending that way
THE lowest State Capital in the country is Annapolis, Md., which Is only four feet above sea level. The highest Is Denver, 5175 feet. Indianapolis Is 722 feet. There are 24 lower than that and only 9 higher. The altitude of five capitals is not given.

THE VANDAUA.
OH! ITS ALL RIGHT!
Yesterday's Indianapolis Journal says: Sept. 4 is passed^. and from thi» on, through no legal adtlon, or hook, or crook of the law, can the Ives-Staynor syndicate secure any hold of the* Indianapolis & Terre Haute road through which it would seeure control of the Vandalia. While it has not been expected that anything would come up for some weeks past there has been, stnne anxiety lest, possibly, litigation over the matter would arise and Le hanging as a cloud over the prosperous Vandalia. With this date all trouble in that direction is made impossible. While the dealings of fourtoen months agx between President McKeen and this syndicate have cansed^considerable anxiety, not only with the officers of the- road, but the employes as well, the losses of the company were exaggerated, axd, financially speaking, the Terre Bbule & Indianapolis, and through it the Vandalia is now on a more solid financial basis than at any previous time in its history, and [through it all President McKeen comes out with his character as a business maot untarnished. President McKeen is- better satisfied than ever that he has a grand property under hie control, and the relations between the Terre Haute A. Indianapolis Railroad Company aud the Pensylvania Railroad tympany ar&Bow more strongly united than ever before. The Pennsylvania has learned that Mr. McKeen is a man that will not b* trampled upon anil tbey have further learned that the Vandalia is a more important part of their system through the leases they have thsn it had been considered before this UUMI, which so fortunately failed to come to a successful issue, was sprung. ,v 4
The Open Court, of Chicago, a metaphysical journal,comes to the front with the most astonishing piece of mathematical demonstration ever attempted for it is a sober attempt to demonstrate the existence of eternal cause and effect, by the use of algebraic signs and symbols. The conclusion goes further, and shows that not only must oause and effect stand in an infinite series, but that ultimate cause includes all other causes, and is itself absolutely distinct from auv of them. Or, as the author says, "Mathematical analysis shows us that in the begining there is a cause physically unknowable, self-existent, ompi1* tent, God." In other words tics comes to the ists, and a prim aut^v
