NOTES AND COMMENTS. A rich man has to pay for the pri\- ilegc of dying over in England. There is a law there which requires a certain portion of a rich man's for tune to revert to the government at his death, and recently this source of revenue has been enormous. Over here we let a rich man die like any body else, but we get after the lega cies he leaves behind him as soon as lie has passed out of sight. ♦ ♦ They are still having rough times in Kentucky. Several men are on trial for the assassination of Goebel, but it is difficult 10 get any clear, positive, proof. In the excited stale of public feeling a fair aiul impartial trial of anybody charged with the deed, will be next to an impossibility. In the mean time everybody is armed to the teeth, Taylor s govern ment is not recognized by the court, and there is no telling what the out respect. Now we do not believe in cursing anybody nor in anybody’s cursing. Hut if there is a man in the country who can never be broken from the habit, we should think that he could hardly find a more appro- nriate object on which to expend his surplus stock of irreverence and pro fanity than a dispensary constable. It is too bad for the law to allow horses and dogs, congressman, gov ernors and the president of the Tinted .States to be cursed with im punity while a dispensary constable is allowed to enjoy an immunity. Isn’t there something out of joint somewhere? ♦ ♦ There is trouble over in China, which is l eginning to wear a serious aspect to other nations, growing largely out of a secret society called “Boxers,” encouraged by the Em press Dowager, who is said to be backed by Russia. The object of the “Boxers” is to drive all foreigners out of China, and there has recently been a bloody battle between the j “Boxers” and the Imperial troops j with about fifteen hundred men on a side. The Tinted States have four j warships on the China coast and j Russia has a squadron not far away. I Our imperial policy is pushing our | battle ships into those distant waters I and mixing us more and more i hopelessly with the affairs of dis tant nations, and it will probably not be long before we shall bo involved in wars which in magnitude will sur pass ail other wars that we have ever known. That policy which de mands that trade be 1 established and maintained by force of arms, must sooner or later culminate in antago nizing the most powerful nations of j the earth, if Tnele Sam should I ever fall into the “hug” of the Rus sian bear, he would get such a 1 squeeze as would make him a be liever to the last day of life. come may be. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ E x .president Cleveland and John G.

There are some facts, in regard to 1 the non-attendance of t he free schools, | that have been tutircly overlooked by those who have written upon the [ subject. I heard a man say the other day. that lie had paid out more money for ; books for each one of his children, 'then Ids father had paid out for books for his entire family of eight children. Of course it is very con venient for the teacher to have a uniform grade of books in ids school but it comes down so heavily upon parents that a great many of them arc forced to keep their children out of school from their inability to procure the books rtquired. When, if teachers were required to admit children into school with whatever kind of books that they were able to procure, there would be but very few children out of school. One of the two things should be done and clone at once, the rule requiring a certain kind of books to be taught in the pub lic schools should be abolished or the State should furnish them free. My opinion is that W’ebster's old blue back speller has never been excelled, as a word book or speller, by any thing that lias been used in our pub lic scliools. Another defect, and one which causes a great deal of dissatis faction, and one for which the patrons of the schools have no one to blame but themselves, is the in- competancy of trustees. I have in mind now the trustees of a certain school district who know just about as much about the educational needs of their district as a “hog does about a side pocket,” and care but very little more. The patrons should see to it that the men most alive to, and most cognizant with the educational needs of their district arc selected as trus- The world of science is becoming intensely interested in the approach ing total eclipse of the sun to take place on the 28th of May.

The observers will take their places at the stations a week or two before the eclipse and will rehearse for the event as actors rehearse for a play. Each man at each station will have lus part to act and will be thoroughly familiar with it before the play comes on.

The ignorance in which the Chinese government keeps Its people in respect to its lutci'uutionui relations Is tlemon- straled by a letter w’Bteu by Joseph Walton, a member of the British par liament, who lias just returned to Lou don from a tour in China, Japan, Ko rea, ludo-Chinu and India. Mr. Wal ton says that in one of the most dense ly populated provinces of the Celestial empire the war with Japan lias not been heard of, and the Inhabitants re fuse to believe that their country lias ever been defeated. Mr. Walton’s let ter in part is ns follows: “I traveled l.OOO miles up the Ynng- tse to Shun-king. For the first 1,000 miles 1 went up by steamer, and then by Chinese houseboat up the rapids and gorges of the Yang-tse, only ac complishing 70 mil >s in nine days, mien 1 was met by Mr. Archibald Lit tle's launch, In which, in the same period, I traveled 3S0 miles. The last •100 miles vns through Szechueu, the objective of tl e British Burma and up per Yang-tse railway. On both sides of the river, which at Shun-klng I found to be three-quarters of a mile wide at low water, the country was cultivated like a garden. “I saw thousands and thousands of eonunodi* us homesteads surrounded by clumps of bamboo and orange trees, with patches of ground of the richest alluvial soil, cultivated without a weed and producing two and three crops of opium, tobacco, indigo, sugar cane, etc. It was a new world, whose people had never heard of the war with Japan and who refused to believe that China had ever been beaten by that country. It was a land of peace, plenty and civili zation. I walked scores of miles through farms, villages and towns, and was everywhere treated with courtesy and civility. “At every place we touched the popu lation turned out on masse to see our little puffing launch forging its way up against the current, this being only the second time that this part of the river had been so navigated. I afterward came down the rapids in the launch—it was the first time they had been shot by a steamer—accomplishing the jour ney of -ir.7 miles from Shun-king to I-chang in 31 hours of steaming. Over and over again the little craft was practically burled in the seething rap ids. 'The possibilities of trade in this region are so vast that they can scarce ly be estimated. On the upper Yang- tse alone there are 5,00U trading junks, each manned by some 100 men, making a total of 300,000 persons en gaged in the carrying trade—fearless men of fine physique.” THE FUTURE OF BREAD. Curlonn AVhent Problem That tbe World Hum to Face. If Sir William Crookes is to he be lieved, scarcity of food is not by any means remote. It may come within sight of persons now alive, and these not very young. The ease may be very easily stated. At present the deficien cies of the wheat eating countries are supplied 1.^ North America, especially by the United States. In 1807-8 the wheat crop of the Unit ed States was about 540,000,000 bush els. Of this quantity 317,000,000 bush els were exported to Europe, where no country, excepting Russia and Turkey, grows enough for its own population. The States are able to do this without' trenching on the home supply because the total population is not more than 75,000,000, In 1031, if the increase of population goes on at the same rate as that of the last 30 years, the 75,000,- 000 will have increased to 130,000,000, and the surplus for export will be no longer available. Whence, therefore, will the wants of the world be supplied? Russia at pres ent exports largely, the total being something more than two-fifths of that from the States. But it cannot be hoped that Russia will come to the rescue of a huugry world. It is already hungry itself, exporting food while its own people are starving. Any change here must be in the way of distribu tion. This change will be the more speedy because the Russian popula tion, in spite of its sufferings, in creases. Indeed, the difficulty of the general problem is aggravated by the fact that up to the point of actual starvation scarcity not only does not check, but actually stimulates the rate of increase. A perfectly well fed, well educated and generally comfortable population lias a tendency to diminish rather than to grow.—London Spec- la lor. Editors and OUicca. It is hardly true as regards the ed itors of this city that the editorial chair is but a makeshift. Yet it is a fact that during the past 40 years not a few of them have sought public office.

Ragtime has been given its lating by F. W. Root, musical authority. He says it hears the same relation to the great things of the musical world that Mother Goose’s melodies do to the mas terpieces of the world’s literature. While criticising this lowly but ex tremely popular sort of music, Mr. Root says it came from the great mnes- tros of the earth. Wagner lapsed into it much after the manner of statesmen who sometimes get tired and drop in to versification. Mozart also had mo ments of fatigue or exuberance when he dashed off a few notes in the meas ure of the cake walk melody. Some of the great litterateurs have written along the mental altitude of Mother Goose, says Mr. Root, and so have Bach and Beethoven yielded to the impulse to put their lofty thoughts into sharps and flats that would be ap preciated iu Hoisted street. “I would not do away with ragtime music,” said Mr. Root. "If some one should ask me if 1 would blot out Mot ti er Goose’s rhymes, I would say unhes itatingly I would not do it. Mother Goose is a good thing In its way; so is ragtime. “To make the matter plain, ragtime Is syncopation. All of the great mas ters have employed syncopated notes. That is all right, or the masters would not have done It. But they did not write all of their works in syncopa tion. That shows that syncopation is good for awhile, hut we do not want too much of it. “Now, Mother Goose’s literature is a good thing, hut suppose you had noth ing else to read. You would soon get tired of It after awl ile.” “What would you suggest be done about it?” he was asked. “Let it alone. The people who like it may learn after awhile to like some thing else better.” “What objection lies against ragtime music?” “It is a repetition of the same tiling; that’s all. There is nothing else in the world the matter with it. As I said, if it were not a good tiling the masters would not have used it.” Among many oddities of ragtime an example of its effect may he seen in the setting of “Old Hundredth” to that measure. “There is no sucli thing ns good mu sic or had music,” said Professor Emil Lidding. “You may set good music to had or vicious wordings and the music becomes bad by implication. So with ragtime. It is now lending itself to low vaudeville, iu the main, and be cause of that association the music is denounced. The song ironi ‘Carmen.’ ‘Love Is a Wild Bird,' is one of the best examples of ragtime in modern music. In the overture to ‘Don Juan.’ by Mozart, and iu the sixth two voiced invention of Bach we have good ex amples of syncopation. Ragtime is simply having its day. it will he for gotten as a craze in a few years.”— Chicago Tribune. Southern Kulluity New York Office. Since the reorganizations and con solidation of the various railways of the South into one groat corporation —the Southern Railway Company— under the admirably conducted management of the banking house of J. I\ Morgan & Co., and the conse quent presidency of Mr. Samuel Spencer, this trunk system has taken its place as one of the greatest of this country. The remarkable industrial and material development of the South, together with the developed comforts of a winter sojourn there, have given to it an enormous passen ger traffic, which year by year in creases. To meet the demands and to further the convenience of the public the company has recently es tablished an up-town office at No. llSti Broadway, where the General Eastern Passenger Agent, Mr. A. S. Thwealt, is located. The office lias been handsomely snd luxuriously titled up with every accommodation for the patrons of the road in the transaction of business, purchase of tickets may be procured to Cuba, Mexico, California, or any other point in the great South ami West.

Results Falsity in Nine Cases Out ot Ten- Cure Found at Iasi. -A nowa This fearful diseaso often first appears as a mere scratch, a pimple, or lump in the breast, too small to attract any notice, until, iu many cases, the deadly disease is fully developed. Cancer can not bo cured by a surgical operation, because the diseaso is a virulent poison in the blood, circulating throughout the system, and although the sore or ulcer—known as the Cancer—may bo cut away, the poison remains in the blood, and promptly breaks out afresh, with renewed violence.
