The grim joke relative to the set- tlement of any disagreeable race problem, by gathering all the persons in the way on to the decks of a few ships and sinking them in mid-ocean, has so impressed the inhabitants of Westchester county, New York, that they propose to literally drown every tramp who inflicts himselt on the community. A house is to be erect- ed in which tramps are to be placed and.into which water 1s to be turned so that it will speedily attain the height of six feet. Ifthe unfortunate tramp can not keep down the rising tide by bailing out the water he will drown without hope ot rescue. The scheme reflects credit on the archi- tect who devised it, and on those who accepted it; but it is open to one objection. The drowning ot the first tramp will certainly reduce the number ot an objectionable class by one, but unless capital punish- ment for murder is abolished in the meantime, it will probably involve at least as substantia! a reduction in the numerical strength otf the very- much-better-than-thou people who were responsible for the event. Were Bald-Knobbers Responsible. Springfield, Mo., Dec. 30—Night before last Wilham Miller's saloon at Ava, Douglas county, together with its contents, was destroyed by fire, causing a loss of $1,200.

Let us be swe to elect a commissioner in the spring who will make it to the interest ot the teachers to have them take more interest in their work.
