There has been much discussion, and
not little sharp contention, between the

Of SERVANTS" and cannot but agree with
Miss Beecher, that this kind Of education
and training is likely to do much more for
the education of her sex than the right of
suffrage. At the same time it seemst to me
that no one can look over the whole

SHORT, SHARP AND DECISIVE = GENERAL
BUTLER COMES DOWN.

ala that YOU, Captain Scott ?" said the coon to
the great hunter. "It is," replied the Captain.
''Then," said the coon, ''don't shoot; it's not
worth while, Of course ; I'll come down"
This is about what happened, yesterday, at
Worcester. General Butler saw that Washburn
had majority of the delegates, and he yielded
without ballot. In two or three speeches, in
advance of the result, he professed his fealty to
the Republican organization, and secuted the IDEA
of ''boting," and finally, when the Convention
reassembled, last evening, he announced his
conviction that majority of the delegates were
against him, and consequently he withdrew his
name leaving the way open to re nominate
waahburn by acclamation.
This further defeat of General Butler is cause
for congratulation, in two particulars. In the
first place, it is disapproval of the exceedingly
offensive and Objectionable manner in which he
attempted to seize the Governorship, The theory
that the office should GEEK the man could not
possibly be more directly antagonized than by
the methods which Butler adopted to get the
place he wanted. Politicians usually pull their
wires secretly, but the Essex Statesman makes
no disguise at all instead of the artful court
ship Of public opinion usually employed by Office
seekers, his advances are as open and forcible as
those Of the Romans toward the Sabines.
Besides his political method, General Buffers
lack of perception between Right and Wrong
has been rebnked. His moral sense has been
too vague and indistinct. His defence of Oaket
Ames was almost speech for the Credit Mobil'
ier swindle, and his engineering OF the Salary
Grab was supplemented by his bold justification
of the obnoxious measure. In the face of these
obliquities of. moral perception, his success
would have been grave injury, both to the Re
publican party, and to the public welfare. The!
are not only bad in themselves, but they are ten
denotes in the wrong direction. OF all thing
now, we need honesty, unsel6shness, and pur
public spirit in our officials. Ability, howsve
great cannot supply the lack Of those essentia
qualifications.
That the decision in Massachusetts will d
good, in various ways, we do not doubt, Will
we feel, nevertheless, that there is much in tn
past services of General Butler emitting him
consideration. fine sense OF honor and kee
discrimination between the proper and ndimpropel
unfortunately mar his otherwise great deserts

A Famous New York EdHce Its Clock ard
Lhimes.
The hands on the clock Of Trinity Church. New
York, we're recently removed for brief time, for
repair. The Journal Of Commerce gives tie fo.-
lowing history of the clock aud bells
Since James Rogers, the builder Of the clock
put its wheels ln motion, it has never stopped for
any heightened time before. In 1916 the clock
was put in position and connected with the
chimes Rogers has built, since. the great clock
at the Vanderbilt or Grand Central Depot, and
several other great clocks, but the one in Trinity
Is the masterpiece, and with one exception (not
the Strasburg hgure clock ls the largest dial
working clock in the world The dials are ten
feet in diameter each hour being cut in relief
from a single block Of stone. The hour-hands
are four feet in length, asd the minnte-hands
five feet four inches The clock is forty feet
asoye the dals, and the movements Of the hands
work through long tia tubes encased in oak
There are in the clock three large cylinders car
ryiug steel and brass cog-wheels, the largest
wheels being two feet Elk inches in diameter
and the smallest being seven inches.
Ia all there are twenty-zeYen wheels, not count
ing the friction rollers. The pendulum rod IL
made OF wood. twenty-one feet IN length, and
having at the lower extremity about five feet
swlng. In this there IL a trade secret. Wood
shrinks sideway, while iron, steel & ass and 9TH
er materials shrink III all directions, Therefore
wood well seasoned and waXed, is used for tow
er-clock peudulums. Three weights are used,

that II the ropes break the weights shall not fall
into the body Of the church. BY simple trip
leverage, three bells in the chime are connected
with the cock, aud thus ring out the quarter
hours repeating on the last two quarters. An
other lever tolls the hours. The clock il wound

patent winch is used to perform this work. The
clock was placed 30 far above the dial because
the bells are hung just behind the clock hands,
and the churchmen feared that if the bell. were
tOlled by hand they might turn over and throw
the ringers in contact with the clock-ge I'm
der the bells is the station Of the mysterious
man who rings the changes on the bells. A
rough wooden seat faces framework from
which project nine long wooden handles. They
are levers fastened to thin lines connecting with
the tongues OF the bells. Beside the octave is
the 'baby" bell. Struck with any other bell the

ADVANCED EDUCATION IN OUR HIGHEST
gCHlDI9.

We are pleased to find the Republican regard
ing favorably the proposition to introduce Latin
and German as optional studies into our most
advanced Public Schools. In reference to the
pending resolution, it says: -
"There is evidently an increase Of sentiment
in favor Of a higher gra 10 OF education in the
public schools and we incline to the opinion
that the resolution will pass.
1.-The idea was advanced By Mr.. Jenkins that by
teaching the above languages pupils could be
prepared to enter the Delaware College, and re-
ceive instruction without charge as there were
sixty scholarships provided by the Legs-
lAtive enactment and Wilmington was entitled
to at least one fourth OF them, II the hope of
securing such scholarship would influence all the
pupils to labor faithfully, great deal Of good
would result, and those who have objected to
the study OF languages on account OF the in-
creased cost, would doubtless be constrained to
change their opinions. Boys who wish to study
law, medicine or divinity, or engage in teaching,
may study the languages with profit, but those
who expect to become mechanics or merchants
cannot derive any great degree OF profit from
them"
As to this last view, ii is to be said that a
knowledge of German may be OF very great va
lue to all engaged in merc lntie business. The
number Of German-speakiug people. in our own
country, is very large, and in cities like Cincin-
natl, st. Louis, Chicago, and Milwaukee, ss we'll
as the great cities on the Atlantic, merchant,
clerk, or salesman who can speak German has a
decided advantage over one who can not, while
in many Of the large towns Of Eastern Pennsyl-
vania, such as Reading, Allentown, Easton, Beth.
lehem, and Lancaster, it is still almost an essen
tial to success,
As the Republican remarks, there is an obser
vable disposition among our people to make this
Public Schools inferior to none within their pro
per sphere, and it would be surprising il ON a
fair discussian of the question, they should dc
otherwise. II the Public Schools maintain a high
standard Of excellence, they will claim and Sc
cure the respect and cordial support Of the peo
pie, and the taxes paid for them will b.
cheerfully paid, while on the other hand, thei
infenority must weaken them and detract great
ly from the extent Of good which they ought t,
accomplish,
