EDUCATION OF TEACHERS.

The first step upwards is to educate
the teachers. By them alone can the
leaven be used which is to raise in the
masses a taste for music as an art, for
n 'toriously. at present, the taste is not
on a level with the general intelligence
of the American mind or other subjects.
Their study should not be with view to
Individual performance, but should en-
brace the whole ground. The richest
mines of musical wealth lie in concerted
form-ip its sonatas, duos, trios, quar-
tettes. and so on. up to the great piano
and violin coucertos, symphonies and
choral works. They should be masters
of q correct system of harmony, Of CON-
position, and of vocalization. Although
a teacher may not desire to become what
is technically called singer, he may be
placed in a town or city where choir or
"a choral society needs his services, and
one thus called would be poorly fitted
for the position were he not acquainted
with the capacities of the voice.
Indeed, every student should recognize
the necessity of manifold studies, in order
to become teacher Of culture worthy
she name of artist, and should remember
that the diamond is but poor pebble
until it has been polished Oh all sides.

that the English National Laborers' union

They give 6 to the man, 10 shillings to the

The Transportation Question.

The question of cheaper freights is now
prominently before the pubic. Western
farmers insist on lessening in some way the
cost of transpor tation of their crops to the
seaboard, in order to get larger price for
their products at hume. Eastern consumers
desire cheap freghts in order to reduce for
themselves the cost of breadstuffs Boston is
working for more direct communication by
water and rail to Chicago, in order to build
up Boston; New York is striving to draw
all the corn and wheat of the west to that
city, to swell the commerce ard multiply the
revenues of the great metropolis. The pub
lie interest is put forward as the object to be
gained by cheaper transportation, but it is
manifest to any but the most partial observ-
ers that local and selfish interests are the
moving spring of these present activities.
Senator Conkling,-a member of the trans
pOrtation committee of the United States
Senate, and with that committee now travel
ing over the northern part of the United
States, and into the Canadas, and examining
the transportation question, and the qualities
of the wines in the various localities visited
frankly said tie other day in a speech in
Montreal:
"One of the problems of our statesmansbiu
is to grasp for the United States all the car
ryIng trade on land anu sea that We Can WHO
IN tile battle OF competition. Show
! us how to transport cheaply the growth OF
the West into the port of New York, and
our (uationaD debt vanishes like the shadow
OF passing hour"
In short, Senator Conkling's statesmansbin
on this question, ends in building up the
port OF New York. and while be presends
Co believe that will make our national debt
vanish like a passing cloud. this sanguine us-
pectatlon is kindred to that of President
u ant. VINO didn't see how We could paw the
debt unless We annexed San Domingo. Two
thousand millions of debt will not vanish in
day, or year, or hundred years, if the
present schemes for reducing everybody's ex.
