! oUMANIA--ANcIENT DAcIA-Almost t. g
very tuest lines TO be found in Byron |.
Childe Harold are those in which he de-
scribes the celebrated statue OF "the Dy-
ing Gladiator" one of the master pieces
of ancient sculpture Byron imagines
him to be a Daeian, taken captive in his
native forests between the Danute and
the Carpathian mountains, brought to
Rome, trained to the arena, and -'butch-
cred to make a Roman holiday" 1t is
the same Dacia that was conquered by
Trajan eighteen hundred years ago
whose forests and plains resound to-day
with the tramp of Muscovite legions and
the rumble of artillery. The Carpathian
mountains formed one boundary of the
Dacian kingdom in the fest century of
the Christian era, and the Danube the
other. On the opposite side of the Dan
ube, and stretching across the peninsula
from the Danube to the Black Sea for
forty miles are still to be seen the re-
mains OF the great wall that Trojan
built to check the incursions Of the Da-
cians. For nearly two hundred years
the ancient kingdom of Dacia was a Ro-
man province, and Roman colonists set
tied there and, intermarrying with the
Dacians, introduced the Latin tongue
and Roman civilization. From this
mixed race sprang the domains Of Mol
davia and Wallachia, two provinces
which since their Incorporation as a
Prlncipality by the treaty OF Paris have
been better known as Roumania Scarce
ly more than one-third of the Ror-
mains dwell in Roumania. All the 9TH
ers are scattered over different parts of
Bessarabia to the plains of Hungary,
and from the Danube to the Carpat hian
mountains.
In all they are said to number fifteen
millions of people, of whom somewhat
more than Ave millions are in Roumania,
They all belong to the Orthodox Greek
Church, but take their spiritual guidance
from their own clergy. The Rouma.ns
most advanced in civilization are thoss
OF M oldavia and Wallachia They are q
bright, quick, apt people, fond of gayety
and display, yet with sterling qualities
that have brought them of late years very
prominently into notice ss a race that
might easily be welded again into one
nation, under one rule, and interposed |
like a new Trajan's wall between the |
Russians on the one hand and the Turks i
on the other. 1t is a popular error to /
class the Roumanians as Slavs. They /
are totally different race. A Bucharest !
who has made this people |
q study, is of the opinion that ifthe hoped
for confederation of the states of the
Danube should ever be constituted, the
centre of the new union must be found in
Roumania. The establishment of some
such confederation as bulwark against
1he march of Russia westward has long
been considered advisable by the states
men and publicists of Western Europe,
md if kingdom of Roumania were or
sanized to cover the old Dacian kingdom

WENDELL PHlI.LIPS ON THE PUB
Lie SCHOOLS.

Wendell Phillips does not entertain an
exalted opinion of the present public
school system. At the American Social
Science meeting, the other day, he said:
The fact is. many young people, gradu-
ates OF our public schools, are not capable
of any work for which any one should
pay q dollar. Thousands Of our public
school graduates cannot write a decent
letter at fifteen, or even read newspaper
WELL The old New England system,
which made a boy work six months by
his fathers side on the farm or in the
workshop after he had been six months
at school was better than the present
| one. From such system it is impossi-
BILE to get such man as Theodore Par
ker. Now the public school hands
child to its parents with no means OF
earning its bread"
| From this we inter that Mr.. Phillips is
not in favor of giving to the pupils OF the
public schools high school and college
courses. But we cannot see that the pub
lie school system is faulty because lit
hands child to its parents with no
means OF earning its bread" The public
school Is intended to educate the child in
certain book studies, to give il a knowl-
edge of the fundamental branches OF ed
ucation and of such other branches as il
has the time and the capacity to acquire
and the particular school it attends has
the facilities to give TO 1t. This generally
merely preparatory course from which
the pupil steps to the requirement OF a
trade, the pursuit Of higher education
with view to profession In some eases
and in some with no particular end IL

teen or sixteen years. At this age, 1t i
: true, "the public school hands the Chile

special says it is now certain that Illi-

Hayes electors in the person OF Geo. ID.
Chafiee, Of Shelbyville. Mr.. Chaifee is a
United States commissioner and has been
since 1868. This being the case it is not
unlikely that Hayes will get only twenty
electoral votes from Illinois.
