A Revolt Against 81 Literary Educa-
fiOn.ss

Educational theory is one OF the standing
topics OF dispute in this country. The matter
is Still before the judges aud advocates are still
to be heard pleading In favor OF the most diver

great public schools are, as they have ever
In other subjects, too, but not so as TO be un-
faithful to their first love. Their opponents are
many and formidable. The Mason college is
the last and most complete instance OF the re-
volt against literary education. It's founder
has not been content with assigning a subordi-
nate place to literature. He shuts Il out alto

business men aud Iheir Interest I'm th'
Campaign.

One Of the most important facts oil the
present Presidential campaign is the un-
willingness OF a great majority OF the bust
ness community Of the North to allow the
Government to pass into the hands Of the
Democracy. Business men are well salts
fed with the present prosperous condition
of things. Manufacturers are kept busy,
labor is employed at good wages, foreign
commerce shows handsome balance in
our favor, aud money is plenty. In a
word, everything, as far as business is con-
cerned, is in prosperous condition.
Manufacturers, bankers and business
men generally distrust the Democratic
party aud are deeply interested In the Re-
publican campaign.
Three consecutive administrations OF
the Republican party have assured the
people Of this country that their policy is
a safe one. General GarGeld's record on
all business questions before Congress for
the last twenty years has something to do
with the attitude Of these men, contrast,
ing, as it does, very strongly with that Of
General Hancock who has no record in
this regard that could he appealed to for
controlling his coutse,i heshould be elect
ed.
What may be expected II the Democrats
are successful? In this particular uncer'
t.ipty ia found one OF the chief sources oil
weakness in the Democratic party. The
Democrats, who have been out OF power
for twenty years, might hope for success
this year, in spite Of the memories Of the
beaten rebellion, and Of their cry OF Solid
South, ithey could assure business men
that they would not disturb the present
prosperous condition OF business. Their
stump speakers protest that such will be
the case, but their bad record in the past
dispels that hope.
We would dread destruction Of the
public credit and gripping Of manuiac.
turing interests, and a destruction OF the
present successful system Of National
Banks. Contrast this with the present
stable condition Of affairs, and you will
not wonder that the moneyed men Of this
country are justly apprehensive OF the
policy and principles III they have any,
OF the Democratic party.
When We remember the many financial
nanins that have seized the Democratic
party In the past, We have nothing to as.
sure ia that fresh financial mania will
not seize them In the future. 1.-THE past
furnishes any lesson 1t Is that the RepublI.
can party is the only political organization
that cln be depended on for sound imam
cial legislation and administration.
Whatever professions the Democrats
nav make in this campaign 1t Is not in
human nature to believe that they would
consider as sacred the debt contracted to
defeat them on the battle felds Of the
war, andt6 crush their Confederacy. They
have repadlated the debts Of their own

THE value OF the wool.growing interest

OOO. 900 pounds.

States, and 1t Is reasonable to suppose
that these stickers for States Rights will
have more regard for debt that constant
" reminds them OF their Lost CauseP
Every scheme for getting rid of this debt,
in some other way than by an honest pay
ment Of 1t, will be warmly welcomed by
the South: The public debtshould not be
entrusted to an administration elected by
Southern votes and supported by
Congress controlled by Southern menu
bers.
This grave consideration should make a
deep impression upon the business classes
throughout the North. The attitude Of
the Democratic party toward the present
tariff system is another cause for the re-
luclance Of business men to trust them
with the head Of the Government. Out.
side Of the States largely engaged in man
ufaCturing, the party is almost solid in It's
opposition to protection. In the
West and South it openly tavors free
trade. The logical conclusion after read
ing the tariff plank in the Cincinnati
platform, is that the Democracy intends SC
far TO reduce duties that foreigners may
be enabled to fill our markets with Their
goods and undersell American manufac'
turers. Such a policy would
close hundreds Of manufacturing
establishments, thereby deprivinl
thousands of mechanics Of any employ
ment. The Democratic tariff plank NIGH
not be the occasion for so much alarm
we're it not for the great power OF the South
in the Democratic party. Why lake tht
risks Of such party? Will they reduce
government expenses? They will not, be
cause they had control OF the appropria
tiops for FIVE years, and their billsare con
stantly increasing. Will they harmonic
the North and South and end this bite
sectional strife2 Would they improve thu
civil serviceP Not ut all. There is I
horde Of hungry office seekers ready t
seize upon the offices and turn out thu
present well-trained incumbents. In NJ
way can DemOctslic success benefit th'
country.

Catching a Cannon Bali.

Recently. at Leeds, John Holtum, a
gymnast, was charged before Mr.. Bruce,
the stipendiary magistrate, with unlaw-
fully wounding Elijah .FentOn, market
porter, in the Princess concert hall, in
that town. Holtum had, during the
week, been giving performances show
ing extraordinary strength in the hand
ling of heavy clubs, cannon balls, ETC.,
and on Friday night he offered prize
of $3.50 to any person who could catch a
ball fired from cannon as he IHoltum)
had done on several consecutive rights.
The challenge had been accepted by
three men, and cannon having been
placed in position on the stage, suita-
BILE cartridge and ball weighing seven
pounds was rammed home. When
Holtum called upon those who had ac-
cepted his challenge, Elijah Fenton
presented himself, stripped off his
coat and waistcoat, and, standing
about six yards away from the cannon's
mouth, declared that he was ready,
and placed his hands in position to
secure the projectile. An attendant
fred the cannon, when, to the horror
of all present, the ball struck Fenton in
the forehead and knocked him down.
He managed to crawl off the stage, and
at first it was thought that he was not
much hurt. Shortly afterward, how
ever, the case assumed a much more
serious appearance. and Fenton was re-
moved to the Leeds general inirmary
where it was found that he had received a
compound fracture of the skull, and that
his recovery was almost hopeless. The
stipendiary magistrate remanded Hol-
tum until the next Tuesday. Mr.. Hob
son, the proprieto of the Princess con-
cert hall, promised that the performance
in question should not be repeated on
his premises. but stated that Holtum had
been performing on the continent In this
way for FIVE or six years, and never had
an accident of this kind before. =. London
