Interesting Address Delivered by
General John Eaton.
Before the teachers Of public schools and
a large assembly Of others at B'nai Birth
Hall, San Francisco, recently General John
Eaton, the head Of the Bureau of Public
Instruction Of the United States, IL at pres.
emit visiting this coast. The General, after re-
ferring to the growth Of San Francisco and
complimenting John Swift and Superinten-
dent Taylor, said that the utmost care
should be used in selecting teachers.
Changes In methods Of instruction are con-
tinually taking place. Formerly the same
abstract methods that were used to teach
older persons were applied to the youngest
children in the teaching Of language and
improved system o child Is taught much
more quickly by adopting methods suitable
to its age. The speaker was Of the opinion
that if the education Of the children was
neglected. property would be endangered,
and the progress Of civilization checked.
The colleges are beginning to wake up to
the fact that the general method Of instruc-
ton In the common schools 10 better than
the systems they have been using for so
many years without varying. The Import
Of looking after the health Of children
in the public schools was dwelt upon. The
Germans have appointed commissioners to
the causes Of nearsightedness
and color blindness among ths pupils Of
their schools. The speaker urged upon
the audience the necessity OF having 4 II.
brary Of books on methods Of teaching, for
reference, and said that his department in
Washington contained II. 900 volumes and
from $4,000 TO &c, 1000 pamphlets upon edu-
cation. The General also favored the teach.
Ing OF music in the public schools, as con-
tributing to Tighten the labors and making
more enjoyable in after years. In de-
Tense OF drawing being taught he said that
such instruction was necessary for success
in mechanical arts. England at one time
found that France and Germany were sup
her in the market for ceatain kinds
Of goods. A commission instituted in

the boys OF England were not taught draw

THE PLATT

In q paper on "Crime and Its Causes"
read before the Prison Reform Associa-
ton last week in San Francisco by the
Bev. DR.. Plat, he argued that the char
acter Of a man is formed by his home
associations. If the convict is not filed
with the bitterness of despair he has no
homes. The ~unconvicted criminal has
hope, the convict none. Society is ever
afterward his unappeasable enemy 1T
never forgets or ~forgives the crime. To
know him is to shnn him; his life is a
misery. His convict's record is an i'm
passable barrier between him and hfes
pleasures. The moral weakness which
makes the man a criminal remains IN
him. That weakness prevents his sur
mounting the disgrace of a convict's
brand. Once a convict, always q con-
Wet. The speaker argued that the world
would never readmit a convict back to
responsibility. The convict thus Stunned
will naturally seek associates who will
receive him; these lead him back to
crime. Who will receive a released con
Wet, take him by the hand, receive him
in a store or social relation? For him
there is no hope in life. What in mercy
should the State do for such wretches ?
Provide. for him a home. Society should
take care of what society has disgraced.
The convict is civilly, socially and COM
mercially dead. Bury them tenderly and
carefully. Care for him for all time.
The expression Of these sentiments have
tended more to render the Rev. Nh.
Platt conspicuous than all the sermons he
has ever preached in his life. AT the
conclusion of his remarks a number OF
the audiercs.ar are reported to have jumped
nm and assaulted him with violent criticisms.
Mrs. Laura De Force Gordon, chief
among these, pounced upon him and
charged him with being skeptical OF saw
ing grace and an unbeliever in human
worth. Now, what these people find In
DIR. Platt's address to make such a TODD
about is difficult to grasp. That the
sensational journals of the city should
make the most of it in the absence OF
other and more toothsome sources OF
agitation can be more readily perceived.
1t looks as though it were something
startling to find a minister of the gospel
who is possessed Of solid practical ideas
of life, and who is not altogether a sem
timentalist. There is. no doubt that a
man who has once been shorn and dressed
in striped clothes and set within an iron
grating for q felony will forever carry the
brand of infamy about with him. So of
fallen women. 1t is not true that the
world is without sympathy for them.
That sympathy exists and is often warm
and strong. but it is Of an exclusive sort.
Its objects are held at a distance. This
IL human nature and nothing more. The
principle is but one of the many forms
in which the law of self-preservation
finds expression. That society may be
saved, and morality preserved, offenders
against good order must be punished, and
this punishment OF convicts and lewd
women is greatest in the condemnation
and ostracism that society inficts upon
them.

to show the importance Of instructing boys
in mechanical arts, for the future OF the
State depends upon its manufactures. The
impossibility Of the church taking charge
of the education Of the youth was shown
on pecuniary grounds alone. To attempt
such q gigantic task would crush all OF the
churches in the country by conhscating
their property. The high schools were de-
Tended and the necessity for them shown
in strong language.

The Marysville Savings Bank has been
closed by the State Commissioners. The
cause for the disaster is alleged to be the
loaning of money upon lands which have
been seriously injured by the miners de-
bns: Hopes are expressed that the de-
p~ositors may be able to realize most Of
their money ultimately, but this will de-
pend whether ''slickens" continue to be
sent down from the hydraulic mines to

An Interesting incident AT the

The White House since Gen. GARFIELD

interesting incidents. One of these, worthy
of special mention, occurred yesterday.
After the public had been notified that no
more people would be admitted, rough
looking man pressed forward and attemD
ed to pass the guards. He as stopped. He
then asked them to take his card to the
new President, and after great de4l of
persuasion succeeded The guard took the
pasteboard trem blinqly to Gen. Garfield,
and he medjately directed that the yisi-
tor be admitted. The latt r. with pleased

A CLEAN OF DEMOCRATIC
COMMON SENSE.

The action of Senators Bayard,
Hampton and Butler in refusing to
further antagonize the Republicans
in the organization of the Senate,
when they found that opposition
would be fruitless, will not please
the hot>headed, pugnacious element
in their party, but it is the most
sensible course they could possibly
pursue and better calculated to
strengthen the party than a hun
dred speeches from Ben. Hill.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the Republican party has profted
largely by the blunders of their OPP
ponents. The action Of the Sena>
tors above mentioned show that they
appreciatethis, and it is a warning
to Republicans not to expect fur
Their capital from Democratic fool
hardness. Wade Hampton doubt
less has keen recollection of his
services in behalf of the Republican
ticket last fall, rendered in the de.
livery of his Stanton speech. He
has taken a new departure proba-
bly, and means to show that he is
possessed of that article heretofore
SO rare in his party, known as
common sense" .---s...
It will be well for the Republic
cans in the Senate to make note
of this. With the additional power
gained in the reorganization will
come additional responsibilities.
The people will expect more and
must receive more at the hands of
that august body. When our op>

This is true, and it is also true thai
the honest Taxpayers have beer
robbed of millions of dollars through
the ineficiency of our assessment
laws. Under existing laws an hon
est man returns his property for
taxation at reasonable value. But
it is wholly matter of choice with
the property holder. If he wants
to egade Or keep back a portion of
his property, or all of it, if it is per
sonalty he does it. A full and fair
assessment of property in Tennes-
see would add not less than twenty
FIVE millions to the list as reported

Gaines. The legislature should give
this matter some attention, and do
a little legislation in the interest of
the prompt, honest taxpayer.
