quired unconsciously. These, rather
than any other impressions,
are formed in the mind,
and the mind receives
them without challenge or compari-
son, because it has none other to
compare them with. Consciousness
is only possible in comparison. In
this unconscious way the child learns
the fundamental laws of the world
and of life; it gets the ideas of this
particular world than of any other; it
only becomes conscious where it sees
contrasts and makes comparisons,
And this unconscious acquisition
continues all through life. I learn
to think this rather than that, but
never thought that there could be
any ''that;" when I become conscious
of that [ become conscious of my
thought of this" Thus most of my
unconscious knowledge is negative
rather than positive gain: by it |
am pr vented from going in any one
of an infinite number of ways except
this one. My unconscious knowl-
edge furnishes me with bounds with
in which I move which prevent my
wandering.-John Bascom, in Edu-

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONvEN-
TION.

In less than one week the Demos
cratic State convention meets at
Nashville. There is no denial of
the fact that the action of the con-
vention will exercise an important
influence over the future material
and political welfare of the State.
1t has it in it's power to settle ques-
ton, the discussion of which has
been as disastrous to cur material
interests as Commonwealth, as the
late terrible civil war That lasted
only four years. Our property was
swept away and destroyed. Our
farms and shops were laid waste.
Every avenue of commerce was
closed, and there was no business
going on except what grew out of
the raising and equipment of large
armies, But this had an end, and
prosperity again dawned upon the
country.
The agitation growing out of this
State debt question has undermined
our prosperity and poisoned the
financial atmosphere we breathe.
It has destroyed selfeconfdence and
has given the world reason to look
upon us with distrust and susp- cion.
The Democrats, at their convention
next week, have it in their power to
restore confidence. If they will pass
a resolution ratifying and pledgipg
their hearty support of the settle>
ment of the settlement of the State
debt upon the basis adopted by the
last Legislature, all discord will be
at an end and the question will be
settled on basis most favorable to
the taxpayers of the State If they
were to harmonic on such basis.
there would be very little doubt of
Democratic success in the fall elec~
tions, but the Republicans, whether
defeated or successful, would lend
their aid in carrying out the settle
ment.
But we do not expect such thing
of this convention. Enough is al
ready known to show that the
opposition to the settlement
will be very strong, The most that
we can hope for, is that the question
may be ignored. But we have little
reason to hope for even so little as
that, To ignore the question would
satisfy no one who actually desires q
settlement. It would be cowardly
and impolitic. The regulators viii
not be willing, however, to stop with
that, They are determined, to eth
er repudiate the entire railroad debt
" else scale it below the figures
agreed upon in the last Legislature
Some favor tie former and some the
latter, and we are bound o say the
former are the most consistent.
That the question is to be settled
by the action OF the convention, ano
forever eliminated from our politics
we presume is hoped for by no one
The designing politicians, who oc-
cupy positions as leaders
II the Democratic party, are
determined to force the question
into the canvass of this year, relying

WAsHINGTON.-In civil as in militia
ry life, Washington was pre-eminent
among his contemporaries for the
clearness and soundness of his judg-
ment, for his perfect moderation and
self control, for the quiet dignity and
mdomitable tirmness with which he
pursued every path which he had de
liberately chosen. Of all the great
men in history he was the most in>
variably judicious, and there is
scarcely rash word or action or
Judgment recorded of him. Those
who knew him we'll noticed that he
had keen sensibilities and strong pas
sions; but his power of self command
= ever failed him, and no act of his
public life can be traced to personal
caprice, ambition, or resentment In
the dependency of long continued
failure, in the citation of sudden sue
cess, at times when his SOL
diers were deserving by hundreds
and when malignant plots were
formed against his reputation, amid
the constant quarrels, rivalries and
jealousies of his subordinates, in the
dark hour of national ingratitude,
and in the midst of the most univers
sal and intoxicating fattery, he was
always the same calm, Wise, just and
single-minded man, pursuing the
course which he believed to be right,
without fear or favor of fanaticism;
equally free from the passions that
spring from interest and from the
passions that spring from imagina.
ton. He never acted on the impulse
OF an absorbing or uncalculating
enthusiasm, and he valued very high
ly, fortune, position and reputation:
but at the command of duty he was
ready to risk and sacrifice them all.
He was in the highest sense of the
words a gentleman and a man of
honor, and he carried into public life
the severest standard of private
N rails. 1t was at first the constant
dread OF large sections of the Ameri-
can people that if the old govern
ment were overthrown they would
fall into the hands of military ad-
venturers, and undergo the yoke of
military despotism. 1t was mainly
the transparent integrity of the
cha acter of Washington that dis
PEELED the fear. 1t was always known
by his friends, and it was soon &C
knowledged by the whole nation and
by the English themselves, that in
! Washington America had found a
leader who could be induced by no
earthly motive to tell falsehood, or
| to break an engagement, or to com
NIT any dishonorable act. Men of
his morl type are happily not rare,
and we have all met them in our ex-
perience; but there is scarcely an
other instance in the history of such
a man having reached and main
tanned the highest position in the
commissions of civil war and of
great popular agitation.-A History

tury--Lecky.

Collector WOOdcOck's Case.

WASHINGTON, June 10-Secretary
Folger mas concluded his investiga~
ton OF he charges against William
NJ. WUodcock, collector OF internal
revenue at Nashville, Tenn, and
states that none OF the charges has
been sustained, except in the matter
of discountiug the vouchers Of the
employees of his Office, and that on
this point the proof showed that his
participation in the transaction was
due to good purpose and resulted
i'll no profit to himself. The evidence
was In effect that Collector Wood
cock yielded to the appeals Of his
employees, who represented them
selves to be in destitute circumstan-
ces and in urgent need of
the money due them for SER
vices rendered, and allowed
broker to discount their vouchers,
at the same time acting as their agent
in the matter to a certain extent.
On the other hand, it was shown that
the collector did his best to persuade
the men not to have their vouchers
discounted, but to wait until the gov
ernment was prepared to pay them
the full amount due them In speak
ing OF the case, Secretary Folge1
stated that while Collector Wood
cock had not violated the letter of
the law, and no wrongful purpose on
his part had been shown, there was
no doubt he had acted indiscreetly
in participating in the discounting Of
government vouchers, which, in his
opinion, was an unwise act in a pub
lie officer and one tending to bring
scandal upon the service. The sec
rotary has decided to take no further
steps in this case, and Collector
Woodcock viii not be disturbed.

The Unconscious in Education.

When a child is born we may
imagine that it tries to conceive what
kind of world it is about to enter.
Myriads of kinds of worlds are posi-
sible or conceivable. But which is
to be the kind that it is to enter ?
The child's nerve-particles are III a
perfect chOas, with not a nerve-pro
cess or an idea formed, but only a
general disposition of its nerves
particles, which is to modify the
nerve~processes and the ideas that it
is to acquire, and to thus give it a
distinct individuality in addition to
the individuality that the peculiarly
Of it's experience will furnish. With
this indifference to start from, the
child receives impressions from the
outer world with every sensation
that 1t feels. Every glance shows
1t q multitude Of things
which might have been different for
all it knows, but which, being as they
are, and the child having no different
experiences to compare them with,
make impressions upon It's mind that
are, for the most part, received une
consciously and without surprise.
If the child had any remembrance
of any other kind of world with
which to compare this, it would see
much to wonder at and would be
conscious of every new and strange
experience. But, as it is, nothing IL
new or strange to the child; every
thing makes it's impression on the
mind; and, because there are few
contrasts, few ideas reach conscious
ness. 1t is said that child learns
much more in it's first year than III
any other year of its life, and almost
all that it then learns must be ac-

Our city fathers are again wrest-
ling with momentous question, one
that they have wrestled with in the
past, painfully and at length. It was
too much for them before. They
showed pluck and perseverance in
abundance, but after all there labor
of love, the impression prevailed
that chow not to do it J." was the
ultima thule of their ambition And
We are bound to admit, if this be
true, that the result was a gratifying
success. We refer to the water
works question.
But they have gone at it again
Notwithstanding the rapid eleva-
ton of the mercury, and the depres-
sion natural to the present state of
the atmosphere, they are graphing
with the question again. Perhaps
they will settle it. But they
must have time. They must re~
GIVE propositions and investigate
them. One Of these days, perhaps,
they Will obtain a proposition which
they will accept. 1t takes time to
weigh propositions. And perhaps if
this question was out of the way
there would be nothing before the
city council for discussion. Without
something to discuss, the meetings
Of the board would be dull-very
dul. Aldermanic eloquence is some
thing to which no reasonable man
can object. We see no reason for
discouragement-alter the wind we
shall have water; it Will come III the

upon the frenzy of the mob to carry
them through successfully.
The question is, will the thought
full, honest, intelligent, patriotic peo-
pie OF the State remain quiet and
allow this thing to go on. We have
no idea that the meetings held to ap-
point delegates to this convention
have properly reflected public senti-
ment IN one county in ten. For the
most part the meetings have been
composed of a bakers dozen of ward
or crossroads politicians, led by
some one or more who has some
selfish end IN view. These delegates
will meet, adopt a platform, either
openly for reputation or ambiguous
in its expressions, nominate
candidate, and then they
will call upon all men
who have ever voted the. Democratic
ticket to rally under the ripg-streaked
and striped flag. If they do SO, and
should succeed, we will not under-
take to even predict what the future
of our once proud Commonwealth
will be. That it would be misgov>
erned, misrepresented, disgraced and
degraded, all will expect. If such a
ticket should be nominated on such
a platform, we do not see how any
good State credit man, even though
a life long Democrat, can withhold
his support Of Governor Hawkins on
a State credit platform.
