Whispering.

There is probably nothing SO
detrimental to the preparation of
lessons, and so annoying to the
teacher, and yet which is so hard
to control, as that of whispering.
| have heard a very few teachers
say that they never had any
trouble in preventing whispering;
but always doubted such state
ments, owing perhaps to my own
misgiyings. Why this is the case
does not all seem strange. It il
natural for children to whisper,
Would that we could confine it
alone to children as a natural in

4 DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

The elections throughout the
country OH Tuesday resulted in a
complete democratic victory; not
democratic i'll narrow or partisan
sense, but in the broadcast and most
patriotic meaning of the term. The
result of Tuesdays elections means
that the people have grown weary
of the corrupt and corrupting
methods employed by the republi-
can party managers, and they have
entered their protest against con-
tinuance of these methods. The
people have triumphed over the
worst elements in our politics, and
men of all parties have cause for
rejoicing.
New York gives Grover Cleveland,
democratic candidate for governor
more than one hundred and seven

the rear and elects demeeratio gov
ernor by a plurality of over 5000.

Texas has an exclusively democratic
representation. Kentucky has prob
ably elected two republican mem
bers, w. w. CHlbertson and John
d. White. Tennessee has chosen
eight democrats, J. ID. Tillman, in
dependent, carrying the Fifth dis
trict, and the result in the Third be-
ing in doubt between d. c. Trewitt
and George G. Dibrell. The demo
cratic central committee of Pennsyl-
vania claims is out of q members.
Arkansas has possibly elected John
A. Williams, republican, in the Sec
ond district. The republicans of
Minnesota and Nebraska claim full
delegations. In Maryland the Fifth
district is in doubt, and Andrew G.
Chapman may win, while Montgom-
cry Blair was defeated in the Sixth
by i. Z. McComas, republican. In
Indiana William Z. English was de-
feated in the Seventh district by
Stanton J. Peelle. In Massachusetts,
w. w. Rice, republican, has a ma
jority of 1890 in the Tenth district;
William Whiting, republican, carried

wonder why it is that children
are so addicted to the habit that
1t IS impossible to break them of
1t. But the why's and wherefores
OF whispering do not engage the
teachers thoughts as much as that
practical and difficult part preven-
ton. In this matter as well as in
most Others much depends upon
the Ingenuity OF the teacher. One
teacher can make a certain plan
work. while another will fail with
it. 4
l should ut first say nothing to
pupils about the matter, but should
arrest every one l detected whisper
ing, by a look which would show
that | did not approve of it.
should not permit single instance
to pass unnoticed, yet | should
say nothing until | found that
this plan did not work well; then
would combine another with it.
Here | sould tell the pupils that
their whispering prevented them
from getting their lessons, and
greatly annoyed me, and that at the
close OF every half hour recitations
would be suspended from three to
five minutes, and they might use
this time for whispering. This
with the regular recess, would fur
nish sufficient time for all commu-
nication necessary. l have also
used the priyation of recess with
good success. But in the establish
ment of this law, in fact any other,
it is necessary to enlist the pupils
in favor of it. Explain to them
that you do not deprive them of
their recess because they have
committed a wilful act, but as a
means of aiding them to be more
careful and watchful in keeping

The General Result.
The Chicago Times.

The democrats have probably
elected Grover Cleveland governor
of New York by 10000 majority;
Robert e. Pattison governor govern
or of Pennsylvania by plurality of
81, 900; Benjamin f. Butler governor
of Massachusetts by majority of
10000; Clifton r. Beckinridge con-
gressman-at-large from Arkansas by
nearly 10000; William B. Bate gov
ernor of Tennessee by 5000; Thomas
NJ. Waller governor of Connecticut
by $500; Martin Y. B. Edgerly gov
ernor of New Hampshire by small
majority; John Ireland governor of
Texas and Hugh S, Thompson gov
ernor Of South Carolina by over
whelming figures; William R. Myers
secretary of state in Indiana by less
than 900; Thomas Ruffin judge of
of the supreme court of North Caro-
lima by several thousand; and Chas.
C. Stockley governor of Delaware.
In Colorado James B. Grant, the
democratic nominee, has carried the
three largest counties in the state by
small majorities.
The republicans chose James w.
Dawes governor of Nebraska by a
plurality of $4,000, and reelected
H. J. Spooner and Johnathan Chace
to congress from Rhode Island.
The most noteworthy event in the
congressional contests is the defeat
of George Nj. Robson in the First
district of New Jersey by Thomas
M. Terrell, by 500 majority. In
Connecticut only the Third district
is left to the republicans, w. w.
Eaton having defeated John r. Buck
in the First district. Georgia chose
a full democratic delegation, leaving
Emory Speer and w. H. FELTON, out
in the cold. Louisiana elected all
the democratic candidates except in
the Third district, where William
Pitt kellogg leads. The democrats
of Wisconsin claim the election OF
Daniel II. Sumner, Burr w. Jones,
Peter V. Deuster, Joseph Rankin,
add Andrew Haben. L. w. NJ.
Mackey, republican, carried the Sew
enth district of South Carolina.

perhaps has a majority over all his
opponents. In order to make Mr..
Jones' victory more sure men from
all other parties joined with the
united democracy in rallying to his
support. The magnitude of MIR.
Jones' vote, shows clearly that party
feeling was in a great measure set
aside, and that he won the hearts of
the people by his straightforward,
manly canvass, and his honest une-
quivocal way of stating his opinion
upon public questions.
IOWA COUNTY.
The result in Iowa county-the
election of the entire democratic tic
ket-is a glorious victory, and the
oldest inhabitant cannot call to mind
as complete democratic triumph in
all the years that have past. The
ticket was composed of good men,
whose nomination was secured bylno
outside political influence. Their
election is a fitting endorsement of
right political action.

statement of the votes polled in

rality of 592 over Hazelton. The
