Afternoon Session,

After the disposition of some business, George
P Brown, president OF the Indiana State Nor
mai school. read paper on ga ella ssiication OF
knowledge" The paper was lengthy, learned
and interesting. OF the study of the classics,
which has occupied much OF the time of the as
ISOLATION, he said: mo translation can equal
the original language in giving expression to
the thoughts and experiences of people. This
must be so for the reason that languages are the
spontaneous products of races, and would.
therefore, naturally be the best expression of
their thoughts. If would come fully into the
experiences of the Greeks, who are at least my
spiritual ancestors, as portrayed by Homer,
must become Greek in thought and feeling,
and this is possible only when 1 am Greek in
Language. He, therefore, who would master
the great iteratures of the world must master
the languages in which they are contained. For
sucn the study of the Latin and Greek will not
diminish, but increase, rather, and instead OF
the meager results from our present study of
the classic languages there will he those VINO
can think in Greek and Latin as easily as in
English. There is another reason for some study
OI Jne Latin, and even of the Greek, by those
VINO will have neither time nor disposition for
tnls higher culture and enjoyment, but who

cited the fact that General Manager Marvin

MIR. Turner Arises to Explain.

WASHINGTON, Aug 29.-In your issue of
this date have observed an article from the
pen of "a reporter of THE REPuBLIcAN" Civ
ng q report of an interview had with the COM
missioner of pensions, Hon. VIM. w. Dudley,
relative to the arrest of Gould p Austin, an
ex-cerk of the pension office, yesterday,
charged with defrauding pensioners and gen.
eral crookedness," while holding or since
holding clerical relations to said office, and
which article concludes with an innuendo,
whether designedly or not l am unable to say,
and casts a reflection upon my reputation,
both socially and professionally.
The reporter says: "Mr. J. Thomas Tur-
ner counsel for Austin, is claim and pen
sion agent. He has had frequent business be-
fore the pension Office. Among AuStn's effects
a letter from Turner aDaS tound-the italics are
my own.
Now, sir, for the benefit of those whose
good opinions | DESIRE and without the re-
motest aim, purpose, or wish of seeking or of
acquiring notorieUy, l deem it proper to state
that was totally ignorant of Mr. Austin's
arrest on yesterday, until called upon at my
law Office by n gentleman in the employ,
believe, of the pension Office, with request
from Mr.. A. to come to Judge Bundy's office,
on Louisiana avenue, near by, and it was
from the gentleman mentioned that learned
of Austin's arrest, at the instance of the COM
missioner of pensions, upon the charges
| stated.
Mr.. Austin desired my services as lawyer
| to appear and defend him. He sent for me
as he would have sent for any other attorney
in whom he had confidence. Simply this and
nothing more.
/ made Mr.. Austin's acquaintance through
| professional business connections long before
he was appointed to a temporary or any other
clerkship in the pension office, but fail to re-
call to mind ever having had any correspond
ence with him whatever at any time. / may,
however, have written to him, and that, too,
while he was a clerk in the pension office,
but if did l emphatically declare and deny
ever having addressed him q letter upon any
subject that will not bear tho most critical
| investigation, and leave me free from even o
suspicion of unprofessional conduct or reflect
upon my honor as n man and citizen.
l am not merely claim and pension
agent" as your reporter insinuates, but am

AcceleratIon OF Machinery.
Boslon Commereial BlAIetin


A factor often overlooked by statisticians
in estimating the capacities of our mills and
factories is the marked increase in the speed
of machinery brought about within few
years. Thus the cotton machinery of Lowell
has been accelerated 30 per cent. within a
dozen years, and while there are now, 2,000,-
600 cotton spindles in the United States
against 100000 in 1870, the actual pro
ductivo capacity of the mills is more than
doubled. The consumption of l,9S5,417 bales
of cotton in the country for the ten months
preceding July /, 1888, against ], 1,073, 600 bales
the annual average for three years beginning
with 1869, corroborates the above estimate,
The same holds true in woolen manufactur-
ing. The faster speeding of the machinery
has been coupled with a considerable enlarge
mcnt of the cards, and the the increased
production largely benefits the consumer, of
course, by materially cheapening the cost OF
making goods.
