Editor Register: Having read with great
regret the structures upon Colonel CoWard's
course as State Superintendent Of Education,
having had considerable intercourse with
him in his official capacity, and believing
the criticisms unjust, it seemed not wholly
out of place for me to say word. He needs
no defense, and, perchance, least OF all from
me- His language may we'll be, non tau
o,lriHo egeo. Fully comprehending the hour
and its needs, and cherishing the deepest
love and pride for his State, he has dedi-
Gated heart and soul to the upbuilding OF
the common school system Of the common
wealth. He, with all advanced and right
thinking men, realizes that the hope of the
future is to be found in the proper training
of the young.
Imbued with strong sense OF the lmpor-
tant work entrusted to his hands. he is Wig
orously pushing progressive and scientific
ideas into every schooi-room throughout the
State. The efforts to bring all the teachers
under the influence of proper training, as
set forth in summer normal and various
county institutes, show that he strongly be-
lieves in the saying, GAS is the teacher so is
the school," He knows that stream can
not rise higher than the fountain. His
earnest words are still burning in my ears
Colonel Coward is not the man to assume
such a high trust, feeling that the scantiest
discharge of its duties will satisfy his own
conscience or the people who honored him.
Upon every occasion he has magnified the
teachers calling, and as faithful apostle of
the "new education" he is disseminating
his views among those who ill-appreciate
the cause and look with no friendly eye
upon it. Doubtless he has too often found
that public opinion has to be educated up to
"the height of this great argument"
No one feels more keenly the obstacles ly-
ing across his way as with limited means he
is faithfully and nobly striving to solve this
problem of problems. He is not afraid of
criticism, for his deeds will aVouch him a
conscientious steward of this great public
interest. Hypercriticism and quibbling
will but grapple to him those who know
the man.
Never can 1 forget the earnest solicitude
and attention to details manifested by him
at the institutes for colored teachers. "In
thoughts thatbreathe and words that burn,"
he depicted the teachers task to those who
were to be his co-workers With quicken
ed pulse and increased faith in our work we
involuntarily cried out 1T is good to be
here!" 1t was my privilege to know Gov.
Thompson while he was State Superinten-
dent of Education, and that same high esti-
mate of the office held by him is shown by
Colonel Coward. The forward movement

HAPPY AT LAsT.-Bishop Williams OF
Connecticut, is celebrated as rdccateur.
He tells of Cananian lady who, for years
lived unhappily with her husband. The man
was gay, easy-going fellow, but his wife's
temper was ungovernable, and at length
drove him into premature grave. AT his
death his wife seemed to feel great remorse
for the past, and deep mourning and con-
slant weeping bore testimony to her grief,
Some months after the funeral she went to
a spiritualistic medium and was placed in
communication with the spirit of her de-
parted spouse. A long conversation follow
ed, during which she asked: care you hap
py now, dear husband ?'' "Oh! very hap
py," he answered. "Happier than you
were in this world ?" she asked: "A th0u,
sand times" was the reply. "I'm so glad
she said; land where are you, darling %
ooh! Pm in Ill.," came the reply.-Bos-

John Bright, the English statesman, has
written a letter in which he says: "Ameri-
ca, France, Germany and Russia, which are
protected countries, are suffering more in
the present condition of trade than England.
The English working classes were never so
prosperous under the protective system as
they are now. Protection will never be
tried again in this country. Blaine, in adj
vocating protection, talks after the same
fashion as the English Tories of forty years
ago.

Cleveland's majority in New York would
be as large if not larger than his own major
ity in 1916. Cleveland's nomination he con-
