Washington has teacher of men,
ory," who says: '1n few lessons en-
able one to memorizc the most difficult
things without an effort. "
"How can that be done ?" asked a Star
man.
"Oh, it s matter of association ac.
cording to system have worked upon
for twenty-five years. 1t is all based on
the alphabet and numbers. take per-
son and in few hours get them so they
can repeat or reproduce a long poem
which have read to them twice, or, at
most, three times. They can repeat it
backward or forward, and give you any
line you call for by number. | had a
boy about II years old, who, after learn
ing the system, went to hear Beecher and
Cook lecture, and afterward repeated the
lectures to an audience without having
taken a note. he repeated Beecher's
lecture at tho Young Mems Christian
Association rooms on Now York avenue.
OF course he did not give every word the
lecturer used, but he covered every por-
ton in its regular order, just rs the
speaker had done, curtailing it sufficient.

"Yes, great many of all classes.
Some students, eporters-more particu'

House--lawyers and preachers. Preach

to acquire all aptness in rnemorizing their

sons come to me to learn to memorlze

for promotion, and he perfected himself
in the system so that he could, without
difficulty, remember anything he de-
sired.
There is an old lady, between 10 and

1t is estimated that the ten millions of
ballots cast at the recent Presidential
election, if placed in a continuous line,
would reach from PASSPORT, Maine to
New Orleans. But the number of ballots
printed is far greater than the number
actually cast, and at the late election
there were offered to the people probably
not less than 260, 900, 900. This quantity
would load eighty-6Ae freight cars, and
the paper and printing cost about 1924,
900. Pasted end to end, these ballots
would make strip long enough to 20
nearly twice around the globe.

A fragrant example Of judicial stupidity
and want of fairness was given last
month at Exetor. A man was convicted
Of being drunk while in charge of cab,
and although it was his frat ofense he
was fined twenty shillings and costs.
The next case was that of a man con-
victed of knocking down his wife and
kicking her in the most brutal manner
His excuse was that he was roaring
drunk when he assaulted her. 1t will
scarcely be credited, but it is fact, that
the ruffian was let off with fine of ten
shillings and costs.

The Mormons are beginning to discover
that they cannot violate the law with i'm.
punity. In the last six months there
have been four or five convictions for
polygamy in Utah, and two more convic-
tions for the same offence are reported as
having been recently obtained in Arizona.
The best evidence produced in court is
that of the plural wives themselves, who
are usually jealous of each other, and do
not scruple to testify, even when they
know it will send the husband to prison.
May the good work 90 on.

Women AS JuRoRs.--Chief Justice
Greene, of Washington Territory, in his
last charge to the Grand Jury, bears the
following testimony to the good effect Of
women serving on juries: Twelve

served as grand and petit jurors. and it is
certainly fact beyond dispute that no
other twelve terms SO salutary for re.

Boston stockholders in the Union Pa.

ment to withdraw or compromise the suit
against the company for $1,000, 900,
which was brought under the Thurman
Act. Their argument is that if the suit
is pressed they will get no more divi.
dends at present. What concern is it Of
the Government whether they get divi.
dends or not? The stock OF the Union
Pacific was issued as bonus to the peo.
pie who subscribed for the bonds. 1t

On what principle Of justice do the pres

United States shall forego their claim to
the money the company owes them in
order that the spectators who bought
this stock with a full knowledge of the
facts shall get dividends? The reason.

HBNDRI0Ks BLoWINe,

Mr. Hendricks is usually too cautious to
spread himself in the fashion Of Mr. Voluble
Voorhees,, but he seems to be growing less cir
cumspect as he grows older. His demand for
80, 600 Offices for Democrats was not the willy,
non-commital insinuation that one would have
expected from so extended an experience in
balancing ION the fence" when his party's
strongest allies were blowing their breath out
to the tune of ''Civilservice reform" 1t was
incautious. It wasn't shrewd. In fact, it
was stupid It was back-handed lick in the
face of Curtis and Goldman and the variegated
Schurz Even more unthinking- allowing
that it was not malicious-was his reference to
the Cleveland scandal in his Dubuque letter.
And in his speech at Connersville he said Of
his exclusion from the Office he was not elected
to in 1876, 'sit was an infamous outrage" and
adds:
1.-THE Republicans believe it now | have
not found one for long time that was not
perfectly satisfied on that subject"
Such rubbish as this is worse than unbecom-
ing in the mouth Of a man aspiring to the second
Office in the nation, and held fit, by many, for
the first. Mr.. Hendricks can't lay his finger
on single Republican, in or out Of Indiana,
who voted for Hayes in 1876, OF will vote for
Blaine this fall, who is perfectly satisfied chat
it was an infamous outrage" to exclude him
from the vice presidency by the decision Of the
Electoral Commission. We know Of no Re-
publican, and we know q good many more
than Mr.. Hendricks who does not feel ''per-
fectly satisfied" that it would have been an
infamous Outrage to admit him. He had
no claim, no appearance of claim, except by
corruption, abuse and violence, that would
suit cause buoyed by ten thousand better
men than he ever was He was righteously
ruled out, and we have yet to see the
first Republican who doubts it. Such "gos-
tration1 as this, in such a man, is an uncon-
.scious confession of weakness, and conscious
assertion Of what Gulliver's high-minded
horses called ''the thing that is not" The
cipher dispatches fare pizen", to- such fun

MIR. Hendricks said in his Connersyille
speech that the Irish come to this. country
with sympathies for q popular government
honestly and economically administered
They also come with sympathies for a popu-
lar government" that won't build up English
industries by running our own, and compelling
the millions who have lived comfortably by
them to starve or go into new and untried oc-
equations, reducing the wages for themselves
and everybody else by overcrowding them
That is exactly what the Democratic 'tariff
reform means to do, on the pretense of cheap
lening some articles Of home production that
the rd-gronnd labor Of England can pro-
duce half cent a yard Or pound cheaper
The Irish feel no very great interest in
strengthening the grip Of English capital on
home labor that is intended to make American
labor as poor itself, Mr.. Hendricks will make
that discOveryin few weeks.

SOME time since Governor Hendricks, in an
address which he delivered to young men,,
used language which, it appears to us, would
be well for him to apply to himself at the
present time. He said: Zone of the great
troubles with men who have been in public life
is to know when they have got enough, and
how to quit" From the manner in which the
Governor is conducting himself in letter
writing, speech-making, and interviews in
this campaign, ii would appear that he had not
learned when he had enough. We are much
mistaken, however if the voters of this coun-
try do not, at the next election, teach him the
lesson in such an emphatic way that he will
be compelled to conclude that he has had
enough, and will be willing Of his own accord
to quit.

ON the morning Of SEPT. 5, the day Of the

On the morning Of Sept. 8, the day Of the
Maine election, the New York Times said
eTThe Blaine managers claim this year at
least IL, O0O Under the circumstances,
with all the work done by Mr. Blaine in his
native State anything less than 11,O00 would
be a severe blow to his prospects elsewhere.
Nothing under 1000 could be regarded as a
special tribute to his popularity"
On the morning Of the 9th Of September,
the day after the Maine election, the New
York Times said:
''The returns up to the hour of writing
from Maine indicate Republican majority Of
some Il, 900 to $4,000. It gives no
evidence of any such popularity on Mr..
Blaine's part in the State Of his residence as
should have been expected.

HERE is the way the St Louis, Republican
figures out the profits Of manufacturing In
Pennsylvania:
add the wages paid ($134, 0O0, OO0) and the
cost of materials used ($465, 000, O00), and the
sum is $3.50, 100000 Subtract this from the
value of the gross product ($744, 900 ,O00) and
there is left $145, 900, 00O-whieh represents
the net profits of the business. It will be OBJ
served the net profits ($145 00O,O0O) are
greater than the total amount paid out in
wages ($l34, 000,000).
Are there, then, no other expenses than
wages and cost of raw material As Miss
Dartle would say, we simply ask to be in
formed.

KENTuoKY ANp THE TARIPP.

The Courier-Journal as the incora 1erate
and persistent enemy Of that policy which has
done SO much for the industries Of this coun-
try, is Kentucky worst enemy. In the Ian
guage Of one of the leading papers Of that
State while other States have been grow
ing weather., Kentucky has become less So :"
The fault is her own. Rich in natural re-
sources, in fine farming lands and in coal and
mineral deposits, she is content to 60 on in
the good old lazy way of the fathers, raising
enough corn to make a good deal Of whisky,
and, depending on the grazing afforded by her
rich blue grass pastures, she is indolently con-
tent. The infusion of little healthy enter
prise would change all this; would
send tens Of thousands of new
citizens into her borders, build up her towns
with manufactures, and increase her wealth
in every direction. Let Kentuckians once
shake off the drowsiness that has so long hung
upon the State, and take advantage Of the
benefits offered by protection, and we should
soon hear the Courier journal singing another
tune. There is no excuse for Kentucky not
speedily becoming one of the wealthiest States
in the Union Let the Courier-J ournal catch
up with the age, give up its old-time notions,
bend its energies to the encouragement and
development of manufactures in Kentucky,
and it will accomplish tenfold more good for
that Commonwealth than if all the markets of
the outside world were open to America,
which would avail Kentucky nothing unless
she have manufactures. The Courier-J Journal
is dead weight upon the neck of Kentucky.

COMPLAINT is heard of the arbitrary changes
of text books in the schools, and also of the
rule that compels every child to have par
ticular kind and grade of lead pencil. With
out venturing an opinion upon the book ques-
ton, other than to say that these changes are
an evil and an outrage that must invite legis-
latiye attention, if school authorities cannot
make themselves impervious to the destinations
of book publishers and agents, we have to say
that this petty, piddling, ridiculous, prepos-
ferrous rule as to lead pencils, is one of the
things that turns the whole system" into
the contempt Of people blessed with an ordinary
amount of common sense, and rates schoolmen
as a set of impractical and wild-eyed theorists,
if nothing worse.
