PHILLIPsBURG, KANSAS, SATURDAY MARCH d. 1885.

The most humiliating feature of the
present situation in Wa hington Is the
pressure iOr Office in person az by proxy
Of eX-me MIXERS of Congress. Having
once ed the sweets of official plsi-
ton, few of them eem able Ia res .ra'
their appetiteS, and the scramble is at
once dIsagreeable 10 themselves and
disgusting to disinterested observers =.
Some of the more ambitious ones, who
succeeded in having themselves men
toned In connection with cabinet posi-
lions, or leading foreign missions, are
nnW descend ny to assistant secretary
ships In heir demands, aud by and by
they will be content with cirrkship ia

pass the lequIred examination This Is
the old story over again Of the man who
came here IN Andy JUhuSon's time 10
get u foreign mission. By degrees his
ambition dropped to g clrrkShiD then
to a dOorkeepership aud fn,Ily he
agr eed TO Quit and go home If they
would give him free ticket and an old
pair of breeches. II was only yester-
day that L met a prominent democrat
who two weeks ago, Was confident of
being Mr.. CleYeland's Secre. airy of war.
Now he is trying TO be appointed gov
eminent architect. AnO her such Iall
and 1t Is pitiful To think where he may
be. Another disappointment I'd the eX
pectanU crowds of democratic spOilSmrn
was caused by the administrative re
form Significantly begin at the White
House. L allude of cOUt Sc 0 dismissal
If one half OF the clerical force tuere
IC means a Topping off of clerkships
throughout all the departments, and
the reductions will give that much less
chance for place to democratic uspir-
ants. A democratic p, -ident is a cur
iOsity ard on each day since his Occu-
pancy of the White House, President
Cleveland has given some time 10 re-
ceiVing the crowds Of people who have
gathered about the mansion to catch
glimpse of HIM.
On "Wednesday the long established
day for ca Iinet families, the ladies O1
the new adm nj~tratiOH held their Fl st
reception, Mrs. Hendr cks received in
her parlpr Wizards hotel. Her ROLL

A Question Settled.

The question as to where the county
Normal institute should be held Is set
tied 1t was settled By the Logan Free
man dropping a ton OF bOmbaSt and an
ounce of sense upon it. Read the hOl-
low roaring of an all important, selt-in-
tiated LOganile that sound like bull
dog barking IN a barrel and then talk
abOat s'the wall of q boss of a second
class hash house. - The writer of that
article in the Freeman mistakes bonn
bast for brains, wind for wisdom, and
50 dishes up a mess of gibberish that
conf aims as little sense as truth. 1t is
an easy matter tor man with little re-
spect Tor the truth and still less tor his
fellow men to make such statements as
tine arJicle in question contained. Two
samples of the recklessne Of the state
meuts contained in that article will be
sufic eut to expose the truthfulness( p
of the same: 1.-The Burg Wl.linzly
throws open their doors and welcome
the Normal as a GUdsend, and then
raise The board from SI.OO 10 $500 per
week, - and 50 1t takes as much money
To board 3 teacher in Phillipsburg for
one month as they receive for a months
teaching" These statements would
not be believed if made under oath.

he dirt and snUrts, then snOrts and

bOldest dash or all by expressing the
hope that the county superintendent
will not be foolish or weak enough to
ignore Logan. Heavens! how the
writer must have swelled with selfim
portance when he was delivered OF that
thought. Ignore Logan. Does the
writer mean to intimate that the Super

Logan? If 50 he has mistaken his man
when he thinks to drive our SuperIu-

WASHINGTON LETTER-
From our Regular Correspondent. ]

[ From our Regular Correspondent. ]
That 'hOpe deferred maketh the heart
sick IS what the Democratic Office seek
ers infesting Washington are realizing
now. The old administration is not go
inc half 80 fast as they thought it would
and their long petitions and endorse
ments do nothing towards nurTying the
rascals ont There are rumblingS Of
discomfort, and mutterings Oh disgust
and curses and threats, and a great state
of excitement because Of the uncertain
" that hangs over the intentions Of Mr..
Cleveland and his Cabinet IN regard TO
place giving.
At frst the White House was the
point of seige for the mass OF Office seek
ers, but they soon learned that the Pres
ident would not hear applicants, and
they made a rush upon the new heads
of the Departments. There again they
yet little satisfaction beyond q cOurJe-
Gus RECOGNITION. The new administra-
ton intends to 90 slowly, and if the
a. my of rapaciOus spOils-hunters would
take the hints already thrown out by
president, 1t would sound a retreat
while 1t has money enough 10 get nOmes
It is pretty well understood now that
only u few necessary appointments Will
be made at present. When the impOr-
Uunate Office hunters have gone home
the places to be filled will be gone over
and the men selected for them will not
be IRON among those who charged upon
the president upon his hrst appearance.
The majority Of the democratic con-
gresham are still in the city and will
be passing back and forth from their
homes during the entire recess of con-
gress. They too are lingering to see
Just what they are going to get out Of
their party success. They have left
the CapIt0l building and are now as
sembled in the hotel Hobbies and about
the White House. Their lack Of encOur-
agement in their efforts 10 assist the
new administration in making changes
and appointments has provoked some
grumbling and caused many 70 inquire
if New York is going TO run the sOverD-
meut The Treasury Department Is
now irreVereuLly TeIeried TO as tstbe
New York establishment. " The secCe-
tary aud his assistant secretaries a G
New YOrkers, and there is scarcely ca
Office in the building for which a New
York aspirant has not been mentioned,
Nor is there q vaulbed corridor Fhai
does not echo 20 the footsteps Of 6eW
York Office seekers.

TEACHERS.

The old idea was that any one who
could read and write and cipner and the
like, and was a good scholar in the
books, had all the requirements that
were needed TO teach school. But the
qualifications needed in the teacher will
change as the purpose Of education
comes to be viewed differently. Now
the teacher is not only expected to teach
the essential In ngs that are put IN the
books, but he Is expected to add 10 and
supplement what they give by ii knOWl-
edge supplied by extensive general read
ing. As the principles of education
come TO be better Understood, IL is held
that the true way is TO aid the child, di-
rect MS powers without CramDing Them,
and encourage and strengthen by exam
pie and precept all the qualities which
he will have TO bring into requisiliOn In
his a ter years. This gives q broad ed
ucatiOn but il is what the future is go
ing TO demand, and it will help TO mark
the changes which will take place in
the next lew years, some OF which
are already showing themselves in the
work of those who are thinking while
they work. Less books and more live
ing out in childhood the things that be-
long 70 childhood, just as we must live
out in manhood. Some seem TO think
that the child must be rushed through
books as the only means Of his growth
and improvement. The natural powers
of observation, self-thinking and per-
sOnal independence must be allowed
free action, as they are the foundation
OF all. Youth is the lime Of growing
activity, iuss as adult lie is the time Of
business activity, and books alone can
no more be the means Of furnishing that
growth than they can be the means bust
ness success have known them 10 be
the means OF cramping that growth.
Then let the teacher not be too eager
about hurTylng his pupils along In the
books. Nor should he think that those
Who make most rapid progress in this
respect are in all cases doing the most
valuable work for themselves. Some
times the books need q vigorous letting
alone In order that the natural powers
VII ca are more important may develop.
The teacher judgment must have much
to 90 In this matter. IL IS apparent that
he should undersf and his work rightly.
Those who think that experience and
special study of methods are not ueces-
sary in the teacher, ought 10 take THEN
leisure lime TO study the matter till they
know something about iJ. ! am sorry
that 50 little value Is sometimes attached
TO experience anC really competent
work, hy those TOO who ought To know
the vide ehasm between good work and
poor work In this line and who have ia
hand the business of employing teach
erss improvement Is made by expert,

A Woman at the Bottom.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, October allow
son Graham, member of the New

doing business at so Broadway, in that
city. was captured here this morning,
by the PinkertOn Agency, with $25.OOO
worth OF gold certificates belonging to

and in company with Mrs. Alice
Bramwen, Just as lie was about
to board the Montreal train.
The Elopers had come srom
New York at o'clock the night before,
and were registered by Graham as G. 2.
Goodwin and wife, of Pittsield. Police
Justice Copeland, in spite of an oath
that Graham had stolen $25 900. de.
layed issuing the warrant until 9 clock,
declaring he had no right to do so.
He also forbade the city marshal to ar
rest the man. In the meantime, before
the detective and his counsel succeeded
in convincing the justice that the
warrant should be issued, the prisoner
escaped and was at large at midnight.
Graham made a full confession to the
detective and gave up the money. He
would also have gone back to New
York with the officer who had orders
from Trask & Co. to keep the whole
matter from the police. but the woman
pressed him not to go and he yielded.

English Events.

LONDON, October 4.-The Tories are
not yet ready to begin the campaign
for supremacy in the next Parliament.
Their government has, therefore, de-
cided to postpone the dissolution unbl
the 7th of December. The reason given
to the public for this action is that the
difficulties growing out of the enormous
registration under the enlargement OF
the franchise requires an extended time
tor adjudication and adjustment. The
campaign, when ii does open, will be the
fercest and most thoroughly contested
ever fought in Great Britain. Every
voter in the country, will probably be
reached and interested. In this con-
nection the fact is pointed out
that when the United States en-
franchised the black freedmen. hardly
500 900 votes were added to the list. But
England has as suddenly added nearly
three times as many voters to her
suffrage list, and the addition certainly
contains a larger mass OF ignorance.
Practically, the whole number nave no
decided political leanings. They will
be liberal or Tory according to the in
fluences brought to bear on them. The
result will be stupendous upon the
O6SIl0V Ol El1ZlunN. II 10 AdAA w dcCNAA
that before the close of the campaign.
the parties will have arrayed The old
voters pretty we'll on the old lines, and
that the issue will be decided by the
new ballots The election may decide
whether the English trade policy shall
be free or protection, or whether
the church and State shall be
divorced or remain united; whether
the unificatiOn or dIsintegration of the
empire shall ensue. Whether Great
Britain shall continue to interfere in
foreign affairs. and remain among the
first powers, or hold alOof and fall back
into the second rank. 1t may decide
even whether austOcracy in England
shall continue, and whether the throne
shall remain. The extraordinary situa-
ton now presented is that the Parlia-
ment which may be called upon TO set
tie some, if not all, Of these momentOus
issues, will take its temper from
the chance way in which a ma
iority of the 100000 of new and I'M
educated voters may cast their
first ballot. It transpires that the
eastern policy of Premier Salisbury is
conducted in perfect concert with that
of Prince Bismarck.
The Servian minister has had an Off
cial interview with Lord Salisbury. and
obtained from him an assurance of the
British governments sympathy with
Servia's aspirations. King Milan's
government has been urged by England
to refrain from aggressive action, ana
RELY upon the decision of the powers.
The King has telegraphed in reply that
be trusts in the assurances given him
by England, and that the Servians are
willing to wait for the decision of the
powers, unless events precipitate a
necessity for active measures.
