The Appeal for MIR. Mcdonald.

Gpecial to Louisville Courier Journal
Matson, Lowry and Lamb, of the Democratic
delegation to the House, called upon Mr.. Cleve-
land to-day to urge upon him the wisdom of
making Mr. Mcdonald a member of his Cabinet
Mr. Cleveland received the Indianians kindly
and cordially, and granted them full half-hour
interview The gentlemen told Mr.. Cleveland
that there was no opposition to Mr.. Mcdonald
among Indiana Democrats, but that, on the
other hand, it was the universal desire of the
Democracy of that State that Indiana should be
recognized with a Cabinet appointment and
that Mr.. Mcdonald should be the man. Judge
Lowry here remarked that if Mr. Mcdonald
was not appointed to the Cabinet, the dis
appointment among Democrats would reach
disrnay. The delegation made brave and
manly appeal for the best and truest Democrat
in Indiana, saying that he had political history
behind him without blot or blemish and that
his body was covered with scars in defense of
the mehonored principles of the Democratic
party.
Mr. Cleveland appeared much impressed with
the remarks of his visitors. 1t was about the
first manly appeal that had been made to him
for Mcdonald. He replied that Mr.. Mcdonald
was always spoken of to him in the most affec-
tionate manner, especially so by Senator Voor-
bees, for whom he entertained the kindest feel
ings and highest respect. He then added:
My mind at present, about my Cabinet, is in
a state of receptiyity. have often found that
the last suggestion is sometimes tho best, and
will not act hastily"
The conversation here driftcd to matters con-
nected with the policy of the next administra-
tion one of the visitors remarking that he trust
ed Mr.. Cleveland would soon find it convenient
to clean out the Augean stables. Mr.. Cleveland
replied to this by saying that his views upon that
question had been publicly expressed IL his let
ter recently published. He added:
II think it wise to retain the friends that came
to our support in the last campaign. 1t is n
question in my mind whether the solid South
can be maintained by the Democrats, and by in
augurating liberal and progressive policy we
may be able to gather many recruits in North
ern and Western States"
Before the Indianians retired Mr. Cleveland
embraced the opportunity of complimenting the
Indiana Democracy upon their aggressive fight
and brilliant victory last November

Essay on Physics.
ID nITMAN

Teachers generally will tell you
that PHYSICS cannot be taught in the
common schools. We will admit that
the teaching of Physics as science
in these schools may not be practical
BILE, and in many schools, no doubt, is
nearly impossible. The time is too
limited, the apparatus is wanting, and
lastly, but by no means an unimpor-
tant phase of the question, the teach
er, perhaps, does not understand it,.
Another draw back may be, and usu-
ally is, in the pupils themselves.
They may be too young, or perhaps
are not far enough advanced in the
other studies for them to appreciate
and understand the science of Physics.
But although Philosophy may not
be taught as science in our common
schools, yet there are many simple
philosophical truths that can be i'm
parted to any ordinary school without
the technical study of science. Techni-
| cal Grammar, or the science or Ian
guage, is too difficult for most chill
| dren to study under fourteen, or per-
| haps even under sixteen years of age,
and one reason why children dislike
| grammar so much is that their teach
| ers attempt to teach the science too
soon, or before they can understand
] it. But although the science of Ian.
! guage cannot be taught, that does not,
| should not preclude the study of lam
guage Language can be taught as
soon as the child begins to talk. It is
not my intention TO discuss language,
| but simply to use it as an illustration.
OF course a child cannot learn much
about nature at very young age.
neither can he learn much about Ian.

very old in order to learn something
about either.
