STRAY NOTES BY A WAY
FARER.

The silver question is coming to the
front. The government has to buy
silver enough every month to coin ST.
5000, and build now and then new
vaults to store them in, as they cannot
be put in circulation. This sure mar
ket for silver enables the silver men
to buy votes and subsidise newspapers.
Now we have more silver dollars than
we shall be able to wear out for some
years, therefore the government ought
to give other folks d chance. How
would it do for it to buy $4,000 900
worth of wheat and store it up? That
would be more honest than TO. keep
buying silver that we cannot use.
The suggestion in the last note can
not be carried out, as farmers are not
rich enough 10 buy votes or newspapers,
but they ought to make themselves
felt in Congress On questions that con
Germ their pockets. Now, silver fol-
change is wanted, and we can put up
with few cheap dollars, but an at
tempt to do away with one and two
dollar bills to force into circulation
silver dollars, even when full weight
would be an annoyance to the public
though it may enrich the silver men
And every Republican or Democrat
that votes to 90 it should have Ions
black mark put against his name.

Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the Conser-
0ative leader, gave notice in the British
House of Commons, on Tuesday after
noon, that the Government would intro
duce, on Thursday, bill to suppress
the Irish National League and other
dangerous societies, to prevent intimida-
ton, to protect life and property, and to
maintain public order in Ireland. He
added that this measure would be follow
ed by bill dealing with the Irish land
question on the lines of policy of the
Land Purchase act of last session. Mr..
Parnell moved that the debate on the
address in reply to the speech from the
| throne have precedence over the bill to
suppress the National league. This mo-
ton was strongly opposed byS Michael.
Nh. Parnell later Withdrew his motion.
Mr.. Ceilings moved his amendment to
the address on the subject of allotments.
Mr.. Gladstone strongly supported Mr.
Ceilings amendment, and the Marquis
of Harrington opposed it. Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach said that the Government
would willingly accept the decision of
the House, as they had assumed office
with reluctance and would resign with,
out regret. The amendment was adopt.
ed by vote of 800 to 250, the Govern
ment thus being defeated. The House
at the suggestion of Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, adjourned until Thursday. The
Morning Post says that the resignation o.
the Government will be announced or
Thursday.

COLOR.

Since the appearance of an article en-
titled, "Color and Form in Schools"
some criticisms, by letter and otherwise.
have reached me, questioning the veri-
fication by facts of some of the state
ments made. A few thoughts, in addi-.
ton, seem necessary. The assertion
that the ability to discern and create
forms, as well as the ability to discern
and create colors, is natural endow-
ment, and, properly trained, becomes an
intellectual possession, is questioned,
not SO much in form as in color. We
all know that color does not exist in an
object, but is dependent upon the action
of light and its impression upon the eye,
and that this impression, carried by
sensitive nerves to the brain, becomes a
conscious fact. All may not receive
the same impression in degree or even
kind but to learn color means to be-
come able to associate certain impress
sions with certain names. To learn
form, size, position, sound, depends up
on the same principle. Light is univer-
sal, so are eyes. If in some the delicate
avenues of transmission from eye to
brain be blockaded, may not the OBJ
struction, possibly, be due to disuse? An
intelligent farmer who had planted, hoed
and dug potatoes for many years, who
was seemingly thoroughly acquainted
with every stage Of their growth, upon
noticing a boquet of potato blossoms in
the house, inquired if those flowers came
from the green house. He had seen
potato blossoms, but had never studied
them. In defective addition sounds
which at first are undefinable become
clear by frequent repetition. l have
known many children from five to eight
years of age unable to distinguish colors,
but I have never known one who could
not learn to do so when they were pre-
scented in their proper relations.

AN AGED CITIZEN PASSES QUIET
LY AWAY.

| Mr.. Peleg Glover, aged 81 years an
one month, died suddenly On Thursda,
morning, Jan. 81, 1886, at the residenc,
of his son, ]. P. Glover, in this city. TIL
deceased was born in Plainfeld, Connee
ticut, from which place in after year
he moved to Oxford, n. Y. In 1913 hi
came to Manitowoc, in this state, wher,
he resided until he came to Kenoshs
eighteen years ago, where he since re
sided. His death was sudden and un
expected. He retired in his usual healtl
on Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock il
the morning his daughter arose to SCI
the condition of the fire her father in.
quired why she was up SO early? In
return. she asked her father if he had
slept well /; to which he answered he
had rested exceedingly well. An hour
later he was heard to utter noise his
daughter Immediately went to his room
and found him dead
Mr.. Glover was man of even tenn
permanent, congenial manners, and read
lily won the good opinions of those with
whom ne became acquainted. During
his long life he was never seriously sick.
This was probably owing to his prudent
care of himself and avoidance of undue
excitement. His mind was apparently
unimpaired to the last, and he kept well
posted on the current events of the day
through the newspapers. No more fit
ting reflection on his long life can be
given than a few lines taken from Blair,
that eminent writer of century ago:
"We follow to the grave one VIII O, in
old age, and after long career Of life,
has in full maturity sunk at last into rest.
AS we are going along to the mansion
of the dead, it is natural for us to think,
and to discourse, of all the changes
which such person has seen during the
course of his life. He has passed, it is
likely, through varieties of fortune. He
has experienced prosperity and ADVERSE
ty. He has seen families and kindreds
rise and fall. He has seen peace and
war succeeding in their turns the face
of his country undergoing many altera-
tions and the very city in which he
dwelt rising in q manner new around
him. After all he has beheld, his eyes
are now closed for ever. He was be-
coming stranger in the midst Of new
succession Of men. A race who knew
him not had arisen to fill the earth.
Thus passes the world away. Through
out all ranks and conditions, one gen.
Grafton passeth, and another generation
cometh !; and this great inn is by turns
evacuated and replenished by troops of
succeeding pilgrims"

EDITOR TELEGRAPH.
The Wisconsin State Teachers Associ-
alton was in session at Madison in De-
cember. Transactors Of business and
elected officers and committees were all
male members.
The report of one committee upon
the question, "Ought the relative num-
Der of male teachers to be increased ?"
was in the negative. An attempt was
made to induce the Association to ex-
press the opinion that the limits of Pub
lie school age should be changed from
four to six years, and from twenty to
eighteen years, leaving the Kindergar-
ten out of its calculation. This effort
was stoutly opposed by a few Eue mem
bers, one Of whom said he believed that
the kindergarten had future, and that
every town of five hundred inhabitants
would yet have one. This speaks bet
ter for Wisconsin's educational future
than the effort mentioned would make it.
