THE dead LANGUAGES

The vigorous protest which continues
to be offered in Russia to what is there
called "the classical system that is to
say, the teaching Of Latin and Greek in
the educational establishments has
found a rather sonorous echo in France,
where NJ. Raoul Frary, late professor Of
the Paris Ecole Normale. writes on what
he calls "the Latin question -: "The
Greeks and the Romans are for US poor
teachers of statecraft. Their idea of
freedom was a very limited one. They
had no conception of a representative
form of government, the only possible
form for a people not hemmed in by the
walls of a city. They sacrificed in
dividuality to the State, recognized but
imperfectly the rights of the family, and
knew nothing of freedom, not even of
the liberty men now claim to live in the
fashion which suits them best" The
dispute as to the utility of classical
studies will go on, We suppose, to the
end of time, and may wen grow hotter
as we approach the millennium, since the
further we leave it behind the more must
antiquity become interesting.
But it has fallen to the French to op.
pose teaching of the dead languages on
grounds other than those usually urged
by practical minds of the nineteenth
century. Only n thing M. Frary seems
to have forgotten, and that is that the
classics are useful to us merely by teach.
ing the difference between the life of the
Old and that OF the New World. 1t is
in looking back that we learn how far we
have gone forward.

ESPECIAL TO THE sENIlNEL.J
SAN Francisco, Oct. 22.-The excite
ment in mining stocks was more pro-
nounced to-day than at any time during
the current upheaval in values. The old
bonanza mine is again the object OF inter-
est. and for the moment is the leading
feature. Con. California and Virginia
sold to-day at 81 62k to 50. Yesterday
morning the best price was SIS 37h.
When the stock was called at the $3.50
session to-day the very first sale was at
ST rs, a gain OF q 81 70 from last nights
closing price. Then it rose to s., and at
the close So rs was bid. Other stocks
we're greatly excited. The business was
very large. On the regular call at IL
O'Clock there was continued excitement.
Consolidated California sold as high as 50,
and then receded to IS rs. Nearly every
stock on the Comstook list advanced at
noon. Con. California declined TO S. rs,
and other Comssocks weakened in sympa-
thy. The closing price Of Con. California
and Virginia was IS.

Bishop whitaker i'm she East

The Rev. David Mcclure, Of Virginia
City, on Monday last, received a letter
from Bishop Whitaker. 1t was mostly of
a business character, yet it also contained
some pleasing news and a kind word to his
friends. Bishop and Mrs. Whitaker are
at the present time guests at the Palmer
House, Chicago, and the Bishop ia very
busy at the Episcopal Convention, now
being held in that city. He writes that he
has a great field for work in the East,
which in the end will have to result in his
giving up everything of a business nature
in this State. He also writes that he and
wife are well and happy. and will visit the
Comstock some time next June.

THE FUNCTION OF THE CAM.
RAGfAK LIE.

The temperance of an old and famil.
lar friend in the shape of the campaign
lie prompts the Philadelphia Ledger to
inquire what in the world is the use OF
it. That journal has observed that the
familiar yarn is always exploded, and
NEARLY always kicks back and hurts the
inventor worse than any one else. "
"Still," the Ledger remarks, "the
stump spouter and the party organ and
the executive committee man must be
doing something"
This seems to answer the Ledger's own
question. Regulation politics will not
permit the established political organs to
attack any live abuses. To do so is "to
make political capital out of business
questions" and to disturb vested in.
terests. 1t hurts no one, as the cam
paign lie is never intended to be believed
save by those who are anxious to be de.
ceived in the interest of their party;
and its most important effect is the an.
nual or biennial contribution of matter
for the public amusement, which though
threadbare is rapidly becoming time.

When the parties boldly take up live
issues with an honest desire to reach a
solution of them they will have no need
of resorting to campaign fiction for fill.

To Regulate Boarding House Butter

The buttermen, as was naturally t.
oe expected, having secured an act q
Congress for tue suppression of oleo.
margarine, are now demanding more
restrictive legislation of the same sort,
I.hey want law to prohibit the use ot
oleomargarlne in hotels and boartiino
houses. This is entirely logical. Hav.
Ing undertaken to prescribe what Deo.
pie shall eat, there is no reason why
Congress should stop at the oleomar-
garine act. Boarding house butter ia
notorious1y disagreeable, and as the
OBJECT OF all government is the hapni-
ness OF the governed, the duty of Con-
gress to interfere is obvious.
Nor need the line be drawn at butter.
boarding house coffee, boarding house
milk, boarding house pie are ali no bet
ter than they should be and are fit sub
Jects for the exercise of Federal
authority. An act to prohibit the use
of leather as substitute for beefsteak
and imposing tax upon saleratus
would meet with universal approval.
AS to boarding house hash, its manu-
facture might be regulated-as reve-
nue. measure-by causing each package
10 oe labeled with the formula employ
ed in its composition. There is a wide
field opened here for the inventive
craftsmanship of the day.
Some persons may think that i'm urp.
ing Congress to tperfectn the oleomar.
garine act $50 that its arouisions NAV
extend to the keepers of hotels and
boarding houses" Mr.. RealIs alleged
dairymen are poking fun at Congress.
On the contrary. they are apparently
quite serious. They are simply seek
ing logical extension of the princi-
pies embodied In the extraordinary act
of the last session. The power therein
assumed is of indefinite application
and may just as properly prescribe in
detail what people shall eat and what
they shall drink and wherewitLal they
shall be clothed,
The resolutions of a handful ofl
obscure persons calling themselves a |
pairyman's Association, or by any
other name, would not be of the slight |
est consequence We're it not for the fact |
hat these are the very people who, by |
lobbying and letter writing and by talk !
IN the newspapers, succeeded in fright |
enlng Congress into a preposterous act,
and even persuaded usually level
headed Executive that it was necessary
% give this act his approval, Having
this-to the astonish,
nent of all sane persons-they now
propose some still more absurd devel-
'pments in the same direction, and
here is no reason, in the nature of
hings, why Congress should not again
hey them. But possibly it will dawn
'pon the clouded Congressional mind,
II considering bill for the regulation
# boarding house hash, that those who
denounced the oleomargarine act from
he start knew what they were talking

The earthquake of 1sll-12, winch
ended coincldently with that which
destroyed Caracas, Venezuela, extend
ed from the the mouth of the Ohio for
800 miles southwards. It was most
violent about New Madrid, and left
the sunken lands of that region on both
sides of the Mississippi and Reel Foot
lake as Its permanent records. The
losa OF life and property was slight be-
cause the country was at that time al
most unsettled.
The only shock experienced in the
United States besides this one was in
New England in 1855. This shock was
severe enough to throw down q. few
chimneys but caused no loss Of life or
serious destruction of property.
The Caracas earthquake in 1912 de-
stroyed $4,000 people. That at Lisbon.
accompanied by tidal wave sixty feet
in height, destroyed between 10000
and 6O, 900 people within six minutes.
The estimates of loss of life in the Lis
bon earthquake vary from 10000 to
60, 900.
Charleston seems to have escaped the
almost invariably destructive accom-
pahiment of the earthquake, the tidal
wave.-It lies so low that q wave OF
half the height of that which destroy
ed Lisbon would. engulf the city aud
the surrounding country.
While the Charleston disaster was a
dreadful calamity, when compared
with the results of former eartho nakes
in America and for tie most part in
Europe, it was fortunate escape when
with the misfur tunes Of I.is-
bon and Caracas, and with many
which have desolated many pnpnlous
country districts, in the civilized and
world.
The regions most frequently affected
by earthquakes are Central and South
America, the West Indies, Japan aud
the islands south Of Asia, and portions
of the Artic regions in America and
Europe. Earthquakes are not by any
means coufined to volcanic areas, but
they are more frequent in volcanic
regions. 1t Is probable that the Char
IestOn earthquake originated in the
West Indies or in the ocean, and that
the motion travelled westward or n0rth-
