Lieutenant Governor Honey has decided
TO withdraw from the mad whirl of Rhode
Island politics and sever his connection
with the turbulent Senate where his
voice has so often been raised in bold
and effective battle for right. He has
decided TO forego the pleasure of being
tail to the Democratic ticket, TO sacrifice
the salary of $500 per annum, and to
devote bis time and talents to the task OF
unravelling the mysteries of Newport
county lawsuits. His name however will
be held in sweet remembrance for sir
months or so.

Although it is for the rearing of his
daughter, Louisa NJ. Alcott. that the
pnblic most gratefully remembers the
gentle philosopher who died here on
Sunday. that is far from being his only
genuine claim TO distinction. II should
not be forgotten that A. Bronson Alcott
sixty years ago attempted TO put in
practice in the instruction of youth ideas
which are now becoming universally
accepted among educators, and which
have only begun TO permeate our system
Of school teaching. He believed in dew
eloping n child's mind in the natural
way, as a bud unfolds, by gradually
calling into exercise the powers bestowed
by nature rather than making the mind
passive recipient Of a mass Of dry facts
and abstract rules from textbooks. lie
was half century in advance Of his age,
and therefore failed OF practical success.
He was near friend Of Emerson. and
was the father Of the Concord school OF
philosophy. For some years before his
death he had been an invalid.-Boston
