OF course, We do not know just what Mr..
Dickie may think he means by the word
authentic but we do know that the inter-
view was had with q Journal reporter sub
stantially As printed. The statement of a re-
porter, trained to the work Of taking the ex-
pressions Of men, is worth vastly more than
the denial of an individual who finds that he
has said what he didn't intend to, or said it in
. poor way. Denial is an old and worn-out
trick, and we are sorry to see noble Prohibi-'
tionists taking it up.

THERE is a bill now before Congfess, intro

the establishment of q national geological
park in the immediate vicinity of Washing

vancement of science, and the instruction

lishment would be a great addition to the at.

Americans are justly proud. The geological

capitals are regarded with great favorTby the
people, and, besides being a great soircs Of

THE New York Labor Assembly whichIexi
PEELED Henry George made short work Of him
when his case came up. The charges stated
that he had visited Washington and immedi-
ately afterwards advocated the afiliatiun of
the United Labor with the Democratic barty;
that he had distinctly stated. contrary to the
constitution of the United Labor party, that
he would vote for President Cleveland, al
though he had previously denounced him as a
corruptionist. A speaker who seemed to
voice the sentiments of the entire assembly
said: "Mr. George and those paid by him
have said that we are the tail of this Repub-
lican party. II we are to be a tail to any
thing, / would not be the tail to M ignorant
Democracy. He tried to render This party
impotent He has not been present at a
meeting since the last campaign, nor has he
paid his dues. We have bounced others very
unceremoniously. We should do the same in
his case, and even quicker. because he is more
intelligent. The only thing that keeps Elm
from being in line with us is that he is asdis-
gruntled, disappointed ofice-seeker." The
motion to expel him was adopted without d
dissenting vote.

SOME individual, signing his letter "a. A.

Pioneer, has this statement:

the south side of what is known as the Circle,

Morton. Great in the amplitude of his polit-
ical sagacity, great as patriot and statesman.

however, did not alter the justice Of the
teachers criticism. Much Of the cumbrous
machinery of the public schools is the work
of persons who have little practical familiar
ity with the capacity and peculiarities of the
juvenile mind, and base their elaborate educa-
tional methods upon theories which can only
be true of mature intellects, and not then in
variably so. Teachers of experience and
clear Judgment, when expressing their prl-
vate views, invariably condemn many feat
ures of the system. but it is an iron-clad af-
fair, and they are allowed no liberty Of action
under it. The schools will be improved when
the opinion of such teachers is sought in re-
gard to existing methods and their advice
asked upon proposed reforms and changes.
This will not be done, however. while school
boards and superintendent assume that all
wisdom is born with themselves.

The Chicago bureau" through q CORE
spondent of the Chicago Tribune travelling
through the northern part Of the State for the
purpose Of creating a division among Repub-
licans, received some valuable information
from Mr.. w. b. Knisely, Of Columbia City,
one Of the delegates from that congressional
district. It Is thus reported:
what is the situation in the Indiana dele
gationf"
ct is simply this: Indiana is for Harrison.
II the country wants to carry Indiana it
should be willing to let Indiana Republicans
have something to say about the nomination.
] attended the conference of delegates at In
dianapolis, . few days ago, and the feeling
there was admirable. Neither Mr.. Huston
nor anyone else has any Harrison or nobody
programme The general talk there was in
favor of fair play to both sons of Indiana, and
If the admirers of both men will behave sensi-
bly, and honorably / believe one or other of
them can be nominated"
LET me give Judge Gresham's friends q
word Of advice: The Indiana delegates have
been elected and instructed to vote for Barri-
son. They have a duty to perform and they
intend to perform it. But in being for
darrlson tney are nct necessarily against
Gresham, and If the friends of the latter will
stop 'nagging the delegates, stop asking
them to do things which a sslf-respecting
man cannot do; stop trying secretly to under
mine and destroy Harmon; stop trying to de-
ceive delegates; stop rousing antagonism and
bitterness and that combativeness which is a
part of human nature. there will be no trouble
about getting the Indiana vote for an Indiana
man at the proper moment. The delegates
from this State are thinking men. They ara
observers; they know what is going on in the
whole country and are neither blind nor fool
ish; they are fully competent to take care Of
Indianass interests. and are not going to be
led into q fatal wrangle by the indiscreet and
unfair talk of the partisans on both sides. The
true friends Of Judge Gresham would do well
TO let the delegates alone"
We commend this to the Chicago bureau.

THE action of the Chicago Council shows it

The i~nsolent aggressiveness of these classes is
doing more than all other causes combined to
increase and solidify the opposition to the
liquor traffic. The brewers are even worse
