The Course Of the Prohibition Party In the
Pending Campaign.
We nave no quarrel with them for being
q party. II is the right Of the American
citizen to 60 his own way; and he has the
same right TO persuade others TO 60 with
him. If he honestly believes that the vel
fare of the country, the cause OF good
government, may be subserved by the or.
ganization OF another party, II is just as
much his duty TO ally himself to II and
seek In every honorable way TO promote its
interests, as Il is to labor for the success OF
one of the great old parties. II he has
such conviction he stands on the same
level as the politician Of any other party;
has the same rights, owes the same duty,
rests under the same obligations. He Is
nothing more and nothing less than an
ordinary citizen engaged In the discharge
Of an ordinary duty. II is to be presumed
that he is sincere in bis beliefs, Just as we
are TO be presumed TO be sincere In our
belief. Beyond this they have no right TO
Co. They may have right to claim that
they are wiser than others II they choose
TO do 90. That is only taste and policy.
They may insist that they are holier-that
is, they have more perfect political evan
gel than any other party. II true, II is
their good fortune. AN parties cannot be
right. All men are not equally wise, but
majority Of all parties are sincere and
have a right to be accounted equally SIN
cere by others.
1t is when the prohibitionists lay claim
to An exceptional sincerity and purity Of
purpose, they ought to deal as they would
be dealt with A man does not mind an
others disagreeing with him In theory, he
is usually willing 10 admit that he may
possibly be wrong; but when one attacks
his motives and bis sincerity he feels like
resenting It.
We are the last to advocate any restric-
tion of individual liberty or deny the right
of any party to elect the policy II shall
pursue. We want what may be for the
welfare Of the nation-the good Of the
whole people. We freely accord the same
to all others. We respect the party of
every worthy cause, and whatever may
make our American life purer, sweetet
and nobler and rebound 10 the public well

The Republican national platform Of

The Republican national platform Of
1868 said: -
II is due to the labor OF the nation that
taxation should be equalled and reduced as
rapidly as the national faith win permit.
The Republican national platform Of
1884 declared:
The Democratic party has failed com
pletely to relieve the people Of the burden
Of unnecessary taxation by wise reduc-
tion of the surplus. The Republican party
pledges itself to correct the inequalities of
the tariff and to reduce the surplus.
The Republican national platform OF
1888 enunciates tho theory that rates OF
taxation should te raised 80 as TO check
our business with other countries, and in
crease the control OF trusts and monopolies
over our people. As producing people,
we should be great exporters and traders.
As free people, we should tolerate no sys
tenn that promotes the enslavement of the
masses by the monopolies.

Kennan. the Siberian Travcler.

Mr. George kennan, who has recently sprung into such fame as Siberian traveller, is not at all the sort of person one would fancy from his writings. In appearance he is slender, pale and shy, and his manners are retiring and modest. He must have started with constitution of iron, and be is much tougher now than he looks. He is in tie employ of the Associated Press at Washing ton, whare he does valued but unnoticed routine work. For years he helped out his salary by lectures in small places on his wan derings, which were always attractive but not striking enough to give him general repu- tation. But his chance came when The Gen. tury opened it's pages to his story.
 This may safely be said of it, that Kennan, unlike many travellers both before and after Mendez, sticks to the truth. He can afford to do so, for he has had some of the toughest adventures man ever lived through to tell about He has told me of one of these expe- riences which have not seen in print While on one of his Siberian trips he was attacked by fever, and lay for three weeks delirious in squalid hut on a sheepskin for a bed quite alone and helpless, save for the friendly care of the natives. Such an episode as that would have made most men content after ward to stay nearer home, especially if they had so charming woman for wife as Mrs. Kennan is. But off he went again, on some incredible jaunt as soon as he was able tc to start.-Once 8 Week.

There has not, in many years, been better opening for giant than now, so the show men say. Any man who measures 71a feet can almost fix his own price. That stature has never been exceeded so far as modern authentic history tells, except by Chang, the Chinaman, whom Barnum exhibited for sev- eral years He lacked only three inches of being feet Chang was an educated man. darin of refined tastes, and after accumulat- ing $50, ,000, enough to make him Wander bilt in China, he returned to his native land No offers have since tempted him to become an exhibit again, and he used to declare that only a desire to journey ill all civilized lands induced him to make his tour, which lasted six years. Peter Feketi, the Hungarian giant, whose death was reported recently, was to come to America during the winter. He was z feet and very heavy. The American giants of recent times, Capt. Goshen and Anna Swan, were all less than that in stature, and they are all dead of con sumption, the common destroyer of such overgrown persons There is not at present in the show business in the country, accord ing to the manager of the largest museum in New York, giant exceeding feet, counting out his hair and boot heels.-New York Letter.

The Schools of Greece.

The present king, George l, came to the throne in 1863. Under his reign educational affairs have moved on faster than ever, until today there are 1000 elementary schools for boys attended by 72,O00 scholars, 27O schools for girls, attended by 20,C00 scholars; thero are over z, 500 teachers, male and female, most of them holding certificates from the normal school, 331 secondary schools with 400 teachers and assistants, and with more than 15,000 pupils, 35 gymnasiums with 216 instructors and 4,7:2 pupils, a university with four departments, 100 professors and 24O2 students, a half dozen normal schools which have supplied over 5000 teachers of late years, polytechnic school at Athens with 24 instructors and 4SJ pupils, a large number of private and ecclesiastical schhols, several large orphanages. as well as night schools in the larger places.
 In 1885 the communes gave for primary education 2,225 GOO drachmai and the gov ernment 100000; and in the same year the budget contained 3,0O0,00 drachmai as the government contribution to higher and sec ondary education. The effect of all this combined effort has been that illiteracy is rapidly disappearing, and the next genera tion of Greeks to man will know hCW to read and write.-"H ". H." in New York Post
