NEW YORK NOTES.

Joseph Abram Trower, president
of the society of the Sons of New
York, died suddenly on the morn
ing of July 11th, at his home in
Williamsburg, full in years and of
honor. He was prominent in the
affairs of state and of societies for
the brilliancy of the condition and
Improvement of his fellow men.
On Tuesday he attended a meet
ing of the Garfield Club of which
he was prominent member and
made a speech in which he pleaded
i'll health and returned to his home
and died the next morning. The
funeral was preached on Sunday
at the Zion church, Williamsburg,
and was largely attended. Among
those present were the officers and
members of the Society of the Sons
of New York, Grand Lodge, the
Garfield Republican Club and the
Ivanhoe Commandery. The casket
and floral offerings, especially those
from the Sons of New York and
the firm of Robinson Il Co., were
rare specimens of the florists skill.
The executive committee of the
Sons of New York, met at their
headquarters at the Gilbert House
and appointed a. committee and
adopted a suitable memorial.
The annual picnic and Summer
nights festival of the Amaranth

must most largely govern their
course OF instructson. "Studies
are valuable for two things for
the CULTURE they afford, and for
the USE that can be made of them.
The arrangement of the present
course OF study in our High School,
ignores these universally acknow-
lodged facts. AS now arranged
the studies give neither culture
nor useful knowledge but are bur-
dens under which the children
chafe. Their minds are crammed,
not developed--like cisterns in
which the water is simply caught,
held and soon becomes stagnant if
not bailed out--instead OF wells of
water within them springing up in
to everlasting life. Our children
fail to get from the course as ar
ranged the principles which give
the mental life, courage and power,
which they need most.
In the Washington High School
the first year course aims to in
struct pupil in the art of writing
and speaking correct English, but
cur first year course (although our
peculiar circumstances make a thor
ough drill in English absolutely
imperative) begins with Rhetoric
thus the poor children are required
to run before they have sufficient
strength to walk The defcien.
cy Of our children in the two
practicable studies 80 English
and Common School Arithmetic,
is lamentable. The following from
Joseph Payne indicates strikin gly
the direction in which our sch ool
has erred :..-. He (teacher) has
very imperfectly accomplished the
end of his being if he dismisses his
pupils as merely mechanical arti.
sans knowing the HOW, but ignor-
ant of the WHY; expert in process
but unlnformed in principles in
structed, but not truly educated.
1t is the possession of principles
which give mental life, courage,
and power; the courage which is
not daunted where routine fails i,
the power which not only firmly
directs the established machinery,
but corrects it's apparent eccentrl-
cities, can repair it when it is de-
ranged, and adjust its forces to
new emergencies. Take the case
of routine pupil to whom you
propose an arithmetical problem.
His first inquiry is, not what are
the conditions of the question, and
the principles involved in its solu-
tion, but what rule he is to work it
by. This is the question of a slave,
who can do nothing without orders
from his master. Well, you give
him the rule. The rule is, in fact,
resume of principles which some
scientific man has deduced from
concrete facts, and which repre-
sents and embodies the net result
OF various processes of his mind
upon them. But what is it to our
routine pupil? To him it is merely
an order given by slave driver.

IHE kepublican lariff Ke-
vision Bill is made public a,
last. The Philadelphia Times
one Of the ablest journals in
this country comments on it as
follows
And what does the Senate
tariff bill propose in relief OF
either the pressing necessaries
Of business or the common
necessaries of life? Beyond
a severe reduction in sugar
that would simply destroy our
sugar industries without cheap
ening sugar to consumers, what
is cheapened Of Importance
that effects the great mass OF
the people? Wool is increas-
ed, instead Of making it free,
as it has been during half the
history of our government, and
Of necessity, the present tax
Of about 60 per cent. on wool
ems is increased. We say Of
necessity, for our woolen man.
ufactures are SO crippled by
war taxes on raw materials
that they are languishing and
their labor i'll paid even with
tax of 60 per cent. on con-
sumers. Woolens are one Of
the universal necessaries OF
life from the cradle to the
grave; our consumpti o n
amounts to nearly 5000, ,ooo-
900 annually, and instead Of
cheapening this great necessi-
ty, we. go backward even be-
yond actual war taxes and in
crease burdens upon the whole
people only to protect Eng
ligh mills and labor.
The refusal Of the Senate
to give our manufacturers and
our labor the benefit of the
free list Of raw materials, is
simply a monstrous assault
upon American capital. Ameri-
can labor and American con-
sumers. 1t is in defiance OF
the earliest teachings of Re-
publican Presidents Grant,
Arthur and Garfield. and is at
war with every principle Of
justice to labor and justice to
consumers. Itis turning back
ward the hands Of progress
into the darkness Of Chinese
walled theories, and is a fear
full confession that there can
be no relief to either capital
or labor without an imperious
demand from the people in
the coming election. 1t is an
appalling declaration that the
higher war taxes on necessa-
ries Of business and OF life
shall be continued indefinitely,
and that high taxes and low
wages shall be the only hope
of American workingmen. 1t
is the policy Of madness the
policy Of the expressing the
many for the benefit OF the
few, and it is the most fragrant
assault that was ever made
upon capital, labor and con-
sumers since the formation OF
the Republic. 1t is mean par
tisan jugglery with taxation ;
nothing more; nothing less.
