The PeOnlc in a CroMd.

The number of people who can estimate the number of people in a crowd is very small. Fill the anphitheatre at the Fair Grounds to its capacity, and n half dozen men will esti- mate the number at all the way from 30,OO0 to 100000. The tendency is always to ex- aggerate. The fact is that, allowing IS inches space for each person, and occupy every available inch of it, and not to exceed 15, ,000 people could be accommodated, while, as n matter of fact, not more than 12,000 people could be crowded ill with any approach to comfort.
 Old soldiers who have had opportunities to judge of the amount of ground covered by a given number of soldiers, are equally at fault. The same tendency to exaggerate is shown ill the estimation of the number of men, in marching body. You will read that q pro ceSsion was four hours passing given point, and that there were 50, 900 men i'll line. That is all nonsense. Fifty thousand. men could not pass given point on paved streets in ten hours. It must be remembered that two and a half miles an hour is unusually good time for the movement of column. Twenty miles day from sunrise to sunset was con sidered good days march for a large body of soldiers during the war.-Police Captain in Globe-Democrat.

The School of the Future,

Referring to English progress in educa- tional methods, or rather the power of tradi tion to prevent progress, brings out the marked contrast with our own country, where the power of tradition Is at its mini mum. The ideal school of the future, now clearly conceived by our best educators, is one that shall educate the whole being; in tellect, morals and physical powers having proportional share in the care and discipline of the masters. It is not enough to thrust religious teachings out; moral teaching must come in. Nor is it enough to build gymnasi- ums for sport; there must be systematic cult ure of the whole body on physiological prin- ciples. Manual training is an admirable supplement to mental training, but the ideal school is that one which provides for the whole person that which trains him as unit. Professor Woodward states the defect of our system when he says, "There is wide con- viction of the inutility of schooling beyond the primary grades. "-Globe-Democrat.

HEAR another of these wild, woody free traders talk "The tariff ought to be care fully revised" he says, with view to cor rect any inequalities or incongruities that have grown out of the change of values since the passage of the act of 1888; every imported article which does not compete with our domestic industry and is essential to the comfort and wants of our people should be placed on the free list; every raw material of industry which does not com pete with our own productions should be especially selected for the free list" Who was the wild free-trader that talked such heresy as this Was it Mir Mills Not much. It was John Sherman of Ohio, United States senator and one of the leaders of the republican party.

Swedish Settlers in Maine.

In July, 1870, fifty families just from Swe- den reached the heart of the Aroostook will derness in Maine, where, for their accommo- dation, were already erected 25 rough log houses, each standing in 5 acres of cleared land They went to work in their new homes, and now, IS years after, New Sweden, as they called the colony, contains 700 inhab- itants, 70 good log houses, B one and half story frame houses and 40 log huts. There are 130 farmers in the colony, owning, on an average, 30 acres of land each. There are shingle mills, cutting 65,000 shingles a week, postofices, 8 churches, stores and school houses. A starch factory is erecting, and on all hands are signs of thrift and pros perity.-New York Sun.

what they were before the war, and that they have been three times largely in creased since the passage of the Morrill, tariff act of 1861. Such excessive protcc- tion not only ceases to diversity production, but forces labor into protected employ ments. If the present rates of duty were high enough during and since the war, when home industry was burdened with heavy internal taxes-with stamp duties, income taxes, and high rates on raw materials then surely they are now too high when all these taxes are removed.
 The present tariff system is. in many respects, unjust. It makes unequal dis tributi.ns both of its burdens and its benefits.
 There ale only two ways to reduce the tariff. One by raising the tariff to prohibitory height, which nobody advo- cates the other, the free list, is the honest revenue reformer's hope.
 The duty must be levied on the raw ma terial or on the manufactured article. Ii you levy it on the raw material you dis criminate against American labor, and If you levy it on tue manufactured article you discriminate in favor of American labor. You must have either protective tariff or a tariff which discriminates against American labor.
 There is large, perilous and growing surplus in the revenues. it must be re- moved, not by needless and eNtravagant expenditures, not by abolishing the proper taxation of whiskey and tobacco, but by freeing entirely those great necessaries of life which enter into the daily consump- ton of every household, and by wise and discriminate reductions.
 The free list might be enlarged without affecting injuriously single American | interest.
 The arguments contained in the aboTe paragraphs are irresistibly convincing for tariff reform. They are not the wild vagaries of free traders or the speculative theories of college professors but the utter ances of solid, substantial men whose opin- ions on political matters may be deemed to have some value. They ought at least to appeal to republicans, for the men who gave voice to them are men whom the y de light to honor. The first paragraph is from President Grants annual message of 1874, the second is from speech delivered by President Garfield in 1870, the third is & declaration made by Senator Sherman in 1872, the fourth is from President Arthur $ an aual message of 1882, the fifth is from { speech which Congressman Long made ir 1884, the sixth is the opinion of Senator Henry L. Dawes, the next voices the senti ments of Congressman Henry Cabot Lodge, while the last is the opinion of thai ideal republican, Congressman William Mckinley.
 There can be no solid objection to tariff reform on the part of republicans wher they look to the opinions of such promi nent republicans as those mentioned above.

GIVE US REFORM.

Those articles which enter into our manufacture and are not produced at home should be entered free. Those articles of manufacture which we produce a constituent part of, but do not produce the whole, the part which we do not produce should be entered free also. Among these are fine wools, dyes, etc . These articles must be imported to form a part of the manufacture of the higher grades of woolen goods. The introduction, free of duty, of such wools as we do not produce would stimulate the manufacture of goods requiring the use of those we do produce, and therefore would be 6 ben eft to home production. There are many articles entering into home manufactures which we do not produce ourselves, the tariff upon which increases the cost of pro- ducing the manufactured article. All the corrections ill this regard are in the direc- tion of bringing labor and capital in har- mony with each other, and of supplying one of the elements of prosperity so much needed.
 Duties should be so high that our manu- lecturers can fairly compete with the foreign product, but not so high as to en- able them to drive out the foreign article, enjoy a monopoly of the trade, ,and regulate the prices as they please. If congress pur- sues this line of policy steadily we shall, year by year, approach more nearly to the basis of free trade, because we shall be more nearly able to compete with other nations on equal terms.
 It must be remembered that the present duties, taken together, are far in excess of
