Two men have at last been con-
yictetl Of violating the Sunday
law in New Orleans. They we're
promptly sentenced by the presld.
ing Judge Mari, but after weeks
imprisonment the Governor par
doned both of them. We do not
admire this action OF tho Cover
nor'.. As long as the law is upor
the statute books, it should b'
enforced, and if it is a bad law lei
the legislature repeal 1t. Out O
about one hundred trials the,
only succeeded in conyicting two
and since they have been pardon
ed, the juries now will disregar'
the law altogether.

Practical Education.
BY L. A. TRAYLOR.

Ishsll now shsw that the mere
theorist looses so much of the real
enjoyment felt, through practical
investigation of things, that his
pupils grow up to manhood like a
vegetable, or like the lower ami
mails, mere imltators Of their prede-
cessors.
There is so very little of ami
nation IN his teaching, that he Is
like one doing over the fire, or
basking in the sun light, with a
dull and stupid gaze. All their
points are matter Of course points,
and what the book teaches on the
subject; and he never applies new
ly aquired knowledge, until the
leading schools adopt it, and it
is written down in the textbooks.
Take, for instance, the the science
of Geolgy, which is yet in its in
fancy, and wo observe 8 science

Change OF Administration.

Before the GUARDIAN shall have
again greeted, its readers q great
change will have taken place IN
the department of the National
pc:crnment. As to What the final
results and cncts Of this change
will be on the American people, OF
coursc no sage is Wise enough 10
roretcll. But We are simple enough
TO believe that governmental NJ
fairs will 60 on some what IN the
same manner as they have been
in the past, and that there will be
but little tangible difference in so
far as we as a local people are
concerned. 1t is true that each
panty represents a distinct and
different principle, and thst the
policy of the incoming admins
tration will be radically different
from the present. But as the
president alone is po1erless with
in himself to cngraft dangerous
changes into the government, and
being strongly checknatsd AID
restrained by the democratic
strength OF Congress, 1t might be
safe to say that the new admins
tration will not have such a de
leterious effect on the country a.
we were at first disposed to pre-
dict. 1t is true We may sGllcl
some grievances and abuses ir
the matter OF appointments, as (:
matter of course there will be
general turning out OF all the ras
calls, but at the same time VIC be
lieye there is enough patriotism
in Harrison, if no is permitted t.
control, to treat US clvilly at leas

that we will not be visited b.

greater flood of light on the con-
s.j,ion of our earth than all the
mere theorists who ever llyed, or
who will everlive? In Tue science
Of Mcteology we may find n place
for the dreaming thcorist, as much
Of it is left to mere conjecture
and having such a diversified
nbenomina before him, lie may
moliry his fancies to an lnnumer
able extent. But thore is much
that is really practical II this
science. and man, facts ss'll re-
main undiscovered for practical
observation. But these bodies be-
ing so far away from us, We must
content ourselves with merely a
view of the Aurora Boreslis, with
out being able to ascertain It's ma
ture, origin, distance from the
earth. and it3 magnetic and cleo
trio fluids, IS no practical 1nSest''
cation has hitherto been able TO
collect with precision, any real
substantial facts concerning it.
We're it not for q few indlvidu-
ais engaged in surveying celsst1sl
phenomena what could we know OF
the new planets which steal IN
upon us, while the sleeping theo-
rists arc recling Oh beds OF down?
1t is through the efforts of a fe"
practical men, who, BY long con
tjnuel observations in every re-
eion of the heavens, keep US space
with these bodies, which roll IN
the far distant regions OF the Uni
verse. If, therefore instead OF a
few individuals engaged in sur
vcying celestial phenomena, AMI
chiefly confined to a small poT''oh

are being taught the mere theory
of this science, with telescopes in

course, as far as human vision car
penetrate, would be thoroughly e1
plored, and the great God more
universally sdored, from a sense
Of the recreation within tie mine
from practical observation OF hi
ominiscence.
From what has been shown Oh
this subject we conclude, that II
order to advance with accelerated
strides the sciences and max
them a means OF mental enjoy
ment, we must discard theories
only in SO far as they serve to az
yelop practical facts, and put til
machinery Of the mind in motto

ton is too little known or appr'

DIRTY TEA.

The Treasury Department Notified of the
Expectation to This Country of Inferior
Tea.
WASHINGTON. Aug 2.-The Secretary of
the Treasury has received letter from
the Secretary of State inclosing a copy of
a dispatch received from the United
States Consul at Annoy calling attention
to the inferior quality of much of the
Annoy Oolong tea exported to the United
States. and Assistant Secretary Itch or
has issued a circular letter to customs Of
fcers on the subject in which he says:
'The statement of the Consul and the doc
uments inclcsed in his communication in
dictate that it is we'll recognized fact
among dealers in China that Annoy Co.
longs are generally dirty, adulterated,
carelessly picked or poorly cured, and
that their reputation is SO vile that all
markets save those of the United States
are now closed to them. A circular letter
issued by Messrs. Russell 6 Co., of Annoy,
speaks of these teas the ,decayed veg
etable matter of China. and states that it
is difficult to understand how, under the
existing inspection regulations. they can
be dealt inn The Consul strongly recon-
mends that no invoices of Annoy Oolongs
should be admitted to entry in the United
States without first being rigidly in.
spected.

YOUNGSTOWN RELIEF.

Huge Balance of Money Left in the
Hands of the Committee.
JoHNsTowN, Pa, Aug. 2-The relief
commission at the close of yesterdays
session made public a report on the finan-
cial part of its work. It is in substance
follows: Received by the Governor,
$780,, 414 46; received from Mayor Grant,
500, 600; received from the New York
committee, $500, 900; received from the
Philadelphia committee, $500 600; received
from the Pittsburgh committee, $500, 600;
grand total receipts, 50. 1894. Ala. 46. The
committee expended in Johnstown. in
Guiding the $500 600 distributed $3.50. ITO 80,
and in other parts of the State $157, 226 81.
This amount, taken from the total re-
ceipts, leaves $1,554, O776o. There was
appropriated in other parts of the State
and yet unpaid, 500. 026 81. The contracts
and bills in hand for Johnstown amount
to $685. 1S9 %. The commissions estimate
for go houses ordered is $52, 600,
making a total of SILL, o. necessary
for outstanding items. This would leave
a balance on hand of ST.. $40, SOL 80. but the
commission figures on getting $3.50, 600
from the Phila deipha committee. and
$50. 600 from the Pittsburgh committee,
making in all 81 G42, Sol 80.

LORD SALISBURY.

The British Premier Sanguine of Peace in
Europe and Prosperity in Ireland.
LONDON. Aug. Lord Salisbury speak
ing at the annual Ministerial banquet last
evening. said his aim in foreign affairs
was peace with honor. The thunder clouds
of war still overcast Europe, but the
issues involved in war would be so fright
full that nations shrank from challenging
one another. Events in Egypt did not
menace the prosperity of that coun-
try. The disturbance on the frontier
would be suppressed. England had
entered into engagements not
to abandon Egypt until the latter
was capable of maintaining her own Gov
eminent in the face of foes and those
Engagements England would assuredly
flu 1f.l. Referring to Crete, he did not
consider that there was any need to fear
that the pres ent movement would lead to
European distur; anee. He repudiated
the remotest desire of seeing England in
possession of Crete. The reports current
to that effect throughout the ointment
were without foundation.
Referring briefly to Ireland. the Premier
held that the result of the Governments
action was the bringing of order and pros
perity throughout the country, and that
when heretofore the peasantry believed
their interest lay in defying he law rather
than obeying it, the feeling was rapidly
disappearing.

Net = Flstsering Prospect For tho s.eeess
OF Its Mission.
TAHLEoUAH L T., Ang. LA great POI
itfcal picnic was held here yesterday and
at least 500 people listened to the opin-
ions of prominent Cherokees in regard to
the present condition of the people.
The Cherokee Commission and their
secretary were given prominent places
and listened very attentively to every
word said. They expressed themselves
as well pleased with the whole affair.
After the spea king, which ended at two
O'Clock, dinner was served with places
reserved for the Commissioners. Five
beeves were killed for the occasion at the
expense of the Downing party.
Prominen men Of both political parties
spoke, upbraiding each other bitterly, but
no disturbance was caused and the whole
affair was quiet and orderly.
Every speaker who mentioned the
Cherokee Strip opposed the sale and es-
pecially at $1.25 per acre. Both parties
are bitterly opposed to this sale and the
discussion of this subject was the main
feature of the day
At $3.50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
Commission had formal meeting, whick
had been postponed from morning, but
adjourned until to-day at ten O'Clock
without doing any thing.
Horace Sutton. secretary of the Com
mi-s sion, said that they would make a
proposition to buy the Strip for 81. 25 per
acre and would request the Chief to assign
the day he would answer them.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.-Mr. Roosevelt in

ANY statement that used any but legit-

such deal was made with my knowledge

ment that the Civil-Service law has been
repeatedly violated with the knowledge

falsehood. Any statement that 1 have

on Government business, is a falsehood.
To be exact should use still stronger
and shorter word than falsehood. l will
enga ge in no controversy with any writer
who falsifies the truth. Hereafter I shall
make no response whatever to any state
ment or accusation in the Post. Taking
