nothing, except to create possible feeling
of distrnst in some minds. Unrest is not
beneficial to trade, and the country does
not wish it to be cultivated. The people
of the nation want rest from the debate,
and unnecessary creation Of friction. The
tariff bill will very soon prove its worth or
demonstrate its errors. Let the people
therefore be content to wait for and dis
passionately judge the practical workings
of the new law. There is to be accom-
plished no good result, there are to be
reached no just and definite conclusions
by partisan conjectural debate. Let poll
ticians be given to understand that they
will not gain advantage by playing upon
any possible doubts and fears of any of the
people. The demand is for fair opportunity
to ascertain whether the country will not,
as the Republican party contends, accom-
modate itself to the changes effected, and
continue in and augment its prosperity.
BISHOP GILMoUR, of Ohio, has excom-
muricated the editor of the Catholic Knight
The Judgment was that the editors paper
was "a falsifer of law and Of fact, and a
cesspool of scandal" If it were given to
some authority to stop the mouths Of all
papers that are falsifers of law and fact,
and cesspools. of scandal, it would have a
considerable task to discharge and steady
employment for some time. 1t is the bane
of journalism that there are many papers
conducted for the apparently express pur-
pose of misrepresentation and of character
wrecking. But then, if anything should
be attempted to curb this order of journals,
the guarantee of the freedom of the press
would intervene, and the prohibition ofcen-
sorship estop the effort. And it is best.
For, after all, the severest of censors is the
reading public. If it disapproves the scam
dalous course of paper, it has methods Of
accommodation, not so direct perhaps,
but quite as potent as those of the church.
The public acts more slowly than the
priest, but ultimately the unreliable, falsi-
flying and scandal-monging press will find
its level, and meet its punishment.

determined to leave the state, upon
which the San Antonio Express per

might go forward hand in hand. and
that their ultimate destinies might be
joint and not separate. He recogniz-

school children in various cities of
America and Europe is that the average
of pupils who have defective hearing is
26 per cent. There were twice as many
with defective hearing among backward

Teachers are strongly urged to keep in
mind the liability of existing impair

their best ear toward the desk, or teach
them in separate classes. All boxing o!

the hands of Bro. Duncan for that
expressed purpose, and the property
is now held ard controlled by n
stock company composed of the por-

The stock of the Exchange was
swept away with the Exchange as it
was publicly sold by the creditors OF
that institution, and the whole pro-

it was incumbered. The new cor

A Journalistic Success

One of the most striking;vnd interest;,.
features in the record Of American ;orsn.S
ism Is the remarkable and almost nhsno na'
email success of the Texas Siftnps s,os,as
in Austin, Texas, May 2, 1881. ia poo"
larity with the American people was r fn,Is
attested from Its inception. It stesdiIv /.
creased until at the close OF its fifth ""
ume the sales of the paper reached a. mn
each issue. Before that time the princrsl
office of publication was moved to Nsw
York, as there was not facilities in Ts,s.
for printing and distributing such lsrrs
edition.
When the Siftings appeared as sixteen.
page paper, price 10 cents, the improve
ment in the paper was 80 marked, and Ia
new features were SO unique, that the cl,.
culation has increased more than tventv
per cent. during the six months ending
November last, and is now over. one hun.
dred and ten thousand copies each issue,
Texas Siftings is probably one Of ths
best known. aud is certainly one Of The
most popular, humorous and literary ps.
pers in the world.
We take it that the secret of its success
ia the fact that its proprietors keep abreas,
of the times, add new aud original features,
to il as fast rs they can be obtained, and
secure for its columns the best talent that
can be found in the country.
With such humorists as Alex. E Sweet,
j. Annoy Knox. and A. Miner Griswold in
the editorial department, and as artists
Thos. Worth, McCarty. Wolf and Yer
Beck in the artistic department, it is no.
much wonder that Texas SIftings has taken

It is claimed by the Republican
statesmen in Washington that the
new Government of Brazil should
not be recognized by this Republic
until after the people have voted
upon it and accepted it. The Gar
of Russia maintains the same lofty
position. If the majority of the
Government should be small some
such statesman as Mr.. Edmunds will
hold that we cannot afford to recog-
nize o Government which cannot
show a two-third maj ority in its ia
vor. Then in 1892, when the Dem.
Gratis elect President in this coun-
try, some of the European powers
may withdraw their countenances
from this Republic upon the ground
that it is not being conducted in q

FIGURES AND DESTINY.
Letter 20 My Parents.
NUMBER 81


To the FREE Pass.
Ny DEAR PARENTs:-I did not dis
turb you during the Christmas, bu
as this joyous season is about over
and you are about 10 enter on The
duties, trials and pleasures OF a new
year; il would be well enough for yor
to carry the interest OF your chindrer
along in yonr tolls and prayers.
Many of you on the first OF the
year will start your boys 10 school
The cotton is picked. The rush il
over, you can only let him so for {
fow months till cotton will call hin
again. A father, you go to the teacher
with your boy, and say, there is my
son Joseph, I haven't had chance to
send him TO school much. Have beer
in debt, and trying to pull through
He will soon be grown. He knows
but little. Sayl Prof. cant you LET
him give nearly all of his attention
to figures? I can only hope to give
him something like mere business
education, I thought after while,
if got able, and could keep foolish
ness out of his head, l would send
him to some commercial school, and
finish his preparation for business.
Yes, business; and many of us never
get our minds above business. 1t
becomes the central thought around
which all the rest OF our thoughts
cluster. 1t disturbs the family quiet,
guards the incentive to education
and loads the boys with numerous
silly ideas incompatible with tie
genius of true manhood. Do not
understand me to be opposed to a
thorough business education. This
is COOL. In fact almost an indispen-
sable, I favor it, teach it, encourage
it. But do not let this be your rul-
ing motive. The true aim of edu
cation is to develop the combined
manhood, of your sons, the PHYSICAL
mental and moral. You confine a
big soul down to mere money values
in life, while it points for living &C
tivities nobler, truer, higher. Take
care how you bind in letters. The
soul that you thus bind may have
in him living fires that only need a
touch of some gentle hand to make
them burn into usefulness and dis
tinction. Show the boys the true
aim of life. and while you are pre-
pairing them for commercial contact
with the world, prepare them also
for brain and soul contact. Be care
full that you don't make thing OF
less significance, the most prominent
thing IN his life.
While you have only marked that
boy to figure on the value of cotton,
God and destiny may have marked
him for the senate chamber or q
Bishops chair. Don't be too hasty in
selecting for him. Let the wise
teacher assist you in selecting a
course of study that will properly
balance and properly develop the
mind. The Importance of great care
at this point cannot be over estimat-
ed. We believe that true education
is being deprecated by this super
fcial business education craze. 1t is
expanded, well balanced, intellects we
need-cultured minds, cultured
souls. Prepare, first for great des-
tiny and then for figures in business.
Your son.
