MP CU4U BERLAIN,S REFLECTIONS

Mr.. CHA UBERLAINS HEFLEtIIoNH.
Mr.. Chamberlain is a diSlntercStcd spectator
Of public events in America. During his re-
cent visit in the United States he made close
study of obstruction methods employed III Con-
crc,S and Of the measures adopted by the ma
iorty for securing the transaction of public
business Having witnessed the permanent
paralysis of the legislative functions of Parlia
mcnt at home he WAS an intelligent critic
abroad The results of his observations and
reflections are contained in an article published
in the current number OF The Nineteenth
Century" 1t may be a surprise to some Of our
Democratic friends the enemy to learn that 50
consistent Il Free Trader and 50 radical a poll
tician as Mr.. Chamberlain is able 10 discuss
dSpassiona.ely expcdients for disarmng fac
tious minority which they have been angrily
denouncing a. agencies of tyranny and Op-
preston. We commend his moderation and
philosophic reasonableneSS to the imitation Of
embttered partisanS on the Democratic side.
Republican procedure in the present House
is illustrated by Mr.. Chamberlain by calm
and accurate account of the passage of the
Mckinley Tariff bill measure for which. aS a
Free Trader. he can have only a strong feel
ing of aversion. lie does not hesitate to de-
scribe the system employed by the majority as
drastic in its application and mercilcsS in its
effects ia suppreSsng debatc but he is so un-
prejudced and candid As to concede that the
methods by which this measure and other bill,
were passed have not excited "any particular
Indignation" IN the United states and that the
public has accepted with equanimity the con-
clusion that " the primary duty of Congress is

who thoughtlessly makes such remarks
before these little parrots. for certainly
OF that miSchievous bird do they remind
US. or the child who repeats what she
thought was said in all earnestness? We
know ii is very hard matter indeed
for the poor mother, whose house
hold duties bear so heavily on
her, TO satisfy the curiosity of her little
ones, and at all times to measure her
words. But mothers, be patient; answer
them to the best of your ability, and we
are sure that in your bright, Intelligent
children you will feel amply repaid for
your trouble. Let fall before them no
careless words, and you will not be in
constant dread lest they make some ir-
relevant remark, causing the blush to
rise in your cheek. You will soon feel
the deepest pity for the little boy or girl
who is the butt of their companions
raiilery because mother or father have
given some ridiculous answer to ques-
ton which was doubtless asked with an
eager desire TO learn.
1t is sad awakening when child
begins to realize that his parents have
not been true to him. Parents, your
children soon enough begin to doubt.
and learn to go elsewhere for the knowl-
edge which shonld have been cheerfully
given them at home. We do not want
10 be tiresome, but we do want to feel
that when our little ones stand up in
defense of something they have said,
they need not fear to say, Il know Pm
right; my mother told me So" but may
firmly hold their ground, feeling certain
that mother or father would not have
told them anything that was not right.
