OPEN THE DOORS.

The selection of st. Paul for the
meeting of the National Educational as
ISOLATION in July was an honor to the
city that is appreciated by the COM
munity. 1t, however, carries with it
labors and duties that are weightier
than many perhaps even yet realize.
The manner in which they are met will
determine whether the community was
worthy the distinction it has received.
The local papers all over the country
indicate general interest in the occa-
sion, and the information and assur-
ances are that the attendance will be
largely in excess of any former similar
gathering. From twelve to twenty
thousand people will be here in attend
ance upon the sessions. A Mis-
souri, paper speaks of a thousand
being in a delegation from that
state. Comparatively few of those
who will come have ever visited st.
Paul. They have favorable impressions
of it as picturesque city and delight
full summer resort, and anticipate that
the doors of its residences will open to
them. They will not expect free enter
tainment. They pay their expenses as
other visitors; but accommodations for
15,000Or more people, majority of them
ladies, require effort in a city of the
size of st. Paul. Every person should
feel personal responsibility in this
matter. There must be no niggardly or
inadequate work. Only full realization
of the magnitude Of the occasion
is needed to effect proper response.
st. Paul has made a good record
when it has had occasion to
show its hospitality, and this must
be no exception. The teachers come
from all sections of the country, and
comprise the brightest minds in the ed
ucatiOnal work. They will spend four
days in our midst, and carry away i'm
pressions to be diffused in communities
in every part of the nation. AS in
structOrs of children, unusual fields of
influence are afforded them. Their i'm
pressions easily prevail with those they
teach. 1t is for the citizens of st. Paul
to form these impressions. Should
there be unhappy room for those I'M
favorable. as due to insufficient appre-
citation and broadening of hospitality.

INDIANS AS RELICS.

There are still fragments of most of
the early Indian tribes of New England
remaining, preserving their identity and
something of their language and Gus
toms, showing that any theories of the
early absorption of the larger tribes of
the West with the white race are fanci-
full. Those New England ones had
about the same rude ways as the West
ern reds, but had to give them up
sooner. A st. PauTparty says his young
mind was wont to be thrilled by the
story told him by his grandmother of
the Indian attack at Hopkinton, N. H.,
when she escaped by jumping from ON
upper window in her nightclothes. A
Massachusetts historical society is en-
gagged in preserving by the photograph
the sound of the language of the abor-
igines. as they will in time lose their
characteristics. They have secured war
dance. songs. snake dance chant and
warwhoops. These will be interesting
relics after awhile.

that he had rented his brains, but not

had some countenance. But the pulpit
rests upon an ethical basis, and there is
no room in it for hypocrisy. The man
who uses it to consent to moral loose

RAD PREACHING

In recent temperance discourse the
preacher urged abstention- from the use
of intoxicants very forcibly. with famil-
lar arguments, and insisted that those
who made religious professions were
under peculiar obligations to set
worthy example. But if at any time
they felt the need of little wine, or
something enlivening for the system,
and were determined to have it, adopt the
Australian ballot plan. He added, ''Go
into the closet and shut the door, and, if
there is need, diSinfect the BREATH" One

urers in the West, a few years ago,

1t would be valuable contribution to
political education in Illinois if the plan
should be followed out proposed by
Gen. Palmer of making a careful can
vass of the state previous to the cleo
ton of the legislature, as candidate
for the United States senate. Gen.
Palmer is good speaker, and man of
broader views than most of his fellow
Democrats. He would make the tariff
the chief subject of discussion, and he
would carry it directly before the farm
ers in every county of the state. AS
the fate of the protective tariff depends
on the moment at which the farmer
realizes how it actually affects his in
terests, a canvass of this sort would
have national Importance. And as
Gen. Palmer is veteran with dis
tlnguished record the prejudice that has
been worked" by the protectionists
heretofore would be easily dispelled by
him.

THE BELLAMY PLAN.

That cooperative housekeeping ex-

gestive of the BELLANY theory, has
been made matter of special investi-
CATION by st. Louis paper. 1t is, like
the population of vast flats in cities
often, the recourse in a large measure
of desperation over the servant girl
problem. The Illinois institution is the
naturalization of the mental fabrics of
a cultured and remarkably bright young
lady. She had read ''Looking Back
ward" and has given practical exhibit
ton of one phase of its domestic re-
gimen. There is suggestion in it of the
cafe of the apartment houses. Each
family has table of its own. and may
use its own setting, silverware, etc.
Economy is not the object. as the fam
lilies are among the most wealthy.
They simply repair to this eating
room for their meals, as they
are sure of first-class fare with entire
freedom from all culinary concern. The

the essentials for wholesome. square
meals, superior probably to those gen.
orally obtained in the best public places.
There are fiftythree persons in this De-
catur club, and the average expense is
less than 13 cents per meal for each per-
son, or about S2.75 per week. The sue
cess credited to this organization has
led to visits from numerous cities with
a view to the establishment of similar
institutions. 1t does not appear that
there is anything specially novel in the
matter, unless it is the gathering of
families rather than single individuals.
No doubt it could be made 70 operate

Its strongest points would seem to be
the financial and sanitary, being cheaper
and insuring the most digestible prep
aration of foods.

congress established, with other elect

announcement of it stirred up things
more than cyclone. At the caucus and

The Electric

The Electric There appears to ex-
ist an idea with some
Line Idea. people that Messrs.
Cochran and Ireland
have built the Grand avenue electric
line with view to establishing sort
of modern Babylon at the Groveland
Park extremity. Half a dozen appli-
cants want the privilege of running
merry-go-rounds. shooting galleries,
bowling alleys and a variety of other in
gradients of pandemonia in that locality
during the summer months, and were
doubtless surprised to discover that
they could not come within a
thousand miles of securing the
privilege. One genius wants to make
balloon ascent from the park every Sun
day, and offers to divide up the receipts
with the city. The wants are not all in
yet, and it may be that few proprietors
of chuck-a-luck boards and three-card
games will make their appearance.
There can be no doubt that the prophet
ors of the line will have bonanza dur
ing the summer months. The spec
tacle presented by each car on a
Gne Sunday is similar to that of bee
hive in swarming time. The assurance
that sufficient number of extra cars
will be put on when the line is reopened
is gratifying, as also is the fact that
round trips will be made on the through
line every half hour.

ing servant, who al
ways accompanies him on his travels.
The servant, who is a South Carolina
negro. has a strongly marked and
rather attractive face, and when he has
the general in charge, he exhibits the
usual outward signs Of African impor-
lance. He wears frock coat and
very high hat, and walks about two
PAGES behind the general. The old war
rior's fondnesS for conversation is well
known. When anything is weighing on
his mind, Gen. Butler must talk it
over with somebody, and in the
absence of close friends he hammers
away at his servant in fashion that is
exceedingly amusing to the lockers. On
a recent trip from Boston to this city the
general was sitting in compartment in
a drawing room car when newspaper
head line of a Washington debate on the
Mckinley bill caught his eye. He pulled
and blew for moment and then began
to express his opinion on the subject
with all the external manifestations of
a campaign orator. AS no one else hap
pened to be near him, he fixed his col
ored servant with the eye which did not
love and started in, hammer and tongS,
on a debate which would have caused
Mr.. Mckinley to hide his diminished
head in shame. The colored
man parted his coattails with
great dignity, sat down directly
opposite the general, folded his arms
and listened with the utmost interest to
every word that was uttered. Once in
every ten or fifteen minutes he would
ask question. which showed that he
was following the general perfectly, but
the greater part of the time he appeared
only as listener. Gen. Butler finished,
mopped his brow with handkerchief
and leaned back in his chair. Then the
servant rose and drifted off to the smok-
ing-car, where he went to sleep calmly
with his head against the window-pane.
Meanwhile Gen. Butler was continuing
the conversation at jerky intervals as
fresh ideas came to him, but he had only
himself for listener.
