WAR ON THE HIGH SCHOOLS.


Germany's Emperor Attacks the
Present Educational system.
Copyright. Is0@ by the NeV York associated
Hess)
BERLIN, Dec. 6. - The Reichsanreiger
gives iH eDtenso an extract that Emperor
William himself selected from his recent
speech on school reform. One point that
the emperor especially emphasized is tue
time lost in the higher public schools in
cranming youths vi Latin q d Crock -
stead OF tue German language and German
history, the growth of German institutions
and the idea Of national unity. Modern
history, he declared, If rightly taught.
would become infaitely more valuable than
the chrouicles Of antiquity.
CAUSE OF MANY ALLEGED EVILS.
How, he asked, vera so many young Ger
mans seduced from the paths OF political vir-
tues How was 1t that Germany produced so
many mudd.e-headed. would-he reformers
of society, 50 many men nagging at their
own government, while commanding the
governments OF O her natiousl It was simple
ignorance, arising from defective education
on the genesis Of modern Germany The
higher schools must mend their methods
They must avoid cramming, make studies
bear upon practical life, reduce a boys
book work aud give more time for healthy
recreation and training OF his body.
FRUIT OF THE SYSTEM.
The prosont system tended toward an
over-production of highly educated people.
lie approved the saying of Prince Bismarck
anent the ahiturienten proletariat, whom be
called hunger Candidates, aud from whom
the rauks of journalism were largely
recruited, forming class dangerous
to society. Journalists, he said, were
high school products run to seed
Abiding t. school ailmonts, the emperor
declared that in the highest classics the
number of pupils afflicted with myopia was
sometimes "a per cent. Of the whole number
of scholars. Finally he declared that no
would not liccnse any more high schools
until their methods were uended.
RESENTED ny THE PRESS.
The newspapers generally resent the en-
peror's references to journalists. The Na-
ttondt Gazette says he speaks on wrong In
formation regarding the conditions OF Ger
man journalism. Instead of journalists
being "hungsr candiiates,n many high
state officials are only too willing to eK -
change their posts for positions on the press
If they can get them. Furthermore, 1t adds
any one conversant with tho work achieved
by journalism knows that the German
press is among the leading factors in in
fluencing public life.
DEBATE IN THE DIET.
The lower house OF the Prusgian diet, af-
ter two days debate, referred the elemen-
tary school bill TO committee. Herr
Windthorst declared that the center party
could not accept the measure In view OF the
way that it aimed at che suppression Of the
Catholic church and involved violation of
the constitution.
Herr Won Gossler, minister Of public
worship and instruction, denied that it in
any way encroached upon the spiritual
powers OF the church.

TRANSMISSION OF BLOOD.
Diphtheria Cured by the Life Fluid
Rats and Mica,

hhLB ana MICA.
(Copyrfgt 1890 by the Nel0 York associated
Press)
BERLIN, Dec. G.-Tho latest developments
of Prof. Kochs discovery OF a euro for
diphtheria and tetanus have been limited TO
tests upon animals until yesterday, when
the remedy was applied TO several human
subjects through thanssusion Of blood from
animals not susceptible TO diphtheria
bacillus or to tetanus. Doc
tors Behring and Kitasato found
that the blood of rats and mice had "a de-
structive effect on the virus OF diphtherla,
while the blood Of raoits transfused had a
similar effect on tetauus. Before trans
fusion the blood must DO freed Of its coag-
lum and otherwise prepared.
TO BE FULLY EXPLAINED.
The Deutcshc Meidiaische W0erchfns6
promises to explain the method fully, no
secrecy being observed in regard TO the
remedy. Profs Secsemen and Bauer,
lecturing before tho Munich Medical
Society, expressed themselves as opposed to
the use Of Prof. Koch's lymph in private
practice until the chances of a cure are
better calculable.
A patient in the hospital who was under
treatment by this method died suddenly as
soon as the reaction following incubation
set in; and 17-year-old girl, who was in-
oculated with the lymph for lupus yesterday
morning in an Innsbruck hospital. died last
evening from paralysis of the heart She
had strong physique, but the reaction was
SO intense that she succumbed.

INGALLS, AND THE ALLIANCE.

List OF the Secretaries.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--The attention Of
Senator ingalls, being called to the alleged
statement of Secretary Turner at the farm
ers' alliance convention at Ocala, Fla, to-
day, that he had offered $4,000 for a roster
of the secretaries of the alliance, he said
that Mr.. Turner had been mislnformed-
that he had never himself offered or author
lied anybody to offer. nor had anybody
in bis name, or with hia authority or by his
consent. ever offered any money for such
information. He was unable to see how it
could have been OF benefit to him in any
manner in the campaign in which he was
enPaQed.

A ARR-APPORTIoNM 4Nr SCHEME
The Republicans Propose One Con-
Rressman for 173,oo1 People.

The Republicans Propose One Con-
Rressman for 1730O1 People.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-It is understood
that the republican members Of tho census
committee have reached an agreement
upon the reapportionment BILL based upon
a representation of 356 members OF the
House. The present House consists of 333
members This understanding has been
arrived at after mature consideration
and consultation with their party associ-
ates on the floor. The ratio of representa-
tion is one member to each 17S,501 of popu-
lation. This is about the lowest number
which will permit each state during the
next decade to retain its present
membership. The states which will
gain representation are: Alabama one,
Arkansas /. California 1, Colorado /,
Georgia /, Illinois ?, Kansas !, Massachu-
setts l. Michigan l. MINES ia 2, Missouri /,
Nebraska 3. New Jersey !, Oregon l, Penn
sylvania 2, Texas 2, Washington l and
Wisconsin /, or "a in all.
THE QUESTION OF GERRYMANDERING.
It is not at all likely that any anti-gerry-
mander features viii be Incorporated in the
apport1oument bill There is considerable
of doing this, and in the opinion of some
members it is doubtful whether congress
Gao enact any provision that
will effectually check gerrymandering. A
meeting of the census committee will be
held next week, and IL is expected that the
bin and report will bs presented to the
House by tie end OF the week, and chat be-
fore Christmas action will have been
reached by the House

Mr.. Cleveland rcbukes the advocates OF
tarif-made high prices and Is amazed at
their denunciation Of cheapness. He is
not in sympathy, he says, with Mr.. Har-
risons view, expressed at Chicngo in
1888, that "cheaper coats necessarily
involve cheaper man and woman un-
der the coats" or Mr.. McKinley's die
tnm at kalamazoo that "cheap merchan-
disc means cheap men," or Mr.. Lodges
declaration at Lowell that "the cry for
cheapness isun-American. A cheap coat
may contain very worthy and patriotic
citizen, and the cheaper tho coat the more
money is there in the citizens pocket to
buy the other necessaries OF life.
"However much" says the ex-Presi-
dent, others may mock and deride
cheapness ard the poor and frugal mon
and women of our land we will stand
forth in defence Of their simple Ameri-
canisrn." Want Of regard for the in
terests Of the masses is Mt the bottom Of
the economic and political blunder en-
bodied in the Mckinley bill. Only o
policy to enrich the rich could have in
duced any set of men to proclaim the
insulting doctrine that "to desire cheap
ness is TO love nastiness and that TO prac-
tice economy and frugality is un-Ameri-
can" Mr.. Cleveland, as usual, goes
straight to the core OF the issue now be-
fore the people.

AMuCH-NAMED TOWN.

Hicksford-B eIfeld- Emporia-Small Court
Docket-Prosperous Cotton Market
Correspondence Of tho Richmond Dispatch.l
EMPoR1A, November IL, 1890.
We are from o much-named place.
Our county town, Hicksford, is the
county-seat, Emporia the name Of the
post-oflice, and Belfield the name OF the
station OF the Atlantic Coast Line, over
the Atlantic and Danville railway. This
state of facts may Thus be partially ex-
planned Some years since the two towns
Hicksford and Belfed were Incorporated
under the name of Emporia. The post
Office here was then changed to Empo-
ria. The charter was repealed after q
few months trial, but the post-oihce
keeps its name, while each town took Its
old name.
CHEERFUL FARlrERe.
Our farmers are in better spirits this
year than for long time. Last year
was most disastrous year aud our peo-
plo had TO call for outside help. Among
others your city responded most nobiy.
We have tided over now and hOpo that
nothing of the kind will ever oyertake
lis again.
TIE ALLIANCE AND TIE ELECTION,
Tho Farmers Alliance is coming TO
the front. While not an alliance man !
heartily approve many of their objects.
The election passed OF quietly here,
and while we are a part Of the noted
Black Belt we carried the county by
nearly three hundred majority. In
point of fact il would have been more
than that number, but one precinct was
thrown out for infomality.
BOBBIYG FBEIGHT-CARs.
The Atlantic Coast-lin and the At
lantic and Danville railroad companies
have for some time past been having their
freight-cars broken open at Belfold and
having considerable freight stolen. At
last two OF three parties have been ar
rested and lodged in jail to await trial at
the January term, 1891. A large guam
tity of the stolen goods were recovered.
The celebrated case Of the Common
wealth rs. Carleton II. Marks upon o
change Of venue from Sussex county,
has been set for trial at our next County
Court, the first Monday in December.
BRILLIANT MARRIAGE.
Quite brilliant marriage took place
at the Baptist church here yesterday,
the contracting parties being Mr.. j. G.
Lifsey, prominent young merchant OF
this place, and Miss Hattie @. Davis, the
lovely and accomplished daughter Of tho
late W. @. Davis, Esq, Rev. p. t.
