Their reasons for taking this step are
not secret, and prominent member Of
the Alliance said:
'The entry of the Alliance into poll

terest in the prime objects of the organi-
zation, and the recent actions of the
County and State Alliances having
shown that all who will not follow the
behests of coat tail politicians and swal.

field Sub.Alliance is much displeased at
this prostitution Of the organization,
which is still worthy of great veneration
in its true conception, and has decided
that rather than be compelled to give up
their manhood and the inalienable right
to think and vote as the m embers choose,
they will leave the organization to the
fate which is yawning to receive it, if its
present policy and leaders are followed"
There was no opposition whatever to
this course. This Alliance never has
made a mans political faith the criterion
by which his loyalty was to be judged
and to have such criterion thrust upon

a Wild Scheme.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 26.-W. r.
Vaughn, of Omaha, Neb.. formerly may.
or of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and man Of
independent fortune, according to hiS
own statement, made an address tonight
to large assemblsge of colored people
in the Metropolitan Colored Methodist
chdrcb, in which he proposed that the
negroes demand of the government pen
sions for all ex. x.slaves. Mr. Vaughn is
the author of bill which WAS introduced
in congress at the last session making
provision for carrying outthis proposition,
but as very few people had ever heard Of
the bill, it was with. evident surprise
that his audience listened to his re-
marks. Mr.. Vaughn said that as the ne.
groes had been held in bondage in this
country, and had added materially to its
wealth by their labor, without receiving
in return any compensation, the country
necessarily owed them debt. He VAS
in favor of paying this debt by issuing
four hundred millions of dollars in bonds
to run fifty years, and drawing interest at
the rate of two and "a halfper cent. a year.
This sum, he said, would enable the
government to place upon the pension
rolls every negro that had been slave.
he argued that this scheme would settle
forever the race question, inasmuch as it
would do more to put the negroes on an
equal footing with the white people than
any amount of education. It would also
have the effect of building up the South,
because most of the money would 60
into that section. Mr.. Vaughn assured
his hearers that if they aided him by
using their votes intelligently there
would be little doubt Of securing the pas.
sage of bill giving them the money
they desire. he said he had already
corresponded with senators, representa-
tives and other prominent men on the
subject, and he read letters from Senator
Cullom, Peter Studebaker and others
showing that they Endorsed the PROPOSE
ton. He had also written to President
Harrison, but Mr.. Harrison had replied
that he did not have time to contribute
to the discussion. He held that the me-
groes should sever their connections with
every party except the one that give them
their rights in the way of pensions, and
urged them all to become agitators in
order to accomplish the object in view.
During the course ofhis address be WAS
frequently applauded.-Raltimore San.

HIGHER CHOICES.

The effort of the real educator is to di.
rect the growing mind in its search for
truth; he keeps life, its duties and cares
constantly in mind. Man is at the top
of creation, but he has in him the pas.
sions and tendencies of the lower races of
animated existence. 1t is practical
question the teacher must deal with how
to direct the pupil so that he will choose
the higher and not the lower objects that
come before him. 1t is a problem by no
means yet worked out how. in presenting
the ordinary studies the pupil will ac-
quire the habit of making higher Instead
of lower choices.
This is q problem of large magnitude,
and no educator should fail to consider it
with care. live state it more practically
it is this: So to teach numbers, for ex.
ample, that the pupil becomes stronger
morally as veil as Intellectually. There
are many who deny the possibility of
doing this; intellect they say is one
thing, morals quite another. There is a
growing class, however, who believe that
education means more than intellect
that it means the whole man. DR.. Fell
lenburg made this'a maxim, so did Pes
talozzi, 80 did Froebel The theory of
the New Education is that all right
knowledge tends to right action. Its ex.
ponents would reconstruct extensively
the course of study that is now followed
in both public and private schools.
A teacher who has attained a worthy
eminence tells US that his constant ques-
ton when he came before his class in
arithmetic, for example, was "Why do
I teach these children arithmetic ?"
That is just the question an educator will
ask himself in every study he urges his
pupils to attempt. 1t is a proper que8.
ton. Would that it were oftener asked !!
The real teacher, mark, the real teacher,
will ask good many questions he is not
able to reply to, but it is good thing to
ask them after all.
By much questioning, by still more
thinking, aboy of educational principles
will be reached and the teacher will then
