grammar and arithmetic. They must be
carried into the daily walks of life and
used as occasion demands. The princi-
pies Of grammar enter into every word we
utter and every line We write. When We
are called upon to open our mouth in
speech, We cannot stop to consult Lndley
Murray, or Goold Brown. Branches of
learning such as these must, therefore, be
learned thoroughly, or they might almost
as well not be learned at all. And there
is no trouble in learning them thoroughly.
Let arithmetic be taught with the fidelity
and clearness that it is taught in Warren
Colburn's Mental Arithmetic and Ounce
can learn it thoroughly with but little
trouble. With the study of grammar let
there be practical application of gram
NAUTICAL principles from the start, and the
study becomes q positive pleasure, almost
pastime.

An Ex- Teacher on Teaching"

Under the above caption we print on our
first page an interesting article which
comes to US from that far-off land 'where
rolls the Oregon" The doctrine enunciat-
G in the communication is radical de-
arturo from the theory of the world re-
nowned teacher, the late Horace Mann,
whose watchword was "thoroughness,"
That our friend is right in some of the po-
s tions he has taken we have no doubt.
S ome studies, such as geography, history.
? physiology, ETC., may doubtless be hurried
over without absolute thoroughness and
No particular harm may come from such
work. The man or woman thus trained
knows in after years where to find the
matter hurried over in school, and can
look it up at his or her leisure.
But such is far from being the case with

Before the Democrats decide upon the
next Republican national ticket they
should turn their eyes towards the cut
throat vendetta now raging in the ranks
OF their own party between the friends OF
Lama Democrat" Hill, and of those OF
Lam your only Header" Cleveland, and if
that doesn't convince them that harmony
is not the controlling sentiment Of the
Democratic party, they might put in few
minutes on the twenty cornered fight fol-
the Speakership Of the next House. That

1t speaks volumes for the stability OF
our present system of finance, that the
alarming speeches recently made in the
Senate have not precipitated panic. Not
only has the country escaped the panic
which was threatened few weeks ago
but its finances are rapidly assuming their
normal condition, and confidence, the
primal requisite of commercial prosperity
is returning in business circles. And do
not forget, when considering this matter
that the credit for our present financial
system belongs exclusively TO the Republi-
can party.

Political parties, like individuals, have
nothing to lose but very much to gain, by
being fair. truthful and outspoken. The
best political policy is to say what you
mean and do what you say. President
Harrison uttered an immortal proverb
when he said: He serves his party
best, who serves his country best" 1t will
be found that ''in the long run" it is the
man who is truest to principle and the best
interests of society, who does the most to
upbuild and maintain his party's strength
and influence. The politician who declares
that the old saying, everything is fair in
war" is rule which largely directs his
party action, who warns the golden rule
aud the decalogue to get out of his politi
cal path, may be able, eloquent and hon
ored, but he is. after all, very far from be-
ing the man who serves his party best.
