THE PROBABLE EFFECT.

Secretary FOSTER and other Repub-
licans affect to be quite happy over the
introduction to the presidential field of
the elements that so recently had their
focus at the chief city on the Ohio. In
some underlined and mysterious way it
is to contribute to the resurrection and
salvation of the Republican party in
the passages of next year. Possibly the
views and participants of the move
ment are to be Sneered into such cOnfu-
sion that the edifce will fall and the
debris all go to the Republicans. The
Republicans did not, however, last year
have much share in the effects where
these elements operated. But the party
that claims this recent birth has it's
inspiration in antagonism to the
policies of the Republican party,
and will hardly consent to die
for its benefit. 1t may not con-
tribute to the success of the Democrats
next year, but no way appears for it to
retard that result. There is no present
indication that it will take away from
the Democratic ticket any state in the
South. The action of the late Demo-
cratic convention in Kentucky is con-
elusive of this. Whatever favor the
Southern Alliance may have for some of
the schemes about silver and cheap
money tariff reform and local rule Will
be dominant, and secure their votes for
the Democrats. Even if Mr. CLEVELAND
is the nominee, his pronounced views on
the silver question will not divert any
of the Southern states. Ohio and In
diana were very largely represented at
Cincinnati, and their members were
enthusiastic for separate action. If they
have much of crowd on the new
line, it will be pretty we'll divided be-
tween the farmers and labor elements,
and there are no present data to in
dictate which party will suffer the most.
But the strength of the movement will
be in the Northwest, and place Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, and perhaps the Dakotas
among the uncertainties politically.
They all voted for HARRISON in 1888.
but hardly any of them are likely to 60
for him in 1892. If the new party can
secure states enough to throw the cleo
ton into the house, it will acquire influ-
ence with the next administration, and
probably insure a growing future for
Itself. The Democrats have large ma
jority of the states in the house, and are
likely to have a decided majority in the
electoral vote.

DoNNELLY FOR PRESIDENT.

Our distinguished fellow citizen, Mr..
DoNNELLY, arose quietly at Cincinnati,
and, so far as the reports indicate, did
not at any time intimate that he was an
eminent citizen before most of his hear
ers were born. Like the rose, if he
blushed at all, it was unseen. Til g
honorS forced upon him he wore with
more than his wonted modesty, and yet
it is rumored that there is a jealous ap-
prehension that the nomination for pre- s.
ident next year will gravItate to him.
Great movements and great men fire.
quently have this experience. The fact
that the brilliant contribution of this
state to this political reformation is al =
ready singled out in this way is tribute
to his genius. The classical poet speaks of
woman who displayed the queen in
her gait. Our versatile statesman could
not repreSS his intellectual stature. He
made his way to the front by innate
strength. The convention was unques-
tionably impressed with his fitness for
the leadership, and as they apply the
cipher to his past career the conviction
will deepen that no other man can sur
pass him in ability to meet the varie-
gated conditions of the new party. If it
has dozens of conflicting elements. he
can fully identify himself with them
all. There is no remembered cause
with which he has not at times been in
fellowship, and no fancy so wild that it
can elude his grasp. His nomination
for president will give the movement a
picturesqueness it cannot otherwise
acquire.

GERMAN IN THE SCHOOLS.

The question of the position which
German shall occupy among the studies
in the public schools of the city came
before the board of education yesterday.
The question was not whether German
should be taught in the public schools.
but it was: To what extent shall it be
taught? In how many grades shall it be
taught? How much time shall be de-
voted to it, and how many teachers
shall be employed? The German lam
guage is now taught in all the grades
above the second. Prior to two years
ago it was taught in the intermediate
grades and above. The question dis
cussed yesterday was between retaining
it as now or combining the instruction to
the grammar and high schools.
On this question an able educator of
German birth remarked to the GLOBE
last evening that in his opinion only
one language should be taught in the
lower grades of our public schools. The
higher grades of our school system have
both the time and the money to teach
foreign languages, and it is here that
they should be taught. 1t is here that
the children who become the leaders of
men are educated, and the study of for
eign languages and literature should be
encouraged. sit is a weak plea" he
added, (which urges that English is not
the only language spoken in this
country. 1t ought to be. Let the time
and money now expended in gaining a
smattering knowledge of a wide range
of subjects and learning but few we'll
be turned to teaching children more
about the history of this country. its in
situations, its system of government,
and in introducing them to the great
thoughts of American orators. authors
and statesmen. But L repeat" said he,
''in the lower grades there should be but
one language. The children of German
parents are taught at home the language
of Germany. If the parental instruction
does not result in success, what must be
the result of thirty minutes tuition
every day by German teacher in pub
lie SCHOOL,"
Time is money. 1t is especially so in
the education of children. they should
pursue the studies which in after life
would be of greatest use to them. Eng
lish is and always will be the language
of the nation, and no other single ac-
complishment can be of greater value
than the ability to use this language
with force. accuracy and elegance. Let
those who have the leisure study other
languages. German, Latin, Ere nch, all
are valuable, aud all are commended to
those who have the leisure to become
accomplished linguists.
The question before the board of edu-
cation is: Can the time of the child
and the money of the parent be put to
better use than in giving instruction in
foreign languages in the primary grades
of the public schools?

WHY INSANITY INCREASES.

The census authorities are judicious
in warning the public not to rely too
much upon the natural conclusions
of their statistics in the matter
of insanity. If the monition We're
extended to most of the collections
of figures from this source, it would not
be misplaced. Charges of errancy in
detail and general could be made to i'm
peach their value. The compilations
show an increase of inmates of insane
asylums in the decade of Il, 1880, or at
the rate OF 1888 per cent, while the
growth of the country was but 22.5 per
cent in that period. This showing
would, without explanation, induce some
solicitude. The suggestion. however,
is that the number and capacity of asy-
lums have been greatly multiplied, and
the remarkable increase of numbers of in
sane persons is in the sections where
the provision for them has been not
ably great. Insane asylums as rule
are well filed. They seldom solicit pa
tronage. The solution of the growth of
the figures is that, as opportunities are
afforded IN asylums, the insane are sent

cared for privately because the asylums
had no room for them have been sent
to the new or enlarged institutions.
The humane tendency of the times has
been shown in the better provision for
them. Still, after all the allowance
made in this direction, it is evident
ly true that insanity is increas-
ing out of proportion to the pop
ulation. 1t is found that the
proportion of the insane is the
greatest where the forces of life are
most active. Indians in their primitive
condition do not become demented, and
it is believed that the proportion is
small among the illiterate classes any
where. The average brain was never
more active than at the present. The
people who are breaking over the old
lines of thought are in every depart
ment. The religious schools are full of
erratics as viewed from the established
obServatories. In politics, the recent
aggree alton at Cincinnati shows some
thing of the range of political and eco
nomic thinking When the gray matter
is kept in such fierce activity it must be
expected that fermentation will increase.

COST OF THE INFANT.

The protectionistS cannot afford to de-
Sert their toddling tin infant. Their
persistent clamor and parade of alleged
American productions, as the fruitage
of McKinleyism, indicate their pur-
pose to stand by the tin industry, at
whatever cost. The duty is not in force
till July, it is true, but its effect has
been anticipated. The advance per
box in New York the past year has been
from 1892 to S5.45. filling the pockets of
the foreign manufacturers. No delay
in the home production has been
caused by the deferred tariff date. The
duty rises from one cent to two and
two-tenths cents per pound. 1t is vir-
tually admitted that the claim that
American manufactures are being
established, and that the consumers
are to be supplied with the home
article, IS pretense and sham. Now
comes the representative of the great
works at st. Louis, the head of which
was in the late congress and promised
that the tin duty would create vast in
dustry, and Insists that they cannot
make tin at less than So. 16 per box, an
increase of 50 per box over the old prices
before it was proposed to raise the duty.
A further duty of two cents pound is
thus demanded to give this infant
chance to live. This means an addi-
tional tax upon the consumers of tin of
100000 annually, or $50, o09,o 900 over
the condition prior to McKinleyism.
This must be supported by those who
have started out to build up this bust
ness, if they adhere to their claims of
its desirabiIity. Perhaps, however, they
will lose their interest in the pretty
little tin specimens with their chromatie
labels
