The Democratic leaders of this
country are particularly unfortunate
where the business interests of the
land has been concerned. They are
too ready to shout themselvs hoarse
over claptrap theories and often shut
their eyes to facts Hardly a ques-
ton as to finance, manufacture, do
nestle or foreign commerce, has
come up In twenty years in which
they have not Numbered into the
wrong position. Soon after the war
the leaders with Pendleton at their
head, made a spectacle of themselves
on the currency question. Following
that they more wisely confined them
selves in their party platform to a
proper denuncations of republican
extravaganza and corruption. Some
thing has been learned even by the
Bourbons. On the promise of simply
an honest and economical govern
ment they succeeded in getting Cleve-
land into the presidency in 1884
But the Mills bill, while in some res
poets not bad, yet in others because
of its unfair scheduling was de-
cidedly Objectionable, robbed that
party at the next election of the van
tage gained in 1884
Last fall when tired of the dan
gerous partisan exhibitions by the Re-
publicans in the house; of the wanton
disregard of platform pledges by MIR.
Harrison's administration on civil
service and other reforms, of
Tended at the audacity generally OF
small men in high places, and last
of all incensed at the passage of the
infamous Mckinley bill, the country
again went Democratic. Since that
that time several costly blunders have
been made by Democratic leaders.
Mr.. Cleveland has put himself on re-
cord against his party on the silver
question. Senator Hill has artistically
straddled on the tariff; in Michigan,
Ohio and New York, congressional
district gerrymandering, planned by
Democratic leaders, have all combin.
ed to show what an infinite capacity
for laundering at the wrong time the
leaders of this great party seem tC
have and with what remarkable stu
pidity they jeopsrdize the chances Of
party success.
Among Republican leaders the
same illustration of unwisdom, and OF
blind, bigoted and inexcusable folly
is observable. President Harrison's
obstinate refusal to countenance any
modification of the Mckinley law
the enormous appropriations of the
Fifty-frst congress, the failure tc
redeem the pledges of the last Re.
publican national platform, the neg
lect to provide an adequate volume
of currency for the growing business
needs of the country, all combine to
show what marvellous capacity fol-
bluEdering Republican party leaders
possess in common with those of the
Democratic party.
All this does emphasize the neees-
sity of a radical change of leaders in
the management of these two great
parties, if their future influence in
national affairs are matters of any
concern to DECENTRALIZATION Cham.

County Uniformity.

County uniformity gives a unity of
action all over the county. The need
Of this benefit and noble boon to edu-
cation is apparent to all. '1n union
there Is strength, and in division
weakness" is an old and true adage.
The objection so often raised that
county uniformity does not give
broad enough scope to the teachers
and pupils; that they become narrow
and bookish on that account is easily
answered by the fact that not narrow
ness to one set of authors is the
trouble in our county, but on the con-
trary an utter want of knowledge of
any author whatever is the greater
fault. For every one that county
uniformity will narrow down in
breadth of book knowledge or origin
al thinking, it will raise hundred up
to realize that we do have a complete
curriculum of books, and that study
of the complete set is necessary to a
proper cultivation of the mind. This
unity of action will do much to arouse
the public sentiment to a realization
of the fact that we are not paying
that attention to broad, feasible set
of books that absolutely must be stud
led to make even a proper thinker.
1t Will do much to help the masses to
realize that that the study of the
three RS is not all that is needed in
our school work. It will arouse all
of us to realize that to be even a COM
mon reader we must understand our
language, and to understand our Ian
guage, we must study and have
taught our English in its four parts
photography, EEtymology, Syntax
and Prosody. And by having the
public mind enlivened upon this sub
ject they will learn, that to teach or-
typography we use the sDerrI, hook
anu Vesion 3 ou'' = and markings o.
ie''e's- or our etymology we use
parsing and classification of words
and syntax we diagram, and classify
sentences, and for prosody we taxi
the text book and learn the beau
ties of poetic feet, and the distin
gushing work of paragraphing, and
learning good and pure English
And that for the last three the much
abused grammar has to be used
They Will learn too, that geograph!
is as essential as arithmetic, and tina
history Is one of the broadcast studio
brought into any school. And NJ
man can be true judge of his coun
try's needs, without some knowledg
of his country's past. It will help t
break down the prejudice that so OF
ten utterly kills a successful schoo
and will give the true teacher a bel
ter chance to grade and classify hi
or her school in the best way and b
the complete means.

PROSECUTION OF ANIMALS.


In the Dark Ages Animals Were Held
Sabject &c the Laws.
1t seems most absurd to Us who live in
this year of grace. bat still it is an un-
questionable fact, that in what ars called
the dark ages it was the custom 20 hold
animals as subject 70 the ordinary laws
of the land, and to have regular trials, in
which the unfortunate animals were de-
PENDANTS.
The records of France show that from
1l20 to 1740 there were tried nearly 100
animals for different offences, and in l740
the last trial was held, and the prisoner
"a cow--was found guilty aud executed.
Advocates were always assigned to the
accused, and the trials were conducted
with the greatest formality.
In one district of France a suit was in-
stituted by the inhabitants against a GER
tain insect which was devastating their
fields, and lasted 42 years!
In another district certain rats were
proceeded against; they were described
in the writ as dirty animals in the form
of rats Of grayish color, living in holes. "
Needless to say. no rats entered an APP
pearance on the day of trial, and judg-
ment was given against them in default
In 1857 SOW and her six young ones
were tried for having murdered and
eaten child. The SOW was found guilty >
and sentenced to death, but the little
pigs were acquitted on the ground OF
youth and the absence OF direct proof
that they had eaten any part OF the
child
In Switzerland a cock was tried for
having laid an egg after long trial and
many ingenious speeches for prosecution
and for defence the unfortunate cock
WAS sentenced to DEATH not because he
was cock, but on the ground that he
was devil in the form of cock-and
SO he and his egg were burnt at the stake.
In Italy caterpillars were often tried,
and fish also. Animals in those olden
times were also admitted as witnesses ON
behalf of an accused person. II muir
derer swore before an animal that he was
innocent provided it was clear that the
animal was present at the time OF the
murder) he was held guiltless if the ami.
NAL did not contradict him, because IL
was thought then that God would rather
work miracle and make the dumb ami
