Teachers and PaternalIsm.
Carrollton, No., April so, 1891.

In his address before the State Teahc-
ers Association, President Jesse of the
Missouri University paid tribute to the
thorouGhness of German educational
methods which thev well deserve; and it
is true, as he points out, that American
instructors have learned much from Ger
many that was we'll worth learning.
While the disposition to borrow from
German educators everything that can
be asslmulated to American in stitutions
deserves encouragement, the tendency to
take with ir the spirit of the German
bated wherever it shows itself, as it often
does.
As the ''father OF his people," vested
with power over them almost absolute, :,
and claiming absolutism by Divine right,
the Emperor of Germany may, in per-
feet consonance with the theories of his
government, ignore the wishes of the
parent in the education of the child and
transgress the limits of the fathers au-
thority over the child aJ his pleasure.

temporary check from representative as
sembly which is carefully made subser-
Went to him does not in the least change
the fact that as war lord and military
despot he is absolute IN his assumption of
paternal control as far as he cho oses to
exercise it.
1t is the spirit of the German tlIrope
rather than Of the people that is illustrat-
ing the German regulations which disre-
gard the rights of family and prevent
freedom OF education; and as far as
American teachers become imbued with
this spirit they are apt to attempt to sub
stitute for the free institutions of Ame.f-
ca such a tyranny as is entirely incompat-
ible with freedom.
Every teacher should guard himself
against this influence. The control of
the child in the school. where he stands
in the parents place, as his representa-
tive, is all he should ever seek to acquire.
No reasonable teacher would ever think
of attempting more, yet in neighbour
ing States we have recently Witness
ed the humiliating spectacle of men

An Artist Indeed.

Raising the legal question over the head
of Prize Fighter Slavin, whether he Is an
artist in'the meaning OF the law concern
ing the importation of laborers under
contract, reminds us of the story that
John Brougham used to tell OF that
charming actor and his own admired
friend, Lester Wallack. As Brougham
was approaching the door kept by Saint
Peter, he saw Lester Wallack pass in;
but when he reached the gate himself he
was informed that actors We're not admit
ted. ''But Wallack went in,'' said
Brougham. "Yes,'' said Saint Peter,
'but Wallack is no actor
Certainly in the pugilistic profession
there have been those whose professional
accomplishments were sufficient to confer
the undeniable title of an artist. Taking
a supreme case, if Mr.. James Mace had
not cultivated himself in his business to
that perfected degree of skill upon which
is universally set the stamp of art, then
the immense body of performers whose
roles are inpe:ceptibly graded from the
naughty tragedian to the humble clog
dancer, must move off the stage. Art is
long, but art is also tremendously broad.
1t makes no partial or invidious distinc-
tion between its eXemplars. In his line
Mace stood the peer of Robert Houdin in
his He was the wizard of the ring. He
was perhaps unequalled in his degree of
skill; and yet will the law sit in discrim
mating Judgment on the boxers and draw
the line between postmaster in sparring
and a modern slugger.
We have no desire, in declaring a pug
Hist to be legally an artist under our pres
ent statutes, to quibble upon the fact that
he may paint his opponents hysiognomy
and torso red, or blue; we are ouly up
holding him as one of an indlvislble army
of public performers practising particular
professions susceptible of the very highest
artistic cultivation and of the application
Cfsuperior intelligence. Mr.. Slavin may
not be, strictly speaking, of the first class.
He has not the exquisite skill of Mace,
nor by any means does he exhibit so un-
mstakably the grand style which shines
through all the recklessness and careless
ness of the herculean Sullivan. In his
fighting method he reminds one less of
the perfect boxer than of
that two handed engine at the door.
All ready to smite once aud smite no more"
But as pugilst and one of the most
eminent professors OF the noble art of self
defence, he is undebatably an artist, and
can be imported in this country under
contract. AT present, as it happens, he
has left the country New York Sun.

Questions to Awaken Thought. i.
Cor. journal of Agriculture.


| 1t is said that, Money is the root Of all
evils" and again, money is power" 1t
is evident to every person that great
, deal of evil is committed and permitted
on account of money. The power of
money has made itself felt in the halls OF
such was not the fact, there would be no
necessity for the farmers movement.
That the money problem may be thor
cughly discussed among the farmers and
others, | wish to PROFOUND a few ques-
lions:
l. How long after the United States
became an dependent government did it
have sufficient money of its own to meet
the wants of the people?
,. What was the per capita circulation
of gold and silver money during the wears
1889 1910 and 1860: also of United States
bank notes before and during the time al
luded to above?
Was there treasury notes issued during
the time? If 50, how many, and their
nature and cause of their issue?
8 Did states ever issue paper money
for the relief of the peOple2
4. What is the difference between a
United States bank and national bank
a government bond and a national bank
note?
s. If a national bank is founded on
government bonds, (say 100000 capital
of bank how much money does it really
represent? TO be understood, will say,
the government has borrowed 500, 900
from the parties and gave its bonds fol
security; it now authorizes the parties 20
make or issue money or to loan to the
people, etc.

MckInley's Battle in Ohio.

The nomination of William Mckinley
Jr., as the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor OF Ohio, was made yesterday with
entire unanimity and great enthusiasm.
The eminent fitness of his nomination was
recognized by all of the party leaders OF
the State, and had been clearly ioreshad-
owed by party sentiment since his defeat
for Congress last November.
Mr.. Mckinley has great elements OF
strength and great elements of weakness
as candidate for Governor at this time
He is an able. honest, clean man, he is
the author of the present tariff policy OF
the nation nation that has been made the
party creed for 1892; he is the ablest de-
fender of high tariff taxes III his State and
equaled by few in the nation. and the
mean partisan desperation that gerry
wandered him ont of his seat in Congress
did much to strengthen him with fair
minded people.
With McKiEley's personal strength to
aid him, he would be an invincble can
didate if the battle could be fought on old
political lines: but his elements of weak.
ness centre in his direct responsibility for
a new tariff policy that imposed the high
est taxes on the necessaries of industry
and of life ever levied in time of peace.
This is Mckinley's tariff: he must not
only defend it, but he must staCd or fall
with it. and there is little promise OF pop
ular approval of his increased tariff taxes
by the people of Ohio.
Mr. Mckinley starts in the Ohio race
with his tariff policy of largely increased
taxation on the necessaries of life already
condemned by two thirds of the States of
the Union. His own State, with dis
cordant and faction rent Democracy, that
would have given Republican majority
of 40 900 in any ordinary contest, escaped
with less than 10 ,0O0 majority last fall !,
and that majority was given in Cincin-
natl by Democratic debauchery and de-
moralization. Now. the issue will come
squarely before the people, and il Demo-
cratic unity could confront him, he would
be defeated.
That the issue so clearly embodied in
MIR. Mckinley would defeat him in Ohio,

A Very Bad Record.

The republicans are in desperate straits
to make it appear that the UnIled States
treasury is not entirely depleted as re-
suit of the billion dollar Congress. Fig
ures have been juggfed, funds diverted
from their proper use, emp4oyes of the
government paid in silver dollars stored
in the vaults and every scheme resorted to
for the purpose of deceiving the people.
Fridays Washington dispatch to the st.
Louis Republic says that there is row a
deficit in the treasury of nea"ly 5000, 600;
Secretary Foster claims that there Is still
a little money left. 1t matters but little
which statement is correct as in either
event the situation is bad enough.
When Mr.. Cleveland's term Of office
expired and the government was turned
over to the republican party there was
surplus of over 100000, 900 "a sum great
er than the taxable wealth of Missouri)
in the treasury, and all outstanding OBJ
legations of the government had been
met as they fell due. So great was the
surplus that Mr.. Cleveland recommended
reduction of the tariff on the necessar-
les of life. to the end that the government
need not collect more money than would
be needed.
This is the condition of affairs when
the republicans found themselves in pos
session OF the government. And how is
it to-day? The tariff has been increased.
the surplus wasted and the treasury de-
pleted. These are facts which cannot he
controverted. 1t is no fault of the dem
ocratie party that this deplorable condi-
ton of affairs exists. The republican
party has made its own infamous record
and Oh this record it must stand.-Jeffer-
son City Tribune.

The Tariff and the Coinage.


Q. Did the silver producing states and
territories receive the commercial, or the
coming value of their crop?
A. They received the Commercial val
ue, that is. $57, ops, 900.
Q. What would they have received fol
it, if free coinage had been the rule?
A. They would have received the full
coming value-$70. AGA 900.
q. Then, the government S refusal to
coin silver free, as it once did, costs the
silver states over $4,000, 900 year?
A. | does.
Q. Is not this unfair?
a. 1t is.
@. Does not the government maintain
a protective tariff for incre asing the pric.
of the manufactured product of the man
ufacturing states, several hundred million
dollars a year?
A. 1t does.
@, Then it appears that while the gov
ernment discriminates in favor of the pro
ducts of some states,it discrimates against
the roducts of others?
a. Yes.
Q. Which is the protected section ol
the Union?
a. The Northeast.
Q. But you say this is the seat of the
money power-the section where free sill
yer coinage meets the greatest opposi-
ton?
A. Yes.
Q. And this section, while demanding
and receiving a protective duty of 80 Fer
cent. on its industrial product. takes off
y per cent. of the fair value of the pro-
duct of the silver states?
a. Yes
Q. Are not the silver producing states.
as a rule, the new and poorer ones?
A. They are.
Q. And are not the protected manu-
featuring states tt richest section Of the
Union?
A Yes.
Q. Then. the tariff and the coinage are
both arranged for the behefit of the rich
states, ana the injury of the poorer ones?
A. They are, indeed; and the protec-
tive tariff and the partial decentralization
of silver are the foundation-stOnes of
Northeastern supremacy, and that SUI
premacy will never be overthrown till the
tariff system is fairly adjusted to the West
and South, and silver restored to its orig
inal dignity .-Grissom' ''People Dol

even with all his merited personal
strength, is hardly disputed by any in
telligent observer OF the situation; but he
has one chance, and only one chance of
sdccess, and that is in Democratic defec-
ton from Governor Campbell. That
there will be Democratic opposition to
Campbell and that it will be carried to the
polls on election day, is admitted on all
sides. The only question is as to the
measure of the revolt, 1t may be large,
and if so, Mckinley will win; it may be
small, and if so, Campbell will be re-
elected
With all the hostility to Governor
Campbell it is obvious that no man could
be nominated over him and poll strong
er vote, The people of Ohio love Camp
bell not only for his patriotic record in
the army and in civil trust, but they love
him because of the enemies he has made.
He had the courage to grapple with a lit
tie Tweed ring of Democratic plunderers
in CINCINNATI. and he is hated by thieves
within his party and commended by hon
est men of all parties.
The Ohio battle will doubtless be be-
tween Mckinley and Campbell, and it
will be only one of the most interesting
and exciting of our modern political con-
fiicts. Campell will surely receive many
more than enough Republican votes on
the tariff issue to give his party majority
lift were united; but Mckinley will surely
receive many votes from disappointed
Democratic jobbers, and the issue is fair
lg doubtful because Of the unknown guam
titles of rebellious oters on both sides.
Let the contest result as it may, however,
Ohio will elect most worthy Governor.
