A REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRAT

The result of the national election
has-opened wide the Democratic NAV.
Nothing will satisfy it but office.
Tammany instead of the mugwumps
will this time mark out the rule of
action. Jacksonian simplicity will
say, ITO the victors belong the spoils."
The responsibility of the conduct of
the government will rest upon the
Democratic party. Let it choose its
servants. Let the true essence of
Democracy dominate. Let its party
principles, as set forth in the platform
upon which it won, be the guide in the
administration of the government.
Here in Fairhaven already a half
dozen of our Democratic friends are
understood to be in the field for post
master. We are to have Democrat
in that position. We want repre-
sentative Democrat if any. While the
HERALD disclaims the right to dictate
to the party, or even to estop itself
from saying good words in favor of,
or heartily supporting hereafter,
some other candidate, at this
time it believes f. NJ. Bourn
to be the most representative
Democrat that has come forward for
the position. He belongs to the
young Democracy. He has grown up
since the war and has imbibed the
more progressive spirit of his party.
Born and educated in Missouri, where
Democracy has remained unadulter-
ated, he brings to the new west the
true spirit of Missouri Democracy,
which has been so distinguished in the
history of that state. His service to
the party here it is needless to say has
been paramount to that Of any man in
Fairhaven. He is untiring in his de-
votion to the cause of Democracy. He
is large property-owner In the city,
and his extended business experience
in Missouri, Colorado, Montana and
Washington need only to be cited to
indicate his aptitude and fitness for the
position. He is one of the live Demo-
Gratis who believes in Fairhaven made
large investments in building up the
city and has been an aggressive men,
Der Of the Chamber of Commerce.
Should the president-elect select Mr..
Bourn for postmaster it would only be
a slight reward for his devotion, and
Fairhaven would have a true and
worthy representative of the great
party that has come into power.

Leo Out a Horse.

A shipload of fine horses was recently
consigned from Calcutta to Bombay,
under the charge of very honest but
somewhat dull agent in the employ of
an East India company. While the
horses were being landed at the slip,
they managed to break away from the
men in charge, and ran like wild animals
through the city. The agent caught one
of them, and mounting him gave chase.
After several hours of exciting work,
with the help of his men, he had cap
tured all but one of the horses, as he
counted them.
Finally he made his reluctant way to
the superintendent Office to give an &C.
count of the matter. The superintend-
emit came to the door and listened to the
story.
"And you say there were 124 horses in
all, and you have eighty of them in the
company's stables and forty-three Of
them back in the steamer temporarily
"Yes, sir, all safe but one; and we
cannot find him anywhere"
''What is that horse you are riding?"
Exchange.

The property-owners upon whom the
chief burden of municipal expenses
devolves ought to evince deep inter-
est in the city election, which is to
occur on the sixth of next month, at
which time mayor, treasurer and four
councilmen are to be chosen to manage
the affairs of the city for another year.
Honest, capable and conservative bust
hess men are needed. Some important
changes in the line of economy should
be made at the beginning of the new
year, and the voters should see to IL
that men are elected who will make
them. In this work the new council
will undoubtedly receive the hearty CO.
operation of the three hold-over mem
bers of the present one.

Scientific Wordiness,

A scientific writer is one who never
uses an English word where he can
make Greek one do, and never employs
one word if he can put in three. This
description will fit nine-tenths of all the
alleged writers on science at the present
day. 1t is time when the general
public is keenly alive to new discoveries
and inventions Never before was man
kind so alert to seize on facts which it
can turn to its own advantage. Men
want to alleviate the awful sum OF
human suffering; they snatch at any
hopeof making life easier, labor lighter
the race healthier and handsomer. All
the world wrestles with material re-
sources, to turn them to account,
Never before did common people follow
with bright, eager minds the path Of
discovery in astronomy, in chemistry,
electricity, biology and all kinds of in
vention. They ask scientific professors
for bread, and the scientific professors
give them a stone-a whole pile Of
stones.
Let them stop the Greek and Latin
writing and give us English. There
never was thing SO large or SO small
that a name could not be found for it in
English. The English language is rich
and growing. In excuse for the serpen-
tine names which are the despair of in
telligent nonprofessional readers the sci
entific writers say that if they used Eng
lish names and terms scientific men of
other nations would not understand
them Well, it is a question whether
the professors are writing for learned
foreigners or for the people Of their own
nation, who buy their literature and give
them their living. If for the foreign
professor, then let them go to the for
eign countries.
One can count upon the fingers of one
hand, and then have a finger or two left
the names of the scientific men whose
writing is Ineligible, pleasant reading
to the ordinary person. Wecannot carry
a big dictionary around with us. Another
fault no less grievous in the scientific
writer is that his style is inexpressibly
dull, dreary and wordy. His meaning
is obscure; his sentences are four times
as long as they ought to be- He occu-
pies page in saying what clear, con-
else writer would often put into six
lines and make the meaning palmer.
We call on the men of science to give us
relief from this swosh of wordiness and
reform their style.

Prohibition no longer cuts much of a
figure in state or national politics. In
the states which have been its greatest
strongholds in the West-Iowa and
Kansas-it was practically ignored this
year. AS a consequence in Iowa the
Republicans have regained control Of
the state by big majority, and in
Kansas 1t is announced that no fur
ther effort Will be made to enforce the
prohibitory law. The various cities
and towns will be permitted to go wet
or dry, as they may elect by local
option.

The Public Schools.

What would any of us "a been If our
fathers hadn't a-drawed our faculties
out Of usY says the old philosopher in
"Barnaby Rudge." One is inclined to
make the same observation after read
ing in The Forum DR.. Rice's paper on
the evils that have grown around the
public schools in Baltimore. The mis-
takes in Baltimore are the same as those
everywhere else. One Of the evils noted
is that the system OF perpetual cram
ming Of the memory leaves the reason
ing powers all untouched. The teachers
are SO busy drawing the faculties out Of
the children that they have no time to
teach the young ones to think, If indeed
the teachers themselves know how to
think. DR.. Rice is doubtful on that
point somewhat, judging from his paper.
Next to the evil Of the perpetual
examining system is want of supervision
of the teachers by the higher powers.
On this lack the writer lays great stress.
To an unprejudiced outsider, however
it appears that there is too much super
vising of the teachers already, so that
the public school teacher bids fair in
time to be as much bebossed as the girl
clerks in a dry goods store. This
eternal supervision and subsupervision
does not bring good results. 1t tends to
make mere eye servers, and should not
be applied to the instructors Of young
Americans. A better way will be to
pay such wages to the ordinary teacher
as will attract superior women into the
ield-then employ only superior women
A teacher worthy the name will care for
something more than drawing her
monthly wage.

Senator Sewart expresses the opinion
that no party will remain in power in
the United States longer than four
years that does not enact law provid-
ing for the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver. Possibly the senator may be
right, but it is reasonably certain now
that a vastly greater number would
agree with him If he were to say that
no party that would enact such law
would deserve to remain In power one
year.

The workingmen at Homestead, in
Guiding the apprentices-about 1000
IN all-were getting an average of $50
per month when they went out on a
strike and it was in behalf Of 325 en-
ployes-only 8 per cent. of the whole
the least of whose earnings was Sc
per day. On these almost incredible
prices the company had announced a
IL per cent. reduction, which would
have left the range Of prices from S.
% upward. No reduction was con-
templated on the other 1875 employees.
On such cause rests the justification
of the strike and of the effects to pre-
vent the company from employing
other help. The blood-shed that oc-
Cured was caused by the attack Of the
infuriated workmen on the posse which
was sent to guard the company's-
property. The lndamatory speeches,
of whom dynamiter Haire is fit pat
tern, the grossly false statements
Of such sheets as the Rur0Nst and
Onida Journal, and the lying pream-
BILE of the calamity platform, which de-
clares the country has been "brought
to the verge of political and moral ruin, .
is more to blame for the bloodshed than
any other cause. Such orators, such
publications and such a party are a
curse to any country.
