much the more will the ballot-box repre-
sent the true viii of the people. In over
thirty of the States the ballot will this
year be absolutely secret; so secret that it
can be invaded only through perjury,
and with the risk of penal seryitude in
full view Of offenders. This system must,
therefore, exercise a potential influence
IN the campaign. 1t will augment the in
dependent and uncontrolled vote; 1t will
make voters more self-reliant, and nat
urally more thoughtful, because it con-
serves deliberation. We must, therefore,
have truer popular expression and the
majority will be of more weighty and
grave value than ever before.

but rejects declaration that
must be viewed with distrust. if not
alarm. The school plank vituperates
about interfering with the freedom of
education and interference by the State
with parental right and the rights of con-
| science in the education of children.
When this plank was under discussion
the telegraphic reports announced that in
the debate before the committee it was
understood to be intended as sop to the
Wisconsin wing of the party, which
wrecked the Bennett school law.
The school law of Wisconsin for years
had been that at least twelve weeks per
year Of schooling should be given all
children of certain age. To that no one
had objected. The Bennett law added to
1t IN 1889 that no attendance upon any
school where the English tongue was not
taught in writing, reading and American
history should be recognized as complying
with the twelve weeks law. tits against
this just and righteous provision that
youth raised to American manhood shall
be able to read our laws and write and
speak the common language of the coun-
try, that the National Democratic party
now arrays itself under the false and alb
surd fear that it is an interference with a
right of conscience and of the individual.
If the party can afford to go before the
people for their judgment upon that issue,
the Republican party can afford to await
the result upon its broader, more Ameri-
can, just and honest educational ex-
preston.
Save, then, upon the tariff and the
school question, and such other matters
as we have pointed out, we discover no
such divergence of the Democratic from
the Republican platform as invests the
former with originality, unless we ex-
cept its absurd ranting concerning out
RACES on the part of the Republican party
that, according to these Democratic plat
form-makers, is the boyle Of the age.

Jenny Lind's judgment of books,
though un,lirccted by anything like hit
erary training. always showed indepeid-
ence and penetration. She was Il de
voted lover Of Carlyle's writings, and
the last book she read before her death
was Mr.. Norion's volume Of the corre-
spondence between Carlyle and Elmer
son. No doubt her admiration for tie
great denouncer of shams WAS largely
due to the intense sincerity of her own
character. which made it impossible for
her to tolerate even those slight devla-
tions from strict truthfulness which are
seldom taken seriously, but are looked
upon as the accepted formula of society,

Two Kinds of Pears.

1t is remarkable that although new
fruits come to the front every year there
is not pear yet that has been able to
take the place Of the Bartlett or the
Seckel The Bartlett is ii European sort,
originating in England and named there
Williams Bon Curetien. 1t was intro
duced into this country, and its name
getting lost ii was named Bartlett, after
the man in whose garden it was when
its excellent qualities We're discovered.
The Seckel is native, a chance seeding,
found growing near the Sehuylkill river,
Philadelphia, and the original tree still
stands and bears fruit.
The Bartlett is in season throughout
September, the Seckel from the CLOSE Of
September and through October. These
two kinds are no exception to the rule
that the quality of all pears increases IN
value as the trees get older. The fruit
from full grown Seckel pear tree, for
instance, is far superior to that from a
tree fruiting f,s the first time. -Practi-
