Special to The Independent.
GREAT FALLS, Aug. "a dispatch re-
ceived here this morning from Fort Benton
states that Col. M. ]. Leaning died last
night at some place in the Highwoods.
where he was camping with Others. 1t is
thought that the sudden change of weather
augmented the trouble of an old wound

lego and Albany law school; acted as pri-
yate secretary for Andrew Johnson. He

however the American pocket
leans. The populists, having
less to lose and more TO gain,
showed more determination. A
vote of 43 to 80 in favor of UNI
conditional repeal was passed,
the House at once cOncurred
with the action of the Senate by
the substitution of the Voorhees,
bill for the Wilson Repeal bill al.
ready passed, inasmuch as the
only difference between these
two bills is Il slight amendment
made by the Senator from In

val of the House the signature
Of the President was promptly
attached, and the country is rid
of the obnoxious Sherman silver
law. And now fit is this law
which has proved serious dam
age to our manufacturing, trade
and commerce, speedy revival
of business may be looked for

OF all the public events that
have taken place of late none
have been more notable than the
complete collapse of the fight
against the unconditional repeal
of the silver purchase clause of
the Sherman act of 1890. The
fight, which was a most stub
born one, was expected to last
much longer, but through the
determination of President Cleve-
land to fight it out on his line,
and other causes, not at first
generally understood but easily
accounted for, the filibustering
was brought to a sudden con-
clusion last week Monday even
ing, the Republican silver Sena-
tors surrendering with becoming
grace. Their attitude in the

was full Of the sentiment that

it:

THE WORLDS FAIR.

The great Columbian Exposi-
ton is ended. 1t has been the
most wonderful exhibit of pro-
gress and industry the world has
ever seen, and the greatest. No
line of human activity, of science
or art, but had there adequate
representation. 1t has been, to
the twenty-five million people
who have visited it, 4 revelation
of the mightiness of the progress
the world is making, and lib
eral education in the humanitieS
1t will give an impulse to every
true American who visited it,
because it put him in closer touch
with the world at large, and
gave a clearer insight into the
part that his own country must
bear to keep in the van Of pro-
gress.
The city of Chicago merits the
highest need of praise for the
splendid manner in which she
carried out the Exposition. The
boldness-it might even becalled
audacity-which is such a char
acteristic- of the city and her peo-
pie, never had a grander illustra-
ton than in the all-embraCing
scope of the plans laid down for
this magnificent Fair, and the
tenacity of purpose with which
they were carried out to the
minutest detail. The buildings
in which were housed the exhib-
its from every nation and every
cline were erected on a most
magnificent scale, and of them
selves were a feature never to be
forgotten. No one who ever
stood in the grand Court of
Honor will forget the splendid
scene as long as his life lasts.
And at night, when the facades
were marked in glittering lines
of electric fire, one understood
why it was named the Dream
City" as well as the white
City"
1t boots not that The Fair
cost more, in dollars and cents,
than the receipts; for the public
spirited Chicagoans who raised
the original fund did not expect
to get their money back. While
it is true that the cost was some
ten million dollars in excess OF
all receipts, the city has gained
in a thousand ways through
| having the Fair located there,
and has received an impulse that
will make it profitable invest
ment even from the standpoint {
of dollars and cents. The most
enduring benefit this country
will receive from the Exposition
is the impulse given to the aesthe-
tic side of our national life. We

THE CURE or CRANKERY,

Edward Everett once said:
1--WE must educate, or we must
perish by orr own prosperity.
The evolution of the politico-cc-
onomic crank in recent years IS
proof of the truth of his dictum.
We have not enough education
among the people. A mere
knowledge of reading and writ
ing, smattering of arithmetic
and geography, isnot education.
These things are accomplished by
a mere effort of memory. Edu
cation, in its true sense, is the
development of the mental pow
ers symmetrically in all direc-
tions. The species of crank which
has arisen within the last score
of vears-of whom Gulteau,
Prendergast, and Others who
have achieved notoriety by muir
derous methods, are examples
is a man whose mental develop
ment has been SO lop-sided as to
accentuate rather than cure, an
original lack of symmetry in
mentality.
There are today thousands of
uneducated men in this country
men who can read and write,
but who have never had any in
tellectual training, and whose
higher mental powers are not
much developed beyond those of
a child-who are just as cranky
as those named above. Such
persons readily become the dupes
of the promulgators or moon
shine theories, based on the fall
lacy that the mere enactment of
a law will bring the millennium
post haste. They read this false
doctrine, and have not the keen
mental grasp which would en-
able them to detect its Stiffness
They come to the conclusion that
the world is all aSkew, that the
masses are ground down under
the heel of the "plutocrats.
or the manufacturers, or Wall
street, or something else-What-
ever the promulgator of them
has selected as the cause of all
the sin and poverty and trouble
in the world. Brooding over
these things leads TO mental de.
terioration; the crank finally
comes to believe that the wrongs
of which he complains are cen
tered on himself as the represen.
tative of the masses, and it is
then but step to the commits
sion of murder or other crime to
avenge his alleged grievances.
The true remedy for the evils
and wrongs in the world is not
legislation, but education. The
right kind of education puts a
power into the hands of a man
which gives him an advantage
over the uneducated Education
is within the grasp of all, and
every young man owes it to
himself and to society to obtain
it. No law can remedy the inc,
quality between a man with q
trained intellect and one with ar
unframed one, any more than il
can remedy that between a weak
mind and a strong one. AnG
hand in hand with education
must go moral and spiritua
training, for he who has not the
mastery of his own appetites
and passions, but is mastered by
them, is a slave indeed.
