An Argument That Every One
Can Understand.

From the New York Times, August end.
Mr.. Cooper, of Florida, is clearly an
addition to the House. In his maiden
speech the other day he showed great
brightness and quickness as well as
solid good judgment. Mr.. Livingston,
of Georgia, thought to corner him by
asking why, if the Sherman notes have
created a burden upon the Treasury,
they were at a premium in New York
and at par in London? Mr.. Cooper re-
piled that money was at a premium in
New York because of the panic. The
stringency locks it up, and it is locked
up because of the lack of confidence in
financial operations under the Sherman
act" and the Treasury note 'is at par
in London because you al draw gold
for it in America" Cd
Discussing the value of silver, he said:
'Just before l was leaving Florida an
old friend of mine, who had lived for
years on the Pacific slope, came to me

toes, and they are each worth what they
will sell for.m That is really the gist
of the whole question rs to the unlimit-
ed coinage of silver.
Referring to the interest of his own
constituents in the question of free COIN
age, he said: eff 1 am to vote for "a
bill to give an artificial value to things;
if | am to vote for this measure l want
an amendment added by which it shall
be enacted that my people shall receive
a dollar for every 81 cents worth Of
their cotton and tobacco and oranges
and ~pineapples and vegetables and logs
and lumber and turpentine." This is
argument that every one can understand
and no one a refute.

The Drowning Season.

, 1t has begun, already, late as theswarm
weather has been in appearing. Every
day news items are telegraphed about
the drowning of men, women or chill
dren. 1t is nearly always the ven
turesome boys who head the melan-
choly roll. In every case the news item
states that the drowned person was
unable to swim. Those who have been
drowned thus far have usually gone out
in a rowboat, which from some cause
capsized and precipitated them into the
water. 1t is to be noted, too, that in
these cases it is the persons who know
nothing Of the management of q boat
and who cannot swim that are the most
venturesome in running into danger.
1t ought to be that such lessons every
year of our lives would impel each man,
woman and child to learn to swim with
out delay, but they do not. Every one
thinks that whoever else is drowned he
himself will escape, and so half the race
neglects what should be as much q part
| of a child's training as learning to walk.
Every inland city, however small, should
have its swimming tank and school if
there is no convenient river where this
graceful and useful physical accomplish
ment may be acquired. Besides that,
those who do not know how to swim have
no idea how much pleasure they miss out
Of their lives. A good swim will chase
away the blues and bring n back to joy
and a fine love of life when he is on the
verg of suicide. Learn to swim. Let not
this summer go over your head w%ithoutit'
Five years old is not too young to learn
this art, which ought really to come nat.
urally to us all. Ninety years is not toe

From The Quito

The essential value Of teaching, from
the district school up to the university,
lies, | believe, in the contact of mind
and character between teacher and
taught; and if this be so, then the little
red school house, with its single teach
er and few pupils, is u better institu-
ton than the big school house, with
fifty OF more scholars to The teacher,
and occasional visits from other skilled
instructors. Were l IA school commit,
tee mai or an 0yerseer of Harvard Col
lege, | would ransack heaven and earth,
if possible, to find teachers with some
originality of intellect, and with that
force and virility of character which
impress themselves upon the plastic
minis and hearts of young people; and
having found them, | should trouble
myself very little about courses" and
textbooks and laboratory implements.
l venture to state this az a general pro-
position. Wherever teaching has been
recognized as peculiarly successful,
| whether in schools or universities, the
success has been due to the ability of
the instructor, and not to the eXcell-
ence of the system under which Or to
the richness Of the appliances through

1t is not unknown that there are in
New York city societies of Cubans de-
voted to freeing their native island from
Spain and making of it a republic. They
work so quietly that they never get into
governmental entanglements. If now
they and their friends in Cuba should
organize a determined rebellion, one
that meant something; should stand to
their ground and at length defeat the
Spanish forces, drive them home, pro-
claim the independence of Cuba, then
just beg and entreat the United States
to annex Cuba, precisely as happened in

The legislatures of Montana, Wash.
ington and Wyoming failed to elect U.
S. Senators as they should have done
last winter and the Governors of those
States appointed Senators. The v. S.
Senate has voted not to admit those ap.
pointed as the U. s. constitution says
''if vacancies happen by resignation, Oh
otherwise, during the recess of the beg
islature of any State, the executive
thereof may make temporary appoint
ments until the next meeting of legis-
lature, which shall then Gil such vacan-
cies." This is very clear yet many Sena-
tors voted to admit them after they had
taken an oath to uphold the constitu'
tion. This shows it is important to
elect men who give sound i%nterpreta-
tions to the constitution while they may
he conscientious with their oath. This
question has never before arisen in the
history of the government.

Those who claimed few months
caused by the possible passage of the
"Anti-0ption Bill" by Congress, have
failed to explain why prices are still
lower since the death of that measure
was celebrated by a great wake by the
gamblers on the Chicago Exchange
If prices were low because the Anti
Option Bill was likely TO become law.
why are they still lower now that it is
defeated Perhaps the next Congress
will not be hoodwinked out of its duty
to the farmer by the believing of the
bulls or growing of the bears on
