THR OFFICE OF THE TEACHER

Many teachers seem to mistake the
duties of their high office. They throw
all the work of insUru citing the child
upon the parents, while they simply
hear recitations and ascertain how
much the parent has taught the child.
If something like this arrangement is
to be carried on in the schools, the
method should be reversed and the
teacher should do the teaching while
the scholar rehearses to the parent.
The teacher is paid to teach and not to
sit like a bump on log and test the
children's requirements from their par
enJs' care and instruction. 1t is simply
outrageous to load al. the work upon
the father and mother, who pay taxes
to provide a teacher who shall teach.
1t is the duty of the parent to help the
child in it's studies at home, but the
child ought not to be expected to come
to school with perfect lessons or be
marked down. If the boy or girl IS to
learn everything outside of the school,
then the teacher had better give up
the school and go to doing hOusework
or some other useful work.-FGTn1ers'
Voice.

EDITORIAL SUGGESTIONS.

The South is buying hay of the
North. The South is capable of pro-
ducing its own hay, if it will.
If yo1 have a piece of low land,
marsh perhaps, drain it, and you will
make it the best land on your farm.

Flowing may be continued so long as
the weather will permit, but do not at
tempt to work in the land when it is
wet and sOggy or frozen. Buried frost

GETTING OUT OF GEAR.

The NeVs su,ad Observer of the 9th
said:
"The agricultural situation in Eng-
land is depicted by the members of an,
Agricultural Congress now in session
at London, as b. ing so very bad that
our American farmers may well con-
gratulate themselves that they are not
trying to farm in England. The situa-
tion, it was said, is rapidly approach
ing the proportions of national disaster.
The farmers mo longer invited laborers
the towns were crowded with men out
of employment; and the farmers were
undersold by foreign competitors.
Landlords got no rents, and the
farmers made no profits. It does in
deed seem that the world is getting
out of gear"
England has had the gold standard
longer than any other nation. Her
people, with the exception of a few.
goldbugs, are poverty stricken, with
out hope or ambition. America will.
be the same soon. unless we get 70.
gether and hurl the goldbugs from
power.

Arrives In San Francisco, but Refuses to
speak Fully on the Question.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 9.-The
Australia did not dock until 9 a. m. and
It was nearly 10 before the passengers
came ashore. Paul Neuman, member
of the ex-Queen's cabinet, was on board
on his way 70 Washington to lay the
depOsed Queen Lilioukalani's case be-
fore the State department. Mr.. Neu-
man was not inclined to De cOmmunica-
tive. lie said that owing to the nature
of his mission he must reserve his re-
marks until he reached Washington.
''These dispatches, the nature Of
which 1 cannot l.sclOse, state the
Queens position in a manner that / am
sure will have considerable weight
with the President and Secretary Of
State"
What IS the Queens disposition to-
wards the nited States?" was asked.
''She is a friend TO the United States
as is everybody on the island, and If the
United States wants to annex Hawaii
she is perfectly willing if it Is done
properly. The statement that the new
constitution promulgated by the Queen,
aud which preclpltated the present
trouble, would disfranchise the whites is
untrue" continued the Queens ennis
sary.
''The whites on the island would
simply have to become nsturalized citi-
zens the same as In the United States
before they could vote. The Queen and
the natives objected to having a lot Of
fOrafpnprs owing their allegfance IN
other countries, to come in and run
their Government for them.
Chow do the Queen and natives re-
gard the action OF Minister Stevens in
raising the United States flag and es-
tablishing a protectorate?" was asked.
"The Queen and her loyal subjects
have no objections II the United States
choose 70 act in such a manner" said
Mr.. Neuman with q significant shrug
of the shoulders.

A LITTLE TILT
Between Senator B'iIls, OF Texas, and
Senator Higgins

Between Senator 8'lIs, OF Texas, and
Senator Higgins
WASHINGTON, d. c., February o.
When the Senate went into executive
session to-day IL released the Injunction
Of secrecy upon the correspondence be-
tween the United States aud the British
and French Governments from 1912 TO
1874 respecting the seizure of the
Hawaiian Islands by Lord Paulet for
the British government The CORES
pondence ends with the declaration by
the British and French government Of
the independence of Hawaii, aud their
guarantee never TO seek possession of
the islands.
Hawaiian matters were the occasion
for a spirited little scene between Mr..
Higgins and Mr.. Mills. The news that
protectOrate had been established
over Hawaii by the American Minister
was first conveyed to the Senate by
means Of the Associated Press
dispatch from San Francisco.
IL created little discussion.
Mr.. Mills, however, took vigorous
grounds against the conduct Of the
minister and asked by what authority
this policy, as be termed IL, had been
committed, and by what authority the
American flag had been run up over the
islands.
This caused Senator Higgins to re-
tort with an inquiry as to what author
iuy could be shown for the hoisting of
several flags on divers occasions in the
past 10 the State Of Texas.
With the exception here noted. there
appears 70 be general feeling OF salts
faction that affairs have taken their
present shape.

cessories TO Bergman, the Anarchist In
the attempted killing Of Ii. G. Frick,
last July, was begun before Judge Sla-
gle to-day. The charge Is conspiracy
and being accessories 10 felony. Both
men are enthusiastic Anarchists aud
the indictment grows out OF the action

erature among the people and endeav-
ored TO excite them to riot. During
Bergman's stay In Pittsburg he
was the guest OF the de-
PENDANTS at their home In
Allegheny. The commonwealth Is rep
resented by Assistant District Attorney
Goehring and the defense by Attorneys
w. ID. Moore and Joseph Friedman.
There was large attendance OF specta-
tors, including a number Of known An
archists. Bergman, who is now serving
q term In the penitentiary for the
crime, was brought over by order OF the
Court and after being Identified was
taken back to prison.
The prosecution had no difficulty In
proving the charge, aud the defense
attempted to prove an aibi, bat failed.
In charging the jury, Judge Stagel
said he considered the evidence strong
enough to convict, and instructed the
jury TO return a verdict In accordance
Herewith. The jury was out ten min
utes and brought In verdict OF guilty.
While they were out Judge Slagel called
called Bauer up and fined him $50, and
sentenced him sixty days to jail for con-
tempt Of court for refusing to answer
questions while on the witness stand.
II want 1t understood" said the Judge,
"that men coming 10 this country must
abide by its laws and the rule OF its
courts. II they don't do so they will
have TO leave the country or 90 70 jail"
The same defendants will be on trial
again to-day on another charge.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February O.
news Of the action OF Minister Stevens
became the subject of general comment
in the House after the excitement OF
the Silver bill had died away.
It met with the approval Of the Re-
publican side of the House and with a
mixed reception on the Democratic side,
the prevailing sentiment on that side,
however, being one OF antagonism to
committal of this government TO
annexation or to a protectOrate, or to
committal of Congress by the executive
branch OF the government. There were
some members who sharply criticized
Minister Stevens and thought his con-
duct unwarranted.

RAILROAD CoUPLERs,
Power Brakes and Railroad Appliances
Furnish the Senate Subject.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February o.
The whole of to-day's session Of the
Senate after the morning hour was de-
voted TO discussion Of the railroad
automatic car coupler bill.
At noon the Senate went into execu-
tive session on motion of Mr.. Morgan,
who said he merely wanted to get a
paper and nave it printed. The doors,
however, remained closed for mere than
half au hour. When they were opened
motion was made by Mr.. Wolcott TO
have their hour of meeting again
changed to noon. The vote resulted,
ayes 30, noes 80, and the Vice Presi-
dent in announcing 1t said: The Sen
ate being equally divided, the chair "a
pause) votes aye" Laughter and ap-
plause.
The unfinished business"-the au-
tomato car coupler bill-was taken up,
the question beiug on the amendment
offered by Mr.. Dolph to that offered by
Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Morgan's amendment requires
the Attorney General to bring suit for
the condemnation" OF any coupling
patent that may be selected and Mr..
Dolph's is that no railroad Company
shall be required to use such patent
until such condemnation" has taken
place. The amendments and the bill
were debated, and finally Mr.. Cullom
moved to lay the Morgan and Dolph
amendments on the table. Carried,
yeas SO, nays 9.
Mr. Do frnar n Ofrarod on apnopdnnopt N
strike out all Of section ?, except the
first sentence, which is to the effect that
railroads must not use cars not equipped
with uniform couplers, coupling auto
matically by compact. Mr.. Palmer's
amendment was agreed TO.
Mr.. Butler offered two amendments
which were agreed to, changing the
date in the first section when power
driving wheel brakes must be used)
from January l, 1895, to January /,
1898, and the date in the fourth section
(when grab-irons or handholds in the
ends and sides Of cars must be provided)
from July l, 1898, TO July l, 1895.
Mr.. Wolcott resented with much
acerbty OF manner criticism which
Mr. PETER made of some things which
he (Mr. WolcOtt) had said the previous
day. He utterly repudiated the idea OF
hostility to the farming classes or TO
laboring classes.
"The people to whom referred" he
said, "were the fraud and scum Of the
labor movement-men who are some
times walking delegates; men who are
socialist and anarchist agitators, and
men who, on the strength of the labor
movement, sometimes temporarily find
public Office" Sensation and laughter.
Without concluding the consideration
OF the bill the Senate adjourned.
