The frontispicce of the March Re-
Wow of Riviews is very fine portrait
of the late Justice Lamar. The editor
OF Review OF Reviews in his special
department Of the magazine, says:
1.-The death Of Justice Lamar was
followed by unanimous chorus Of
tributes Of his high character. He
was esteemed as highly in the North
as In the South. He was an ointment
to American public life. His varied
career was typically American. He
stood emphatically for the new issues
Of restored Union. though he had
thrown himself with enthusiasm into
.he cause OF the Southern Confederacy.
Among many other less prominent
,ubjects that combine to make a very
interesting number of this popular
magazine there is conspicuous. as tho
principal.feature for March, an article
entitled. american Politics, a study
of Four Careers " The careers group
ed in this article are those OF the late
Justice Lamar. tie late Mr.. Blaine,
and two other men, who have lately
passed away. namely: Ex-President
Hayes and Benjamin Butler. The ar
ticle is from the pen of Professor judi
son, OF the new Chicago University.
Professor Judson is the Dean OF the
college faculties of the University. and
stands next to President Harper. He
is professor Of American history and
politics, and writes most brilliant
and entertaining article. His liberal
view Of our recent political progress
will be interesting in all sections, but
especially will it appeal to the readers
In the Southern States.

A VIEW OF FINANCE.

A. II. Simon, the jeweler. is perhaps
one of the closest students OF financial
matters in st. Paul. Speaking with a
GLOBE man yesterday, he expressed
the opinion that great deal of
the primary responsibility for the
present unsettled condition of finances
must be attributed to politics. The
beginnings of these so called financial
flurries," said MIR. Simon, "can nearly
always be traced to the utterances
of diSgruntled politicians or eX-office-
holders. They throw ont some hint
or innuendo that IS printed or copied in
the newspapers and goes broadcast over
the land. This is taken up bv
some one else and elaborated or
added to until a feeling of uneasi-
ness is created that extends to all
classes in greater or less degree
Blame for the undesirable state of
affairs is then laid Oh some law, or fail
ure to enact or repeal. a movement
springs up to remedy the supposed de-
feet, and everything settles away into
the accustomed channels by the time
that action is taken. l do not say
that Will be the course in the
present case, but after time this ficti-
tlouS excitement will die out, ana
money matters Will resume their normal
condition. As for the rule of our banks,
the country merchant or banker has lit
tie cause to complain. it seems to me- The
new move affects directly only our
wholesalers and jobbers, and as they
are willing to handle and care for the
checks of their customers. the latter
can have no reason for complaint. Ii
that rule can be enforced, it will make
an end of many abuses that have grown
un under the old SYStnm',

A CHANGE COPIES O'ER Us


While secular cares are laid aside for
the day, it is pertinent to reflect on this
bright Sabbath morning that move
ment is on foot to transform the erst-
while seat Of a great religious revival
the Auditorium-intoa an arena for glove
contests. We do not term them prize
fights, because, on this day of days, it
would not be right to shock any ones
sensibilities.
The directors of the Auditorium will
meet tomorrow (not today to consider
the proposition of an athletic club to
lease with the privilege of purchase
the building, for the purpose named.
As the directors are largely composed
of those who united with the militia in
participating in the HALL-FITZsIM-
MONS incident year OF two ago, they
will naturally be interested in the
proposition to come before them.
Times are not as they used to be-
financially speaking. and under the
stress Of circumstances strange things
may happen.
In many states the laws permit race
'A"Nho' pun oC4ilHS anu SilHlldT StlOOCn
arrangements to be conducted for thirty
days each year, on condition that the
remaining eleven months the partici-
pants will be truly good.
1t is understood that the proposition
for the Auditorium merely varies the
order OF the schedule by agreeing
to surrender the building for thirty
days each year for revival pur-
poses, making no conditions as to the be-
havior of the participants the remainder
of the time,

THE SKIES FRIGHTENING.

When conservative England, after the
financial era through which this coun-
try has been passing, begins to send her
gold this way to buy American securi-
ties, it is very evident that the clouds
are rolling by.
There has never been any real occa-
sion for alarm or distress Nine-uenths
OF the physical ailments of mankind
have their real seat in mental nervous
ness or disorder. The physician who
greetS his patients with CHEEKY words of
encouragement and administers inof-
fensiYe drugs is the most successful
practitioner.
The same principles apply IN business
circles. The entire business of the
world is a matter of confidence. The
manufacturer has faith that he can sell
his products at a margin of profit. and
he conducts his business accordingly.
The merchant has faith that he can dis
pose OF his goods, and he lays in his
stock to meet the demand.
But when the manufacturer and the
merchant take the reverse view, and
cease to manufacture or buy, except in
the most limited and hand-to- mouth
manner, trade is stagnated, men are
thrown out of employment, and distress
follows.
The world has as many people and as
much money now as existed SIX months
ago. bot the business mentality has
been undergoing paralytic shock, and
1t takes time to restore the circulation
and enliVen the benumbed nerves.
The importation of gold is sure and
positive evidence that this process is
now i'll progress, and from now Oh an
upward era and rising tide may be
expected. There will not be an instan-
taneous recovery. There will still be
those who must succumb to the shock
which has already been received, but
the most conservative now anticipate a
steady improvement.
With the session of congress but a
week distant, and the senators and rep
reseutativeS coming from their homes
with object lessons of business distress
impressed upon them, there is no reason
to doubt that such relief as the repeal
Of the SHERMAN act can afford will
speedily be given.
1t is time for business men to pick
their flints and plan for an active
future, rather than devote attention to
reflection upon the past.
What has taken place cannot be
changed.
What will occur with the era of conf.
dence being surely, even though slowly,
restored is within the control of our
business men.
Renewed prosperity simply awaits
those who have the nerve and courage
to grasp it.

nnd no proof OF this in the graded
schools. You will have to go to the
country. ungraded school, where in
room in all the studies pursued, for your
proof. Then you can go into your
homes. among your children, and among
men and women and out with nature,
for confederation.
The mind of youth is an eager all
sorber Of Information and knowledge.
Its appetite is Unsuitable and unfastid-
ious. Its constant condition is wanting
to know. The child is walking inter-
rogation point. 1t learns more through
its ears than its eyes. 1t sits attentive
when the elders are talking of things
that interest it. Its mind takes food
and digests it from hundreds of sources
beside text books.
The common school utilizes this. dis
position of the child'S mind. The grad
ed school, with its one or two grades
boxed up in room, prevents it. In
the country school the instruction given
by the teacher to the advanced classes
floats through the room among all the
scholars as the sunlight does that
streams in at the windows. Conscious
ly or unconsciously, the children on the
lower forms absorb much of this in
struction. They become familiarized
with the work to which they Will soon

INhoF
such school does not recall the little
hand that went up from the back seat
when the reciting class could not answer
the question put? What does that
mean but that the child had been learn
= ing from the overflow of instruction?
Every teacher under the graded system,
where two grades were taught in the
same room. Will testify to the greater
readiness of the lower grade when it
had advanced to the upper grade
studies, and this is only due to the alb
sorption of the instruction that was
given the first grade.
This is every ones experience. We
can all recall our interest in the classes
ahead of us, and how much we learned
from listening to their recitations. The
writer remembers now the things he
learned as boy of eight listening to
the instructions of the teacher and the
Rotations of the pupils Ill the class
of what was then termed natural phil
oSophy." 1t is only what every one
can recall who was fortunate enough to
have his training amid the advantages
and flexibiity of the common school.
The problem il to combine those adj
vantages with the others which Cur city
schools present, IN order that we may
have the ideal school,
