The Great Review at New York.

Some six months ago the nation cele.
brated, with preliminary ceremonies,
the 400th anniversary of the discovery
of the western world by Christopher
Columbus. Commemoration of the
event on an elaborate scale will con-
tinue through the summer of 1893,
but no mark of distinctive honor con-
trived for the great discoverer can sur
pass in magnificence, strength and i'm
pressiveuess the great naval review in
New York harbor and the land parade
that ended the commemorative pro-
gramme. The review was distinctively
and appropriately honorary. The lead
ing nations oft the world, in way more
direct, formal and significant, and with
a higher dignity than in any other that
has been devised, united in the waters
of the world he discovered to celebrate
he's name and deeds of Columbus.
There was in the remarkable demon
stration at New York none of the sordid
element. The celebration was not
speculative or commercial. 1t was not
spectacular or unsubstantial. The
magnificent fabrics of steel, conceived
and reared by the clearest intelligence
of the age, which the great powers of all
the world sent here to represent them
and to participate in the great celebra-
ton, hostility typify the strength of the
discoveries character, his power of
mind, his hardihood and the enduring
quality of his fame. If nothing else
had been conceived, or if nothing fur
Their were to be done to celebrate the
400th anniversary of Columbus great
achievement, the display in New York
last week would have lacked no element
of completeness.

Columbian Tribute to Russia.

There is something unique in Rus
sia's friendship toward the United
States-unique and, we believe, disin-
terested and sincere. First among Eu-
ropean powers, the monarch of the
great northern empire bent kindly
look of recognition upon the American
colonies struggling for independence.
On other momentous occasions her grim
interposition on the side of the great
western republic has been a marked
historic event, as unexpected and un-
solicited as it was effective, and as ef-
fective as it was dramatic. To one of
these occasions ex.Judge Rowland of
New York, speaking for Russia at the
banquet to the foreign naval officers,
made this strikingly eloquent reference:

A Terrible Railroad Accident.

A FEARFUL railroad wreck occurred last
week on the Bare Rocks railroad four
miles south of Somerset, Pa. The Bare
Rocks railroad connects with the Somerset
& Cambria railroad at Woy's station, at
which place the wreck occurred. The road
is two miles in length and runs to a large
stone quarry operated by the owners of the
road. The grade is about 100 feet to the
mile. A train became unmanageable and
dashed down the grade with frightful velo-
city. At the foot of the incline were sew
eral loaded freight cars into which the train
plunged. On the engine were Engineer
Nef, his son, and John e. Pyle, with his
wife and daughter. The last three We're
hurled under the engine as it leaped from
the track and were instantly killed. Netf
and his son were fatally scalded. On the
train were a large number of workingmen,
some of whom jumped and escaped with
slight injuries. The others were crushed
in the wreck; how many is not yet known.
Ten bodies were recovered

"THE empire Sis peace" senten-
tiously observed Louis Napoleon at the
zenith of his imperial power. The
armored ship with its perfected enginery
of destruction that sprang from the
little Monitors revelation in Hampton
Roads thirty years ago, in larger and
sterner sense than the French emperor
intended in his historic apothegm, is
peace. Every civilized power in the
world is arming with these peace i'm
pellers, and the nation will be very
rash that provokes its neighbor to
strife. Naval warfare will not be the
old conflicts of wooden walls pouring
into each other their broadsides at close
quarters. To the wealthy cities of the
coast, war will have new and dreadful
significance. Their only salvation will
be the presence of armored vessels of
sufficient power to drive away an en-
envy that, while miles at sea, could drop
its deadly missiles into the heart of a
town. The review at New York was
exceedingly instructive. The evolution
of the American navy will be carried to
its natural conclusion. The party that
obstructs it will not have long lease
of power. The maintenance of the
nations rights and the preservation of
peace demand that the plans already
made for naval construction be carried
out without abridgement.

THE last issue of the United States
Investor exposes the fraudulent charac-
ter of land scheme that has its eastern
Office at Burlington, VT, and is, we re-
greet to see, advertised by the Free Press
of that city. Olympia, Washington, is
the new Eldorado and " East Park Adj
dition and Olympic Park Addition {"
are the particular localities in which
gullible Vermonters are asked to" plant
few dollars and watch them grow {"
with the assurance that "their har-
vest will be great" "East Park Addi-
ton" is described as San open tract of
sandy prairie lying fully three miles
from the business center of Olympia"
valueless for farming purposes and hav-
ing only the remotest probability of ever
becoming a part of Olympia or any
other city. The representations as to
" Olympia Park" are equally false and
misleading. The scheme Is worked by

firm known as Russell & Russell,
having its headquarters in Chicago and
its eastern office at Burlington. The
Free Press seems to be employed as the
bunco steerer of the concern for this
region. The " East Park lots are sold
at $50 each; So first payment and S3
monthly. The land, the Investor says,
could not be sold to-day at $40 an acre
and is not actually worth S25 an acre.
Equally barefaced are the representa-
tons as to "Olympia Park" The in
side lots are sold for 1928, the corner
lots for $3.50, but their actual value does
not exceed $40 each. The property is
two miles away from Olympia, covered
with stumps and brush, the only means
of reaching it being an irregular wagon
trail. Russell e. Russell, the Investor
says, advertise that Olympia has more
than doubled in population during the
past eighteen months, when the facts
are the city has not gained at all during
that time, having probably fewer people
than it had eighteen months ago. 1t is
described as a quiet, slow-going little
town of about 5000 inhabitants.

THE WATCHMAN in the main heart.
lily endorses the remarks of the Chris
tidn Union in the article, " A Step For
ward" on one phase of the school
question, reprinted on this page.
Probably in no other vocation is there
so great msconception, or so marked
lack of any conception at all, of the
functions of an office as in that
of the teacher of youth. The Christian
Union calls attention to one of the
weak spots in the methods of instruc-
ton. The primary weakness is in the
scheme of instruction. 1t is ga struct-
ural weakness" 1t exists in every
stage of the students course, from the
primary school to the college or univer-
sity. Cramming is the order of the day
from start to finish. The boy or girl
at graduation is like a stuffed goose
and about as well armed and equipped
for warfare Gin the worlds broad field
of battle" Who ever heard of base
ball team or a boats crew training to
win matched games or races, combining
its preparations to practice in the gym
nasium, or to instruction from a pro-
fessor? The examining process is re-
duced to practice on the diamond or
on the water. But the scheme of liter
airy instruction has little to do in con-
verting its stuffed and padded victims
into incarnations of mental Drawn, skill
and vigor, into beings trained to OBJ
serve, to think, TO act, to form right
conclusions, " to write and speak the
English language correctly" with
force, freedom and clearness. In what
should be the chief end of education, the
graduate from the district school, high
school, academy or college is pretty
likely to be about as much of vital
force as "a painted ship upon painted
ocean -
