Messrs. Gladdlng and Mertz gave a
very interesting description OF the Bos-
ton schools in regard to the work done
in manual training and kindergarten
work. The subject OF the common
school branches was then fully discuss
ed. 1t was the sense Of the Round Table
that mathematical power is lost sight
OF in teaching arithmetic, which should
not be the case. 1t seems that the
child gets the mechanical part and not
the power to think for himself.
Mr.. Jones. OF BelIaire, said the object
OF geography was to give the child a
conception OF the earth as the home Of
man, The subject OF geography was
discussed at length.
The next subject taken up was what
the schools need most, Better profess
sional training; better supervision;
moro efficient teachers; more male
teachers; q compulsory school law we'll
enforced, and better salaries, We're sug-
gested. This proved to be the most in'
teresting subject Of the session.
The session adjourned to meet April

Europe which amounts to about two
billions of dollars. Three fourths of
these two billions is now in Europe and
contains three per cent less of silver than
our 412-k grain dollars. and all of these
European silver dollars coined years ago
float on par with gold money through
out all Europe but if we pass the Harter
Bill, which will destroy nearly all our
silver money here. and stop all silver
coinage, the western governments of
Europe that are controlled by the money
class, the common people having but little
voice, will melt down their silver money
in order to increase the yearly revenues
their creditor class are receiving from
foreign countries and to give their people
cheaper food, but so long as we shall hold
to free silver coinage our commercial and
wealth supremacy are so great that the
bullion would be re-coined by US and keep
the worlds coinage the same as now, and
increasing instead of diminishing in the
future by reason of the coinage of both
metals instead of one. This would des-
troy all the object for Europe to melt up
her silver money and thereby prevent its
being done as she would not cause any
contraction and would lose three per cent
in weight by attempting it. The policy OF
Cleveland is that which produced the
demonetizing of silver and is just as
wicked and should be resisted by all good
citizens.

WOMEN GET OFF CARS BACKWARD.

WOMEN GE OfF rCARS 6ACNWRHO.
They Are Usually Thinking Of Walking
Back Over the Route.
After the woman had rolled over two
or three times in the dust and made q
voluminous display Of lingerie, she strug-
gled to her feet. Her face was very red,
her back hair was terribly mussed and
her draperies in most inartistic disorder.
She scornfully refused to give her name
to the conductor, who rushed to her as
sistance, and would not say whether she
was hurt. AS she turned to walk away
the conductor whistled ''go ahead" and
smiles began to show among the passen-
gers.
"She's like all the rest of 'em. " was the
contemptuous commentof the conductor
as he jumped on the car.
II never knew conductor who
stopped his train at the right place" :"
sneered fat woman who overheard the
conductors remark. Its the greatest
wonder in the world that more people
are not killed by thecarelessness of them
conductors. They haven't bit Of &C
commodation In their souls"
"Did you hear that woman?" inquired
another passenger. ''She blames the
conductor for that woman's tumble and
will in all probability alight from the
car backward when she reaches her
destination. | have been close OBJ
server of this perverse habit of women
who ride on the street cars, and believe
that have solved the problem.
why do they turn their faces the
wrong way2 saw a theory advanced
the other day in newspaper that left
handed women were never seen to take
tumble because their stronger arm
aided them to retain their balance when
alighting. But it really makes no differ
ence whether woman is left or right
handed She gets on a car and tells the
conductor. to let her off at Twenty-frst
street She has been down town shop
ping and is in a hurry to reach home.
''All the time the cable is pulling her
homeward she keeps thinking Of how
much she will have to do when her jour
ney is ended. The conductor yells,
'Twenty-frst street,
''She is aroused with start from her
study, intent only on getting off the car.
You have noticed, no doubt, that cable
train always passes crossing before it
stops. There is the whole secret of a
wonlan's many tumbles She. would be
safe and happy if the conductor would
only stop the train SO she could step off
at the right spot exactly. But the car
passes the crossing, and unconsciously
she turns her face in the direction she
wishes to go If she would wait until
the car stops all would be well, but the
thought that she is being carried past her
destination makes her hurry. Before the
car stops, she thinks Of the few extra
steps she will have to take II she is
carried any farther and jumps off.
You know the rest. and there is the true
reason why % women in 100 get off a
street car backward. The Tooth woman
is Oh the rear seat Of the last car and
steps off vt the right place. ~ Chicago

States. We are drifting toward a
monarchy and they towards a re-
public.
Only a few weeks since, Senat6p
HOar of Massachusetts in arguing
against an amendment to the conSti-
tuition providing for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
OF the people said:
Il am not afraid to say to the American
people that it is dangerous to trust any
great power of the government to their
direct and inconsiderate control"
President Lincoln once said:
"Keep near the people, because they
are always right" Compare these
two sentences, and then ask yourself,
whittier are we drifting?
1t is infinitely wiser to remove the
cause which has produced the non
property holder and non-taxpayer
than to diSfranchiSe him, and it is a
thousand times better to provide an
education for every citizen than to
build dam across the stream of il
literate voters, which at high tide
will give way and damn us all. An
absolute free ballot, with no other
qualifications than that of loyal cit
izenship, unrestricted by force bills,
either state or national, unpurchased
and counted as cast, is the only safe
guard for the perpetuity of our insti-
buttons. II. e. TAUBENECK.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1893-06-07

Observe the remarkable difference
in the number of votes cast in pro-
portion to the population in some of
the states: The voting population of
Mississippi, on ratio of one vote to
five inhabitants, is 267 1920, but at the
last election only $500 were returned
1855 per cent of the voting strength
not going to the polls. The third
congressional district, comprising 10
counties, with population of 1874 ,297,
cast only 1914 vOtes-One vote to
every 62.06 inhabitants. Thus T. G.
Catchings holds seat in congress
with less than8 per cent of the voting
population in his district going to the
polls. Boliver county, in the same
district, with population of 29,9SO
returned 295 votes, or one to every
lO1.6 inhabitants. This county in
1883 cast 1888 votes, of which 1926
were for Harrison.
The following table gives the actual
vote cast in 1892, and the total voting
strength in each of the following
states, on a ratio of one vote to every
five Inhabitants:
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1893-06-07

half the number returned by Texas.
The distribution of the prohibition
vote is almost reversed. The sixteen
states north and east of the rivers
named above, gave Bidwell $4,000
votes, while the twenty-eigh states
west and south of those rivers gave
him only 9O,1S1. Another notable fact
is, that the prohibition vote princi-
pally comes from cities, while the
populist vote is almost entirely from
the rural districts, which makes the
former an urban party, while the lat
ter has strong coloring of the agri-
cultural element.
The representatives of the fifty
third congress, like the electors, con-
tain many who did not receive a ma
jOrity of the votes in their districts.
The present house consists of 354
of which 247 were elected
by majorities of the popular vote and
1O7 by pluralities. The latter num-
Der is composed of IS democrats; 46
and three populists.
The states west of the Mississippi
and south of the Ohio and Potomac
rivers, have Up representatives in
congress, of which 122 were elected by
majorities and so by pluralities.
These same states in 1890 contained
only 20 members elected by plurali-
ties.
The most interesting feature of the
last campaign beyond all question is
a comparison of the total vote re-
turned with the population. This
feature should be thoroughly ventila-
ted by the reform press.
According to the census of 1890, and
the election returns for '92, the Unit
ed States has an average of one vote
for every 81 inhabitants. The fol-
lowing table gives the number of in
habitants for each vote cast at the
last election in seven southern, five
eastern and six western states:

SIR VERITAS AND THE KING.

Written for the REPRESENTATIVE.
The coutiers gathered round the throne,
and piled the King with praises:
wiser art thou than Solomon ."-cried
they in fulsOm phrases:
Greater than David in the prime of all
Braver than he of feudal time, renown'd
In song and story;
Thy manly beauty is the theme that
thrills the bardS with pleasure;
The wealth of Ind me1ts, like dream,
before thy golden treasurer
So. link by link, they forged a chain to
bind their royal master
Unto their ends. cloud of pain, fore
shade of disaster.
Loomed darkly on the monarch's 'front.'
y, He turned in sudden anger
10 one, who, SILENT bore the brunt of all
that courtly clangOr;
Sir VeritaS, his Oldest knight hic
bravest. and his wisest:
scOrn thou i'll disguisest!
"Silent may fare that tongue of thine. but
mute are not these glances.
Which smite our heart with force condign,
like stroke of pOiSOn'd lanceS!
Speak; yeritasI!".-The courtier old stood
forth before his fellf VS.,
With brow as stern, with mien as bold as
dauntless, as Othellos
II cannot join these sycophants in laud-
For indignation's burning lance hath
smote me with it's fire.
IF thou vert wise as Solomon, and greater
far than David,
Or, hadst thou, lion-hearted one. our
cause from ruin saved,
Right, gladly would I add my need, to
- swell thy tide of glory,
q nd
nown'd in song and glory;
mi, tongue that eer deceived thee
Thou art tyrant without ruth-our
wrongs have never grieved thee!
"Thy peoples miseries have ne'er d.
vorced thee from thy treasures,
Their hunger and their gaunt despair
have never dash'd thy pleasures!
They groaned beneath their weary load:
The OCEAN sars Of tber taars gba
around thy fOOtstOol daily;
But thou vert blind, as we'll as deaf: on
Self thy thoughts were conferred;
Lo! to thy closet, ,hope-bereft, Nemesis
now hath entered!"
Out-leaped the great soul of The King
from eyes with wonder flaming;
ne glared around upon that ring of serfs,
their falSehOOd Shaming;
Glared fercely on those parasites, who
spake him but to fiatter:
come. Veritas,-reform these Knights
whose coward teeth do chatter!
Reform them in thy valiant school
wherein are fashioned heroes:
Who speaks of fame Cf knave or foon
confounds our fame with Nero's!
20 Veritas!"-(pride at an end-the strong
mans tears fast streaming)-
above all venal scheming! 01'
our premier be thou henceforth, with
wisdom crOwn'd, and beauty,
Who dared to tell the kim the trntb ana
nerve him to his duty!'' 80 -
