FREELAND, PA, APRIL 20, 1898
democratic Advisers.

Three gentlemen, an Independent, q
Democrat and Republican, respective
ly advise the Democratic party how to
use the great opportunity before it. The
Independent is Hon. Seth Low, president
of Columbia college, New York, the
Democrat is Hon. Oswald Ottendorfer
and the Republican is Hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge.
Mr.. Low says that the election of
President Cleveland was victory for the
principles advocated by him; also for the
man himself, because voters had conf
dence that he would adhere to those
principles through thick and thin. Mr.,
Cleveland was elected, in the estimation
of President Low, chiefly because he IA
vored tariff reform and civil service re-
form, and because he was opposed to ex-
travagant pension and other Legislation.
If now the Democratic party will go in
for tariff reform, if it will destroy the
spoils system and also break up the Dem
ocratic local party machine, then, in the
estimation of Mr.. Low, it will be the rul-
ing party in this country for long time
Mr.. Oswald Ottendorfer is especially
concerned about the silver dollar. He
plants himself on the gold basis as on
the rock of his salvation, and says this
country is now dancing on a volcano.
The volcano may, so to speak, erupt and
blow us into financial kingdom come at
any moment just so long as we continue
"to dump the proceeds of silver mines
into the national treasury and issue
therefor treasury notes interchangeable
for gold or silver coin." This practice
Mr.. Ottendorfer considers on par with
the teaching that it requires only an
act of congress to make 60 cents worth
of silver equal to dollar in gold" One
gathers that Mr.. Ottendorfer is "gold-
bug" and considers the repeal of the
Sherman silver act of 1890 as the most
bowling duty of the Democratic party
and the Fifty-third congress.
Then there is Hon. Cabot Lodge. He
is by no means obscure as to what his
idea of the Democratic duty of the hour
is. 1t is to inaugurate free trade. "Un-
less the victorious party is false to the
plainest kind of pledge, they must sweep
protection from the statute books" He
declares the new system must have a
fair trial, and the party in power must
raise government revenues by methods
which can give no protection whatever.
If their system is successful, we will
stick to it. If it is failure, out the
voters of the country will whop the Dem
ocrats, and in will go the Republicans
again, thinks Mr.. Lodge.

War and Baked Beans.

1t is good story, that told by R. K.
Munkittrick in Harpers Magazine. He
was walking "along the bluff at Sias-
consett" when he was accosted by a
venerable man who had been in the war.
The old fellows case seemed a pathetic
one, as he told how strong he was be-
fore the war, how he could do anything
ere the fatal years of army service that
had sapped his vigor and reduced him
to wreck. He said sadly that he had
been whole week "a-paintin that there
stoop." He was not so old yet, he said;
would not be 7S till February, and he
ought to be as lively as a cricket still.
He felt that he would have been indeed
only for the war that had ruined his
health and made him an old man before
his time. Munkittrick sympathized, and
the veteran told how the war had
knocked him out:
Ut was the war that done it," he continued,
with great feeling. II came back all chock
tull OF rheumatic and malary, and amt never
Oeen the same man since. | tell you that war
was an awful failure for me-"
1T was very sad affair" said In q kind
attempt to be sympathetic.
YES" he replied, sit was. Why, do you
know what could do before the war;"
No"
WELL" he continued, ~ could sit down and
eat 10 plates Of baked beans for breakfast with
out turning hair, and now can't eat ono
plateful to save my life."

HENRY GEORGE.
Annie Besant on Human Development.

Regarding the civilization of the western
world in the light of the esoteric philoso-
ply, judge it as success or as failure as
it approaches toward or recedes from the
ideal of brotherhood, as it encourages OF
thwarts the spiritual progress of man.
The rapid increase of wealth In the hands
Of a comparatively small class; the grow
ing control of natural forces by ever widen
ing knowledge; the exclusion of vast num-
bers of the population from the benefits of
this growing control the advancing edu-
cation of the laboring classes and their
ever improving methods of combination
these and many other causes are produc-
ing a state of social tension which must re-
suit in social change-peaceful or other
wise.
1t is against brotherhood that million
aires and starving men and women should
coexist in society. 1t is against brother
hood that the growing control of natural
forces should make few scandalously rich
and leave the many scandalously poor. A
society based on unbrotherly competition
instead of ON brotherly cooperation cannot
last any more than can last building
built in defiance of the laws Of mechanics.
Hence regard our present social system as
doomed to collapse as other systems have
collapsed which were open to the same
criticism.
Another reason for regarding this system

The Science of Medicine in oos.

1t gives me much satisfaction to predict
that marked change will take place in
the science of medicine BY 1893 doctors
will prescribe no more than third of the
drugs they now think necessary. The true
relation of the muscular, system to the Or
ganic system and their combined influence
on the nervous system will become more
fully and generally understood. The COM
bined action of the patient $ mind and mus
cles will be depended on instead of drugs to
prevent, allay and cure disease
In theology more change will be mani
fest in practice than in preaching, though
sermons, too, will be different. Ministers
will instruct their hearers in the philosophy
of pure morality and teach them how to
live The government of the body by in
telligent reason will be the enc virtue in
culcated; ignorance and laziness will be
the sins condemned and punished. The
man who does not know how to keep his
own body in health will be considered as
great sinner as the man who cannot read
and write.
In methods of education there will be, in
my Judgment, marked changes. The tend
ency will be to return to the methods of
the old Greeks, slight practical idea of
which can be obtained in any lecture room
of one OF our medical colleges. Instruction
will be given orally; the practicing of the
lessons will be done anywhere and every
where; children will be allowed to play or
study as they please. The veto power that
teachers now exercise over children leav-
ing the room during school hours will be
taken from them. School children will
have playground instead of yard for
recreative purposes, and they will not be
made to walk around it in lockstep man
ner. They will rather be melted to romp,
shout and play.
Physical culture, so termed, call physical
destruction, and it will not be taught. A
knowledge of how to breathe, sit, stand,
stoop, walk and run will comprise all the
physical training that is necessary, and
even that will not be forced on children
under fifteen years old. Their physical
training will come, moreover, rather from
their parents than from their teachers. To
cover the whole field of education, in brief,
the reasoning faculties will be developed
instead of the memorizing ones, and hair
line writing, along with children in spec
tacles, will be among the things Of the past.

tain manner too technical here to explain
may be passed from one conductor to an
other without any intermediary connection,
like wire. 1t will go through a stone wall
precisely as light goes through glass.
The possibilities which lie in this discov-
cry are simply enormous, and they may
revolutionize some forms of development
For instance, it may have powerful influ-
ence in the conduct of the wars which may
break out in the Twentieth century, if any
do. If it is possible to convey the electric
current from one disk to another in a room
without any medium, it might be possible
TO direct it from proper motor upon shore
to the iron sides of great war vessel and
with such intensity as instantly to melt
the iron or steel plates as though they had
been struck by lightning.
The use of the fashlight and the great
electric refiectors is sure to be very general
I'D military operations in the next century,
and some of my acquaintances have some
times suggested-not wholly in n fippant
spirit-that electricity itself may be the
great destructive agent employed in mill
tary operations in the Twentieth century.
But more practical than This suggestion
is another which is perfectly reasonable.
am inclined to think that the development
the mightiest factors in the urban civiliza-
t1on of the next century, The indications
now are that it may solve some of the prob
lens of overcrowding which have vexed
the social economists, and on the other
hand, may give to those who live in rural
districts just that relief and recreation of
which they are now deprived and which
they SO greatly desire
suspect that the trolley railway will be
found extending from the hearts of our
great cities far out into the country dis
tricts and over the highways so that it will
be possible for a man to step from his front
yard or farmer to go from his driveway
directly into one of these cars and at the
rate of twenty miles an hour or therea-
bouts be conveyed to the city. He will not
be obliged to bother about time tables. The
cars will run with frequency and at trifling
expense They are simply going to ami
hilate distance and to make the man who
lives in the country to all intents and pur-
poses an inhabitant of the nearest city. 1t
is easy to see what an important effect this
will have upon the problems of great mu-
inequalities.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-04-20

The next move in naval progress will
probably be to sheathe the bottoms of
the new cruisers with a coating of wood
and copper. The sheathing prevents the
accumulation of barnacles upon the
ships steel bottom, and the consequent
frequent docking and cleaning which
this fouling makes necessary. The heavy
clogging Of the barnacles and other sub
stances makes the vessels bottom so
rough and heavy that her progress is
seriously impeded, and her coal bills run
inordinately high. Besides that one of
of our new cruisers could not run away
from an enemy if her bottom was fouled
with barnacles.
