KINDERGARTEN.

II is not necessary at the present day, to enter upon any argument in favor Of the kindergarten. Our system is not complete without kinderSarten schools.
 In the grades above the primary the re- suits are not altogether satisfactory. There are several reasons for this. some of which will cease to exist during CT after the present year. About two years ago. the course of study below the High school was shortened from nlre to eight years. This made 1t nec- essary to advance pupils in several grades beyoLd the places they were really prepared for. This deficiency of preparation still shows itself in the present year. It Is dif- dcult to obtain good textbooks and to ar- range a course of study which, in minute de- tail, shall show what ought to be taught and what omitted. The modern education calls for a much larger number of studies, and no satisfactory adjustment of the course has yet been devised. which will give the new subjects place without intrenching upon the time of the old. and teachers are wearied with the extra labor imposed. The lack of teachers and of scholars' books of reference and the lack of material for illus tratlng different lessons are serious hin. drances. In many ot the rooms the number is too large for one teacher to attend. to. The

Very few persons realize the difficulties of a teachers position, the superior qualities of mind and heart required, the Iaborious work almost drudgery sometimes. the unceasing care and anxiety, the never ending study. The time given out of school to school work often equals that spent in the class room. There are so many obstacles over which she has no control which prevent her from reach ing her ideal standard. It Is no easy posi- ton. We can speak in high commendaIion Of our teachers as body. They are faithful, industrious, earnest and constantly improv- ing.

A Good Man Gone.

The sudden and altogether unexpected
death of Phillips Brooks, d. d., Bishop
of the Diocese, of Mass. on Monday
of this week fills with gloom many hearts in
all parts of the country and leaves a vacancy
in the Bishopric of the Episcopal church that
will be exceedingly hard to fill. DIR. Brooks
had been conspicuous for many years
as the Rector of Trinity church, Boston. as
one of the oldest and most progressive of
the clergymen of that centre of religious
thought and culture. In the progressive
spirit of the age he was leader, and every
where at the very front in every good word
and work. On his elevation to the Bish-
epric of Mass, he at once entered on the
work of bringing the churches of his Diocese
into active and efficient work along the pro-
gressive line, demanded by the spirit of the
age. In brief space Of time he had &C
cOmplished much, and it is the hope
that the good work begun by him. and
through him, may not be cut off by his
death, but may go on-Ah, 60 on for the
moral elevation of society not only in Mass
achusetts but nation wide.

There is an enemy with whom thousands are
familiar all their lives because they are born
with tendency to biliousnesS. With this enc

by constipation alone, but also by sick head

nausea, furred tongue and uneasiness more par
ticularly upon pressure on the right side, upon

tives which grippe and weaken the intestnes,
and substitute the world famous anti bilious
cordial, which like wise removes malarial, stom

Our Work Needed.
The Amer1can Economist.

From The Amercan Economist.
We lately quoted the opinion of Hon. j.
O. Burrows, M. c., of Kalamazoo, Michi-
gan, that the final result of the late Repub-
liean defeat would be the permanent estab-
lishment of Protection as the national
policy.
Mr.. Burrows Is member of the WAYS
and Means Committee, and is eminently
fit to take part in the discussions which
must be had to establish that most desirable
permanency.
While Protection will be leading and
important issue, other important questions
Of course are up, and will come up.
Immigration, currency, the labor ques-
ton, temperance, suffrage-all
these, and more, are to be met and settled,
20 far as legislation can settle them. The
Republican party has been the constructive
power, sweeping away wrong and putting
right in its place, inspired by ideas in the
light of which it ended chattel slavery and
built up protection to free labor all through
our wide land. 1t has not been free from
error; but 1t has been Of saving. worth and
value. Its work in coming years must be
along the same upward and onward lines,
failing To follow which 1t dies.
1t must set what truth and justice the
living issues and reforms may bring us into
the fair and lasting foundations and frame
work Of q progressive nation.
The Democratic party has no ideas, has
had none for half century. Doubtless
there are good men who are Democrats;
but tho party has no constructive power,
no inspiration to light Its path, and there
fore It can only obstruct and pull down.
Its main aim today Is to make blum
dering effort to pull down our industrial
prosperity, and thus lower the level of the
fife of the people. 1t Is blind to expert
ence and without foresight. 1t forgets
everything worth remembering and learns
only what is not worth knowing. 1t does
not mean what 1t says, for Its platforms
ara the deceptive s0phisms Of expediency,
~ the statements Of convictions.

 His Brilliant Career.
 Samuel Blatchford was born in New York city, March g, 1890. He was the son of Richard Milford Blatchford. distin- yuished lawyer of his time. He studied in the public schools of the city and was grad uated from Columbia college in the class of 1887. In 1889 he became the private secre- tary of Governor Seward, and held the po- ition until he was admitted to the bar in lS42. He began the practice of law in New York city, but removed three years later to Auburn, where he became the law part ner of Governor Seward. In 1859 Justice Blatchford began the publication of the decisions of the United States circuit court. Two years later he returned to New York where he practiced law until he was ele- vated to the federal bench. In 1867 Presi- dent Johnson made him United States dis trict judge for the southern district of New York, in which position he served with distinguished success until 1878. In that year President Hayes appointed him circuit judge for the second judicial cir cult, and in 1882 he was again promoted to be an associate justice of the United States supreme court to succeed Ward Hunt, by President Arthur.
 Justice Blatchford was regarded as the highest authority in the United States upon questions arising in admiralty law. His long experience as judge of the south srn district of New York had made him in- timately familiar with that difficult branch of the law, and many of the most import ant decisions in admiralty cases rendered by the United States supreme court in the last % years were written by him. Justice Blatcstord in personal appear ance was notable He had an erect and sturdy carriage, he had a vigorous consti- tuition and he was fond of open air exer- else. Although he passed the sge of re | tirement in 1S90 he was SO vigorous both In body and mind that he refused to sur render his life work. He was fond of so- | oiety and entertained handsomely at his home in Washington.
