his being brought back. He said that

come back. / asked him why he did
not remain and tellthe truth. He
said that if he got money enough he
would go away again, and spoke of

just what he wanted, and he said that

testify against him and break down
his evidence. He said that his testi-
flying would depend upon ''the way

whistles which are often heard in thea
ters, but seldom in the halls of congress.

The Wilson Bill and Minnesota.

Congressman McCleary, of the Second
Minnesota district, spoke in the house
last night against the Wilson bill. Mr..
McCleary's strong point was that the bill
would deprive the people of his district
and the agricultural classes in general of
the opportunity afforded b; the Repub-
lican tariff of diversifcation of their in
dustry.
Mr.. McCleary made good point. The
success of diversifcation in farming de-
pends on large and growing urban pop
ulation near by. Successful diversified
farming depends upon the market for
dairy products, vegetables and fruits, as
we'll as pork, beet, poultry, eggs, etc.;
but in order to have such market it is
necessary to have an industrial popula-
tlon, and unless the manufacturing in
terests of the country are to be encour-
aged and developed near home, the pro-
| fit and success of diversified farming
"ould ne impaired, IL not destroyed, and
the farmer thrown back upon the neces-
sity of producing only those things
which can be shipped cheaply in bulk
long distances to foreign or remote pop
ulations engaged in the business of man
ufacturing the supplies which he con-
sumes. The best thing that could hap
pen to the farmer of Minnesota would be
special encouragement toward manufac
turing and such industrial development
as would make his neighboring town
manufacturing center and local mar
ket for the produce of his tlocks and dali
ry and poultry yards Minneapolis Jour-
nal.

Needed, Moral Reorganization of Edu-
cation.

Now it may as we'll be said once for
all that the teaching of either religion or
ethics, both in the public schools and
the colleges, has no tendency whatever
to improve the morality of any one.
This may seem to be paradoxical, but it
can be demonstrated.
Moral education is not otaccomplished by
any form of doctrinal teaching. Tie
| memory and reasoning powers may be
! thus developed, but the conscience never.
Moral education can be effected only in
three ways, which I may briefly express
in three terms-exam pie, humanity, and
discipline. More fully expressed. these
forces are the personal character and
habits of the teacher, personal affection
for students, and the disciplinary infuen-
ces of life, organized on rational basis.
If we are to have an educational sys-
tenn which shall boast of its moral char
acter and influence, it must be organized
on basis qualified to produce that re-
suit. Men must be employed who, like
DR.. Thomas Arnold of Rugby, can give
themselves up to moulding the character
of students, and not to mere personal
aggrandizement IN science, literature, art
and philosophy. But not even in our
religious institutions is such policy
thought Of, much less in the public
schools. They are all organized upon a
mercantile and economic bas is. Appoint
ments, promotions and salaries are all
regulated by policy that confers prem
iums either upon purely intellectual
capacities or upon all those questionable
resources Of power and influence which
a tender conscience despises. No attempt
is made to discover his devotion to the
development of men, and then to place
him where he need have no concern re-
garding his position and responsibilities.
The mOralization of the student must
begin by the moralization of the system
of instruction, and this can be accomp-
lished only by abandoning the mercantile
and economic method for moral one.
The competition in education should not
b.. for numbers of students, Is now, nor
for merely great scholars as teachers, but
also for those who know how to win the
affections of students and to commands
their reverence for moral qualities
