PHYSICAL culture and Elocution.

"Get the best" must be the motto for
Americans in everything. There is no
doubt of the necessity for physical cul-
ture and elocutionary training in every
school in this country. Young Amer
leans of the coming generation must be
as beautiful and golden voiced as the an
cient Greeks, whom perhaps they will re-
semble intellectually. But there are war;
ring factions of bodily trainers. There
are divers so called "systems" of elocu-
ton. Which is the best? Certain infal-
lible signs will guide the seeker after in
formation straight through all uncer-
tainties.
He may set down two points. What
ever physical training does not make its
teachers strong, erect, graceful and full
of health and vigor is failure. If the
teacher who pretends to be so in love
with the science of making muscular
movements express mental emotions is
barrel bodied, round shouldered and sal
low, bulging out in places where she
ought to go in, following in at places
where she ought to be filled out, then that
system is no good, though she ''poses' like
all the gods of Olympus. The direct OBJ
ject of physical culture is to give health,
strength and gracefulness for everyday
life, to cure our dyspepsia, our waddling,
our fat or our scragginess and toeing in.
Many wise persons are coming to the
conclusion that just the plain, modern
military drill, without any frills at all,
is the best for all these objects.
In elocution, if the teacher speaks with
manifestly stilted, affectedly sweet or
deep voice and manner, then he or she is
to be sat upon and not tolerated. What
we Americans most of all want is to
learn to open our mouths wider when
we speak, to make the muscles of the
jaws and throat more flexible, to stop
mouthing and nosing our words and to
let them flow in sweet, clear, even tones,
without being obstructed either in the
back OF the throat or the nasal passages
There, for the average citizen, all train
ing" should stop. OF detestable things,
the most to be detested is affectation in
any shape. Better even the crude, mud
dy, animallike tones of the boor than
atfectation. On the other hand. there is
no charm greater than that OF IA sweet.
clear, cultivated, magnetic voice.

Scientific Child Study

The unexplored kingdom of childhood
is occupying the attention of educators
now as it never has done. before. 1t is
not creditable to civilized intelligence
that up to this time no systematic effort
has been made to find out and classify
the thoughts of the little ones and their
estimates of facts and phenomena about
them. Parents can help in this new de-
parture by interviewing their children of
tender age. The quaint wisdom, often
times the real originality, of the human
beng of tender years is a sealed book to
mankind chiefly because nobody ever
thought of inquiring into the thoughts
and ideas of childhood Parents and
teachers would be astonished at the re-
suit if, for instance, they should ask
child to describe a horse. 1t is a hoary
custom to ''shoo shoe" the young ones in
to silence with the dictum "Children
must not ask questions" How, pray,
are they to learn anything if tho bright
eager young mind does not ask Questions?
An entertainment that would bring
rich results of knowledge to prent or
teacher might be set on foot bN having
each young member of family d school
tell what made it the happiest AID what
it most desired. The disposition of the
children would thus be brought lout in
vivid light. And the answers wdild not
all indicate preference for bys or
things to eat either. There wa,ld be
an originality that the school ttaining
should not be allowed to crush ot

Our friends the Populists get OCCASION
ally recruit to their ranks from the
goldbug camp. Many man who can
, not go with them in their ideas of gov
ernment ownership of railroads and tel
egraphs quite agrees with them that the
government ought to issue all the paper
money. The argument is advanced that,
if the United States government alone
has the right under the constitution to
coin money, then it should have the ex-
elusive right also to print the paper
money which represents coin.
The financial writer of the New York
Sun, Mr.. Matthew Marshall, though in
the very hotbed of the banking interests
of the country, favors a government cur
rency to the exclusion of all other kinds.
The paragraph quoted below from one of
his recent letters defines his half Populist
goldbug position:
The various descriptions of our natioual pa
per money should be reduced to one in name
and in form as they are now in substance. Sill
yer certificates, for example, ought to be legal
tenders as well as the silver dollars which
they call for, and a greenback or a treasury.
note ought to be as certainly rcdeemable in
gold as the gold certificates are. This uniform
ity can be secured by having one kind of gov
ernment paper money, and no more, and max
ing that one kind specifically redeemable in
gold, while IL nearer approach TO symmetrical
simplicity would be attained if all bank circu-
iation, national as well state, were TO be sup
pressed. Certainly if government money is
good enough to be a part of our circulating me-
dunn, it is good enough to be the whole, and if,
as many people maintain, it ought not to be is
sued at all, then a scheme must be devised to
substitute for it a bank circulation which shall
be in equal credit in all parts of the country.

The kear,ace Wrecked.

Advices state that the gallant old ship
the Kearsage is no more. On Feb. she
was wrecked on the Roncador reef,
which is about 200 miles from the Mo
squito coast in Central America. 1t is
believed all the crew are saved.
In losing the Kearsage the United
States will miss the most prominent ves-
sci which figured in the late civil war.
No American history is complete without
an account of that gallant combat on
Sunday, June l., 1861, in which the
Kearsage, commanded by Capt. j. A.
Winslow, sunk that corsair of the seas,
the Alabama, commanded by Capt
Semmes.
1t is interesting to note that it was
the Alabama's ruthless warfare which
gave rise to the celebrated Alabama
claims by which a dangerously dis
puted question was submitted to arbi
tration by England and the United
States, and the peaceful decision of
which may probably be considered
precursor of coming international peace.
We quote the following from the col
umns of the Pioneer Press. 1t shows
that Maj. Folsom fully appreciates the
industrial activity of Great Falls: "Were
Mr.. Folsom a resident of Great Falls,
Mont, he could not speak more enthusi-
astically of the town where he has Just

not by Great Falls citizens alone, but
by residents throughout the territory be-
tween the Mississippi and Puget sound.

sidetracks are already being put down.
This line will add 100 cars day to the
business of Great Falls. The pay rolls

The bulk of the money lenders of the
world are poor people who deposit IN
savings and discount banks. They have
dread of debt and accordingly let some
body else lend their money for them
This is because they do not feel them
selves capable of doing business. When
panic alarms them they Withdraw their
savings and all business that depends
upon borrowed money suffers. The
bulk Of sthe rich men of the world are
borrowers instead of lenders. Indeed,
the fortunes of the Goulds and Wander
bilts are chiefly in equities in mortgaged
property. Their stocks are mostly in
railroads on top OF which are heavy and
permanent mortgages. No matter how
rich they.become it never occurs to them
to pay off the mortgages on the railroads
and "gets out of debt" Railroads are
simply improved real estate.
The real estate business is essentially
borrowing one. Large dealers are
usually heavy borrowers. When real
estate man is out of debt he is practi-
cally cleaned up and retired from bust
ness. 1t is amusing for him to try to
get out of debt and try to continue in
business. y shrewd dealer in dirt gets
rich through his debts! This can be
said of no other legitimate business in
the world. But the statement will bear
investigation.

REALTY INVESTMENTS.

| The last few months have taught their
lesson. Investors and speculators alike
have been sorely hurt in the vast dt :
probation of their stocks of all kindf.
Particularly is this true of "industrials.
For months the financial world has stood
still celebrating what way to turn;
what safest investment they should vent
ure upon.
1t needs no second sight to observe
the trend. Gradually, little by little,
quietly and one by one these sharper
ones are dipping into real estate Sew
eral eastern papers, notably the New
York World, are observant of this new
drift, and the signs of the times ave
averred to be that the next boom to
seize upon the people throughout these
United States will be one in real estate.
That which began in 1883 started in
southern California and spread rapidly
all over the country. There has been
more activity in Los Angeles property
this winter than for six years past. His
tory repeats itself. Watch this augury
Of realty revival.

In debating what to do with their idle
money many who withdrew it during the
scare have put their funds into realty;
others, who have had time to reflect, have
recovered confidence to such degree
that the masses have returned their
money to the banks The result is the
latter are glutted with more funds than
they know what to do with. With such
large sums on hand banks all over the
country refuse to pay interest on any
more deposits. This stim ulates the men
of boards to think further, What shall
do with my money? The answer is

THE SUGAR TAX.

The old law, replaced by the McKin-
ley tariff, taxed raw sugar two cents
per pound. Nine tenths of the raw
sugar we use is imported 1t is impor-
ted by the refiners, who paid on 1t a
duty of $6o,OOO,OOO yearly, every cent of
which went into the United States
treasury. This was real revenue tax,
giving incidental protection to the
Louisiana cane growers.
The Mckinley law repealed this tax
on raw sugar, every cent of which for
merly went into the treasury, thus CIV
ing the sugar trust its raw material
free. But-and herein lay one infamy
of the Mckinley lava tax of one half
a cent per pound was retained on re-
fined sugar. No refined sugar is i'm
ported; and American refined sugar has
sold during the last three years at one
half cent per pound higher in this
country than it is sold for export.
The Mckinley tax of one half cent
per pound on the 4,00O,000,0 600 pounds of
sugar consumed yearly, put $4,000, 900
year into the Golfers OF the sugar
trust, and not one cent of this enor-
nous annual blackmail went into the
treasury.
The Mckinley bill cheapened sugar
by the two cents that went into the
treasury, but it left the half cent on the
refined. or, s11.2O ton, clear gift to
the trust of s2O,OoO,OOO a year
The Senate bill just passed. restores
the tax on raw sugar-the revenue tax

but sugar will ADVANCE in price over

tax. The Sugar bill also places an
additional tax on refined sugar of one

what the trust gets in Tl3ea of the half
a cent per pound given ~ tie McKin-
ley law The trust now gets $3.50 per
ton instead of the s112O it got under
the Mckinley law. The trust now gets
S5.O0O,oOO per year instead of $4,000
900 per year it got under the Mckinley
law.
The Democrats did their utmost to
abolish altogether the yearly plumber
of $2O,OO0,0OO enjoyed by the SUGAR
trust; but four of the forty-tour DEM
ocrats in the senate had apparently
been hired by the trust and it was pos
sible only to abolish three fourths Of

there been only four out of the forty
Republicans in the senate that did not
wear the trusts collar, 1t would still
have been abolished, despite the trea-
cherry of the four Democratic deserters.

WILL THEY FOLLOW SUIT.

We wonder how Messrs. Allen and
James and the members of the newly
Ioranized Republican club in the Fifth
precinct feel over the name of their
society. The Republican organ an

Mr.. c. E. Allen suggested that the

and Mr.. w. f. James seconded the
suggestion with an eloquent speech eu-

will be prepared to endorse the senti-
ments of that eminent advocate of

of the same paper he is reported as
expressing himself thusly:
Having become fully convinced the

terably opposed to the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of Is to /, or at all,

1t was on the evening of Tuesday
that the club was christened John p.

name of John P. Jones' reputation of
the Republican party arrived. If the
club follows the noble example of the
gentleman whose name it bears. all
will be plain sailing. If not, we'll it
will be palpable inconsistency; but
that does not seem to trouble Repub-
licans much, as their whole system is
pregnant with inconsistencies
1t is safe to say. however. that if
the dispatch had arrivedsearlier in the
day Messrs. Allen and James would
not have been so ready to name the club

inent Democrat remarked when crowds
of people were laughing on the Fifth
