All public men receive vast numbers of let
tiers containing advice from all over the coun-
try. 1t is a truth that nothing is so plentiful
or so freely offered. James @. Blaine said once,
after he had become famous Il have only to
announce that | am at work on a subject, say
for the purpose OF preparing speech to get
letters from every source containing iEforma-
ton and advice about that particular thing"
The President gets the largest share OF this
class of matter or rather he does not get 1t, be-
cause he knows nothing of such letters unless
his Private Secretary chooses TO tell him. In
fact, his Private Secretary may not see them
either, unless for prudential reasons his atten-
ton is called to them by the clerk who opens
the mail Many of these contain threats both
mild and violent, and they are greatly in
creased during crisis such as the late strike.

Here is good one on the woman who adopts

OF course there must be some fun in being
enormously wealthy or so many people who
can really afford to be poorer would be so. But
there are apparently Disadvantages. What can
DO the use and delight in owning 60 dozen
forks, for instance. as is proudly chronicled of
one New York bride. 1t must be as much of
bore as keeping cutlery store to have to pro-
vide for the housing shining, counting and
using of five dozen forks, and where can be the
commensurate joy in owning them? And ac-
cording to long newspaper accounts another
New York woman has so magnificent punch

Fire Proof Safety Deposit Building ali the time,
except Christmas aud Thanksgiving Days when
it is brought forth TO grace the feasts. For three
hundred ard sixty three days and quarter all
its beauty and splendor is wasted Then As to
owning gold dinner services. There is a large
proportion of US women who do not own gold
dinner services, and it may be case OF sour
grapes to say we do not want TO, but what can
be the use? To have the only gold dinner
service in the country, or even the only one in
the city of New York, might give certain ex-
cnsveness and dignity 20 ones character
like Coopers passenger who was the admired
possessor of s. pairs of trousers-but there are
six or eight women right in that one city who
possess this distinction-that is, they own gold

the newspapers do not know how many others
there are at large over the country TO further
divide the honors SO, owning gold dinner
service does not satisfactorily isolate one from
the everyday world, and as china and silver
are better for actual practical purposes, these
long accounts of what is deemed luxury gives
US pause, and we truly are not envious.

THE FlTHiAN BILL.

A determined effort is being made in
New York to carry the Fithian free ship
bill through Congress. Interviews with
steamb boat men are being printed. the pur-
port of which is that if ships could be
bought in the cheapest market and given
American registers. the ocean carrying
trade would become profitable. One gentle
man says:
We could start lines at once II we could pur-
chase where we wanted and lines so started
could be made to pay big interest on thu in-
vtstment 1 don't believe in subsidies. They
will not. as general thing, induce people to
put their money into anything.
This advocate of free ships does not be-
lieve in subsidies, but he goes on to say:
The only vessels worth buying to-day are
those OF 5000 tons, with triple expansion en-
gnes and twin screws, of a speed OF from
twelve to fifteen knobs an hour. These vessels
cannot be built here now save at a tremendous
cost. While il is true that other nations give
subsidies in general way, the principle is
foreign to any decent business; 1t has nothing
to do with honest business.
1t seems hardly worth while to admit
cheap ships for the purpose of competing
in business in which our competitors
have the advantage OF subsidies. The
ocean carrying trade is now done by the
nations that can bid the lowest. If Great
Britain gives her steamboat lines subsidies,
the full amount of such subsidies is taken
out of the cost of running the vessels.
The passage of a free ship bill under such
conditions would only result in opening a
market Tor foreign vessels The subsidy
has the effect of protective tariff. As it
is impractIcabe TO make a distinction be-
tween goods brought in home and in
foreign built vessels, the British Govern
ment has adopted the plan of giving such
bounty to her own vessels that they can
underbid all others for the trade all are
competing for. The distinguishing char
acteristic of the Democratic party is
desire to copy the policy of Great Britain,
without regard TO the conditions which in
Great Britain made that policy successful,

A PLEA FOR SETTLERS.

In his speech in the House on a motion
to provide means to defend titles given TO
settlers ON lands in Fresno. Tulare and
Kern counties Congressman Bowers said ::
There are from 1900 10 1000 settlers with
families on public lands In California who hold
United States patents for those lands. The In
terror Department has been disposng OF these
lands and issuing United States patents for
them 10 settlers for the last six years. The
department is issuing patents for those lands
to-day. The railroad company claims them,
and has commenced suit 10 set aside those
patents. Those settlers went on to the desert
and they have made a garden OF It. They now
ask the United States District Attorney to ap.
pear and defend the right OF the United States
10 sell those lands aud the continuance of their
right TO sell those lands and patent them, as
they are doing to-day.
Assuming this statement to be correct.
there is no obligation of the Government
more imperative than that the proper de-
partment should defend The titles it has
issued. and is still issuing. II it shall ap-
pear that the Southern Pacific has ACQUIRED
title the Government is bound to recon-
pense settlers who may be dispossessed
An individual is not allowed to sell the
same property TO two parties. If he does
SO one party may collect damages if the
seller is solvent, and put him in jail if be
is not. 1t is true that the Government; can
not be sued. neither can the Government
be put in Jail. But its obligation TO do
justice between citizens is the more i'm
perative for the reason that it cannot be
forced either to do justice nor made to
suffer for not having done justice. In one
respect IL may be made to suffer. Govern
ments exist by the consent of the governed,

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Criticisms on our public school system
which point ont its weak places are not
OILY patiently but gladly received. 1t is
not given 10 any human system to be per-
feet. Perhaps the only perfect thing in
the world is one constructed on theory by
person who leaves other people to attend
to the details. In a recent article in an
Ameri an journal of politics Gertrude
Buck wrote:
The American public school system is an
American fetish. Before it every patriotic
American knee is eXprcied 10 bend, and unto
1t every loyal American voice must perpetualIy
ascribe all honor and glory and praise.
The writer, presumably a woman, then
proceeds to demoliSh the thing everybody
is expected 10 extol. She does so, because
e In her eslima ton the public schools DO not
do ali there is to be done. They are not
home, family, workshop, counting-r0om,
pulpit and lecture platform. They Go not
teach children many things children should
be taught They do not prepare US for
complete living"
The indictment can be sustained. The
schools leave something TO other infin-
enceS and other agents of instruction. The
average school life ranges from six to eight
9Onlc' nj dUbuL IL lbG ClIlIu DdS 10 10
something to help 10 earn lis own living.
The six or eight years in school aim to in
part knowledge without which in these
days the man or woman is conspicuous for
ignorance. They teach the child to read.
write, spell and define ordinary words.
Enough arithmetic is taught TO enable the
child to learn more-that is, the ele-
mental principles are taught. Some idea
OF grammar, a little geography and less
history are in The ordinary course of study.
The comparatively few who can continue
in school through their teens are pushed
along into what are called the advanced
studies. But Miss Buck assures a wait
ing public that "our educational system
does not educate. We asked for bread,
and it has given us a stone. 1t has sen,
us out to meet the world unready." Tn.
ready perhaps. Most of US go out of the
world unready. Ii is only in the latter
years of life that the mind conceives OF
the vastness of the stores of knowledge of
which, If there were time. it might par.
take. But there is not lime. That is the
trouble with our schools. They teach
nothing that should not be taught, but
there is not time for everything. But to
most people it is something to know how
TO read. to write, 10 spell and to cast up
accounts. Education really commences
when the child leaves school.

FREE RAW MATERIAL.
An Eastern Democratic paper saws:

An Eastern Democratic paper says:
After the sbrewd manufacturers of New Eng
land had under Republican rule secured tie
American market for themselves for certain
fabrics by pIohibitory duties, and had accus-
toned The customers 10 prices for their products
w hch were highly yenuneratlve, IL occurred TO
them thai they might still further benefit them
selves if They could be relieved from the pay
ment of duties on the articles used by them in
their factories and Which they bad TO import.
This is one Of the half truths which
may do considerable mischief. 1t is quite
true that some of the shreWd manufPctur-
ers of New England conceived the idea
that their profiIs might be increased il
Congress would give them raw material
while cOntinuin the duties on finished
goods. But these shrewd manufacturers
ere much too shrewd to ask the Republ-
can party to Incorporate free raw mate
rial plank in its platform. On the con-
trary the last tariff bill passed by the Re
pubicans was the most comprehensive 10
its inclusion Of raw materials that we have
ever had in this country. 1t gives the
farmer and the miner the same rate of
prOtec tion ii gave The manufacturer. But
these shrewd New England manufacturers
persuaded the Democrats to adopt free
raw material plank in their platform and
paid them for il with votes. The second
election of Mr. Cleveland may be attrib-
uted largely to this movement on the part
of New England manufacturers. Several
influential New England newspapers of
Republican antecedents went over to
Cleveland in 1892. There is no point in
the tariff question on which the issue be-
tween the parties is more closely drawn
than in respect to the protection of labor
engaged in producing raw material.
