There is general awakening through
out the country in favor Of Industrial
schools. There is no reason why man
ual training should not become
part OF the information taught under
our school systems and every reason why
IL should be- II leads to the develop
ment Of ideas taught in the other schools
and makes It possible for the pupil to
become at once a self sustaining mem
Der Of society when he leaves school.
The statistics gathered In Europe show
that tho German empire now contains
three hundred and twenty-elght such
schools, Of which twenty.one per cent.
are managed by state authorities, twenty
four per cent. by local corporations, five
per cent. by church authority, ten per
cent. by private individuals, and thirty
eight per cent by various associations
OF these schools one hundred and twenty.
six are purely for manual training, one
hundred and forty-one are departments
Of various public institutions, nine are
in connection with public schools. and
twelve in connection with normal col
leges. The average attendance at these
schools was l4.215
This is apretty good showing, but the
scandin avian countries make q still
better record In Norway, manual
training IL obligatory In all city schools
and normal colleges and optional in
country schools In Finland Ssuch
training Is obligatory in all public
schools In Denmark the government
recognizes them by making an appropri
alton for their support. ln 1890 Sweden
had sixteen hundred such schools,
many Of them parts OF the public
school establishment France is also
much Interested in this department OF
education, and in 1890 there were
twenty thousand such schools in
operation, with not less than forty
thousand pupils in Paris alone.
The above facts 60 TO show that
foreign countries are far ahead OF us ii

the general belief In our own country
that our school system Is the best ia th,

SENSELESS WAR SCARE

Europeans In the Ilanisow District since

LONDON, Oct. 4.-The Chronicle has au-
thority to state that the cabinet council
has reference not to Anglo French affairs
but to the situation in China The rela-
tions Of England and Franco, it says arc
good and it is doubtful whethor thoy win
form the subject of any special or novel
discussion at todays council All this
The Chronicle remarks, should serve as a
warning against future panics. The coun-
try has boon alarmed, tho markets have
been affected, kilograms have been flying
all over the world and al for nothing.
Inquiries made at tho foreign Office
olieited the information that the calling
Of q cabinet council FOR today has no con
nection whatever with the meeting Of tho
krcnch cabinet today
The relations between Great Britain
and France have certainly been strained
during tho past six months since the at
tachs Of the French press on tho Marquis
Of Dufierin, tho British ambassador at
Paris. Numerous colonial questions have
also given rise to friction.
Although the government ministers
would be glad to seize upon an occasion
to discuss these matters the cabinet would
not have been summoned but for the dan
gorous appearance Of the situation in
China.
The Marquis Of Dnfferin is still in the
north Of ireland, and he viii not return
until the end Of the week. il tho rela-
tions with France had been tho cause Of
the summonng of o cabinet council, Lord

FOR REPRESENTATIVES,,
Rsmore the Ksrston . .


one great Issue in Delaware this Fall
Is Higginslsm A question which the
people are called upon to determine Is
whether Senator Anthony Higgins shall
ereturn to the seat which be now occu
pies In the Federal Legislature Talk Of
J. Edward Addicks as his successor in
event Of Republican victory is absurd.
If the Republicans carry the General
Assembly there will be nothing to
hinder Mr.. Higgins from succeeding
himself he has his enemies, 1t is true,
but every primary election has clearly
demonstrated that they are sadly in the
minority
The reports from Kent and Sussex
counties that Mr.. Addicks has carried
the legislative delegates are, we believe,
untrue, apart from the possibility that
Nj. Addicks has seen fit to put enough
money into the Republican campaign
fund to influence the legislation Of the
men in event Of their election.
Senator Higgins is the logical choice
OF his party He is the acknowledged
leader Of the dominant faction. Itis
through his instrumentality that the
party is making the determined stand In
Delaware that It is to-day. It was he
who, when Levi G. Bird, George V
Massey and other leaders, worn-out
hopeless and disheartened after years o
fruitless battle, had given up the fight
stepped in at an opportune time, as
sumed the leadership and won a victor,
from a disrupted Democracy.
Since then, despite the jealousy ant
antaRonism Of his rivals, he has gone O.
building up the party organization. re
warding his friends and endeavoring t
conciliRte his enemies; and to what end
To succeed himself.
He may be unseated by Democrat
and we confidently believe that he will
but the Republican is not living /
Delaware to-day who can defeat him
his partys legislative ticket is elected
he has not labored for six years f
nothing Self.succession has been Ii
chief aim Of ah his endeayors, and sell
succession it viii be II his ticket wins.
With this condition confronting Il
people Of Delaware they must act, n
gsrdless Of false issues raised. Sim
Mr.. Higgins has been in the Unit,
States Senate he has done nothing b
misrepresent the people Of this state. I
has pursued a policy strictly partisan

He has introduced force and corrupt,

ness His whole creed has been that {

Fortunately for the people, patriot
