The observations OF philosophical

1t Is hardly likely that the making Of
home Will ever b. taught as special
branch in our schools and colleges. Maybe
Il will continue to be contemplated In a
general way, as the grand contamination
OF life. earths best reward. and show and
promise OF Heaven: the pleasantest
thought and Imagination that man can
indulge or cherish beautiful IDEAL
And yet there is no knowledge 50 desirable
for man, as there is nothing so important
TO the well-being Of the individual,
the community. and the country as the
happy home Ii Is the nursery OF good
citizenship and the embryo Of the great
nation II IS the spring from which viz
tue, wisdom, and patriotism flow IL Is
the dominion over which the dear mother
lovingly spreads her wings and exercises
her influence, and 1t is the fathers care
and highest honor 10 protect. II is the
richest gift and earnest OF Christianity

studies And IL Is a blessing that comes
in the way OF nature; that. rightly cher
ished and kept. mirrors more and more

The fixing OF principles. the cultivation
OF tastes, loves and affections. and the
inspirations OF manhood. and the awaken

And schools, colleges, and universities
insist that II is not their business TO give
principles and tastes and inspira tons and
character, that all that must be learned
at home or at Sunday schools or not at

and colleges and universities forfeit all
their right TO be called humanitles, divest
themselves Of their highes, dignity and
honor. and reduce themselves to mere
trades and manufactorles--human mills.
What Is classic learning without It's lofty
sentiment and standards OF manhood?
And what Is all art and science except
as II raises civilization and elevates man

The true Office Of institutions Of learn
ing is TO take the young Is they are

Clarkson-Again.

We have stated that we DO not
understand Chairman Garrison as having
heclared In favor OF the free coinage
OF silver, 10 to J. We said so because
he had been represented as predicting
that the Republican National Convention
would put silver and gold upon the same
footing these metals had held up to 1873.
\ later telegram represents Mr.. Clark
son as speaking as follows:
ut Is recognized fact that the Repub-
Ecans want a man nominated for Presi-
hent In 1856 who can get the votes. I'm
Friendly to both Mckinley and Reed;
know them both very well; yet in the
next election we want man who has
lots of friends ana very few enemies.
There Is no enmity felt toward Allison.
He is trusted on the tariff and stands for
lower tariff This Will be the issue be-
tore the people at the next election, and,
IN my opinion. the Republican party Will
advocate lower tariff"
Mr. Clarkson has been secreted in Iowa.

reopens the general tariff question, and
thus unsettles business again and causes

To say that Mr.. Allison stands for

Garrison committed himself TO the ratio
H is TO In his Des Moines interview
The Washington Post has been misled
INTO that belief by reading carelessly
what Mr.. Clarkson said. We will quote
bis words, confident that the Post Will
zee n new meaning in them when that
paper reads them over again. Here
they are:

who are for a lower tariff lie tho

observation-disclosures 7. 1894.
The British Ministerial Council.

There was a dearth Of actual war-news
from the East during the past week. The
dispatches for the most part were taken
up with perpleXing statements regarding
Japanese intentions and Chinese internal
eonfusion. ana the centre of interest was
Transferred 20 Downing street, London.
The simultaneous calls for British ana
French ministerial councils created con-
siderable excitement throughout Europe.
and gave rise TO alarming rumors touch
Ing the relations between those two
powers respecting Madagascar. II now
appears. however. that there Is no acute
complication growing out OF the Madagas-
car question. and that II that question
had anything TO do with the summonins
Of the British ministerial council, 1t was
merely in an incidental way.
Though the specific action OF the British
Council is stil largely a matter Of specn-
lation. IL is not doubted that 1t had I'M
portant reference TO the hostilties in the
Fast. Furthermore. the reasonable con-
illusion. as suggested by some of the Eng
fish papers. Is that the Great Powers
have decided that the settlement between
China and Japan must be an interna-
tional and not n japanese affair, and
that the meeting was for the purpose OF
considering negotiations 10 that end.
Ever since the war began, 1t has been
regarded as certain by students Of the
interests in the East OF Great Britain
and Russia that to this complexion II
would come ut last but 1t IS probable
that negotiations have been FASTENED by
Russia's iierated warning 20 Japan that
the future Of Korea concerns the Russian
government. and Japans alleged PROPOSE
ton to partition China. Korea has long
been Russia plottng-ground in the far
East. Just as the Balkan States have been
Ger pottlng-ground in Eastern Europe
ND England must be prepared when the
settlement comes to meet Russia In the
Hermit Kingdom. just as she met her in
he Balkans after the Russo-Turksh war.
As TO the partition of China. it is easy
70 understand that II is 10 the interest
81 Great Britain TO preserve the Chinese
Suffer in its integrity.

he has for the establishment OF the Uni
verslty Of Richmond He IS an original
thinker and bright writer. and the pro-
position he makes IS practical; 1t but
needs union OF action among the several
institutions OF learning here IN order to
accomplishment. OF course. it IS not a

sion nor without delay. but If there Is
an earnest purpose here 10 establish the

in good time. We commend his letter

Southern Democrats.

The Brooklyn Union says that the event
OF the election in Georgia-the general
results being that the Democrats have
held the state. though suffering de-
morallzlng losses-shows that the south
ern people are getting weary OF and
weaned from the Democratic party. You
deceive yourself. The southern people
may be apathstlc for various reasons.
but the reason given by the Union is not
one OF them. The southern people are
not weary of the Democratic party nor
weaned from IT, Virginia will give a
good majority next month for the Demo-
Gratis; and, as Major Daniel says. II the
election were further on the majority
would be still greater. The truth Will al
ways bear discussion.

The Voice of tina Lame Lion, "

Senator Daniel grows in power as an
orator The wtchery Of his voice and the
magic Of his presence increase with his
years.
He not only excels as rhetorlcian. but
he can talk business-sense with the
fuoncy Of a man who has spent a life
time on the marts Of trade. And then.
he IS so sincere. Whether one agrees with
him or not In all OF his propositions, IN
all OF his plans for the relief OF the coun-
try. his integrity OF purpose must be
admltted-that Is TO say. nobody ever
dreams Of questioning IL.
The Dispatch was urgent in favor or
opening the canvass here before the Ex-
position got under way, and after the
Senator's speeches In Manchester and
Richmond. it is glad that 1t took that
position. ard very, very glad that the
Senator was chosen for the duty. HIS
presence here has done much good.
