Plenty of Brainy Men.

In discussing Presidential poSsibili-
ties the Mugwump Boston Herald re-
marks that Thomas B. Reed is I'M
questionably a brainy man with
"strong qualities of leadership" This
is quite true, The stalwart Republi-
can leader who was the Speaker of the
Fifty-tirst House and who will in all
probability be the Speaker of the Fiji
ty-fourth is a statesman of whose
Americanism, courage, and ability
his party may we'll be proud. But
Thomas R. Reed is by no means the
only brainy Republican who occupies
a commanding position before the
American people. Mckinley. Harri-
son, Sherman, Hoar, Lodge, Allison,
Cullom, and many others hardly less
noted, stand in the front rank of ma
tional Republicanism and enjoy the
loyal and deserved esteem of their
party.
The Republican party never lacks
statesmen and patriots in prominent
places. Its principles and record in
evitably attract to its ranks a large
preponderance OF the brains, energy,
and conscience of American citizen
ship. 1t has great leaders because it
upholds broad and patriotic policies;
because it stands for the progress, the
independence, the dignity of this Ma
ton, There are plenty of strong, up
right Republicans who are admirably
qualified to discharge the exacting
duties of the Presidency. One of
them will be elected Chief Magistrate
of the United States by a sweeping
majority of American ballots year
from next November.-N. y. Adver-
tiser.

Retributiou Will Come

The Brooklyn Eagle Dem. says:
"The theft of governorship has been
accomplished. Now, the Democrats of
Tennessee mustprepare for the retribu-
ton which will surely follow. The
people of Tennessee have some respect
for justice and they prize their liber.
tieshighly. The aggression ofspoils-
men will be tolerated for time, but
there is limit beyond which it can
not 60 with IMMUNITY. That limit
was passed i'll this State when the
Senate of 1892 was stolen. The Dem
ocratic party is still suffering from
the effects of that crime. Maynard,
the active agent in it, has been buried
under a majority OF 100, 600 votes, and
Hill, the instigator, who ran for the
governorship iuISo4, received 1s4, ooc
fewer votes than the Republican
candidate, and the end is not vet.
The machine that was guilty of the
crime has not yet been punished
enough and there is still further chas-
tisement in store for it. The people
Of Tennessee are as jealous of their
rights as the people of New York.
They will rise from partisanship to
patriotism. until they have wiped the
disgrace of Peter Turneyism from the
Commonwealth. 1t is unfortunate
for Democratic success that this thing
has happened, but it is fortunate that
the people areinclined to purge them
selves of evil whether one party, OF
the other is guilty of it"

WOOL.

Dunn's review of last week says:
The wooden trade ends with the
lowest prices yet known, Io4 quota
tons by Coates Bros. average I3.47c,
against 5. sac last year and 81 70 two
years ago. Large sales at such prices
are natural, and in April 1890, 900
of domestic and II, SS6, 700 of foreign
were sold at the three chief markets,
against I4,o63,55S pounds of domes-
tic and IT'S, 400 of foreign last year.
Sales since January I, have been o.
9619I5 pounds, against $3.50, $50
in 1895 and less in 1898 and 1894
The demand for wooden goods does
not improve, and many cancellations
are reported, though sales of wool in
dictate large consumption.
In other words, wool is cents
cheaper this year than last year and
nearly 10 cents cheaper than two
years ago when the Mckinley law
was in force, Last year the certainty
of free wool cut the price down to
about actual free trade prices as
dealers always anticipate every thing
of that kind. The large increase in
the amount of foreign wool sold in
April is also ominous.

usual commonsense work out the
problem for the common good. AL
ready they see clearly enough the
line Of demarkation between them
selves and the devourers of their sub
stance. Noshrewd and plausible pre-
sentiment of these momentous ques-
tons, no matter under what exalted
authority, can make them blind to
the fact that their interests are not
and never can be identical with the
interests of the money monarchs or OF
the golden-fsted bankers whose only
industry is usury The honest men
of both parties seem to have made up
their minds alike on this point. In
fact to many of these the almighty
gold dollar is fast becoming but an
other name for the almighty gold
plutocrat. The rest naturally follows.
To his own immediate household of
faith his Excellency, President Cleve-
land, may preach gold recommendation
with spirit and with power, yet he
will never succeed in convincing the
sensible and patriotic men of the
Democratic party that he is in the
right. 1t is enough for them to know
that the bankers and bond boomers
one and all are at his back. His posi-
ton itself condemns him. He is
judged by all men from the company
he keeps. Hence it is that what we
call Clevelandism is becoming a ready
synonym for boarded gold, accumulat-
ed public debt, extortionate interest,
and unlimited promises to pay.

times. Low mutterings presage a
coming storm which, if not averted
may sweep with devastating fury over

TEACHERS AND TEACHING. "

70 the Editor of the Herald.
Under this heading, in a recent issue
of the Herald, you very aptly and ap-
propriately strike at useless innova-
ton into our school system. Origi-
nally you show there was none of it,
later there was none of it; but along
with the tide of other new hobbies, at
last came this acme of school regime,
the supert1uous task OF having exam
nations and administering certain
per cent of standing on each study at
certain periods during the school
year. In fact, in some places, the lit
tie child of Fourth Reader grade is
per cented each day on every little
study he has. Then going step
higher. he has at stated times in the
year special examinations to see how
he is getting along" and then comes
the final examination, the big time
of all, to test his progress and prof.
cheney and receive a certain per cent
after his name, all at the giving and
mercy of the teacher,
The pupil in his study hours is al
speaking of preparing his lessons
so he can pass, or fears he will fail.
Pass what, or failin what Why, the
examination tomorrow to be sure. II
he receives certain per cent he
passes, if not he fails. Grade is the
spectre constant before him, per cent
the only desideratum. The whole
study hour resolves itself into cram
ming or superficial menorizing just
SO he can bridge over the recitation or
examination next day. Beyond that
he has no use for the text or subject
before him and gives it no further
thought. It is, you see, examining
merely for the quarterly or final ex-
animation.
That study and thought which
would train and discipline the mind
and make the subject of each lesson
an imprint for life, are not thought of
Real study and reflection and diges-
ton of the lesson, resulting in a
thorough understanding and complete
knowledge of the subject gone over,
are not dreamed Of In place of this,
there is that character of preparation
that lasts only for day or until the
examination is over 1t is not study
involving understanding and knowl-
edge; it is only a superficial cram
ming chiefly involving the memory.
In after years, this thoroughly-pre-
pared, well-examined, and highly-per
cented victim must rely upon his
memory instead of his understanding
when his desires to utilize the lessons
gone over in his school life.
Now is there not great mistake in
teaching chiefly with the examination
in view, and with the per cent the
pupil may attain-the end of every
lesson. If taught in this way, of
course the scholar will study with
the same purpose as now. As is the
teacher, SO is the scholar. 1t is all
mistaken our humble opinion. There
IS too much of this examining. too
much of this grading, too much of
this examination, too much time lost.
The studying accompanying it all is
not of the rightcharacter-it does not
educate. It may float the child with
memorized rules, facts, and dates, but
be assured it does not teach him to
reason, it does not develop his capac-
lty to think, it does not lead him into
habits of attention and observation, it
does not give him power to apply and
