HOW TO DO 1T.

most benifitted by is the centerins
at this point Of those invalids Of
delicately constitutional people
who need such climate as this In
which to pass their cold months
All who in any way are affected
with impaired or extremely sensi'
tive respiration find a specific in
this healthful atmosphere. What
is needed to draw to this city and
retain here for three or four months
of every late winter and early
spring, persons Of delicate respira-
tory organs, is the active efforts OF
the physicians Of the city. That
this could be secured goes with
out saying, for it would be greatly
to their personal interests as ply
siclans to have large yearly addi-
ton to their patients, people Of
means, abundantly able to employ
the best local medical talent and
retain it during their stay.
There Is not a physician
in this city of any reputa-
ton who has not at his command
a list of a score or more northern
physicians to whom he could pro-
fessionally recommend this climate
as the best known for those who
suffer with their lungs and
bronchial apparatus during the
cold weather. In fact enquiries are
always on foot for just such a
climate as there is here, but when
it is recommended, and 1t has been
again and again, the accommoda-
tions for the comfort Of wealthy
patients are so inadequate to their
demands, to that which they have
been accustomed to, that they sci.
dom stay moro than few days
and return no more for ever.
When questioned as to the
climate, they reply that 1t
is all that could be desired,
that the quaint old town just put
ting of its Mexican toys and put
ting on the habiliments Of Uncle
Sam is a delightful one, the water
pure and the atmosphere invigor-
atipg, but the hotels are simply
uncomfortable. This has been the
refrain year after year and will be
until there is a waking up to the
Importance Of the matter and good
hotels, that is hotels that the
wealth Of New York and Boston
and Philadelphia and Chicago will
call good, are opened here for the
winter housing OF these people.
Then there are those who are really
i'll, and who need medical attention
for a succession of weeks or months
to restore their impaired respira-
ton. These need a real SANTA
rum and such an institution would
pay immensely, il it was proper.
ly built, differed, managed and
adapted to the wants of those who
would seek its benefits. 1t Is idle
to advertise this city to those
wanting winter refuge from the
severity of northern climates while
there are no hotel accommodations
that they accept as adequate to
their wants. Build such a hotel,
manage it so as to meet the wants
Of those people and 1t will adver-
tise itself, and the second winter
after 1t is opened it will turn away
more applicants for rooms than 1t
will accept, for applications will
double the capacity Of the house.

Inefiicisncy of Country Public Schools.


Uuo. Gilmer Speed, in the October Forum
The average pupil of the average coun-
try school does not even learn to write
with ease or pla;nncss. In arithmetic
such pupils acquire enough to solve the
simple sums in addition. subtraction,
multiplication and division which they
meet with in practical life. But the
ineificiency of til. country school has re-
suited in what might quite properly be
called the American peasantry," beings as
illiterate and unlearned as any class of
people in any civilized STATE in the world.
An assertion like this is likely to be called
un American by those shallow critics
who maintain that Americans should
never speak the truth of themselves and
the institutions which have become &c
based. The American farmer of two gen.
erations ago was better educated man
than is the American farmer of today.
No one would have thought of calling
him peasant; he did not suggest such
a thing in his manner OF life, poor though
it was nor yet in his manner of thirk
ing, though that may have been narrow.
Let any candid observer going to neigh
borhood where the land has been titled
by the same family for generations, and
let him find farm where there are still
three generations upon it. He il almost
sure to find that those of the Oldest gen
Grafton can speak, write, and think with
more accuracy than the second genera
ton, and that the second generation will
show more evidences of education than
the third. This shows degeneration, and
this degeneration can be directly traced
to the decadence of the country public
schools, which now are really beneath
discussion, were there not hope that
by telling of their badness some interest
might be excited, and that through thi:
interest they might be improved. We dc
not want an ignorant peasantry i'll this
country-we have no use for peasants
But we are getting such class, both by
importation and by breeding. The city
schools are bad enough in all conscience

they are fountains of light cOmpareC
with the country schools that prevail il
the United States today. In a country
school, as at present governed, the NOR,
teacher knows, the less is his or he
ability to accomplish anything so thos,
who are wise and polite do as little a:
possible, hoping thereby to escape tn,
hostile judgment of ignorant school com

There is no use in refusing to look fact:

The Demand for Capable Men.

There is reported to be an urgent de-
mand at present for first-class workmen
in the various industries that employ
skilled labor says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. The lamentable fact exists
that, notwithstanding the general lack
of employment for those who live by
manual service, there are not enough
really capable men to fill the places at
their disposal. Thousands of ordinary
workmen, who can do given things not
requiring any particular skill, crowd the
labor market, and complain bitterly be-
cause they can find nobody to hire them
The philosophers even tell us that the
willingness of these men to work gives
them claim upon society for the oppor-
tunity to earn wages; and some of the
labor organizations teach the same doc
trine. But the willingness to work does
not in itself constitute a valid claim. The
man who asks for employment must be
able to perform the required service in the
best way before he can be said to have
any right in this relation. 1t is a we'll
known fact that excellent mechanics are
usually scarce. When there is one who is
master of his trade, there are scores and
hundreds of Others who have learned it
only in loose and partial way. The
reasons tor this condition are not fully
understood; but it is very sure, never
theless, that such condition is a part of
what we call the labor problem, and it
should always be taken into account
when that problem is discussed.
1t is in the power of every man, due al
iowance being made for natural lirnita-
tons, to render himself so useful in his
vocation that he can always secure a
situation. In sense, he can make him
self independent of the causes which gen
orally throw men out of employment.
He can gain the sort of proficiency, that
is to say for which somebody is always
willing to pay good price, There is
never any surplus of expert labor. The
workman who knows how to do certain
things better than the average of those
who are engaged upon them need never
be idle. There is always place for him,
no matter how glutted the labor market
may be, and how many Others are look
ing in vain for such a chance This is a
consideration to which the laboring
classes do not give the attention that it
deserves. They overlook the fact that
the employer is anxious to make the la
Dor he employs as productive as possible
he must do SO, in fact, or competition
will crush hinlr-and so he discriminates
as far as he can in favor Of the most COM
potent. When circumstances require the
reduction of a working force it is the
men of lesser capacity who are dis

The contest in Cuba is, after all, only
the repetition of the old struggle foi
the assertion of certain fundamental,
rights of man. The contest is reduced
to a narrower issue than was essential to
the contest 100 years ago. Home rule is
the great issues in all civilized countries
now, as it was then. Cuba, Ireland
Canada, all realize that long distance
government is an anachronism. There is
hardly a city in the United States that is

The denomination of Gov. Greenhalge
has been a foregone conclusion for some
weeks past, yet the substantial uuanimity
with which it was accomplished makes
it more gratifying. Such opposition as
there was, was the result of causes that
were altogether to Gov. Greenhalge's
credit, and when rightly understood
served merely to emphasize his indepeud-
.ence and consciousness. BY the great
majority of the people of Massachusetts,
Democrats as well as Republicans, Gov.
Greenhalge's administrations are admit
