Practical Education.

The Daughters of the American
Revolution at West Chester have by
resolution recommended that a suita-
BILE Textbook be provided and instruc-
ton be given in all schools throughout
Chester county in the principles OF the
United States government and in the
high and imperative duties of citizen
ship" The resolution docs not de-
scend to details, but 1t Is presumed that
among the subjects in mind are con-
stitutional government, the mutual and
independent relations Of the various
states. the history Of the philosophy Of
popular rule and the traditions of the
American republic as unfolded in fam
GUS state papers, addresses, letters and
debates, together with practical in
struction in our theory of government
and its civic functions. Although no
text book could comprehend all these
subjects, 1t is credible that one might
easily be prepared which would more
nearly fulfil requirements than does
any now on the market.
The devotion Of part of a day each
week in the schools to the holding of
mock elections and to the initiative
transaction Of affairs of government
precisely as these things occur in real
life would afford one desirable method
of beginning the inculcatlon of patriotic
lessons in these schools. The devotion

tervals to the reading and discussion Of
hero tales from American history, fol-
lowing the excellent example set by the
children's magazine, st. Nicholas.

AS to Mrs. r1aybrick.

The recurrence of another interna-
tional ebullition Of sympathy for Mrs.
Florence Maybrick, the American wo-
man now serving a life sentence In q
British prison for the murder of her
husband by poison, IS threatened. 1t Is
said that new evidence has been discOv-
cred concluslvely proving the woman's
innocence of murder. Petitions are to
be circulated throughout two contin-
ents praying for a re-opening Of the
case. ST..
The pertinaclty Of her friends be-
gins to deserve reward. We do not
share their indomitable confidence in
Mrs. Maybrick's innocence; and or
dinarily would dispute the wisdom In
recalling, except upon the best of
grounds, decision once arrived at by
due process of law. There is, too, an
element of impropriety in the spectacle
Of Americans casting reproach upon the
fairness of the legal processes Of an
other country. But these scruples are
to the assertion that 1t would be a
graceful courtesy were the English au-
thorities to grant Mrs. Maybrick an
other opportunity to substantiate the
claims Of her friends as to the existence
of vital new evidence. And the fact
that she Is an American would lend to
such action an aspect of diplomatic
graoiousness by no means encouraging
to frequent repetitlons of the incident
among English convicts.
If the woman really did put her hus-
band out Of the way, so as better to
accommodate an intrigue with another
man, her seven years Of punishment
have been none too severe. But If she
be innocent, as claimed. 1t Is high time
she were liberated. In either case. q

ing to fast-growing and not overly
pleasant international clamor,

The Future of the SilYerites.

Senator Warren of Wyoming. tells
Washington interviewer that he does
not expect any wholesale revolt among
western Republicans should the party
next year take ground against the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver Asked
as to what he himself would do In case
his party definitely arrayed itself
against silver, the senator said that he
thought that he could do more good
for silver within his party ranks than
he could do without them.
There has recently been, at least In
eastern localities. lull in the popular
and this is not naturally interpreted
to mean that free coinage is a waning
issue. The re-asssmblage of congress
may revive the subject; there will GER
tainly be sharp criticism of the execu-
tives bond syndicate deal, which may
or may not have logical connection with
the Administrations recent espousal of
gold monometallism. But the con-
sensus of opinion unquestionably Is
that the adoption of a glittering gen.
erality in favor of international bi-
metallism Is as far as either political
party will next year venture to go in
recognition of the claims made by Sem
ator Warren's constituents for silver.
For our own part, we believe that this
is less than could be done with per-
feet safety and with real benefit. We
have not yet been taught the danger,
if there is any, in the coinage of highly
protected American silver upon a ratio
of say 90 to /, and we discern numerous
benefits in the plan. among them being
the putting into circulation of much
needed additional currency in the
sparsely settled south and west, where
banks are few and facilities scarce for
the rapid interchange of credits. thus
aiding in the development of communi-
ties which are now almost at stand
still through the lack of a ready cur
rcncy.
But this is apart from the main sub
ject. The remarks of Senator Warren
indicate, we take it, that there will not
be next year that disruption of estab-
lished party lines which few months
ago seemed probable consequence of
the raising of the currency Issue. We
know that in the east the men of
wealth. whether Democrats or Republl-
cans, are gold standard men above all
else; but at the same time we think
Senator Warren is right in believing
that he can do more for silver within
than without the party lines. What
ever may be true of special pleaders at
either extreme, the mass of RepHhll-
cans are sincere bmetallists, who want
to do the fair thing for silver just as
soon as they can perceive a way where
by it may be done without peril to ex-
listing advantages.

For a State Police.

The Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette
recalls attention to what experience
has often proved to be weak point in
cur police system. when 1t asserts the
necessity, especially in the large manu-
factur.ng and mining states, for police
organization that will take the place of
the obsolete and utterly useless sher-
ifs posse-"something," as 1t says,
'that will come in between the munich
pal constabulary and the state militia.
When dangerous disturbances involv-
ing large bodies of men and affecting
manufacturing, transportation and 9th
er interests. are either In progress or
Immediately apprehended, there should
be body of effective men, well trained
and equipped, who could be moved
promptly to the scene of disorder or
danger. 1t is not desirable even if
lawful to use the national guard for
that kind of service. and experience
has shown the futility as we'll as the
danger OF relying upon the local police
in such emergencies"
II is fortunately true that at this mo-
r?1ent the commonwealth is free of those
frequently recurring collisions between
employers and workmen which. from
time to time, emphasize the necessity
of the maintenance Of an adequate re-
serve police force, such as can readily
and rapidly be massed at any point, be.
fore the commission of threatened out
RACES on property or life. Indeed, the
prevalent tranquility, now that we
pause to think of it, is quite unusual,
and would, in itself afford an attrac-
tive subject for investigation by the
student of social problems.
But there is eminent sanction for
utilizing these pleasurable lulls In
preparation for new emergencies; and
the growing feeling Of reluctance on the
part Of the national guard to be used
for purely police purposes--a feeling by
no means discraditable, when correctly
understood--suggests that the next
legislature ought to yield serious con-
sideration 10 the proposition of separ-.
ate state police. A numiber of states
have already achieved progress in this
direction; and the reasons are many
why Pennsylvania should not long lag
IN the rear.
