THE WORLDS WAY.

Everything must give way to the
greed Of the market manipulation. The
existence Of an inoffensive tribe in the
interior of Africa, the cry Of the Chris
tian martyr in Armenia, the prayer for
succor from the oldest civilization are
ell alike unheeded and must count for
naught when q point or two can be
gained in stock quotations in the great
centers OF civilization. A London cable
to the effect that the distribution of
British subscriptions for the relief of
the sufferers from the Turkish outrages
in Oanea, Crete, had been stopped on
account OF the protests Of the German,
Russian, French, Austrian and Italian
ambassadors at ConStantinople seems
almost Incredible So much Of the
news telegraphed to this country from
Europe is colored by the British news
agencies on the continent to suit the
London market that there is room left
to discredit this report. The fate Of
the Armenians, however, who were sac
rificed to the lust and the sword of the
Turks for diplomacy's sake, has pre-
pared the world to believe in the
thorough villainy of European state
craft when the maintenance of the
status quo in the east is involved.

COMMON SENSE IN SCHOOLS.

One of the most pleasing epigram-
matte addresses delivered before the
National Educational association,
which convened last week, was that
by President David Jordon on "The
Function OF Nature Study in Educa-
ton" The main idea Of the address
was that the public school was a place
where common sense should be taught.
The following are a few quotations
taken from President Jordan's speech,
which was published in full by the
Buffalo papers:
"FoolishneSs should be eliminated,
for We have already built too many
costly lunatic asylumS-
"We have teachers in our schools who
have never felt the impact OF an idea
and who have never seen a truth in
their lives. They lost their indiyid-
uality in youth and cannot point out
the sunrise for others.
There are many links in the chain
OF decadence, but all the finger-posts
marks lead to the cocaine habit
knowledge is best gained by the
linking of good purposes with good
actions.
Action is the essence OF character
building.
'The human equation should be elm
mated from the statement Of truth.
''Self-direction is more important
than innocence A fool may be inno-
cent, but only a sane and wise person
san ~, yir'uous.
when a child Is taken from nature
and sent TO school he Is brought into an
atmosphere Of conventionality. Here
he IS not to do but To initiate. he
must not see nor create, but he must
remember. He must not remember
his own realities but the written and
spoken ideas of others. He IS led
through the wilderness Of grammar,
through The thickets OF algebra into
the desert Of mathematics
The child al school Is crowded with
a medley OF words without ideas. He
learns by rote and so the teachers I'll
him by rote
"C Cndisesced words may be intellec-
tusl poison. SO undigested ideas may
become moral poison So the child
comes To regard nonsense as half truth,
and truth as half nonsense.
''ConvenGonality Is not morality and
may exist win vice as well as virtue
The conclusion Of the address was
that nature study should be more hon
ored in the schools, as II was INSOFAR

AN INTERNATIONAL VICTOR.

From our dispatches Of yesterday
morning it is evident that Information
ally America is holding her own. Oh
ney, Cleveland's Yankee secretary of
state, proves To be equal TO the occa-
sion, and enough for his job. Great
Britain, through her newspapers, hens
and haws and says she don't exactly
know, but it's plain on the face of the
diplomatic correspondence that Uncle
Sam put Johnny Bull in the hole. And
so touching the correspondence be-
tween the state department and the
Spanish minister on questions affecting
the rights of American citizens in
Cuba, which has just been published,
shows that the foreign policy of this
government lacks neither firmness or
spirit Probably not one of the blather-
skite resolutionists in congress had
even heard of the expulsion from Cuba
of John A. Sewers and the three MEM
bers of the Ansley family which forms
the topic of this correspondence.
While conceding the right to Spain or
to any other sovereign power to expel
aliens, Secretary Olney draws attention
to the fact that the mode of the exer-
else of this right "may be SO harsh. I'M
reasonable and oppressive as to give
just grounds of complaint" In the
cases referred to the arbitrary and un-
necessary cruel execution Of the de-
crees of deportation involved the separ-
alton of husbands and parents from de
pendent families, and the constrained
abandonment of the latter TO the char
ity of strangers. "The proceedings at
every stage and in every particular"
says the secretary of state, "have been
characterized by a willful disregard not
merely OF the rights of American Gti-
zenS but Of the dictates Of common
humanity" and he concludes his letter
with demands for adequate redress and
safeguards against like treatment Of
other Americas in the future.
Although Secretary Olney evidently
does not conceive it to be a function Of
this government to intervene in the
domestic affairs of a foreign country,
after the manner of q buncOmbe con-
gress, he speaks with no uncertain tone
when American rights and interests
abroad are to be conserved.

FIRST STEP IN ORATORY.

A series od interesting articles en-
titled, First Steps in Public Speaking"
are being published in WerIler's Mag
azine by DIR. Geo. W. Hoss Of this city,
principal of the Western School of Flo
cution and Oratory.
The articles are very meritoriouS, be-
ing written in an attractive, pleasing
style and containing much valuable as
we'll useful information, and timely
suggestions in regard to public speak
ing.
1t is an obvious fact that while good
writer's are not at all uncommon, good
speakers are notoriously rare. The de-
sirabillty of any end or aim established,
the next consideration is the qualitica-
tions for its accomplishment. This
holds in speaking as in all else In
considering this question, DIR. Hoss
shows that it must be settled by one
of two theories, viz: Whether speak
er is endowed naturally with peculiar
oratoric genius; or whether this genius
is developed. The latter theory is sus-
tanned philosophically and historically.
The following constitutes a few para
graphs OF the introduction OF DIR. HoSS'
article:
'.Philosophically 1t falls under the
universal law: Exercise gives develop
ment. This embraces the whole neid

powers, whether of head, heart or BODY,

". God has not made one set OF laws
for all mankind save the speaker. and
auothtr ser for him. Surely lie has
not made the speaker an anomaliy-an
outlaw.
History proves that the orator IS
made or developed. as the engineer,
nhysician. or architect is developed. In
seeking examples, the mind almost in
srinctiyely turns TO the prince OF osn-
TORS. Demosthen.s. The reader VIII

LEwELLING's REFORM CRITICS.

Politicians are net all saints. Their
plicity and hypocrisy are traits too fire.
Quently found, alas. 1t is not our pur-
pose to write a homily upon the vicious
ness of politics and the wickednesS OF
politicians. The Eagle waged a small
rebellion at one time with view of
having better Republican politics and
less Objectional political leaders in the
fore. The success of this rebellion
was more than was expected but In un-
foreseen ways. Many of the class the
Eagle had in mind ceased To be officers
or Republican politicians but they
straightway became Populists. OF
course they are still ready and inhuen-
tial and devotedly in love with the
cause of the plain people" The
sweat -begrimed, work-wort handed
farmer is the object of their dearest
affection. His cares and sorrows, and
hatreds and hopes are their solicitation
and the object of prayerful considers

An come directly to the pint,
They think the countrys underpinnin'
Is soma considerable out o jint.''
Their aim is to find out something
wrong then "they just let on they smell
a rat" These peoples are ''reformers. :"
They appreciate the necessity OF re-
forming-others. Being broken down
and cast out of the old political organi-
cations they feel a deep concern about
the wickedneSs OF their late party affil-
iations. 1t was such q hard thing for
them to leave these dear associations
but the sacrifice had 10 be made. The
parties OF Lincoln. Grant and Blaine or
or Jefferson and Jackson had departed
from their principles and it was nec-
essary To make a sacrifice in the inter-
est of the future. The hopeleSsneSs OF
their position 20 reform their party or
10 get the postoffioe was gloomy it's
true, and it is easy TO see the reason for
a change. One might reasonably eX-
pect many adventures in new party
based upon ''magnifed miseries." Zeal

Wrongs imply that somebody is re
sponsihle for them, and this calls for
some righteous indignarion-some woe

many worn-out political deadbeats had

party it would indeed have been mar
