in 1t, and might be taken as a hint by
California good-road enthusiasts.

Professor Laurie, the distinguished
educator, in a recent essay In the
School Review says:
It has been often urged against edu-
catiOnal reformerS, and with some
truth, that they desire to teach too
much during the school period. But
the moment we begin to get a glimpse
OF method and Of the organization and
iEterrelation of studies, we See that
much may be taught with ease and
simplicity if only the teacher himself
is properly equipped and understands
the scope and purpose Of his vocation.
We may seem to demand much of the
teacher; but not more than the future
will demand Of him, If he is to be edu-
Gator as well as instructor.
This is undoubtedly correct. It fol-
lows as the logic Of the argument that
the teacher. to be true educator. must
be something more than an instructor;
he or she must be if not an enthusiast
in at least devotee Of the profession.
The true educator cannot be other than
in love with his work. They who teach
with no higher motive than pecuniary
reward; who are not inspired with am
bition to achieve results in which they
may take pride, are out Of place and do
the cause Of education harm. We fear
that under our common school system
there are not q few who teach merely
in perfunctory way; who hold the
office of teacher to be but temporary
position to be thrown over wnen con-
venient; who look upon it as anything
but life work, and who fail to under
stand the responsibility. and the dignity
and weightiness of the office.

city no less than 3,715 voters ignored
the electoral tickets or nullified them
by misuse of the stamp. But this can
not be charged to the system, since the
use OF the stamp is matter SO simple
that the man who cannot understand
the use of the stamp ought to be dis
qualified from passing upon govern
mental questions at issue.
The voting machine, however, will be

given a fair trial. But when we get 1t,

press the wrong button. There is one
mistake, however, that he cannot make.
He will be unable to vote for two men

RATIFICATION AND JUBILATION.

If there Is to be any ratification or
glorifcation exercises over the election
of Mckinley and Hobart, let it be OF
a character that will reflect credit and
honor upon the celebrants.
We recall one instance in which the
victorious and the defeated joined IN
the celebration in the best natured
manner possible, and that was In this
city when the several political COM
rnittees touched elbows in the jubilating
column
To this hour the defeated have taken
their defeat manfully, gracefully, and
have bowed to the will Of the majority
in a most becoming manner. 1t Re-
test in advance against any offensive,
gross OF raw methods-cartoons, trans
parencies or Objectionable banners. The
committees In charge should look to
this. and see to it that by no persons
indiscretion the cause Of the victorious
Is smirched.
Moreover the Sound Money Demo
crats should be invited to take part In
any iubilation. The Republican party
owes a great deal to them, and 1t is very
probable that under the new alignment
going on, and the likelihood that we will
settle down upon a modified tariff sys-
tenn that will obliterate lines Of con-
tention, most of these Sound Money
Democrats will remain with the Repub-
lican party. We know Of many that
will do SO. for the new adjustment Is
going to put the safe and conservative
people on one side and the radical and
extreme elements on the other.
AS we write, II Is understood that
there will be jubilation tonight. We
repeat, therefore, that care should be
exercised to make 1t worthy OF the
party, of good citizens, of decency and
rnanliness. In this country, where the
will Of the majority Is the will Of the
land, we should not put upon the sub
m!ssive minority anything In the way
of indignity. It Is the office OF the
victor to be magnanimous, and to keep
his banner clean and free from re-
proach 1t Is enough to have won. Let
US not do more than manfully rejoice.

AFTER TWENTY CENTURIES.
Ruins of an Ancient City in India to
Be Uncovered.

At last the ruins Of the Indian Troy,
deeply buried in the debris of over
twenty-five centuries, are likely soon
to see the light. Patalputra, the Pail
bothra" of the Greeks, the "city Of
sweet-scented flowers" so famous in
ancient Indian legend and romance, Is
perhaps most widely known as the
capital of Asoka, the greatest Of In
dian Emperors, and the most lavish
devotee the world has ever seen. He
covered his mighty kingdom from At
ghanistan to the Dekhan, from Nepal
to Gujerat, with countless Buddhist
monuments and buildings Of vast size.
His stupendous stupas or mounds Of
solid masonry to enshrine Buddha' 8
relics, or to mark some sacred spot, are
found all over India, and are almost
like Egyptian pyramids in size. His
colossal ediot pillars, single shafts OF
stone, over forty feet in length and
beautifully polished and sculptured,
still excite the admiration and wonder
Of all who see them. How magnificent
then must have been the capital Of this
great Hindu King, who was the ally
of the Greek Kings Antiochus of Syria,
Ptolemy Of Egypt, Antigonos Of Mace
don, Magas of Cyrene, and Alexander
Of Epirus
1t was already q splendid city in the
fourth century 3. c., In the time of his
grandfather, Chandragupta, the Greek
Sandracottus, as we learn from the
glowing descriptions Of Megasthenes,
the ambassador Of the successor of Al
exander the Great At that time the
buildings were all of wood, like the
palaces and temples Of Burmah In the
present day. 1t Is q matter of history,
however, how Asoka found this capital
of wood and left 1t of stone. But, be-
re the dawn of our era, this great city
had decayed with the fall Of Asoka's
dynasty and the smaller succeeding
dynasties, and the transfer of the cap
ital elsewhere. Since the Mohammedan
invasion in the twelfth century A. D.,
the very site OF this city was forgotten.
It was known to be somewhere near the
modern town OF Patna In Bengal: but
most of the experts and others who had
deliberately searched for 1t believed
that it had been entirely washed away
by the Ganges. Then It will be remem
bered that Surgeon-M Major Waddell, In
1892, during flying visit to Patna,
found that the leading landmarks of
Asokas capital still existed. He found
several scuiptured stones and images
of the Asoka epoch lying on the surface

PROOF OF THE PUDDING.

In a Western Massachusetts, district
a novel but successful method was
adopted some four or five years ago
to IMPRESS upon farmers the exceeding
economy of permanent good roads. Sub
scr1ptions were taken by some enthusi-
asts, and nany devices employed to
raise a good-Soad fund.
With this fund a mile of good ma
cadam road was constructed. Then at
a point on the same line another mile
or half-nnfle was made, and three other
small strips were built on laterals, and
finally, at the end of the main thor
oughfare, a mile was put down
These distinct and widely separated
bits of good road were thoroughly well
made. and were carefully kept in good
order. The result was that as the farm
ers drove to the market town they
were alternately on smooth, hard, swift
roads, or dragging painfully through
mud or over rough and difficult road
ways. where the draft was four OF five
times as great to the hundred weight
as on the good road stretches.
At once the desire was Nndled to have
the gaps closed up and it was not long
before they were. Yet say the people
who engineered the thing through: we
could never have convinced the users
cf these roads that the costlier was the
cheaper road except by some such OBJ
ject lesson as that we employed. 1t
cost US a round sum Of money, but we
have more than won, and will get 1t
all back in improved conditions and
bettered trade"
1t is said that such a method Is to be
tried m the State of New York, by
building short good-road stretches ra-
dating from Albany, with a main trend
westward towards Buffalo, to which 1t
is desired that main thoroughfare
shall be constructed. The idea has meat

It is likely that the next Presidential

as wise as we think it's leaders are. The
silver question will be disposed Of be-
fore there is another Presidential elec-

trust, have become so satisfactory and
the condition OF the country so pros
porous, that the attempt to upset It all

There were a great many orders to be

work began this morning. and the ship
ping department presented busy appear
ance in nearly every line Of trade The
travelling representatives had evidently eX-
erted themselves Friday and Saturday, aad
the orders that accumulated Sunday caused
local merchants to forget all the prophesies
OF dull times and pancky conditions. Re

chases than for some time past. and evil
IDENTIFY do not believe the countrys bust
ness is doomed, no matter who is elected.
Collections also show some Improvement,
and in this line October SO far Is ahead Of
the same time last year. This is due in a
great measure to the fact that country
merchants carried as few accounts as pos
sible the past season, and also bought very
sparlngly all the year. Thus when the cot
ton crop was ready for market they were
able to pay all Indebtedness promptly, and
are now securing good cash trade. There
is still tendency to use hand TO mouth
policy in all purchases. Wholesalers prefer
this conservatism. and in fact are inclined
to view with suspicion an order that is IN
usually large. They want trade, but would
rather have their goods in stock than the
chance of securing 10 cents dollar there
