its tos1e or the purpose for which If
was put forth Its plain purpose is
TO rally the gold forces in the Demo-

and do battle unto death for the gold
standard in the Chicago convention
Their leader will be Mr.. Cleveland him
self. and while we differ as radically
as possible from him on the financia;
question and regard him as the arch
enemy of silver, we do not fail to rec
ognlze the fact that he is a great and
powerful leaaer, worthy of any mans
steel. He is bold, determined, agrees
sive, and fights with bull dog tenac-
ity that cannot but challenge adnira-
ton. To his followers in the fight
for the gold standard he will in1pas-t

determination. Under his leadership

No one need be surprised to hear that

MISSION OF THE UNITED STATES.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says that
protection is The first word of the Re-
publican cry this year and thinks it
VIII be the last. 1t further says that
not al the aspirations of the American
sout can be filed by prosperous trade
and sound money: that when it comes
10 pass that the American people are
Content so long as they have full stom-
achs and full pockets, at that time
may be expected the sound of the voice
that says: Thou fooll This night shall
thy soul be required of thee
This is not all by any means; it is
but a mild Introduction to what fol-
lows. God and nature" says the
Inter-Ocean, have created the United
States of America for other purposes
than those Of mere enjoyment of the
pleasures that riches give Armenia
cries to US, and reminds us that our
fathers fed once. and afterwards
fought, that they might establish a
government wherein each man should
be free TO worship God according to
the light of his own reason and the
dictates of his own conscience. Cuba
cries TO us that our fathers waged a
long war in resistance to the iniquity
of taxation without representation.
Hawaii cries TO US ana reminds US that
we are the offspring of men who re-
VOTED from a misgoverning monarchy
and founded republic upon the bases
dom,
To judge from this, God and nature
seem to have created the United States
OF America to attend to the business
CT The whole world, even if ii is neces-
sary to neglect that of the United
States to 90 It.
The AiTnenians are worthy of evers
sympathy but is 1T the duty of the Unit
ed states to right their wrongs and pun
ish their oppressors? If 1T is. then it is
the duty of The United States to right
the wrongs and punish the oppressors
of the weak throughout the world; a
rather big and difficult task.
That cry from Hawaii reminds US
that there was about as high-handed
and unjustifiable piece of usurpation
committed by those who are crying
to US as can be found in all history,
and ehat their little republic in form
is not one in fact.
According TO our Chicago contem-
porary. the mission of the United States
of America is TO play the part of
jingo the very thing that the founders
of the republic never intended.

THE TARIFF PLANK.

1t is plain that the Republican ma
tional convention is going to try and
force the tariff issue to the front and
make it the paramount one. It cannot
succeed. It will be an issue, of course,
but it win be subordinate to the finan-
cial one.
The proposed tariff plank denounces
the present Democratic tariff es sec
tional. partisan, and one-sided and
disastrous to the treasury and destruc-
tive to business enterprise. In the
ensuing campaign the greatest stress,
so far as the Tariff discussion is con-
cerned. viii be laid upon the failure OF
the Wilson-GorTnan tariff to provide a
sufficient revenue for the expenses of
the government. 1t has not done that,
it is true; Why it has not it is not
necessary to explain. But how does it
compare with the law that it displaced,
the Mckinley law Of 1890? The pre-
amble to that law stated that its pur-
pose was to reduce the revenue. No
law ever accomplished its avowed pur-
pose with more exactness.
The Mckinley tariff did not go into

TRuANrs FROM SCHOOL.


Any one who has interested himself
IN school matters knows that one Of
the serious problems which our board
of education and teachers have to deal
with is the truancy of pupils. So ag-
gravated became the trouble towards
the close of the school year that a
tTuant officer was appointed. The ap-
pointnent of such an officer is a hate
full idea to all parents who have a
proper sense of their duty to their
children and the state, because it has
the appearance of an interference with
the rights and duties of parents. 1t is
safe to say that such parents will
never neglect their duties; they per-
form them because they choose to and
not because of any legal requirement.
But such laws are necessary, and
they should be enforced. Truancy has
not been a very serious matter with
our schools, but it will become one as
the school population increases unless
it is nipped in the bud.
1t is a matter that is giving much
trouble in some of the large cities. The
superintendent of schools in New York.
Mr.. jasper. has determined upon a
strict enforcement of the law. Last
winter he tried every means in his
power, except punishment in the police
| court. to get parents to do their duty,
but failed. Now he will resort to other
means. On his staff of attendance Of
ficers are three ladies' They have
been selected to make an effort to en-
force the law through the courts. They
have secured twenty-five summonses
for boys between the ages of ten and
fourteen years, who have almost con-
tinuously kept away from school dur
ing the last six weeks. These will be
served and the boys arraigned. 1t will
be interesting to watch the result.
Chicago is also having trouble with
its truant pupils. The Chronicle of
that city discusses the matter at
length. It very truthfully says that
( beyond all other children the truants
and street waits need exactly that kind
of influence which the public school
exerts. More than other children they
need special fitting for citizenship-the
object for which our schools are prim-
arily designed. 1t would be unsafe to
the state to leave them on the street
in order that the general scholarship of
the schools may be raised or that
teachers and faithful pupils may be
rid of their annoyance"
The perfect remedy for truancy has
never been found; perhaps it never
will be, but the ones we have should
be thoroughly tried.

IN IGNORANT CIRCLES.
Education Does Not Always Make
One Safe in an Egg Trade.

One safe in an Egg Trade.
1 was sitting on key of nails in a West
Virginia mountain store, watching a ma
tive dickering with the merchant over a
trade of a basket OF eggs for a calico
dress says Truth. After some time a bar
gain was closed, the native walked out
with the dress in bundle under his arm
and | followed him.
1T isn't any business of mine," / said
but / was watching that trade and was
surprised to see you let the eggs so for
the DRESS
What for?" he asked in establishment
as he mounted his horse.
How many eggs did you have?"
Basket full
How many doZen?"
Dunno. Can't count
That's where you miss the advantage
of education. With knowledge you might
have got two dresses for those eggs"
But didn't want two dresses, mister, y
he argued
Perhaps not but that was no reason
why you should have paid two prices for
one. The merchant got the advantage OF
you because of his education. He knew
what he was about"
He looked at me for minute, as If he
felt real sorry for me. Then he grinned
and pulled his horse over close to me.

furtive glanceS toward the store, Ibis

rode away before l could argue further.
