opportunities. As the case now stands
several thousand children can get only .
half days tuition all the year nound, Be-
cause there are not enough schOolrosms to
accommodate all for whole day. This, of
osurse, retards progress, Tor, though .
great deal is accomplished even with linn
ited facilities, a great deal more couad be
done II every child could be taught six
hours day instead Of three. The scanti-
ness OF accommodations is telt most se-
vereIy in the AIower grades, where ths
largest possible allowances for accessioux
should be made, but the higher grades, os
course. also suffer from the same short
csmin8.
The most urgent representations to Con
gress on this subject have been productive
of merely partial results. When Congress
meets again every teacher and the parents
OF every Child should constitute themselves
committees to impress upon tile individual
members the necessity of far more liberal
policy in regard to tue public schaois ttsn
has hitherto been pursued. This sort Of
propa sandisn is highly commcndable and
will prove esninentiy useful.

DEPEW NOT FRIGHTENED.
He Says the Silver Bolt Cannot De-
feat Mckinley.

st. Louis. June 18.-Chaunccy II. Depew
said to u reporter of the United Press this
evening:
.'s.ince. the time Of Grant Mckinley is ths
first to receive the domination on the first
ballot and he received three-quarters of the.
votes. This result is at once u distinctive
and phenomenal expression OF the popular
will of the Republican muses..
PROTECTION and Mckinley, America for
Americans and Mckinley have become
Synonymous terms. He would be elected by
minority in the electoral college without
precedent except for the doubt involved in
the silver result. The secession of the silver
States was dramatic, but its effect in my
judgment will not be such as the erring
sisters believe.
''Se venty millions of people have con-
slant interest in the fina ancial and indus
trial conditions of the country This in
ciudes agriculture, manufactures, capital,
labor and governmental and individual
credits Interest in the production and
tonnage of silver is large theoretically, but
Infinitely small practically.
"Eight-tenths of the voters believe In
the gold standard in business to prevent a
fatal auctuation in currency and in labor,
SO that the wages one earns may be paid
in the hest money, in meme y which yields
largest results when used to pa rent. meet
interest on mortgages. or for the support
and education CT ones family. Therefore
I believe that for every silver vote here
tofore Republican which will be lost to
Mckinley by going to Democrat or Pop
ulist candidates there will be three Demo
cratic gold standard. sound none men who
will vote the Republican ticket.
AS ] said In my sreech today, the
erring sisters might as well refuse to
enter the gates of paradise in the celestial
city because they saw it was governed
on Republican principles and its streets
paved with gold, as to hope to defeat the
Republican ticket because the principles
of its platform is the gold standard Of
value in our currency."
