OUTINGS FOR TEACHERS.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
A teacher who has been at work stead
iiy for eight or nine months instructing
those not on an equality mentally with
himself. needs an outing quite as much,
II not more. than the man in business.
He cannot but profit by association with
those in the same calling as himself. An
interchange of views as. to methods and
means to reach success In instructing the
young is absolutely necessary. il he ex-
poets to return to his work refreshed and
with his enthusiasm rekindled. These
summer schools and meeting places Of
conventions, ETC.. are usually at attract
i've spots, SO tha; health can be improved
while the teacher is gaining something
mentally.
THIS is progressive age. The Ameri-
can child is alert and active. He will be
quite as quick as his parent to see II the
teacher has fallen into a rut In his teach
Ing. BY all means. let the teachers take
an outing and expand themselves men,
tally. as well as physically. A teacher
who has lost his zeal from stagnation
will prove failure, and the sooner he is
dropped from the rolls and his place taken
by more active man. the better for tho
schools and for the community.

The Real Issue illustrated. 4.

According TO the direct admissions Of
the present officials Of the United
States treasury, the governments cur
rent income was s26, 100, ,3iO14 less dur
ing the past twelve months than its
current expenditures. For this period
the federal receipts under the Wilson
tariff were sos,5SS, ,4OS less than they
were under the Mckinley tariff for the
fiscal year ended June so. 1893. Another
fact of interest in this connection Is
that while the value of the imports of
the fiscal year ended on Tuesday will
almost reach that of the fiscal year 1898
when the Mckinley law was under full
operation. the receipts will fall over
$40, ,0OO, 900 below that year. In 1893 the
customs receipts were $203, IA, go on i'm
ports, the total value of which was
$3.50. 400. .s22 The value Of the imports
for the year just ended Is not yet com
puted, but FOR the ten months ending
April 30 their value had amounted to
$3.50, ,291, ,l57.
The following detailed information,
compiled by the Washington corres-
pondent OF the Philadelphia Press, will
be found worthy of preservation for
future reference during the coming
campaign. 1t very clearly shows why
the tariff and not the currency Is the
real issue at stake next November; the
issue whose settlement on the basis of
adequate Protection will mean the en-
larsement of our stock of money In cir
tulation and the cessation of the out
drain Of American gold. For instance,
the receipts Of the fiscal year ended
Tuesday are less than in any recent
year prior to that in which the Wilson
bill was being framed. The total re-
ceipts for each Of the last ten years are

SHE HUNTED GOATS.
Mary Trowbridge Townscnd's Account of
sport In the State of Washington

Mary Trowbridge Townsend's Account of
sport In the State of Washington
ale scorns the protection Of coat
which changes color with the autumn
leaves, and proudly haunts at all
seasons the white Of the everlasting
mountain snow. He has neither the
fatal inquisitiveness OF the plains an
telope, the tmidity of the deer, nor
the cunning OF the sheep His is as
deliberate as bear, and, if approached
from above, as reckless as caribou
The Rocky mountain goat is not a true
goat, but an antelope that masquer-
ades in goats clothing. He is uniqne
in living where other game would die,
and dying where other game would
live. He is not found in menageries,
nor in circus tents. Only his mounted
skin is found in such places"
Mary Trowbridge Townsend writes
Jhus of animals which she sought and
killed near Lake Chilan, in the state OF
Washington, having hunted elk, sheep
ind other big game so much that some
aew sport was wanted. She saw her
first goat from the little steamer on
her way to the lake, much the same as
the teuderfoot visitor to the Adiron-
dacks occasionally y sees deer from the
stage, but it was not until she and her
companion started next day with a
guide that she learned some peculi-
arties that makes goat hunting differ
ent from most other kinds of hunting.
For instance, there was no special
place for hunting. The goats were
among the mountains high up, but in
no particular place, and they had to be
hunted in tho hit-or-miss fashion of a
tnrpon fisherman. They travelled for
hours over slippery pine carpets, over
sharp. loose shale, over hot, ragged
rocks, zigzagging along and taking to
goat trail eagerly, since there the
walking was better. At night they
camped without having seen goat.
Next day they started again, and
saw goat on distant bench, acting
as il he was meditating deeply, or in a
sort of lethargy. On looking down
they saw a small bunch Of goats Il
quarter of milo away They slid
down, and when the 4s-70 ride rang
out twice mamie and billy had
died. 1t was compensating luck The
fatigue, the climbing, the thirst, and
all the discomforts were forgotten in
the success us they stood beside the
dead game. But they had weary
time Of 1t getting back to the la Ike;
tumbling down II dry water course,
over and under logs and tangles OF
'devi's walking sticks" around and
over boulders. At last abandoning the
effort to get out that night four miles
from the home camp, they scraped a
bed in the gully, rolled themselves up
in their blankets, and went to sleep.
1n the morninga little stream OF water
was found to have started down the
gully, and from this they quenched
their thirst aud went on, soon getting
to the like IN. Y. Sun.

AN INDEPENDENTS ABsURDITY

The proposition to nominate an inde-
pendent legislative ticket is what might
be called the ultimate of absurdity. It is
within the scope of non partisan action to
place an Independent ticket in the field
for purely local offices where there is not
m uch patronage, but even then the ticket
would necessarily have to be made up of
men who entertain pronounced political
views, for a man who was milk and water
enough to have no well-fxed political
opinions would be too weak to fill any
office with safety to the public.
A legislator has to be a partisan, es-
pecially when there is United States
Senator to be elected. For whom would
an independent member vote? The fact
is he could not vote at all. Candidates for
be United States Senate are party lead
ers. They have to be leaders. Who ever
heard of non-partisan leader of politi-
cal party? II the so-called independent
member happened to have been Repup-
lican or Democrat before he became an
independent" he would vote exactly as
though he were elected as partisan. The
office OF United States Senator is politi-
cal one. 1t is Senator's business to
help put the principles of his party into
practical operation. He is partisan and
must work for the good of his party. How
then could be be elected by non-partisan
vote? A non-partisan legislator would be
in worse fix than the dove of Noah that
found no place for the sole Of its foot.
But this project to run "independents"
for the Legislature is a Democratic trick to
get control of the Legislature and send a
Democrat to the United States Senate,
and there are those SO blind that they do
not see what it all means. 1t is an old
Democratic trick, too, and has been played
with success at times. Whenever that
party was not quite sure of victory under
its own flag it dresses up few staIwarts
as independents, or it takes those of
some other faith who can be convinced"
at the proper time SO as TO vote for
Democrat. Let no Republican permit
this Democratic trick to be played upon
him. The Republican party has legisla-
tive timber plenty and to spare. Let the
legislative ticket be composed of men who
have convictions and are willing to ex-
hibit them whenever occasion requires.
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-02
THE YEAR 1878.

The Bryanites are crying for the "condi-
tions OF 1873" before the bill suspending
the coinage of silver dollars was passed.
Either they do not know what they are
talking about or they are trying to mis-
lead the people. In 1873 our circulating
money medium consisted of $25, ,OOO, 900 in
coin and nearly $3.50, 100000 in paper
money, which was less than $40 per
capita, the population then being less
than $4,000 900. To-day we have 81, 226,-
600, 900 in coin and over $1.12O,O0O 600 in
various kinds of paper money, making
the per capita over $34, with population
of nearly If not quite 70, 5000
The industries and the farm interests of
the country have grown more in impor-
tance and in wealth since 1873 than in the
preceding half century. The percentage
of working people who have acquired
homes since 1873 has been greater than in
all the preceding years. Since 1873 more
wild" land has been converted into
farms than In the forty years ended in
1873. The percentage of increase in saw
ings bank deposits has been greater since
1873 than from the Declaration of Inde-
pendence down to that period. Not until
after 1873 did the United States begin to
take high rank as an exporting and i'm
porting nation. Not until after 1873 did
the ilyer-mining industry become great
business enterprise. Not until after 1873
were capital com binations formed to con-
struct great systems of railways. In short,
it was not until 1873 that the United States
assumed the position of nation spelled
with a big IN" The material and nu-
merical strength of the United States has
widened and deepened as was never be-
fore seen in any nation since the world
began. America turned new leaf in
1873, and the Republican party caused it
to be turned.

BRYAN'S CEASELESS FLOW.
Nehraska state journal


The newspaper correspondents who accom-
panied Mr.. Bryan do not want to hurt the
young mans feelings, so they have kept back
a number of stories that would make mighty
interesting reading. They are all aware of
Bryan's fondness for speechmaking, and have
had several good things to laugh over quietly
among themselves since they left Chicago.
One of them was telling last night about the
number of speeches made during the day.
isn't it exhausting work for him TO speak at
every station 2" asked a listener.
''Not for Mr.. Bryan" was the answer. 81
tell you he is dead stuck on the game. He is
always willing to talk. You know we have
been travelling on slow trains that stop at
every crossroads. He never failed to be ready
for talk. One day when the train was
ambling along through the country, one of
the boys dropped his hat out of the car win
dow. boy picked it up and began chasing
the train to restore it to its owner. It wasn't
so absurd thing to do considering the speed
of the train. A dozen of us began yelling to
encourage him. suppose we made a tremen-
dous racket, for in minute Mr.. Bryan came
rushing into the car. Where are theyf he
asked, eagerly. He was ready 10 make
sDeech."

THE sENAToRsHIP.

The duty. of electing United States
Senate Will devolve upon the next Legis-
lature, and it is of vital importance that he
be true and tried Republican. Economic
questions of great consequence to the
whole country will come before the Fifty
sixth Congress. and it will be greatly to
the interests of California, as well as to
the interests of the whole country, to have
a safe working ma iority OF Republicans
in both houses. Ii will not avail the in
dustries and the commerce of the country
very much if Major Mckinley, when he is
inaugurated, finds himself confronted by
hostile Congress, and this fact should
stimulate the party everywhere to see to
it that the next Congress is in sympathy
with the policy of the administration.
1t is admitted on all sides that proper
tariff legislation is needed. The industries
of the country are in crippled condition,
and workingmen are Idle. Better condi-
tions for both are demanded, and they
look to the Republican party to see that
justice is done them. 1t is true that the
Republican silver Senators have opposed
tariff legislation of late because they be-
lieved that the money question should be
settled first, but now Senator Teller says
that if Major Mckinley is elected he shall
take it as meaning that the people demand
the settlement of the tariff question first,
and that he will offer no objection to Con-
gress taking such q course. 1t is safe to
say, in view of Senator Tellers position,
that all the silver Senators will agree to
suspend silver legislation until the mills
and factories are again in full operation.
The Democracy everywhere is willing to
trade Bryan for Congressman and Sem
ators. The plan appears to be to control
one if not both branches of Congress, so
as to prevent the repeal of the Wilson
German act. What Democrats want is
still further reductions in tariff duties, and
they know very well that il a thoroughly
protective tariff law is enacted the ad-
vantages accruing from it would so
strengthen the Republican party that
the people would not for many years
make change in the administration. It
is of the utmost Importance, therefore,
that the Congressional and legislative
tickets be looked after. The party cannot
afford to have a Republican Presidents
hands tied by Democratic Congress,
