ro-MOaROW,s CONVENTION.

The Republican State convention
which is to be held in this city to- NOR
row has at least one very plain and
important duty to do. That Is to make
declaration for sound money that
will be so clear and direct that there
can be no misunderstanding of its
meaning. No Republican convention
that has yet been held has put the
money matter any better than the Mas
sachusetts convention, which said:
1--WE regard the silver agitation as
hurtful to business and destructive to
confidence, and, as has recently been
shown, hostile to all tariff legislation
designed to give protection to our in
dustries and revenue to our treasury.
We are entirely opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and to any
change in the existing gold standard
except by international agreement
Each dollar must be kept as good as
every other dollar. The credit of the
United States must be maintained at
the highest point, so that it cannot be
questioned anywhere either at home or
abroad. Every promise must be rigid
ly kept. and every obligation redeema-
BILE in coin must be paid in gold" This
is good example for the Connecticut
convention to follow.
We do not know any good reason why
the custom of choosing an "unin-
structed delegation" should be broken
at this time. 1t is long time since
Republican convention in this State has
instructed its delegates. Good men
have been selected and then left free to
do what they might think best for Con-
necticut and the country 1t should be
so this time. The "instructing" of the
delegates may deprive Connecticut Of
all influence in the convention. If they
are left free to act they may have a
great deal of influence, as they did on
one occasion which is still fresh in the
minds of those who watch the proceed
ings of political conventions. Good
men should and will be chosen delegates
tomorrow, and their action in the ma
tional convention should be left to their
good sense and sagacity

IN INTERESTING DECISION.

Is negro tried by jury of his peers
white men? The United States Su-
preme court seems to say that he Is.
There were two cases on appeal from
Mississippi. The question was whether
a negro accused of murder and put on
his trial was entitled under the four
teenth amendment to be tried by a
jury of his own race, or at least to
have some persons of his own race on
the jury. In the cases appealed the
juries were composed entirely of white
men, and it was shown in the record
that no colored man had been sum-
moned to sit on the jury for years. al
though the county where the cases were
tried had population of 1000 negroes
and only 1900 whites.
Justice Harlan, in delivering the opin-
ion of the court, said this made no diff
ference so long as the constitution of
Mississippi dealt impartially with all
citizens and the laws made no dis
elimination between them. From what
appeared no distinction was made be-
tween whites and blacks, and all, so
far as the terms of the law were con-
cerned, We're treated alike. Therefore
there was no ground for interference
on the part of the Supreme court. The
justice further held that it was en-
tirely competent for the State legisla-
ture to define the qualifications of
jurors in respect to intelligence and
morality.

Signs Among savages.

But If no serious writer tells Of y
people actually dumb, plenty even at
this time assert that there are races
which cannot converse among them
selves without the assistance of ges-
lures. We hear Of them east of Cape
Palmas in Tasmania. Ceylon, Brazil,
South Africa, North and South Ameri-
ca, and upon excellent authority. But
confirmation of the report does not ar
rive in such volume as we should ex-
pect at the present day, when thought
full and observant travellers swarm in
every quarter of the world. The most
striking case Is that of the Arapahoes.
because it has the guarantee of Sir
Richard Burton, not because it is most
impressive in itself. He says that
these red Indians must rise and sit by
the campfire when they wish to talk
at night, or must kindle fire for the
purpose. But Burton could not posi-
bly, have been speaking of his own
knowledge, for he spent very short
time-six weeks, If we remember right
in galloping through 1.-The plains"
His account of all such matters as this
must have been hearsay. But there is
no doubt that many savages would be
embarrassed if they could not assist
the transmission of their ideas by ges-
ture. One could hardly fancy s. Bush
man talking without grimaces and mo-
tions at every syllable. But the serious
interest of gesticulation lies in the
Identity or the difference of it's forms
in various parts of the world. Such
strange and unaccountable resem~
blances have been noted among races
as far remote from one another as
could be, and so many of them appear
in deaf mutes of civilized Europe that
one may almost be tempted to think
mankind had a natural language after
all, but one-or perhaps two-of ges-
ture, not speech. 1t may be confident
ly assumed that some earnest and Ia
borious student will go into this sub
ject thoroughly one day; perhaps he is
now at work. 1t would be his task to
gather lists of signs used by divers
people, and compare them. Burton
collected some; a vast number of trav-
elers record a few. DR.. Tay1er has
noted many which coincide with those
used by deaf and dumb persons-either
their own individual discovery or
adopted into their system of education.
Thus he found that the signs for hid

the Red Indians, were quite ineligible
to deaf-mute children in Berlin, where
his studies were made. This is most
extraordinary, if one think of it. And

the northwest makes them dissatisfied;
that they soon get discouraged and
write to their friends in Great Britain
about the cheerless, unattraotive lives
they are leading, and that it is we'll
known that many of these letters have
been widely circulated in the English
provincial press and have had the effect
of turning off the tide of emigrants to
other shores-to the United States, Aus
tralia and South Africa. IF these
men," the paper adds, had been mated
with plucky wives, the stories Of their
failure would not have been written
home. They would have found life in
the northwest tolerable and would have
taken pride in overcoming their diff
culties. A few thousand women of the
right kind would probably do more to
make that country than any other in
fluence that could be brought to bear
upon it just now. Suitable immigrants
of that kind can find employment, and
are not likely to have to so long with
out husbands"
Many Toronto people approved of the
general plan, and finally held prelimi-
nary meeting, at which the subject was
discussed and a committee was appoint
ed to report on the feasibility of send
ing girls to the northwest from the
overcrowded centres of population of
the older provinces of Canada. Girls
wanted" was the motto Of the meeting;
but when one of the gentlemen pres
ent unwarily declared that part of the
plan was to send girls out west to
make wives of them for the prairie
farmers, the women present took up
arms against the matrimonial part Of
the scheme. They said that this was
too delicate matter to deal with, and
strongly objected to associating any
marriage scheme with the proposed fe-
male emigration to the west
The committee has not yet reported

say anything that will scare or sfHck

Professor Skeat thinks he has found
new evidence to show that tennis is
derived from the French tenetz, the
imperative of tenir, in a manuscript
reading Of the line Cover, written in
1899, which is the earliest instance of
the use of the word in English. Tenetz
probably meant "see here" 'look out,
and was therefore the equivalent of
'play."

In Iowa, in 1880, the public schools
cost the people $3,Os per capita, and
each conviction of crime cost per capita
nineteen cents. Five years later the
per capita cost of schools had risen to
$S.45, and of each conviction to twenty
three cents. In 1890 per capita school
cost dropped a. little to $3.50, and per
capita cost Of each conviction had in
creased one cent. DR.. A. G. Field of
Des Moines prepared these statistics as
the basis of an argument for moral
teaching in the schools. What the sta
tistics of crime would be without the
public schools we do not know, DR.,
Field says, but, as the burden of crime
increases, as well as the burden of tax
for school purposes, he wonders If the
schools are accomplishing all that they
are capable of in the way of creating
higher order Of citizenship. The teach
ers, he believes, are individually doing
what they can, by precept and example,
but he would supplement this by an

needed. A clear conception, of right

Governor Wolcott says: II have fully
expressed the regret which I should feel
to witness the demolition Of this his
toric and beautiful building-a regret
that think would be general through
out the commonwealth. But I have
given no one any assurance, positive
or otherwise, what my official action
will be on any bill which may be laid
before me, providing either for it's
preservation or destruction. Everyone
is at liberty to conjecture what my
course is likely to be. but no one can
speak from any authority deriver from
me- The inference from this is that
he will veto the bill if 1t comes to
him.
