Hon. Thomas E. Watson, who was
nominated at st. Louis last Friday for
vice president, is a citizen Of Thomson, in
the Tenth congressional district Of Geor-
gia. He was elected to congress as DEM
ocrat in 1889; but soon afterward an
nounced himself Populist. He made
himself felt in congress to such an extent
that many politicians of national reputa-
ton exerted themselves to secure his de-
feat. He was defeated for reelection by
Major ]. G. G. Black, Democrat but as
to whether fairly has always been matter
of very grave doubt. He ran against
Major Black two years later, and was
again defeated as before. Major Black
resigned in order that they might try it
over again. Watson was defeated again,
this time, no doubt, fairly. Major Black,
Watson's Democratic opponent, is an
honorable man, and nobody has ever
accused him Of even countenancing the
questionable methods that were used
against Watson. Watson is man Of un-
doubted ability, and is also patriotic and
pure. He has accepted the nomination,
he says, to prevent the disruption of the
Populist party.

Senator Allen, of ofNebraska, was perma-
nent Chairman of the convention. He
has been in the senate for about four years
now, and is an earnest champion of the
free coinage of silver. He spoke against
the unconditional repeal of the Sherman
law until his lips cracked and began to
bleed. The speech lasted about "a hours,
and was the longest that has ever been
delivered in the senate. He has all along
been a great admirer of VIM. ]. Bryan
and used his influence throughout the
convention to secure Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
ton. His election as permanent chair
man was considered, as it proved to be, a
decided victory for the Bryanites.

against Sewall. It was urged that

He was elected temporary chairman of
the convention, and it is said that he was
a marriott of the council. At first he was
bitterly opposed to the endorsement of
the Democratic nominees. Finally, he
turned over to Bryan, and by this means
got himself elected as temporary chair
man. Then he took part in the effort to
smash the proposition to accept the Dem
ocratic nominee by helping to put on a
southern populist as vice president. He
has been elected chairman Of the nation

then in critical condition. The great
question was whether the party should
seek to preserve its organization or
should seek to preserve untarnished
the principles upon which it had been
founded. He felt sure that all the
delegates had read in the papers the
statement from Mr.. Bryan that he
would not accept the nomination un-
less it includes his running mate. Mr..
Bryan could have said nothing less.
To have done so, would have been a

The sockless statesman from Kansas
was straight out for the nomination OF
the Democratic ticket without any quib-

hated Rome, and like him, have made

tive work in other lines and so leave

worth the while of a State to keep
its young and ardent teachers in the
ranks that they have enlisted under?
The pay of teachers in this country
is in many cases utterly inadequate 10
the work done 1t is understood that
some effort is being made to equalize
the situation, but until the Legislature
becomes more liberal in contributions
to the school department, the records
will have to be on the same lines as
heretofore. Minister Cooper, we learn,
is putting his mind to the question, and
some plan may be promulgated which
will be satisfactory to the teachers and
to the public.

SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL TEACHERS

The public schools closed Friday.
1t is quite question whether the peo-
pie of this country appreciate the work
that is done for them. The school
teachers life is far harder and far
more responsible than the ordinary
man or woman thinks. To have the
control of from forty to seventy young
sters as many of the young women,
who are employed by the Board of Ed
ucation, have, is in itself no light task
The nervous strain is, immense. The
sense of responsibility is very heavy
and in most cases is felt very severely.
1t is only that in rare instances that a
teacher is utterly callous and simply
does his or her work for the sake of
the pay. The fact is that in most in
stances they throw the whole of their
life into the work and wear themselves
out, getting little and, in some cases, no
thanks.
OF course, regarded from the point of
hours" the teacher has the advantage
of the business man. But there is after
all no comparison. The business man
can stop his work for while, go out.
have chat, return and go to work
again. Not so the teacher. He or she

Christian countries it is chiefly She
because she" is cheap-has from the
moment the foot is put down in the
school room to be constantly on the
alert, to have the brain ready upon
questions of the course to be pursued
and also ready upon any question which
may arise. To be a good teacher argues +

power

MCKINLEY FOR PRESIDENT.

Contrary 10 the history of all previous
Republican national conventions, it is
the expected that has happened. Nc
Kinley. the logical candidate; McKin-
ley. the choice OF large majority of
State delegations; Mckinley, the once
defeated but later the victorious pro-
tectionist, has been nominated to lead
the Republican forces in TIE Presi-
Dental campaign. The dark horse re-
manned in his dark corner, and now re-
turns to his home to work for the sue
cess of man who was beyond question
the first choice of the rank and file of
the Republican party. AS TO the course
of the American people-that remains
to be proved.
Had the Republicans been able in
their convention to hold the atten-
ton strictly to the tariff plank, there
could be no question of McKinley's
success at the polls. But with the
money problem forging with such
prominence to the front, an element of
uncertainty has been introduced that
will by no means lessen the burdens OF
the party managers. OF the platform
generally, it may be said that it is char
acteristic of the man who represents
it's principles The platform is clear,
concise and straightforward. 1t avoids
nothing and strikes straight at the
mark upon every political problem that
is troubling the American people of to-
day. In the money plank, where a
straddle might be expected, the Repub-
Iican party declares solidly for sound
money and TO all intents and purposes
a gold standard.
The withdrawal of Senator Teller
and a small coterie of silverites is not
surprising. 1t by no means, however,
foreshadows Republican defeat. What
votes may be lost in the silver States
will be more than made up in the gains
made from Democratic ranks in the
Eastern and Middle States.
The foreign policy outlined for the
campaign will be received with unal-
Ioyed qualification in this country. 1t
is a practical sanction of the Admins
tration of President Harrison and
without making the annexation ques-
ton a direct party issue, foreshadows
the success of the movement for closer
political union. That Hawaii has not
been forgotten by the Mckinley lead
ers was evidenced by Senator Thurs
ton in his nomination speech when, he
said: Under his (McKinley's) admin
istration we shall command the respect
of the nations of the earth; the Amer
lean flag will never be hauled down;
the rights of American citizenship will
be enforced"
The Hawaiian question is made a
party issue insofar as the maintenance
of American control over this country
carries out true American principles.
With a Republican Administration
placed in power to carry out the plat
form at ST. Louis it is safe to say that
the attitude of the United States
toward Hawaii will be SO clearly and
definitely defined that no succeeding
Administration will be able to re-enact
the un-American policy that has OBJ
tanned during the past four years.

AMERICAN IMMIGRATION.

An article published in this journal
with reference to the Mccall immigra-
ton bill seems TO have been ahead of
things as our situation goes. BY this
we mean that the Advertisers remarks
were, so far as this country is concern
ed, in advance of the comments of the
United States newspapers. 1t is inter
esting TO see that the line of argument
taken up here is the same line of argu-
ment taken up there. The absolute i'm
possibility of carrying out the law is
plain. The Chicago Chronicle says:
1T is assumed that the steamship
companies Will take means to find out
about the literary attachments of their
passengers, for they are required to
carry back at their own expense all
who fail to pass the prescribed exam
nation. 1t is also assumed that the
companies will either keep on hand
competent Inguists to examine appli
cants for passage, or that they will re-
ject all, however worthy, who cannot
be examined properly by any member
of their respective faculties. And of
Government will keep an able and nu
merous polyglot corps at Ellis Island
and at other points where foreigners
enter the country"
By the way, in this country it is in
teresting to note where the illiterate
people come from. 1t is interesting here
because the nationality that heads the
OF the immigrants into the United
States Portugal stands first with 67.35
per cent of iIliterates, while Denmark
occupies the place of honor with only
40 per cent. We give the table, which
is well worth keeping, as it shows the
relative educational standard of the
countries whose citizens emigrate to
the United States:

TEN THOUSAND DROWNED.
Effects of Earthquakes and Tidal Wave
in Lanan,s Northern Provinces.

Effects of Earthquakes and Tidal Wave
I'm JaTsn's Northern Provinces.
YOKOHAMA. June 19.-Additional
reports as TO the loss of life in the
recent earthquakes and tidal wave in
the northern provinces of Japan show
that 10000 persons were drowned by
the tidal wave which swept the shores.
YOKOHAMA. June 17.-EarthQuakes
and tidal waves have caused great loss
of life in Northern Japan.
The town of Kamaishi has been en-
tirely destroyed and it is estimated that
at least 1000 people were killed. Dur
ing twenty hours there were f59 dis
tinct shocks of earthquake. The tidal
wave did much damage along the coast.
The disturbance occurred on the ISL
and of Yesso, which contains the north
ern province of Japan, including
Shirebeshe, Oshima, Furi, Hitaka, Te-
kachi, Ishikarir, Kirshiro, Teshio, Kit
amies and Nomario.
All these sections of the island seem
to have been more or less shaken. The
subterraneous disturbances lasted
about twenty hours, and during that
period the utmost terror prevailed.
The rum blings are described as resem-
bling the roar OF distant cannon.
Shock followed shock in almost I'M
succession, about every
eight minutes. In all it is estimated
that there were $50 shocks, of more or
less force.
It is impossible to obtain for the
present accurate details of the disas-
ter, as communication between the
mainland of Japan and Yesso, from
which the former is separated by the
Strait of Tsugura, is in the hands of
the authorities.
The whole town of Kumaisha, how
ever, is reported to have been destroy
ed. The awful series of earthquakes
was accompanied by tidal wave, and
it is believed it was the rush from the
sea which practically wiped out the
town of Kumaisha, which is situated
on a narrow neck of land separating
it from Volcano Bay on the opposite
side of the island.
