To be Held in Buffalo Early in July
An Attendance of 10000 is Ez-
peeted
The annual session of the National
EducationaI association IS to be held IN
Buffalo, beginning July and closing
July II. It viii be a great congress of
educators, in which the $50, 600 school
teachers ia TINS country viii be repre-
sented by at least 20, coo of their num-
Der.
The practical results from this yearly
gathering are beyond measure. Every
schoolteacher who attends carries back
to her work Few ideas, new theories of
instruction and gains the stimulus to
put some Of them into operation. The
convention is really a school for the
teachers, where the most advanced pre-
ceptors gather to exchange ideas which
may be taken advantage of by the most
humble teacher. The convention plat
form is the forum from which the COM
bined Thought Of the best educators of
the age IS announced and commented
upon.
It Is not only q great gathering Of
teachers, but it is we'll organized and
carefully classified body which is sub
divided in such a way that special as
we'll as general work may be done. Each
forenoon there viii be a general meeting
attended by all delegates in the large
Buffalo Music hall, but in the afternoon
there viii be separate sessions Of the 10
or more various departments. Tt is in
these departments that the special work
is taken up. The superintendent Of
schools, for instance, are members Of
one department. and they discuss at theiI
meetings subjects which would have no
interest at all to the kindergarten OF
elementary teachers, who have their
own department. sessions at which mat
tiers with which they are -amiiar are
talked about by men and women who
have made their subjects the study of
years.
There are departments for teachers Of
art, music, physical culture, natural
science and other branches. Each de-
partment has two sessions a week, SO
that on the other days the teachers may
attend the meetings of other depart
ments than their own in which they
may happen to be interested.
For three days before the meeting Of
the convention the national council,

Hard times are the price the Ameri-
can voter pays for his ignorance Of I'm
aneial and economic questions. He
won't study the matter, and scheming
men who do study it, plumber him,
throw him out OF work, ruin his bust
ness and make him a pauper. Isn't it
in one sense a just punishment for the
voter who win not inform himself? An
American citizen VINO hasn't energy
enough to study these questions and
act on them ia an intelligent manner
can not expect any better treatment
than he gets.

Representatives of the 40, 600 Sab.

that the Hub viii find itself called upon

These delegates represent Sunday
schools scattered all over the United
States and the British provinces, with
an aggregate membership of 10, 600, 600
scholars and teachers. Big round num-
bers these are. But that is what these
delegates talk about. You would learn,

The Rochester Democrat and Chroni-
Gle does not believe there viii be much
Of bolt by gold standard Democrats.
Tt quotes Senator Brice as saying that
gold Democrats would not bolt the Chi
cage nomination should the silver men
gain fun control, and that a third can
didate in the field as the representative
o. the Democrats who favor the gold
standard would not be much Of a fig
ure. unless the regular Democratic or
carnations in tine gold states repudiat-
ed the work at Chicago and turned over
their machinery to the third candidate.
The Chronicle says further.
Not even the president is mourning
over the prospect Of a silver triumph at
Chicago. and the prospects Of Demo
cratic division are very small.
So Democrats of all sections are get
ting in line Banker Benedict, who has
furnished the president with views for
some time. is inclined to resist; but the
politicians are ready to join the silver
procession.

ers' and Publishers union and to de-
nominatiOnal societies. After the di-
verging views of these associations have
been expressed the committee consider
their recommendations and give them
as much satisfaction as possible.
The sessions Of the international con
vention will be held in the beautiful
new fremont temple, which was re-
Gently dedicated, and in the Park Street
church. Two sessions will be held each
day for three days. Dwight L. Moody,
the evangelist, will have charge of the
opening services, and viii also speak
for 20 minutes each noon at the Park
Street church.
On the Sunday previous to the open
ing Of the convention all the pastors
throughout the state and many in New
England are to preach sermons or de-
liver addresses containing the story of
the origin and work of the convention
and of the plans for Sunday school
work in the future. 1t is an interesting
story too. The first national convention
was held Ga years ago in Chatham
street chapel, New York. Only 22O
delegates were present representing but
10 states in the Union. At the coming
all the territories will be represented.
The Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen Of
New Jersey was the first president.
The first international convention was
held ~ years later, in May, 1875, at
Baltimore. Rev. DR.. George A. Pelts,
also of New Jersey, was chosen presi-
dent. From these two starting points
the movement has gone forward with
increasing power and magnitude. The
leading clergymen Of all denominations
have taken an interest in the work,
and some Of our most prominent public
men have taught Bible classes in the
Sunday school Chairman B. F. Jacobs,
who has been in the movement for
many. years, and whose services have
been largely instrumental IN its growth
and prosperity, is a Chicago business
man He is an indefatigable worker,
and has at his finger tips all the details
Of the big organization which he has
helped to build. C. T. BAXTER.

Tt is maintained by the gold men that
the only reason silver and paper eircu-
lates at par is because it is redeemable
in gold. The only way to prove this
would be to repeal the legal tender
part of the law relating to those forms
Of currency. This would show them up
in their true light of supporters of fiat
money. The silver men wish to
squeeze the fiat out of silver and make
a silver dollar worth a dollar in fact.

While the proposition Of Mr.. Payne
of Wisconsin to change the basis of
representation from the congressional
delegation to the Republican vote seems
to have merit, it would probably in
crease a sectional feeling which occa-
sionally crops out even now.

Perhaps the next time the Republi-
cans of Kansas meet in state conven-
ton they VIII declare in favor Of some
policy. The experience they are now
passing through of having Cy Leland
publish it to the world that Kansas IS
a goldbug state should teach a lesson.

After all, perhaps the silver Republi-
cans who are talking are not SO danger
Gus to the success Of the party as those
who are not talking. There are mil
ions of them and their silence is omi-
nous. 1t Is equivalent to saying to the
politicians 90 on and fix this thing up
and if it doesn't suit US then we wiz
see what we viii do about it.

 Mustafa Kamei Says There Is Strong
 Feeling Existing Between Them.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The Herald pub fishes the following correspondence from Constantinople under the date of Nov. Il:
 At moment when the Turkish ques. tion is in semieffective state and may occupy the attention of the world, the visit here of Mustafa Kamel, head of the Egyptian National Patriotic party, is not without significance. One of Mus tafa Kamels objects in coming here was to dispel any idea that tho khediye is not entirely loyal to the sultan. As re- gards the feeling existing among the Egyptians themselves-and he repre- sents the rising generation-he said:
 The Egyptians without exception. are dlscontented with the British oeeu. patton. They know that England is striving to blind Europe and the entire world i'll order that she may place her hand over the entire valley of the night Their former confidence in the word of the English nc longer exists The Eng fish occupation has taught them that i'll politics there is neither morality nor honor.
 But why should the Egyptians seek to get rid of British rule? They are prosperous and well governed under it, 3 was asked him.
 We Egyptians wish to be rid of Brit ish rule, - said Mustafa Kamel, firstly, because it is our duty as nation full of vitality, knowing its right toward itself, and even toward the holy fatherland Next, because the British occupation ruins Egypt morally and materially J
 Will you tell me what is Egypt's at titude toward Turkey?'
 'fThe policy counselled by the Egypt ian patriots to the whole of Egypt is to bind herself to Turkey and to strength en those bonds more than ever History tells us to follow no other policy. If the English are ill Egypt today it is owing
 
 existed before the occupation between the sultan. the khedive and Tewtik Pasha. The English are at present us- ing all their efforts to divide the sultan and the khedive, but we are sure that the wisdom and patriotism of the khe. dive fortify him in the policy of reap proachment with Turkey wherein alone rests his welfare and that of Egypt. :"
 Gan you explain the sudden cause of the English expedition to Dongola?"
 Mustafa Kamel certainly gave new idea about England's move.
 "For long time," he. said, .sthe English have looked yearningly toward the Soudan. They wish to grasp the inexhaustible source of riches there They are aware that the master of the Sondan Is the master of Egypt, and that If the Euro pean powers managed to make England eyacuate the free Sou dan, which owes Europe no debt, as Egypt does. would become an English province. h that direction they have worked for long years.
 When they saw in 1891 that France and Russia were preparing for an en- tente and could give the negus of Ab- yssinla officers and arms in order to push hlm toward the Soudan, the English pushed Italy toward Abyssinia

to prevent the advance Of the negus lnuo the Soudan Their game succeeded ad- mirably, and Italy being naiYely thrown upon Abyssinia, did but serve the plans of England with her blood and her money.
 Ever skiilful the English under 3 pretext of saving the Italians, profted by their disasters to undertake the Don gola expedition with the assent of the triple alliance. Today to complete the comedy, England asks Italy to give her back Kassala. Thus it is that the Eng fish have mocked all Europe without Europe forcing them to leave our dear fatherland
