The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-04-18

We have already noticed the April
issue OF the Atlantic, but we recur to
that number to say that under the gen.
eral heading. "The Case of the Public
Schools" series of articles is being
printed which must tend to awaken
public sentiment in behalf of our school
system. The second paper, upon 1.-THE
Training OF the Teacher" is by Fred W.
Atkinson, Principal of the High School,
Springfield, Mass. Mr.. Atkinson pre-
pared himself for teaching in the public
schools at Harvard University, at vari-
GUS German Universities, and the Sor-
bonnie, and has given life of study to
the consideration of pedagogical ques-
tions. His paper is we'll calculated to
show teachers the responsibilities of
their position.

NEW BOOKS.
Froebel's Kindergarten Songs.

Froebel's kindergarten Songs.
The Songs and Music of Friedrich
Froebers Mother Play, just issued by D.
Appleton & Co., is the second and con.
Guiding volume of Miss Susan E. Blows
version of Froebel's noted work which
laid the foundation for that important
branch of early education. the kinder
garten. The first volume. The Notices
and Commentaries, may be designated
as the Teachers or Mothers book, and
The Songs and Music, the present vol
ume, as the Children's book. In the lat
ter many of the pictures have been en-
larged in parts to bring out the details
more distinctly, an advantage that prac-
tical kindergartners will appreciate.
New translations of the songs, eliminat-
ing the crudities of poetic composition
that have appeared in the literal imita-
tions of Froebel, and the substitution of
new music where the original has been
discarded, are among the other features
that will commend Miss Blows work to
all engaged in kindergarten instruction.

The full title of Mr.. Gilbert Parker's
new romance is The Seats of the Mighty:
Being the Memoirs of Captain Robert
Moray. sometime an Officer in the Vir-
ginia Regiment, and afterwards of Am
herst's Regiment. For the time of his
story, which is to be published by D.
Appleton & Co., Mr.. Parker has chosen
the most absorbing period of the roman
tic eighteenth century history of Que
bee. The curtain rises soon after Gen.
eral Braddock's defeat in Virginia, curl
ously entangled in the intrigues of La
Pompadour, becomes part of strange
history, full of adventure and the stress
of peril, which eliminates only after
Wolfe's victory over Montcalm. The
illustrations preserve the atmosphere of
the text, for they present the famous
buildings, gates, and battle grounds as
they appeared at the time of the hero's
imprisonment in Quebec.

MUST SUPPORT GOLD BUGS.
That is What Holton and Grant Both
Say,

The Populists under the agreement,
are forced either to vote for the gold
bug candidates of the Republican par
ty or to nominate decoy ducks in the
districts in which the gold bugs are
running. Col. f. A. OIds asked three
prominent fusionists if under the
terms Of agreement, Populiets could
support Democrat for Congress in
either the second, fifth, eighth or
ninth district. Here are the replies:
Chairman Holton: Not under the
terms of this contract. The Populists
can't afford to vote for them. They
are dq@ending upon Republican votes
in til st, third, fourth, fifth and sew
enth district to elect their Congress-
men. If they give their support to
Democrats in any other district they
have no right to expect our support.
Under the arrangement the Populists
insure the election of five Congressman,
while if they support Democratic nomi-
nees they send Democrats to Congress
and leave themselves nothing at all"
I'll. l.. Grant said: mo. They must
put up their own men in the second,
fifth and ninth districts, or else endorse
Pearson and Settle"
Chairman Aver declined to give an
swer..
Populist State committeeman LLOYD
said: "The plan is to keep all Popu-
lists from voting for Democrats for any
of the places you name. OF course if
any Populists have already independ-
emily pledged themselves to vote for
Democrat, that will stand, but know
of no case of the kind. I believe, of
course, we viii put up men in the fifth
and ninth. / am a candidate in the
second, and the convention will be held
next Thursday at Rocky Mount"

YELLoW-BELLIEs AT DURHAM.
Three of Them Meet and Appoint Two
Electors-The Other Electors to be
Chosen This Week. and an Adj
dress to be Issued.

The second convention of the Yellow
Bellies was held in Durham Thursday
night last. There were present Messrs.
w. Il. Ashley, of Raleigh; III. q. Fries,
of Standardization; and Louis De La
Croix, of Oxford. Had it not been for
this great demonstration, the court
house at Oxford packed as it was
would have been unable to hold the
overflow that would have pressed for
entrance.
These three gentlemen, under pow
ers given them by the Greensboro
Octette, appointed as the two Electors
at large, Messrs. w. w. Clark, of New
bern and Lindsay Patterson, of Win
ston.
Also, two other gentlemen were adj
ded to the committee, whose names Mr..
Ashley was unable last night to re-
call.
The committee expect to appoint the
other nine Electors as soon as they
are agreed upon. Mr.. Ashley said
that within a week, the whole cleo
toral and Presidential ticket would
be named. At the same time an adj
dress will be issued to the people, and
nothing else will be left for them to
do but to see their candidates duly
Installed, as they surely will be on the
ides or nodes of next March, as Presi-
dent and Vice-President respectively
of these United States.
And the country will have been saved
from confagration by the Democratic
anarchists by only an Octette of Cash
biancas, who think, perhaps, that by
facing the fire now they will avoid it
in the great hereafter.

BUTLER rs EVAsIVE.
The Republicans offered to give the
Populists the Governor now if the Pop
ulists would publicly promise to sup
mort Pritchard for the Senate. The
Populists replied that such a promise
would utterly destroy them; that they
could not carry their followers at one
stem to support Pritchard, and 1t was
therefore best to postpone action IN
regard to the governorshlp TIL later'
This is the SITUATION dS ~ 4CaACH Out'
The following interview wired out
from Washington, seems to establish
it. The remarks of Senator Butler
at least show that he would not say
what Mai. Guthrie is saying every day
about Pritchard, though lie talked that
way three months ago:
s'Will the fusion with the Republicans
on the legislative ticket result IN the
election Of Republican to the United
States Senate to succeed Senator
Pritchard?" Mr.. Butler was asked.
IF such an arrangement had been
made" replied Mr.. Butler, evasjvely,
"our candidate for Governor would
would have had a clear track. As it is,
there is a three-cornered race for Gov
ernor, and if we elect our candidate, as
have no doubt we will, it will be with
our the aid of Republican fusion. The
candidates elected to the Legislature
viii he free to follow their own inclin-
atoms. / am led to believe that neither
of the three parties with candidates in
the field viii have a majority Of the
Legislature"

he is of a verify the up-to-date poll
tician in Hawaiian society circles. He
has done better as a bolter than did
Henry NJ. Teller and others who left
the Republican convention at st.
Louis. They went home to tell their
troubles to constituencies, whereas
the only Robert took a constituency
along and is since adding to it. Robert
is "the genuine Peruvian bark" with

anneXationist and may veer around

South Australia is enthusiastically

immigration. \ japanese flood had
been threatened. The Colonials are
prone to act promptly and decisively
when the interests of the common
good are at stake. The prospects of
a Chinese invasion were readily
brushed aside some years ago. South
Australia has taken the bull by the
horns in a manner worthy of emula-
ton. They must have and they do
have very cheap labor over there, but
they prefer other than cheap citizens
and have the pretty courage to say SO
and insist upon it,
