A SENATOR OFF IN HIS FACTS
Senator Morgan has remarkable con-
ception of a free, representative gov
eminent, republican in FORM" when
he describes the Transvaal republic as
enjoying the blessings of such govern
ment. No doubt, from the Beers
standpoint, their republic is all that it
should be, but it falls far short of the
American idea. The Uitlanders, or
foreign population, mostly English,
outnumber the Beers two to one. They
pay nearly all of the taxes, but they
have not the representation to which
they are fairly entitled under any sys-
TEN of government even approximat
ing the republican form. We waged
war against Great Britain and estab-
lished our independence for taxation
without representation, and the Uit-
landers have almost as good case as
we had. There is much to admire in
the Beers, but certainly their form of
government cannot be held up as a
model to Americans. If the colonies,
after achieving their independence,
had regarded all who came to America
to develop the country and to add to
it's wealth as persons to be taxed but
not represented, our Declaration of
Independence would have been a
mockery and our constitution farce.

Conclusion G. "roa.co and Juliet,


III one important matter Shakespeare

but Boaistuau aid Brooke. In the
drama Romeo is dead when Juliet

band and the viking wife Ard cannot

scene, think he las, or, to lut it i'll
another way, think the dramatic YER
sion is the better one for dramatic pl.r-
poses, whether our English poet lrada
deliberate choice OF not. MRS Fanny
Kemble, says writer in The Saturday
Review (Sept. "a, 1922, preferred,
apparently Galrick S version of Romeo
and Juliet to the original.
"Garrick returned to the finale in the
novel Of La Giuletta, by Luigi Ola
Porto, where Romeo does not die till
Juliet awakes from her trance. Mrs.
Kemble considered this finer end from
a dramatic point of view. It certainly
is :" Is it? The scene on the stage is ter
rible enough as it is, and the emotions
of terror and pity are as intense as an
Aristotle could wish. How, then, could
We bear the agony of scene between
the dying Romeo and his awakening
bride? 1t is horrible to read Of, but to
see before ones eyes it would be. in my
Judgment, intolerable. In the story
meant for reading it is appropriate and
arouses the feelings of commiseration to
the highest degree. Shakespeare has
reached the same end, though Romeo
dies first. Both are right. 1 consider.
The story for story, the drama for

English Aschylus was not, but to side

Six Things a Boy Ought to Know.

l. That quiet voice, courtesy and
kind acts are as essential to the part
in the world of gentleman as of a
gentlewoman.
2. That roughness, clustering and
even foolhardiness are not manliness.
The most firm and courageous have
usually been the most gentle.
3. That muscular strength is not
health.
4. That brain crammed only with
facts is not necessarily wise one
5. That the labor impossible to the
boy of IA will be easy to a. man of 20.
6. The hest capital for a boy is not
money, but the love of work, simple
tastes and heart loyal to his friends
and his God.

RACE WAR IN SCHOOLS.
Trouble in Perry, 0. t., Because Colored
Citizens Make Demands for

Citizens Make Demands for
Their Children.
by Telegraph to the N. Y. Herald
PERRY, O. T., Jan. 10, 1s96-This
city has been in much turmoil over the
question of mixed schools. One hun
dred colored children, accompanied by
their parents and friends, presented
themselves at the High School Build
ing this morning, and others at other
buildings. and demanded admittance.
They claimed this right through a
recent decision by District Judge
here, who decided in one mandamus
case that George Washington Alexan-
der Webster, ten years old, son of a
well known colored citizen, should be
admitted to the third grade class OF
the public schools. This morning
Webster was among those who de-
manded admittance. The County
Supervisor, recently of Omaha, Neb,
refused to admit any child, except the
one boy, as ordered by the Court.
This caused great indignation among
the colored persons and several fights
occurred
Young men and boys of the High
School armed themselves with stones
and other implements to drive the col
ored children out of the rooms and
from the school building. One young
woman was knocked senseless. The
colored persons and their children left
after making their demand.
Officers brought the children of John
Harp, a colored man, to one OF the
schools at noon on a writ. In the. alb
sence of the superintendent, who was
inspecting other buildings, the officers
demanded of the teachers in each room
the admittance of the children. Each
teacher refused. The children were
then taken in and ordered to be seated.
The teachers refused to recognize them
as pupils.
1t is said to night that warrants have
been sworn out for sixteen members of
the School Board, and every teacher,
for contempt of court and that they
will be arrested. This will be resented
by the white citizens, who say they
outnumber the negroes.
The laws of Oklahoma provide for
mixed schools unless the voters decide
otherwise. An election cannot be held
for six months.

your tariff bill are the victims of so
much abuse, it occurs to me that you

they have been at any time in the five
