oKLAHOMA'S TEACHERS,

In Oklahoma the teachers have just
concluded a general convention. At
that convention many papers We're
read, all dealing specifically with the
questions of pedagogy.
At the conclusion of the meeting
resolutions were passed. which deserve
especial commentator. These reSO-
buttons were formal, thanking various
persons for the entertainment they
had enjoyed and praising an educa-
tional journal. There is not one hint
of reform in the entire document; no
protestation of wrong endured or in
justice intended; no Cry for political
publication; or for the suppression of
any mans business; and no request for
a higher standard of public service.
This is good. The teachers of Okla
hOma should always keep along this
line. Teachers have not done so in
many other states, and their diverg-
ence from the strict path of pedagogy
has exposed them TO criticism and an
tagonism and not helped them in the
least.
Oklahoma's schools should be its
pride above all other things. Okla
hoina is yet a territory. Her land is
not taxed. Consequently her personal
property is, at n high rate and on a
full-value assessment. At this time
the taxation appears exorbitant and
there is a great deal Of complaint. but
not one shaft of prutestation has been
aimed at the public school system of
oklahoma. The people who crowded
into Oklahoma from long established
states did not have to wa1t long for the
organization OF splendid school syS-
TEN. This they have now. They
have also instructors of superior in
relligence and tact, and the prorata at
tendance in the public schools OF Ok
lahoma today equals that of many
states.
1t is TO the lasting glory OF Oklahoma
that Il normal school, a university. an
agricultural college and other territor-
ial institutions were established and
the charitable and territorial penal in
StitutiOnS were allowed TO wait. For
oklahoma. six years old and over. has
educational institutions of long stand
ing and great prosperity. while il has
not penitentiary or reform school.
The congraiulatory fact is not that
Oklahoma does not need a penitentiary
ar 4 reform school. but that il lets them
wait and uses the available funds for
educational institutions instead.

which it was party. 1t has ever
been party blind to justice, and
resolute enly in applying every means
| possible to accomplish their end, re-
| CARELESS of honor, or even the show of
fair play AS an epitome Of Tory prin-
ciples this letter is worth preserving.
As the exponent of truth, its author is
! entitled 10 the glory of steering clear
of that ancient virtue from beginning
to end Starting out upon the cold
assumption that the Monroe doctrine
does not apply in the Venezuela bound
airy dispute, he puts the president and
| congress in the ridiculous attitude of
not knowing what they We're doing
when they called England down in
| their attempt 10 steal rich tract Of
mineral lands TO which she never had
the shadow of title. Following this
is the gratuitous statement that the
people have changed front, and that,
on second thought, are ready TO re-
pudiate the action taken by our con-
stituted authorities. For unique lying,
and willful Misrepresentation this writ
eF is surely entitled TO the champion
ship. If any question OF moment, now
before the American people, is well di-
gested, and upon which all sections
and parties are united, it is upon the
unanimous desire TO fail the earth with
England, Tories and all. His line of
argument is of that kind that, assum-
ing the premises, anything can be
proven. 1t is competent to say that
the Monroe doctrine does apply in this
dispute, and every resident of the
United States, including this CORES
pondent, knows it. 1t is the simple
yes and no on this point that divides
us, and the two nations may yet find
that the issue involves vastly more
than the easy assumption of CORES
pendent.
He makes much also of the report
that the Rothschilds have declined to
participate in another purchase Of
United States bonds, and saddles the
responsibility on Cleveland for his plea
of national bankruptcy in his late mes
sage to congress. This is all true save
that the house of Rothschild is anxious
to invest millions in American securi-
ties, and this government can pay all
her debts and England never will, or
can.
He very sagely relegates the matter
of President Cleveland's impeachment
to the politicians, saying that congress
has no power to condone such a wrong
He deprecates the awkward position of
congress, however, in having made it
self an accomplice in the affair, so he
would have both congress and the
president impeached by the politicians.
Bright idea that, but it is the kind of
pabulum being fed to English readers.
Surely no good can come of any sacri-
flee of the integrity of the press. Cor
respondents, editors and statesmen, all
alike, will enhance the chances for a
paeceable settlement of our difficulties
by simply adhering to the truth. There
is room for display of ingenuity in
lodging Well-known facts, but it is a
pitia bic plea in abatement to attempt
to fortify bad cause by assumptions |
based upon falsehood or prejudice.

You walk as if your knees had springs;
You wag your head like a young dude.
The world is new to you, young chap;
You swing and strut and swagger bold;
Just wait until you've passed the lap

You'll feel the burdens Of your place.

With all the dreary. bring Us mirth.
Such JOY before you've met your fate.

With sObs for all the dreaTy past
