ANARCHISTS AND ANARCHISTS!

One OF the leading republican papers
In Now York is now trying to unload Gov
ernor Tanner of Illinois upon the dem
ocretic party. The Syracuse Post refer
ring TO the recent disgraceful scenes in
Illinois has this to say:
Tanner looms up as tho logical democratic
cand.antc for 1900. Bryan. Tillman and Alt
geld may as well hide thcir diminished heads.
III Tanner continues to loom" until the re-
pll lican party s quite rid Of him. then the
Lord make us truly thankful
1t is rare that such case OF retribulive
justice otertakes a political party as has
now dumfoundal the republicans In tho
conduct of this man Tanner. That cam
paign cry OF "anarchy" that rung out from
all the republican stumps and met us In
the columns OF all the republican journals
In 1896, has now gone home to roost!
Bryan and Tillman and Altgeld may
now hide their diminished headsl'
Even the false characterization of these
democrats is admitted TO be short OF actual
TanDerism,
But let not the Syracuse Post or any
other republican paper lay the flattcring
JUNCTION to It's soul that Tanner can Gloom

The interesting question now U.s. whethe

teresting books of the year. The story
told is. a seven-years' diary of a childis
natural growth, showing how he learned
TO talk, read, write, add, etc. without d.
rect teaching; and how, incidentally, the
cultivation of obedience, trust, and other
necessary attributes of healthy growth In
chiidhood were influenced. The collection
of colored frontispieces. drawings, and
cuttings, of which there are over five hum
dred, originated in the child'S mind, as the
result of his activity. They are accom-
panied by the child's explanations, and in
many instances are interesting and
thoughtful. There Is quite an element of
fun throughout the book. The results of
the child's study al home, from an educa-
tional standpoint, are given in the intro
auction, with sufficient clearness and au-
thority to convince the most skeptical OF
the practical value of child-study. But
this view of the study in question is not
the most prominent feature of the book.
The fascination of watching the gradual
unfolding Of the little mind instantly
seizes the reader, as the story is told SO
simply, without suggesting any of the
dollhouse methods so often producing the
hybrid. We have all noticed and been i'm
pressed, almost startled by unexpected
bits of intelligence, but no one has given
q complete and natural record of a child's
inner life before. Harper Bros, publish
