MILLIONS REPRESENTED.
Manufacturer Holding Their Third Annual
Convention.

New York, January 25.-Capita.
to a total of over $1,000, ooO, 900, in.
vested in manufacturing and CONNER
cial industries throughout the country,
was represented this morning in the
Masonic temple when Hon. Theodore
G. Search, of Philadelphia, called to
order the third annua. convention OF
the national association of manufactur-
ers. The roll call developed the fact
that every state and territory was re.
presented, and that with hardly an
exception all the gigantic iron, pack.
ing, manufacturing and other plants,
east, west and south, as well as the
big ship-yards, had their delegates in
attendance. In his annual address.
President Search dwelt upon the neccs.
sity Of increasing American trade with
foreign countries, which is the princi.
pal object of the association, and told
what the association had done ia this
direction during the past year. He
made a strong plea for a reform of the
consular service, to the end that con-
sular representatives should be selected
for their ability and fitness TO
make such reports as would aid in the
development of American trade abroad.
and insisted that Ia this trade had
largely suffered by reason CT the fact
that coDsuls were appointed for politi-
cal purposes solely, rather than from
their interest in the advancement OF
their own country. The speaker in
sisted that the government should
establish a department Of commerce
and industry. that the Improvement Of
internal waterways should be vigorous.
ly taken up by the government, and
that the uniform bankruptcy law should
be stringentIy enforced. Stress was
also laid upen the advantages OF
establishing sample warehouses in
South America for the display of
American productions. Rudolph
the director of the Caracas /
10 Venezuela, was presented
10 the convention to report upon the
progress of the associations work in
hat country.

RAILWAY DEATH ACCIDENTS.

Under its railway column Tx
OPTIc, to-day, epitomises the article
of President Ripley, Of the Santa Fe,
giving the number of deaths, in 1896,
connected with the railway traffic.
1t is matter OF agreeable surprise
that the number was not greater; but
as the Pittsburg Dispatch very justly
says, the point is not how few were
killed but whether the number killed
was greater than necessity demanded.
The Dispatch says:
The thing to be considered, 10 this con-
nection, is whether the proportion Of acct
dents is greater than it should be and
upon this point all disiIterested authori.
ties agree that 1t Is.
The law requiring railroads to equip
their cars with automatic couplers, train
brakes and side rails recognizes the undue
dangers besetting railroad employees and
provides the remedy for the chief causes
of them. At the same time it exempliies
the kind of control the government should
exercise over the railroads, in contrast
with the impractical theory of govern
ment ownership. The1only trouble with 1t
is that it has not been enforced with sufi-
cient vigor to secure the best results, and
1t may readily lie suspected that Mr.. Rip
ley's road is among the delinquents which
have been treated with too much leniency.

NOT THE RIGHT COURSE.

1t fs difficult 10 see that the republi.
can control in the Ohio legislature has
put itself in a favorable light before
the public by its course regarding the
investigation of the bribery charges.
ANY party with a sense of what is due
TO public integrity should see that such
charges, once definitely made, can
only be met by full Investigation.
Instead OF taking that honorable
course. the legislature has put things
10 the following very questionable
position. The senate has constituted
a committee before which oil the wit
nesses summoned refuse to testify, on
the ground that the house alone has
jurisdiction. The house has also ap-
pointed q committee, which does moth
ing, on the plea that it has no money
to pay q stenographer. Il would be
easy for the house to overcome that
diff culty f; but there seems to be a de-
cided disposition to omit that neces-
sary action, in the hope that, between
pillar and post, the matter may drop
out OF sight.
This is not the prnror ouurso, either
in the public interest or for that OF
Senator Hanna. II Senator Hanna
has been guilty of buying votes, be
should suffer the penalty. II he is in
nocent, he should be vindlcated by
public proof Of the falsity Of the
charge. To dodge and smother the
charges after they have reached this
stage, is only to confirm public that
the matter will not bear investigation.

The "Father Of American Education Is
Elghty-Seven.

Hartford, Conn, January "a
Henry Barnard, who is known TO
educational circles the world over
as the "father Of American education,"
is eighty seven years old to-day, and
the event was celebrated this afternoon
with appropriate exercises at the state
house followed by q banquet. There
we're a host OF callers at the Barnard
homestead and many congratulations
also came by mail and wire.
No living man has done more for
education 10 the United States than DR..
Barnard. He has been responsible
for many OF the reforms that have been
instituted in educational methods 10
the states, and also for the organization
OF the national department OF educa-
ton, which has been Of incalculable
benefit to theseducators Of the United
States. The Improvement OF the public
schools has been his life work. He
began his educational career while a
member of the Connecticut legislature,
from 1887 to 1910. During his term
OF ser rice he advocated many reforms
in the common school system. In
1912 and 1843 he visited, in the inter-
ests of education, every state In the
union except Texas, and spoke before
seventeen legislatures. The greatest
claim Of Dr.. Barnard tot fame, thow-
ever, is that he brought about the
organization of the department of
education. Before 1867 the United
States government had no concern
with the education Of the people. DR..
Barnard had some years before, begun
the agitation for a national bureau of
education, and 10 1867 James A. Gar
field, then a member of congress. in
troduced a bill which he succeeded in
passing largely through the efforts OF
DIR. Barnard. President johnson APP
pointed DR.. Barnard commissioner Of
education under the provisions Of the
new law. DR.. Barnard began writing
on educational topics as early as the
year 1866, when he commenced the
publication of the american Journal
of Education. He also published
a number of works on
educational subjects, and in 1886
issued a collected edition of his works
under the name Of "The American
library of schools and education" DR..
Barnard has seen and known all the
presidents Of the United States, except
Washington, John Adams and Jcf-
ferson. DR.. Barnard graduated from
Yale in 1880. He is still vigorous in
mind and body. His love for children
is pronounced and manifested itself
years ago in the interest he took 10 the
Froebel kindergarten system. The
sole American representative at the
educational congress in London in
1854, DR.. Barnard returned deeply i'm.
bued with the kindergarten idea. In
1857 he published an exhaustive article
in an American journal on "Froebel's
system Of infant gardens" From then
on he worked hard to popularize the
kindergarten system.
