Imperialism AS Viewed by Hryan, Cieve-
land aud Carnegie.
Atlanta, Ga, Feb. o-The semi.weekly
Journal, an agricultural paper run in con
nection with the Atlanta Journal by Hon
Hoke Smith, will in this weeks issue
publish views On the Philippine question
from ex-President Cleveland, Hon. w
J. Bryan and Andrew Carnegie.
Mr.. Cleveland says:
"If there is anything that can arrest
the attention or challenge the thought OF
our people in their mad rush toward
yawning disaster, It is more likely to be
the earnest, well founded and patriotic
warnings of the decent press than any
thing else. Yours truly,
"GROvER CLEVELAND"
Mr.. Bryan says:
Il have confidence that the American
people, when they have a chance to
speak. will reject Imperialism and mill
tarism and remain true to the doctrine oi
sef-government.
(Slgned.) "W. J. BRYAN"
In expressing his views, Mr.. Carnegie
says:
"The influence of superior race upon
an inferior race IN the tropics is injurious,
demorallzing and never elevating.
"ImpefiaIism is the craze of the hour.
Thorough Americanism, such as the
South now stands for. is for all time.
81 congratulate the South upon its ad-
herence to the principles Of Washington
and Jefferson, which are bound to prevail.

President Mckinley Will Insist on Passage
of Army Bill.

of Army Bill.
Washington, D. C., Feb. Io-The Post
said today:
"The army reorganization bill must
pass or the president will call an ext a
session Of congress.
"The opposition to the bill in the sen
ate has already been frequently referred
to in the Post and the prediction made
that some compromise would be ag &c d
upon whereby legislation of a temporary
character would be placed upon the
army appropriation bill. This will no,
satisfy the administration. No make.
shift expedient will be accepted. The
president has determined that the pass
age of the army bill shall be made an
issue, and there is no doubt in admIni--
tratlon circles tnat he will be successful
IT. however, any obstacle should prevent
action, an extra session will surely be
held.
The conditions which have arisen
leave no other course to be pursued by
the president A decision was yesterda,
rendered by the attorney general to the
effect that as soon as the ratifcations of
the peace treaty are exchanged the vol
unteers can no longer be retained in
service. This is also true, the attorney
general holds, of the additional regulars
who were enlisted for the war with Spain.
Conse quently, without the desired legs

with an army reduced from $1,000 to 25,.

the way, Is very pretty child and
gives promise of developing into a
beautiful young woman. She is the
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ole
rich. Her father was recently super
lntendent of the public schools of Lake
City, but he gave up the post for the
purpose of devoting himself to the
work Of writing a treatise on educa-
ton.
When Viola was one year and eleven
months and twenty-five days old she
passed an examination before two com
petent teachers. At that time the child
knew not less than 5000 substantives.
1t Is probable that the vocab, larry of
this baby was at that time much larger
than that of the ordinary man. Her
father says that Viola knows more
nouns than the average adult knows
words. The unusual precocity of the
child was nurtured and developed by
the parents, and when she once began
to learn she learned so rapidly that
her natural guardians were scarce able
to keep pace with her.
Records of the chlld's work were
kept by her parents and are very inter
esting. There Is first a scrapbook in
which are pasted the pictures Of LOO
various objects. Viola can tell the
name of any of these objects by look
Ing at the picture. In separate book
is kept a record of the names of the
objects the pictures Of which are past
ed In the scrapboOk. Viola calls the
scrapbook the picture book" She
readily recognizes all the pictures in
the book, and cannot only do this but
is also able to read a number of simple
sentences.
Her education has been conducted on
the sentence method" or the syn
thetic rather than the analytical sys-
tenn of teaching. The results have
been most marvellous. The child can
understand things which do not come
into the mind ordinarily until the age
of fifteen or sixteen has been reached.
Mr.. Olerich's theory of teaching Is
what he calls the natural method" 1t
rests on three principles, which he de
scribes as follows:
1. To awaken keen interest for ed
ucational work by the use Of attractive
MISUNDERSTANDING for the child.
?. To treat the child at all times
with the greatest of kindness and
3. All the educational works of the
child should be an interesting game of
play purely voluntary. No element of
coercion or even undue solicitation
should ever be Tesorted to.
"The secret of such wonderful sue
cess in the use of the natural method
Of instruction" says Mr.. Olerlch. lies
in the fact that great interest means
undivided attention, and close at.en-
ton means retention. Kind treatment
and voluntary learning continually in
crease the delight for further INQUIRY.
With all her precocity, Viola has never
studied a lesson in her life. She has
only played and she always wants
to play longer"

Imagine yourself in a country where
the Marlin and Krag-Jorgensen rifle,
the shotgun and the horse pistol are so
plentiful that they seem to line the hill
side. Try TO conceive yourself placed
In a position where you 90 to death or,
fighting from time to time like Wild
cat you win a victory without the
faintest hope Of applause. If as you
read this, protected by the law of civ
ilization, you can transport yourself to
such realm as the one just outlined,
then you may begin to have a vague
Idea Of the strenuous life that the Uni
ted States revenue agents lead when
they are assigned to raid Illicit stills in
the heart Of the Carolinas OrTennessee.
"Jim" Redmond Is one Of these
agents, and a few days ago he told a re-
porter a Few Of the things that he had
seen and done-told the story Of the
man hunt where the hunter is at the
same time the hunted. Redmond Is a
splendid type of the Kentucky gentle
man, tall, strong, 1.-THE, quick to see and
act and fearless.
The first story he told was Of Rev
enue Agent Bouldin, whose name Is a
terror to the sinners wherever he has
been, and who is impatient of city life
and the comparative ease in which the
city revenue agents find themselves.
Bouldin got information from a North
Carolinian, whose name will remain
forever unknown. 1t is death to be
found out as an infOrmer for the Gov
eminent against the operators Of Illicit
stills. The man told Bouldin where a
certain still was situated. Bouldin
knew the man in charge and went at
once to arrest him. He found the man
at the door.
81 want you," said Bouldin.
"All right" was the answer. "Wait
till get my coat"
"He went in and came out with his
coat and with a shotgun charged with
buckshot. AS he got to the door he let
fly. Bouldin saw what he was doing.
He himself was armed with a pistol,
whose caliber was in the fOrties, but
the man had the first shot So Bouldin
lifted his arm across his heart or he
would have been a dead man Instead
Of living to tell the tale, with a body
full Of shot. AS it was his arm received
fearful decorations and his breast was
riddled. After the first shot dn fact
the Sinner had discharged both barrels
