PRINCIPLE OR WEAKNESS.

The exact language of Washington,
Hamilton. Lincoln and Blaine does not
seem to please our morning conten-
porary. 1t refuses to believe that these
eminent statesmen meant what they
said. and every time reference is made
TO their opinions the Republican organ
finds it necessary to explain what
Washington would do. if he were Nc
Kinley. what Hamilton would do if he
were Lyman Gage, and what Lincoln
would say If he were Mark Hanna
For century and a quarter the
judgment of Washington and Hamil-
ton stood; the utterances of their con-
temporaries were respected; the truths
of the Declaration of independence
were unquestioned, and the federal con-
stitution was considered big enough
and broad enough for our government
But look, Presto. changei Mark Hanna
rose from obscurity and grasped the
tiller of the ship of state. 1t was sud
denly discovered that the English form
of government is best; that the Eng
iish system of finances is the model;
Chat the English policy of conquest is
the path TO national glory; that the
English colonial system conforms TO
our new code of morality; that the
Declaration of independence is an OBJ
solete document; that its siSners were
lnSssbacks and fogies who couldn't live
in the imperial atmosphere of today;
rhat the country has outgrown the
constitution, and that large standing
armies are as essential to the welfare
of this republic as they are to the re-
public of France. All these things have
been discovered by Republicans and
by Republican organs since Mark as
stunned control.
Washington and Hamilton are now
pictured as conquistadors who had the
inclination but not the opportunity, who
were selfish and ambitious and failed
10 cross the seas TO subjugate weaker
peoples only because they did not dare
to-because their power was young and
weak, which, had it been grown and
strong. would have done the things that
they decried and deplored.
It is an insult to these men to claim
that they were sincere in their declara-
tions. says the local Republican organ,
which adds:
But that those stalwarts who always
looked out for the main chance who in
public and private life insisted upon hav-
ing their full share. both personally and
for their country. 10 imagine them adj

It is an insult TO their august men,
cries to believe they were speaking
from principle and not from weakness,

VICE PRESIDENT HOBART.

After a lingering disease of many
months Vice President Hobart is dead
The voice of partisanism is hushed
when his name is spoken. The whole
nation pays its respects to the honored
dead.
Garrett A. Hobart was not a great
man. His influence had never been felt
outside of his home state before his
nomination three years. ago. Little at
tention was paid to him in the cam
paign which followed. But members Of
the senate and all who came in con-
tact with him after his election We're
soon convinced that he was man of
many sterling qualities.
As a rule vice presidents do not ex-
ercise a very potent control over the
body of which they are only ex-officio
members. It is an unusual thing for
them to make any impression on con-
gress. They have been figureheads
with but few exceptions. One of the
most notable of these was Thomas a.
Hendricks. whose popularity in the
senate was already well established
before he was elected to preside over
it's deliberations Mr.. Hobart did not
possess this advantage, however. Yet
he overcame the prejudice accorded
vice presidents by tradition and habit.
Without any apparent effort he soon
impressed all with whom he has been
thrown into association in the senate
with his judgment and wisdom in re-
spect to all public. and party ques-
lions.
1t was not long before he was sought
by leaders of his party and counted a
factor by leaders of the opposition. His
was a positive influence in the senate,
and won the respect of Republicans,
Democrats and Populists alike. His
own party men came to admire him for
his judgment, and those of the other
parties to respect him for his fairness.
Therefore. no man in his position since
ColfaX, for Hendricks had an adverse
majority to work with, has had as
much influence In addition to this So
cial qualities made him popular and
enabled him.to give to his office a con-
sequence which it has seldom enjoyed
in the opinion of senators. Therefore,
the loss of a man who has made such
an impression upon congress is bound
10 be a severe shock to the govern
ment.

When the god married he became
human. Former worshipers began to
treat him with great familiarity. He
was subjected TO the petty annoyances
from which ordinary mortals suffer at
times. He was even threatened with
law suits and pestered by bill collect
ors. Some of his fellow countrymen
were heard TO say that IL he were less
extravagant in his personal appearance
he would have more money for his cred
itors. There were others who regarded
with contempt or Indifference the,words
they had eagerly devoured before. His
opinions were no longer the wisdom of a

Reading should not be continued
when the mind is fatigued. For the
majority of persons this advice is un-
necessary. Apart from novel reading,
there is not much excessive attention
TO good literature. Intellectual idle
ness is one OF the most prevalent dis.
eases of the day. Some persons dream
away two-thirds of life. Indolent senti-
me1t satisfies the multitude. rather
than the storm and battle of life. The
star of hope above does not guide as
many as would be desirable. At the
same time, it must be acknowledged
that some young women are unmind-
full of health in their laudable efforts
10 gain knowledge When the mind is
exhausted books should be laid aside
To rob the mind or body of rest brings
it's inevitable penalty. Great readers
should be great thinkers. Intelligent
thought demands that the brain have
time TO recuperate.

II. ARITHMETIC OF THE OFFICE
To<co-, No 1-prnnorti0n


1t is taken for granted in these les
sons that the student understands the
elementary rules of arithmetic, inciud-
ing fractions.
The subject of proportion as it is
generally set forth in arithmetic is best
explained by Illustrations:
Example A. If I yards of cloth cost
63 cents, find the cost of II yards.
If yards cost 60 cents l yard will
cost 63-:-7, of 8 cents, and II yards Will
cost 12X9, or s1.0S. Now Z bears the
same relation (ratio} to u that 63 does
to los. These two ratios. when placed
together, are called proportion:
Z IS :: u los
Z: H.: 63 los
Here we have two proportions. The
Z yards bears the same ratio to its price
that the II yards bears TO its price, anc
the yards bears the same relation to
the u yards that the price in one IN
stance bears to the price in the other.
Example B. If men can do piece
of work in II days, in how many days
can men do the work?
If 8 men can do the work in II days l
man can do the work in 5X12, or so
days, and men can do it in one-sixth
of the time, or 10 days
Example c. If 2T1a yards of cloth
cost s1O23, what will S2i5 yards cost?

HARD TO GET.
The Girls Were Learning to Make
Hair Flowers and They
Wanted White.

A venerable white-haired clergyman re-
Gently preached in the church of friend.
He had hardly got back to the vicarage
from the church when the door bell rang
and a young lady asked to see him. He re-
ceived her. They talked about the sermon
and other things, until finally she asked,
efficiently:
"Oh, won't you please give me lock of
Certainly, my child" said the old gentle
man, aattered at the request. 'I'll send it
to you tomorrow" And he did.
On his return to his own home he had
five more requests of the same kind, and
he proudly boosted to his wife that he was
glad to see that he had not yet lost his
power to please. All went well until his
wife received this note:
dear Mrs. Fourthly: Won't you please
ask your husband to send me just little
lock of his hair? We have all been taking
lessons in making hair flowers. So many of
the other girls asked him, and he sent it to
them, that thought would rather ask
you to get it for me. Won't you please do
this for me. It is so hard to get white hair
for lilies of the valley"
This was terrible blow, and the less
now said about locks of hair in that old
gentleman's presence the better-Cincin-
