Habit of Suspicion" and signed c. D. c. AS
a teacher 1 was somewhat surprised at the
view put forth, and must say on behalf Of
myself and other teachers, l hope also. that
they are somewhat erroneous I beg to diff
fer with C. D. c.. when he says the average
teacher 'leads life of care and tear" con-
sequently making them suspicious Of all man
kind. 1t has been my experience that the
teacher has chance to study nature in all
its phases, and therefore understands more
fully than any other class the woes of SUI
fering mankind 1t is simply impracticable
for teacher to suspect their pupils of some
fault. without having foundation for doing

is generally built As far as letting roguish-

overlooking the wrong-doing that teacher

NO CONCLUSION REACHED.
House Devoted the Day to DesuItory
Discussion.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-The committee on
interstate and foreign commerce had the right
of way in the house today and succeeded in
passing quite number of bills of minor i'm
portance, most of which authorized-the con-
struction Of lighthouses, fog signals, etc.
pany subsidy of 100000 a year for twenty
years for the construction and operation of a
cable was called up and very spirited de-
bate, which consumed the remainder of the
day, followed. The opposition was headed by
Mr.. Corlss (Rep., Mich.) who advocated the
construction of a government cable. No con-
clusion was reached at the hour of adjourn
ment, and as the special order under which
the house was operating today expired with
the adjournment and as objection was made
to fixing another day for Its consideration, it
goes over Indefinitely until the committee
can get another day, or until a special
order is adopted

HObson's Hard Luck.

Now that Lieut.. Hobson is thousands
OF miles away on his voyage to the
philippines the meanest kind of things
are being said about the poor fellow.
He admitted. himself, several months
ago that the Merrimac failed to sink
at the exact point he intended that
she should go down. but he explained
the cause satisfactorily. Cervera's
f1eet came out and went down in sew
eral spots which the Spanish admiral
had not previously indicated on his
charts. But both Hobson and Cervera
were accepted as worthy heroes, not
exactly for what they really accom-
pllshed so much as for what they in
tended to do. And the world moved on!
Then Hobson insisted upon raising
the wrecked Maria Teresa, and an in
dulgent government permitted him to
proceed in his attempt. He succeeded.
She was set af1cat She encountered
hurricane. She began to fill with wa
ter and had to be abandoned. Not
withstanding his good intentions he
had failed again. The vessel was lost.
The government had expended about
half a million dollars in it's desire to
satisfy Hobson. This sum was lost,
too.
And now comes the explanation of
the cause of the calamity, and this,
paradoxically enough, is thrown back
upon poor Hobson's shoulders. The
wrecking company filled the holes in
the ships hull by the Introduction of
plaster of Paris. with strong wooden
supports on the inside. The represen-
tatives of the company now declare
that they advised a detention of about
ten days before sailing in order to give
the plaster an opportunity to harden
and thus prevent danger from washing
out by heavy seas in case of severe
storms. The Young hero was impa-
tient to get the trophy to Newport
News. He would not listen to counsels
which favored delay. The company
was overruled. The ship started. The
storms came; the trophy was lost, just
as had been predicted. and so on.
Alas, the extent to which human
envy will go! Had it not been for that
unfortunate kiss-the original Miss Ar
mold kiSs-laSt summer on the beach,
perhaps Mr.. Hobson would have been
spared all this severity of criticism.
Even that one-to the participants
sweet incident was enough to stir the
gall of any man possessed Of a proper
sense of appreciation. But when it
was supplemented by thousand more
during campaign extending from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. hostility, not
only among his fellow officers in the
navy, but among the men identified
with the wrecking company, and every
newspaper office in the country, as
we'll, was inevitable. Hobson has had
too much of a good thing. and he must
pay the penalty. But he is young and
will, if he lives. have abundant time
for escape from the shadow of envy
which now eclipses his heroic achieve
ment. Meanwhile let US all join in
wishing him better fate in the Philip
pines, where, perhaps, under the nat
ural feminine conditions prevailing
there, he will learn to be more discreet.
