asd delivered short address on the
necessity OF acquiring right habits and
made plain his ideas in this regard by

The lecturer illustrated his topic by
contrasting the work of agriculture in
earlier periods and the present. Also
that of commerce, teaching, and the
requisites for the so-called learned

THE INSTITUTE
is PROGRESSING
THIS WILL BE THE LAST DAY
An Interesting and Instructive Lecture
By President Whitaker Last
Night on Expansion.

The institute met yesterday morning
at 9:9O. with Superintendent Alderman
In the chair. The discussion Of the
course Of study. as begun the day pre-
yious, was resumed after preliminary
address by the superintendent.
This talk was a kindly suggestive
one. He dwelt upon the necessity OF
administering praise TO pupils. Many
pupils are discouraged by Withholding
praise. To bring out all the good
points In a student and In the end 10
accomplish good. substantial results. a
certain amount Of welI-earned praise
l. necessary. The idea, he explained
Is TO be frank and above board with
the pupils, teach in the affirmative, not
In the negative. There is too much
negative teaching.
The teachers gave their undivided at
tention 10 the speaker. and expressed
themselves as being greatly enlight-
by the remarks made.
After this brief but pungent address
the superintendent proceeded with the
course OF study. as already mentioned
His address upon the subject was
brought under the sub-head OF Tests
for Promotion" This apparently lin
tied subject was made so alive by II
lustrations and unexpected and forcible
class plans that II assumed new mean
ing to those present.
The speaker concluded by exhorting
the teachers TO teach so that the pupils
viii be able to do their own work and
by using the arithmetic class for an
example gave very lucid exposition Of
this theme.

In Darkest Missouri.

Two special Congress elections to fill
vacancies in two districts Of Louisiana and
Missouri, respectively, were held on Tues
day and both were carried by the Democrats
rs a matter of course the two districts
having been carried by them at the regu-
lar election last November and in the
general election OF November, 1896.
In the making up OF the Bland district
in Missouri thirteen counties of the heart
OF tho State, mpcrviOus to "Outside nflu-
ences were put together 1t is in a region
which is always "aGin the Government I"
when the Government is Republican, what
ever the issue. Mr.. BLAND was not a Mis-
sourian, but native of Tennessee, and he
cast his first vote in Virginia City, Nevada
where he was engaged in mining opera
tons. When he came to Missouri the voters
of the neighborhood to which he moved
were Internationally opposed to the Repub-
licans without regard to any question Of
ratio OF the coinage or any other pos
sble issue and they elected him in 1872 to
represent them in Congress simply as a
Democrat Thus he became an eyewitness
and resoiute opponent of "the crime Of
1873" His advent was not necessary to
convert the district to opposition to the
Republican party. It was already con-
verted and not convertible by anybody to
the Republican school Of politics.
This attitude of opposition in the majority
of voters is not accidental but chronic, and
the only known occasion when It was not
successfully displayed was in 1894, when
Mr.. BLAND was defeated in tho district not
by prcpondrranrc Of votes cast against
the principles he favored, but because in
that contest there happened to be two
Democratic candidates, one Of them nomi-
nally Populist, whose vote was large
enough to elect the Republican.
The Democratic voters of the Eighth Mis-
souri, district are Of their old way of think
ing. They are constitutionally opposed to
oil Republican plans and purposes ire
spective Of their merit and efficacy. and
whether they are foreign or domestic.
They did not vote against expansion; thew
voted against the Republican party. They
would have done the same II it had been
against expansion and the Democratic
party for it.
Missouri Ia a sure Democratic State and
this special election in the Eighth district
merely illustrates that fact anew. It's
electoral votes will go to BRYAN in 1900.

battery OF the Kearsarge consists OF four g.
inch and four S-inch guns, that OF the Ala
bama, in place OF tho s-inch guns, has four
teen e-inch, these latter mounted in spon-
sons on the easement deck. But the greatest
novelty OF the Kearsnrge, difIcrentiating
her from every othor vessel not only In our
navy but in the world, except her sister
ship, the kentucky, is that her S-inch guns
arc mounted in turrets on top OF the
turrets Of the 13-inch guns.
II is this last feature which will make
the trial Of the Kearsarge even more inter-
estng than that Of the Alabama. The
latter possesses certain novelties OF her
own, notably that OF elliptcal turrets in
place OF the cylindrical used on the Kear-
sarge and our other vessels. In her side
armor, also, she differs a little from the
Kearsarge, It's maximum being increased
to 1917 inches, while a popularity appeal
ing more to the eye is that her two smoke
stacks are placed abreast, instead OF one
behind the other. But without going into
other details Of difference, small or great,
it remains evident that the superposed tur-
ret Of the Kcarsarge is the distinctive fea-
ture Of that ship, and furnishes the chief
trtIltHt 'oT SUtCuidJlOH dS W Jue TtbuiJ VI
her trial
The general theory OF the two-story tur-
ret, while sharply opposed by some naval
officers. has been most warmly advocated
by others whose reputation as experts Is OF
the very highest. In the coming sea trials,
however, the question Immediately to be
studied is not that Of the firing Of the guns,
but Of the stability and trim Of the ship.
For it is evident that the general theory Of
the superposed turret might be all right,
with it's advantages all that have ever been
set forth, and yet, il it were not placed in it's
proper position, there might be trouble.
Hence great attention will be paid to the
disclosures Of the trial on this point.
The wonderful changes in naval warfare
are typltied once more in comparing these
tremendous battleships with the two vessels
that fought Off Cherbourg thirty-fve years
ago. 1t is true that those old rivals were
cruisers, and that even then we had iron
ships, and we also had smooth-bore guns Of
a considerable calibre; but the heaviest
pieces which WINsLow employed in sinking
his adversary, and the heaviest carried on
any Of the old-time monitors, to say
nothing Of the extraordinary advance in
nrmor, are dwarfed by the 13-inch rifles Of
the Alabama and Kearsarge Of to-day.
