Any one who wishes to obtain,
BILE with completeness, the history Of
the relations between the South Afri
can Dutch and the British Govern
ment which have eliminated in the
present war, will find it in a remark
able article contributed to the Deem
Der number of the North american
ReUieaU by the Rt. Hon. James Bryce.
Beginning with the exodus of the
Beers from Cape Colony in 1886, and
the circumstances responsible for that
event, Mr.. Bryce narrates the expert
ences of the emigrant farmers in their
sanguinary conflicts with the savage
natives and in their contests and dip
lomatic disputes with Great Britain,
to the moment when President Kruger
issued the ultimatum which precipi-
tated the hostilities now in progress.
The result of the famous raid is thus
referred to:
"The effect Of the Jameson expedi-
ton was no less mischievous in other
parts Of South Africa than in the
TransvaaI. 1t rolsed Dutch feeling,
which, as a political force, was almost
dying out in the British Colonies, into
more than its old vehemence. The
Orange Free State, which had up till
December, 1895, condemned the ex
elusive policy pursued by President
Kruger's Government, now rallied to
it's sister republic: not only from a
sense of kinship, but because it believ-
ed its own highly priced independence
to be in danger. 1t concluded a treaty
with the Transvaal by which each of
the two republics bound itself to de-
fend the other if unjustly attacked.
In Cape Colony the two political par
ties, which had latterly been divided,
by lines of economic interest rather
than by racial feeling-for the one was
the party of the agriculturists and
stock farmers, the other the CONNER
cial townsfolk-became identified
with the two races, and passion ran
high between them.'

The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1899-05-27

Hon. William Jennings Bryan is still talk
ing on the money issue and advocating the
fusion of free coinage voters, believing, Of
course. he will be nominated for President
next year.
Mr.. Bryan is over-estimating his own pop
ularity and counting too many people as tree
silverites. Fully one-third of his vote in 1896
was cast BY people who had strong misgivings
on the money plank of the platform and in
voting for him yielded loyalty to the parry
only. To this oue-third may now be added
many thousands of voters more who do not
like his attempt to master and control the
Democratic party and set up test Of loyalty.
and are disguised with his course on the rati-
fieation of the treaty Of peace with Spain.
If Mr.. Bryan should fail to receive the
Democratic nomination, as now seems proba-
bic. he will not be able to carry with him into
fusion movement any considerable number
of Democrats In such a movement he would
not draw any more votes from the party than
did the Palmer and Buckner ticket. The
free coinage Democrats will nearly all be
regular, just as the bulk of the gold standard
Democrats were in 1896.
The question of the United States remain
ing Republic, with constitution and a
President with powers limited by the consti-
tuition, will be more important one in 1900
than that of free coinage.

Practice VS.. Theory.

To Baltimore Sun reporter on Wednesday
Gov. Lowndes said
II believe that it is of the highest impor-
lance that politics should be eliminated from
the practical management ofthe public school
SYSTEM
That is the Gore,7,or's theory ,chen seeking
efice.
When Gov. Lowndes went into office the
School Board of Carroll was composed of
four Democrats and two Republicans, all eX-
perienced men in school management.
When the terms of two commissioners,
both Democrats, expired, he replaced them
with two inexperienced Republicans.
The Board was then composed of four
Republicans and two Democrats, and the new
Republican members at once endeavored to
turn out the Secretary, Treasurer and Exam
liner and Assistant Secretary, but the two
hold-over Republicans declined to vote for a
change.
The terms of two other Democrats expired.
One of these was replaced by a Republican
and one was re-appointed, and one of the
Republican Commissioners, who declined to
turn out the Examiner, became incapactated,
and in his place was put Republican who
was partisan first and school comm issioner
afterward Then the experienced Examiner
was turned out and his assistant, too.
In brief, this is the practice of Governor
Lowndes, so far as Carroll is concerned.

Modern Education.

A sad commentary upon the course IN the
educational institutions Of the United States
was the failure in English Of seventeen Of the
nineteen young men appointed cadets to the
United States Naval Academy at Annapolis.
The Young men we're no doubt well mp IN
foreign languages, base ball, foot ball, tennis
and prize fighting, but 1t Is doubtful # one OF
them knew the names and locations OF the
counties of his state; could tell the county
seats; could tell the lakes, rivers, mountains,
climate, soil or products Of his own country
could tell much about the constitution OF the
United States, or of his own state; OF the his
tory Of his own state or of the United States;
and perhaps knew very little of the lives and
character of our statesmen, poets, philoso.
pliers, philanihropisis, or military or naval he.
roes. The most Of them perhaps could neither
spell well nor write correctly.
The public schools seem to disdain the
s'three Rs. and the desire of school aaIhori 7
ties appears to be to push coward and up
ward and undertake to make the public school
course take the place Of the college or uniSer-
sity. Children are rushed along, without be-
ing well taught in spelling. reading, writing,
geography, arithmetic and State aud United
States history, and are hurried into higher
courses and languages, and are more likely 70
be made fools than intelligent citizens Mil
lions upon millions are being spent upon pub
lie education, taxed from the people. and the
results are far from satisfactory. What Is now
called progressive, IS mostly waste OF
public money. and return to the system aud
books of thirty or forty years ago will be less
expensive and more beneficial to the children.
