OF his political faith this year, re-
marked: "If anybody should hap

Lofty ideals are Of the high

Lofty ideals are of the highest
importance. Men work to little
purpose without ideals, and to the
best purpose when the ideal IS
highest. We should follow nature
and common sense in education ~
we do in other callings. We should
teach not only to give knowledge
but also to train the intellectual
powers and cultivate the moral
nature Education is development,
discipline, waking up Of mind.
growth OF mind, inspiring thirst
for knowledge. A completely
educated man is not alone the
gladiator, a scholar or good man,
but a well-balanced combination Of
the three. Education is for char
acter building, for aiding nature in
the development Of the physical.
intellectual and moral faculties Of
man, in view Of his happiness and
social destinations. A liberal edu-
cation is valuable for any Vocation
to make capable of appreciating
and enjoying science, nature, art,

This i. abou, the season

This is about the season of the
year when the dull chrysalis Of the
curbstone orator cracks into shining
wings and he comes forth to prate
of the beauties Of free silver and
more fusion--for the benefit Of the
democratic party. Nothing makes
any difference to him-except sill
yer. Although our state institu-
tions may be closed through the
neglect and incompetency Of q
fusion legislature elected on the
silver issue. the people are justified
in having made the sacrifice for the
sake Of an alleged vital principle.
In all the discussions that have
taken place in regard to the states
revenue deficit, We have not yet
heard free silver mentioned as q
panacea for our financial ills. II
