public sentiment that while two

would have attracted so much

rency bill seems to be in a fair
way to slip through without
much notice. The main features
OF the House and Senate bill are
substantially the same, the prin-
cipal difference being that the
Senate bill provides for a much
larger gold reserve. In general,
the substance of both bills may be
summarized as. follows: \ That
the standard unit of valne. shall
as now, be the dollar, and shall
consist of twenty-five and eight
tenths grains Of gold, nine-teaths
fine, Or twenty-three and twenty
two one undredths grains of
pure gold. This is followed by
provisions :, for maintaining the
parity of all classes Of United
States money, In order to do
this a reserve in gold equal TO IS
per cent of all outstanding green
backs and treasury notes is pro-
'vided, which is absolutely pre-
;tected from all drafts on any ac-
count whatsoever except redemp-
ton purposes. Furthermore the
Secretary Of the Treasury is .au-
.thorized to sell gold bonds when

'changeability of any other form

Feature is that any monies in the

redemption fund. Provision IS
also made for the establishment
of National Banks on capital of
$4,000 and the issuance Of notes

States bonds on deposit to secure
circulation. Upon the whole the

regard the repulse as the most
serious defeat British arms have
yet sustained in the whole cam
paign. Already the official adj
vices show that two men were
killed, nine officers and seventeen
men were wounGed and nine of
ficers and 500 men are missing.
; But it is evident that the worst
is not yet known. The proper
ton of wounded and killed is so
small when compared with the
missing-who are undoubtedly
prisoners in the hands of the

feared that there were serious

ence on the part of the teacher is
necessary The pupils even in
the lowest grades, show a won
derful aptitude for self-govern-
ment when once they realize that
responsibility devolves on Them
selves. Tits needless to go, into
this subject at length because a.
hint will suggest its importance
and possibilities to the intelligent
educator.
The last few weeks have been
notable ones in the industrial
world speaking particularly Of
our own country. There has
been an exceptional lifting Of
wages in nearly every depart
ment Of manufacture. OF course
the Democratic press does not
! give prominence to this fact be-
cause every wave of prosperity
drives additional nails into the
Democratic coffin. We cite a
few cases as indicating the gem.
eral trend: The Amoskeag Cor
poration of Manchester, .Massa-
chusetts, announces a raise of 10
per cent for its 5000 employees;
the Armory & Stark Manufac-
turing companies, raise of 10
per cent for $500 employees; the
China, Webster and Pembroke
Mills of New Hampshire, a 10
per cent raise for 1900 employees;
the Manchester IN. H. COM
pany follow with 10 per cent
raise for $1,000 wage workers;
from Lewiston, Maine, comes the
announcement of a 10 per cent
raise for 5000 workmen. In
short there has been a 10 per
cent advance in wages in practic-
ally all of the New England mills
affecting several hundred thous-
and people. The upward ten
dency of wages is a most crafty
ing feature of the industrial stu.
alton and as it is noticeable in ev-
cry department of manufacture il
shows clearly the remarkable
prosperity Of the country. In
telligent men and women will
consider we'll before casting a
vote to. disturb the present happy
conditions.
1t is indeed gratifying to read
the comment of the Cuban press
!. on the Presidents message
Even those papers which hav,
been rabidly denunciatory Of the
Administration at Washington are
compelled to swallow their own
: bitter reproaches and utter words
} of praise. This is wrung from
! General Collazo's paper, the bit
! terest of them all:
The Message will pacify III,

in'ahy contest they would be Goe-
bells ready tools, and there Isl no
question but that Mr.. Goebetliad
fairly satisfied himself on. that
point. GoeBef, cunning rascal
that he is, seems to have been
unfortunate in his selections.
Two of the commissioners refused
to do his dirty work and the con-
sequence is that the honor Of
Kentucky has been saved. The
fpressure on the commissioners
must have been something terrific.
They knew in their hearts tliat

if they decided against it; yet
those men firmly and calmly faced
the situation and unflinchingly did
the thing their conscience told
them was right. They found
that the Republican candidate had
received a plurality of Z ,383 votes
and thereupon declared him duly
elected. Thus ends the Kentucky
controversy unless Mr.. GoebeI
concludes to renew the fight in
the State Legislature.
The "School City" IS a COM
paratively new educational idea,
or rather putting it into actual
practice is comparatively a. a new
thing Educators have long
since realized that the study and
practice of self-goyernment was
one of the essentials in the pro-
duction of good citizens, and the
higher schools for many years
have had classes in civil govern
ment, sociology and related sub
jects. But in general the results
have not been satisfactory, be-
cause (first) the studies were
taken up too late and (second)
produced theorists rather than
practical citizens. 1t is now aim
