flowers and blossoms, the dewdrops
or playthings of earth. Yet "o1
such is the kingdom of heaven. u
The Kingdom of Heaven! with all
its principalities and powers, its
hierarchies, Nominations, thrones
The Saviour understood them bet
ter; to him their true dignity was
revealed! Flowers! They are the
flowers Of the invisible world; in
destructible, self-perpetuating flow
ers, each with a multitude of angels
and evil spirits underneath its
leaves, toiing and wrestling for
dominion over it!
Blossoms! They are the BIOS
SONS of another world, whose
fruitage is angels and archangels.
Or dewdrops! They are dewdrops
that have their source, not in the
chambers of the earth, nor among
the vapors of the sky, which the
next breath of wind or the next
flash of sunshine may dry up for
ever, but among the everlasting
fountains and inexhaustible reser-
voirs of mercy and love. Play
things! If the little creatures would
but appear to US in their true shape
for a moment! We should fall upon
our faces before them, or grow
pale with CONSERVATION, or fling
them off with horror and loathing.
Now to me there is no study half
so delightful as that of these little
creatures, with hearts fresh from
the gardens of the sky, in their
first and fairest and most uninten-
tional disclosures, while they are
indeed a mystery,-a fragrant,
luminous, and beautiful mystery!
Then why not pursue the study
for yourself! The subjects are
always before you. No books are
needed, no costly drawings, no
lectures, neither transparencies,
nor illustrations. Your specimens
are all about you. They come and
60 at your bidding. They are not
to be hunted for along the edge of
a precipice, on the borders of the
wilderness, in the desert, nor by
the seashore. They abound, not
in the uninhabited or unvisited
place, but in your dwelling-houses,
about the steps of your doors, in
every street of every village, in
every green field, and every crowd
ed thoroughfare.-John Neal.

Why the Peoples Party Does Not Grow.

Why is it that the Peoples Party
has not gone forward with rapid
growth as an organizationg The
answer is, that this is exactly what
would have happened if both the
old parties had continued to occupy
the position-which was practically
the same position-they occupied in
1892 and 1894. The growth of the
Peoples Party and its principles
was making such rapid strides that
the Democratic party in its national
convention at Chicago, in 1896 was
forced by the rank and file of its
party-which had been aroused to
the true situation by the campaign
Of education carried on by the
Peoples Party-to retreat from
Clevelandism and take long step
toward the principles Of jefferson,
jackson and Lincoln. 1t was not
only the Democratic platform of
1896, but probably more than the
platform, the candidate for presi-
dent, his sterling integrity, what he
stood for, and the faith of the peo-
pie in him, that temporarily checked
the growth Of the Peoples Party
as an organization.
Those in the Democratic party
who were convinced that the Peo-
ple's Party platform was right, or,
at least, nearer so than that of their
own party, and who were ready to
join the Peoples Party stopped to
await future developments. At the
same time, that considerable element
of the rank and file of the Republi
can party which was convinced to
the same effect proceeded to form a
separate organization Of their own,
known as the Silver Republican
party. So the half-million votes
that to-day make up the Silver
Republican party, and the three or
four million voters who are still in
the Democratic party, but who
were ready to join the Peoples
Party and who really forced the
adoption of the Chicago platform,
would to-day be in the Peoples
Party had the Chicago convention
of 1896 re-adopted the Democratic
platform Of 1892. So it will be
seen that never have the principles
Of the Peoples Party made more
rapid strides than during the pc
riod from 1894 to 1898; though the
party, as an organization, has been
practically at standstill for the
reasons above stated.-Marion But
ler, in The Forum.

Practical Politics and the Business Man

Mr.. Charles Janvier of New Or,
leans, in declining a Legislative
nomination in that city a few days
ago, said:
While feel that it is incumbent
upon every citizen to take an active
part in practical politics, and to
devote to the public interest some
of that time which is frittered away
in pro6tless employment, or in the
denunciation of politics and of
politicians, at the same time l do
not think that any man should be
expected to make such sacrifices
for the public good as might seri-
ously endanger his personal inter-
ests upon which depend the welfare
of those whom Providence has in
trusted to his care.
1t is to be regretted that the I'M
portance of taking an active hand
in practical politics is not appre-
ciated as it should be by our busi-
ness men, for it should be con-
stantly borne in mind that the peace
and prosperity of the community
depend upon good government, that
good governmet depends upon clean
politics, and that politics cannot be
clean if the clean members of the
community abstain from taking an
active share in the caucus, in the
primary, in the campaign and in
the election. Every man who loves
his country-every man who has a
just appreciation of his obligations
to his fellow-men; every man who
has something worth protecting !;
every man who has children to
raise and to educate-should be a
politician in the highest and best
sense of the term.
But unfortunately, it seems to
have become the fashion in some
circles to regard the term as one of
reproach, and in consequence many
are deferred from the performance
of those duties which every honest
citizen should perform, simply from
fear of being sneeringly referred
to as politicians.
Men are but children Of a large
growth, and those who make a
business of practical politics form
no exception to the rule. What
would be thought Of that parent
who would take no hand in the
training of his child, but turn it
adrift to shift and acquire such
education as it might pick up, and
then blame and censure its short
comings and defectsi

We have been in cordial indorse-
ment of all that our contemporary,
the Times-Democrat, has said with
SO much pertinacity and ability
against the Trust Devil, and es-
pecially, because, we presume, of
elf-interest, has our heart warmed
to it in response to its vigorous
war against the Paper Trust, which
is a burdensome tax on every news
paper that is published in the coun-
try and on every leaf Of any book
that is printed. It is in truth a
tax upon intelligence. But right
here the question arises, is a tax on
intelligence any more wicked and
grinding, any more infamous than
than q tax upon poverty, want and
misery or upon honest toll and in
dustryi Is it any more grinding
to tax a newspaper than it is to tax
the food and clothing or the coal Of
q sewing girl, the starving widow
or the man who tolls with his
brawny hands for pitiful living
for his wife and children9
While highly applauding our
morning contemporary for its able
opposition to the Paper Trust and
feeling q glow Of affection for it al
its hot denunciations Of monopolies
in every shape, we confess that We
should be highly gratined to hear

CHARITY.
BY CHARLOTTE PERKINS STETSON.

Came two young children to their mothers shell
Zone was quite little and the other big)
And each in freedom kindly helped himself
Zone was pig.
The food WAS free, and plenty for them both,
But one was rather dull and very small
So the big smarter brother, nothing 10th,
He took it all.
At which the little fellow raised yell
Which tired the other more aesthetic ears
He gave him here a crust and there shell
To stop his tears.
He gave with pride, in manner calm and bland,
Finding the others hunger n delight;
He gave with piety-hs full left hand
Hid from his right
He gave and gave-O blessed Charity.
How sweet and beautiful thing it is,
How fine to see the big boy giving free
What is not his!

OUR MORAL RELAPSE.

Extracts from the address of William Lloyd
Garrison at the annual meeting of the Progressive
Friends, Longwood Pa, June 10.
What has brought the nation to
it's present attitudei Righteousness
does not in a night blossom into
crime. The generation has not yet
finished garnishing the sepulchers
of the reformers or building their
monuments in the public squares.
Yet this ostentatious homage to
the memory of Lincoln and aboli-
tionists is the strongest evidence
of moral relapse. When did peo-
pie drifting away from justice ever
cease to protest most loudly it's par
ticular regard for that virtuei The
truth is clear that the decadent pro-
cess has been a prolonged one.
Material growth and aims have OBJ
scured the forces ct work, swapping
the foundation of morals. So at
the touch of war the nation stood
self-revealed and astonished at its
barbaric instincts.
Students and reformers alone
have discerned and feared the
decay of public conscience and
civil virtue. Private Indifference
to official scandals cannot long CO.
exist with a republic. We have
been fitting ourselves for the yoke
and at length the tyrant has appear
ed to place it on our necks. j..
The vitality important issue is not
the substitution of the American
for the Spanish rule in the Philip
pines. It is the complete substitu-
ton of Spanish for American me-
thods of government in the United
States. The truth has forced the
partisan upholders of the govern
ment to decry the theories that are
the foundation stones of the repub-
lie. In their place bald and athe-
istic reliance upon brute force is
preached. No imperialist appeals
to the high instincts Of the people.
Temptations to their greed, vanity
and conceit are offered as sufficient
substitutes. Great individual for
tunes, q big navy, interference in
the worlds squabbles, the supre-
macy Of force, are they not Of more
value than that ridiculous abstrac-
ton of Jefferson that all men are
created equal and with certain ina
lienable rightsi Darwin has re-
placed the sage Of Monticello, and
bloody tooth and claw must push
aside the golden rule!
Like France, though we may re-
tain the features of democracy, we
must yield the spirit. The form Of
casting the ballot may soothe sus-
capabilities, but the machine must
throw the real vote, the necessities
Of the case demanding it. So say
our masters.

From La School Review.
CHILDkEN-WHAT ARE THEY?

What are children! Step to the
window with me. The streets are
full of them. YOnder school is let
loose, and here, just within reach
of our observation, are two or three
noisy little fellows, and there an
other party mastering for play.
Some are whispering together, and
plotting so loudly and so earnestly
as to attract everybody's attention,
while others are holding themselves
.aloof, with their satchels gaping
so as to betray part Of their plans
for tomorrow afternoon, or laying
their heads together in pairs for a
trip to the islands. Look at them,
weigh the question I have put to
you, and then answer it as it de-
serves to be answered :-What are
children?
To which you reply at once with
out any sort of hesitation, perhaps,
"Just as the twig is bent the trees
inclined;" or "Men are but chill
dren of a larger growth" or, per-
adventure, "The child is father Of
the man." And then perhaps you
leave, perfectly satisfied with your
self and with your answer, having
"plucked out the heart of the mys-
tery,'' and uttered, without know
ing it, a string of glorious truths.
Among the children who are now
playing together, like birds among
the blossoms of earth, haunting all
the green shadowy places thereof,
and rejoicing in the bright air,
happy and beautiful creatures, and
as changeable as happy, with eyes
brimful Of joy. and with hearts
playing upon their little faces like
sunshine upon clear waters; among
those who are now idling together
on that slope, or pursuing butter.
flies together on the edge Of that
wood, wilderness Of roses, you
would see not only the gifted and
the powerful, the wise and the elo.
quent, the ambitious and the re.
nowned, the long-lived and the
long to- e-lamented Of another age
but the wicked and the treacherous,
the liar and the thief, the aban.
doned profligate and the faithless
husband, the gambler and the
drunkard, the robber, the burglar,
the murderer, and the betrayor Of
his country. The child is father Of
the man.
Among them and that other little
troop just appearing, children with
yet happier faces and pleasanter
eyes, the blossoms Of the FUTURE
the mother Of nations,-you would
see the founders Of states and the
destroyers Of their country, the
steadfast and the weak, the judge
and the criminal, the murderer and
the executioner, the exalted and the
lowly, the unfaithful wife and the
brokenhearted husband, the proud
betrayer and his pale victim, the
the living and breathing portents
and prodigies, the embodied vir-
tues and vices Of another age and
smother world, ,-aad all playing To-

LAFAYETTE'S DEMAND FOR BETTER
SCHOOL SUPERVISION.

W AO0AA AAO" oA0 PAOSOSAAuSS
Of the last meeting of the School
Board that vacancy in the Office Of
superintendent will soon be filed.
The Office of superintendent is
one of the most--if not the most
important in the parish. The super
intendent should be the head and
front Of the educational interests in
his parish. He should be an edu-
Gated man and should enjoy the
confidence and respect of the MEM
bers Of the School Board, the
teachers and the pupils. He should
be able to shape the policy of the
board and give intelligent advice
to the directors. He should be
familiar with school work, CONVEX
SAINT with the school laws and pos
sessed of the ability and courage to
enforce these laws. If he is unable
to teach, how can he be expected
to direct those who teachi If he is
deficient how can he judge Of the
efficiency Of othersi
The director may be conscien-
tious and sensible man, but for OBJ
vious reasons he may need the
counsel Of q competent superintsn-
dent. However intelligent and
earnest the director may be he can
not be expected to do much with
out a trained and energetic leader.
In order to secure the services Of
a competent man who will give his
time and ability to the work, the
Board will have to provide q reason
able salary. We believe this addi-
tional expense can be met by the
discontinuance Of those schools
where the enrollments are too small
to justify their maintenance by the
parish. The money saved in this
manner added to the present salary
Of the superintendent will make .
fair compensation.
We believe that on account Of
certain political exigencies the i'm
portance Of the Office Of superinten-
dent has often been dwarfed. Our
schools should be divorced from
partisan politics. In the selection
Of q superintendent, his 'spull" or
lack Of sspull'' should not be con-
sidered any moro than the color OF
his hair or the size Of his big toe.
He should be selected solely be-
cause Of his ability and character.
