From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

The old saying Is right. 1t Is not wise to
swap horses while crossing stream. We
doubt II anything in Mr.. Bryans record
will cost him as much as a transformation
Of attitude that Is explainable only by at
triburing to him personal and political in
sincerity. All the loss that the silver issue
could bring to him he had already suf-
fered. He Is the embodiment of the idea
He cannot now persuade any friend Of hon
est money that he is safe on the financial
question. But few people who were pre-
pared to overlook that because they be-
lieved him too earnest to trifle with his own
convictions will be repealed by this extra
ordinary change Of front. And the hosts
of the silver people themselves. seeing the
withdrawal Of Towne and the abandon
ment by Bryan of his fixed idea, will won
der where they come in.

John j. Ingalls,,

| Mr.. Ingalls, was the first and re-
manned the most distinguished, victim of
! populism. The new dispensation had Its
| origin in Kansas. and the shouting and
| singing squads of men and women who
threw the state into political chaos marked
| MIN Tor slaughter. They complained that
ne was not friend of silver. although he
| had voted for all the legislation of his
party which had benefited silver. They
! complained that he carried himself as II he
felt he had outgrown Kansas; that he gave
too little attention to the affairs of the
state; that he spent more time preparing
| orations than in securing jobs for his con-
st1tuents Their assertion was that they
wanted less snowy and more serviceable
man in the upper house of Congress-one
who would give his time exclusively to
local affairs
At this time Mr.. ingalls, was recognized
as the most brilliant man in the Senate.
He had been for eighteen years a member
of the body, had served as its President
pro tenn, was effective alike both in the
chair and on the floor and was thoroughly
familiar with all the details of legislative
| business The announcement of the day
when he would speak filled the galleries to
overlooking and all but emptied the House
when the time arrived. He was a star of
the first magnitude. and Kansas through
him enjoyed such distinction as never be-
fore since
But the populst influences turned him
out and closed his political career. They
likewise turned Kansas upside down and
struck at nearly everything that was
tablished At the end of ten years we find
what? Populism all but extnguished in
Kansas. The most influential of the lead
ers are back IN the republican party, and
working this year for republican success.
The man who succeeded Mr.. Ingalls, in the
Senate Is advocating the election of Mr..
Mckinley and accepts the Philadelphia
platform. And the republican party today
represents nothing for which the populists
have ever commended, and on the money
question is still further removed from their
contentious than it was in 1880, when Mr..
Ingalls, overthrown.
All of this however has come too late for
Mr.. ingalls,, or the country through him. to
benefit. He has died before he could be
returned to office by a repentant constitu
eTcy. But the people at large realize and
probably the people of Kansas in particular
do that his enforced retirement from public
lii. while he was still in the meridian of his
brilliant powers useless and most
unjust sacrifice.

One Obstacle to the Canal Gone.
Irotr, thu phlla duII,hla PraSa

The death of G. Z. Huntington will re-
move one obstacle to the construction of
the Nicaragua canal. Because Of his Pa
ci1c railroad interests. which he msguid-
eddy thought would be injured by a canal,
he exerted a powerful influence against
the construction of one. He has had en-
plOyed for years a former chief of statis-
tics in the Treasury Department to write
and lecture against the canal. and he ex-
pended large sums In that kind of work.
But his successors are not likely to waste
money in the foolish attempt to stop the
construction of a canal that would be a
benefit to the entire nation, the Pacific
railroads included.

Praise, Not Blame.

There Is no more valuable ally for
mother and teacher than judiciously
bestowed praise.
1t is no wonder many children give
up trying to be good, for they are so
frequently told that they are bad, It is
but natural that they should believe It.
If we wish to encourage and help the
young people to be good we should try
under all circumstances to hold to the
idea that they are at heart anxious to
please us. In that frame of mind we
can easily remember that a misdeei

want Of heart"
A professor, whose success with
young people was great, once stated
that he made it point never to blame
or scold student. When his pupils
did wrong he praised them for their
previous occasions when their work or
behavior had been satisfactory, and
expressed surprise and disappointment
that they had fallen below the stand
ard on the present occasion. The re-
suit was that the pupils were soon so
attached to their professor that they
were most anxious to merit his I'M
qualified praise on every occasion.
A few trials of this method would
convince any one that it is always
wiser to praise than to blame.
