Congressman Hawley Wins.

Congressman HaWley won the tght
for delegate at-large from Texas in Op-
position to Z. H. r. Green. Some Of
the district delegations were given to
the Green faction, but the Hawley peO-
pie claim that taking the delegation
as it stands, they have a majority.
This probably means that Mr.. Hawley
will be chosen to represent Texas in the
national committee
The Delaware controversy between
the Addicks and Dupont factions was
temporarily shelved by the committee.
Mr. Dupont's followers were found to
be unwilling to make such concessions
as the committee would accept, and the
committee decided that there was no
course open to it which would insure
the state to the Republican party at
the fall election except TO exclude both
factions from participation in the cary
proceedings of the convention. The dis
position will have the effect of throw
ing the adjustment of the case upon
the national committee of credentials

A variety of subjects were disposed of,
and when the committee adjourned all
the contests over seats in the conven-

The Alabama case has been revived
upon an agreement between the two
factions to divide the delegation by the

SCHOOL LIFE IN ARMENIA.

Children Have to Work Harder and Do
Not Learn as Rapidly.
There are two classes of schools In
Armenia, private and public The pri-
vate schools begin at sunrise and end
at sunset. Each child brings piece
of carpet, which he places on the floor,
and upon which he sits all day until
sunset, when he carries home again his
square rug. The children supply their
own books, consequently the text
books vary from bible, prayer book
to q newspaper, and when pupil has
learned all in his own textbook he ex-
changes 1t with another student, and
so on.
AS rule, says the Boston Herald, at
the end Of the four years course the
children leave school scarcely knowing
how to read. This is not owing to the
lack of intelligence on the childrcn's
part, but the result OF the defective
system In teaching them.
The public schools are substantially
the same as those In America, with the
exception that the sexes ore taught In
separate buildings. Religious instruc-
ton is given In tho schools, the church
cs deeming it unnecessary to support
Sunday schools AS all the children
are Of one faith. there Is no religious
conflict The course of study in the
schools is very hard, because of the
different languages spoken in the sew
eral sections of the country. Even The
Russian language Is studied. In summer
the private schools are held out %

Election Figures.

The New York Herald's "mid-cam-
paign canvass" though it gives Mr..
McKinly eight electoral votes less than
than he had in 1896, is worthless on its
face. It's footings are; Mckinley,
1858; Bryan, 1853; doubtful, 81" Accom-
panying the figures is diagram which
is dalled ''map indicating the politi-
cal situation October /, 1900" 1t indi-
Gates nothing at all. "Unless condi-
cations undergo a tremendous change"
says the Herald, "the republican can
didates are reasonably certain to re-
ceive 25S electoral votes.
The Enquirer asserts, on as good in
formation as the Herald can possibly
have, that "unless conditions undergo
a tremendous change, the democratic
candidates are certain to receiyea large
majority OF the electoral vote. No
body can have perfect information at
this stage of the presidential canvass,
but nobody can arrogate monopoly OF
claiming results.
In the Herald's estimate, or guess,
Indiana is put down as one of the states
certain to go for Mckinley and Roose-
welt. In another column of the same
issue one of that valuable journals
best correspondents says of indiana
that neither side can count on it; that
something like thirty thousand uncer
tain votes at this stage of the campaign
make it impossible to say how the state
is going" The general information
coming from Indiana, from democrats,
and from well-informed republicans
who speak candidly and in private, is
that Indiana is certain democratic
state; that Bryan and stevenson have
even better assurance of a majority
there than they have in Kentucky; and
the Heralds figures concede Kentucky
to the democrats.
To get to its conclusion our New
York contemporary claims West Vir.
ginia for the republicans and takes
Kansas and five northwestern states
away from Bryan and graciously makes
a present of them to Mckinley.
Tables of the electoral vote made
early in the campaign, or even in the
middle thereof, or at any time before
the election, are usually as valueless a,
''straw votes" taken on railway trains
by irresponsible fellows who do theil
own counting.

onstration of the idleness of political
arithmetic we are bound to look witt
indifference on the work of even Sc

York Herald. 1t is to be remarked
though, that the Herald talks abou
the situation as it sees it on the LIST O.
