A LANDSLIDE FOR BRYAN.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times makes an affidavit that he had
an interview with ex-President Grover
Cleveland on the 23d day of October,
in which the latter said:
Young man, you will see landslide
for Bryan the morning after election,
of this / am confident. You do not
understand the conditions. There are
elements all over our country at which
it would be. impossible to draw into
line for Mckinley. In the first place
the Union Labor is for Bryan. OF
recent years this organization of labor
has been factor in politics and it GER
tainly is not favorable to the interests
of capital. The travelling men are
for Bryan. These men, who are a small
army, are of the opinion that the repub-
lican party is the protector of corpora
tons, and by the amalgamation of in
dustrial interests many of them have
been thrown out of employment. In
the northwest, in Minnesota, Dakota
and Iowa, there are many Hollanders.
Sympathy for the Beers, who are their
own flesh and blood, will induce them
to support Bryan. See if | am not cor
rect | have no desire to be drawn
into any controversy over the results of
the election, but if the republican man.
ayers honestly think that President
Mckinley Will be reelected, it is my
opinion that they are mistaken. They
do not know the situation"
Of course, republicans and republican
papers have published all kinds of
denials purporting to come from Gro
YER" but knowing how they are all
prone to prevaricate at this stage of the
campaign, it is pretty certain that the
interview was had with ex-President
Cleveland.
The same republicans and their
papers said that Grover Cleveland had
said he was going to vote for Mckinley.
Now it turns out that that is a
campaign lie, for the ex-president has
gone out hunting and will not return
until after election.

Those arguments that are made
that the inferior race are to be treat
ed with as much allowance as they
are capable of enjoying, that as
much is to be done for them as their
condition will allow-what are these
arguments ? They are the argu-
ments that kings have made for en-
Shaving the people in all ages of the
world. You will find that all the
arguments of kingcraft were of this
class they always bestrode the
necks of the people, not that they
wanted to do it, but because the peo-
pie were better of for being ridden.
That is their argument.
Turn in whatever way you will
whether it comes from the mouth of
a king as an excuse for enslaving
the people of his country, or from
the mouths of men of one race as
reason for enslaving the men of
another race, it is all the same old

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

A general teachers meeting was held
last Friday. Mr. Mathie addressed the
teachers on Waste in Teaching" He
showed that, just as in the world there
are four classes of people who are
using time to no good purpose, so there
are the samefypes in the school room:
those who put in their time learning
how not to study; those who have abil-
ity and do not have to work much;
those busy over nothing worth while,
and those who begin bra-ely, but quit
when they encounter difficulties. He
then illustrated how bad methods of
teaching were to blame for this to some
extent The pupil should be gaining
habits of industry; his Industry should
be effective, calling forth his highest
powers. To realize these ideals it is
necessary for us to make the pupil the
center of the school system and of the
teachers thought, and to develop self
activity in the pupil. Mr.. Mathie con-
siders self activity the only law of
growth The business of the teacher is
not so much to set the pupils right as to
set them into seif-activity. We are not
doing enough in the schools to teach
pupils the art OF studying. The teacher
should be more helpful to the pupil,
but when he helps the pupil he should
work with him and not for him. 1t is
not enough to have good order in the
school room, a good feeling of courage
and hopefulness, and good example
on the part of the teacher. In order
that our schools shall improve 1t is
necessary that the teacher give more
hereafter to the art of study
ing. The assignment of the lesson
should be definite and should show the
manner of approaching the lesson.
When the schools of America give as
much attention to the art of study as is
given in the schools of Germany our
pupils will show the anne degree of
advancement when ey reach the
same age.

A state teachers association meeting
will be held at Milwaukee, December
rs to 30. Just as in our own conven-
ton, an effort is being made to get out
more members of school boards. The
first morning win be devoted to topics
of interest to school boards. Among
the special features are: readings by
James Whitcomb Riley; lectures by
Prof. Sherman Davis, University of
Indiana, and Miss Jessie Lee Newlin of
Chicago University, a manual training
exhibit from kindergarten and state
university; a Wisconsin evening t
which addresses will be given by Gov.
Schofield, Mayor Rose, State Supt
Harvey, Senator Stout, and Ex-Gov
Peck. Some of the topics are: whether
the time has not come to reserve the
normal school for high school gradu-
ates only; the value of business edn-
cation in the high school and state
university, change in laws relating to
certification of teachers; appointment
of an inspector of graded schools; law
requiring the city superintendent to
have educational qualifications; the re-
lation of the teacher to the school
board.
Miss Wilson is at present afflicted
with the mumps. Her place is supplied
by one of the training school students.
Owing to the muddy condition of the
grounds, Amigo refused to.meet Wau-
san last Saturday.
Today, high school pupils register
and tomorrow they vote. The whole
affair is carried out in imitation of the
regular election and affords a good
opportunity of studying the system.
The Lyeeum patriotic meeting post
poned from last Friday will be held to-
morrow afternoon. After the program
the monthly election of officers will
take place.

SIXTY YEARS OF Welded LIFE.

The following is taken from the San
Francisco Bulletin
San Jose, Oct. 27.-To comparatively
few married couple is given the privil-
eye of celebrating the sixtieth anniver-
sary of their marriage, but Mr.. and Mrs.
John Phelps of San Jose are among
the executions. Thursday of this week
marked for them just sixty years of
married life. Surrounded in their own
home by decendents to the third gener-
alton, receiving the loving tribute of
hosts of friends in their placid evening
of life, this remarkable couple serve to
give an emphatic negative to the ques-
ton is marriage a failureg"
Mr. and Mrs. Phelps We're born in
the state of New York. The husband
is now 81 years of age and wife rs. In
1880, when IL years of age, Mr.. Phelps
went with his fathers family to Michi-
gan, and was among the sturdy pio-
neers who, with hard work. wrought
a home out of the wilderness and the
stern conditions of pioneer life. AT u
he married his boyhood's love, and to-
gether they went farther into the wilds
to conquer new difficulties. Mr.. Phelps
engaged extensively in the lumber BUSH
ness, both in Michigan and Wisconsin.
In 1894 he sold out and came to Califor-
MIA, settling in San Jose.
To Mr. and Mrs. Phelps Were born
three sons, Orio, George and Nj. d.
Phelps; also one daughter, now Mrs. +.
p. Corey; and these, with twelve grand
children and two great-grandchildren,

anniversaries on this earth, is the SIM
