SLANT WRITING AGAIN.

Vertical writing, as taught In the pub
lie schools, is losing in favor. 1t became
popular only four or five years ago. but
the growth of its popularity was aston
ishing. All over theNcountry schools dis
carded the old slant style of writing and
adopted the vertical. The chief points in
favor of the latter are its legibility and
the fact that the pupil sits in natural
position az the desk. 1t has been claim
ed that the slant writing is responsible
for curvature of the spine and affections
OF the eyes in children by reason of the
unnatural position assumed by them at
their desks in writing.
The board Of school superintendent of
New York city, however, has reached the
conclusion that there are more disadvant-
ages than advantages in the vertical writ
ing hence it has passed a resolution rec
ommending complete change in the sys-
tenn of penmanship taught In New York
public schools. The vertical form is to
be replaced by a slant form; but the old
slant of thlrty-eight degrees from the
vertical line Is not to be readopted. The
the upright letters and the old slant, re-
tanning the broadness and the short stems
of the vertical form.
Among the chief objections to the verti-
cal writing are the lack of speed and
of individuality. 1t has been demonstrat-
ed that a good writer using the inclined
style can write almost twice as fast as an
WI 70 iOhf
style. This is a matter of much moment,
since rapidity of penmanship is often es-
sentially necessary in life after school
days. New York business men, it is
said, will not employ young men and wo-
men who write vertically If they can pos
sibly get those who write after the old
fashion. They say chat, besides being
too slow, the vertical writing all looks
alike. II is not practicable to tell whether
a piece of manuscripts bill, an order.
a book entry, a check. or other paper
was written by one person or another.
when that style is employed. 1t is easy
to understand how annoying and posi-
bly, serious complications might arise
from this source. 1t is the individuality
of handwriting that is the greatest safe
guard against forgery and fraud. The
proposed new system, ID is claimed, will
permit of the development of individual
ity and at the same time give speed and
legibilty. It is ito be hoped the matter
of making the change will be well digest
ed before il is generally adopted. If
vertical writing is a fad as some of
its opponents claim, it would be both ex-
pensive and annoying to change it for
another fad

The campaign that is progressing IN
North Carolina is strongly reminiscent of
the campaign Of 1876, in Georgia and South
Carolina. AS in those days. the Demo-
Gratis are parading in red shirts, which
never fail to stimulate the enthusiasm.
The red shirt as Southern Democrats
campaign emblem, came into being as \
protest against the Republican party's
waving of the "bloody shirt a defiance
of that party at the polls, and a red
iicane that the South would not longer
submit 20 negro domination. The bloody
shirt" had its origin in kuklux days, and
is supposed to have been worn by negroes

ers, both North and South, to igurative-

The Philadelphia Record gives curren-
cy to a queer story; one which, like news
from Pekin, needs to be officially con-
firmed before it can be accepted gen
orally. 1t is to the effect that Senator
Stewart of Nevada, the Soaring cham
pion of rs to l, has returned TO the bosom
of the Republican party" II was not a
matter of very great surprise when SEN
ator Hoar announced that, notwithstand-
ing the wickedness of imperialism and
the grave mistakes OF the Republican
party in its foreign policy he would sup
port that party But when one is asked
to believe that Stewart of Nevada. who
has existed upon free silver and the crime
of 1873 long enough for infants in arms TO
become voters, has gone to the bosom of
the single gold standard party, it taxes
ones credulty.

It is claimed that the opening of the
Chicago drainage canal has had the eff
feet of considerably lowering the death
rate of that city At all events, the rate
is much lower than it has ever been since
the keeping of mortality records was be-
gun, IN 1872 Although the city was in
a torrid wave during the week which
ended on July Il. the mortality record was
only 1916 per 1000, while the rate for the
corresponding week in July, 1899, was 17.6
per 1000 II is stated that the greatest
reduction is in the death rate of children
under years of age.

coNvICTs FoR ROAD BUILDING.

An interesting part of the report of the
Congressional Industrial Commission is
that which deals with prison labor. To
the minds of the commissioners, the most
satisfactory manner in which convicts
have yet been employed. is in the con-
struction of improved public roads. Road
building is preferable to labor in factories
inside prison walls, because on the roads
the prison labor does not come into com.
petition with free labor TO any appreca-
Bile extent. Many of the roads that are
built with convict labor would never be
built at all If free labor and taxation
were to be depended upon for their CON
struction. What the convict road builder
does, practically, is to pay back to che
community, in another FORM the cost
Of his conviction, and Of his board and
lodging, without taking bread from the
family of any law-abding buckingham.
And the improved roads. when finished
are Godsend to the community through
which they pass, not only in comfort and
convenience OF travel but in wear and
tear on vehicles and animals 1t has
been estimated that transportation over
good roads costs 50 per cent. less than
over the ordinary, poor country roads.
From the standpoint of the convict.
road building is better than labor in prison
factories. On the road the convict works
in open air and sunlight at a wholesome.
muscie-making occupation. He acquires
an appetite which makes his coarse food
palatabie and keeps his digestion good.
The surroundings are cheerful ana hope
full. The work teaches the convict how
TO handle spade hoe. shovel, pick or
tamper-tools with which he may earn
an honest living afterwards. In the prison

their efforts that a new fishing industry
may be developed in the Northwest. The
favor of the shad is universally recog

to the fish is the many small bones it

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Columbia Is. O. State (Dem.) says:
THE announcement that the Chinese have
ordered the mobilization Of an army of
$4,000 men, to the great surprise of the
Powers, suggests the immortal lines of
the poet of All Sin;
In his sleeves, which were long,
He had twenty-four packs;
Which is putting 1t strong
Yet l state but the facts
ut is not matter for humor. of course
and we do not apply it as such, but the
manner in which, unknown to the west
ern world, the Chinese have in four years
supplied themselves with an immense
armament and used European officers to
drill their troops to fight against Europe
is in thorough keeping with the moral
that
" For ways that are dark
And forNtricks that are VAIN
The Heathen Chinee is PECULIAR"
The Birmingham Age-Herad (Dem)
says ut has long been a rule in China
to avoid as far as possible vexatious and
onerous taxation. Taxes are there at a
minimum. In America they are at
maximum, appearing in every possible
form except an income tax which those
who could most readily bear taxation
have decided they will not submit to. II
is very plain that China has methods that
fit the case eXcellenuy for, for govern
ment that has outlasted Rome and
Greece, and a long array of other govern
ments plainly must have some points of
excellence, and light taxation seems to
be one of them"
The Pittsburg pa Post (Dem) says:
The way the Suger Trust has been goug-
ing the people the last few months is a
caution to sinners. In five months the
trust has increased the price 80 cents per
hundred pounds This does not look like
an extravagant rise, but when the adj
vantage 1t gives TO the refiners Is consid-
cred, II becomes a magnitude to the con-
sumner In short, 1t adds to the profit of
the rehners on consumption of one year
of $40, 1900 The sugar trust has been a
great contributor to Mark Hanna's cam
paign fund, and this year it is counted on
for a million of dollars.
The New Orleans Picayune SAYS:
"The aims and purposes of recently or
ganized Gotten growers associations seem
eminently reasonable and practicable.
and, If the control of the associa items re-
mains in conservative hands, there is no
doubt at all but that they might greatly
AID the cotton growers to better their
condition.

Cornelius f. Kene a LAWYER Of New-Rochele,
died yesterday in St Vincents Hospital this city.
Mr. Kene had been In poor health for several
years and recently he had suffered from lung
trouble. He had been in the hospital only few
days, and his death was entirely unexpected by
his friends.
Mr. Kene was born in Tuckahoe. and about
fifty-three years old. When young man he en-
tered the Office of Judge William Fl. Robertson, of
White Plains, to study law. Subsequently he was
graduated from the New-York University Law

brought against her by Miss Howe, and IS said
that overwork in this FASTENED his death.
