9 Instead of running two candidates
for Representative, the Democrats of
the Sixth district of Kent county
should come together in support of one.
To continue their division to the open
ing Of the polls will simply be TO throw
Democratic district to an Addicks
Republican. This would be sheer folly.
This district is the only one in the
State where Democratic dissensions
exist. and no effort should be spared tc

Whether Mr.. John Hum, the Re-
publican nominee for governor, is of
Quaker or German ancestry, one thing
is certain: And that is, he is Union
Republican. The Union Republican
party is absolutely controlled by Mr.. J.
Edward Addicks. Is it not reasonable
to infer, therefore, that Mr.. Addicks
would control its nominees for office in
the event OF their election?

In 1897 the expenditures on account
of the army and navy of the United
States amounted to Ss3, 400, 900. In
1899, they amounted to S293, 900. 600
For 1901 the official estimates are
Sl76. 100000. There is marked retluc.
tion here from the total OF 1885, which
included the expenditures Of the war
with Spain, but still the 1901 estimate
is largely 10 excess of the actual ex.
penditures of 1891 The official est
mates for 1902 are 5000, 900, 600. Thil
shows the cost of Imperialism, and o
attempting to control foreign COUNT ie

One consequence of the recent whole
sale slaughter CT the Chinese in Man.
CHI uria, by the Ccssacks, is serious
diminution of the food supply of the
region. Hitherto the vast masses of
the population on both sides Of the
Amur have existed mainly upon fish,
beef being too costly for them, owing
to the great distances over which it
has to be transported. 1t has been
related already how thousands Of
Chinese were drowned in the river in
their efforts to escape from the Co.'S
sacks, and it is now said that the dead
bodies of those killed in the fight
ing around Blagovetchensk were also
thrown into the water. Even Russian
papers say that the stream is filed
with corpses, some Of them estimating
the number at least IL, 600. The latest
reports are to the effect that the fish
are dying in shoals, and are fiingine
themselves un to the banks to avoid
| the tainted food. Not unnaturally, the
| fishermen and the natives general,
believe that the whole river has beer
poisoned, and prefer starvation to feed
ing on the fish taken from it. As fo
the fish leaping out of the stream, tn
explanation Of that phenomenon is sup
posed 10 be the arrival of sharks ant
other fish of prey, attracted to tn
neighhorhood by the feast of carriol
provided for them.

Roosevelt,s Insult to worklngme en-,

Magazine of February, 1888, entitled
"Ranch Life in the Far West" Theo-
dore Roosevelt wrots as follows about
his pct cowboys and rough riders:
When drunk on the villainous whie.
ky OF the frontier towns they 1.-THE

contact of the moment or on account

haps because of bad blood between the
ranches or localities. But they are
much better fellows and pleasanter
companions than the small farmers or
agricultural lahorers; nor are the me-
chanics of great city TO be mentioned
in the same breath with them.
1t is more than twelve years since
Roosevelt wrote this, but there is no
indication that he has changed his
mind in the interval. He evidently
holds the same opinion today that he
expressed in 1885.
ssAnd SO, according to the deliberate
estimate OF the strenuous apostle oil

men, the mechanics of great city

Very few Of these gentlemen followed in

THEATRICAL NOTES..

The Salt Lake Tribune says: "a taste
of Charley Hoyt was given at the Grand
last night in "a Day and a Night" one
of the two Hoyt plays Salt Lake had not
yet seen. 1t is Charley Hoyt jim much
more than the play, and the name for il
is managed and owned by Mr.. Hoyt's
former leading man and close friend. W.
II. Currie, who was here at the last per-
Torrance ever given by Hoyt himself.
"A Day and a Night tells with true
Hoytian flavor of escapades in New
York, in which some very lively young
women and a New York clergyman cut
a dash. Mr.. Hoyt's trump cards were
always pretty women and stunning cos
tunes. Mr.. Currie has retained these,
and the zest with which the play moved
owes much to these spices. Madge Law
renee, Cora Isham, Kittie Kilmore. Char
lotte Stole and Lillian Maynard were
the female contingent. ALI Holt in his
Wh!Stling specialties won numerous en-
cores, the preacher of Tom Martin was
more than amusing, and all went with a
vim. The piece run the first half OF
the week with Wednesday matinee. At
tendance last night was good.' The play
will be at the Margaret theater tomor-
row evening.
The many theater-goers who enjoy a
hearty laugh will no doubt welcome the
coming of William A. Brady and Joseph
X. Grismer's production of the Anglo
American farcical play, "a Stranger in
a Strange Land" which will be the at
traction at the Margaret theater mex.

longer the fashion. There are still, at
the head of each class, some young men
in love with Latin letters. But they are
already regarded as the last of the
Humanists. a<si
If one must be sorry for this, may one
be astonished at it? Latin has with
drawn from society: it tends to with
draw from schools. This is fatal. fn the
eighteenth century it was still the uni
versal language of science. Now science
speaks French, English, German. The
olosy alone retains it's old idiom, but
the ology is narrowly enclosed in the
walls of seminaries, and the public gives
ear no longer to it's disputes. Already
the place that Latin occupied in pro-
Srammes has greatly diminished. The
antique honors of Latin have been taken
away from it. 1t viii soon be torn into
fragments and its total disappearance,
in a near future that We hope not to see,
is certain.
And yet, mutilated as it is, Latin re-
mains the nerves and the muscles Of
secondary instruction. In the place Of
the limbs that have been amputatad,
from it, branches of SCIENCES have been
placed. 1t does not seem that the minds
of pupils hawke been profitably fed from
them. There has peer in that regard n
painful deception. AS the methods of
sciences surpass the understanding of
children teachers have held to nomen-
clatures that weary the memory with
out inspiring the intelligence
l see in all these notions a practical in
terest only in knowledge of living Ian
guases. One may not deny that it is ad-
~Vantageous to know English and Ger
man. This knowledge is usewult to the
merchant and to the LEGISLATOR as well
as to the soldier and to the man of sci
enee. But it remains to be seer if Sec
ondary instruction is to nave the useful
Tor its unique object.
TO learn how to think-in this is sum-
married the well-made programme of
secondary instruction.
This is why I regret infinitely the
methods by which Latin was formerly
taught in literary classes, for in learning
Latin thus pupils learned something in
nnltely more precious than Latin. They
learned the art of conducting and of ex-
pressing their thoughts.
1t is the milk of the Roman wolf that
Forms the most beautiful element of our
blood. All those among us who have
thought strongly had learned to think in
Latin. l do not in saving
that to ignore Latin is to be ignorant of
.he sovereign clearness of speech.
