according to the answers of as many
different ones of this choice twenty
seven.
More of like kind of exact mis-
information might be extracted from
this remarkable test. But here Is
enough to point n moral, If not to
adorn tale. The usufruct, so to
speak, of the experiment, is to sug
gest a seventh query, namely: is a
college, at this day, any evidence of
the survival Of the fittest in lterature2
If the answers wrought out by this
examination are to be taken as any
thing like the average output of a So
called liberal training is not the re-
crudescence of the district school of
our younger days, or even the pine
knot of an earlier generation, to be
thought more hopeful of results, more
useful, as well as far less expensive?
To say nothing of the dcarth of
Bible knowledge, and of some of the
most striking incidents of Scripture,
the whole thing argues a shocking
unfamiliarity with the grand old faith

the men who built the lolty rhyme"

ance of the works of others who have
sounded the depths of the human
soul and have made the common prop
erty of the world all the rich frutagc
of the choicest philosophy; and this
on the part of those WHO are to aspire

literary taste of today seems to be
formed on the models of David

MY CADET.

He used to climb upon my lap
With soft, wide eyes and eager
questions;
A most engaging little chap,
And full Of curious. quaint sug-
gestions.
And as rocked him, half asleep,
His curly head against my shoulder,
l wished that l might somehow
keep
My little lad from growing older.
And now he lifts me off my feet,
And laughing, calls me Little
Mother"
/ wonder can 1t be my sweet,
My baby boy, or just some other.
He looks so very straight and trim,
With snowy belts and shining BRASS
tS,
So cleanly cut in brow and limb,
A beau among the younger lassies.
He talks Of ''yaps" and filming
out"
And "plebes" and 'cubs" and "kids"
and "sneaking,"
Until, sometimes, l really doubt
The language that my boy is speak
Ing.
Somehow, tonight, my eyes are wet
For baby days so oft regretted;
And yet think, my big cadet
Is just the little lad l petted.

SUSPICIOUS REJOICING.
(From The Commoner.)

Why do the Republican papers re-
joice over every event which they can
anizing element of the Democratic
party! 1t is only fair TO assume that
the Republican editors have parti
san interest in weakening the Demo
cratic party. 1t is only fair to assume
that they will be pleased by any indi-
cation of weakness on the part of their
political opponents. Why is it, then,
that they eXult whenever gold and
corporation Democrats secure control
of the party organ zation? Why Is it
that they constantly suppress all evi-
dence encouraging to Kansas City
platform Democrats, and magnify ev-
cry thing that gives hope to the men
who oppose the Kansas City platform ?
Read, for illust aton, the Republican
II. l.
Republican papers gave columns of
editorial space to the suppression Of
the Kansas City platform by the Ohio
convent on and declared that the
Democrats of that State had put them
selves in good lighting trim by dis
card ne the so called 'heresies" that
had hand capped" them. They also
vociferously asserted that the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor in Iowa
was opposed to allowing national Is
sues to enter into the campaign. Now,
they point to the Republican, majority
in Iowa as defeat for silver, and
they either ignore the result in Ohio
altogether, or, us some of the papers
do, explain ii by saying that Mr.. XII
bourne was at heart "A silver man and
that he did not poll as large Il vote
as he would have polled had he beer
an advocate of the gold standard.
The result In Nebla,ka Is espcc al
ly pleasing to the Republicans, al
though the Republican candidate this
year polled fifteen thousand votes less
than the fusion state ticket and Mr.
Bryan polled last year.
The Chicago Tribune says that Tues
days elections "nre gratifying" and
that they indicate plainly that the
Democratic party Is rehnbilltnting It.
self by returning gradually to It's old
doctrines" How fortunate 1t is tina,
the gold standard papers that cal
themselves Democratic, ana the Re
publican papers are able to agree sc
completely ms to the best course 70,
the Democratic party to pursue. This
harmony Is so harmonious us TO arouse
the suspicion that either the Repub
leans are badly deceived az to what
is best for their party or that gold
Democrats are very much mistaken
as to what is best for the Democratic
party.
