drawn from the attitude of the supreme
court during the last half century and
from the action Of the other depart
ments Of government. According to the
general conception, the constitution IN
der which we live is written with rigid
provisions. But the supreme court has
modified this instrument by construc-
ton and Interpretation. Former
decisions are frequently overruled
by a divided court, and often by
a bare majority, at times, a conflict
among the justices concurTing in the re-
suit. To the iayman it seems that the
constitution is to be obeyed or not obey
ed as the circumstances of a particular
crisis in Jul history may suggest.
Are the construction and interpreta-
ton Of the constitution by the supreme
court. and the disregard of it by the
executive and the legislative depart
ments Of the government, the kineto1
scope which displays the march of the
constitution? Is this constitutional
iconoclasm preparing the way for the
progress of our institutions? And IL
this constitutional mutation continues
for another century will not our consti-
tuition be a legal fiction?"
1t is a pity but We doubt not 1t Is
true that the average intelligent Amer
lean has not one half the regard and
confidence in the highest judiciary of
our country that people entertained for
it a half century ago. 1t has steadily
lost ground under the baleful influence
of political partisanship and necessities.
When the public mind is shocked by q
body that is to be based on both learn
ing and integrity, upon it's high sense
of propriety and justice, because of its
tergiversations and selfish rulings, the
tone then is depressed and marred ir-
retrivably, and men cease to confide in
its wisdom and purity. The character
of a court is completely dependent upon
the Justice of it's decisions. We nave
had a most telling example Of this in
some of the ~disgraceful doings of three
republican judges in this state. Peter
Pindar. a British wag Of a poet, wrote:
when judges a campaigning go,
And on their benches ook so big,
What gives them consequence, / trow.
Is nothing but a bushel wig"
and the campaigning judges" greatly
shrink in size and Importance. What a
blow to the safety, purity and good
name of the judiciary was given when
the law of election was changed, and it
was made popular and political. 1t
was a most unfortunate change for
North Carolina. In enthroned dema-
gogy. Can it be a now of justice:
"Poise the u in Justices equal scale,
Whose beam stands sure, whose right
full cause prevails"

Love among Savages


Among the Arabs of upper Egypt the
youth who proposes to a girl must sub
nit to a whipping at the hands of all
her male relatives, and, says a dry mar
rator 'if he wishes to be considered
worth having he must receive the chas-
tisement, which is sometimes exceed
ingly severe, with an expression of en-
joyment."
Not infrequently it is the maiden her
self who imposes the test. The Saka-
lava girls Of Madagascar make their
lovers stand at a short distance from
a clever spear thrower and catch be-
tween the arm and side every weapon
flung at them. If the youth displays
fear or fails to catch the spear, he Is
ANONYMOUSLY rejected, but if there be
no fiinching and the spears are caught
he is at once proclaimed an accepted
lover"
Worse than this is the trial enforced
upon their suitors by the Dongolowee
girls. When in doubt as to the respec-
tive merits of two rivals, the young
lady fastens a sharply pointed knife 10
each elbow: then, seating herself be-
tween her lovers, she drives the blades
slowly into their thighs, the hero
who takes the greatest length of steel
without murmur wins the bride.
Major Mitchell in his Expeditions
Into the Interior Of Eastern Australia"
says Of the natives on the river Oar
ling that their idea of fighting are as
ISOLATED with the possession of gins or
wives and that after a battle the wives
Edo not always follow their fugitive
husbands from the field. but frequently
go over as a matter Of course, to the
victors." None but the brave deserve
h fair" is a maxim well understood
of most barbaric races.-Chambers'
Journal.

there must be sympathy with individ-
ual tastes, and wise direction of them:
and this is where the system OF unlim-
tied examination breaks down."
Let there be common sense IN schools.
A crying fault is too long lessons. In
some early experiments In teaching, we
found that in a class of thirty-six
children. not more han half a dozen
could possibly learn the lesson, because
of its great length, that a female teach
er had given them. We reduced ii over
half, and even then there were quite a
dozen who could not learn it, so farth-
er reduction followed. The idea was
not to give lessons proportioned 10 the
few best minds, but to the ordinary
average Of capability. Teachers must
discriminate wisely and are the best
judges Of the capacity Of a class.

SAMPSON JEALOUS AND SCHLEY
MAGNANIMOUS.

Funny very! Sampson ook no part
in the great Santiago battle and vic
tory, and yet he was Cheeky enough
to want the victor Schley to give him
credit in his repot. He declined to re-
ceive Schley's first report of the battle
because it did not mention his cruiser
New York in the fight. And that ship
was ten miles away and did not do
a particle of the fighting. Then look
at Schley's extreme ~magnanimity. He
actually revised his report to please the
fraud and blunderer. What would
Bob Evans or Crowningshield have
lone under such provocation if either
of them had been in Schley's place,
the commander in the greatest of
American naval warfare. The noble
Schley said in his report hat the
victory was big enough for ALL" He
stated that he made the change out Of
generosity, because he knew if the
New York had been present she would
have done as good work as any other
vessel. Then recall how this splendid
generosity and forbearance were re-
paid by the jealous and unjust migrate
who has pursued his benefactor to the
death. One thing should not be over
looked. how he was treated by the
secretary of the navy. 1t is stated that
Mr.. Rayner secured the introduction of
the dispatch to the secretary of the
navy in which Admiral Schley depre-
Gated the newspaper accounts, which
we're giving him all the credit for the
battle, as we'll as a letter from Admir-
al Schley to Admiral Sampson trans
hitting a copy to the cable message.
Admiral Schley stated that he had de-
livered it in person to Admiral Samp-
son. who had thanked him for his gen
erosity.
1t is significant that Admiral Schley
sent this cablegram to the secretary
of the navy and exhibited his generos-
lty to his commander-in-chief on July
10, the very day that Admiral Sampson,
stung by the action of the American
press in giving Schley the credit for
the battle off Santiago, was writing
his letter to Dear Mr.. Secretary" in
which he, for the first time, referred
to Schley's conduct as "reprehensible.'
