TRUE TEACHING.

There was a suggestion of practical
education In the visit Of the State Uni.
versity's sociology class to the Peniten-
tiary at Jefferson City for the purpose Of
observing the methods in vogue at that
Institution and of studying crimin0logy
from object lessons.
1t would be an excellent thing should
the State University widen the scope Of
its teaching in this manner. A practical
study Of State government and legisla-
ton might best be made by means Of
timely visits to the Missouri Capital, and
st. Louis offers an excellent field for
the cOmnOn-sense investigation Of NIL
nfcipal methods. There should be no
big convention in Missouri without serv-
Ing its educational purpose. In the i'm
portant field of commerce and Industries
the st. Louis Merchants Exchange and
the great manufacturing plants of this
city would splendidly repay intelligently
directed study.
During the Worlds Fair period. es-
pecially. could the State University in
dulge with profit In this modern and in
tensely practical method of education.
There will be much to learn in the vast
work then going on in st. Louis. The
arts. sciences and industries will be rep
resented In daily Ob~ject-lessons Of ever
increasing interest. So excellent an op-
portunity for educational profit will
never again, in all probability. be avail
able to the State University within the
borders of its own State. The sugges-
ton Is respectfully commended to the
attention Of the faculty Of that progress
i've seat of learning.

G. HERRON's CASE.

Professor George d. Heron will not
be the guest of honor at a banquet in
New York City Monday night. Behind
the statement Of the dispatches is the
revelation OF a good old Puritanic spirit
that once in a great while breaks out
even in New York City. Congratula-
tons are due to the men who have said
thus far and no further" to the pre-
tensions of the Grinnell clergyman.
There is something unique about the
case Of Doctor Heron. He is a cultured
man so far al brain development goes.
He is daring In his views. He has
claimed absolute verify in his teachings.
He has the garb of a minister of
the gospel. He has essayed to set a liv-
ing example of righteousness as the hus.
band Of a good woman and the father of
four children. He has kept himself be
fore the public.
But it would seem that Doctor Her
ron's theories have been for publication
only. Leaving his wife and children, he
spent a year abroad in company with
q rich and good-looking young woman
and her mother. 1t is claimed that on
his return he informed his wife. that he
no longer loved her, and would she please
get a divorce? In some way or other
ample provision for her future wants
was made, though Doctor Heron him.
self is a poor man. The divorce suit is
now pending. RImor has it that the di-
vine-spare the word-will marry the
rich Miss Rand when his freedom is OBJ
tanned.
Matters came to a focus when Doctor
Heron was announced as the guest of
honor at a reception Of the Get Together
Club. Prominent clergymen, among
them Doctor Hills and Doctor Josiah
Strong, were invited to be on the same
programme. In their letters Of declina-
ton they gave O practical example Of
social propriety which deserves strict
imitation both in and nj of the clergy.
They have spoken bravely when men
Of less stern stuff would have accepted
the conventional view of the matter.
There are elementary virtues that can
not be ignored In the consideration Of
any mans claim to public recognition.

CLARA MORRIS TELLS OF

Clara Morris. in an article on MIR. and
Mrs. Charles Kean. in McClure's Magazine

Mrs. Kean lived inside the most astound-

weight, its fitting power were awful En-
frances had to be cleared Of all chairs or
tables to accommodate Mrs. Kean's hoop.
People scrambled or slid sideways about
her on the stage. swearing mentally all
the time. while a sudden gasp from the
front row, or a groan from MIR. Cathcart,
announced q tilt and a revelation Of heel
less slippers and dead-white stockings.

POOR EMMY LOU AND
THE MYSTERIES OF LEARNING,

nelaware-s fate a Warning

From Philadelphia North American.
Because Of the refusal OF its Legisla-
ture to be debauched by a millionaire,
Delaware is deprived of representation
in the United States Senate for two
years. Other States have been deprived
OF one seat for a year or two by the
scheming OF corrupt men, but never be-
fore has a State lost both seats through
its refusal to be prostituted to the ann
bition Of an offensive politician with a
long purse.
A system OF election under which II
is possible for such a condition to ex-
ist is fatally defective, and must bg

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Saw Bill Is an Insult

To the Editor of the Evening Journal
Sir: The seven commissioners bill
that was passed by the Legislature is
an insult to every voter In New Castle
county, as well as to the members
to try to put in two more
members, and what for? Some say to
draw salary But it was because Of a
small gang of politicians that wanted
to run the Levy Court. Think of poor
old Pencader coming under a Demo-
cratic member after winning out at
the polls fer a Republican. If there is
any resentment by the members,
think the public will uphold them, and
the elected members will run the court
without the aid Of the accidentals. 1t
is nothing but a slap at the integrity
of every member of that body, and it
would be a wise action OF the governor
to veto or withhold the appointment,
for, If vacancy should occur, he then
would have the power to appoint a
member to fiji the place. A VOTER.

Debt Of Gratitude

From the Georgetown Democrat.
The General Assembly adjourned
sine die yesterday afternoon without
accomplishing what was to many the
main object of its session-that is the
election Of Addicks to the United
State Senate. The struggle has been
hard and earnest, and every conceiv-
able pressure has been brought to bear
upon the Democratic and Regular Re-
publicans to induce them to join the
Addicks column. All was. however,
in vain. The people OF the State, the
honest and self-respecting citizens,
knew too well what would result from
the election Of such a man to the high
position he sought They backed up
the opposition to his election in a way
that made itself felt, and the Regulars
knowing that their conduct ws ap-
proved by the best men of their own
party. did not cease their opposition
but bravely continued it to the end.
/ The people owe a debt of gratitude
to those members who faltered not in
their duty that it will be difficult tC
lrepay. They have saved the State
from the disgrace that would have at
TENDED the election Of such a man tC
represent them in the Senate and have
left the way open for the election o
lgoOd men two years hence.
If precedents are of any weight AM
appointment that Governor HUM ma!
make will avail nothing, as the rul
has been to refuse admission to an!
one appointed to fill vacancy cause,
by the failure of a State to elect. Tn
governor may try the game, but If tn

must reverse their action in the past

Addicks Beaten
New York Trlbune.

The Delaware Legislature has ad-l
iourned without filling either vacancy
in the United States Senate. Under the
State Constitution there will be no
session in 1902, the governor will not
appoint, and consequently Delaware
WIN be unrepresented in the upper
branch OF Congress for two year.
This situation Is the direct result OF
the unexpected action OF the Republi-
can National Convention last June In
recognizing the claims of ]. Edward Ad-
dicks to represent the Republican
party OF Delaware and seating his dele
gates. -Four years before, at st. Louis.
he had been deliberately outlayed as
a traitor to the party, and in the mean
time had succeeded in adding some
new chapters to an unsavory record.
Why that just and necessary verdict
was reversed at Philadelphia has never
been satisfactorily explained. but in
the light of events the folly of revers-
ing Il has become more and more ap-
parent During the presidential cam

co-operated with the Addicks forces to
elect a Republican president, but they
steadily asserted their right and obli-
cation to withhold from Addicks their
support in the contest for the senator
ships which it was known he would
conduct this Winter in accordance with
his familiar rule or ruin policy. 1t
has been a hard fight, and at times
has promised to become a desperate
one; but enough Republicans have
firmly stood their ground to Illustrate
once more an utterly selfish ambition.
It is unfortunate that the two seats
in the Senate which belong to Delaware
should be left unoccupied for two
years. hut 1t would have been a greater
misfortune for that State. for the Re
publican party, and for the whole coun-
try IL Addicks and a colleague oongen-
ial to him had been sent to take them.
The seven Republicans who remained
steadfast to the end are entitled TO pub
lie praise and gratitude. The venomous
defamation to which they were sub
iected when the last hope OF Addicks
had been destroyed is a token Of their
fidelity to principle. Their conduct
Throughout has been straightforward
and magnanimous. They have repeat
edly offered to Join IN any solution Of
the difficulty which would not amount
to betrayal OF their own honor and
a reward of Addicks' perfidy. When
these propositions were rejected in the
Expectation that their fortitude would
not endure the strain. or on the chance
that some other combination might be
made. there was only one thing left
for them to do, and they have done 1t.

v0LUBILITY AFFECTED DELLA.
WARE

Delaware will feel the bad effects Of
the long speech OF United States Sena-
tor Thomas II. Carter, Of Montana,
which resulted in the defeat OF the
River and Harbor bill, for there were
two provisions in it which were OF
vital concern to our people.
One was for the improvement Of the
Delaware river. for the benefit OF New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
with a view to obtaining a channel
six hundred feet wide and thirty feet
deep from Christian street. i'm Phila-
delphla, to deep water in Delaware bay.
The appropriation provided was $780,
900. The secretary Of war was author
lied by the bill to enter into a con-
tract or contracts for such materials
and work as might be necessary for
the prosecution or the project recon-
mClded in the report OF the govern
ment engineer. to be paid for as ap-
preparations might from time to time
be made by law, not TO exceed in the
aggregate $l,6OO,0OO, exclusive OF the
amounts therein and Heretofore ap-
propriated.
Another provision was Of peculiar in
terest to the people OF Wilmington. It
had In view the improvement of our
harbJr by bulkheading the Christiana
and widening and maintaining a chan
mel twenty-one feet deep, and author
lied survey. A preliminary cxami-
nation was first TO be made, which
would have embraced information con-
cerning the commercial Importance,
present and prospective, of the viii
mington harbOr, and report as TO the
advisability of it's improvement If
such preliminary examination had
been made. and the improvement not
deemed advisable. no further action
would have been taken thereon with
out the direction OF Congress-; but in
case the report had been made that the
harbor was worthy Of improvement, this
Secretary OF War would have caused
further surveys to be made. and the
cost Of the improvement estimated and
reported TO Congress.
But the entire bill has been killed
by the volubility Of the Montana
statesman. and our people must wait
with others for the next Congress tc
meet and rectify the wrong committed

disregard for the commercial interests
OF the country.

lower court. Should he be unable to
give bail he is taken to Jail and kept
there until the Court OF General Ses-
sions convenes. Let us suppose that
he is arrested in May, after the court
has wound up its criminal business.
He languishes in jail. at the expense Of
the taxpayers, until September per-
iod Of four months. II the bill had
become law this would have done
away with. and the Court OF General
Sessions and the regular jury panel
would have been freed from most of
these petty cases for they would have
been tried in the court below. and only
the appeal cases would have gone up.
We hope the next Legislature will act
affirmatively on a similar bill
