EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.


Mr.. NJ. f.. Frazee, Who is Attending school
in Ohio. Contributes to the Educn-
tional Column.
To the Editor of The Republican.
Not long since | noticed that The
REPUBLICAN was willing tn give one
column of its valuable paper to edu-
cational affairs for the benet; Of the
public schools, which | consider an
excellent idea. 1t shows the inteuse
interest that the editor is taking in
the schools of our county. He has
done his part aud now it remains for
the citizens and teachers TO do theirs.
Almost without exception he best
thought of civilization accepts the
theory that school education for the
young should be y public undertak-
ing, conducted and supported 10y the
community at large This policy has
easily justified itself to the reason.
/ Childhood is ignorant and helpless.
1t does not know what influences to
admit and what to avoid. If not
given, i'll h $ youth, the benefit of the
experience and learning that have
preceded him man would consume
| the richest portion of his life in get
ting wisdom by the hard road of
guesswork, experimentation and mis-.
takes. He would exhaust his ener-
gies and capacity for new achieve
ments in battling with crude difficult
ties that the race has long since over
come and gone on to the solution of
the higher and more finely drawn
questions of intellectual and ethical
life and of social organization. SO
important is it, indeed, that every
man and woman should be started in
life with this preliminary equipment
that the matter must not be left to
the choice of the children themselves.
nor even to the will of some of the
parents, but some universal system
must be provided which she'll not
only put educational opportunities
within the reach of all, but shall
guarantee to these future men and
women the sound quality and useful
ness of the instruction given them.
Private enterprise can neither fur
nlsh this universal opportunity nor
guarantee and enforce this necessary
standard of educational work. The
community must do it collectively
and do it, if necessary, even against
the will of the minority; this for the
sake of social progress, and hence
ultimately of the survival of civiliza-
ton.
The providing of free public educa-
ton has had the hearty endorsement
OF. almost every school of political
and social philosophers. In the Uni
ted States the public school system
has always been of the most popular
features OF our institutions. 1t even
has become the center of great deal
of genuine sentiment and is generally
described as one of the foundation
stones of the republic. Now this may
logically be said to be true of county.
1t is a noticeable fact that but very
little protest against the increasing
expense of providing education has
arisen anywhere nor has the growing
Importance of the public school sys-
tenn in our national life been hailed
with anything but satisfaction bv
political economists and students of
social institutions.
Now, we need more school in Gar
rett county and shall suggest a few
ways by which we may secure money
to keep open the schools seven
months, which would be about as
long as the majority of the children

CLALLANT, WASH, Dec. 81, 1900.
To the Editor of The Republican
DEAR SIR After having spent
three months in the Wild WestI will
try to write few items for your val
liable paper.
We arrived in Seattle Oh the Great
Northern flyer at 9 p. III. Although
it was Sunday evening the saloons
were open and play was in progress
at the theatre. After staying in the
city three hours we went on board
the steamer Alice Gertrude and took
passage for Clallam, which is situated
ON the Strait of Juan de Tuca at
about twenty-five miles from Cape
Flattery and Vancouver Island about
thirteen miles distant.
The second day after my arrival
here had the good fortune to kill
large buck. The way they hunt deer
here they find where the deer cross a
stream, then some one stands at the
crossing and another goes on ridge
or feeding ground with the dogs and
runs the deer in the water for the one
standing there to shoot. That is the
only way they hunt deer, as the for
ests are so dense they cannot get to
see them any other way. Then occa-
sionally one gets to kill seal as
there are great many here, not the
fur seal but the hair seal, and almost
any time one can catch Goldfish that
will weigh from ten to twenty pounds.
| caught one a few days ago that was
three feet long and weighed seventeen
pounds.
1t is exciting to see the Siwash In
dians killing whale. They have a
harpoon with seal skin filled with
air attached to it, then when a canoe
gets close enough they stick har-
pooh in the whale and he will sound:
as soon as he comes to the surface
they will stick another harpoon in it
with another seal skin attached and
this canoe will fasten on to the first
one behind and so on till the whale is
towing sometimes eight or ten canoes
and he will have so many air tight
skins he cannot sound and he is then
at the tender mercies of the Indians.
They are natural born fishermen, as
one Siwash will often make thirty
dollars in a single day trolling for sal
mon with hand line, and when they
go fishing for halibut; they often
return with ton and a-half of fish,
about six hours work. As race the
Siwash are short, square-bullt peo-
pie, somewhat resembling the Chi
nese or Japs, as indeed they are sup
posed to be descended from that race
of people, as there have been some
Chinese coins two thousand years
old found on the Pacific Coast They
speak two kinds of languages-the
Siwash and Chinook-the latter
kind of jargon invented by the white
man for trading purposes.

that Maryland corn was awarded first

POLITICAL NEWS.

appear.

Recruits for the Senator,hip Fight Sow
appear.
In discussing the senatorial contests
last Sunday the Baltimore American
said
The talk is going around among
politicians these days, Republican
senatorial candidates are springing
up thick and fast. There is every
indication, at this early date, that the
contest in the matter of Senator Wei
lington's successor W Ill obscure every
thing else in local politics during the
first year of the new century, and the
ball has already started rolling. 1t is
generally conceded that what was
said in these columns two weeks ago,
concerning the double game Con-
gresham Mudd is preparing 20 play,
is correct. Mr.. Mudd has not denied
1t, and so accurate was it that ii is
known to have caused more than a
little worry in certain quarters where
his candidacy is not viewed with
especial favor. But it has had the
effect of concentrating public atten-
ton among the politicians on this
matter
That Mudd has the long end of the
string at this time is acknowledged
by all. and one of the most prominent
Republicans of the state-a man who
has never aided or abetted Mr..
Mudd's aspirations-remarked a day
or so after the publication of that
story:
The mali who undertakes to be-
little Mudd's influence, should the
Republicans control the next Legisla-
ture, will make a serious mistake.
The Fifth district congressman is
going to be Il big factor in the fight in
the matter of Senator Wellington's
successor
That seems to be the opinion among
the local workers, and it is believed
that certain influences are at work to
bring out number of candidates in
order to prevent Mudd from making
series of effective combinations. In
the last two weeks there have been
mentioned as probable candidates for
senatorial honors, Congressman Geo.
A. Pearre, of the Sixth congressional
district, who, it is admitted, can con
troll the delegations from Allegany
and Garrett counties, should he desire
to enter the race; Milton G. Urner,
of Frederick county. who will name
the Legislative ticket in that county
and dictate the casting of the coun-
tvs vote should the Republicans car
ry it.
From the Eastern Shore, Philips
Lee Goldsborough, state chairman,
will, it is believed, enter the fight ag-
gressively, He has a strong following
in that section, but the opinion pre-
walls that he will be unable to secure
the backing of the whole Eastern
Shore delegation, since it is believed
OLhCICs
man Isaac A. Barber, ex-State Sena-
tor A. Lincoln Dryden and ex-State
Senator Charles T. Westcott will en-
ter the race and split up the contin-
gent from across the bay. In 1896,
Mr.. Goldsborough was the leading
candidate against Senator Yelling
ton. He made his own fight then,
and it seems to be generally accepted
that he will have to make it the same
way again, for no one expects Senator
McComas to enter the lists in Mr..
Gollsborough's behalf, unless it
should become necessary in order to
defeat Congressman Mudd

1t is a modern discovery, composed
of harmless vegetable ingredients
acceptable to the weakest or most
delicate stomach. Its great success
in curing stomach troubles is due to
the fact that the medical properties
are such that it will digest whatever
wholesome food is taken into the
stomach, no matter whether the
stomach is in good working order or
not. 1t rests the overworked organ
and replenishes the body, the blood,
the nerves, creating a healthy appe-
tite, gives refreshing sleep and the
blessings which always accompany
a good digestion and proper assimi-
lation of food.
In using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
10 dieting is required. Simply eat
plenty of wholesome food and take
these Tablets at each meal, thus as
sisting and resting the stomach
which rapidly regains its proper di-
gestive power. when the Tablets will

Nervous dyspepsia is simply a con-

In the face of these absurd claims

let's have carefully refrained from
making undue claims or false repre-

this most excellent remedy for dys-
