mission OF these horrors, is appalling
enough. but that the government OF
the country should stand behind them
and support them in their fendish
deViltries. by paying the accursed
price of blood, is too revolving to con.
template. Nor can the stereoscopic
light of history be turned on more
perfect picture OF purest patriotism
than this sight of whole company oi
school children standing in line and
quietly awaiting their turn to feel the
scourge rather than give up the use
Of their native tongue. Among such
names as Kossuth, Lafayette and Wash
ington, let all the world remember
these Polish school children. and for
their oppressors be felt the scorn meted
to an lscariot.
When such barbarities are practiced
by and with the sanction OF the govern
ment, small wonder that Nihilism and
Socialism rear their heads on high and
point the way for Sans-culottism and
Anarchy to follow. Who can be sur
prised, after this assault upon helpless
infancy. if the parents of these child
rem. and, in after years, these children
themselves when grown up. shall raise
the right hand of rebellion against that
law which has appeared to them in the
very guise of all that is malevolent and
satanic? Among the cotters in the
highlands ana lowlands of Scotland is
still heard the language so we'll be-
loved by Bobbie Burns and Walter
Scott; in the Emerald Isle the "Cead
Mile Failthe" still greets the ear of
the eager tourist; in Canada can still
be heard the soft sibilant of the
French language. What more natural,
then, than that these earnest patriots
who have lost and mourn their ILL
fated country, should at the least still
try to retain what "reminiscences of 1t
they can by preserving the vernacular
to succeeding generations?
"Man's inhumanity to man, makes
countless thousands mourn" sings the
poet. 1t is when governments act
thusly with their subjects that con-
ditions are bred and fostered which
find ultimate fruitage in scenes like
what this country has recently passed
through. Yours, Very Faithfully,

Are Panlcs q Thing of the Past9

A st. Louis morning paper and the
Hartford Times are discussing the
periods between panics of the pas,
and trying to support theory that
panics, like comets, may be predicted
with mathematical certainty. Suppose
we admit that panics of the past have
had q certain appearance or periodical
recurrence, have rot conditions out OF
which panics are created so changed
that Implications of such papics as we
have had in the past are practically
impossiblep
Secretary Gage clearly indicates that
relief of the money market is the RENE
dy for panics. Therefore. panics grow
out of a money market suffering from
stringency. The enormous increase
of circulating medium. the enormous in
crease in banks and trust companies
and the wide distribution of money
centers. presents a condition which
never before existed in this country.
Can there be a stringency in the
money market as now constituted?
Formerly. Wall-st. was the pulse of
American finance. Now it is merely
o: the speculative market. The values
it places are known to be fictitious.
1t is no longer a merchants ex-
change, but a gamblers inferno.
How little it can do to disarrange the
commerce of the country now was
shown when Northern Pacific made
and lost millions of gamblers money
in an hour. There was the nucleus of
an old-time panic in the Pacific huctu-
atlons, but no general panic came.
Wall-st. gathered up its dead, but
the people at large did not join in the
weeping. 1t was not public funeral.

LIARS should have long memories
and should never put down anything
In black-and-white. To our Republi-
can contemporaries we commend for
careful perussl the following item,
taken from the Globe Democrat OF Nov.
16, 1875, concerning the State school
fund:
For four weeks negotiations have
been pending for this transfer, and
the superintendent has been earnestly
engaged In the negotiations. The
transfer was necessitated from the fact
that the United States bonds were
called by the Secretary Of the Treas
ury of the United States for redemption
on January /, 1876. Much credit is
due the Board of Education, consist
ing of the Attorney General, Secretary
of State and Superintendent of Schools.
AS the investment ia now made, the
yearly interest is materially increased
for school purpose
The little fellows who have been
dutifully reiterating the falsehoods Of
the CD. regarding the "looting Of
the school fund" may explain the
above-if they can. The REGISTER
will patiently look on while they are
crawling out of the pit they digged for
their neighbors.

FROM the Connaoner: ''In the con-
clusion of his message Mr.. Roosevelt
refers to the deep and heartfelt sor-
row. occasioned in the United States
by the death of Queen Victoria and OF
the genuine sympathy of the Ameri-
can people because of the death Of the
empress dowager of Germany. Mr..
Roosevelt might have added, without
doing the least violence to the truth,
that the grief of the American people
because of the death of the wife OF
President Kruger. and the American
peoples sympathy with the bereaved
president of the South African re-
public, were no less sincere than the
grief and sympathy felt because of the
death of either Queen Victoria or the
empress dowager of Germany. Such
an expression from the President would
have been entirely appropriate, be-
cause the empress dowager was the
widow of dead emperor, while Mrs.
Kruger was the beloved wife Of liv-
ing president.

pleasant word for every one. Nora
was loved by all who knew her. AS a
wife she was constant. kind and true.
q loving companion in health, q wise
counselor in adversely, patient in trlbu-
lation and in short true helpmate.
As Christian her life has been above
the reproach OF critical evil word.
Truly she is not more guileless in
death than she was in life.
A host of friends extend heartfelt
sympathy to her beresved husband,
father, brothers and sister. Verify
they are sorely afflicted. yet they have
learned to bow to the will of our
Heavenly Father, and with christian
resignation say "Thy will be done. u
And they feel that she is:
Freed from the tolls and sorrows of earth,
Her spirit has winged its fight,
Across the dark valley and shadow of death,
To the beautiful field of light.
To the beautiful fields of light and life,
On the banks of that flowing river,
Where sorrow and death no more shall come,
But bliss forever and ever.
A FRIEND.

Count Won Buelow said also that the
views of the press in the United States,

occurrence, and described the gri: and

IRoNToN, Mo-, Dec. Is, 1901.
Ed. Register: Referring to the
above. taken from the st. Louis Globe
Democrat of the 11th inst, it appears
that the German government has a
standing offer of monetary reward TO
those teachers in the schools of Posen,
Wreschen. and other places in Prussia,
whose pupils the soonest abandon the
use of their, native language. Hu-
manity is appalled,, Liberty stands
aghast and Justice wrings her hands in
mute anguish at the spectacle OF con-
stltuted authority being upheld in such
barbarous practices by a so-called
(save the markD civilized government.
That the German government should,
by its mouth-plece, Count Won Buelow,
acknowledge itself to be not only re-
sponsible for these outrsges, but in
tending to persist in them, ought to
occasion an outcry from every person
who has one spark of human kindness
In their breast. History's page shows
no blacker scene than this crime
against helpless infancy. That school
children of both sexes should be sub
jected to the lash. by teachers whose
greed for gold alone actuates the COM

Ills, some time ago issued an order
excluding from the public schools all
children not vaccinated. They tried
to enforce the order last week, but
when one thousand or more pupils
were found recalcitrant, it was re-
scinded. To our notion a school board
has just as much right to demand the
vaccination of pupils as it has to order
their taking EPSON Salts or Early

How High WA. the Tower of Babel,

The actual height at which the last
stone Of that famous structure, the
Tower Of Babel, rested cannot. on ac-
count of the remoteness Of the times m
which II Is said to have existed. ever
become more than n matter Of merest
conjecture. Herodotus, who lived about
LOO years after that great spiral way
TO heaven" Is said to have been at
tempted, says that he saw at Babylon
a structure consisting Of eight towers
raised one above another. each - feet
in height, but whether this ruin was
the remains of the Tower Of Babel II
was even then impossible to ascertain.
Herodotus, usually infinitely exact In
his writing, leaves US I'm ignorance as
to how the upper level of each Of these
IS foot towers was reached from the
level below.
As might be expected, even In traGi-
ton. wide difference Of opinion exists
as TO the height of the tower. Most orr
entallsts maintain that God did not put
stop to the work until the tower had
reached height of 10000 fathoms. or
about ~ miles. In Ceylonese tradition
1t Is said to have been as high as 10000
elephants, each standing one above the
other. st. Jerome asserts on the au-
thority Of persons who had examined
the ruins that 1t did not reach height
exceeding four miles. Other state
ments are still more extrayagant.
