Extracts From W. j. Bryans Paper
THE REPRESENTATIVES DUTY.
,.....................;. Observation-Disclosures.

THE REPRESENTATIVES, DUTY.
The action of Hon. Seth ". Brown,
a republican member of congress from
ONO, IN introducing Philippine reso-
lutlon antagonistic to the policy of his
party raises the question: Whas Is
the duty OF representative?
Il Mr.. Brown had been elected upon
platform declaring in favor OF the
permanent retention OF the Philippines
he could not have introduced the reso-
tuition that he did Ca resolution prom
lSlng independence to the Filipinos
when capable and sta BILE free govern
ment is established without repudiat-
Ing the promises made TO his consti-
tuentS. a platform is worse than USE
less II 1t is not binding upon the con-
science of the representative. for if it
Is not obeyed it deceives the voters.
30 long as the people are the sover-
elgns and the representatives are the
servants chosen, not to think for them
Dut TO act for them, a platform pledge
should be sacredly observed. But Mr..
brown was elected to congress in 1898
ana was not reelected last year. At
the time of his election the treaty with
Spain had not been made and his party
mad not announced any policy on the
Phlllpplne question. The introduction,
therefore, of a resolution IN line with
the democratic position, but antagOn-
lstlc 10 the position of the administra-
tlon cannot be considered as betrayal
OF the confidence of his constituents.
MI. Brown also warns his party
against any attempt to repudiate the
promise OF independence made to Cuba.
Speaking of the resolutions adopted
by congress, he says:
The man who says we should have
resorted to this double dealing in
April, 1898, now very logically and
very naturally goes a step further and
says, we ought to violate the pledge
We then made and take Cuba whether
she wants TO come to us or not. What
more miserable, more inhuman. more
unpatriotic course could be advocated?
1t is the climax of greed. without one
spark of conscience. 1t is the acme OF
aVarlce, without a single redeeming
feature. 1t is the doctrine of a free
booter of the world. Ii is code of the
pirate of all the seas
In administering this warning the
representative from Ohio is also with
IN his legal rights because his party
unanimously approved of the pledge
made in April. 1898. and has never op-
emily repudiated the pledge AS late "a
last summer the republican national
convention formally renewed the
promise. 1t is encouraging to find a
republican member of congress far
sighted enough to see the dangers into
which the administration is hurryiug

A writer describing in a Philadel-
phia daily the methods of schools in
Germany, states that the manual train
ing schools in Germany are especially
intended for the class of boys who
idle away their time before and after
school on the street. The regular SeS-
sion closes at half past two o'clock
in the afternoon. and after this time,
the boys who are not properly and
BEAUTIFULLY employed must attend the
industrial school for the rest of the
day. In summer time the boys, divid-
ed into classes, each under the super
vision of a teacher, are trained sys-
tematically in all the branches of
gardening At other seasons of the
year the boys are engaged at various
light crafts in wOrkrooms, such as the
making of baskets, brushes and
brooms, and plain carpentry, where
the use Of tools is taught. Typesetting
and bOokbinding are taught to the ad-
vanced and older classes. Each boy
receives a small remuneration for his
work when it is faithfully and Obedi-
emily performed. The money, however.
is not paid to him directly but is put
into saving bank for him, and from
time to time he receives his certificate
of deposit. The girls are taught knit
ting and all kinds of sewing In the
same systematic manner. Every les
son is made class drill. The children
work by dictation, all in the room do
ing the same work at the same time

A HISTORIC HOME.
Rousseau's Famous Los Charmettes'
Ready for a Purchaser.

In all literature there is hardly any
house more famous than Les Char
mettes. that modest dwelling in Cham
berry where Jean Jacques Rousseau. the
renowned French philosopher, spent
the happiest years of his life and there
fore it is no wonder that the reading
public of Europe was considerably sur
prised and somewhat shocked when it
heard the other day that it had been
advertised for sale, says the st. Louis
Star. The advertisement read as fol-
lows: For Sale-Les Charmettes, the
historic home of Jean Jacques Rous-
seau, together with furniture, fields.
and orchard" In 1900 the house was
built, but it first became historic on
July 6, 1888, that being the day ON
which Nine. de Warens, Rousseau
friend, purchased it, together with "a
barn, meadowland, orchard, plowland,
vineyard, two oxen, two cows, ten
sheep. seven hens, and a cock" The
new owner occupied it at once and
Rousseau joined her there later in the
same year OF his life there one of his
French biographers says: ITO Nine. de
Warens the world is infinitely indebted
since it was she who provided this
man, the son of Geneva matchmaker.
with a home in which he had ample
opportunity TO improve himself and to
develop his many talents. Since 17S2
the year in which Rousseau's Comics
sions" were published, Les Charmettes
has been a Mecca for thousands of his
admirers from all parts of the world.
not year since that time passing in
which hundreds have not visited it and
reverently taken away from the little
flower garden some buds or leaves in
memory of him.
