This retarded the work of the shifting

been removed and now they are so

Senate will suit England The radical
point of difference is that two thirds e
the Senate believe in American control OF
the Canal, while England doesn't.
Nothing but praise is heard of the action
of Mr.. Mckinley, taken in response to Il
written request of Senator Daniel, of Nir
ginia, in ordering that the Washington
relics, which have for some years been on
exhibition in the National Museum, be re-
stored to their proper owner, Gen. G.. W.
c. Lee, Of Virginia, son of Gen. Il. +.
Lee from whose house, at Arlington, the
relics were taken at the opening of the
Civil War. While it was action that
should have voluntarily been taken years
ago, by some president, Mr.. Mckinley is
entitled to credit for taking it, even at
this late day, and to more credit for the
manly letter to Senator Daniel in which
he announced his intention to do so.
All the administration influence will be
used to g. Minister E. H. Conger nomi
mated for Governor by the Iowa republic
cans. Not because it loves Congcr over
well or desires to see him honored, but
because it doesn't wish him to return to
China as United States Minister nor to
tell him that he cannot. In other words
for purely selfish reasons, the administra
ton wishes Mr.. Conger nominated for
Governor of Iowa. He displeased the ad-
ministration several times during the
negotiations in Pekin. and he has dis
pleased it again by his published inter
views since he reached the United States,
but his standing with the powerful mis-
sionary element in this country is such
that the administration is afraid to kick
him out of the diplomatic service.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April Goth.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April Goth.
MIR. EDIToR:-Mr. McKinley's record
breaking Presidential free excursion left
Washington to- day on its little jaunt of
1851 miles. The special train consists
of seven Pullman cars, each selected as
the most elegant of its kind. The trip
will cost thousands of dollars. but it is
doubtful whether cent of it will come
out of the pocket of any one Of the SO
passengers. Secretary Cortelyou was
thoroughly alive to the advertising posi-
bilities of the tip when he arranged that
more than fourth of the passengers
should be newspaper men, and be took
care that there should be artists among
them. Also, that good photographer
should be on the train, as well as telegraph
operators. There are nine ladies to keep
Mrs. Mckinley's company, and DR.. RiXey
is on hand to look after her health and
that of the rest of the party.
The members of that Cuban Committee
left Washington hugging the .delusion that
Mr. Mckinley's promise to appoint Com
mlssloners to negotiate a reciprocity treaty
with Cuba, as soon as Cuba had govern
|, ment to negotiate with, meant something
tangible Unless the Senate should treat
it better than it did the whole bunch of
reciprocity treaties negotiated by the
present administration, the actual negotia-
ton of such treaty would be meaning

home in a good humor and that was doubt
less all it was intended to do. The Cubans
on their side promised to do their best to
get the Constitutional convention to &C.
cept the Platt amendment 1t will soon
be apparent whether their promise was
worth any more than Mr.. Mckinley's.
Secretary Hay announced before he left
Washington that he had secured suffi-
GENTLY definite statement of Senatorial
views to inform him just what sort of a
new Isthmian Canal treaty with England
would be sure to receive the support of
two thirds of the Senators. Senators who
ought to know something about the views
of their colleagues on this subject think
that this announcement was like many
others made in the diplomatic world
misleading without being untrue One of
them said: ANY Senator could have told
Mr.. Hay off hand just what sort of
treaty would be sure of ratification by the
Senate-the amended Hay Pauncefote
treaty was one sort but that didn't suit
ngland, and, unless there is some craw-
fishing in England, it is very doubtful that
any treaty that will suit two-thirds of the

GRADED AND UNGRADED
SCHOOLS.

With the progress of human thought
in every direction and the tendancy
to adapt all modern methods to the re-
quiremenis Of the times, it is not sur.
prisng that the system of graded
schools should be found to possess Ger.
tain defects, for the correction of which
progressive educators are suggesting
remedies.
Not very long since the supelintend.
ent Of public schools in New Castle
Penn, advanced the idea that the
graded system does not provide sufii,
GENTLY for the individual differences OF
the pupils. After noting the fact that
the children of every school differ in
age, i'll requirements, in aptitude, i'll
physical endurance, in power of atten.
ton, in home advantages, in the rate
of mental development and in many
other ways, this superintendent points
out three distinct ways in which tho
graded school works harm. 81. Many
schools grade for the bright pupil In
this case all the rest will be dragged
or pushed over more work than they
can understand. Yet many wonder
why GO per cent. Of the children do no,
60 to school more than three years
2. Many more schools are graded fol
the slower pupils. This is a manifest
outrage upon the many who could &C
on more rapidly. Habits Of inatten
ton and Incidence are thus necessarily
drilled Into the brighter ones, and the
habit of doing their best at all times
gives way to their being satisfied with
getting along. 3. By far the largest
number Of schools are graded for the
the average pupil. Nothing could be
more absurd. Neglecting the ever
present individual pupil of flesh ant
OiOoN SOul anu lllt, We lIIcInD G u
shape for the mythical average pupil
In either way of grading the method
fails to respect the needs of the ind
viduals.''
These defects are said to be correct
ed by making classes smaller and by
having shorter recitations and more
of them. The examination as a test
for promotion is abandoned and the
pupils ability to do the work of tho
next higher grade is determined by
the record of daily class work.
The results mean saving of time
and improved mental habits for the
pupils. Innovations upon established
and accepted methods are often bene
fetal.

MARYLAND'S RESOURCES.

The great Pan-A merican Exposition
was opened at Buffalo on Wednesday.
the Baltimore Suns correspondent
speaks Of The Maryland exhibit as fol-
lows:
"The mineral resources of Maryland
make big show for small State.
Georgia, allowing twice as much for
similar exhibit, is mot in it" with
Maryland. Professor Clark has Sc
cured complete collection Of the min
eral resources Or Maryland and has ar
ranged the exhibit in systematic order,
showing material from the basic rock
upward and including all the marketa-
bic material which abounds with us,
including building stone of every va
riety, coal, clays, porcelain material
and the manufa ,tured products. This
magnificent display Of Maryland is a
surprise even to biologists, who since
the establishment of the geological
survey of Maryland have taken great
interest in the resources of the State.
knowledge Of this material lying so
easily accessible and close to cstab-
lished lines of transportation is bound
to open new sources OF wealth.
In addition to showing the minerals,
the Clark exhibit shows all the varie-
ties of soils of the State and the crops
they are best adapted to produce The
variety Of soils is very great, owing to
the peculiar Typographical formation
of the State, the large part which is,
in fact, the great basin of the Chesa-
peake bay. Into the lowlands of this
remarkable basin is brought the wash
OF the mountains and the disintegrated
rocks and the rich river mud from
many streams, some Of which, like the
Susquehanna, have their rise hundreds
of miles away, far up in tue State Of
New York.
In other departments of the Pan
American Exposition the manufactu-
rers Of Baltimore and other cities and
towns are represented by individuals
exhibitors, but not to the extent de-
sired or expected. 1t is thought. how
ever, that later on much more of tt e
space applied for will be filled, and by
the time everybody else is in good
shape Maryland manufacturers will
make display fully in keeping with
the resources they have at command
for great industrial enterprises.

from present indications, there is every

his nomination is already recognized by
the leaders in enough districts to assure
him the nomination at the County Con-

classes-the laborer, farmer, merchant,
lawyer, etc.,-paces him in the light of
being the strongest candidate that could
be advanced for the State Senatorship
nomination. His views on questions in
volving the public welfare have always
proved to be broad and sound. He now
stands unalterably for a constitutional
convention While his, the 14th election
