MORNING FRIDAY OCTOBER Is ol

ness to the grievous plight to which the high hopes of industrial expansion, en- tertained but few years ago have since been reduced, and to the grave is suffering. It then goes on to remark that the very word "crisis" is beginning to lose it's significance of condition presumably temporary There is more
 of the nature of a permanency threat ening the existing condition of industri-
 al affairs generally, the causes below
 the surface lying far too deep for mere
 ly passing remedies, and far too inti-
 mately intertwined with the prevailing
 principles, organization and customs to permit of any speedy hopes of change. A variety of causes the report says, as the rapid development of manufac- ture in the United States and Germany, the scarcity and dearness of fuel and the loss of purchasing power among the peasants, but chief among them is the sudden collapse of all sorts of enter prises, established on the faith of gov ernment orders during the great rail- road building era, and doomed to ruin as soon as government patronage was withdrawn. With them have been swept away the savings of tens of thou sands Of shareholders all over the coun- try.
 expansion in the United States are not quite as high as they were, but nothing like that which has happened in Russia Is in sight

4 SAFE DEcIARArIoN.

The Rhode Island Republicans held their State convention day before yes- terday and declared" as follows con- cerning reciprocity: We favor reel procity treaties with foreign nations, based on the protective principle, trea- ties which shall extend our commerce and bring our citizens an adequate re- turn for what we concede, but which shall not imperil the interests of Amer ican farmers or American laborers, nor reduce wages to the level of European nations
 This seems like safe declaration. If 1t can be carried into action there can be no doubt that the United States will continue to get it's full share of the good things going.

Progress of the schley Case.

I've read the Schley case every day
 And weighed the evidence; I've calmly tried to figure out
 The wherefore and the whence; I've tried to learn the truth about
 The loop they say was made; I've read through all the stories of
 The part the Brooklyn played, And the only thing I'm certain of
 Are that the charts are wrong, And that the smoke was thick enough
 To shovel right along; I've learned that naval officers
 Are reckless on the guess; What Higgins calls mile Magee
 Calls fifty yards or less; I've learned that eighty tons of coal
 Will last a ship day, And that 1t takes three hundred tons To steam ten knots away; I've learned that In battle all
 The captains go ahead Each one his own commander by
 No higher leader led, And that the fearless admiral
 Who always keeps in sight Gives signals to the rest of them,
 And so directs the fight; I've learned that when it's over, when The battle has been won, The hard work of the heroes has,
 In fact, but just begun, And I've found out that the fellow wh Was right there on the spot Knows just as much about it as The people who were not. -S. F. Riser in Chicago Record Herald.

yHE HIGH SCHOOL.

The criticism of the high school decade doesn't seem to have had much effect. There has been a great increase in that time in the number of public high schools in the country. Only 2,526 of them were counted by the census taker in 1890. Last year the count was COOS. There has been an equivalent
 increase in the number of pupils, the total being 5200O0 in 1900.
 In spite of the fact that criticism of the high school hasn't been very effec- tive during the last decade it will prob ably continue through the decade that has begun. A lively example of it ap- peared in the discussion in Boston the other day when President Hall of Clark University asserted that the high school work of the country was very unsatisfactory and was not improving. And he did not base this judgment on the fact that the high schools do not fit for college properly. On the other hand he said that college entrance ex- aminations had dominated high school teaching to its detr:ment and that the thing which must be reversed is ''the present almost feudal dominance of college influences" The view of this college president is that the high schools should become the true peo- ple's college, permeated by the idea of fitting for life, by the largest develop ment possible for every community, and with plenty of local color" When that Is accomplished President Hall be- lieves that our education will become To reach this end he would restore the old dignity and indepen- dence of secondary teaching and do away with that "feudal dominance of colleges" already alluded to.

FRENCH MILITARY TACTICS.

.
 ! The Boer war has cost the British
 much, but it has also taught them much that may be of value if they have
 to fight again soon. The recent man.
 euVers in France have made English military critics feel that the French are
 away behind the times in military
 skill. These critics admit the mobility
 of the French troops, their complete
 arrangements for every event of the
 march, their use of bicycles and motor
 cars and their perfect equipment gen.
 orally. The French cannon are said to
 be the best in the world. But their
 sham battles are described as pa
 thetic" in their unreality. Uniforms
 are still of bright colors, making con-
 spicuous targets. Non commissioned
 officers carry swords, long sword bay onets are sported, flags are Haunted in
 front of the battalions and the cavalry
 wear a shining brass helmet. Organi- zation is perfect and the conveniences of warfare are amply provided, but the tactics-not taking account of the long range of the Mauser rife and of the modern cannon-are anticipated.
 The contention of the French officers
 and in this the German officers sus- tain them-is that in maneuvers at- tacks have to be made in close order at moderate distances, or there can be no maneuvers at all. If the armies en- gagged in the attack and defense were stretched out over lines forty or fifty miles long-as they would be in real battles-the game would not be well played because nobody could see it all, Maneuvers cannot be expected to real ize all the conditions of actual war fare. They give opportunity for train ing in certain things and for testing equipment, but they are confessedly only play-not the real thing. In man. euvers infantry, for the convenience of may stand up in front of an enemy only two hundred yards distant or expose itself freely to cannon 1000 yards off, but in real fighting these dis tances would not be allowed. The | French say that such follies are in- | from merely mimic war, but | there Is no apparent desire on their | part to adopt the new tactics.

K The Baltimore Reform League has
 issued an address to the voters of
 Maryland condemning the action of the
 legislature, in special session, in adopt
 ing a new election law, designed to Z disfranchise the illiterate negroes syy,rylli.,c 1t is not expected that those who
 planned the new law will derive any special advantage from it, its enact Eaent is regarded by the League as an indication of a purpose to further
 weaken the laws which protect the freedom and purity of the suffrage, The pledge of the Republicans in the State convention to repeal the new election law, and to enact corrupt practices act. is noted, as also the nesa- tive action oe the Democratic conven- tion on these subjects, and voters are urged to put aside partisanship in the choice of members of the legislature.

The name of the president is Rosy welt" not "Roosefelt." The indiscrim- inate pronunciation of the presidents name by the hundreds of callers who throng the White House these days has resulted in an official and authorized statement of the correct way in which the name of the chief executive should be pronounced. This statement an- nuunces: "The accent is on the first of three syllables, and this first syllable Is spronounced with the long sound of the letter O. as in the word rose, and not as in the word goose The first letter se' Is also sounded, and the entire name Is spoken as though it were written .Rosyvelt' The statement concludes that all other ways of pronouncing the presidents name, of which there is a great variety are incorrect.
