BAD SPELLING.

Only Sc out Of 141 freshmen at the
Northwestern university were able to
pass an examination in spelling. They
were tested with ordinary words, not
with difficult and perplexing ones; and
the test was toomuch for most of them.
Probably similar examinations at al
most any American university would
show substantially the same results.
Spelling is not an accomplishment in
which college youths excel. Nor do
the graduates Of the common schools
distinguish themselves in this useful,
but now somewhat superciliously re-
garded branch. The letters of the
average public school graduate or uni
versity graduate are likely to be pro
life in bad spelling
Prof. Clark, of the Northwestern
university, says the trouble iswith the
so-called scientific" method of teach
ing spelling. The public schools turn
out graduates who have learned with
great pains how not to spell The I'M
dergraduates and graduates Of the col
leges probably spell little or consid-
erably worse than the public school
children
But the great thing is the method.
Nothing can equal the pity which the
enthusiasts of the new method bestow
upon children who have learned tc
spell without reliance upon it. Spell
ing is nothing: method is everything.
Let us remember that, when we come
across a fantastic or laundering speller
The worse he spells, the more superior
is the method by which he came to that
pre-eminence as a muddler and twistel
of photography.

THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.
General Luddington, Quartermastef
General, Has Made His Report

Washington, Nov. TN the annual
report Of General NJ l. Luddingtou,
Quartermaster general, the most inter.
esting feature is what he has to say
regarding the transports, in view OF
the desire in some quarters to dispose
of them. He said that the ships ara
fitted up in the best possible shape
for the transportation of troops and
that reports Of foreign nations have
asked for plans of the fittings with
a view Of improving their transports,
The report continues:
Nearly every ship sailing from Ma.
Mia had on board about 100 sick, who
were provided with every attention
and comfort in the transport hospitals
that would be found in any well-regu-
lated hospital ashore
"Of the many thousands of persons
who have been transported on the YES
sells Of the army transport service
since its inception, not one life has
been sacrificed by reason of any fault
in the fittings or accommodations up
on the army Transports
In view Of this excellent record and
of the experience of the department in
its futile efforts to secure suitable
commercial ships for the transporta,
ton of the armies during the war
with Spain and that the further fact
that when withdrawn from active ser.
vice a transport cannot be advanta.
geously disposed Of by sale, I am firm.
ly convinced that, even though cir.
cumstances should permit the with.
drawal of the transports from regular
line service to the Philippine islands
it would be wise policy to retain a
sufficient number of transports as a
part Of the equipment of the army tc
be economically cared for"

DUTY OF DEMOCRACY.

The party, as a party, needs to haul
in sail and to keep before the wind. II
has been undertaking too much, prom.
Using too much, and thus by doing
nothing, discrediting itself. One can
not be pilot and surgeon at one and
the same time. 1t is for Democracy to
steer between socialism on the one
hand and expediency on the other
hand. To ally tradition with progress
to identify expansion with freedom; to
cleanse the Augean stables by pro-
cess Of evolution, not revolution. and
to hold the money power within bounds
without impairing the public credit
and order, these are the lessons Dem
ocrats have to set themselves and to
learn; and, as we master them and put
them in practice, shall we confirm our
usefulness as national force, aud re-
cover the power which fatuous. blind
incompotency threw away.

The fact that Odell was reelected in
New York and that the Republicans re-
tain control of the house did not serve
to give the bulls in the stock market
an advantage, In fact, stocks sagged
and went off point or so. This result
is not without its gratifying features.
The spectators have had too much
swing. They have endangered bust
ness more than once in the last few
months, and dullness on the stock ex-
change can be borne by the country
with equanimity. The legitimate com.
mercial and financial interests of the
nation seem to be able to get along un
til money again becomes easier; and
as for the Spectators, they can do like
the people over the river, wait for the
ferry to return for them.

HIGH TIME TO ANNEX CUBA
Failure Of Congress 70 Adopt Reel
procity Resolution Proves Serious.

LOUISVILLE. Aug. Ia" Unless
Cuba is annexed 10 the United states
within a year 1t will never be" said
G. Castellanos, of Havana, who was
here last night If the United States
wants the island, now is the time for
them to get it. The people are poor
and there is no demand for the sugar
and tobacco, the principal products.
The failure of congress to adopt the
reciprocity resolution was q great
bio VITO the island but We think we
shall find a demand for our sugar in
Europe. When this is done our people
will become prosperous and all will op-
pose annexation. But now. with the
hard times staring them in the face
"a great many Cubans favor annexa-
ton. This is especially true with the
wealthy classes. They want to sell
their products and realize the benefits
they would personally derive by hav-
ing an open market.
1T will take several years to bring
order out of chaos and establish pros
perity. But when this is done the
people will be satisfied and will oppose
any effort toward annexation.
