THEY Hr0aN WRONG.

The Birmingham Ledger a few days ago spoke of the fact that there haa been three examinations of cadets at the United States Naval Academy and yet the classes are not full because "the ys'cannot pass the examinations" The applicants are from all sections of the country and all labor under the same disabiiity-a lack of education. As The Ledger says, if the applicants were well grounded in the pri- college. the naval academy would now be, full to it's limit instead of having @ large number of vacancies" and the paper adds:
 It Is q shame to be published to the world as Q nation that neglects the pri- mary education of its youth who are fit to be its naval oficers. The sad truth is that too many boys are not ready to be- gin their real studies. when sent to An napoiis.
 As before remarked. no one section of the Union can boast over the other, or can criticise the other on the conditions here stated. It is almost entirely the fault of our educational system. We say almost entirely" because there are occasional instances where no system could prepare boy for a successful ex- animation. but these cases are rare. As general thing the fault lies in the modern methods of teaching. At the same time we do not agree with The Ledgers intimation that the boys real studies should begin at Annapolis. That is getting the cart ahead of the horse. The real study should begin in the pri- mary schools, and should continue through all the grades in the common schools of the country. The idea that a boy who knows a little of everything, and who is far from perfect in anything, is prepared to enter college, or is fitted to enter on the practical duties of life, is an erroneous and exceedingly hurtful one. We have discussed this phase of the educational system SC often that it is useless to enlarge on it, but just so long as the boys are not expected to begin their real studies" till they get to col lege just that long will we have the humliating conditions of which The Ledger speaks.

Fusionist of the school in vogue from 1890 to 1900 has been elected as a member of the new House of Representatives Nor is there any prospect of the Sen ate's carrying on its rolls a third party statesman of any sort after Mach 3, 1903.
 Indeed. certain members of the upper House. hitherto accredited with afnlla- tions more or less exceptional and ir- regular, have made haste to announce their attachment to one or other of the two firmly seated and established polit- ical parties. Mir. Harris of Kansas, chosen as a Populist, follows the exam have himself classified in the next ses- sion's directory as a Democrat MT. Tel Ter had already, like MT. Dubois, dropped his associations with the moribund sill yer Republican organization, and had been accepted last winter by the Dem ocratic caucus into unconditional fel- lowship.
 MT. Wellington and MT. McLaurin alone remain in that list of detached and unidentified statesmen which has cost the Senate chroniclcrs so many doubts and hesitations in the last ten years. But they are only casual wander CTS and have never been enlisted in any of the fantastic third party movements which have long composed and tangled the lines of old-fashioned party divisions.
 MT. McLaurin remains an Independent Democrat. What Mir. Wellington is this month or may he next a wearied world has ceased from troubling itself about. Both he and MT. McLaurin will step down and out March next, and with their departure the keeper of the Sen ate's records can straighten out his last criss-cross in partisan affiliations.
 Movements like that which gave the Populist and Free Silver organizations their mushroom growth sweep sometimes like summer storms across the face of American politics. But their fury soon spends itself, and their sudden and com plete exhaustion devoves again on the two tried and proved political parties dens of legislation and government which they alone are fitly trained or adequately equipped to bear.

JOHN BROWN AND EMERSON.

That old freebooter, John Brown whose body long since moldered in the grave, and whose soul is alleged to still go march ing on," is recalled to living men by the death in this town of the widow of Hay wood Shepherd, the negro keeper of the station gate at Harpers Ferry and first man killed by Brown on his infamous raid. That was in 1859. Shepherd, who was described as "a tall black man, with decidedly African features reused to surrender his keys to Brown, and for that act of loyalty to his employer he was shot dead by the notorious raider. The murdered man was buried at Win chester and at his funeral was accorded public honors by the State of Virginia. At Harper's Ferry and Winchester he had been long and greatly respected for his loyalty.
 Shepherds widow. who was buried to- day, was in her SSth year. and enjoyed the respect of the entire community. She was accounted a woman of rare courage ard industry. Of the six children left with her when her husband was mur- dered. four survive her.
 The passions aroused by John Brown are nowhere so brutally and bitterly illus trated as in that foullV blasphemous phrase of Ralph Waldo Emersons that Browns hanging made ''the scaffold glo- rious as the cross.'

A Democratic Platform.

Indianapolis News.
 Renew allegiance to the Constitution says MT. Watterson. And what does that mean? It means, on the Jeffersonian the ory, that the Constitution confers only limited powers and that all not explicitly granted are reserved to the States. That Is simply a precise way of stating belief in local f-government and the great est liberty possible to the individnri. the Government to do nothing that the in dividual can do. From such simple program (so simple is all truth follows freedom of trade and the collection of no more money by taxation than the needs of the Government thus limited call for This doctrine lies nearer to the hearts of more Americans than any oth- CT. But can the Democratic Party cleave to 1t? Or has 1t gone hopelessly astray and lost the power of vital response? There has been nothing to show that the latter is not the case since the Bryan istic delusion first took Democratic req son prisoner. Time only can tell whether the old name Is potent enough to stand for its early or only its later definition. If the latter, t--n new party will in time arise to c:1body the old principles.

SLOW WORK AMONG CUBANs.
"our Diplomacy in Cuba Has Been Unfortunate" in Some Respects.

Our Oiplomacy III CuDa Has seen
 Unfortunate" in Some Respects. Hartford Courant
 It is to be regretted that MT. H. G. Squiers, our Minister to Cuba, is not more familiar with the tariff questions that constitute the main subject of dis cussion between the two countries.
 There is no doubt great ignorance in Cuba in regard to per centages of tariff rates and their exact economic and social effects. This is not strange-the whole business of fiscal government is an un- traversed region for the Cubans. Pres ident Palma's position in these circum- stances Is unusually delicate For him to seem to play the SchoolmaSter to his official associates is an ungracious task and no doubt repugnant to his natural sense of courtesy Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, during his special mission on this sub- ject. may help to enlighten the Cubans somewhat-although it is to be remem- master in three weeks the mathematical knowledge necessary to adjust tariff rates upon actual business interests wise ly and beneticially, and in particular so that no lurking suspicion abides of haY- ing made a bad bargain. For steady, continuous, and intelligent instruction in this important matter both this country and the Cubans themselves ought to be able to depend upon our minister.
 As matter of fact our diplomacy in Cuba has been unfortunate General and now Mir. Squiers receives assistance in the essential part of the relation which he was sent to Havana to sustain In time the snarl will be untangled but for a fast country, Intellectually, we are unquestionably very slow about it.
