New schools in Cuba.

Since the American occupation of
Cuba 5000 new schools have been
opened, and many reforms have been
brought about in their educational
system. Some idea of their work can
he obtained from their exhibit at the
Pan-American exposition, for which
they were awarded five gold and four
silver medals. This is certainly a
wonderful record, and one we should
all be proud of. There is also won-
derful record behind Hostetter's Sto-
mach Bitters, the famous American
remedy for indigestion, dyspepsia,
flatulency, biliousness, nervousness
and insomnia. If you are troubled
with any of these ailments we would
urge you to- try it. 1t is also a
splendid blood purifier, and should be
in every household. Our private
stamp is over the neck of the bottle.

As to Discipline.

Rules for discipline are made
largely as needed. Pupils generally
are given to understand that amy
curtailment of their freedom of ac-
ton grows out of necessity arising
from their conduct. Hence, from
time To time, as new regulations are
needed they are promulgated and
when no longer needed lapse by dis
use. The object and tendency of this
is to inculcate i'm the pupil the spirit
of responsibility toward his fellow pu-
pill and the school generally"

senators from the west rallied about Bur
rows and the Boxer combination was the
noisiest group Of fighters in the senate.
They numbered only dozen out Of the
81 Republican senators, but they made al
the noise. Burrows Is now only second in
command. Elkins has taken the chief COM
mand by reason OF his superior qualities
as boss. The oloer senators were rather
surprised to see Burrows stick out so
long as a Boxer after he had been super
seeded by Elkins as chief in command, but
they did not count on the fascination Of
being a boss, even a secondary boss, over
a small group of Boxers.

Nelson was born in Norway, came to
this country In 1S49, and located in Chica-
go, where he carried news route on the
north side and at the same time learned
something of politics in that school which
graduated Henry Hertz and so many 9TH
er politicians. He then went to Wisconsin
and became a member of the legislature.
Two years later he moved across into
Minnesota and INTO the legislature Of that
state. He ran the political gamut in that
great state. filling the offices of legislator,
governor, congressman and senator. He Is
the most popular man in Minnesota.

adherence to political platforms for hts

perhaps. but that is not the spirit by
which noblest results are achieved In
the matter Of character.
II has been noticed for years that the
small college produced a greater num-
Der Of men of the first magnitude than
the great and opulent universities.
Perhaps the explanation is found in
the business methods" acquired by
reason OF increased wealth Of the large
institutions, and the loss of that I'M
commercial spirit impaired by them
through self-sacri1cing ministerial
presidents IN the days of poverty ana
struggle.
Thomas Arnold, the preacher princf-
pal OF Rugby, left a deeper impress on
England than any of the heads OF the
rich universities who were his contem-
poraries. We shall become poor in
deed If we retire our Arnolds to make
place for gentlemen famous only as
business men" There are some things
money can not buy and for the loss or
which millions can not compensate US.
In the matter OF preachers and coli
leges wish to add one other reflection.
viz, that America owes TO the Christian
churches and the Christian ministry OF
the county the most and the best Of her
colleges. Years ago the editor of Scrib-
ner's Monthly, the notable ]. @. Hol-

what are the great institutions OF

hardly one of these that did not have
its birth in, and has not had its growth
from Christianity. The founders OF all
these institutions. more particularly
those of greatest influence and largest
facilities, were christian men. who
worked simply in the interest Of their
master.
The special scientific schools that
have been grated upon these instltu-
tions are children of the same parents.

Christianity Is the undoubted and the
indisputable mother of the scientific
culture of the country. But for her our
colleges would never have been built,
our common schools would never have
been instituted Wherever a free

is not reciprocity. We want free hides"
So it is with Senator Nelson. He wants
reciprocity with some other mans goods,
not those of Minnesota He is the firm
est and most obstinate fighter against
Cuban reciprocity and his fight is be-
cause he favors tariff reform or revision.
The older senators respect Nelson's
views more than they do those OF the
other Boxers, because they recognize
that he is independent of party platforms
and votes as his convictions direct, how
ever inconsistent these may be when put
together.

doing all the bossing so far as talk goes.
