WHICH2

The Middletown Transcript, in 6
leading editorial this week, has some
pertinent things to say regarding the
fight that is now on between the fac
tons OF the Republican party. For
some years the Transcript has been
rather conservative in its utterances
ON the subject Of factional politics, and,
therefore its opinions are worthy Of
close attention. II says:
The action Of the Union Republican
State Convention in refusing TO do its
plain duty, has born fruit in the nomi-
nation by the Regular Republicans OF
Kent and Sussex counties OF full county
tickets. including members Of the Leg
islature Had the delegates been per-
mitted TO exercise their own pest judg-
ment they would undoubtedly have en-
dorsed Congressman Ball, and this ac-
ton on their part would have been met
in the spirit of harmony by the Republi-
cans Of the two lower counties. AS il

1t is not surprising that planters and

THE CORONER AND THE Law

Coroner Fricks deputy expressed
himself to an Evening Journal re-
porter yesterday as being very indignant
ut an editorial suggestion that an in
quest over the victims Of the paper
mill tragedy should have been held
long ago. He informed the reporter
that there was no law compelling the
jury to view the remains We advise
the coroner 10 look up the law, for a
statement Of that nature shows that
he is ignorant Of the act which sets
forth his duties. 1t is not complicated,
and moments attention will make
the matter plain.
In chaper XXXIII of the Revised
Code is paragraph pertaining to the
oath OF jurors. They are compelled to
subscribe to the following:
"You do solemnly swear Tor affirm)
that you WIN diligently inquire into
the time. cause. manner and circum-
stances Of the death OF the person
whose body lies before you," etc.
Now how the jurors are to take that
oath when the dead men have been
buried. is hard to determine. We can
not see how anyone under the circum-
stances can qualify as juror, and We
shall be surprised II objections are not
made The law also provides for the
taking OF dispositions, and for their ad-
mission as evidence. The Coroner
claims to be postponing the inquest UNI
til a patient in the hospital shall re-
cover, in order TO give his testimony
But. suppose the patient should diel
Then we should have neither testimony
nor deposition.
Coroner Frick would do well to read
over section IA. also. It says:
If any person shall cause a body, OF
which an inquest ought TO be held, L
be buried without notice to the coroner
he shall be guilty OF mis-
demeanor. and shall be fined not lea
than ten. nor more than one hundre,
dollars" II does not say what the pen
atty is for a coroner who allows bodie,
to be buried without an inquest shal
be. That we leave to Coroner Frick
We regret that our statement OF tn
law should have been questioned, an
should have given offense. We onl
quote the law; We did not make it.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Coming Around
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
Mr.. Cantor has seen a light. A week
ago he was still insisting that he would
ne'er consent to the Pennsylvania tun-
mel franchise without his pet labor
clause. He has now discovered that,
while he still desires to bring the rail-
road to its acceptance, he Is, neverthe-
less. as determined as anybody that the
franchise shall be granted, and, having
obtained the most satisfactory terms
possible at the conference next week,
he will diligently promote the granting
Of the franchise. which he agrees is
OF the greatest Importance to the city.
There is not the slightest doubt that
the people Of the city as a whole want
the tunnel. They consider the terms
offered generally satisfactory. and.
while opinions may differ about some
details. they are of such trihing mo-
ment compared with the public benefit
to be derived from the new railroad
connection that longer delay on account
OF them would be regarded as utterly
inexcusable. The negotiation has
reached a stage whore the people want
final action. and IL is TO be hoped, as
much for the sake OF those at present
having power over the franchise as for
the city anxiously awaiting early con-
struction OF the tunnel, that the COM
ing conference of September II may be
followed by immediate action In the
Board Of Aldermen.

INFANTILE EDUCATION

Now that the public schools are
opened, and the young are again in the
educational treadmill we are moved
to enter plea for less stringency in
enforcing the rules governing the con-
duct Of the infant classes. Any sys-
tenn which imposes long periods OF
study on the children in the primary
grades, is wrong in principle, and may
amount to n crime. We have made a
fetish Of discipline, consequently all
efforts are bent towards crushing out
all the native exuberancy Of the little
ones. and we are satisfied and our sys-
tenn is vindlcated when we are able to
exhibit a lot of demure little boys and
girls which we call little ladies and
gentlemen"
Many Of these theories fail TO notice
the first principles governing child life,
The capacity OF the human brain is
limited. The brain Of the adult can
not concentrate itself on real intellec-
tual problems more than eight hours a
day. Beyond that it wanders, and re-
fuses to obey the command Of the will.
What, then, must be said OF the boy or
girl OF seven or eight years? Nature has
so constituted the infantile mind that
Il takes in and retains a knowledge of
things The senses are all active and
alive. and reason is undeveloped Edu-
cation should supplement Natures
plan, and not require OF the little ones
those difficult mental tasks embracing
long and close application. II is even
a question whether a child profits much
by the curriculum under the age Of
eight years. But certain II is that up
TO that age the attention should be
given largely to matters that appeal TO
the senses. A fund OF materials may
thus be gained through pleasurable
study, that will be OF vast service in
after life.
Infant classes should never be held
in long sessions. The normal child is
active and restless; his impulse is to do
a hundred things; and sustained atten-
ton. II IL Is ever possible, is forced.
Long sessions should be broken by
periods OF relaxation filed with gem
uine amusements; and our idea
of amusement does not necessarily har-
monize with that of the infantile mind.
Frequently to whisper or to nibble an
apple surreptitiously is made a crime
along with those of lying and stealing
and when punishments are inflicted, a
lot OF little rebels may be made. In
the home we put up with all the lido
syncrasies. whims and frailties Of child
hood until the age Of six arrives. Then
we start that infant Off to school. ex-
pecting the sobriety and earnestness OF
mature years. We are disappointed al
the result, and are grieved. But the
fault is with us and with the system
The school should begin with as little
break from the child's normal home
life as possible. Gradually tasks may
be increased, the discipline made more
pronounced and the tasks requiring a
concentration OF the reasoning facul.
ties. intensified. But let us not orusf
out the natural exuberance OF the littl,
ones. and mistake a demure manner
for real education, thus putting a pre-
MUM on prigs and hypocrites.

The Sussex Republican thus states
the relations OF the Union voters to
Addiclks. It is a rather striking like
ness:
Unless a man belongs TO a certain
family or gang il is no use to aspire TO

Of Frank Alice he must take a back
seat in Kent county, and unless he has
the support Of DIR. Layton, he is not
in 1t in Sussex. Men who have been
workers early and late for the Union
Republican ticket in the past are turn
ed down at the whim and wish of J.
Frank and Gale. These are leaders SCI
up by Addicks and Union Republicans

tion. Why man do, we fail to under.

The State senators to be nominated
are in the First. Third, Fifth and
Seventh. Sparks looks like winner

not so easy to calculate on.
1t is apparent that Addicks has made
it difficult for his candidates for rep
resentatives and senator's to win. His
forcing William Michael Byrne on the
voters against their wishes has embit-
tered the Union Republicans TO such an
extent many of the will have nothing to

1t is to be circusfed campaign and
Mike Byrne will be chief clown. His
recent performance was on the hippo
drome order with Addiclzs cracking the
whip.
1t will not be necessary for Addicks
to invite oratorical talent to assist
William Michael Byrne in his whirl-
wind campaign.
Byrne's navigator should have
steered him clear OF Addicks' domestic
life. 1t was a trifle embarrassing, but
Byrne has promised not to refer to it
again in any OF his campaign eruptions.
It is hoped that Byrneism will not be-
come a disease. There is a remedy,
however. which, will respond quickly
if the voters think it necessary to ad-
minister the treatment

late President Mckinley did not say
to w. r. Finn that Addicks and Du-
Pont would be acceptable to- him. Will

statement. was laboring under delu-
sion.

isfied with the nomination of Mike

other name would create the same de-
pressing effect upon the Republican

will find about one half of the vote
missing If Byrne remains on the ticket.
The Regular or Democrat who would
vote for the Addicks choice for Con-
