Mr.. CIeUeLaHd Speaks.

At the Democratic banquet
held in New York June 10, to
celebrate the opening of the
handsome new quaters Of The
Tilden Club, Grover Cleve-
land made one OF his great
speeches, full OF common sense
and sound reasoning. Alter
an earnest plea for the union
Of the factions of the Demo
cratic party, Mr.. Cleveland
closed with the following;
My days of political activity are past
and shall not hereafter assume to par.

Under a decision Just rendered by
one of the higher courts OF the state Of
New York, school teachers become re-
sponsible for assault and battery when
they administer corporeal punishment.
The doctrine laid down by the court is
that when a boy pays his tuition fee
at a school he enters into a contract
relation and may not be expelled by his
teachers when his conduct appears to
them p%rejudicial to the welfare Of the
school, nor has the teacher the right to
punish the boy for m~isbehavior or 6is-
obedience. This is all very we'll for
the boy who pays his tuition fee, but
how about the boy who misbehaves in
a free public school? Does the pay
ment of tuition exempt the rich mans
ishment for misbehavior, viii the poor
mans boy is liable to such punishment
without redress? Another point sug-
gested by the New York Tribune is,
does the schoolmaster or the court keep
school? Is the power of discipline SO
far handed over to the judges that the
teacher, like the police commissioner,
cannot expel an unruly or untrust-
worthy person from the body under his
control without the commission Of a
crime? II so, the bad boy has reason
to rejoice. If he keeps within the letter
Of previously established rules and does
not tell any lies that can be proved
against him in a court of justice he is
safe. Even if he is finally brought to
books he can for weeks shake an in
junction in the schoolmaster's face and
pose as a hero before the other boys.

PRAISE ZOE AMERICAN SCIENTIST

hhAoH run h"hHANAN bbAHNA
The eminent English scientist, Lord
Kelvin, now in this country, In an ad-
dress on the occasion of a reception
given him a few days ago, took issue
with those who have been asserting
that in t~horoughness as well as in Gre
alive force the American scientists do
not match those of England or those of
the continent Of Europe. After re-
ferring to the achievements of the engi-
neers who worked out the problem of
the deposit ON the oceans bed of a
transatlantic cable, Lord Kelvin came
to recent achievements and spoke of
The triumphs of Edison n of Tesla.
He referred to the ~latter's share in the
development of Niagara's power so that
it would be of commercial utility and
her paid tribute to Edison, emphat-
ically acknowledging his claim to dis
tinction as the inventor Of apparatus
that made of commercial utility for
lighting purposes the electric current.
He also spoke of the revolutionary in
vention of Bell. Here were three
American achievements in the most
beneficial way revolutionary, observes
the New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, which had created
millions of new wealth and had been of
inestimable service in the advancement
Of comfort and prosperity, whose pre-
eminent importance the eminent English
scientist sketched. In a subsequent
interview Lord Kelvin said that the
most wonderful progress made in this
country has been in the practical use
Of electricity, stating that in this re-
spect we are much in advance Of Eng
land. In the use of electricity as an
Illuminating power, he said, London is
still very far behind New York, while
electric lighting is not used on the Eng
lish railroads except in the Pullman
cars.
There is doubtless some truth in the
assertion that American scientists as a
whole are somewhat less thorough than
those of Europe, but it will not be ad
mitted that they are inferior to the
Europeans in creative force, while as to
th%oroughness certainly some Of our sci
entists are excelled by those of no other
country. PROFESSIONALLY American sci
entists can learn much Of Europeans,
but it is also true that the latter are
acquiring knowledge from the Amer
leans.

THE VALLEY OF UNREST.
Frank L. Stanton in Atlanta Constitution

Frank L. Stanton in Atlanta Constitution.
This is the valley of sweet unrest,
Where we dream the dreams that we love
the best,
Meath a dying sun in a darkening west;
And after the dreams
We wake In pain,
And pray to God
To dream again
In the dim, deep valley of sweet unresti
This is the valley OF sweet unrest;
The child, in a dream, seeks the mothers
And the lips of Love to our lips are
pressed.
And we wake and weep
That the dreams are vain,
And cry to God
To dream again
In the desolate valley of sweet unrestt
III.
Alas, for the valley of sweet unrestl
To live for a dream in a dream unblest-
The locks of Love by a dream caressed!
Never the dew
OF the bloom TO drain,
Famished for sunlight
And starved for rain,
With that sigh of eternity-"God knows
best!"

The omnibus building bill, which is
nearly ready for passage in the house,
contains an appropriation Of $300,OOO
for the construction of the Lincoln post
office building. A more sensible and
practical thing would have been to make
the appropriation for the construction of
an entirely new building and the taking
down Of the unsightly old stone pile
that has served its day and purpose. In
cidentally, 1t should not be forgotten
that under the very peculiar system Of
public building construction about $780,
600 Of the 100000 appropriated will be
absorbed by the architects Office at
Washington for plans, supervision and

Wealthy men who get into trouble
raising the dust by racing their auto
mobiles at a speed in excess of that
prescribed by law and ordinance should
devote their money and bend their
ey srgies to the early perfection of the
flying machine. When they are able
to make tracks through the atmosphere
they will certainly be under no injunc-
tons to look out for pedestrians, baby
carriages, bicycles or trolley cars. To
be sure, the aerial vehicles may possibly
become in time so numerous that reg
ular paths of locomotion will have to
be blocked out and the turning points
on the charts located by floating buoys
OF some sort, but the speed limit can
be showed up almost indefinitely.
Searching will never be an unallOyed
pleasure until the airship opens up the
full possibilities of dOuble-qulck nav
igation.

Nerve of the Nebraskan Who Wrote
His own Funeral Sermon.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A Nebraska man wrote his own funeral
sermon, and, as the modesty OF the average
Nebraska man is we'll known, it may be
assumed that he treated his subject in an
impersonal and extremely delicate fashion.
And yet 1t is difficult to imagine a more
embarrassing theme under the circum-
stances. The tendency to overpraise might
not be strong, and yet there would surely
be a desire to set ones self in as good a
light as possible at this last appearance on
any stage. Nevertheless, 1t can scarcely be
imagined that the maker OF the sermon
could have any desire to initiate the effort
OF that clergyman who paid a wonderfully
hattering tribute to a man who had made
himself notorious by his parsimony and by
his entire lack Of sympathy for his fellow
men. The dead mans partner In business
was present at the services and during the
sermon was observed to rise and step for
ward to the casket. Somebody asked him
later what prompted him to do this.
why" he replied, II was afraid / had
made a mistake and got into the wrong
house."

SOME STRIKING FIGURES.

In his speech at the Indiana repub-
lican state CONVEX ion Senator Bever-
idge presented some striking figures,
undoubtedly obtained from official
sources, showing the material progress
and prosperity Of the last few years.
He said the farmers of the country are
worth $1,220,OOO,O 900 more today than
before the war with Spain, that the
manufacturers have increased their
productive investments over $500, 000,-
600 since that war began, and that the
wOrkingmen in factories alone are earn
ing $5OO,0O0,0 900 more wages every year
than before the period of expansion.
He pointed out that American work
men have on deposit in savings banks
today over 81, ZOO, 900, that where
4,251,613 w~age-earners were employed
in manufacture ten years ago, nearly
100000 ~workingmen are earning
higher, wages now in the single occupa-
ton of manufacture alone. He stated
that American farmers in the last six
years have paid mortgages on their
aims W lHC dLlOuuI VI POOOtOOOgOOO
"and the American farmer could today
with his live stock alone pay the entire
national debts of England and Germany
and still have over $520,0OO, 900 left. In
regard to the foreign commerce of the
country he showed that during the
period from March 1, 1897, until March
1, 1902, five years, the American people
sold to the rest of the world $780,
934,462 and bought 1892, 923, 500. In
these five years the balance of trade in
favor of the United States reached
81, 7OS, Ole, 906-a favorable balance of
trade larger han in the entire history
of the republic before.
I'm spite of the hundreds Of millions
of var expenses" said Mr.. Beverage,
'in spite of other millions expended in
laying the foundation of future wealth,
in our dependencies, republican admin
istration has paid it all, and in addi-
ton, and at the same time actually re-
duced the nations debt $10,000,000 and
so refunded the remainder that today
the American people pay $7,OOO,OOO less
interest annually that we paid before
the war with Spain began-and, in ad-
dition, still and at the same time, &C
cumulated the heaviest surplus In u
treasury of any nation in the world"
These are most interesting and in
structive facts which may well com
mand the attention of the people, and
particularly those who are wont to speak
sneeringly and disparagingly Of repub-
Ican prosperity.
