appear in the INSTRUMENTATION
papers, however, they may be mere
fsbrications, as is almost everything
else they publish about the Republi-
can administration. General Fun
ston, however, should have had more
prudence than to get tripped up in
such q manner. He should have
known from the experience of Miles
and other voluble malcontents and
mischief breeders that the sdministra-
tion does not approve of army and
navy officers talking too much. IL is
not that they are not men, and en-
tilted to free speech just the same
as any one else. But in this day
and time, the party In power has
enough to contend with In simply pro-
.ecting itself from the attacks and
mendacity of its political opponents
without also being continually embar-
raised by those belonging to the ad-
ministration. General Funston is an
intelligent man. and he cannot help
having heard of what happened to
Miles. He should never have thought,
simply because he captured Aguinaldo,
he could come over and prove An ex.
ception. He is drawing . good salary
Is an officer in the army, and deserves
it, for he won his promotion. But he
is not paid to talk, and il he must
talk, knowing that IL is not TO be toll
Grated by the administration, he
should resign, and then he may talk to
his hearts content On any subject he
chooses, and there would be no one to
say him nay. As long IS he is an
officer in the army, however, he
should say nothing or be guarded in
what he says. He knows officers are
not expected to 90 about the country
making speeches and criticisins men,
bers Of congress. He knows the ad-
ministration will not tolerate 1t. II
is simply q rule Of the department,
and as O part Of the department, he
must observe it or place himself be-
yond it's jurisdiction. Too much blair
ney will no more be countenanced BY
the administration from its army
officers than it would be by the pro-
prietor Of some large merchantile es-
tablishment. II the latter had .
clerk who went about criticizing the
management, and telling about this,
that and the other In the store, and
discussing things that should be prop
erly regarded rs private business Of
the firm, the clerk would get . repri'
mand In short order. II he didn'i
desist, he would be fred.
General Funston was recently quot
ed in some of the papers as having
made distinction between two classei
of people, 1.-THE first. the demagogues'
who did not believe what they were
saying, the other the class Of people te
which the senior senator from Massa'
chusetts belongs, who did believe
what they were saying, were perfectly
sincere, but were suffering from over
heated conscience; that is, they were
too sincere.
This might have been admissible
from some men, but from a man who
is supposed to obey orders and draw
his salary, and allow Mr.. Bryan and
the other men who do the talking fol
the country to attend to the discussion
of such things, it was very untimely'
General Funston should quickly sub
side and not allow his fighting nature

above EXHIBIT, and with your per-
mission | shall try to explain what
it is and my purpose Of having 1t
in your city from the 5th TO the 9th
of next monfh.
About ten years ago. the people
OF our larger American cities,
particularly of Boston and Chi
cago, awoke to the educational
possibilities of sehool-room walls,
During the previous decade teach
ers everywhere lhad been fred
with zeal to decorate their rooms,
and so great was the enthusiasm
to tack up any and everything in
the shape Of picture, that even
the cigarette advertisement was
pressed into service. Every right
movement, surcharged with zeal
and enthusiasm, however, makes
for betttr things. So Boston
thought ten years ago, and said to
her school people you have reach
ed the limit of card decoration,
move on to something better.
Philanthropists conceived the
idea of collecting the reproduc.
tions Of MASTER pieces and making
exhibits of them land asking con-
tributions by generous patrons
for the adornmeht of the school
walls. This however did not prove
the best plan; apd Helman and
Taylor, of Cleveland, o., origin
ated the Travelling Art Exhibit
with the definite end in view d
supplying suitable pictures fol
schools, They however failed il
their commendable enterprise ane
the Soule Art Company, of Bostol
succeeded them with better re
suits.
Mr.. Horace G. Turner, a mai
of broad experience in all art mat
tiers, has charge of the exhibit
of these combined firms, AM
Greenvllle is fortunate in beini
!; The tlrst city in the central sontl

I The Art Exhibit consists of 20
pictures, each the very reproduc
ton of a masterpiece.
1t occupies l40O 50. #. OF wal
space. The pictures will be al
ranged in the High School stud.

charged by negro woman Of -sing

woman could get SO low from evil asso-
