marck established the empire have held
the same doctrine, but they have not
acted out the alleged right to its implied
consequences. Even the bumptious
grandson Of the old kaiser has found that
under the change made by that empire
maker par excellence, Prince Bismarck,
he cannot have his own way all the time
but Is subject to. the political brake known
as the reichstag, in which the social
democrats have increasing influence
There Is no doubt that the introduction
by Bismarck Of universal suffrage, first in
Prussia and then in the German empire,
opened safety valve and prevented the
explosion foreshadowed by Lassalle. In
Germany it has been found that social
ism cannot be put down by force; that
some Of its tenets are rational and benefi-
cial; that it cannot force it's extreme
theories upon the state anywhere. Three
fourths of the planks of the German So
cialistic labor party's platform in 1875 de-
manded what had been in full operation
in this country for many years.

ENGLISH JOURNAL 5MtsTlc METHODS

/, Mr.. NJ. Bulloch,t IN his London letter
TO the Lamp, states some Of the obstacles
encountered in every attempt to intro
duce American journalistic methods in
London. An enormous mass Of news
which American newspapers print and
which American readers like to read,
can't appear in England because Of the
severe law Of libel and because the Eng
Ylish people do not care to read it. Scan
dals ocur and breezy political gossip
apounds, but they are printed by only
rev newspapers of the third class and
sparlngly even by them. There is ten
dency, however, to color news reported
from distance with the special policy a
paper pursues. Harmsworth, Of the Lon
don Mail. changed the practice of letting
newspapers run Themselves and promo
one .pra1ny man to supervise and edit and
think out definitely each day what type
OF news the; paper is. to deal with in. it's
next issue. Mr.. Bulioch does not think
american al newspaper men have more than

The Path to Safety.

President Roosevelt has arrived at a
critical point in his presidential career:
He has to carry out his own strongly
expressed views, often stated, as to the
the necessity Of maintaining an incorrupt
and purely business and non partizan
civil service. The occasion is the result
Of Bristow's investigation into the OBJ
erations Of certain officials of divisions of
the postal department., which has accumu-
lated evidence until the confidential
clerk Of the postmaster general him
self reported to be in peril of
Enclosure in the Bristow dragnet
and the integrity of Mr.. Payne
has been questioned, altho there IS no
evidence that he has been disloyal to the
responsibility committed to him. The
president, who has the utmost confidence
In Mr.. Payne. cannot, without impairing
confidence in himself, interpose delay on
any pretext to the full sweep of the drag
net Of investigation and there is not, in
the estimation of any candid student of
the presidents character, the slightest
ground for believing that he will lift his
little finger to nit the most searching in
vestigation to-. zach and punish guilty men
whatever may be their positions, and then;
following his own proclaimed civil service
policy, place the postoffice department out
Of reach Of the, professional politicians
and spoilsnen, which it is not at present,
but is, to a reprehensible extent subject

The German. Elections.

From the report Of the returns, so. far,
from the elections to the German reich
stag. 1t is evident that the social demo-
Gratis have made very formidable: gains Of
seats In that body. They claim; eighty
members elected, and, If true, they. will
be able to influence critical votes in the
reichstag. They were joined In the last
reichstag by the m embers Of the two radi-
cal parties, who voted with them against
the drastic tariff and army increase and
were strong enough to influence appre-
GLADLY the modification of the tariff,
which they held up to the masses as a.
scheme to raise the price of food for the
benefit Of the aristocratic land owners.
$t It is true the tariff modification as to
duties on foodstuffs was not of much con-
sequence, but the influence Of the social
lists was shown sufficiently to make the
conservatives and clericals apprehensive.
The tariff bill was rushed thru on a mo-
tion to dispense with the discussion by
paragraphs and pass 1t en- bloc. The
STeichstag now elected will take up the
proposed commercial treaties to which
the agrarians, who favor a tariff prac-
tically prohibitory, have already ;objected.
In 1871 there We're. only two social demo-
Gratis In the reichstag and the party polled
only 100000 votes in the elections that
year. In 1877 they polled $4,000 votes,
and, to-day, they number over 1900, 900
votes. In 1877 they had twelve votes In

legal way and in peace, but otherwise it

with brazen sandals upon It's feet. In

With the coming in of the empire uni

Prussia. Before Lassalle began his plead

the department of agriculture. This is a
graft Of the farmers on the nation that
is likely to endure for sometime. The
farmers graft Is such a novelty that it
might be we'll to preserve this one for ex-

An Educational Merger.

Inc meeting or the state normal school
board on Tuesday gave rise to some talk
about the ACCESSIBILITY OF, creating a ner-
ger of the purely educational institutions
or the state now under the control or
supervision ct boards; these are the uni
versity, the normal schools and the high
schools. There is no doubt that sort
OF educational board of control, limited
to these three departments of public edu-
cation, would be able to. give to the diff
ferent institutions some Of the advan-
tages which always attach to conoentra-
ton and consolidation.
The normal schools would probably
profit more than the university and the
high schools from such an educational
trust. If they. were closely affiliated with
the states preparatory schools and its
greatest institution of learning, they
would loom larger before the people of the
state than they do now At present their
good work. their usefulness and their
growth and development are not appre-
ctated by the state as whole. They are
looked upon as regional institutions
which are convenient for distributing ap-
preparations.
AS between the high schools and the
university, consolidation might be good
or bad according to the point Of view.
There is widespread belief that the eff
cheney of our Minnesota high schools, con
sidered as the elimination Of the public
school system, has been impaired by the
modelling of the courses Of instruction on
the theory that their proper function is
to prepare for the university. If the mer-
ger board should be dominated by men
who believe that high-school courses
should be shaped to fit university en-
trance requirements instead of the re-
verse, the high schools would suffer as
institutions designed to At their gradu :
ates for life work without further study
On the other hand, the usefulness of the
university might be impaired by a board
Indifferent to all continuity between high
school and university courses Again,
with a changing personnel, the board, by
leaning first one way and then the other.
might In the long run impair the useful
ness Of both high schools and university
L. 10 VI obdOle, ll1O' C1ldI Ill ILLS PRACTICAL
age the tendency of the board would be
to adapt the university to high schools
designed to be complete in themselves.
It is a grave question, tho, whether the
three classes Of instruction can properly
be conaded to a single board. There is no
lack Of arguments for the contention that
better results are to be gained by the
present decentralization than by the pro-
posed concentration.
AS a .conqueror Of appropriations from
a frugal legislature, however, such a COM
bination would be highly successful There
would be no more playing off of the one
against the other, but the three would
unite in one loud and harmonious demand
for large appropriations.

Education That Educates.

Mr. Mosely, the Englishman who sent
twenty three British trades unionists to
the United States to study American in
dustrial and social conditions, concludes
that the true-born American workman is
a better educated man than his fellows
in Britain. Almost all Of the members
of his commission agree with him on this
point. Zone Of the principal reasons"
says Mr.. Mosely, why the American
workman Is better than the Britisher Is
that he received sounder and, better
education, whereby he has been more
thoroly fitted for the struggles Of after
life; and I believe all my delegates We're
themselves impressed with the generally
high standard Of education in the United
States-a standard it would be we'll for
Our own nation to copy as far as possible"
This IS certainly splendid compliment
to our, much abused schools and their
modern methods. Most Of the workmen
the members Of the Mosely commission
saw have probably issued from the public
schools since the Introduction of manual
training and other modern innovations.
Whatever Of superiority our workmen
have In education to the British must be
due to these improved methods Of educa-
tion. Mere literacy-the three-R educa-
tion--is no more prevalent tn the United
States than in Great Britain and Ireland.
We have here, then, the testimony of
hard headed competitors that modern
American school education Is turning out
boys better prepared for the struggle Of
life than the old kind. The English work.
man is trained in the old methods, and
the American workman is trained by the
new ones. The modern schools are CAL
culated to arouse and stimulate almost
every latent talent or ability the child may
have. 49, -. - -.
The old method, so entirely clerkly In
its character, did we'll enough for some
of the boys and girls but others it never
reached at all; It was adapted to par
ticular class. The modern is thoroly dem
ocratic in its catholicity and seeks to
bring out the peculiar talents Of each
child. 1t tells in a more original more
resourceful generation Of school children,
in early thinking and In the encourage
ment Of that habit Of Independent initia-.
tive which is so much of Americanism.
