Stirring Up Trouble.

W 1AVuDIS.
Much speculation prevails as to .he
reasons which have prompted the Paris
Matin" to select this precise moment
Tor publishing in daily series the letters
addressed by the late Prince Bismarck
to his wife during the war of 1870 and
1871 The ''Matin" is one of the most
influential and widely circulated of
French newspapers. enjoying such close
association with the administration that
1t is popularity regarded as being a gov
eminent organ. Consequently it Is as
sumed that the publication of the letters
at this juncture has been inspired by the
authorities
1t IS hardly necessary to say that the
dominant note in these letters is the
fierce hatred of the great chancellor for
everything French, unbounding contempt
being expressed for the French in gen
eral and for the French army in par
ticular. The perusal of these letters
cannot but make French readers boil
with anger and resentment. Their pub
LEGATION comes at a moment when the
memory of the events of 1901 was be-
coming obliterated. when the incidents
OF that great struggle were. in fair
way of being forgotten. and when the
probability Of Emperor William paying
an official visit to the French capital,
and making a state entry into that Paris
into which both his father and grand
father rode as victors of the French,
was being generally discussed by French
men as possibility.

High Handed But Justifiable.

King Leopold's action in causing the
seizure Of Belgian government officials
of all the correspondence relating to
the marriage of his father and mother.
Just before the recent public sale of the
contents of the ancient chateau of Mercy
Argenteau near Wise. close to the
Franco Belgian border, though high
handed, was nevertheless justified
by the peculiar circumstances, since
otherwise these confidential documents
would have been sold to the highest bid
der. along with the other effects OF the
lady who chooses TO call herself the
princess de Montglyon," but who is in
reality the divorced wife of the present
French Duke of Avaray. Owing to the
fact that she was divorced from her hus-
band two years before he succeeded to
his fathers dukedom, she has no right
whatsoever to the title of duchess, her
former husband having been merely a
marquis at the time of the dissolu-
ton of her marriage.
She is the daughter of the late Count
Eugene of Mercy Argenteau, who for a
long time was q member of the Belgian
legation at Paris, where his father as
plenipotentiary carried on all the ne
gotiations for the marriage between the
late King Leopold of Belgium and his
wife, the daughter of King Louis Phil
ippe of France. 1t was thanks to this
that such a quantity of valuable papers
of the utmost Importance TO the court
or Belgium remained in the hands of the
Mercy Argenteau family. OF which the
only representative is the lady whom
described above as the divorced wife
of the French Duke of Avaray.

Manual Training.
An Educational Hobby Which Might
Be Turned to Practical Use.


Manual training in our various
schools has grown in popularity until
1t has assumed something of the ma
ture OF an epidemic. The system is
introduced, not so much because anv
practical result is expected to come of
1t as because it is the fashion of the
day. Perhaps when the fashion has
passed industrial education will be
discarded with equal readiness and
unreason.
The plan of training children to do
something with their hands is all very
well, and in some cases it works. But
1t Is an expensive improvement, and
perhaps we may as well inquire
whether 1t cannot be made to justify
Its adoption by practical results.
The basic idea of this system is
said to be the training of children in
such a way that they will not be I'M
fitted to earn their own living when
they leave school, as the majority
must, at an early age. If this is SO,
why not train them to make things
which are Immediately salable7 Why
turn the school into bazaar of fancy
work, as has been done in too many
American cities7
Of what earthly use are woven
mats of tissue paper, boxes and
match-safes of cardboard, and labor
iously made articles which are al
ways made by machinery nowadays 2
The child will not find that this train
ing helps him to become a more eff
feient factory worker. Why not let
the industrial schools train their pu-
pills to do things which cannot be done
better by machinery Why should
they not revive old arts of handicraft,
and make things of real beauty and
use? They might in this way give the
impetus to a new industry.
Old-time cabinet-making was car
ried on by a master workman and his
apprentices, many Of whom were no
more skillful in the use of tools than
the average public school boy. The
master found it profitable to train
these youths as his assistants, and
with their aid he made curiously de-
signed furniture which cannot be du-
plicated by the factories of today.
The modern teacher of manual train
ing can command the labor necessary
to reproduce some of the smaller ar
ticles of furniture made in the old
shops, and he can find the designs in
books or in the shops devoted to an
tique curios.
A table, workbox, bracket, or set of
shelves which merely reproduces a
modern design cannot be sold for
more than the factory-made article.
Why should not the schools turn their
attention to branches of manufacture
in which they will not compete with
machinery? In that way there might
be some tangible return in money for
the time and labor expended, and,
better than this, we might have i'm
proved standards of taste everywhere,

Not Enough Votes.
Calculations on the Presidency Which
Are Sure to Come to Grief.

Are Sure to Come to Grief.
Col. Henry Watterson was cred
tied with saying the other day that J.
Pierpont Morgan was behind the eff
fort to force the denomination and re-
election of Grover Cleveland. Should
the next Democratic National Conven-
ton, as Colonel Watterson pictured
it, be dragooned into renominating
Mr.. Cleveland, influences which Mr.
Morgan controls would be set in OPP
Grafton to carry for the Democratic
ticket the States of New York, New
Jersey, and Connecticut. And these
States, with a Solid South, would in
sure the Sage Of Princeton's choice
for q third term in the White House.
We do not know that there is any
thing but imagination "behind" this
revelation of the origin and purposes
of the Cleveland canvass. Colonel
Watterson may or may not be right
in tracing the impulse of the third
term movement to the great Wall
Street financier. But he is altogether
wrong in calculating that the sixteen
States of the Solid South, REINFORCED
by New York, New Jersey, and Con-
neeticut, would cast controlling vote
in the next Electoral College.
In the college which is to meet in
1905 476 votes are to be cast, and 239
votes will constitute a majority.
Thirteen Southern States-V Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Flor
ida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennes-
see, Kentucky, and Missouri-ar rea-
sonably certain TO give their votes
Isl in ALTO any duly registered
Democratic candidate. Maryland,
West Virginia, and Delaware have
among them eighteen votes. It is
almost fanciful at this day to class
West Virginia and Delaware as inte-
gers in a genuinely Solid South. But
admitting that Mr.. Cleveland could
carry them all in 1904, his total
Southern vote would rise to 169.
New York, New Jersey, and Con-
necticut have together under the APP
portionment Of 1901 fifty-eight cleo
toral votes. Joined with the Solid
South they could cast 227 votes for a
Democratic Presidential candidate
But though 224 votes would elect in
1900, 239 votes arc required TO elect
now. and Colonel Watterson's majori-
ty is thus left still twelve votes 'shy."
Indiana added to New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut would give
242 But as West Virginia, with
seven votes, is now strongly Re
publican and promises TO remain so
indefinitely, even with Indiana as
signed to Mr.. Cleveland, he might
still, on Colonel Watterson's own basis
of calculation, fail of success.
Political forecasters should follow
the changes in voting strength made
by our decennial appointments. II
is to be hoped that Mr.. Cleveland's
campaign managers-if he is to make
another campaign-will not be led to
build false hopes of an election on the
alleged adequacy of coalition in the
Electoral College between New York,
New Jersey, and Connecticut and the
Solid South.
