the balance of the day will be enjoyed
by Volkfest. There will be singing
by the societies and music by the loca
and visiting bands. The announcement
of the name of the society winning the
Kaiser prize through the best singing of

The Male Principals Association, OF
New York city, has approved the report
of a committee on school discipline,
which recommends the abolition of the
present rules against corporal punish
ment because it is said there are chill
dren whom the prevailing method OF
discipline does not influence duly. Fol
lowing this action the New York City
Teachers Association has appointed a
committee to investigate the result of the
abolition Of corporal punishment. The
teachers want the right to whip pupils
restored and say moral suasiOn is a total
failure in the case of certain children.
Spare the rod and spoil the child is a
precept as true as it is old, The best
men living today will recall the punish
ment they received at school, and in a
majority of instances will admit that they
richly deserved every lick they got The
fear of a pupil that he will be punished
for doing wrong, is great deterrent from
wrongdoing. The punishment Of chill
dren, however should not degenerate into
cruelty.

Larchmont, n. Y, June 1.-THE
Reliance, Constitution and Columbia
will race over the Larchmont course off
here today in special contest arranged
by the Larchmont yacht club. Commo-
dore Frederick T. Adams has donated a
handsome cup to be given to the win

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE H. 1905

PRIV DIR. CRAFTS, of Washington,
nroposes to organize Christian lobby,
and the impracticability of the dream
has appeared to all thoughtful people
According to the opinions of many the
notion is open to the grave objection
that 2 Christian lobby could be made,
and would inevitably become, vastly
more dangerous and mischievous than a
secular lobby. The careful student OF
politics can easily fancy the magnet
which a Christian lobby at Washington
would prove for all of the ChadbandS
and the PecksniAs in the country, and
how it would attract to the national capt.
tai every pious fraud and humbug in the
land with pull on this or that congress-
man and an axe to grind. A lobby
fashioned to the purposes and the designs
of the world, the flesh and the devil Is
something which the public understands,
and with which it can reckon. 1t is an
institution which has been in business
for a long time, and the people are tamil-
lar with its tricks and methods. 1T IS
troublesome and demoralizing, but 1t Is
nothing like as great an evil as lobby
operated in the name of purity and right
eousness. You can fight the devil with
fire. but not so with the saints when they
turn to the covert worship of Mammon.
The result that is usually realized from
the almixture of religion and politics Is
the deterioration of religion without any
compensating benefit to politics. what
is really needed at Washington Is nc
lobby at all, and better by far than the
organization of a Christian lobby would
be a united movement by Christians al
the polls to send men to Washington
who could not be influenced or affected
by any sort Of lobby.

PRESIDENT AT UNIVERSITY.

The visit of President Roosevelt to the
University of Virginia yesterday brought
MANY people to Charlottesville and to
the University, and the programme
carried out at the latter institution was
interesting throughout. The speech OF
Mr.. r. w. Moore on behalf OF the
alumni was appropriate, well conceived
and well delivered. The response OF
the President to the toast, "The United
States" had been carefully prepared.
1t was delivered in an impressive manner
and was well received.
At the conclusion Of the President
speech the audience called on Senator
Daniel. The Senator declined to make
a speech after the wonderful and mas
teriul address which the President had
lust delivered" He said that eff the
President had stopped at San Juan Hill
and made his speech to the Spaniards
every man of them would have surrend-
cred" Senator Daniel, however, made
a few happy sallies at the banquet which
brought forth deafening applause.
Senator Martin also was called on,
but declined to speak CATER the excel
lent address of the President"
The various medals were then deliver
ed to the fortunate students, and then
luncheon was served in the gymnasium
Judge r. r. w. Duke, Of Charlottes-
vile, presided as POSTMASTER,
The programme of the University final
exercises for today was follows:

Il CORRESPONDENCE Of the Ale1ahui'" N~~ON''
Washington, d. c., June H.
The copyinp of the report of the in
vestication of the POstoffce Department
IN 1000 by Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow, over the alleged sup
oression of which there has been a de-
cided stir, is completed. For two days a
snecial force of steuographers labored
over time in a desire to meet the wishes
e Postmaster General Payne that the
comics might be completed for delivery
to the newspaper men for publication
Thursday morning. The report occupies
ffty pages of solid typewriting and IS
said to be the most comprehensive state
ment relative to the postOflice scandal
given out at the department. The re-
port contains the reply of General Brls-
tow to the letter of the Postmaster Gene
raj asking for information relative to the
charges of malfeasance against certain
officials of the department as made by
). w. Tulloch. General Bristow was
particularly directed to report as to the
charge that he had been ordered through
political influence to stop an inyestiga-
ton which had already beer productive
of results. Mr.. Payne declined to dis
cuss the matter today but it is under
stood that many of the allegations
made by Tulloch against Postmaster
General Smiths administration are sus-
tanned.
United States Consul McWade, cables
the State Department today that the
American whom he reported few days
ago as having been captured and held
for ransom by pirates has been rescued
by the United States gunboat Callao and
returned to Canton.
Henry F. Green, of Duluth, Mimi,
has been appointed civil service com
missioner, to succeed James r. Garfield,

Cortelyou moved yesterday afternoon,

Runker Hill Day.

Boston, June 17.-Today's celebration
of the l2Sth anniversary of the battle OF
Bunker Hill eclipses any preceding OBJ
servance of the holiday. Added import
ance was given the celebration by the
fact that the famous Liberty Bell had
been brought from independence Hall,
Philadelphia, for the occasion. AT ii
o'clock this morning the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery went to the South
station and escorted the Liberty Bell to
Charlestown, where at one o'clock it was
given place in the military and civic
parade which was composed of a great
many uniformed fraternal, military,
naval and trades organizations. Another
bell which has played an interesting part
in American history-the bell which
hung in the engine house at Harper 5
Ferry Va, in 1859, at the time of the
John Brown raid-had been brought
from Marlborough and was also in the
parade. Another feature was the drum
which called to arms at Concord on
April II, 1775. The day was observed
as a holiday in this city and vicinity,
business generally being suspended.

The Reichstag Election.

Berlin, June H. Returns which
came in this morning from the outlying
districts confirmed the reported that the
social democrats made sweeping gains in
the elections to the Reichstag yesterday.
These returns show that Of the 929 con-
stituencies represented in the Reichstag,
the socialists carried at least 40, the
centre 40, the conservatives Is, the
free conservatives 7, the national lib
erals s, and the anti-Semites one. In
200 places, the results did not show the
proper plurality for the candidate head
ing the list, and a second ballot in these
places is therefore necessary. The
socialists have, thus far, won in all
fifteen seats, and lost two.
At noon the returns showed that sixty
cericals had been elected, SO socialists,
q conservatives, and q candidates for
the other parties.

THE RESULT of the election in Ger
many shows a marked increase in the
vote of the social democrats who have
probably increased their representation
in the Reichstag by fifteen seats, aud
their total vote TO upward Of 2 500, 600,
or 400, 600 more than in 1898. All the
parties concede the success of The SOCIAL
lists, which has been at the expense OF
them ALL The growth of democracy in
Europe is portentous, while the vigor
displayed by socialism throughout the
world is causing uneasiness to many
heads that wear a crown.

convened this morning arguments before
the jury were commenced. Judge b.
Faults French, noted Perry county
fendist, opened for the defense. He
had not gone far, in his talk, when he
aroused county attorney Blanton, and
the latter jumped to his feet and called
French down. Judge Redwine tried t.
quell the colloquy between the lawyer,
but it grew hotter, and French called
Blanton a liar. Blanton sprang at
French and they would have clinched,
had not Elisor Jones stopped Blanton
and pulled him back. The men had no

man entering the court room or there
might have been a different tale to tell.

GOOD MANNERS ON DECLINE. In
delivering the Founders Day address at
the commencement of Lawrenceyille, n.
j., School yesterday Bishop Potter, Of
New York, declared that modern educa'
ton was lacking in good manners.
1--WE are getting to be in such a
hurry in America that the ordinary
civilities are disappearing out of our
education and our life," said the New
York prelate. "When you have dis
missed good manners out of society you
have dismissed that benefcent and
kindly instinct toward your fellOwman,
of which good manners ought always to
be the expression.
1--WE are face to face with a great
social problem, concerning which the
minds of most of us are moving upon
distinctly wrong lines. No one who is
conscious of the social and industrial
situation can be unconscious Of the fact
that the classes have drifted away from
the masses. And it is surprising how
large a proportion of them you find dis
posed to the belief that in order to har.
monte the difference the use of force is
the only remedy"

sweeley for Senator.

Sioux City, Jan. 27.-Representative
NJ. ]. Sweeley has added tosthe interest
of the local political situation by an
nouncing himself a candidate for the
senate providing Senator Il. II. Hub
bard will not be a candidate for re-
nomination. Otherwise, he wan to go
back to the house, and practically
serves notice that all a%spirants for his
place and that OF Senator Hubbard viii.
have to wait until the senator makes
up his mind.
The situation in Woodbury. county is
| complicated. Senator Hubbard a few
days ago announced that he would be a
candidate for the congressional nomi-
nation. Assuming that he would not be
la candidate for the senate friends put
forward the name of John H. Jackson
as a candidate for his seat. Mr.. Swee-
ley has long been known to cherish
senatorial ambitions. but refused to
state his position. This Senator Hub
bard refused to do. In the meantime
candidates appeared fer Sweeley's place
in the house, they acting upon the as
sumption that IL Mr.. Sweeley was to
be a candidate for the senate he would
necessarily not be q candidate for the
house. MI. Sweeley saw both places
being %foreclosed on him and yesterday
| announced In an interview that he
would be a candidate providing Senator
Hubbard should decide to clear the
track. John II. Jackson. chairman of
the republican county central commit
tee, who has a strong following, will
probably be a candidate in any event,
and the situation bids fair to bring on
n warm contest,
