that the trouble was cancer, induced
from the fact, probably, that his

CONGRESS IN SESSION.

Congress, which convened on the
9th inst, was called to meet in extra
ordinary session to consider whether
the approval OF congress shall be
given to the resolutions OF the Cuban
reciprocity convention. There may
be other legislation enacted and
business transacted by congress at
the extra session, but this was the
only object set out in the proclsma-
tion converting it, and consequently
will occupy most OF its time and at
tention; and while thegeneral Ameri-
can public have apparently taken
very little interest in the question OF
reciprocity with Cuba, the measure
is OF more Importance than the aver
age citizen would believe. The meas
ure is opposed only by extreme pro-
tectionists and those interested in
the beef sugar industry; by the for
mer, because they are on principle
opposed TO anything like free trade
under any condition, and by the
latter, because the Cuban sugar
planters could import their sugar
into the United Statesin competition
with American sugar, and the price
OF this necessity OF life would in con-
sequence fall. This would mean
cheaper sugar to the public, and at
the same time be a gracious act on
the part OF this government toward
Cuba, for whose future welfare We
feel somewhat responsible. In ad-
dition, We advance our own trade
interests. The value OF Cuban trade
to American exporters is proved be
yond a doubt by records which can
not be denied, and it rests with con-
gress TO say whether that trade shall
be sacrificed in the interest OF the few
persons engaged in the sugar busi-
ness in this country, and for whims
OF those who are protectionists TO
the point OF excluding foreign compe-
tition absolutely.

AGRICULTURE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

I a II
The Importance OF teaching agri-
culture in our public schOolsis receiv'
| ing considerable attention through
out the country at this time, and is
discussed not only by the press, but
in agricultural clubs and by school
authorities. And while the subject is
rather a new one, it is highly favored
by leading men OF the country, and
the legislatures OF some OF the states
may soon be called upon to consider
the subject. Some states have al
ready, as Virginia has, an agricul-
tural college; but these institutions,
valuable as they are in instructing
the youth who is fortunate enough
to get their advantages, do not seem
TO reach the demand. Only a few,
comparatively, can attend these col
leges, while the masses attend the
public schools, and if agriculture
could be added to the present studies
in the public schools, it would be
generally diffused and the masses
would be benefited. On this subject,
Mr.. Grove, OF Maryland, recently said
TO farmers club that "a law should
be passed, requiring all teachers to
submit to a simple examination in
the elements OF agricultural science.
The state normal and county high
schools should offer course in agri"
cultural science that will fit teachers
to pass this examination, and THE
teachers institute should devote one
hour each day to teaching agricul-
ture. The summer schools in the
national and state universities should
give special prominence to sgricul-
tural science, and to make summer
schools effective, competent instruct
ors must be secured"
As 10 the instruction OF she public
schools now in the state OF Maryland,
Mr.. Grove said: ave have good
schools and competent teachers, pre-
pared to teach all they are required,
but the tendency OF all the training
a child receives now tends to fit him
for other. positions than agricul-
ture. Why not give the child an
opportunity to know something
about the science OF agriculture? and
then perhaps our young men will not
think the life OF the agriculturist all
drudgery. The study OF agriculture
should receive the attention of every
man who has a child to educate,
whether he intends him to be farmer
or not. / believe in teaching agri-
culture, not so much because man
wants to be a farmer, but because it
is one OF the best means by which the
attention OF the child can be attract
ed and his mind awakened, which,
after all, is the main thing in all edu-
cation"

DEMOCRATIC CHANCES IN 1904

Speculations as to the effect the re-
cent election will have upon the DEM
ocratic Presidential chances in l9O4,
are now rife, and as a rule the Demo-
cratic press sees signs OF hope Tor
Democratic success in the results,
while the Republican press is equally
well satisfied. To our mind the ex-
pected has happened in almost every
instance. Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Colorado have elected Republicans,
while Maryland, Virginia and Ken
lucky have gone Democratic The
only reason for encouragement on
the part OF the Democrats is that
Greater New York has elected Nc
Clellan by an overwhelming major
ity, and this may indicate that the
Democrats may be able TO control
the whole State for the Presidential
nominee in 1904.
II the Democratic nominee is a con-
sentative, safe man, who has the con-
fidence offinancial centers, his chances
ought to be good; not so much on
account of the results OF the recent
elections, but because OF unsettled
business conditions, which presage a
falling off of the unusual wave OF
prosperity which this country has
been enjoying for someyears, ana, as
is always the case, theparty inpower
will be held accountable for the slump.
We believe that the election returns
will have far less effect upon political
prospects than the news of bank
suspensions in Baltimore, Pittsburg
and Allegheny, the wreck OF the
asphalt, Lake Superior and ship
building trusts, the closing OF cotton
mills on account of high price OF cot
ton, the Pennsylvania and other rail
roads laying off some 1000 or more
laborers and in Montana some 20, 900
miners being thrown out OF work,
II these conditions are not speedily
changed for the better.
