John Reynolds. a former Demo
crat and Assistant Secretary of the
Interior in the administration Of
President Cleveland, has been nomi-
mated for Congress by the Republi-
cans. of the Nineteenth Pennsylvania
district. which is composed of the
great mining, railway and manufac-
turing counties Of Cambria, Blair and
Bedford. The district is Republican
by several thousand majority n
the election Of Mr.. Reynolds is as
sured. His nomination is in no sense
a reward for his change of faith. He
is a man of rare abilities, was one
of the most popular of Cleveland's ap-
~pointments; and is selected because
OF his eminent illness to represent
Pennsylvania's great business inter
ests. SO closely allied to h o vital
interests OF its neighboring States CT
Maryland and West Virginia.

that the party is to be trusted TO deal
with the financial question. The in
dustries OF his district. precisely sirut-

of Maryland and West Virginia, 4
led him to closely observe the opera
ton of the tariff. The vacillation and
theorizing of Democratic politicians
have proved to him that they are nc
more to be trusted to deal with d
problem which, like the tariff, lies at
the very heart of national prosperity.
than they are with the money ques-
ton.
The conversion finally and for all
time of this one OF the most brilliant
officials OF a Democratic adnllnistra-
ton is not exceptional. Tens Of o
sands of Democrats who left their
party with the purpose of returning to
it when it regained some measure of
sense have been led to a deeper study
OF the character of the two great par
ties of the country and to a new ap-
probation of Republican principles.
They find the Republican party stable
in clearly defined purposes, and the
Democrats cropping. disagreeing, dis

Democrats who got out of their party
in 1896. n 1900 to remain out, but
has excited new distrust in thousands
of others who hoped in vain that
strength and dignity and lucid treat

marx the action of their leaders this
year, and TO a great extent this ele-
ment will also vote the Republican
ticket or remain away from the polls.

Old Enough to Serve.

Ex-senator Davis is certainly old
enough to be Vic President, and see
how many he has helped to make. He
began voting in 1S44.-Philippi Re

Mr.. Davis has not helped to make
as many Presidents as many men
several years younger than he, for he
has voted for the wrong man so often.

MORE ACCURACY NEEDED.

It has been more apparent than ever this year that accurate figures concern- ming the cotton crop are much needed. Our own figurers, including the govern ment, seem to be badly out of the way, and Representative Burleson of Texas makes the curious charge that the great British cotton manufacturing houses have the shrewdest men they can hire engaged in the business of circulating false impressions about the crop Dros- poets in this country. They begin be- fore the seed is in the ground by talk ing abou. the excellent prospects for a large crop. When the seed is actually planted the boomers spread stories of how finely the plants are coming up. By the time the plants are in bloom these men have sent statements broad cast to the effect that record breaking crop is about to be harvested. This has a tendency to depress prices, and it is all done so skillfully that the public never discovers the deception. The re- suit is that the farmer gets an unfair price for his stock, but as soon as it

passes from his hands into those of the jobbers it is learned that the crop re- ports have been badly exaggerated and then prices go soaring up.
 It doesn't seem as if shrewd men in this country ought to be so fooled by British agents. but perhaps they some times are. Representative Burleson has very simple remedy for the situa- ton. if fl is a remedy. He proposes a nominal tax of one mill per bale of cot ton ginned within the United States. The idea is not to raise revenue from the taxation, but to establish some ma- ehinery for getting accurate and official information about the size of the prod uet. His plan is to have the Census Office take charge of the compilation of the statistics which will be published as soon as possible for use of the pub lie. The total tax on crop of 1O,5OO, ,oOO bales of cotton would be only s1O,5OO, and perhaps nobody would object to such a small tax.

INDICATIVE.

That is pleasing and significant tale which comes from Huntington. Massa- chusetts. Mrs. Rosa Perkins lives there. She is eighty-five years old. and has been almost totally blind for several years. but she. has regained her sight within the past two months, and is now able to read without glasses. Her hair. which had been gray and had fallen out to such an extent as to leave her almost bald. has taken new vigor, and her head is now covered with a luxuriant growth of glossy black.
 This is only one incident. and it may not be considered very significant by scientists, who usually want at least several facts to build one of their fine theories on. But one need not be sci enlist in order to perceive the deep meaning in the case of Mrs. Hunting ton. All he needs is some knowledge of what the better half of the world is and can do. Mrs. Huntington's case is indicative of a. time when woman can at will renew her youth. or never lose it. She has conquered everything now but death and taxes, and she manages to evade both of them long and well. By and by she will be forever young and beautiful, and the low-down part of creation will jump at the chance to pay whatever taxes are due from her.

4 SHINING SUCCESS.

SC, The schools of Batavia, New York, became crowded. The school board asked the superintendent to do some thing in the way of employing extra teachers that would temporarily relieve the situation. The superintendent, be- ing man of ideas, concluded to try an experiment. He employed extra teach CTS. not to hear recitations, but to give individual instruction to the pupils who were falling behind and dragging the whole school back to lower standards. The experiment, to quote the language of the State superintendent, twas a startling and instantaneous success. Encouragement the bane of public school life disappeared from all faces and tears from all eyes. It was found that backward children were catching up with the bright ones, and, in many cases, outstripping them, and the lead-
 ing lights of the classes soon had all they could do to keep up with the dull scholars. The superintendent says fur ther: sThere are in all seven individual instructors employed in the Batavia schools at this time, one teacher in many cases going from room to room. They are not regarded as assistants or under-teachers in any sense, and their salaries are the same as the regular or class teachers of their grade. The in dividual instructor, if sine rightly un- derstands her function, does not under any circumstances do the work of the child, but shows him how to do it him. self. The great achievement of learn ing how to study, how to concentrate the mind, often unlearned until college is reached, is gained at the very begin- ming of school life"
 Every teacher will see why this ex- pertinent was shining success. It is a pity that there can't be more such experiments.
