CURRENT COMMENT.

The Pittsburg Post (Dem) says:
"Mr. Roosevelt never brought out the
full vote of his party in New York.
even when he had the prestige of be-
ing a so-called Spanish war hero. 1t
is easy to understand why he desires
TO be reinforced in this campaign with
the name of Mr.. Root as an associ-
ate on the ticket. This indicates much
uneasiness at headquarters.
The Galveston Daily News Oem.)
says: The Republicans are sending
out. as a campaign document. the
speech of Congressman Dalzell in re-
ply to the speech of Bourke Cock
ran. The reioinder of the latter is
not sent out by the Republicans.
though it was far the most interesting
part of the debate between the two
men. The Dalzell speech may have
some effect when distributed as the
Republicans are distributing II. but
when It was delivered in the House il
made his party groan in disappont-
ment."
The Philadelphia Record (Dem),
speaking of Roosevelt's books, says.
The youth Of the country who have
been taught to revere the memories
OF the illustrious dead are asked to
drag them from their pedestals i'm the
temple Of glory and to set up new
standard OF greatness The inevita-
HE tendency Of this is to destroy the
ideals Of the past. TO deprive the
founders of the nation of their we'll
earned fame and 20 put the worst men
and the best men on the same level
until Jefferson. Madison and
Monroe shall be held In less esteem
than a Roosevelt. Such Is the stand
ard which he has himself set up In in
sulting some ~ the greatest Of his pre-
decessors The solemn question Is
whether this standard shall be ratified
and esta hlis&ed by the American peo-
pie la his election 10 the office OF Pres
ident? N So the Declaration OF hide
pedence. which jefferson wrote. and

anectiouatoly style the father may as

ATTENDANCE AT THE FAIR.

Why is it that the attendance at
the st. Louis fair isn't larger? A
comparison of it with that of the Chi
cago fair is immensely in favor of the
latter. For instance. the attendance
at the St. Louis fair for the third
week in August was Gal. 1888. while that
at the Chicago fair for that week in
the same month was 1,O16,044. Indeed,
the average attendance at Chicago was
over 100000 a week.
1t may be that because the St. Louis
fair is going to remain open a month
later than the Chicago fair did many
who intend to visit it are holding off
until cool weather comes. AS a mat
ter, of fact, however, August has been
a remarkably cool month in St. Louis
1t is said to be generally pleasant
month there. The truth may be that
the people have been having too much
of great fairs. They are tired of them.
After the Chicago fair there ought not
to have been another for twenty years.
If it be a fact that the people are
just as eager to attend a fair as they
were at the time of the Chicago fair
then the attendance at the St. Louis
fair ought to be much greater than
that at the Chicago fair. for the rea-
son that the country is richer, has
much larger population, and the
times are better. Unless the attend
ance is phenomenal during the next two
months it is doubtful if the govern
ment will get all of its money. If the
stockholders are hoping to get their
money back they are doomed to dis
appointment. And yet, the fair is
the greatest the world has ever seen.

HIGH sCHooL ELECTIVE COURsEs.

Supt. Ashmore recommends in his an
nual report the establishment of the
departmental or elective system in the
Savannah High School, and the fact
that high schools in all parts of the
country are adopting the plan seems
to indicate that it is favored by the
leading educators. That it has its ad-
vantages there doesn't seem any doubt,
though some local conditions tend to
work against it's immediate establish
ment here.
The departmental system means the
preparation by the superintendent of
four or five different courses and al
lowing the student to choose that one
which he most prefers. He is thus
enabled to especially prepare himself
for his chosen life work or for ad-
vanced studies in higher institutions.
To the majority of students the High
School takes the place of the college
and it would seem that such scholars
should therefore be given as great lati-
tude as possible in deciding which sub
jects they will study and which they
most need.
A further advantage appears in the
fact that the pupils are working on
subjects of their own choosing. Their
interest is therefore greater naturally
and the result is a more thorough UNI
Outstanding and knowledge of the
branches taken up. In this system
also all the teachers are specialists,
and hence certainly better fitted to
impart their knowledge to the inquir-
ing minds of the children UNDER Them
The chief argument that has been
advanced against an elective system is
that students may shirk needful sub
iects, with the result that their mental
development is entirely one-sided. The
departmental system appears to do
away with this danger entirely. The
fundamental and necessary studies are
required in all courses and a student
| isn't permitted to neglect the develop
ment of any faculty of the mind. AS
a result he is graduated with a mind
having all it's faculties symmetrically
| developed. coupled with special prepa-
ration for his chosen lines Of work OF
| for entrance on special courses of
studies in colleges or universities.
The immediate establishment Of the
departmental system in Savannah isn't
practicable, as a larger High School
building would be necessary and at
present this cannot be arranged. Mr..
Ashmore's suggestion, however, ap-
pears to have been made at this time
principally as a preparatory move and
probably it will be looked upon by
the Board OF Education as step in
the right direction.

A PERILOuS POSITION.

Imprisoned for nearly half an hour
under 100 feet of water was the try
ing ordeal through which Lieut.. Mel
son and eight marines passed a few
days ago in the submarine boat Por-
poise off Newport, r. 1. The boat had
been taken out for a mock attack on
a cruiser and a torpedo boat anchored
OFF the seaport town. The Porpoise
sunk gradually to the customary depth
of twenty feet. but to the consterna-
ton OF all continued settling until she
struck bottom, 120 feet below the sur
face of the water. Neither the Off
Ger nor his men lost their heads, but
went quickly to work with the hand
pumps. For twenty minutes they
pumped. with no indication that
the boat would rise. and water began
pouring in through the torpedo tube.
the valves being unable TO withstand
the tremendous pressure Of the water.
Still the men worked on as calmly as
though they were secure of all dan
ger. and at last their efforts were re.
warded and the Porpoise shot to the
surface. The experience was a terrible
one. For short time death seemed
certain. The fact that both officers
and men We're cool and collected and
calmly went about their work speaks
high for the morale and nerve of our
navy. With such crews aboard our
ships there is no need to fear that they

A POINT SETTLED.

The Republican papers and a few
Democratic ones have been discussing
the question as to whether Judge Par
ker favors the independence of the
Philippines. The Republican papers
have been claiming that his position in
respect to the islands is practically the
same as that of Mr.. Roosevelt, name
". self-government under American
sovereignty when the Filipinos are
prepared for it.
In his speech of acceptance Judge
Parker declared himself in favor of
government for the islanders, and
of telling them at once that they
should have it as soon as they were
reasonably prepared for it. What he
said was open to the construction that
he meant self-goyernment under
American sovereignty, though only
those who want the islands retained as
our possession placed that construction
upon it. Democrats generally under
stood him to mean that he favored the
independence of the Filipinos, because
he accepted the declaration of his
party's platform on that point. The
Democratic platform favors dealing
with the Filipinos as we dealt with
the Cubans-giving them their indie
pendence as soon as they are able to
take care of themselves.
A letter written by Judge Parker to
John G.. Milburn of Red Beach, East
River, Conn, sets all doubt in regard
to his position at rest. In the letter
he says ne intended the phrase self
government" to be identical with in
dependence, political and territorial.
He is in accord with the Democratic
platform.
Comparatively few Democrats were
disturbed by the doubts which were
raised in regard to his position in re-
spect to the Filipinos, but the Repub-
lcans thought they had discovered that
he was not in accord with his party in
regard to the policy that should be pur-
sued in regard to the islanders, and
they proceeded to make what political
capital they could out of it.
There is no further room for discuss
ing the matter. The difference be-
tween Judge Parker and Mr.. Roose-
welt in respect to it is as wide as that
between the poles. The anti-imperial-
lists understood Judge Parker's position
and they are supporting him. Among
these ant-imperialists are many Re
publicans in each of the states. The
Republican papers have no further oc-
casion for insisting that Judge Par
ker's views in regard to the Filipinos
differ but little, if any, from those of
Mr.. Roosevelt. They must hunt else
where for campaign ammunition.
