There has recently been established
at the University of Wisconsin tech
nicaI school for artisans which is en-
tirely new in character and which is
attracting much attention among tech
nical men and educators throughout
the country. Its aim is to offer IN
struction to that large class of arti-
sans above the grade of the ordinary
mechanic who desire better knowl-
edge of the principles underlying their
own work, but who lack the prepare
ton or the time to take regular en-
cheering course Of study. No special
preparation is required for entrance,
but it is intended primarily for those
who have had practical experience
and such students will derive much
more benefit from the course than
those without such experience. The
instruction is of a highly practical ma
ture and is arranged so that the prin-
cipleS taught in ,le class room are IL
Illustrated in laboratory, for which pur-
pose the large equipment of the en-

sity is available The students, being

paratus through their own experience.

years with the unbrokcl line of the

Patriotism is the soul Of Japan, while
China, in fact, is not nation in the

and the nature of the war is not an
idle thought. But in order to know
the real basis of the contention
brief summary of the character of the
Chinese people and their civilization
in relation with the doings of powers
in China is of first importance.
China is nation with 400,000,0O0
souls--Dearly one-fourth of the entire
population of the world. Her history
of civilization goes back as far as 1000
years. When Pharaohs of Egypt were
building great pyramids and Chaldean
kings were building enormous palaces
with their sun-burnt bricks of clay in
the fertile valley of Tigris and Eu-
pirates, the Chinese rulers lived in the
great palaces of oriental luxury, rich
with ornaments of gold and silver and
with the product Of arts of very high
type. The Chinese history is the his
tory of peace The Chinese are ener-
getic, intelligent and peace-loving peo-
pie The Buddhism is the prevailing
religion of great masses of the people
while the teaching of Confucius is the
backbone of the Chinese morality. The
keynote Of the Chinese religion is the

trical apparatus does not warrant his

with central stations generally have

the operation of boilers. engines and
generators, they would not be under
the necessity of continually seeing
more desirable positions pass them by
because of their lack of technical

All these things are taught in many
good engineering schools throughout
the country, but in general there is no
opportunity for the electrical artisan
to obtain any advantage therefrom.
Realizing the desirability of Offering
instruction of this character, the Uni
versity of Wisconsin inaugurated four
years ago a six weeks Summer School
for Artisans, in which the instruction
is given by members of the regular
Engineering faculty. and for which
the entire equipment of the college is
available. 1t has proved a success

Congress last year passed a law

SILVER CITY CONVENTION.

In obedience to the instructions OF
the Democratic convention of Chaves
county the delegation from this coun-
ty was successful In securing the
same instructions to the delegates
who will represent New Mexico at
the st. Louis convention. The Silver
City convention was strictly a Hears:
convention. While the motion to In
struct the delegates was carried by a
vote of only two majority. even a ma
jority of those who voted against the
instructions were not in any way un-
friendly to the candidacy Of Mr..
Hearst. AS between Parker and
Hearst probably more than two-thirds
of the convention was for Hearst. AS
the Hon. H. B. Ferguson expressed
it on the floor of the convention it
was not so much Mr.. Parker they
we're against but the men who were
pushing his candidacy.
1t may well be asked, What Dem
ocrat with intelligence can be blind
to the fact that a Belmont-Parke ad-
ministration would be as disastrous
t the party and the nation as the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS administration was
If the party is to- return to it's wallow
in the mire of ~plutocracy, it might
just as well openly declare it's pur-
pose and renominate Mr.. Cleveland.
Parker, alias Belmont, could not
be substantially different from Cleve-
land, alias Morgan, and either would
mean that organized wealth would
continue to plumber the people as
mercilessly as it does now.
"The fact that August Belmont is
exerting himself to secure the nomi
nation of Judge Parker ought to con-
vince any reasonable man that, with
Parker in the chair the judges ap-
pointed to the supreme court would
be known in advance to sympathize
with the corporations on the great
issues which have been dividing the
country.
What friends of equal rights and
just legislation would think of the
nomination of either August Belmont
or David B. Hill for President? Why !
then, should any Democrat delude
himself with the hope of any sub
reform il the party puts at
it's head one who woald commit his
interests to the hands of
two such notorious representatives
Of organized greed?"
