OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 23rd.
Mr.. ED1ToR:-After months of pun
melting from the Democrats, the Rerubli-
can Senators have at last put forward one
of the very weakest of their number to
parry the attack-Senator Plat of Con-
necticut The Nutmeg State is now almost
unrepresented in Congress. In the House
its mem bers are Of little consequence, and
scarcely known by name outside of their
own neighborhood, while in the Senate,
Gen. Hawley is a paralytic and confined
to his home and Plat is aged and feeble.
ut is disgrace to the Senate" he falter-
ed, "that our President should be charg
ed here with entering into a conspiracy
to incite rebellion in Panama" There
was a moments interruption as Senator
Teller replied ut is disgrace to the
country that the charge is true" Mr..
Plat contradicted the assertion and then
he spent an hour to prove what nobody
has ever denied, that the President has a
constitutional right to send the navy to
any part of the world where Americans
are attacked This he repeated, in every
form he could think of; but he lodged
the question which he was urged +"
answer: Had the President a right, IL
gal or moral, to order our naval officers
to Panama to prevent the landing of
Colombian troops within fifty miles of
the railroad, when their object was to
enforce law and maintain order in
Colombia's own territory? YES. we
will answer that by and BY" is the only
reply this question has yet received in
the Senate.
The administration is in heap of
trouble about terrible Panama scandal
reported from Paris, and involving Bunau
Varilla, the garrulous minister from
Panama. 1t is to the effect that this man
swindled the French Panama canal CON-
pany by means of false reports of exca.
vations made by which he received some
half million dollars in corrupt rake
off," The President is greatly worried

THE SENATORIAL
SITUATION.

The result of the second caucus,
held on Wednesday night, was a great
disappointment to Ex-Governor Smith
and his friends, as well as to all con.
sentative citizens who earnestly de.
sire q solution of the Senatorial dead
lock.
In the caucus absolutely nothing
was accomplished toward the nomiaa'
ton of Senator Three separate mo-
tions to adjourn were made, one by
Senator Germans son, the State Sen
ator from Howard county, to adjourn
until Monday night; one by Senator
Moore, Smiths leader, to adjourn sine
die, and one by Mr.. Bosse, Of the city
delegation, to adjourn subject to the
call of the chairman. Mr.. Germans
motion was defeated by an overwhelm-
ing vote, as was also that of Mr.. Bosse.
The Smith and Rayner people CON-
bined on Senator Moore's motion and
adjourned the caucus without date.
A feature of the caucus Wednesday
night was the attempt upon the part
of Senator Lewis, of Allegany county
to offer resolutions to have the legisla-
ture provide for primary election for
United States Senator during tue
month of February, at which the peo-
pie may vote for any of the candidates
who have thus far been brought out.
After the primaries his proposition is
that the Legislature elect the winner.
He was not allowed to read the resc-
lutions.
We think we voice the sentiment OF
the people in saying that time enough
has been spent over this contest, and
that important matters OF legislation
should not suffer on account Of this
unfortunate controversy. An effort
should be made by the members Of the
legislature to get together and ell ct a
Senator without further delay.

Governor Wartield Tuesday sent to the
Senate the nomination of Major Clinton
L. Riggs, of Baltimore county, as adjutant
general, to succeed the late General Saun.
ders. Gov ernor Warfield said he made
the appointment because Major Riggs
posse ssed the necessary ability and ex'
perience and was also personally accept
able to the Executive. The Governor
looks upon the ppointment as a some.
what of personal one, and so expressed
himself.

EDUCATIONAL THEORIES.

Many wel..meant essays have beer
written by educators to prove that
education, being derived from edueore
means to lead out, or draw out, exist
ing faculties of the mind, not to give
information. Education, in this view
is purely disciplinary; it aims to form
correct mental habits, to inculcate in
dustry and method. A man may thus
in theory be perfectly educated with.
out learning anything. Words and
dag rams, it is true, are required as
the dumbbelis and horiz ,ntal bars, so
to speak, of the educational gymna-
stun, where the mental athlete is de.
veloped, but nothing practical-noth-
ing corresponding to the hoe, spade or
wood saws needed according to the
over-worked educare theory, and no
stock of information is accumulated.
Something in the way of facts will be
picked up in the use of books, but the
educator who believes in mental dis
cipline first, last and all the time pays
little attention to vulgar facts, being
satisfied to graduate an ignoramus,
provided he be mentally we'll disciplin-
ed.
But The educare theory is now hav-
ing a hard time Of it, in view Of the
number of boys that are said to leave
school ignorant of things every one
should know. The universities and
colleges complain of the high schools
that their students cannot write an
English sentence correctly, and en-
ployers complain that very often grad
yates of colleges and technical schools
are similarly deficient. Bad spelling
is far more common among collegians
at present than it was formerly. Ac-
cording to Sir Oliver Lodge, the fault
is with the preparatory schools, which
educate" too much and do not in
struct enough. A little more Of "the
three RS" would be better. "Methods
at the public schools" says Sir Oliver,
fare disciplinary rather than educa-
tional'. 1t is not enough to do the
wrong thing the right way. AS re-
spects good English, it is observed that
the connection between thought and
language is so close that the man who
uses incorrect language cannot be
thinking straight, and the very habit
OF labelling the idea with its proper
word makes for accurate thinking"
II begins to be insisted upon, very
very properly, that disciplinary stud
les ought not to form a class by them
selves, but ought to be studies in
which something useful will be learn
ed. The study OF geography, chem
istry and physics, for example, ought
to be both disciplinary and informing,
with the stress equally distributed be-
tween form and facts-Boltinore Sen.

WEfDS

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young !;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer IS
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

teristic of the modern WORLDWIDE
vidual freedom. We believe that we
are properly called conservatives.
Equal religious rights, equal social
rights, equal rights to labor, must be
supplemented by equal rights to land.
But while the American people love
freedom, they are also intensely prac-
teal and very properly insist on
knowing just how this result may be
achieved And just here is the great
ness of Henry George revealed. Poet
and seer though he was; he yet gave
to practical detail that careful at
tention without which no great work
was ever accomplished.
The practical proposal is simplicity
itself Land and labor are the pri-
mary factors of all production. Land
is owned by comparatively few. The
produce is therefore divided between
those who labor and those who own
land. The portion going to labor is
earned The portion going to land
lords is the value of privilege. PIivi-
lege is unjust legal advantage. George
proposed to turn privileged values
into the public possession by abolish
ing all taxes on labor or its products
and concentrating all taxes for public
revenue upon the value of land
AS a matter of getting pubic rev.
