He wasnr "pc-light-ed.o

A Washington special TO the Phila-
delphia Record says: Gen. Daniel z.
Slckels recited bit of unwritten his
tory on the Presidents special train
coming back from Gettysburg that
made Mr.. Roosevelt frown when he
heard about it.
MIR. Roosevelt is the first President
since Lincoln to speak It Gettysburg.
In commenting on the fact Gen. Sickels
said that during President Cleveland's
first term he secured a promise from
him that he would deliver a Memorial
Day address at Gettysburg. A week
before the date Mr.. Cleveland wrote
Gen. Sickels that he had changed his
mind. In his letter, Mr.. Cleveland said
he was not at the battle of Gettysburg,
and knew nothing about 1t except what
he had read; that he thought IL would
be presumptuous for anyone who
did not take part in the
famous struggle and was not
familiar with the battle-ground
and all that happened there to speak
on that hallowed ground. And besides,
said Mr.. Cleveland, President Lincoln
said all there was to say in the very
best way in which it could be said, and
that any President who tried to elabor-
ate on his immortal speech would suf-
fer by comparison.
Gen. Sickels told Of the incident to
the party In the smoking car Of the
special train. When it was reported to
the President he did not smile.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York World (Dem.) says:
ut would not seem possible to keep
the tariff from becoming one Of the
leading issues of the campaign. The
evil of the Dingley schedules obtrudes
itself into the campaign. 1t cannot
be ignored. 1t will not be evaded."
Dem.) says FAN esteemed contem-
porary says it is how conceded that
the Democratic factions will not get
together at St. Louis. oh yes they
will. The dog may have some little
misunderstanding with his tail, but he
will wag it all the same"
The Washington Post Qnd) says:
Representative Livingston. of Georgia,
is now booming Mr.. Cleveland for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
This completes the list of men who have
been mentioned. and Mr. Livingston
will have an L told you So to hand
to the winner, whoever he ntay be-"
The Baltimore Herald Qnd.) says.
Although Judge Parker is not sup
posed to be thoroughly familiar with
the ways of politicians, yet there is
no danger that he will be deceived by
their tricks. Those who are opposing
his nomination have about despaired
of inducing him to say anything for
publication. The judge probably knows
that no matter what he might say some
part of his utterance would be dis
torted by his enemies for a purpose.
Hence the wisest course is to say moth
ing. The question he has probably
put to himself is, Why should he say
anything? What he has uttered or
written in the past is sufficient. he
and his friends think, TO convince the
people that his democracy is sound.
II is an old trick in politics to seek
to make a man convict himself by
contrasting past utterances with pres
ent declarations and promises. The
American people have seen instances,
and recently. too, Of men talking them
selves to death and not being aware
of II until nearly the time whens the
services of a political undertaken are
required The wisest and most success
ful man in politics is he who refrains
from talking, unless he has something
new or valuable TO say to the
people"

The uncerfnin Fnture.

Her father had read her the parable
of the sheep and the goats at the day
of judgment, says Town and Country.
She made no comment, but that night
a sound of weeping came from her
room. Her mother went as consider.
why are you crying, dear?"
About the goats! Oh, I'm so afraid
I'm a goat!"
Why, no, dearie, you are sweet
little lamb, and if you should die to-
night you would go straight to heav-
en-" With this and like assurances
she was finally pacif1ed.
The next night the same performance
was repeated, and again her mother
inquired the reason.
''It's the goats; I'm 'fraid about the
goatsl"
Didn't 1 tell you, dear, that you
were little lamb?'
oh" she sobbed, I'm not crying
about myself, but I'm 'fraid you may
be a goat"

If there is fetch in our American
educational system, it is our slavish
devotion to mathematics" said Prof.
Giffen of the Chicago public schools
the other day. He expressed the opin-
ion that mathematics should be elm
mated entirely from the first and sec
ond grades, because the children of
those grades are too young to master
the construction of problems in arith-
metic and do not know what is being
asked of them. It may be true, as the
professor says, that too much stress is
put upon the importance of mathe-
mates. There is not much more than
one person in five hundred of those who
come out of the public schools that
ever has any use for the higher mathe-
matics in adult life. Yet it is a fact
that there is no better discipline for
the reasoning powers than hard drill
ing in mathematics. Without a fair
knowledge of mathematics-that is of
the simple and essential rules of arith-
metic-it is impossible for one to con-
ceive fair and adequate idea or pro-
portions and relative values. Mathe-
MATES is one of the famous three RS"
reading, 'riting and rithmetic"-
everywhere regarded as essential to
any and every education. Still, math-
ematics should not be worshipped, to
the disadvantage of the other two
'r's''

The Arab Wanted Proof.

The Arab is such a roman cer himself
that he looks with suspicion uoon every
statement he cannot verify ersonally.
says the Contemporary Review. Al
incident, described to me by the Brit
ish participant in it, illustrates this
Arab characteristic. A shalk was dis
cussing with the commandant of "a
British vessel the points of %. Turkish
gunboat which lay before them in one
of the harbors. The Arab thought the
gunboat more powerful than that of
any British vessel he had seen. The
conclusion he at once drew, ard frank
ly expressed, was to the effect that Tur-
key was a greater naval power than
Great Britain. He was shown a pic
ture of the Channel fleet. but that did
rot alter his impression. These are
only pictures" he said. 1T is easy to
make pictures"

FANATrCIsM of MORMON WOMEN.

From publications hostile to Mormon
ism that often find their way into
circulation the impression gained re-
specting Mormon women is that they
find their condition intolerable-espe
cially those who are plural wives. 1t
would seem as if all Mormon women
would object to polygamy. 1t appears,
however, that some of them are SO IA
natical that they accept it, believing
they will have their reward in the next
world.
Salt Lake City dispatch to the New
York Herald says a committee of Nor
mon women, headed by a plural wife
of Angus NJ. Cannon, one of the lights
of the Mormon Church, is exerting ev-
cry effort to prevent an anti-polyg-
amy plank from being put into the
Democratic platform. They have call
ed upon those who will likely be dele
gates to the st. Louis convention from
Utah. and have urged them to use
their influence to prevent such d plank
from being offered, but to vote
for it If offered, or at least to
say nothing against it, for the reason
that if the Mormon delegates were to
oppose it their action would be the text
for sermons in all parts of the
country against Mormonism. The COM
mittee of Mormon women hope to pre-
vent the introduction of an anti-polyg-
amy plank and thus avoid any discus
csa % e., AL
campaign.
1t is reported that Senator Dubois
of Idaho has prepared an anti-polyg-
amy plank for the Democratic platform
which he will offer at st. Louis. Per-
haps the knowledge of his purpose is
the cause of the action that is being
taken by the committee of Mormon
women.
Are the Mormon women sincere in
their efforts to prevent agitation of the
polygamy feature of Mormonism? Per-
haps they are directed by the Mormon
Church to try and stop the agitation,
and thus give the impression to the
world that they are satisfied with their
condition.
1t doesn't seem reasonable that the
Mormon women would be willing to
see polygamy flourish in their commu-
mites unless they are so fanatical that
they are willing to endure anything
for the sake of the religion which
they profess. 1t may be that they be-
lieve that in proportion as they suffer
on earth they win be rewarded in
heaven. But, whatever their motive,
it is certain they are endeavoring TO
prevent agitation of the question of
polygamy.
There is no doubt that the investiga-
ton of the Smoot case that is now
pending in the United States Senate is
the cause of a great deal of uneasi-
ness in Utah. The Mormons are
afraid that the outcome OF it will be
legislation that will be burdensome to
them. From the evidence given in
that case it is evident that the Nor
mons have never abandoned polygamy,
notwithstanding the fact that the
church promulgated a declaration
against it. 1t is secretly practiced,
and there seems ground for saying
that the Mormons are looking forward
to the time when they will have
enough political influence TO enable
them to practice it openly and teach
it. The good women of this country.
however, will never tolerate polygamy.

THE SOUTH TO THE FRONT AGAIN.

II is announced that Senator Bailey
of Texas will be the temporary and
John Sharp Williams. the minority
leader of the House. the permanent,
chairman of the Democratic National
Convention. These are. good selections,
Both are able parliamentarians and
both are popular men. Both have been
mentioned in connection with the nom
ination for President, and Mr.. Williams
has been strongly urged to become a
candidate for the nomination for Vice
President. 1t isn't probable, however,
that either of them will have a place
on the ticket. Neither believes it
would be advisable for a Southern man
to seek either the presidential or the
They are agreed. however, that the
time isn't far distant when the South
will furnish candidates for both places.
And there isn't any good reason why
the South shouldn't be thinking about
providing the Democratic party with
presidential candidates. 1t will soon be
forty years since the close of the Civil
War, and it is certainly time that all
sectional feeling had disappeared. We
are sure that a Southern man would be
as warmly welcomed by Northern
Democrats as a presidential candidate
as a Northern Democrat would. Be
sides, the South furnishes the bulk OF
the electoral votes which the Demo-
cratic ticket gets.
In both the Senate and the House the
Democrats are led by Southern men,
Senator German being the Democratic
leader in the Senate and Mr.. Williams
the Democratic leader in the House.
Before the Civil War the South was
famous for the statesmen she sent to
Washington, and there is no good rea-
the real rulers of the nation. she is
the most American part of the republic,
only small proportion of her popula-
ton being foreigners. That being the
case it is but reasonable to suppose
that she possesses more Of the genuine
American spirit than the North does.
Because there is such slight mixture
of the foreign element in her popula-
tion she ought to be in closer touch
with the purposes and motives by
which the fathers of the republic were
guided than the North is.
Mr.. Williams makes an admirable mi
nority leader Of the House, and it is a
safe prediction that he will make a
popular chairman of the st. Louis con-
vention. He will make so good an i'm
preston that Northern Democrats will
see the ACCESSIBILITY of depending more
upon Southern men for advice and
counsel in the management of the
party's affairs.

ing with rattlesnake venom as a cure
for leprosy, and he. thinks he has hit
upon the specific for one of the most
loathsome diseases, that human flesh is
heir to. Should he succeed in demon
strating that the snake poison will cure
this plague, rattlesnakes would at once
become commercially valuable. The
market value of the poison is about
