 T would just like to have nickel of evEry dollar that went from Mont gomerians' pockets today for amuse- ment. There were probably 300 paid admissions to the ball game this after noon. There Is $225 spent for amuse- ments. Say there were 150 paid ad- missions to tho grand stand. 1t being ladies' day, there's $37. There were, counting ladies and dead heads, 1900 people at the game and every one of these spent at lcast an average of 5 cents at the game. There's another neat bunch of money.
 '"rhere were 1,500 people at Electric Park last night and counting car fare each person spent an average of 50 cents. At Pickett Springs there were probably 800 people during the day that spent an average of 50 cents There was a good crowd at the Casino Theatre last night. At the Sam Jones lecture. there were 300 more people that spent 50 cents. Now if you be- gin figuring soda water, beer, etc, there's no telling where the amount will go.

New-York tribune., 1905-07-23

brought forth supreme leader of art or science to
adorn the wonderful century; and there are other
evidences OF our practical sagaCity than those set
down by Wallace evidences more favorable and of
better augury for our future. We derived our lam
guage and laws, our public Justice and our
representative government, from our English an
cestors. In our time have set an example to
Others and helped along the progress of the world
President Eliot holds that we have made five
important contributions to the advancement of
civilization. First of all we have done more than
any other people to further peaCe-keeping and to
substitute legal arbitration for the brute conflict
OF war. Second, have set a splendid example
of the broadest religious toleration-even though
Holland had first shown the path. Thirdly we
have proved the wisdom of universal manhood
suffrage Fourth by our welcoming of newcomers
from all parts of the earth, have shown that
men belonging to a great variety of races are fit for
political freedom. Finally we have succeeded in
ditfusing material well-beng among the whole popu-
latlon to extent without parallel in any other
country in the world.
These five American contributions to civilization
all of them the result of the practical side of
the American character. To some of us they will
seem commonplace, compared with the
querlng exploits of other races But they are
more than merely PRACTICAL they are all essentially
moral As President Eliot insists, they are "tri-
umphS of reason, enterprise, courage, faith and
justice passion. selishness inertness timiditv
and distrust. Beneath each of these developments
there lies strong ethical sentiment strenuous
moral and social purpose"
\ strong ethical sentiment" and strenuous
moral purpose" cannot flourish unless they are
deeply rooted in idealism. And here we find an
adequate answer to the third assertion of Tostois
visitor who maintained that ''hOstie to
all idealism-" Our idealism may be OF a practical
sort, but it is idealism none the less. Emerson
dealist, although he was also sagacious
of affairs Lincoln was an idealist even if
he was also practical politician, an opportunist,
knowing where he wanted to go but crossing
a bridge before he came to it. Both Emerson and
Lincoln reasts we'll as dealsts with
firm grip the facts of life.
There IS a sham ideasm. boastfu and shabby,
which stares at the moon and stunbles in the mud,
Shelley did and Poe also But the basis of the
highest genius is always a broad cOmmon-sense.
Shakespeare and MOlicre held in esteem by
their comrades for their understanding of affairs;
and they each of them had money out at interest.
Sophocles intrusted with command in battle;
and Goethe was the shrewdest of the Grand Dukes

counsellors. The ideal
ism of Shakespeare and
of Moliere, of Sophocles
and of Goethe, is like
that of Emerson and of
Lincoln; it is vigorous
and vital; it is also un-
failingly practical, and
thereby it is sharply set
apart from the aristo-
cratic idealism of Plato
andof Renan, of Ruskin
and of Nietzsche, which
is founded on obvious
self-esteem and which
is sustained by arrogant
and inexhaustib1e egot-
ism. True idealism is
liberal and tolerant, as
well as practical.
Perhaps it might
seem to be claiming
too much to insist on
New-York tribune., 1905-07-23


certain points of similarity between us and the
Greeks of old The points of dissimiarty only
too evident of and yet there is likeness
well as an unlikeness Professor Butcher has
recently asserted that ''no people was ever
less detached from the practical affairs of life
than the Greeks LESS nsensble to outward utilitv
yet they regarded prosperity as a means, never
an end. The unquiet spirit of gain did not
take possession of their souls Shrewd traders
and merchants, they yet idealiStS. They
did not lose sight of higher and distinctivelv
human aims which give life its significance"
1t will be we'll for if this be said of
civilization two thousand years after its
day is done; and it is for to make sure that
the unquiet spirit of gain" shall not take pos
session of souls. 1t is for also to rise to
the attitude of the Greeks, among whom, as Pro-
tessor Butcher points out, money lavished on
personal enjoyment counted vulgar oriental
inhuman."
There is comfort in the memory of Lincoln and
of those whose death the field of Gettysburg he
commemorated. The men who there gave up their
lives that the country might live had answered to
the call of patriotism, which is of the noblest
images of ideaism There is comfort also in the
recollection of Emerson and in the fact that for
many of the middle years of the nineteenth century
he the most popular of lecturers, with an u1l-
fading attractiveness to the plain people, perhaps
because-in Lowells fine phrase-he kept con-
stantly burning the beacon of ideal life above the
lower region of turmoil" There is comfort again
in the knowledge that idealism is manifestation
of imagination, and that imagination itself is only
a higher form of energy. That we have energy
and to spare, denies; and may reckon
him near-sighted observer who does not see also
that have full share of imagination, even
though it has expressed itself fully in the loftier
regions of art and Of science.

described as dancing. have seen
them, semi-erect, bobbing heads and
moving protruding tongues with a

A storekeeper who had a private

every one was exhausted. He says he
was aware of some weight pressing on
his shoulders, but was too tired to
think about II. On a sofa under the
window lay a child with the tube Of a
feeding bottle between its lips.
The storekeeper soon realized what
weighed upon him. A tiger snake
leaped from his shoulders to the sofa
and went straight for the feeding bot
tie. At the close Of an exciting couple
of minutes the members Of the house
hold had forgotten their exhaustion and
the snake was killed. The storekeeper

are friendly to young children, on oc-

affection for them, they can be charg-
ed with harboring unstinted enmity for
boys and girls Of from 8 to 10 years
up. The antipathy appears to be mu-
tual. The bush chronicles an endless
war between them. Numbers Of boys

the bite is on finger or toe the average

quite common thing to find two OF

COTTON GINNING RETURNS.
They Will Be Made More Complete In
Future by the Census Bureau.

Active preparations are now MAX
ing at the census Office for the col
lection of cotton ginning returns
with a thoroughness and fullness
never equalled in any preceding year.
A new set Of Instructions to agents
has been carefully prepared in the
census office and will be given out
within a very few days. These in
structions make plain certain chang
es in the methods of gathering fig
ures and transmitting them to
Washington.
It will be recalled that the law
under which these statistics are
gathered, calls for weekly returns,
but that the expense Of getting out
such returns as we'll as difficulties
Of organization have made 1t here
tofore impossible to comply with the
strict letter of the law. For the
first year Of the system undertaken
by the census bureau, but three
sets of returns were issued. The
second year this number was
doubled, there being six returns.
During this year 1t will be sought
to have ten sets of returns or two
month. thus coming much nearer
to the requirements of the law than
ever before. The number Of agents
In the employ Of the census bureau
for this purpose, which was 626 the
first year and 667 the second, has
now been raised to over 700. and
the dates for the new returns will
be September /, September 25, Oc-
! tober IS, November IA, December I,
December 13, January 1, January
16, and a final date not yet fixed.
The returns will show the quantity
Of cotton ginned up to and includ-
ing each Of these dates. AS soon as
the new instructions are sent out the
machinery will be fully put into
running order.
Great interest Is being manifested
in the work this year by ginners
and producers in all parts Of the south
number Of letters from persons who
desire to suggest ways Of improving
on the methods employed or max
ing the returns more perfect. Some
Of these letters seem to be intended
to catch the Office in errors, but
thus far no serious flaws in the
system have been detected.-Wash-
