Dalzell's Contention.

The fairness of the rule to all mem

apparent, since it afforded full OPpor-
tunity to vote on both bills offered by
the two parties. The rule was also de-
Tended by Mr. GroseVnOr of Ohio.
MessTs. Townsend OF Minnesota, one
OF the authors OF the bill under con-
sideTatiOn, and Richardson of Alabama
occupied the remainder of the day in
discussing il. both sounding a note of
warning to the railroads that unless
they joined hands with congress in the
matter the people would demand more
drastic legislation.
Before taking up the question of
freight rates, the house adopted the
replication of the committee of seven
managers to the reply of Judge Swayne

IT was reiterated that Judge SWayne
was guilty OF the crimes alleged against
him.

Why Stop With Burton7

for Washington stated TO the WINTER
when asked his opinion OF the result:
II shall be a more surprised man

sington bases his belief ON errors

what ID the purpose Of 1t all7 Why
does Johnnie go to school?
He 10 sent that he may get intel

found in the high school course is of
no value to many students. Every

right to such training in the schools
- shall help him to prepare for that
struggle. Any theory Of public edu-
cation which limits 1t to merely the
training Of the brain in the common

false. Latin and Greek are good in
their place, but there are minds In
which they work no benefit. Why
mot 70 arrange it that such pupils get
|the training they can use to practical
advantage. Often the years Of
schooling are few, Of necessity before
the strenuous fight Of life begins. II
the school cannot help its pupils to
help themselves, 1t fails. Business
training, training for the various lines
Of work at which the man earns his
bread, Is entirely within the province
Of the public school. Training for the
duties Of the home would probably
do Johnnie's sister more good than
the dead language or higher mathe-
nlAtics. A cooking school diploma
might be better than . certificate Of
proficiency In German and French.
At any rate these things are worth

But such a misfortune may be prevent

by turning hose upon it and allowing
the water to freeze until the whole We

Cars used for transporting oranges
and other fruit from California to the

large cylindrical "ice Stoves" as they
might be called, at each end, which,
while useful in summer time for re-
