MAJOR ALEXANDER Mcdowell,
of Sharon, CLERK of the lower house of
Congress, and lifelong machine repub-
lican, while in Pittsburg, Pa, yesterday
spoke of the trouble in the eastern part
of the State as follows:
The leaders of the republican party Of
Pennsylvania will have to get back to
the old-tashioned honesty if they want
to keep control OF the State. Grafters
and stealing in the State, nation, coun-
ties and cities must stop. And the soon
err the Office holders get to thinking that
office is a public trust and that the PEG
pie must be consulted, the better it will
be.
Now the first thingMaj Mcdowell knows
he will lose his place, for republican poll
iticians will not stand being upbraided by
Office holders in their own party. Then
what would the republican party be
without graft, anyway?

Rees' New Field of ODeratiOn

The invasion Of bees, first invited to
the business section of New Brunswick,
n. j., by half-burned and melting con-
fectionery in the store Of NJ. CONSTANT
nos, has become a really serious matter.
The bees swarm in thousands over the

extended their field of operation to fruit
displayed in all the stores within a
block, and several persons have been
stung. COnstantinos tried to enter his
burned place two days ago and received
a sting that blinded one eye temporarily.
Members OF the fire patrol, who were
guarding the ruins for the insurance
adjusters, also received several painful
stings. 1t is great fun for the people in
stores to watch the antics of men and
women who come upon the bees un-
aware. A small puddle of mud in the
street has been greatly in demand for

COMPLAINT is made in various sec
tons of this city of the unsanitary con-
dition of the streets and alleys. Refuse
from houses is thrown into the streets,
while the grass and weeds, under the in
huence of the sun and heavy rains, are
growing most luxuriantly and should be
cut down. This state of affairs is not
coniaed to the streets and alleys on the
suburbs but extends throughout the city.
This should not be and this is no time OF
year to take chances of the health of the
city not being affected. If those who
have such matters in charge cannot at
tend to street improvements, sewer lay
ing aud street cleaning at the same time,
then street cleaning should have the
preference and all efforts should be made
to put the city in a sanitary condition.

turned him loose. He went off and armed

ON CHILD EDUCATION.
Great Liberty Must Be Allowed Child
During Training.

University. July 5.-(speeial.)-Thi
morning at 1880 Mr.. Hughes delivered his
second lecture before the summer school
on the subject of child development and
training the central thought Of which
was that the child must have perfect
liberty in development, but the liberty
must be under the law. It is the teach
of human life and not to throttle his Gre
alive powers by always telling him what
he must not do.
There are three elements always APP
Parent in the child whcih are frequently

said. These are a love to do things a

and love to do things in cooperation
with others The child loves to play be-
cause he does what he himself has plan
ned; he dislil1es work simply because
some one else has done the planning for
him. The child must not be robbed of
these three central elements In the
growth of the race, they must be encour-
aged In doing and in doing what they
themselves have though out"
Doing" he said. results in five things:
More power to do, more tendency to
do, more joy in doing, more faith, and,
greatest of all, revelation OF what one
may achieve"
1t is needless to attempt to speak Of
the eoquence of Mr. Hughes talks, for
the large crowds that greet him at each
lecture give evidence of their worth to
the teachers and people in genral. Though
all of his talks have been along educa-
tional lines each one might be construed
as a powe- full exposition of the gospel of

the veterans see to II that In all Confeder-

the spirit of cooperation will be made
prominent They will be encouraged to
frequently attend the camps of the vet

the sons are of the heroic mold of the
fathers, they will labor increasingly as
well as ungrudgingly of time and means,
to meet their protested responsibilities.
Will this appeal be In vain? VIII your
officers be left to toll on alone, or will
you join with them?
