NO PITCHFORK TICKET.

fhe advocates OF Senator Tillmau
for the Democratic nomination to the
Nlce-Presldency are merely cheap imi-
tators. Because the most picturesque
figure In the Republican party was
available for the second place on the
ticket, because he helped TO carry tho
ticket TO success, because by unhappy
and yet compensated events he became
President and then--because by the
Tree selection Of more American cti-
zeDs than ever before voted Mt one
election for one man for President
he succeeded himself. the friends of
the most picturesque man in the Dem
ocratic party mislead themselves Into
the belief that Ben Tillman. his pitch
fork and his honesty. would add
strength to the Democratic National
ticket. There is nothing in the idea
except an opportunity for the Demo-
cratic party to commit another blum
der. Senator Tillman Is not a states
man lie is a strong. rugged, violent.
honest American citizen with no
adaptability for the presiding office in
the Senate and no possession of the
self-restraint necessary II the death OF
the President should call the Vice
President 10 the White House.
1t Is a mistaken enthusiasm in his
behalf Because ls Is beloved and
trusted by Democrats In general is no
sign that the non-partisan citizenship
Of the United states would view his
candidacy with favor. Taken among
those who know him and whose views
are peculiarly In accord with his own
rddicalism there Is no stronger or
more effective personality. That fact
was demonstrated at the National
convention of the Democracy two
years ago. for, when the Parker gold
telegram was received and there were
charges Of a trick, Honest Ben Till
mans word was the sufficient and only
possible pacihcation OF the outraged
radicals. Before that vast assemblage
he stood wringing his hands and weep
ing in his asseverations of the Integrity
Of the Parker men and of Parker him.
self. and he swaycd the delegates as
not even William Jennings Bryan had
done.
Despite the growth Of Bryan Ia the
popular esteem. and despite the gen
oral recognition of the honesty OF pur-
pose OF Benjamin r.. Tillman. the
Democratic ticket bearing the names
OF Bryan and Tillman would be ac-
cepted throughout the North as being
litilp hpftpr Than YrOLeSgue
The Democracy has not got so many
men OF the Tillman stamp that it can
afford to waste 80 good u one. The
people OF the United States, like his
own immediate fellow citizens OF South
Carolina would not willingly see Ben
Tillman depart from the Senate, His
pitchforls. vigorously welded, has done
much more good than harm; but as
Vice President and as possible Presi-
dent even his best friends would feel
that he was out of place.

TRAINING OF CHILDREN.

~b5htI MtSSHnEtE.
We hear a good deal IN educational
circles about ideals. We are told that
they are responsible largely for the
conduct Of our children and ourselves.
AS the children progress In school,
they don't seem to take their corre-
spending portion OF the care" OF
themselves and the family. The boys
leave II upon the father, the girls upon
the mother, who become the family
servants. Whatever work the chill
oren do is done merely 10 get rid OF
duty, without purpose and without
responsibility. The tendency OF school,
as we see II, is rather to make the
condition worse than better. What
can we do at the election and In the
engagement of teachers 10 help our
condition? We think that the addi-
ton Of studies like agriculture for the
boys. and domestic science for the
girls, would help. Let the girls learn
10 make a pie as well as a poem, and
let the boys analyze the soils. feeds
and agricultural composition, as well
as literary topics.

The lacquer tree OF Japan is very
