A Lesson to Demaeopues.


New York Tribune: The Hearst idea
of government which is in many re-
spects similar to that which prevailed
in France about 1890, when the ex-
erciSe OF the right of petition Consisted
in moving in mob on Versailles or
the Tulleries, received deserved set
back yesterday. Five hundred men
and boys. gathered together by the
modern Improvement on the Coxev
army method, invaded the Executive
Chamber without notice and demanded
a hearing the Governor with whom
no appointment had been made. The.
Governor properly refused to see them.
The Governor is public servant, but
he is not the Office boy of every group
of persons who presume to cali them
selves the public. The Governor
especially in the closing days of the
session, is extremely busy. Even state
officers, who are obliged to consult
with him in the transaction of public
business, often find difficulty in seeing
him except by previous appointment.
Delegations which desire a hearing on
any matter pending before him owe it
to the state as well as to him to ask if
he can fix time for a reception. If
the Governor had been entirely at
leisure and willing to waive the dis
courtesy of descent by crowd hav-
ing legitimate business with him. he
would still have been more than
justified in refusing to see the Hearst
mob. 1t had no business with him.
The measure which 1t favors has not
passed the legislature and is not before
the governor for hearings. The at
tempt to overawe him by number and
the demand that he should give them
the legislation which they desired in
vited the rebuke which was bestowed.
The accounts of various independent
witnesses agree that the mob shouted
and cheered in the Executive Chamber.

the Governor if he had received It. If

rebukes from the leader of the delega-
ton itself-is sufficient commentary
upon the claim of such body to SER

public officers.

4 Famous Retreat.

The late General Schofield was once
describing in Washington a certain
retreat of cavalry.
Il call it a retreat" he said, but
should really call it a rout."
He smiled.
In this retreat" he Went one, the
commanding general as his charger
tore like the wind along, turned to an
aide who galloped beside his and said:
Who are our rearguard?'
The aide, without ceasing for an
instant to belabor his painting steed,
replied:

any other so capable of that euphony
that is SO pleasing to the ear.
The trouble has been of late years
in the public schools that the study of
language has run to fads. Language
teaching has had an attractive name,
and it has used it for all it was worth.
The result has been that the pupils
have learned language in the same
manner the negroes of the south learn
ed it in slave time. There the house
servants OF the educated people could
use the most comprehensive words
without knowing single reason for
the particular use, or the elements
which gave them their Importance.
They learned them from hearing them
repeated. So are the children of to-
day learning the English language.
The text books on language are
nothing more than the repetition of
sentences without giving the learner
the faintest idea of the reason for the
use. 1t is entirely superficial and ar
bitrary. 1t is the shadow instead of
the substance.
This idea of the teaching of language
had its origin in what was true re-
form in spelling. For years the child
was compelled 10 study the letters of
the word rather than the word itself.
Later he learned the word by it's APP
pearance to the eye. He learned it as
Il whole rather than by it's disconnected
elements.
Then il was argued that if the child
could learn the word by appearance,
why could he not learn the sentence
in the same manner?
The advocates of the theory failed
to see one important distinction. Words
are an established fact and they are
therefore interchangeable in formation
while sentences were never staple.
The words were arranged so that they
might express the thoughts of the user
This required selection of words and
the arrangement of them with refer
ence to each other 1t required con-
struction.
The children who have been taught
by the superficial method of the present
day are able to reproduce with ac-
curacy the work they have done in
the school room but they are utterly
unable to form proper and expressive
sentences out of the mass of words
which constitute their vocabulary.
They are imitators rather than con-
structionist, and the later means
thinkers.
If instead Of the present system the
children were taught the principles
which govern the use of proper Eng
lish-were taught the science of the
language, they would know the rea-
son why certain words and arrange
ments OF words constitute it's proper
use, and they could out of their vo-
cabularies form sentences which would
clearly express their thoughts.
Instead of this We have a great
army of people who are unable to use
the mother tongue and the language
that will be the accepted one of the
civilized world in a few years. The
inability of the average student to use
the English language properly is cry
ing for reform that will become louder
until it is needed.

American Goods Popular in Canada.

Consul Norman of Three Rivers re-
ports that American shoes are gener-
ally popular in Canada. American
kitchen and table ware, with proper
methods pursued on the part of the
manufacturers, are finding permanent
markets in the provinces of Quebec
and Ontario; so also are the better
class of house decorations and fur
nishings, and here and there enamel
ware and kitchen supplies generally.
There Is rapidly growing trade in
American-made clothing. both for
ladies and gentlemen, and even for
wines and drugs the market is capable
OF wide Improvement, while American
clocks and musical instruments are
also gaining ground.

Chairman Of House Military Commit.
tee Says United states Must Be

Washington.-Cha Hull, Of
the military affairs committe, in pre-.
senting the army appropriation bill to
the house Wednesday urged the
necessity of complete preparedness
as to our army and navy, for trouble
in the Orient. He declared that any
nation not prepared to defend its DO
sition in China might as well haul
down its flag and quit the Pacific.
Incidentally Mr.. Hull pronounced
Minister Rockhill guilty of an indis-
erection in indicating to Chinese OH.
Gals that the United States intended
returning the G20,000,O0O sterling
Boxer indemnity paid. Statements of
this kind, he said, will be taken by
the Chinese as an indication that the
United States was afraid rather than
liberal.
Mr.. Hull secuted the idea that ia
pan was interested in stirring up trou-
Bile in China to injure the United
States. Japan's interests in China. he
said, were identical with those of the
United States and preservation of
peace there was the only manner in
which they could be maintained.
Speeches on tariff, immigration and
he Payne customs house bill con.
