pared to tackle the intricacies of self
government. Twenty-three of the
boys started back home a few days

The students appeared happy but
prouder than any of them was Major
Edward J. Vattmann. chaplin U. s. A,
retired, and assistant superintendent of
the insular bureau in charge of all the
Filipino students in this part of the
country.

of them carried off some kind of honor
or prize in the college he attended,"
said Major Vattmann. There was
only one trouble with them-they
studied too hard and we had some diff

doing. Their uppermost thoughts

A campaign against the classical gold frame one constantly sees on pictures Is being made by an American artist, Charles Field of St. Louis. now in Par is. He contends that every frame an artist possesses should be especially designed as regards molding and cary ing to fit given canvas. so it becomes not only part of the picture. but also the thing that shows 1t to best advan- tage. The movement has caused much interest and comment in American art circles. Already John Martin of New York has taken up the new idea. and two of his pictures will be exhibited in the coming autumn salon framed in this way.-Argonaut.

The present panicky situation re- minds one writer of former furries in this country. He says that the panic of 1873 was not due to any tariff legislation, as the chief changes in that law which preceded that crisis were in the removal of war duties on tea. coffee, and the like, which the free traders wanted to keep. and which William D. Kelley worked to have repealed. The crisis of 1873 grew out of the disorganized condition of the currency and the pol icy of resumption of specie payments, inaugurated by Hugh Mccullough and completed by John sherman in lST9 This policy. whatever lte gen eral merits. altered the terms of every outstanding contract. and added to the burden of every unpaid debt The depression of 1881 came after an un- happy reduction of the duties on wool, wOOlens and some other articles. and was felt in those parts Of the country where these industries are located. Ii was not general. IL was different with the depression of IS8-1S9T. which affected the whole country. and which followed the Wilsonl;orman tariff. No doubt the steady rise fin gold. and the consequent increase of the burden of debts. had it's part in that crisis. but the chief cause was the reduction of duties on imports; and. when this was removed by the tariff of 1s97. the depression rapidly changed into a time of general pros perity.
