THE PRESENT PANIC AND THE
REPUBLICANS

During the administration of Mr..
Cleveland, when the Democrats were
in control of the government, there
came, first an industrial panic, and
thousands of laborers were cut off and
thrown out of work. There followed.
OF course, money panic, and mon
ey became very scarce, or hard To get.
Prices dropped and there was general
stagnation every where, and soup
houses and bread-lineS' were estab
lished in every city. The Republican
newspapers all over the country seiz-
ed upon the opportunity, and laid all
the blame for the hard times on the
Democratic party. They hOwled all
over the country, that the hard times
had been brought about by Demo-
cratic administration, although they
knew. and everybody knew, that the
panic was Imminent when Mr.CIeVe-
land was elected, having had its Le-
ginning in the administration of his
predecessor, a Republican. What is
the situation today? The country has
a panic on hand, under Il Republican
ADMINISTRATION, whose duration and
extent cannot be foretold. Already

WHAT THE

Their Untiring Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy
Ali the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter blood.
! They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
OF impure matter daily when unhealthy
some part OF this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on mlny
diseases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, dis
orders OF the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness, Irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine. etc. But il you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.

SELLING LIQUOR TO MINORS

In another column will be found an
account of two liquor dealers being
arrested and fined for violation of
the law prohibiting the sale of liquor
10 boys under TWEEN y-one years OF
age. The law is rigid and strict on
this point. 1t often occurs, no doubt,
that liquor is sold TO minors with
out the knowledge of the seller. This
may have been the case here. Ii is
not always possible for the bar keep
or To know or ascertain the age of his
customer. The law should provide
that the buyer rs well ms the seller
should be punished. No boy, under
twenty-one years of age, should be
allowed 10 go into bar room To
buy liquor under penalty of fine
or imprisonment, or both, putting
him on the same footing as the sell
er. This would be fair, and would
not put the liquor merchant so en-
tirely at the mercy of INSCRIPTIONS
or ignorant boys. As il is the liquor
dealer, however hard he may try and
earnestly he may wish To obey the
law, is liable To be imposed upon AT
any time AN many times by design
ing boys, whose appearance may give
no indication of their age. The law
should be amended. What about pa

Are parents doing their duty-their
full duty To their boy. In many i'm
stances, no. In many cases parents
lose all control of their boys long be
fore the boys reach II years of age.
The boys do as they please, go where
they please, associate with whom
they please, stay out ut night rs late
as they choose, all either with the
consent Of their parents or i'm defiance
of their wishes and commands. If
these boys fall victims TO drink and

How 10 Make the Public School 2
Success

y public school teacher should ex-
ert every effort to have the pupils
make the best possible use of their
time.
The pupils should prepare n lesson
in every branch they are studying
before coming to the school room. If
pupils have not made any prepara-
tion for their recitation before COM
ing 10 the school room, what n bur
den rests on their minds!
If the pupils have prepared reel
tation in every branch they pursue,
ii is difficult TO keep them mt home.
The cause of many pupils not en-
joying school is traced to the fact
that parents do not require their
children TO prepare their lessons be-
fore going 10 school. Many pupils
often come 10 the school room with
out having prepared II lesson. Schools
can never be n success unless the pat
rons of the school require lesson in
each study before coming To school.
If patron of Il public school thinks
that the teacher has made Il mistake
in correcting pupil, the parent
should tell the child the teacher did
right. Then the parent can call on the
teacher and learn the nature of the
offence committed and the punish
ment administered. If parent talks
in an abusive manner about a teach
er, the parent is deadly enemy TO
the school. Patrons or other persons
in a community should never criti-
else teacher in the presence of
pupils. If patrons, instead of talking
in the presence of pupils would see
the teacher privately regarding any
differences in opinion public schools
would be brilliant success.
The teacher should never criticise
parents in the presence of their child
rem. 1t is evil and wicked for teach
res To criticise parents in the presence
of their children. Teachers should
teach pupils to love and respect their
parents. The teachers and the patrons
of public schools should realize the
weight of responsibility resting upon
them.
The teacher and parents should live
as they wish their children to live.
Teachers should teach character by
example.
If the teacher has anything 10 say
about n patron, he should see the
patron face to face. Only coward
talks behind your back. Public
schools if properly patronized and
appreciat d are the means of accom-
plishing much good. Many men have
filed prominent positions of trust
and honor with no education except
what the <public school afforded.
Public schools make colleges posi-
bic. CollegeS are not prepared to do
public school york.
Education originates I'm the public
school. The public school is the
fountain of knowledge. If boys and
girls do not acquire "a patron of the
public school course they will never
acquire a college education.
The public schools are the found
atoms of lleges.
