SPIRIT

The splendid gatherings at
practically all Of the Republ-
can meetings held thus far in
the campaign. are almost with
out parallel in latter day politi-
cal history. There was a time,
il is said. when political
speaking was made an occasion
90 stop every thing else SO that
every body might attend. but in
more recent years the tendency
has been toward adjuring the
political meetings aud depend
ing more upon the newspapers
for keeping abreast with the
developments OF interest. IL has
been notable fact that at
every one of Mr.. Slemp's meet
ings there have gathered much
/ larger crowds than have ever
been known at those places for
many years, If ever before. The
same is true of the Muncy
meetings at the Pound and
Keokee. as we'll as Of the
throngs that greeted Mr.. Giles
pie and Senator Harmon at
/ Olinger and Dryden. These
unusual outpourings Of people
denote two things. First, the
vital character Of the interest
- which is being taken in the
! present campaign by the people
( of this section; and, second, the
, enthusiastic determination of
Mr.. Slemp's supporters in this
giOn TO give him the largest
, vote that has ever been cast for
e him. This means one thing
- victory. The heart of the peo

Copenhagen. Jan 19.-The committee o.
the University OF Copenhagen has com

its previous conclusions that not the slight

North Pole has been submitted
The committee finds that the copy OF
Cocks data, upon which It's previous de-
clsion was based, conforms in the main
70 the original notebook now in It's posses
sion The latter the examiners say, con
raius various alterations, but there is
nothing 10 show whether the changes
were made with the purpose OF deceiving.
While the ccnsisrory was unanimous in
declaring that Cooks claims were abso-

DEFENDS SCHOOLS
French Minister 4n8zcers CATH
oIic Denntiea.

Paris, Jan. IN Couuergue Minister
of Public instruction. replied to-day 70 the
violent attacks made by the Catholic Depu-
ties upon the character Of the teaching in
The public schools. which attacks had oc.
cupied three days Of the Chamber sitting
As N. Doumergue outlined the policy Of
the government his speech evoked round
after round of applause from the RepubIi-
cans. He declared that the war proclaimed
by the Church against the public schools
was directed exclusively by enemies Of the
republic, insisting that The letter OF the
eptscopate constituted an attempt by
threats 70 enforce the superiority OF the
Church's authority over that Of The gov
zrnmenr.
N Doumergue charged that the Catholic
complaints against the textbooks OF his
tory used II the public schools were due
solely 10 the fact that these histories gave
the facts irapartially, and contrasting these
with the histories used in the Catholic
schools. he quoted from the latter to prove
that they taught not the history of world
events. but the history OF the Church. and
condemned everything inimical TO the
Church's interests He asserted that the
campaign which the country understood 10
be purely political had failed except IN
few isolated districts.
NJ Doumergue announced that in addi-
ton 20 the measures already made known
the government would introduce bills re-
curing diplomas from Catholic school
teachers IN conformity with the laws Of
hygiene, etc, that were applicable 10 the
faculties OF the public schools.

As the result OF careful treatment the
paralysis has almost disappeared, but the
