Democratic Inconsistency
Party That Is Now Den ouncing Speaker Cannon for
Czarism' Once Denied the Constitutional
Right of Petition

/ nent since the war and were COM
| PEELED to retire because the
people decided they were I'M
!! worthy of confidence and not
equal to the task imposed upon them.
During their brief control OF the
house, thew were forced in party eau
Gus, to adopt as their own the rules
had branded as the most "damnable
and tyrannical rules ever written. !"
These same men are now abusing the
Cannon rules, while they are in fact
the same as the Reed rules which from
the necessity of our form of legisla-
ton they adopted under Carlisle.
No one not knowing the history of
the Democratic party would ever think
these followers of Thomas Jefferson
would be guilty of enacting rule,
which if enacted by either party to
day. would cause armed rebellion
throughout our land-one in direct VIC
lation of the first amendment to the
constitution of the United States
which guarantees the right of petition.
When James K. Polk was speaker OF
the house in 1888, Mr.. Adams, former
ly secretary of state, also President of
the United States, but then serving in
congress, and while not in sympathy
with the Abolitionists, yet conscious of
their constitutional rights, introduced
their petition to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia, whereupon the
Democrats, with the assistance of In
slirgent Wings, passed this unconsti- |
tutional rules, to-wit:
Every petition, memorial, resolu-
ticn, proposition or paper, touching or
relating in any way or to any extent |
whatever to slavery, or the abolition
thereof shall on presentation, without |
any further action be laid upon the
table. without being debated, printed |
or referred
With the approval of the Reed 7
rules as their own and the passing of

the Anterior Gag the Democratic
party should forever be disqualified

To the Editor of The Gate City:


| If one should form his opinion from
| press reports he would at once con
I clude that professional politicians seek
1 to gain applause from those who do
not read or reason by simply declaring
/ they are not an Aldrich or Cannon
man.
Aldrichism and Cannonism are syn
onymous terms for Brains. and while
brains are the highest priced com.
modify in the American market, it is
evidently the lack of them which
causes so many mediocre politicians
to rail against these two prominent
men who certainly have surplus of
this priceless article So far, Mr..
Bristow, of Kansas, is the only insur-
gent with courage enough to specific
ally charge Senator Aldrich with any
wrong-doing, and the consensus of
opinion-after reading Senator AL
drich's reply-is that all these charges
were not only false but absolutely
malicious.
On account of the utter lack of true
manly courage on the part of those
who placed him in office, Mr.. Joe Can.
non in his old age, standing on the
edge of an open grave, is heroically
and defantly bearing the sins of a
Republican congress which imposed
on him the burden of executing some
very unpopular parliamentary rules.
There he stands. eighty years old, a.
hero, the under-dog in this unholy

people, but to crafty the ambition of
a few detestable. smart politicians.

housewives. they will justify almost
any expense
Most persons will agree with Mr.
Rogers when he says that what is
wanted in any school is curriculum
so elastic that every sort of normal
child will get some good out OF it. In
most cases of dull" children 1t is the
form Of instruction and not the child
that is at fault. We must get away
from mere book-learning. All instruc.
ton must be of a practical nature;
and it should be remembered that
what interests boys as well as men is
generally that which is best for them
to be instructed in.

THE MODEL PUBLIC SCHOOL.

In his sixth paper under the title.
What is Wrong With Our Public
Schools" Mr.. Joseph NJ. Rogers out
lines in the June number of Lippin-
colts a model school, He contends
/ that our schools have failed to accom-
{ plish all that is expected of them be-
/ cause they have not fully recognized
I nothing original in human being. Per-
| sonality is a definite creation, but ed
ucation, can do vast things for every
individuality, and everyone needs spec
iaI treatment Some persons cannot
be educated beyond certain point,
while others seem to have few limita-
tions. To run all through the same
groove is impossible. Chicago, Mr..
Rogers tells his readers, is the first
city in the United States to recognize
this. She is building fifty new school
houses, at a cost of $4,000 each.
Every one of these is to have "a gym
nasium, a swimming pool, play
ground, and manual and domestic
economy outfits" Even these plans
fall short of the necessary require
ments.
In depicting his model school, Mr..
Rogers supposes a city school, it be-
1 ing possible to inaugurate reforms
most easily in such an institution:
The graded school building would
have large grounds. be OF good archl-
lecture and eligibly situated It would
be arranged for classes of no more
than twenty-five, but each floor, ac-
i cording to modern construction, would
+ be capable of being thrown into a
single room. Artistic and sanitary
conditions would exist everywhere
There would be plants and pictures,
aquaria and gymnasia, rest-rooms
I workrooms, and library, with small
I laboratories and collections Of miner
ais, woods, etc. There would be sim
( pie scientific apparatus and on each
/ floor arrangements for moving pic
/ lures of ordinary lantern-slide dis
I plays.
The school ought to be the most inn
/ posing and the best appointed building
in the community; it should be look
ed upon by every citizen as the most
important place next to his home;
it should be sort of clubhouse for
the neighborhood; and, in general, it
should be 80 attractive that children
would consider it deprivation to
stay away from it." The following pro-
gram represents, in condensed form,
Mr.. Rogers idea of how day should
/ be occupied in the model school:
+ After devotional exercises, the prin-
cipal teachers on each floor would
give brief summary of the important
news of the day which would be of in
terest and Importance to children ac.
cerding TO their age. The
next hour would be devoted to aca-
deric work in the classrooms, with
the teachers giving the needed help
to pupils who are perplexed. The
children would not be expected to sit
rigidly in silence at their desks, Meth
er would they be allowed to make a
disturbance They should be made
to take such an interest in their work
that discipline would scarcely be
thought of.

Some of the papers in the First dis
trict are having quite a controversy
over the question whether Mr.. Pol
lard, the Democratic nominee for con
gress from this district, is rich or
poor. The discussion leads the Don
nelson Review to say:
What difference does it make
whether he is rich or poor? Neither
one is crime, although the latter
condition is sometimes embarrassing.
If he's rich it isn't likely that he
will spend his money to buy votes,
and if he's poor he can't. While we
have never met the gentleman. we
understand he is an allround good fell
low. but honestly he stands no more
chance of being elected 10 congress
from the First district of Iowa than
we do of taking first prize in a beauty
show.

he may have married after the divorce.
This seems to be rather far-fetched,
but let's be charitable. Maybe the
size of the deceased husbands estate
warranted the ruling.

BILL ME ON FOX HUNTING
He Considered It a Moet Thrilling Pastime fer Sons of the Ameri-
 can Nobility.

''Fox-hunting is one of the most thrilling pastimes of which I know" said Bill Nye, "and for young men whose parents have amassed large sums of money in the intellectual pur- suit of hides and tallow, the meet, the chase, the scamper, the full cry, the cover, the stellated fracture, the yelp of the pack, the yip, the yell of tri- umph, the confusion, the whoop, the holla, the haloos, the hurrah, the abra- sion, the snort of the hunter, the con- cussion, the sward, the open, the earth stopper, the stranguIated hernia, the glad cry of the hound as he lays at his masters feet the strawberry mark of the rustic, all, all are exhilarating g to the sons of the American nobility. Fox-hunting combines the danger and the wild tumultuous joy of the skating rink, the toboggan slide, the mush-and. milk sociable and the straw ride. For the young American nobleman whose ducal father made his money by in- venting a fluent pill, or who gained his great wealth through relieving hu- manity by means of a lung-pad, liver pad. a kidney-pad or a foot-pad, fox. hunting is first rate"

BOY OF 8 WORST IN STATE
Tied Dog to Post and Drove Nails Into Flesh-StrangIed Chickens
 for Amusement.

Hackensack, N. J.-Ernest Diers is said to be the worst boy that ever lived in New Jersey. He is only eight years old. His father Is Ernest Max Hermann Diers of Fairview. The boy is now at the Bergen County Chil- dren's Home in this city, pending his removal to the reform school.
 This Diers boy is the worst I ever heard of said Justice Phillips. Tn the first place, Ernest is a moral de generate, and for a boy of his tender age some of his immoral acts are really astounding. He is incorrigible and defies his parents. He is brutal beyond all comprehension He slow ly strangled two chickens, and his face beamed with fiendish delight as he watched the chickens struggle He threw their bodies over a fence.
 Ernest next tied a dog to a post and after fastening the legs proceeded to drive a nail into the dogs body The yells of the dog only increased the power behind the blows, and not until the flesh was penetrated and blood came did the child stop his work.
 Two days ago the lad slashed his brothers head with scythe because he had more apples than Ernest did This boy will have to be carefully watched"
 Deputy Supt w. H. Bratt of the children's home locked Ernest up for the safety of the other inmates.

FRENCH OFFICERS REVENGE
How He, Got Even With a Venetian NobIeman for Cool and Merti-
 lying Reception

A French officer who had spirit and good birth, but little wealth, had served the Venetian republic for some years with great valor and fidelity. but had not been acknowledged with promotion as he had merited. One day he waited on a nobleman whom he had often asked for advancement in vain, but in whose friendship he had some reliance. The reception he met with was cool and mortifying; the nobleman turned his back upon the old soldier and left him to find his way to the street through a suite of beautifully furnished rooms. He passed them, lost in thought, until he saw valuable collection of cut glass on a damask-covered sideboard ready for a banquet. Turning to his com panion, faithful English mastin, he said, absent-mindedly:
 Here, my poor old friend, you see how these naughty tyrants indulge themselves, and yet how are we treated!"
 The dog looked at his masters face. and gave tokens that he understood him. The veteran walked on, but the mastiff slackened his pace, and, laying hold of the damask cloth with his teeth, with one hearty pull brought all the glass on the sideboard in shiV- CTS to the floor.

CHARM IS A 100000
BRINGS BAD LUCK TO PAIR IN
 STEAD OF GOOD.
Dug "charn" Out of Ground Every Night, as Told by Spiritualist- Missing, and Fight
 Follows.

| Milwaukee.-Everyn night at the hou. of 12, Milton Wilson and his wife, Claredone (colored). would steal out into the back yard, dig up the two "charms" they had buried, breathe on them with a breath first made preg- nant by a swallow of brandy, and then plant them again.
 These charms" which consisted of two small bags filled with sand, they had purchased from a spiritualist at one dollar apiece, and under favorable conditions were guaranteed to ward off evil spirits, take the kinks out of woody hair, brings good luck and pre- vent the police from arresting the pos 5essor.
 To such wondrous heights did the imagination of Wilson and his wife soar over these charms" that the in terring and exhuming of them be- came part of their religion and was conducted with great solemnity every night
 But the other night trouble started at the power plant where the charm" is sent from. When Wilson went to dig up his bag, it had disappeared. He returned to the house in rage and there sat Mrs. Wilson admiring her charm" with consuming fascination.
 That made Wilson so angry that he gave her kick in the face, and sent her sprawling on the floor. Then the hoodoo busted. In rushed a patrol man and placed both under arrest. In police court Wilson begged to explain. His story was such good one the judge and court attaches could hardly keep from roaring with laughter.
 Dat man what sold me des here bags was surely some spiritualist," Wilson said. Why, judge, you jes ought to see him make dem things dance around and move furniture and stuff without never touching it."
 Wilson became so excited in his ex- planation that he dropped his precious charm and it went rolling across the judges desk and onto the floor. Will son became almost desperate in his effort to get possession of it again.
 T sure am going to open that bag and see what am in it," he said to the judge, in a manner of one volun- teering to undergo some gigantic and dangerous task.
 Wilson had taken away his wife's charm" and brought it into court with him.
 You are fined ten dollars and costs" Judge Neelan said. Then he added: You see, the charm didn't bring you much luck"
 Now I sure will open that charm" said Wilson, partially convinced that its wondrous spell had been de stroyed.
 Sentence was suspended on Mrs. Wilson, 10 went immediately to the Clerks office and paid her husbands fine.
