DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
 ATTACKED BY ROOT
Senator in Assault on Ship Purchase BtE CharacteriZes Democrats At
 titudc as "Conspiracy of Silcnce.'

Washington, Jan. 25.--Senator Root led the republican attack on the ad- ministration ship bill in the senate today with a denunciation of the dem ocratic caucus. which made the bill party measure, of the parliament tary tactics by which the democrats have so far forced the republicans to do all the debating, and finally with denunciation of the bill itself.
 The attitude of the democrats he characterized as "conspiracy of si- lence' to put through the bill by pressure of "physical weakness For ten days, he said, the minority had been compelled to face the prospect of eight hours of continuous talking without a word of discussion from the majority side and without more than half a dozen democratic members in the chamber.
 Tt does not seem to me that this bill which would put the govern ment in the business of foreign ship ping, is receiving the kind of discus sion it should have,' said he, Tt is important not merely because it in- wolves vast expenditure at a time when we have been forced to make up a deficit, but also because it en- parks the government on a new de- parture based on reversal of prin- ciple of government long maintained. No such change in policy was con- templated by the people when they put the present administration in power"

calling by the United States Govern
ment Of a conference Of Latin-Ameri-
can representatives to take cognizance
OF the state Of anarchy in the neigh
boring republic with frank scepticism
OF its observation-disclosures.
In its final analysis" continues FL
impartial. "all of this in more or less
open terms simply means the certain
intervention which the United States
have laboriously and cunningly gone
about preparing. The policy Of the
United States has for many years
consisted in dividing the forces Of the
various Mexican parties and factions
so as to render the establishment Of
any order impossible.
1T is true, however, that there is
not too much reason for insisting
upon this shady aspect of the Mexican
civil wars. For after all. the Next
cans themselves have been in no es-
pecial need Of interested, foreign sug-
gestion to exhaust themselves in
sterile and personal strife.
I'VE may admit that in spite Of
everything that has happened there
and though Mexican soil has been wet
with good Spanish blood, We should
like to see the shame of Intervention
avoided in some definite way. If only
the Mexicans could realize the danger
in which their very independence
stands, if this civil war could cease
and the struggle for power in cities
and in the country could give way to
a period of peace and rebuilding, the
riches Of Mexico would require very
few years to rise again in the midst Of
all the ruin"

New York Press, June /. 1879
George Beban's motion picture Of
An Alien" was shown to a first night
audience in the Astor Theatre last
night. and proved its worth as a pro.
moter Of sobbing and tears. Though
a comedy, it is a heart gripping story
with moments of exciting melodrama.
The audience followed Mr.. Beban
with remarkable interest through
nine reels. He is an Italian, wrong
fully suspected of kidnapping the
daughter of rich broker. 1t is
Christmas eve. He goes out to pur-
chase toys for his own little daughter.
In his absence she is run down and
killed by the automobile belonging to
the man whose daughter has been
kidnapped.
Next morning he goes forth to buy
flower for her grave, entering the
flower shop wherein the kidnappers
have arranged to meet the mother OF
their victim and receive their ransom
The alien drops in to buy a flower. is
brutally man handled by a detective,
and is on the point of killing or being
killed, when the father rushes in with
the news that the child has been re-
covered, and that the alien has been
wrongfully suspected
The company is a good one, but to
Mr.. Beban himself goes most of the
big scenes. and to him must go nlost
of the praise.
This feature is booked at the
Opera House for today and tomorrow
and will be shown in addition to the
regular program which contains the
usual number of excellent picture
plays. No advance in the prices OF
admission.-Adv.

Paris. Aug. 1.-THE militant Anar-
chists, whose exploits furnished so
much copy to the French newspapers
before the war but who dropped out

mobilization. have been found by the
police to be doing their patriotic duty.
With only few exceptions those who

and SORROWS. but we shall hold out to
the end"

IT IS QUALITY
NOT QUANTITY
IN COLLEGE WORK

college and university education
has outgrown the boom STAGE" de-
clares DR.. Samuel P. Capen, in the
Annual Report Of the U. S. Commits
sioner of Education, just issued.
The day of the academic promoter
Of the imitation Of values is over" con-
going on, but for the most part unac-
companied by the frenzied advertising
SO common in the past and encourag-
ingly free from the optimistic confu-
sion Of prospects and realities. The
developments of the year strengthen
the condition which has been ripening
for some time past that higher educa-
ton Is now looking to its foundation
and setting its house in order.
COLLEGES and universities have come
under the sway of the slogan eff
cency' Surveys undertaken by out
siders and by officials of the institution
to be examined have become increas-
ingly frequent. There has been Wig
orous activity on the part of several
voluntary associations that concern
themselves with standards of entrance,
graduation, and constitutional equip
ment. Some of this activity has crys-
tallized in the form of recommend
atoms that will effect educational pro-
cedure over considerable areas. The
adoption of some form of group system
has been reported to the L. S. Bureau
of Education by y institutions. un-
doubtedly only fraction of the whole
number of colleges that have taken this
step"
The idea that 1t is quality rather
than quantity Of work done by col
lege student that counts toward ef-
fective education, has already received
tangible recognition in a few institu-
tons through the granting of extra
credit for quality. says DR.. Capen.
Several prominent institutions have
been reorganized and other new de-
parrments have been formed; and sew
eral others are experimenting with new
types of vocational courses related to
local industrial activities.
DR.. Capen mentions Montana, Kan
sas, and Idaho as three more States
where the administration Of State in
stitutions Of higher education has been
further centralized through recent leg
islative action"
