DEMOCRATIC papers console themselves with the idea that there has been since 1880 a party alternation in choosing a President. Yet the fact remains that during the whole period the Democrats succeeded in electing no one but Cleveland and ended by bitterly repudiating him.

IT 6eems that Dewey really did contemplate damaging the Germans at Manila. One of his captains, T. Kentley Mott, says in the December Scribner's: "As for the fleet, the 'Monterey,' it is true, had arrivedi and was ready to match her 10 and 12-inch guns against the 9%-inch Krupps o/ the enemy but the bay was so rough that our fleet would have fought at great disadvantage. It was none too well supplied with ammunition, and the admiral very wisely desired to keep enough in reserve to use on the Germans in case of necessity. The German admiral had acted with such insolence during this whole crisis that, had we attacked and failed to take Manila, there were, good grounds for believing that he would have carried his interference to the point where Admiral Dewey's forbearance would cease and his guns be brought into

play."

As to the general ssentiment on American expansion, William T. Stead, the great London editor, who has ju6t returned from a tour of France, Belgium, Germany, Russia, Austria, Turkey and Italy, and who has seen the highest politicians in each country, and in some cases their rulers, said to a correspondent of the Associated,Prees: "The immense majority of Europeans are, of course, absolutely ignorant of what has happened. Intent upon their daily toil, they neither know nor care what occurs in the other hemisphere. »But Europeans who read thei^newspapers are able to form what may be called 'public opinion' in the old world. They are practically unanimous on the matter. Outside of England* I have not meta single non-American who was not opposed to the expansion of America. Nor through my whole tour of Europe havo I met a European who did not receive the protestations of the genuine sincerity with ^which the Americans entered upon the war with more or less sarcastic incredulity."

LOUIHVU.LK Timet) (Dem.): Benton McMillin is in Washington and he in a-talking. He wants to know who is a sheep and who is a goat, and he is thoroughly satisfied that the Hon. Bailey is not a sheep. He is "norating around" that the Hon. Bailey voted against the proposal to substitute the wool schedule of the Wilson bill for the corresponding schedule of the Dinglev bill, and he wants to know what sort of Democracy that is. lie might recall that two Texas congressmen voted for the Dingley bill without rebuke from the party in Texas. The two Georgia senators, the two South Carolina senators, one senator from Virginia and one from Louisiana are protectionists. One day Charles II and his brother, the Duke of York, called on Nell-Gwynne. Miss Nellie gave them a musical entertainment and when the conpert was over she asked the king for some coin with which to reward the players. The king had not a penny, and the duke bad only a shilling or two. Nellie threw up her hands and said: "What company am I come into?" That is what Samuel J. Tilden or Allen G. Thurman, Robert Toomba or C. Lamar would say if they could come out of the grave and sit among the "Democrats" of either house of congress.

POLITICIANS AS EDUCATOKS. Noblesville Ledger: At the coming session of the legislature there will be much agitation concerning school questions. The support of higher education by the state, the organization of the state board of education, the compulsory educational law and other school questions will no doubt attract attention. And it is right that they should be given a good share of the time of the legislators. There is no subject of so vast and so general importance as the education of the youth of the land. Whatever can better the system of training and increaso the spread of knowledge should have the hearty cooperation and support of every progressive, patriotic citizen. This being true, it, does not follow that everything done in the name of education iB right, fair and will accomplish the best results. And on the other hand, it does not follow that if a man or class of men differ with the "powers that be" on educational matters that the former are enemies of the school system and opposed toiprogresi in this line. Not all wisdom is wrapped up in the minds of a few men who are temporarily in power. There is a business side to church and school questions which the laymen are better able to manage than the preachers and teachers, however distinguished these may be in their professions. Human nature is pretty much the same the world over. A big vein of selfishness runs through the characters of all of

U9.

Men in office

and men in power are not exempt from it. When any one criticises educational methods and systems, the people in the profession too often hold up their hands in holy horror and cry out, "Against progress!" And often such would be progressive teachere have been in the ruts for yearB and don't know it.

Again we often hear men in educational matters saying with great gusto that politics must be eschewed—away with politics in the schools—and the same men play politics 365 days in the year. Just now the state board of education, which has assumed the dictatorial powers, is trying to bolster up its organization by claiming that the school question should be entirely free from political influence. At the same time its members are and have been for years resorting to all kinds of political scneuien and devices to promote their selfish interests. It is not denied and dare not be denied that President Swain of the State university, President Parsons of the State normal and President Smart of Purdue university were most active in the lobby at the session of 1895, when the educational tax was saddled upon the people. We know that they wont to certain representatives and threatened retaliation upon the meritorious bills if they did not vote for their "trust" bill. They have kept up this political organization over the state and are at it to-day, and yet only a few days ago David M. Geoting, president of the state board and superintendent of public instruction, issued a proclamation Baying that itwould never do to allow the governor of the state to appoint the members of the 6tate board of education, for the reason that «t -•could smack too much of politics. If tho legislature wants to see some shrewd, first class politicians, let it keep its eyes on the members of the state board of education at the coming session.

And there are others. Men in small er positions are known to "play politics," in educations matters, and at the same time talk loud and long about other people mixing politics into school questions. It is a pretty good rule to take the advice of such men with a good deal of allowance. The schoolB of the country are generally well managed and free from partisan influenceIt is well it is so. But we believe when a few men assume dictatorial

Dowers

and attempt to form and perpetuate a •school trust, that a little political meddling is a wholesome medicine. Better a little politics than too much trust and combination for selfish purposes.

"STAIN, inspired by resolutions of patriotism and humanity and to avoid tho horror of war. resigns horself to the power of tho victor and accepts tho offered conditions in order to conclude a treaty of peace." In other words, Spain gives up Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines, Guam and any other old islands lyiug around loose, and somewhat ungraciously accepts I that $20,000,000 as a salve to any wounds her "honor" may feel. From April 21 to November 28 is a rather short war for such far-reaching results, especially as hostilities have been suspended since August 12,

SKNATOK HARRIS, of Kansas, attributes the defeat of the Populist party in that state to good crops, good prices, good times generally, and a good national administration. A party that depends fc r"?rpetiiity upon the reverse of these conditions is certainly not entitled to come to life very often.

Darling, editor of the Laporte Catholio Record, making formal denial of the report that a decree had been issued issued from Rome, removing the bsui placed on secret organizations with which Catholics arc barred from membership because of religious restrictions. Bishop Rademacker writes of a meeting •with tho Most Rev. Apostolio Delegate and Archbishop Elder of Cincinnati, in which most emphatic denial was made of the report. The report that a decree had been issued has been given wide publicity.

Only a few months ago there was a strike here in the Singar case factory, involving 1,100 employes, which was finally settled.

Back of every smooth performance there is an amount of preparation, study and rehearsal that soon tells on the health of every actor. It is significant how unanimous men and women in professional life, whether actors, editors, teachers or physicians, are in regard to Paine's celery compound. As a nerve tonic for the exhausting strain of their professional duties nothing else does the work of Paine's celery compound.

A testimonial taken at random from the many that are constantly received from the theatrical profession, says:

NEW YORK CITY, Sept 25, 1898. Wells, Richardson & Co., Gentlemen:—If others have been helped by Paine's celery compound as decidedly as in my case I do not wonder at the enthusiastic testimonials this remedy is constantly receiving. If I had never heard a word as to its remarkable invigorating capability, I could unhesitatingly recommend it from my own experience. As a fact, many of my professional friends have been urging me to try Paine's celery compound. It proved to be the very thing my tired system needed to overcome the exhausting effects of close application to stage work. lam recommending it to all my friends whenever they complain of sleeplessness, indi­

KATHERINE KIDDER.

De Wolf Hopper, America's most popular comedian, writing on Oct. 4, 1898, from the Knickerbocker theater, New York, says: "I cordially recommend Paine's celery compound as being thoroughly efficacious."

When the history of Paine's celery compound is studied it is easily understood why itB popularity is so enormous. Paine's celery compound is the world-famed discovery of Prof. Edward Elisha Phelps, M. D., LL. D. professor of materia medica at Dartmouth college Prof. Phelps' unusual talent quickly established his reputation and prominence among his professional* brethren.

He was fully alive to the dangerB attendant upon the American way of living, and he sought diligently for some common-sense remedy that would cure the common evils, which, under one name and another, result from an unhealthy state of the nervous system. His labors were crowned with glorious success, and he gave to the medical profession the celebrated remedy which has won world-wide fame as Paine's celery compound.
