Bun Bluest Bun Pots High This Low This at M? at 0:26 at lihtii at us Journalism in Spain. ‘ Recent events show that Spain is as much a military despotism as Russia. The did'eronoo is that in Russia the em- peror and his ministry govern, while in Spain the army, the small officers at that, govern not only the country, but the queen regent and the ministry as well. That Madrid newspaper expressed only the popular sentiment, just or unjust, when it hinted that the swarms of small army officers clustered about olladrid were by no means anxious to go “out to Cuba and fight for Spain‘by put- ting down the rebellion. A hundred times during our civil war the same charge was made by American newspa- pers against the “feather bed” officers who staid at Washington. That jour- nalistic expression was merely liberty of the press. B t the small Spanish officers gather- " ed a mob and‘wrecked the office of rob“ Wiper that had dared to criticise them. After one office had been wrecked another journal denounced the military mob and demanded that the ofllcers be punished. This was sufficient tostir up the lawless, riotous officers against the whole newspnpor press of Madrid. The only authority loft in Spain seems to be General Campos, and he is afraid of the potty oflicors. He is- sued a mild blufl’ to them. (in the nth or hand, he issued a manifesto to the newspapers that if any more editors ven- tured to criticise the army they should he shot. The first thought of every American concerning the Alliance incident is that no foreign warship of Spain or any oth- er country shall be allowed to insult the United States flag with impunity. The simple fact that upenceful merchant ship of the United States, the Allianca.whilo going through the windward passage between Cuba and Haiti, on her way to New York, was fired on by a Spanish cruiser not far from Cape Moysi, is ground of itself for the demand for am- ple satisfaction from Spain, whether the Alliance was within three miles of the Cuban shore or not. Even war vessels commit no outrage when they pass within three miles of the shores of friendly nations. Nobody wants any war with Spain. and it is sincerely to he hoped that a peaceful explanation will soon he arrived at and the whole incident closed. But it is no jingoism to say that foreign nations- must not be allowed to fire on American merchant- men. There this government must set its feet down. - Perhaps wily old Li Hung Chang thought to overawo the Japanese by the sine and majesty of his retinuo, as he oncodid his own emperor. When the war began to gate badly for the Chi- nese, the emperor summoned Li Hung Chang poremptorily. Li obeyed the summons, but he had with him 25,000 soldiers, wholly at his book and call. This is the old follow’s own private army. When he appeared at Peking i with this great heat. the interview be tween him and his imperial master was naturally most pleasant. Undoubtedly Italy will demand an indemnity for the lynching of her sub- ‘aoa in Colorado, and undoubtedly the , "United States will pay it, just. she 7 . did in the New Orleans case. Then the United States may or may, not collect it but: from Colorado. 1‘! there is no law authorising this, then one of the Moots of the Fifty-fourth congress should be to pass such a law, ready for the next cans of Italian lynching. ed sort was seven yearscf age, belied : as severe a cough 9 as i ever knew any- a one to under from. g , lie coughed locusv . easily, and spit up 9 a blood. ltricdenry- » thing 1 could think . ~ 0mm be constant- jif i ly grew worse. and . l feared iilt‘ pom a little fellow would surely die.

It is well known that a trace of gold has been found in seawater, in solution with iodine. On the strength of this small fact a genius for figures has been making large calculations on what would happen if a genius for invention should find some feasible way of getting gold out of the sea water. Thom are 400,000,000 cubic miles of water in the, sea. The mathematical person has fig- ured out that this amounts to nearly two trillions of millions of tons. He gives the (grant figures, but our space is too precious to print them. Now suppose, says the genius, that each ton of sea water contained onc- tenth to ouo-fiftecnthof a grain of gold, or perhaps even a quarter of a grain—\- that is the amount thus far obtained—- the whole ocean would contain some 10,250,000,000 tons. if we could get this, or even a part of it, out of the water, then not silver but gold would he the drug in the market, and million- aires and bankers would in every case insert in their contracts ”payable in sil- ver. " But will it ever pay to try to get the gold out of the ocean water? Some scientific professors say it will, and that the operation will be something like that now in use for gettingsalt from sea water. The wonder is that nobody has ever made it before—the ntmnpt to reach the north pole in a balloon. Mr. S. A. Andree, a Swedish civil engineer, will try it next year, in the summer. With headquarters and supplies at Spitzbero gen, he will start northward in a halt loon 72.6 feet in diameter. This, scien- tific French balloouists say. will hold gas enough to last Lil) days without re: filling. Mr. Andreo's living room will be in a cor beneath the bulimia. It will be furnished with a large photographic outfit, so that as the voyaqwrs sell over the pole they can take pic-turns of strike ing scenes and objects. It is daylight all tho 2i hours around or. the pole in July. The explorers will rim in the air above Spitsbergen and take mlircct line for the pole and across it to Bering sound on the Alaskan roast. Tim dis. tunco is a little less than 3.11610 miles. Andree experts to trawl it in six days. The car will be provided with mild, with which it is hoped to steer the bait loon. TWo persons will accompany the aeronaut. The nearest habitable point to the polo thus far octrupiml is the is land of Spitsbergen, which is only 700 miles distant from it. Baron Norden- skjold pronounces Andrea's idea feasi- bio. Russia aims to be a rival of America in the cotton raising business The oni- peror himself has a vast plantation do» voted to this stapleon the crown lands in Turkcstnn. Some years ago the Ru clan government sent a commissioner to this country to thoroughlyinvostigate the manner of cotton culture in our southern states. He spent considerable time in the south, picking up much in» formation, which he carried home with him for the development of canton grow- ing in southern Russia Still Russia can never be much of a rival to the United States in cotton productions. The car’- realm has too much climate for it. it may be interesting to know that 606,040,3H acres of the public lands are still vacant and remly to be borne- steaded. The president will own open to entry a large tract of rich farming land in South Dakota The No: Perm Indians in ldaho have also sold their reservation to the government. and this tract will in a nctlong time he openfor settlement. That will give us at least two more boomer rushes.

The Elmira llri’orm School. The New York institution founded instep bad boys in their wild career and induce them to become respectable citizens instead of a terror and a uni- , sauce to the world has an educational system which deserves high praise. To the reformatory are sentenced boys and young men between the ages of 16 and 80. They remain in the institution, on the average, 20 months. That is not long enough to do much with them. Three years wouldbe better. The touch- ers do what they can in the space allot- ted to them. Professor Monks says in The University Magazine that out of every 100 of the youths 81 have good natural capacity for learning. Yet only 2 out of the 100 have an education be- yond the ordinary. The attendance on the school exercises is compulsory. The boy is made to learn where it is plain that he can do so. This discipline alone is invaluable. Nothing helps the youth- ful human being more than being forced to do what he does not like. When the boy leaves the reformatory, he is let out on his parole that he will conduct himself honorably. ' The. course of instruction begins with the rudiments for those altogether il- literate. The best part of it is that when the rudiments are learned the student is put to the work of acquiring additional knowledge that will make an intelli-. gent citizen of him. History and the sciences of morality and of civilgovern- ment are carefully taught. Extracts of the best English literature are made familiar to him, particularly those of an elevating and inspiring nature. Economics and the natural sciences be- long to the course of instruction. If he makes good use of his advantages, when the youth comm; out of the reformatory he will understand how states, cities and his own nation are governed. He will understand the great principles underlying trade and commerce, supply and demand. lle will also know what the gold and silver controversy means, and it will be less easy for demagogum to deceive him in politics than it would otherwise have been. Textbooks are not used. Each evening printed nonsense. distribute-ti aniong the pupils. They con- tain an outline of the next lesson.
