EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, July 2, 1888.
DEAR GAZETTE :—The Chicago conven-
tion, its platform and nominees, are the
topics of chiefcst interest here at the Na-
tion’s capital, even though the persistent
efforts of the tariff “reformers” as they
prefer to be called, to crowd- through the
House the Mills bill, are still persisted in
with unabated ardor. Senator Hawley
made two “rattling" good American
speeches in the Senate Saturday in answer
to the opposition to making proper appro-
priations for the protection of our defence-
less sea-coast and Harbors. The River and
Harbor bill was thrust aside last Thurs-
day to take up the Army appropriation
bill, but it was reached again Saturday
and duly passed by the} Senate. There
are many important changes made, of the
House provisions. They consist chiefly in
an increase of the amounts appropriated.
Millions upon millions of dollars could he
saved if a National Board could be created
and a certain number of Rivers and Ear-
bors taken up and completed each year.
Our own Norwalk harbor is a case in
point. If twenty—five thousand dollars
had been appropriated in one amount it
would have completed the work and the
river current and tides would thereafter
have kept the channel clear. As it is we
have had appropriations of $3,000 and
$5,000 year after year, till the entire sum
thus far expended aggregates nearly one
hundred thousand dollars and the clear-
ing of the channel from the bridge to the
sound, is notlyet completed. Our $25,000
for deepening and and widening the chan-
nel at Wilson’s Point, is retained in the
bill as passed by the Senate and every
effort will be made to prevent the House
from striking it out, when the bill shall
come up for further consideration there.
THE PRESIDENT’S PENSION vaToas.
Senator Davis on Friday submitted to
the Senate the report of the committee on
pensions upon eight vetoed pension bills,
the merits of which the report discusses
in detail, and the passage of which it re-
commends, the objections of the President
notwithstanding. The more interesting
and important featurers of the report are
embodied in a discussion of the veto
power and the dangers with which, in the
opinion of the committee, its too frequent
exercise is fraught. It says : "Since the
81h day of May. 1886, 136 special acts
granting pensions to individuals have been
disapproved by the President.
“These disapprovais were based, in a
great majority Of cases, upon the expressed
opinion of the President that Congress
has erred in its judgment upon mere
qiiestions of fact. * * *
“It is, of course, impossible for tho
President to examine the mass of docu-
mentary evidence upon which each case
depends, and which is invariably examined
by the committee, and it follows that
when he disagrees with Congress upon the
questions of fact in the cases, his judg-
ment must be based, not upon the reports
of the committee, in which the facts are
always stated with sufficient fullness. but
upon the report of.some subordinate in the
Bureau of Pensions. This bureau, whose
action Congress has reversed, is thus en-
abled to review the action of Congress by
the express direction of the President.
This method of consideration is an
abridgement by the Executive of the exer-
cise of the right of Congress to waive that
strict proof which is required in ordinary
cases in the department."
RECEPTION PARADE.
A grand impromptu Reception Parade
was gotten up last Tuesday evening When
it was learned the Washington Delegates
and “visiting statesmen,” were about to
arrive home. Full twenty-five thousand
people formed a line, headed by the Ma-
rine band and escorted the party from the
depot to the Union League rooms, firing
rockets and Roman candles, and waving
stars and stripes from hundreds of hands
in the line and from full as many houses -
along the line of March. The Democrats
are anything but comfortable over the
result at Chicago, yet like the boy in the
grave yard they try to whistle away their
fears and to keep their courage up.
REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION.
Notwithstanding the threatening aspect
of the weather, there was an attendance
of 2,500 people at the ratification meet-
ing Friday night at the Republican Na—
tionalLeaguciiousc. The meeting was
held in the open grounds, fronting the
building, and the front of the house was
tastefuliydecoratcd with flags and mot-
toes. Many ladies attended, one of the
front parlors, where they had an excellent
opportunity to see and hear all, being re-
served for their use. Seated on the ros-
trum were several prominent citizens of
the District, together with the speakers
for the occasion.
Congressman Johnston was the first
speaker. tie said that the issue had been
made by this Congress in the efforts of
the Southern brigadiers to control legisla-
iation against the efforts of those who
bore the muskets in support of the Union.
the tariff, however, he asserted would not
be the only question that would be dis-
cussed in the campaign, for the disfran-
clilsement of the negro in the South
would claim much attention. After i'e-
viewing Harrison’s military career and
taking some time iii showing what his
course would be in regard to pcnsionbills,
Mr. Johnston declared that "we intend
to carry Indiana with as much enthu-
siasm in 1888 as we did in 1880.” In con-
clusion he hoped that the time was close
at hand when the rebel brigadiers would
no longer crack their whip over the leg-
islative halls and frame legislation to suit
themselves. ’
Senator Hawley followed Captain John-
ston declaring the Chicago convention the
greatest meeting of its character ever
held. He expressed his high estimation
of Benjamin Harrison, whom he had
known for many years, and was glad that
the platform had stated with such accuracy
the position of the party on the question
of tariff.
Representatives. Buchanan, Butter-
worth. and other speakers followed, mak-
ing the weikin ring with patriotic utter-
ances. . .
During the evening a letter from Sen-
ator Sherman was read, announcing his
regets owing to prior engagement, at not
being able to be present, and declared his
hearty support of the nominees of'thc
Chicago convention. The meeting closed
with three rousing cheers for Benjamin
Harrison. I

Hon. Wm. 11. Barnum was here the
fore part of last week arid was reelected
chairman of the Democratic .National
Committee. He'was not over enthusiastic
over the selections the Republicans had
made at Chicago, for_Mr. Barnum is a
man who not only’ personally knows our
candidates, but has the sagacity to discern
their winning power. It is conceded,

blinded by partisan opposition, that the

Republicans have put in nomination an
exceptionally strong ticket ; one that will
steadily grow in the popular favor, the
more it is scanned and the better it is

N orwalk in the Normal School.
Among the graduates from 111081.018.
Normal School were Miss Bertha Allen
and Miss Fannie Belle Curtis, both of Nor-
walk, whose essays are thus summarized
by a New Britain paper. Miss Bertha
Allen chose for her subject, “The Growth
of Individualism " : . ,
Between each human being and every other
-there exists from birth a radical,,_inovitabie
difference, by virtue of which I am myself, and
you are yourself. It is this marvellous separa-
tion which we express by the terms “personal
identity or seif‘hood'.” What this difference is,
which makes us each ourselves,which controls
.the whole life, which made Shakespeare a great
dramatist, which makes an acorn an oak, not
an ‘elm, who can tell? We call the inystcryin-
dividuality, but merely naming it does not ex-
plain it. Though in its essence incom relien-‘
sible, the growth of this individua ity has
worked great changes in men and in nations.
History demonstrates that in the proportion
that any nation has recognized this individual-
ity and acknowledged the right of each indivi-
dual to live under conditions favorable to the
development of his individuality, that nation
has progressed in civilization. The regenera-
tion of society can only be accomplished by the
regeneration of its members. Russia. is a good - '
example of a country . in which the state, the:
rulers, or the few have been everything.;; the ’
individual, the subject, the many—nothing.
iold in the
consideration of civil systems, will apply to
science, to music, to religion, to literature, and
lastly—to education. With the Teutonic races,
for instance, the freest sco e of individual, ro-
ligious thought has been eveloped, and, as a.
consequence, the Teutonic races can point with '
ride to the greatest advancement in religion.
ho development in the comparatively short
time from 1600 to 1300 A. D. of the great stages
of literary evolution, which every student of
English literature can realize. must have been
necessarfito make the span from Richardson,
the first nglisb novelist, to George Elliot, the
greatest English novelist, is another grand ex-
ample of the results of the free play of indi-
vidual energies. The highest aim of education
is the complete development of child’s nature.
True teaching should make this its end. This
age is not an age in which children are to “be-
lieve and ask no questions.” We are fast learn-
ing that it is better to train a child to reason,
to exercise his judgment, and to develop his
individual powers. Instead of doing his work
for him, we must lead him to do it himself.
The fact that late years have seen rapid strides
toward better methods in education is plainly
evident in the school-room of any teacher who
has the genuine inspiration. The atmosphere
of love, the children’s bright eyes and cheer-
ful faces tell how well this teacher under-
stands child nature. We feel sure that a laugh
in this room is no crime—but only a. token of
life and strength and healthy development.
Miss Curtis’ subject was, “the practical
value of the Kindergarten :"
The value of the Kindgarten has a three-
fold nature, mental, moral and physical. The
work is based on the principle that we must
train from the senses tothe intellect. In early
life the senses readily un'fold to methods of
culture. ' The intellectual strength and happi-
ness depend on this cultlire.
Froebel, the founder of the Kindergarten,‘
devised a series.of gift or play objects to be
placed in the bands of children, simple, yet
containing the foundation of truths and art,
science and religion.
Parents who insist on little children gOing to
school and studying from books, really hinder
the growth of the mind, for it is far better to
let the children grow gradually and naturally
into school life. The child’s bi-ain receives
the greater part of its growth before seven,
therefore, a c iid at five, six or seven has not
the mental capacity of a child of nine or ten. '
In the kindergarten the object lessons be-
come gradually more difficult, requiring more
and more thought until the change to school
life is only a. transition from one bright room
to another.
Another objectof' the kindergarten is phys-
ical health. This is secured by means of
games and gymnastics. The child is naturally
active. This activity is the foundation of' the
games used. There is also a. mutual and
moral force in the games. The child becomes
conscious of his own individuality, at the same
time of the rights of others. Selfishness and.
willfuiness are beth restrained. After the
play period. work is continued in smaller
classes. Objects are used, for knowledge is
first derived from things. It is of great im-
portance for children to try their own powers .
of'iuvention and they are led to do this.
' The mere giving a- child knowledge, a pour-
ing in of facts, will not help him.
be taught how to gain facts and how to use
them.
The freedom of the kindergarten must not
be confounded with lawlessness. Freedom is
liberty of thought and action. In the kinder-
garten the child is not repressed, but watched
and guided. .

by success, the adoption ofadangerous
system of tariff reform and the like. As

Constantinople Letter.
DEAR GAstra:—In April I made two
journeys for missionary purposes arid
found them so IniCI‘L‘Siillg‘iillli. I resolved
to share the pleasure they gave Inc with
the many friends whose names are found
in. your list of subscribers. The great
press Of work brought by preparation for
our annual meeting,and then bythe meet-
ing itself, has compelled me to delay until
now the fulfillment of my purpose.
The first journey was by rail to Adri-
anople. Tlic Constantinople terminus of
the railroads is near the lower bridge over
the Golden Horn, where the foundations
of a new and larger station are now being
laid. This is in anticipation of the ill-
creascd traffic which the completion of the
railway through Bulgaria will bring. The
track is already laid from end to end of
the line, blit switches are yet to be made,
station houses to be built, and some other
last things to be done. It was expected
that the formal opening of the road would
take place before now, but there is some
hitch between the contractors and the
company. When the road is opened, then
we can go by rail all the way to the Eng-
sea-sickuess will stand between friends
who visit the continent and us.
The merchants Of our city are apprehen-
sive as to the effect this railroad and the
one to Salvnria,wliicli is just opening,will
have upon local trade. Bulgaria, lou-
melia and Macedonia are now closely
connected with Austria Hungary, and that
empire will do her best to extend licr
trade in those provinces. Another forel-
ble danger is also looming up. Yamhol
is connected with Sophia by Philipoppolis
by rail and the Bulgarian government is
planning to extend the railroads from
Yambol to the part of Bourgas' on the
Black sea. If this is done, then English
and other steamers may‘discliarge their
cargoes for Bulgaria and Rouinciia. at
' Bourgas instead of Constantinople.
cent meeting of merchants has therefore
called upon the government to build qiiays
in our liarboi',' to regulate its bonded
warehouses, customs, &c., so as to keep
trade-from seeking a new channel. Al-
ready the duty of goods in transit to
Bulgaria has been reduced from, 8 per
.cent. to 1 per cent.
But we are not journeying very rapidly,
and neither, for that matter, shall we when
fairly under way. Fifteen miles an hour
is as high a rate Of speed as the company
aspires to, so that about 11 hours is the
schedule time. toAdrianOplc.
At, the third ringing. of. the bell of the
station, the conductor iiiows"la~...tiii horn,

wind around Scraglia paint, and skirt
sometimes shut out from our view by parts
of the old historic wall which are yet
tetandilig. . At the Seven Towers we leave
the .city, and Our [next stop is at the suburb
of Macrlkeni, where the government pow-
der works are lOcated. There are several
isolated buildings within a large enclos-
..urc,,over whose gate is written, in several
languages, “No Admittance." Once since
we came here’ there has been an explosion
resulting in a number of fatalities, and
several such have occurred in the past.
Next comes the Greek village Of San
Stephano, where was signed, at the close
. of the last war,- thefamous Russo-Turkish
treaty which the rest of Europe thought it
necessary seriously to modify at the Ber-
lin congress. The fourth station beyond
San Stapliano is Tclialaldja and it is at
this point that» the land defences at Con-
istautmople are. built. Stretching across
.the peninsula from the Marmora to the
Black Sea is a line of earth works, which
are to be the Turk’s last ditch. The trou-
ble is that the Turk, though a. splendid
' fighter, when he feels himself beaten col-
lapses entirely, as was the case ' in the
last war. When Sliifha was taken, and
Gen. Gourko had just the army of Sulie-
made to defend chataldja. '

prevented us from seeing much of the dc-
fcnces. Bey’ond Tcliataldja there was
little of interest on the way. At Baba

from a temperance meeting just before we
came to this land 21 years ago, lest we
should be asked to sign the pledge. We
thought it might be best, in this land, to
drink wine moderately. We got over all
such ideas long since. The evils of intem-

', After reaching the valley of the Maritza
the iandbecamc mOre level. The Adri-
anople station is more than two miles from
the city, but a comfortable carriage car-
ried us overa good macadamized road,
and just before entering the city we cross-
then another over the Tundjn. The city
is built at the confluence of these two
rivers, and probably contains about 100,-
000 inhabitants. An approximate esti-
,mate of the different nationalities is as
follows :—Turks 45,000, Greeks 35,000,
Jews 14,000, Americans 6,000. ' '
p The pride of the city is the mosque of
Sultan Selim II, who reigned from 1566 to
1574, A. D. It is a spacious and magnifi-
cent structure which wesecured the privi-
‘backshieh. The coloring is ricli,fand the
Arabic inscriptions upon the walls liar-
monize well with the general effect. Many
'Cbristian cathedrals are more ornate, and
their architecture more delicate and diver-
sified, but few have more impressed me as
types of, simple and solid grandeur. With
est of the three balconies and one of the
four minarets, and though the resultant
lameness did not leave me for some days,
. I felt amply repaid. It is a fact worthy of
- note that within the slender minarets there
are three stair cases, a separate one wind;
ing- up to each of the balconies.
The view from the minaret was very
fine. In the distance we saw several of
the earthworks which had been thrown up
for the defence of the city. Nearer were
extensive barracks, mostly new, built for
the garrison. :Not‘ far away was the new
government agricultural school, on the
'model farm. We counted 5 bridges over
the Tundja, one of which is said to be
very old. The only bridge over the Marit-
m is new. Just outside the modern city
iea heap of ruins which is all that is left
of the royal palace Once occupied by the
Siiltans, who made Adrianople their capi
tal from 1366 to the fall of Constantinople
in 1458. '
Within the city there are not many
buildings worthy of note. Euch Sherifli
Mosque is a striking building with four
The Greeks have built a fine school for
‘boys to replace one destroyed by fire a few
"years ago. As in most Turkish cities, the
Regie, that is the society which has bought
of the government the monopoly of the
tobacco trade, has fine buildings. The
Imperial Ottoman Bank has a branch in
Adrianople, which attracts attention as do
the Pasba’s palace, and an occasional
private residence, but none of them would
be called fine buildings in America. The
old wail surrounded but a small part of
the space now occupied by the city. Part
of it is standing-and on one of its turretsa
clock tovIer is erected.
The missionary work in Adrianople was
begun in 1858 by the sending of a preach-
er. Most of the time from 1858 to 1869 it
was occupied by American misSionaries,
but. chiefly as a gate from which to enter
Bulgaria. There is a little Protestant
church of 30 members, and about three
times that number connected with the con-
gregation. . Most of the time we spent
