The President's Financial Plan Sustained. --Anolhor Rumored Resig nation. -Socretary Gresham as a Peace maker. Prom our Regular Correspondent. Washington, February 4, 1895. President Cleveland would much prefer that Congress would pass a bill, either in accordance with the recom mendations contained in his special message, or with its own ideas of what ought to be done to enable the gov ernment to redeem its promises to pay when presented j but if Congress does nothing, he does not propose to it idle and see the credit of the gov ernment injured by the lack of gold to redeem its notes. He has given Con gress a last chance to act, but if such leading members of the Senate as Vest and Sherman do not misjudge thi situation, the Senate is tied hand and foot and cannot act, even if the House passes the bill now before the committee on Banking and Currency, which proposes to carry the recom mendations of the President into effect. That being the case, it may be set down as certain that President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle will act. They will issue more bonds to get the gold to redeem the greenbacks and Treasury notes, under the specie resumption act of 1875, and the Presi dent has said that he would continue to issue bonds as often as gold is re quired until Congress relieves the situation bv legislation. As President Cleveland and every member of the Cabinet understands and construes the present laws, it is no lunger a question of whether one favors the issue of bonds, but of got ting gold, which can only be gotten by bonds. Whether Congress author izes an issue of bonds or not. bonds will be issued. When Congress de clines to sanction the issue of bonds it is under the circumstances the act of a coward, inasmuch as it is shirking a responsibility that properly belongs to Congress. Besides, Congress in providing for bonds could accompany it with remedial legislation which would put an end to the gold raid upon the Treasury. Chairman Wilson is confident that the bill for the repeal of the differ, ential duty on sugar from countries which pay an export bounty, which passed the House by the very decisive vote of 239 to 31, will pass the Senate and become a law. His confidence is based upon assurance given him by Senators of all parties that they would support the bill and help to push it through the Senate. The National Board of Trade, which held its twenty-fifth annual session in Washington this week, unanimously endorsed President Cleveland's plan for the relief of the Treasury, which is embodied in the financial bill now before the House. This action is regarded as significant. If the Nation al Board of Trade, which, like Con gress, is composed of men of different political beliefs and from different sections of the country, can unani mously agree, why cannot Congress do the same. Congress is being deluged with similar endorsements telegraphed, by organizations ofbusi nes men in all sections. The ''drummers' bill," allowing the issue of 5,000 mile interchangeable railroad tickets at reduced rates, now only needs the President's signature to become a law. Postmaster Genera! Bissell is the latest Cabinet victim of the weekly resignation rumor. Mr. Bissell has not and never had the slightest idea of resigning, and he is entirely at a loss to know why he should have been selected by those who seem to be under contract to report an impending resignation from the Cabinet at least once a week. Only two members of the Cabinet Secretaries Lamont and Herbert have escaped having their names coupled with an alleged con templated resignation. Unless some thing which is at this time entirely unexpected shall occur, there is no probability that any member of the Cabinet will retire from office until the President does, on March 4, 1897. There was little doubt of the final result after the House adopted, by a vote of 131 to 121, the special order reported from the committee on Rules for the consideration and final vote on the Reilly Pacific railroad funding bill, but the debate was spirited and occasionally bitter in the extreme, and word's were uttered which left wounds which will rankle for many a day. There is now every reason to believe that Secretary Gresham's very proper effort to mediate between Mexico and Guatemala will result in a peace ful settlement of the dispute between those two nations, notwithstanding the sneers of that class of republicans who would oppose the Lord's prayer if it emanates from the administration. Speaker Crisp has resumed his duties. He says he was greatly bene fited by his short rest. The Howgate trial opened this week, but so far there have been no sensational developments. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. METE0D3 OP PKIM4KT EEADIN3. IX. The Donai Phonetic, Continued. By William Nooiting. Tne last article contained the prin ciples upon which all rational teach ing must rest j not only that of read ing, but of all other branches. It, was also an introduction to the method which this article will, as far as neces sary, explain. " The Rational Primer begins with the short vowels, mamely, a as in Man, e as in bet, i as in Ait, o as in not, u as in nut. The reason for commencing thus is, that more than three-fourths of all English syllables have these short vowcl sounds, or slight modifications of them. The Primer which exhibits almost all the root and stem words of the language that are in common use, shows that more than one-half of these words contain the short vowels only, and the remainder contain long vowels. The Second Reader shows that near ly three-fourths of the derivatives (we call them branch words) and adopted foreign words, shorten the originally long radical vowels, while most forma tive syllables and affixes leave short vowels. " By using only these short vowels with the consonants, tales can be written, and the pupils can be advanc ed within one or two months far enough to read them. The mechani cal difficulties in combining elementary sounds being so soon overcome, and the interest of the pupils in reading greatly enhanced, they are now fully prepared for the difficulties offered by the long vowels and for learning pro nunciation and orthography according to rules. To render yet more easy this first progress of the learners, capital letters are not introduced be fore the XII, Lesson. The dilficu ties which some of the consonants present, such as ch, which has a threefold sound, g, which has a twofold sound, besides bcin$ silent in the combina tions ffh and gn, the I silent before k and tn, b silsnt after tn, &c, are so gradually introduced as to be easily overcome. 'The pupils are further more prepared for the first rules of pronunciation which are now to ap pear by their attention being, from the first outset, directed to the fact that tn, n, , v, , z, sh, x, following a or o prolong somewhat the sound of those vowels 5 and that b, d, g, fol lowing any vowel, do the same. " In Lesson v. they meet with the first exceptional words, which, like all exceptions not following the rule (analogy,) must be singly impressed upon memory. These are full, ball, put, push, bush, push, which intro duce a second u sound. " In Lesson IX. they are given to understand that the sound of o in or, for, nor, form, storm, born, and a dozen more words in which o is fol lowed by r, is caused by that r, and is but slightly different from the first o sound; while the sound of o in son, done, come, and a dozen more words, is marked as akin to the u sound. " In Lesson X. the m sound, in all words in which er, ir, ear, war, is radical, is introduced and explained by the r following the vowel. " In Lesson XI. the Italian and half-Italian a, as in bar, car, and rare, bure, care, are introduced and explained by the r, following, which must slightly modify any vowel. "In Lesson XII. they are made acquainted with broad a, as in all, fall, and its shorter variety, as in toas, wad, and what sounds must proceed or follow in order to produce this modification of a. All this without any rule the mere facts are stated. "Of ever j word, the sound and image of which are impressed upon memory, the meaning is at the same time impressed by means of short sentences, some of which are given in the primer, while the rest are formed by the teacher, or as soon as it can be done, by the pupil himself. These are, then, the first lessons in etymo logy. Object Lessons and some of these ro t and branch words are to illustrate still further their meaning, and to enliven the pupil's interest in his studies. " Object Lessons can be made fruitful in many respects, but especi ally toward facilitating the oral use of correct and appropriate language. The sentences and words learned in each lesson are to be immediately reproduced in writing on the slate and in reading them from the slate. It may be here once for all stated that a strict examination of these writings by the teacher as to their perfect correctness and good pen manship, as to legtouuy ana oeavcy (not in 'printed,' but in written characters) is an essential feature of the Rational System. "The rules of pronunciation of words of one and of many of two syllables given from Lesson XIV. to the end of the Primer, are essentially only one rule : that whenever a vowel hat the long sound, there is a sign to indicate it. This sign consists, for tho most part, of a final silent e (as in ape, cede, fire, ode, rule, pure) pre ceded by a single consonant (in the exceptional cases of range, taste, able, maple, acre, table, and 17 more word, trifle, bridle, title, bibl,e nitre, and a few more, of two consonants, the first of which is a semivowel, the second mostly a liquid). Or this sign consists of some silent vowel, (y as in prey, may ; i as in wait, weigh, chief, juice 1 e doubled, as in street, or fol lowing a vowel, as in cu, hoe, shoe-, or preceding n, as in new, dence j or a in pea, coal, or in o as in tool ; or in m, as in fowr, youth j or in v, as in own) ; or in a silent csnsonant (oh, as in nigh, though, Uught ; g before n in sin, impuyn ; b after tn in climft). or it consists of the consonants nd, or Id, following an s (as in wind, child), or Id, It, rt, si, following an o (as in old, colt, port, host). The pupils are made to find out which is, in the cases given, the sign of a long vowel, till they have in this manner acquire! a confirmed habit of ob serving these conditions. Jiesides they learn the rule that most endings render a long vowel-sound of the root short in the branch word, and that these endings have a short or shortened vowel. " These are all the rules required from pupils in the Primer and First Reader. That the same are easily mastered by them, we can attest from a practice of many years in the school room. " The rules themselves are not to be slated by the teacher, but to be discovered by the pupil, and then ex pressed in their i words ; the teacher leading them thereto by ques tions and answers, and correcting their blunders by making them see for themselves that they are wrong." The author of this method says : " The teacher should commence the first lesson by placing on the black board, in printed and in written charac ters, one of the following sentences 1 that man has an ax, or that lad has caps, or that cat ran at that fat rat, or any other sentence composed ex clusively of the words of the first lesson." The teacher tells the children what the sentence written on the blackboard means, or says, and ask them to re peat it as he moves his pointer along from word to word. When all can repeat it, he asks each how many words the sentence contains, and which means ax, which man, which has, which that, which an. Next he asks which word stands first or the blackboard, which second, &c, which word they hear first, which second, &c. The next step consists in finding the sounds of which the word man consists. To find the sounds, the teacher pronounces the word slowly and distinctly m a -w, and asks the children to repeat the sounds several limes. When they can repeat the sounds he asks. What is the first sound ? the second ? and so on, and what letter or sign on the blackboard stands for the first sound? the second ? &c. The class is now prepared to make the transition from analyst to synthesis. Of this order of proceed ure, first analysis, then stnthesis the learned author says: All truly rational tsaddng begins with making the pupil himself resolve the object to be mastered into its component elements, and as soon as these are understood, it proceeds with a recon struction of the object which they compose, so that all rational teaching is object teaching.'' Questions should be asked on the objects whose names appear in the sentences which the children read. In the sentence,, " that man has an ax," questions should be asked about an ax. If possible an ax should be at hand to be examined by the children. The other vowel sounds are intro duced in sentences, like that of a in ax. For example, e is introduced with the sentence, "the hen has seven eggs." In the Primer the words are ar ranged in families, according to simi larities of vowel sounds, the consonants being regarded mostly as modifiers of vowels in the sense of diacritical signs, or marks. As will be noticed, no diacritical signs are used but those which the orthography itself furnishes. This method is in substance, and largely in the order of proceedure that of the Toronto (Canada) schools, and is the only phonetic method that is worthy of attention ; all others are mostly carricature imitations of it and of the one of which the next article will treat. .
