High schools in which Latin, Greek and the sciences are taught can lie found in every considerable town, and man ual training schools and commercial high schools or business collegt s are not uncommon. Still further, schools in which instruction is given in the housewifely arts of cooking and sew ing are growing more numerous. In tleed, in one of the large cities 72,000 girls and young women are learning in the public schools how to make dresses for themselves and their sis let's, and coats anil knickerbockers for their little brothers. There was a time when every girl was taught to sew at home, but in tiie crowded districts of the larger cities the mother who lias togo out scrubbing or house-cleaning all day has little time or strength left to teach her children how to make dresses, even if she knows herself. Moreover, the sewing machine has wrought such a revolution that hand sewing is in danger of becoming a lost art. So the school authorities, respon sible for the training of the young, and especially of the young Jn hum ble life, says tiie Youth's Companion, have largely abandoned any preju dices which they may have had in fa vor of the old-fashioned school, and are trying to meet tlie problem with which they are confronted. The pur pose of the schools remain unchanged; but it has been found that there are things which the children need to I as to be accessible at any time and for any oc casion. Whenever Mr. Depew uses one of these stories the time and place are noted to save himself the embarrass ment of repeating the same story to < >ll the subject <>f charges made against American soldiers in the Philippines of brutalities towards the natives. In defense of the soldiers the senator said: j "Do they tell us of the brutality of Amer ican soldiers? War has no record of mercy, tt ndt rness and care that compares with the Am.rican treatment of prisoners In the Philippines. Gens. Otis, Hughes aj.d Mae- Arthur havi- testified to the care and klnd | ness of American officers and men to Filipino prisoners. They are cart d for even as our own. 1 have si en wards of our own hospitals turned over to Filipino sick and wounded. Ami Hcan physicians' attend thim, American nurses minister to them. We are told of reconcentration camps. And what, are they.' Great tracts of fi-rtlle land, not surrounded by fences and stock ades, where the people may live and work in perfect liberty protected from murder ous desperados' demands. Read the story of American reconcentration In Marln duquc. The Filipinos there were fed with food bought by American money. When those who terrorized them had been killed or captured, Filipino physicians signed vol untary statements tli.it tin- people's health within those American lin»s was 50 pel cent. better than it had been in their own homes. And those people departid to their Held, at last made peaceful, with rejoicings 011 their lips that Lhey had finally been res cued from their own oppressors, and with blessings on the Ann riean Hag and the American soldiers who had worked that deliverance. "The republican party stands by the American soldier in the Philippines to-day as It stood by the soldier of the uion 4>> years ago, stands b> him now, and will stand by him until the last gray and hon ored head bows to the Conqueror of us all. To those who now denounce American sol diers the Annrican people will givi- the same answer they gave to the defamt r.s of the boys in blue in the old days: 'We stand by the boys beneath the Hag.' "The boys beneath thi (lag! God bless them everyone! And God defend them from enemies at hoim- and abroad, foes in the field and foes In the rear. Foes In the Held, the American soldier lights and con quers; foes in the rear he cannot reach. Think of men rejoicing when American sol dii rs 112 ill! Art- there such men In America to-day? Ask yourselves who would be helped in the coming campaign by the new - of American disaster? American officers will nil you thai insurrection has been prolonged by American encouragement. American soldiers are lighting for the llag's supremacy, for the republic's ad vancing powi r; and there is no nobler cauie lor which to battle and to die than to plant American might and righteousness where duty points the way. "This Is r.o season for bitterness. It is a time for loyalty, love and brotherhood in all American hearts. Sections are no more; they have passed away in the progress of the great depublic. The twentieth century opens with the mightiest people of history marching onward to supremacy, with "Fraternity" as their watchword. We will not denounc • even tin mallgners 'if Ami r- Ican soldiers; we pity them instead, for thi y know not what they do. Our gri-ati t leader's loftiest words is our motto still: "Malice toward none, charity for all:" loy alty to the flag! I'pon the grave of every American soldier, wherever he yielded up his life, let thi graft fill teal's of the nation fall. And for the cause for which Amer ican soldiers have given their blood let the whole world know that the American people are united. Let watching rations learn that this new world power rising in the west Is not divided by classes, riven by strife, weakened by faction, and that those who stand against our advancii banner must meet a single, devoted, united people following after, l.tt history record that we are It: fact, as well as nann . the people of the United States of America."

Homo Competition In tlii k Sole Solu tion of tin* t'uliaii SiiKur I'roll 11' in. The democratic papers ami their "independent" and "reform" organs ar« milking a great shout over the. passage of tlie Cuban reciprocity measures through Die house, lieeanse that aetiou may lead to repuhlieau division and defeat; hut what will be the result, if that liill heeonies a law, so far as the consumers of sugar are concerned? .Nothing-. TJ.e sugar trust will eontinue to purchase all the foreign sugar imported into the I'nited States and make the priees at which sugar shall he sold, just as il has ever since Hawaii was annexed. It is true that the sugar tru.st m?y make reductions in prices in the re gions where sugar is produced in the I'nited States, hut lio one will expect reductions iu localities where there is 110 competition with the trust, says the lowa State Register. The ollicial report shows (hat 9fc5,- 568,0-10 pounds of sugar were pro duced in the I'nited States last year, | which was ahout one-sixth of the ."i,31.'i.!)K7,H40 pounds consumed in this Country during the year. One-third of the home production was from su gar beets ami two-thirds from cane. | Nn one will attempt to deny the fact I that sugar was cheaper because of [the home production. Protecting > home labor and building up home in dustries are tin- main objects of the | republican tariff. Thai is why the free trade democrats, "independents" and "reformers" are now joining in great rejoicing over the passage of the Cuban reciprocity bill in the house. It is possible that if that bill becomes a law it will destroy the SII -1 gar cane industry of the south and the sugar beet industry of the north, and thus destroy all the existing competition with the sugar trust. What then will he the result? The people of the. United Stntes have had notable lessons in the steel rail and tin industries of their own country. It is only 12 years since the free trades were insisting that "tinplate cannot be made in the I'nited States;" it is only about a quarter of a century since they were asserting that steel rails could not be made in this country; ami they are now insisting that the United States cannot produce its own sugar supply, notwithstanding sugar can be pro duced on about two-thirds of the til lable land of this country. Home competition is the only remedy. The price of sugar may be temporarily reduced because of the large world production last year, but the destruc tion of the American sugar indus tries w ill he certain to result in high er priced sugar, and free trade on su gar would not be of the slightest in jury to the sugar trust, simply be cause that trust buys the foreign sti- ' gar and makes the price at which it : shall be sold just as the coffee trust buys the coffee and makes the prices at which it shall be sold, not with- i standing there is 110 duty 011 coffees imported into the United States. HUNTING FOR AN ISSUE. |}<* 111 ot* 1*111>» \ r«» to S«• 112 i |» a Hiii' HIMI Cry \ limit \n> Old Til iil if, With a great clatter democrat! • , politicians have begun to denounce a "force bill" because a bill has bet : 1 introduced iu the house to investigate the suffrage situation in the stati - j that have adopted disfranchising eon- ' stitutions. This sudden eruption oi democratic noise about a possible s< - | called force bill is as vociferous as if the dreadful measure were already framed and Hearing a vote. .lust two , things have been suggested iu con gress in connection with general suf- 1 l'rage. One is a bill to give federal courts a certain jurisdiction in tpies- 1 tions relating to the election of fed- i era 1 (not state or local) officers. The other is simply a bill to investigate suffrage as affected by state constitu tions adopted in recent years. Judg- j ing from the violent democratic out- I cry it is a crime for congress even to investigate national questions of suf frage or to exercise any restraint on ■ the fraudulent election of its own I members, says the St. Louis (ilohe- Democrat. This feverish outbreak about an ; imaginary force bill shows how hard j run the democratic party is for an is sue of any kind. Many of its leaders j pretend they are ready to appeal to the country on a plank advocating , the surrender of the Philippines, but ! they have no real appetite for a ques tion practically decided in the elec tion of 1900. Xo lighting ground pre sents itself in financial matters. Prosperity abides with the |Vople. Free trade is neither new nor good as a rallying point. So ihe democratic Micawbers are splitting their lungs over the "force bill" they fancy they see somewhere behind the horizon. Any shadow of an issue is welcome to the party unable to discover any thing of real consequence to putin its next platform. Mr. Cleveland calls Mr. ltryau "an afflictive visita tion," and Mr. llryan says Mr. Cleve land's administration was "odious and odorous." Meanwhile, the re publicans represent the right side of all essential issues anil are amused by the democratic clamor about ques tions as yet unborn. CLondon is also complaining of the high price of meat. Let us see. Have not our free trade friends repeatedly asserted that it is the tariff alone which makes possible the formation of trusts and the exaction of excessive rates for food products? Is there, then, a meat trust in free trade—or partly free trade—England? Troy Times. AWFUL DISASTER. Eight Girls and Women Are Dead and Many Huit.
