jiat from the following, which ap
peared ia a recent Uaue of the Am

"Secretary Case spoke for the later

med a too formidable experiment

beard it proposed with that cold In

noted. The Idea, however. Is cot to
annihilate this currency, but to sell it
for whatever it may bring ia the mar
ktta of the worll. Say oa-half of

meant silver as well as gold. Hence
the treasury department could easily
protect iielf from raids oa the part
of gold brokers ty following the ex
acpie of the Bank of France and using
its own option as to whether It should
pay gold or silver in exchange for

That the movement m hand bodes

as fr-'''Ow:
"The sale by a government of Its

TWENTIETH CENTURY SCHOOLS
CkMNtlar Alrwi B1It That There
Will he Cir lnprovmtBti Made
1 the Common hcheol
feyttcm.
In an article in the Saturday Even
ing Post, Chancellor Andrews says
some, very pointed things about the
common schools and school boards.
He is an earnest advocate of manual
training. On that subject he says:
"The work performed by the child in
manual training, for instance, is worth
all Its cost aa a knack or slelght-of-hand.
and ten times its cost as an aid
to motor efficiency and morality. No
other pedagogical agency equals it In
awakening the dull or In reforming the
vicious. Proper manual training is
at bottom mental; It does not retard,
but advances mental attainments.
Still more Is this true of color work,
drawiag and the various attempts at
art. They are educative In a great
variety of ways, exerting a manual, a
mental, an aesthetic and a moral in
fluence. An almost spontaneous art
power resides In many children.which
needs only cultivation to become a
beaSga factor la their lives."
In regard to aaother question in
which the public is generally Inter
ested at the present, he says: .
"In a recent work on finance, Henry
C. Adams says, in substance, that if
this republic, is to continue free, all
grades of education must be provided
for at the general cost. This for the
reason - that in- privately- endowed 4
schools the teaching ia shaded to suit
the social classes from which the ben
efactors haiL Consciously or uncon
sciously the bias of the clas3 which
maintains these institutions Is dis
played In their work. ' There is a
great truth in this; The Instruction
giren In privately endowed schools Is
usually not intended to be prejudiced,
and yet a certain prejudice It cannot
avoid. Questions rital to the masses
are either not discussed at all, or only
superficially and one-sidedly. This be
ing so, the inquiry what is to be the
character of the public schools In the
twentieth century becomes most in
teresting and Important. In so brief
an article we can touch only the aa
lient points In the coming change."
One of the points in which he ex
pects to see a change is in the teach
ing of morals. Whatever one may
think of the other propositions ad
vanced there will certainly be an uni
versal agreement with his views on
this question. Upon this he observes:
"The time seems near at hand when
public schools will be able to teach
the elements of morality in a positive
way. Hitherto they have not been
permitted to attempt this because the
simplest moral teaching has been
thought to involve dogma. This fear
is now seen to be groundless. All are
becoming aware that for practical pur
poses morality can be taught without
dipping into religion.
"Public sentiment would even now
sanction the positive and regular
teaching ia the public schools of clean
liness In body, speech and thought.
of temperance, of the rights and laws
of property, of public spirit, love of
country, regard for parents, tne aged,
the feeble, the unfortunate. There are
no parents who do not wish their chll
dren schooled In these vastly Impcr
tant duties.
"AH the common virtues need to be
Inculcated in the school as well as at
home. This is a work that the school
of the twentieth century Is going to
undertake and successfully carry out.
A most useful code of morals will be
taught In the schools, which will fast
en upon the child at the very begin
ning of his mental life the principles
that tend to produce good citizenship,
the end and aim of the public school
system. - '
When the common virtues are thu3
taught in the public schools as part
of their regular oQce. when we bring
before all children in this effective way
the difference between right and
wrong, and the royal claims of duty.
tba schools will take on a new rela
tion to the people now patronizing var
ious forms of private schools. Then,
without quarrel or dispute. It will be
sen that all children can be safely
placed nader the auspices of the pub
lic school system, sectwlse divisions
among elementary schools being no
longer necessary. This reform in pub
lic schooling is, in my opinion, de
stined to bring about universal faith
in them, all citizens, without distinc
tion of creed, applauding them with
one voice." .

COMPLETE' EDUCATION
Chancellor Andrews Delivers an Ad
dress to Omaha Teachers A
Great Audience Vnru Out
to Hear Him.
Chancellor Andrews delivered a
very able address to the teachers of
Omaha last Friday at noon. The
schools were all closed earlier than
usual so as to give them an opportun
ity to hear the great educator. The
address was along the same lines that
The Independent has for so many
years advocated. The education of the
mind, without the education of the
whole body is only a partial educa
cation. The eye must be educated and
drilled or it can see only partially.
The hand must be educated or it -yill
prove deficient. The muscles must be
educated or they cannot perform their
complete, functions. J The regents of
the university will recognize that the
following paragraph is along exactly
the same lines of the address delivered
before them by the editor of The In
dependent when the effort was made
by the Hayden Art club to have the
university make the art school a part
of the university.
"This practical mode of educating
people enlarges the industrial efflcr
iency of a nation. It is calculated to
bring out the powers of art apprecia
tion and art creation, in which Am
ericans are so grossly lacking. For a
century we have been trying to devise
egislation which might enable Am
ericans to do the manufacturing for
Americans. But there is an impor
tant department in which we have
done almost nothing to render our in
dustries independent of Europe. I re
fer to the Immense field of industrial
design. Our cotton and woollen goods,
our wallpapers, calicoes and other
staple articles of manufacture are
nearly all stamped with designs which
originated in foreigners' minds. We
have to pay foreigners millions of dol-
ars yearly for this service. There is
among us more of less technical train-
ng for designing, but unless this is
based on a cultivated power of obser
vation and fine discrimination In col
ors and form3, begun in youth, for
eigners will continue to design for us
and make us pay tribute to Europe
therefor. If the American people would
take measures to build up by proper
education this artistic taste and the
power to create their own designs, it
would not only save the millions of
dollars now yearly paid abroad for da
signs, but advance our people in oae
of the richest elements of civiliza-
ion."

HARD AT IT
Silver Dollars Must be "Redeemed" and
Sold Tor old Metal All the Bankers
Say so.
The following Washington dispatch
of the 17th inst. will give an idea of
the work being put In by the bankers'
lobby at this session of congress and
the sort of literature that will burden
the columns of the great dailies for
the next two years:
"The several measures providing for
the more definite estimate of the gold
standard were under consideration
again today by the house committee
on coinage, Mr. Roberts, director of
the mint, being heard and letters be
ing received frorr prominent financial
experts. Mr. Roberts approved ttuj
general Idea of legislation for the ex
change of silver dollars for gold. He
said It would not add anything to tho
burden of the gold reserve. The only
demand on tne gold reserve would be
for export purposes, and the govern
ment was bound to meet that demaad
in any event.
"Mr. Roberts was cross-examined
quite sharply by Representative Coch
ran of Missouri and Shafroth of Colo
rado, representing the silver elemeit
on the committee, and Mr. Cochran
announced that the opposition to the
proposed legislation would ask for
hearings later.
"A letter from President Williams
of the Chemical National bank of New
York was read approving the purposa
of the pending bill as "demanded oy
public sentiment and by the emphatic
indorsement by the people of the pr;n-
ciple of the gold standard." Mr. Will
iams expressed preference for thj
Levy bill.
"A letter from John Harrison
Rhoades, chairman of the committea
on finance of the New York chamber
of commerce, also was read, express
ing hearty approval of the proposed
legislation.
"Mr. M. L. Muehlemann, in a me
morandum submitted, says the sil7er
bullion had cost us about 92.4 cents an
ounce, and would sell now for about
65 cents per ounce. Its coinage as sub
sidiary coin, he wrote, would be en
tirely justifiable and would cause an
actual gain to the treasury cash. H"i
added that if the purpose of the leer's
lation is to suspend the coinage of thi
standard dollars a 'repealer' woul
make that purpose much more definite
The hearings will be resumed nxt
Monday."
The Levy bill, which Mr. Williaras
of the Chemical National bank pre
fers to all others, makes peciflc pro
visions for the issue of bonds. That
will suit the bankers exactly. T ir.
other bills leave the issuing of bonds
to the discretion of the secretary un
der the present law.
Pension System
Old world oppressions gradually
gain foothold and secure precedents
during this joint reign of Mark and
Mack. The pension list is gradually
being extended to the officials as well
as for military and naval service, pro
viding that the recipients are uphold
ers of plutocracy and members in good
standing in the republican party. If
he rate they have established in this
business is kept up many of the syco
phants will be on the pension lists.
n commenting on this tendency, the
Baltimore American remarks as fol-
ows: . . . ' '
'When the bill to place Congress
man Boutelle on the retired list of the
navy , was passed , the American ex
pressed the opinion that It was a vic-
ous precedent, which would be speed
ily employed by congress. The coun
try has not had long to wait for the
confirmation of the American's pre
diction." The senate passed a bill yes
terday to pension Horatio N. Davis,
the father of the late Senator Davis,
at the rate of $50 a month. That he
was not placed on the retired, list of
the army or navy is probably due to
the fact that he is not a senator or a
member of congress. The senate may
have been disinclined to push this sys
tem of rewards too far, while it was a
novelty to the public." ,

CHESS AND HUMAN NATURE.
By Henry E. Hartzog, LL. D., Presi
dent Clemson College, S. C.
Chess is popularly regarded as an
amusement for the Idle hours of idlo
men. That , may be true when it is
played only for amusement. Chess is
something more for those who spare
the time to dive Into the subtle prin
ciples of the game. ; We frequently
hear a man say he hasn't time to play
chess. I heard a gentleman say that
some days ago, who spends more time
hunting and fishing in one week than
the average player would spend over
chess in six months. The human mind
must have some relaxation and if one
gets that relaxation in a game ;f
chess, he is thereby improved and
strengthened for his other duties. Ben-
amln Franklin has written a clever
article on the "Morals of Chess." He
points out the fact that chess playing
develops the faculties of caution and
prudence. Other writers have also ad
vocated chess as a means of mental
discipline. It certainly teaches a man
how to reason. It certainly develops
concentration.
I wish briefly to sketch another
value of chess not often referred to by
writers on this subject; the value of
chess as a means of learning human
nature.
Chess is nothing more nor less than
an intellectual fight. It Is a "contest
between two brains. It is this ele
ment of chess that makes the game so
surpassingly popular, Nothing ; ia
more attractive to the ' average man
than a fight. Even a dog fight or a
boxing match will catch and hold tha,
attention of the public. Now, in chess
t is true there is no blood .to flow.
There are no human forms hacked or
torn by swords, but the contest is In a
high Intellectual ; arena. Let us see
now how we can apply this to the
study of human nature. Life itself ia
a struggle. . Every man who holds a
position of any importance or respon
sibility will have enemies. He has to
meet opposition. He must learn how
to say.no. The art, therefore, of at
tacking, and the. art of defending, or
he art of attacking and defending at
the same time must be practiced by
every man. In chess a premature at
tack ends with signal defeat. A weak
defence is immediately taken advan
tage of and leads to disorganization.
The chess board is a picture of life. If
we could imagine these pieces of wood
transformed Into human beings we
would see during the progress of the
game that which is going on in the
dally struggle for existence.
The player soon learns in chess that
it does not pay to attack prematurely.
He learns that it is best in the long
run to wait until his forces are well
mobilized and securely posted. He
learns to look ahead, to form combin
ations, and he learns that It pays oc
casionally to sacrifice some piece on
the board in order to gain the great
object in view.
Now, is not4 that a picture of man
In his relation to other men? In
whatever sphere of life one may be
does it not pay to prepare oneself
thoroughly? Does It not pay some
times to make a sacrifice of pleasure
or of money or some other minor con
sideration in order to gain the main
purpose that one has in view.
In chess, too, we learn that all the
forces under command should ne
brought to bear upon one object, that
is the check-mating of the opponent s
king. Side plays, however brilliant or
sparkling, are but a waste of time if
they fail to bear upon the main object
in view. Here again is a picture of
life. The . successful man is the one
with a definite purpose. He is the
one who bends all his energies to the
accomplishment of that purpose. If
he fritters away his time with side-
plays, it is not likely to succeed.
In chess there are eight small pawns
These are small in size and apparently
small in value. The inexperienced
player is ' apt to underestimate their
importance. Pawn playing, however,
is the very soul of chess. A man who
does not know how to handle his
pawns effectively can never become a
Rood player. It is thrilling to watch
a good player as he pushes his pawns
onward, driving opposition before
them, and finally reaching the queen
line where they turn the tide of bat
tie. Here again we have a picture of
life. Many a man has In his keeping
some little talents which should not
be despised. If that little talent is
pushed forward, if properly supported.
if placed in the very best position, It
will become the turning point in the
battle of life.
Another lesson learned is that ex
perience combined with study pro
duces the strong successful player.
Nothing can take the place of exper
ience. One cannot learn this beautiful
game from books alone. His book
knowledge must be supplemented by

The members of the legislature have

the question they are no nearer a solu

the first ballots, but as the members
skin around from one -candidate to an

A eood manv republicans have made
up their minds that all that is possible
for them to get out of this tnmg is one
senator as It is either that or nothing.
No two of the candidates have enough
vote's if combined to elect, and not
one of the candidates could throw
nil th vntps cast for him to any other.
The bitterness among the candidates
and their followers is so great that
there seems to be little, hope of an
election. The only way that seenia
possible at present to break the dead
lock is for some one or tne repuDiican
randidatfts to throw enough votes to
elect a fusionlst and the fusionists in
return throw enough votes to elect
him. That would give one republican
and one fusion senator. Even that
does not meet with the universal ap
proval of all the fusionists. Some re
publicans say that if worse comes to
worse, It is better to, get one republi
can senator than none, for if the pres
ent situation continues it will end in
electing no senator at all.
For the first three or four days afte
the voting for senator began, consid
erable Interest was manifested in the
contest, but since that time all Inter
est seems to have died out. Business
men and the ordinary citizens do not
even take the trouble to inquire what
the vote was during the afternoon af
ter a vote has been cast. Some people
come here from different counties in
the state who are sent for by the dif
ferent candidates, but outside of the
candidates and those who expect to
get offices through them, no one seems
to .care anything about the contest. It
has become too apparent that there ia
no. principle or policy involved that
it will make no difference to the peo
ple of the state which one of the can
didates is elected, or whether no one
is elected at all.
Outside of the voting for senator the

thing they attended to Immediately.
A great many bills have been intro
duced, some of importance, but they
have not got far enough along to in
dicate what will be done with them. A"
few unimportant bills have passed. ;
From the very beginning there have
been a host of office-seekers here
bigger crowds of them than ever werei
seen at a meeting of a legislature be
fore. There are alway3 a long string
of them waiting in the ante-room ot
the governor's office for a chance. Al
together the 'redeemers' do not seem,
to be having a happy time. The fu
sionists spoiled the "political busi
ness' by the record that they made and
a good many who have come to Lin
coln declare there "is nothing In it:
any more" and. wish that they had
staid . at home and had not spent so
much money and time whooping it up
for Mark Hanna and McKinley.
Office Seekers
Two ' years ago the P Street Idiot
used to weep and wall so that he could
be heard all over town whenever hi
thought of the office-seekers that wenj
In Lincoln after the fusion victory. In
those days he was disconsolate over
the fact that there was a contest for
the appointive places under the gov
ernor One would have thought to
hear his wallings that no such thin;;
ever occurred under republican rult
Now that the town is overrun with
office-seekers and the official business
of the state is obstructed by uncounted
battalions of them, he is forced to take
notice of the , fact and refers to it ia
the following fashion:
"Governor Dietrich has spent two or
three weeks in the privacy of his of
fice where he receives the seekers af
ter office. The streain of callers ha3
not let up. From morning till night
his reception room is crowded with
patriots who wish to speak a word ia
his ear. The suggestion has been
made that the governor should hold
another reception for the people who
wish to make his acquaintance, but
ho do not wish an olfice. The inaug
ural reception served this purpose, but
hundreds of. callers on that occasion
were unable to gain entrance to the
ball owing to the great crowd in wait
ing." If the dinner pails are so full Jt
home, how, is it that such numbers
flock to Lincoln and beg and plead
for some little office that is within the
gift of the governor? In another placo
the Idiot says that their numbers are
so great that there has not been a va
cant room in a hotel in Lincoln since
the "redeemers" arrived, and that the
commercial travellers have to rout
rooms outside the hotels and make
their visits 'between daylight and dark
as there is no place for them to sleep
in the whole city. Some one should
inform these office-seeking gentlemen
that the full dinner pails are only for
the few and that they are very scares
In Lincoln. If they have anything at
all to eat at home they had better
stay and not get themselves In deijt
hunting state dinner pails.
