2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1895. PATRIOTISM A STUBY, One Duty of Teachersto Inculcate Love of Country. ADDRESSES AT DENVER. Lessons in National Pride Urged as a Feature of School Work. PROF. LE CONTE ON EVOLUTION. Effect cf the Theory on Education Ably Demonstrated by the Californian. DENVER, Coro., July 11.—The morning session of the convention of the National Educational Association was devoted to patriotic addresses. The general subject under discussion was “The Duty and Op- portunity of the Schools in Promoting Patriotism,” and it provoked many en- thusiastic exp ions from the teachers, which were warmly applauded. The business of the day opened with the report of the nomination committee, which was unanimously adopted, the officers chosen being: President, N. C. Dougherty of Peoria, Ill.; secretary, Irwin Shepard of Winona, Minn.; treasurer, I. C. McNeill of Kansas City, Mo.; first vice-president, N. M. Butler of New York. E.E.McElroy of Portland, Or., was elected one of the vice-presid , and Earl Barnes of Stan- ford Unive v the California director. George H. Martin, supervisor of schools of Boston, read a paper on ‘‘New Standards of Patriotic Citizenship.” He said: he American idea of patriotism is the out- growth of centuries of struggle for personal and political ircedom. Men have fought and died to secure and defend what they have called their rights, S0 it has come about that our idea of & patriot isof a man with a sword, who loves his coun- try and is willing to die for it. Recently there has been a great revival of this sentiment. It is important to know what is to become of this sentiment. The ides that the only field for patriotism to exhibit itself is in war or eivil convulsion, must give way. To educate youth up to the new standard, we must study the historic patriotism to learn the spirit which underlay and prompted the deed—the spirit of sacrifice of self for the public weal. The first requirement for the new patriot is sound manhood, personal integrity, righteous- ness, Independent and self-supporting pro- s are needed from the top to the bottom We need a revival of the old scase of personal responsibility. Men need to feel that to vote, to serve on juries and to hold public office at & sacrifice of personal interests is to-day the highest patriotism. Personal in- terest and partisan prejudice must both give way to the demand for clean, business-like ad- ministration of all public affairs. Joseph Baldwin of Austin, Tex., followed in a brief address on ‘‘Patriotism in the Southland.” He said that no section of the country felt more love for the Republic in its entirety to-day than the South. The Southern people recognize that the cause of the Confederacy is lost, and are giad that it is so. They have a problem before them, the most serious that any people ever had to solve. It is the education and elevation to citizenship of a race degraded by many generations of slavery and ignor- ance. The peovle of the South have as- sumed the duty and are carrying it out. He defended the restrictions put upon the political liberty of the colored people, asserting that as fast as they become edu- cated they are accorded their legal rights. A. P. Marble, Superintendent of Schools of Omaha, spoke on “The Ethical Element in Patriotism.” Discussion was led by W. H. Bartholomew, principal of the Female High School, Louisville, Ky., who spoke the warmest love for his native land. He did not want to be anything but an Ameri- can citizen, and called upon the teachers to make lessons in National pride promi- nent in their schools. C. B. Gilbert, Superintendent-of Schools of St. Paul, thought the schoolroom a proper place to inculcate the lessons of patriotism, and congratulated America on the fact that her schoolteachers were her most patriotic citizens. J. R. Preston, State Superintendent of Bchools of Mississippi, made a thrilling speech in regard to the patriotism of his people. The schoolteacher, he said, was wiping out the differences and prejudices between sections. The session closed by the audience sing- ing “America.” ‘Work in the departments was continued this afternoon. In the kindergarten de- partment a “Comparison of the Educa- tional Theories of Froebel and Herbart” was discussed by Mrs. Eudora L. Hdilman of Washington and Frank M. McMurry of Buffalo. W. L. Tomlins of Chicago read a paper on “The Faculty and Ministry of Bong”; B. C.

Winship, editor of the New England Journal of Education, president; William G. Smith, editor of School Education, secretary, and George P. Brown, editor of The Public School Journal, treasurer. The next regular meeting will be in February at Jackson- ville, Fla. Vice-President W. H. Bartholomew pre- sided at the evening session. The report of the committee on necrology was pre- sented by C. W. Bardeen of Syracuse, N. Y., and referred without reading. 3 Professor Joseph Le Conte of the Uni- versity of California read a paper on “The Effect of the Theory of Evolution on Edu- cation.” *‘Evolution,” ne said, ‘‘has been recognized vaguely from the earliest times, but only recently applied to life. It has revolutionized our whole view of nature and man, and modified philosophy and the theory and methods of education. It has changed the naturalist of the past, who merely collected the wonders of nature, to the biologist, who analyzes. “‘Science is studied by three methods: By symbols, or the mathematical method; by experiment, and by comparison, or the evolution method. The latter is the most widely efficient. By tracing the gradations of life down from the highest vertebrates to the lowest invertebrates; from the fully de- veloped man back to the originating germ cell; from the fauna of to-day back to the earlier periods, and, comparing the results, we gain all our knowledge of biolog: This method may be applied to to all phe- nomena of human life. @ Psychology,” Professor Le Conte said, ‘‘can no longer be studied as a science dis- connected with other knowledges. There is now doubt that man, both in body and spirit, came by process of evolution from some lower form of animal. Evolution teaches that nothing originates all at once by fiat, but that all things come by growth. New forms come, not by destruction and re-creation, but by modification of the old. “The ancient idea was thatthe individual should always be sacrificed to the good of society, as the greater and more important organism; the new idea is that the in- dividual immortal soul is more important than all temporal social institutions. Evo- lution recognizes the importance of the individual, but sees in society the means of arising it to,the ideal humanity, and that only by subordinating individual interests can this be achieved. Evolution refutes the theory that man has fallen from a state of perfection which can only be re- gained through miraculous agency, but places the golden age in the future. The ascetic believes man is a dual nature, a pure spirit which must for its own -« elevation trample upon the impure body. Hedonic philosophy makes man but a kind of animal, whose pleasures are purely physical. Evolution combines the two theories, and while not suppress- ing the physical, subordinates it to the spiritual, the only one gaining strength and vigor and the other refinements from the combination. The lower animal has only the present; man, through memory and the imagination, has the past and the future. The animal has only self; man, through sympathy and love, has many selves. Through evolution selfhood in man is revealed and again lost in love.” ‘“Science and Education” was the sub- ject of a paper by W. L. Bryan, University of Indiana, Bloomington, Ind. He be- believed science is not all that is needed in education; common sense must be brought into use. The new scientific movement is doing much good, but it is hard to get it into the schools, although with such men as his predecessor at work in the cause the best might be hoped for. After adjournment the teachers were given a reception by the Colorado Teach- ers’ Association at the Brown Palace Hotel. CLARKSON ON CANDIATES Western Republicans, He Says, Will Make a Strong Fight for Allison. Defeat of Cleveland’s Third Term Aspirations Predicted by Colonel John C. New. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 1L.—General James 8. Clarkson of Iowa registered at the Fifth-avenue Hotel yesterday for the night. Clarkson denied that he has charge of Senator Allison’s Presidential boom. “Senator Allison has no boom,” he said, “and he is not now a candidate for the Presidency. There is a sirong under- current for him throughout the West. and if bis name should go before the National convention it would be on account of his friends. 1f his name appears I may add that his friends will make a hot fight for their favorite.” General Clarkson then turned toward local politics. “Do you know,” he said, “that Mayor Strong and Commissioner Roosevelt are making more votes for Tammany than anything el se could possibly do? Itisall right to say that they are enforcing the ex- cise law, and that laws ought to been- forced, but I tell you that when alaw to which public sentiment is bitterly opposed is e nforced some one has to suffer. “All this talk about the Democratic party being dead,” remarked the general, ‘‘makes me weary. I want to tell my Re- publican friends who are preaching all that kind of doctrine that they’re badly mistaken. The Democratic party that lived through the rebellion is not dead yet. Republicans must do something besides ln]g such nonsense if they expect the Re- i)uhlican ticket to win next year. While believe that we will carry the country, I also believe that the Democracy will give us a hard ficht when the time comes.” ‘“You say Senator Allison is not a candi- date. What do you think of the other candidates?” “Itis too early to talk politics,” said General Clarkson. “‘Congress has a lox; session ahead of it before that National camEaign will open. The session may break some prominent candidates, and it may make some of whom we do not hear.” Colonel John C. New of Indians, ex- Consul of the United States at London, sailed on the American liner Paris yester- day. Inan interview he said: “‘Grover Cleveland will not be the nominee of the Democratic party in 189. He has put himself outside of the circle of men who now control the party and will have no consideration in a convention, Besides, the third-term business is settled for good and all. We ended it all at Chicago in 1884, when General Grant ran. I wasone of the 306, and when we were beaten the question was ended. The people think that two terms are enough.” *“What do you think of Whitney?"’ “‘W. C. Whitney of New York is to-day the strongest candidate the Democratic party could nominate. He is a man of ability and is a very strong man.” ““What are General Harrison’s plans?”’ ‘‘General Harrison is not talking. He never talks, so I do not know.” Colonel New would not talk of elther Reed or McKinley. but when Serator Allison’s name was mentioned he said: “‘Allison is & good, strong, honest, cap- able man, and wlFl make a very good can- %1%_;:9. ;nial tfiq carly to uo‘mnc Mfinl. olitics in Indiana are quief ere seems to be a sort of nlull?” oo 1 CRUSADE AT THE HUB, Christian Clans Convene in Three Monster Gatherings.

Clark was presented, and numerous speakers addressed the En- deavorers, among them Dwight L. Moody, Rev. T.de Witt Talmage and John G. Wool- ley. The annual report of John Willis Baer, general secretary, was read simultaneously by Secretary Baer in Mechanics’ building, by Rev. John Barstow, Medford, Mass., in Tent Williston, and by J. E. Cheesman, Cleveland, Ohio, in Tent Endeavor. It says: “Each year the circumference of the Christian Endeavor wheel widens; each year thousands of spokes are added. Last year our wheel was strengthened by 7750 new societies (or ‘spokes’ if you please). This is the largest increase of any one vear since the wheel commenced revolving fourteen years ago. ‘Spoke after spoke’ passes our vision rapidly in this whirl of inscription—in all 41,229. Of these 4712 are from other lands, the United Kingdom heading the list with 2645.” The report shows that every country in the world is represented, save five—Italy, Russia, Iceland, Sweden and Greece. In the United States Pennsylvania still leads with 4139, New York next with 3822, Ohio 2787, Illinois 2446, Indiana 1762, Towa 1563, Massachusetts 1309, Kansas 1247, Missouri 1133, Michigan 1082, New Jersey 1045, etc., in all from the United States 33,412, against 28,698 last year, and the total from all countries of 41,229 societies, with an in- dividual membership of 2,473,470. ROBBED) BY THE CASHIER. An Towa Bank Looted of a Large Sum of Money. DES MOINES, Iowa, July 11.—Officers of the State Bank of Peru, a small town in Madison County, are here in search of C. 0. Davis, their cashier, who left with, it is believed, about $10,000. Davis went to Peru last January with good letters and was hired by the bank. On July 6 he said he would go to Newton to visit a friend. He was away several days, and there being no occasion to open the big safe in which the reserve cash was kept there was no suspicion. Yesterday the safe was tried and the combination found to have been changed. It hasnot been opened yet. Davis did not go to Newton. Telegrams from the bank and gnrfie: from which his letters purported to be develop that he was known to none of them. He was simply a huge fraud. No trace can be found of him, and it is believed heis out of the country. ——————— FLOODS IN NEW MEXICO. 4An Overflow of the Puerco Caus age to Railways. ALBUQUERQUE, N.

BRIBERY IN THE COUNCIL Alleged Misdoings of Chicago Officials to Be Inves~- tigated. A Speclal Grand Jury Will Look Into the Charges of Cor- ruption. CHICAGO, IrL., July 11.—The special Grand Jury which was summoned yester- day for the purpose of investigating spe- cific charges of conspiracy and solicitation of bribes on the part of the Aldermen and their go-betweens was impaneled to-day in Judge Tuthill’s court and strongly charged by his Honor. The jury is com- posed of twenty- three prominent business and professional men, In his charge Judge Tuthill said : “For months past the press of this city has teemed with charges more or lessdi- rect that corruption has existed in the pub- lic legislative body of the city. How much of truth there may be I do not know. These charges as made through the press have reached the stage where special acts of misconduct and malfeasance in office ha been charged against particular individuals. On the representation of the State’s attorney that it was for the public good that a special grand jury should be called, and on submission by him of evi- dence to me, I have caused it to be sum- moned. The only matter to be submitted to you will be the charge of corruption in the City Céuncil.” Aldermen Charles Martin and William Finkler, who are charged with soliciting brives from ice companies and conspiring to pass ‘sandbagging’’ ordinances, de- clared all such charges false to-day.

A Majority for the Government Shown on a Test Vote. OTTAWA, Ostario, July 11.—In the House this afternoon Dr. Foster, Govern- ment leader, stated that Hon. Mr. Angers, Minister of Agriculture, had resigned his position in the Cabinet, and his resigna- tion had been accepted. In regard to the Hon. J. A. Ouimet and S ir Adolphe Caron, he said they were for a time of the same opinion as Mr. Angers in regard to forcing “remedial legislation through this session, but saw that it was impossible and agreed to allow it to stand over until another session, after getting satisfactory assurance that it would be gone on_with then. They both consented to remain in the Cabinet. ¢ Mr. Laurier criticized their action and Sir Charles H. Tupper replied defending them. Dalton McCarthy said the Government was yielding to ‘the influence of the province of Quebec, There was no use promising to pass a remedial bill, because it was impossible, and there was no use in waiting on Manitoba to do so, because that province would never pass a hateful school aw. A motion by Mr. Laurier (opposition leader) made for the House to adjourn when speaking in rew to the statements of the ministers regarding cabinet resigna- tions was, after a lengthy debate, defeated to-night by a vote of 116 to 82, giving the Government a clear majority of thirty-four.

HERBERT IS SATISFIED. Americans on the Island Were Not Endangered by the Uprising. GRFAT TACT WAS DISPLAYED. Washington Officlals Pleased With the Management of the East~ ern Squadron. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 11.—Secre- tary Herbert to-day received a report from Admiral Carpenter, coinmander-in-chief of the Asiatic squadron on the flagship Baltimore, dated at Kobe, Japan, June 15, explaining to the satisfaction of the Navy Department why no American ships have been kept in the neighborhood of Formosa during the troubles there. “The occupation of Formosa by the Japanese,” writes the admiral, “was but little interfered with by the declaration of independence by the inhabitants of that island. A few desultory skirmishes have taken place and with no actual resistance of any moment. Minister Denby, when | informing the commander-in-chief of the declared independence of Formosa, sub- mitted the propriety of sending vessels | thither. In answer to a telegram inquir- ing about American interests on the is-| land, Mr. Denby withdrew his suggestion. Commander Craig while at Tamsui made an exhaustive report in regard to the condi- tions in Formosa. There are no American citizensthere, not even a missionary. The interests are all in the hands of foreigners that are desirous of making a display of force, the idea being to assemble as many vessels of different nationalities as possi- ble. The British and German nations are the only ones represented by men-of-war, as the business interests are principally in the bands of citizens of these countries, The marines and sailors that have been landed are in sufficient force to afford pro- tection to all foreigners.”” The admiral’s declination to spare any American warship from needed points at a critical stage of the Chinese-Japanese troubles, was based on the report of Com- mander Craig of the Concord, who had visited Tamsui, Formosa, the principal | port, with his ship the first week in May, for the specific purpose of finding out whether any American interests were in- volved on the island. Naval officers agree that Admiral Carpenter has upheld the dignity of the American flag throughout his career in the East, and has effectually dispelled all doubts at one time suggested of his ability to successfully conduct the delicate mission assigned to him of com- manding the largest American fleet ever assembled in foreign waters during a war | in whieh the United States occupied the delicate position of close friendliness to both combatants, CARPENTER DISPLEASED. Wanted the Baltimore Retained in the Asiatic Squadron. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 11.—It was gossiped about the Navy Department to- day that Admiral Carpenter, in command of the Asiatic station, is very much dis- pleased because his flagship Baltimore is to be ordered away from that station and be replaced by the Olympia. He does not ob- }ect to having the Olympia as his flagship, or he considers her a fine vessel, but he wanted the Baltimore kepton the Asiatic station and another vessel or two in ad- dition. OF INTEREST 70 THE COAST. Changes in the Regular Army—Postoffice Appointments. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 11.—Lieu- tenant-Colonel John W. French, Four- teenth Infantry (Vancouver barracks) will 1eport by telegraph to commanding gen- eral, Department of Texas, for assignment to station. Major Charles F.

Spain’s Displeasure Not Made Known to the State Department. ‘W ASHINGTON. D. C., July 11.—It was learned authoritively to-day that no representations have been made to the State Department by Semor Dupuy de Lome or any other person to the effect that Spain was displeased with the alleged utterances of James B. Eustis, the United States Embassador to France, concerning Cuban affairs. Furthermore, it is stated, on the same authority, that if Mr. Taylor, the United States Minister to Madrid, has denied to the Spanish Government that Mr. Eustis uttered the statements at- tributed to him he did so without explicit instructions from the State Department, and if he did anything atall it was the result of private arrangements between Mr. Eustis and- himself. Such a course would have been exceedingly irregular, and for that reason it isnot believed by the department to have been pursued. Nothing has been received at the depart- ment in any way, officially or otherwise, about the alleged interview. DEFICIT OF THE TREASURY. Prospects That It Will Not Be Inoreased During July, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 11.—Treas- ury receipts and expenditures have both been running heavy so far this month.

Since July 1 the general treasury bal- ance, according to the printed daily state- ment, has declined $2,000,000, standing at $191,518,000. From this there is to be de- ducted $6,527,616 for bonds and interest gmd. The gold reserve has declined from 107,557,009 to $107.213,000. The amount of‘:reasnéy.noteslé\nd United States notes redeemed in gold and reissued foot u $593,189. 8 x Tt is not believed the deficit will be very much increased for the month, for the ggmss it has now reached may be re- uced. ——— INDICTED FOR LIBEL. An Italian Editor's Attack onm Baron Fava Gets Him Into Trouble. WASHINGTON. D.

It Xs Said He Will Present the Champion~ ship Belt to Sullivan. CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 11.—A morning paper says: It can be authoritatively stated that John L. Sullivan will second James J. Cor- | bett in the prize-fight at Dallas, Tex., on October 31 next. From the same source of information it is given out as a fact that James J. Corbett will band over to John L. Sullivan the title and belt emblematic of the championship of the world before the present owner of both bélt and title ‘‘puts up his hands” against Fitzsimmons. ‘While this *mper cannot divulge the source of its information it is safe to guar- antee that John L. Sullivan will wield the towel over the present champion, and that he will advise and counsel bim in his go against the tall vanquisher of Dempsey, of McCarthy, of Choynski, of Maher and of Hall. 1t is equally positive that before the men come together a new diamond belt, valued at $5000 and donated by Richard K. Fox of the Police Gazette, will be given to Corbett in lien of the belt recently siolen in Iowa, and that this emblem of fistic supremacy will be formally handed over to Jobn L. Sullivan immediately after Corbett and Fitzsimmons shake hands. The thing has all been arranged. Cor- bett wants to quit fighting. He thinks he can and will whip Fitzsimmons. He argues that it would be a move in the di- rection of popular favor to do a gracious act by the big fellow and then retire, leav- ing those who come after to challenge for its possession and ownership. It is also equally certain that Sam Aus- tin, the s%orting editor of the Police Ga- zette, will be the referee of the contest. e HELD FOR KILLING SELJAN. Bail Denied the Threc Men Accused of the Murder. OMAHA, NEBR., July 11.—The prelimin- ary examination before Police Judge Berka of the three suspects in the Seljan murder case was ended this morning. In reviewing the case Judee Berka said that the death of the man from the effects of the wound in the throat had been estab- lished by the testimony of Dr. Summers, and that it was shown with such a wound Seljan could not have reached the river alive. While the case against the defend- ants was not as strong as it ought to be, there was sufficient reason to believe the de- fendants guilty, and that the testimony was such as to dispel the theory of suicide. The three suspects—Buckovitz, Mikan and Drubnitz—were committed to jail without bond to await trial in the District Court. M Jrban, the man who was a boarder at the Mikan House, and who was used as a witness against the alleged murderers, was held as a witness, and in default of bail fixed at $500, was remanded to jail. —_— ALTGELD'S NARROW ESCAPE.
