The Bch ring Sea and Silver Question Discussed. Also Other Hatters of Interest. - (Special CorreBpondcnce. Washington, D. C, March 23, '92. The session of congress just preced ing a presidential campaign generally fails to accomplish much important legislation, and tho present one prom ises to bo no exception to tho rule. Tho representatives of the great political parties are on theso occasions spurring for position, each afraid to give the other an "opcujing." The position of the majority. party at such a time is es pecially dangerous and at tho begin ning of; the present session it was tho progranuno of the democratic leaders to pass one or two bills punching small holes in tho MeKiutey tariff, and then, after voting the usual appropriations, secure an early adjournment. But these well-laid plans have to n certain extent miscarried. The advocates of silver in this congress were too much in earnest to be held down by the coat tails and have precipitated a condition Of things quite disgusting to eastern democrats nd to a number of presi dential candidates. While the silver question is not a party issue, a large majority of the ad vocates of free coinage are democrats, especially in the House, where the sil ver states, though republican, have a small representation. Raising the is sue at this time, therefore, is likely to worry tho democrats a great deal more than it does or can the republicans. In the s.Niato there are no less than six presidential aspirants, two republicans Cullom and Allison, and four demo crats Palmer. Hill, Gorman and Cur lisle, who would prefer not to face the question just now. Even President Harrison, whoso views on the subject are so well known, docs not want to be called upon to veto a silver bill, right on the evo of the Minneapolis conven tion. But all will have to face the mu sic. There is no reasonable doubt of the passage of the bill through both houses. It is quite as strong propor tionately in the seuatc as in the lower house, as there the western silver stales have their greatest voting strength. A vigorous effort is being made among eastern democrats to secure inaction. but it is not likelv to meet with suc cess, especially in the house. Tho only j possible chauce for postponement is in j the senate, where a number of silver j democrats may be induced to vote to j defer until next session, though this is : not at all probable. I Another war cloud, somjwhat larger man a man s nana, ana even more ):or- teutious than the lata Chilian dispute, now looms up on the horizon. There is quiw a strong probability that Uncle Sam mar have ultimately to Gght for the protection of his s.-a'.s iu H.-hring Sea. In that cae our northern tosses- sions. which we have all aloiiL' central- uKeu uur,-. ero acquis sucn tolenibly exjiensive. The British gov- ernmenl seems inutspos.d to join in j preventing Canadian poachers from killing the seals at wholesale. The nuxlus vivt ndi of l:i: t s-ason is not to be renewed, ihe chief reason evidently bing that th j seal killers are inostlv British subjects.

There is a ureal unanimity of oiiin- i ion as to what would ik the outcome of a war with Great liritain. should ouo occur. "We have licked the British twice." it is generally said, "and we I can do it again." There is a good d-al j of inconsiderate braggadocia about this, j vet it is tirvuablv true, but it Is well ! to consider how much b. tt.T prcp:ired . : lor war Kngland is to-day than we are. and what iinmcns danuige she could at least do to our muratime commerce, to our sealioard cities, and to the com merce and cities upon the groat lakes. Gen. Boyuton has lately had a series of articles in tho Washington Post, show ing what great preparations Gral Britain has made and is making for offensive operations on our northern border. Great canals ar.; b.dng con struct. d through which England's im mense war ships can pass from the St. Lawrence into th j upper lakes and a line of naval j-osts of groat strongth has b-H-n established facing our entire Atlantic coast from Halifax to Jamaica. In addition to this, a uaval station has been established on the l'acitic, com manding the entrance to Pugot Sound, aud lying between our possessions on ; that coast. All these preparation, says j Boyuton, which have been planned aud push :d forward with great vigor dur- i ing the past five years, look much fur ther into the future than the simple djfensj of Canada, Along the same lino is tho interview published lust Saturday, with Gill. Miles calling at tention to tho really dofenseless condi tion of this country as against any woll equipped naval power. The general b liev.s that in thosj days of dvnamitj, electricity, machine-guns and similar modern engines of war, the American idea, that there is tinu enough to pre pare for war whoti it comes, is not un likely to b sadly slipped up sooner or later. In this country wo do not lik lo think of war. or provide for iw pos sible coming, but as the surest way to insure p.-ace is to b2 pi-epared for war, though if ul m:tt are beginning to give th j subjjctmore considet ntion. It is rarily that a new number of congross gjts an opportunity to 'Spread his Wings' to any extent during his first session. The old mem bars generally think it their business to luonoplize the front seats and make all the noisu when then is a ything important on tap, henco tho new mem ber is made to feel that ho must take a few lessons before making any "breaks'' and finds it difficult to "catch the ?.peaker's eyo," as tho saying goes. But tho present congress is a little peculiar in this respect. So many of the old mcinburs got snowed under at tho last election, that there is an unu sual proxrlion of now bloixl nnd plenty of room iufront for ttion of abil ity. This uccounts, in a measure, for the airing young Mr. Ryan, of Neb raska, was enabled to give his voico a few days ago on the tariff quostiou. Yet the spoach was the sensation of the sessiou, thus far, and one of tho best that lias been delivered in any congress on tnat subject. It marks its author as a man who would bo bound to secure recognition tinder any cir cumstances. It is too early vet to pro- dirt that more of his stamp may not be developed among tho many untried men on the floor. The rocord of three deaths and at least two narrow escapes from fatal illness bo far this session is rather above the average. Mr. Springer has been enjoying himself during his con valcuconse, it is said, reading the ob tuarics printed in the newspaper when he was so near death's door. Important Lectures.

In the first place, teaching is not th.; act of imparting knowledge. One can impart food to a child, but not knowledge. The conception that the teacher or her book is a reservoir of knowledge from whieli a portion may be imparted to the learner, and tho reservoir still remain as full as it was bjfore, is common with many teachers. How often have we h.-ard knowledge described as that wonderful and most valuable possession which the pos sessor can give entirely to another and yet lose uouo of it. This is a vague, jtoctical way of speaking of the pro cess of teaching that has nothing help ful in it to him who is trying to dis cover what it is that one really does for another when he teaches him. One naturall.: thinks of the widow's wonderful measure of meal and uritaeof oil in connection with this conception of teaching. 2. Teaching is the proems by which me fccn-acuvuy 01 me learner is fx- cited to thiuk and feel as the teacher wishes. This is the positive side the act. (It has a negative side also. which we will not consider here.): The mind is a a.df-active being arid isj conscious of it srlf-activity. Iearn-i ing is the proems of forming ideas and j thoughts that nr.! true; that is. thatj ! conform to the actual truth of things j fas 1hr fviit in fti. wit-lri Th ideas and thoughts aro ways or forms I in which this seif-active mind acU, I aud of which it l conscious. They j are not something put into thi mind, j but are the mind's own acts and pro-! duced by it. It appears, therefore, J that the mind must produce, or con- J struct, all of iw knowledgo for itself. 1 This constructing of knowledge i 1 learning.
