One of the most gratifying sUns of the times is the visible and rapid ebb ot the free silver tide that threatened to sweep the country some months ago. It was the most dangerous of all the politi cal crazes which have been Invented for more than a generation and It hud Its apparent success solely In the general de rrcsslon of Industry and widespread pov erty amongst the people. The Memphis massi convention hel-J some weeks ajto gave evidence of the beginning of the decline of tho free silver craze and the ostentatious cull nude by a numtwr of prominent Democratic lead ers, Including several United Mates sen ators, to hold a confidence In AVashlngton to lead the Democracy of the country Into the free silver ranks clearly demonstrated that the vitality of the movement has perished and that henceforth those who cry tor free silver coinage on the basis of 16 to 1 will foe classed as tho political freaks of the land. The Washington conference held a few weeks ago had no representative men in It, excepting some 1'nltcd States senators who had fallen Into the frje silver tide at an early day and now cannot extricate themselves without confessing their Ig norance or hypocrisy. Not half the states were represented and out ot the eighty- flve persons present, ai majority of them were 'from three Mates. It was. therefore, not In any sense a representative gathering, but was Blmply a. funeral wake over the remains of the . Populist element within the Democratic ranks. Both of the great parties of the country ,' are thus clearing their skirts of the stud- led assaults of demagogic or ignorant , Populists upon public and private credit. .:' It l now well assured that both the j great national conventions next year win declare rorj honest mousy and thus pro claim to the world that a degraded cur rency and doubtful credit cannot be among the things entertained by a pa triotic people Of nny party In this coun try. 1 The Boston Herald suys: "Ones the glory ot New England was that every man owned his own farm, and from his broad acres could defy the world, but between 1890 and 1890 In the six New 17, and 23 perectn of the farmers of mlnlshcd 24,117, and the tenant farmers increased 7,248, The number of tenant farmers in Massachusetts . was In 1S90 nearly double what it was In 1880, ami the percentage of farmers In Vermont and Connecticut at this time- was over 17, and 25 per cent of the farmers ot Rhode Island were then tenants, not land-owners. This chango, tf confined to Now 'England, would be startling, but in the south In 1890 there was an Increase of 13,915 owning farmers and 275,785 ten ant farmers. In Missouri, Arkansas nnd Texas there wa sa gain betweon I8S0 and ISM ot 47,882 owning farmers and 114,510 tenant farmers. A large proportion of t'hese are persons who were formerly laves, and now are tenants. In the middle states, during this interval, the owners have decreased 24.301, and the tenants have Increased 24,075. In eight slates of the northwest tha number or owning farmers was 129,322, and tho num ber ot tenant farmers lt)S,5a7. In Iowa the number of tenant farmers increased 16,503, In Kansas 30, tM. In forty-seven states the number of owning farmers hud In 1890 become 158,951, and the numb.-r ot tenant farmers had grown to 599,337. Those figures, which mbit be greatly extended, tliow that all over tho country the numlber of farmerJ who own their land Is decreasing, While the number of those who are tenants at will Is rapld'y increasing. The land, also, In many parts or tho country. Is advancing In value, In Nebraska It his risen during tho last twenty years from $1 an acra for rough land to $26 an acre with Improvements At the same time the profits of the far mer have been decreasing. Most of these tenant farmers pay a heavy rental for the use of the land, and a large propor tiun of those who own their farms are paying ai heavy rate or Interest on their mortgages. It Is only a question of tune when they must glv up and become t-n ant farmers. The publisher or a newspaper has one thing to sei; and one thing to rent. H has the newspaper to sell and the space in his columns to rent. Can anyone Inform us why he should be expected to ' give away either the one or the other He can do so If ht chooe, and he does, it a matter of practical fact, furnish a great deal of space rent free. But It does not follow that ho ought to be expected to do so. It ought to ba recognised as a contribution exactly as would be the giv ing away or sugar or coffee by the gro- ceryman. But strange to say, It is not looked upon in that light at ell, yet everybody knows that the existence of a newspaper depends as much on the rent of Its space and tho sale of tho paper as a merchant's success depends cn Belling his goods Instead of giving them away. Populists and antl-adminlstratlon Demo crats have often demanded the meaning of the expression "sound" dollar. Tho latest definition, and one of the best offered during the present campaign ot education, comes from the governor of Virginia, who says In a recent letter: "What I mean ty a sound dolhr is one that the farmer, mechanic and the la boring man can uso with a purchasing power of 100 cents und buy as much with it as any other dollar. What I mean "by a sound dollar Is one that Its nolder may .ay away to buy a home, save for a rainy day, or provide for himself in old age with absolute certainty that it will be as good as any other, dollar when he wants to use it. Gold Is that dollar; sil ver cannot be, unless by International agreement it is made equivalent to a gold dollar. I aim for a sound dollar for the poor man as well as the rich man. I shaJl never consent to the monetary sys tem which will place it In the power o the rich man to hoird his gold and pay his poor creditors In a depreciated dol lar." L - I. I. In the opinion of the Hawaiian Com mercial Journal, a paper now in Its' sixth number, which hus Improved materially since it started, the ntw Oriental steam ship line from Astoria to Yokohama and Hongkong will compete keenly with the existing lines to Honolulu, Australia and the Orient, and already on Hawaiian traffic has materially forced down 'freight and passenger rates. The export sta tistics of Haiwall for the quarter end ing June 30 show a total or J3,682,537, of which $3,507,979 was sugar. On this topic tho Journal, to which we refer, says: "If the present favorable conditions for the growing crop on these Islands continue, the yield will greatly exceed that ot former years. Add to this a cent to a cent and a half advance In price, a great revival in business should be the re sult." The fact that little Baby Murlon Cleve land Is to touch tr.ie button that will set the machinery of the Atlanta Exposition In motion, leads an exchango to remark: "It Is proper that Mr. Cleveland's Infint should open the great Industrial exposi tion, for there Is no one In this --ountry who has closed so many Industrial ex positions In the shape of mills and -factories as the distinguished Papa Cleve land. The family should do something to even up things." Jl'It. DEALEV'S REPLY. Astorla, Oregon, Sipt. (!, ISfW. Editor Astorlan: Under tho caption Another School Let ter," uppears a levle-w of the grltvanco of Mr. J. D. Hawes, In 'W'lilchi he takes tho liberty to Inform the public why he was not employed as principal of Cedar Street School. After mentioning the clerk, the principal of Court Strest School, the directors and others, says the reason why Mr. Dealey voted against him was to secure a position for hlH daughters. This is a malicious falsehood, asi.ny or all tho members of the hoard can tes tify. The primary teacher under his de rection at that time was employed Inst year, and was recently elected for je ensuing year, so there must be s:-.i:e other cause. -I did not vote against Mr. Hawes, but placed In nomination Mr. J. M. Powell, who was elected and declined. At a subsequent meetfng I nominated T. J. Jackson, and he wus elected. I think the patrons of the school are satisfied with the change. I am not under any such obligation to any member of the iboard as stated by Mr. Hawes, for vot ing 'for my daughters, and they are at liberty to discharge them wlien they fall to give satisfaction as teachers. My vote Is my own and I reserve the right to cast It for the best Interest of the pub lic schools of our city and I challenge a review of my acts as a member of the school board. 'Mr. Editor, I regret to have to trespass on your space, but promise you that under any circumstances I wild not again offend in this matter. Very (Respect fully, TiroSTAS DEALEY. SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS. An Old, Tried and Successful Method or Conducting Tnem Proposed by a Correspondent. Editor Astorlan: There Is perhaps no morn perplexing question In regard to graded school work than that concerning the liest system or conducting examinations. It Is, Indeed, a debatable question 'Whether examina tions, as usually conducted, are a desir able test of the readiness of the pupl for promotion, and leading educators will be found nt variance on the subject. In the ungraded schools the teacher can do without the examination In nil Its rigidity, and thnt fact will perhaps account to some extent for the greater etlli-leney or the ungraded schools. But not so with the teacher or the graded s.-hool. We are confronted with the ex amination as a necessity, especially In cities where many classes are conducted In thn same grade. Laying iNide, then-fore, all thought or finding a substitute ror the examination as now In use, I 'have s-pent considerable time In studying the ipresent system, en deavoring to dls.-over tho 4est method known to graded school workers, and will beg u little space In your paper to de scribe a plan that has been productive of good results. The object of an examination Is to test the proficiency of the pupil. Tho ques tions then, tftould be reasonable, and the murklng of grades should be exact. The former Is usually accomplished the latter very seldom. Very few teachers In marking examination papers will be guided only ly what arpears In the pupil's answer, but the great majority will nmke allowance for "whnt the pupil knew. 1)iit did not write." This "making allowance" Is found to be detrimental In many rospoets. In time the pupil comes to expect It and will be negligent In his studies, feeling confident that his teacher "will not lot him fall." ir a pupil does rail to pass an examination, he is usually of t'he opinion that other pupils were f.iv.T.-d in the markings. Teachers alpo. though ordinarily the most con scientious people living will bo found weakening when they wleM t'he 'blue pen cil over a stack of examination papers. Each teacher, c'f course, wishes his pupils to receive a high standing, and knowing that his fellow teachers are making al lowances, will be careful to leave as wide a margin for unwritten knowledge a others do. As a consequence many pupils are passed to a higher grade t'hoiua wholly unprepared. But this can be prevented. Snpposs now that the announce nent be mule at the beginning of the school year that when examination day arrlvl the Instructors of the sime grade will ex change classes and coaidu.-t the examina tion of other classes than their own. What would be the result? In the first place, from the first dsy of school every teacher would strive as he never did before to prepara iua pupils for the examination which must of necva- slty be a fair test of the Quality of work performed und Instructions given. Every .pupil would feel that If . he passed the examination, he must do so by his own efforts and could feci no de pendence upon tha lenity of his teacher. Tho teacher would prepare his pupil by giving him a -broad and thorough un derstanding of the subjects taught, for that would be the only way to avoid the chagrin of 'having his pupils fall. No teacher could then be charged with giving assistance to pupils during ex amination, nor would any teacher dare to do Injustice In marking the paper.? of anot-her teacher's pupils, for tho papers could be re-cxamlned by a committee if appealed by a teacher feeling aggrieved. No trouble 'has ever been experienced along this lino where this method is used. This method of conducting examinations has been tried, though not in many cases, and has been found an unqualllled suc cess. The superintendent of schools In a city where the examinations wera former ly conducted In this manner tells me that there has m v:- iheen so thorough work done since t'he mi t:i"d was dropped. Tho only opposition found to the old method was from those teachers who found that It made thorn work harder than they cared to, and who did not take pride in doing thorough and earnest work. It seems to me that the method is worthy of at least one ycer's trial, for at the worst no harm could come of it, while there Is every probability of good being accomplished. A. AV. PRESCGTT.
