JOaTIIKK XOIl ItOOSEVEI.Tfci HKYAN'8. There has been much comment up on the manifest resemblance of nomo of lr. Roosevelt' doctrine as luld down In hlM recent message In Home , of Air. Bryan's, but the large indebt . eanejs of these gentlemen to Mr. Cleveland for the doctrine held in icommon by both m-onis In danger of being overlooked. It was tho tx-eheriff who llrat busted a truHt and, who actually secured the enact ment of an Income-tax measure Into law, albeit the Supreme Court knocked the latter In the head. And this j was years ago. when Mr. Bryan was known merely u a "boy orator," and ! when Mr. Roosevelt had never gotttn his feet on the presidential ladder by accepting credit for leading a charge In which he never partici pated. On I he Kubject of tariff re forrq, upon which Jlr. tooevelt has SUReTed hlmitelf to be gagged despite his known view. Mr. Cleveland never wavered, although the politicians told him; that the people were so llttlo awafce to their Interests In the matter and jlhe trust so much that It would be rblnouM .Mi Roosevelt made a plain broach of the kiw In hi anxiety to Ingratiate himself with l he "okl suldlrr vote" by handing out ftivors on his own sole authority; Mr. Cleve land .vetoed pension grabs by the hundred, ' although he knew tie was making a host of bitter enemies hy . doing so. Never was there a man Who hewed more wiuarely to the line without caring a cuss where tho chips fell. Because Mr. Cleveland displayed this same unshakable res olution In ublding by what hn kticv to be right during the hour of storm, when the Democratic party had gone off after fopulim.ajwl the Republi can party fluctuated feebly lielue n this doctrine and that, h 1m uncompro mising war on predatory e;.lth ha been almost forgotten and many peo ple have formed the i..ilon 1 1)U t Was a hide-bound conservative As we have shown, lie was it good deal of a radleul In an em in oily sane way.

Englishmen have been rudely jarred by having a disagree able contingency arising out of the r new treaty of alliance with Japan forced upon their attention. In a war between Japan and any other power they are bound to assist their ally and could not honorably remain neutral If she became engaged In war, even with the United Htates for the Balfour government did not have the foresight to ask that English-speaking nations be excepted. England would be called upon to light beside Orientals against her own blood and speech. It Is not to be wondered at that her attitude toward us is Just now one of embarrassment.

Special 'jto The Observer. Morganlon. Dec, 11. Mr. McK. Goodwin had his turn to-day. That Is. he began to have It. Prof. M. II, iioit was his first witness, but other prominent cltlsens ot. the State testi fied In his behalf The whole corps or teocners is under subpoena and at tends all the sittings, which mutt mean that the work of the school It paralysed during this Investigation, frof. Holt's testimony Is the matt Interesting I have heard. Prof. Holt said that the suDerln tendent'a residence was completed lo -rnor to that time Prof. food win got board and lodging In thi main Duildlng. and laundry for him self and family. After thct 1500 was allowed In lieu of board, and he has had free Ice, milk, vegetables In sea. eon, and laundry. The school fund furnished one room In the n.ldena and partly furnished another. He presumes that Prjf. Goodwin fur nished the rest of the house at hi own expense. .The room furnished by Jitate money was the guest chamber, for official visitors. Whatever Good win got, he got under order of the board of directors. As to Mr. Goodwin's absences, the board has understood tho reason for every one of them, and everv one of them has had the approval of the board. The board has never repri manded Mr. Ooodwln, except for at tending ao strictly to business that hs endangered his health. "We have never been able to persuade him to take time for recreation." Aa to favoritism. In school. Prof. Holt said brightly that he would agree with the allegation In the complaint that It Is ; nard to prove, the MR.S. WINSTON'S MANIFEST DU TIES. Mrs. Winston's duties, according to him. are to be tho social heud of the household, to meet visitors In tha The Observer's sympathies In matter are rather with "Theodore," although it Is evident that he dis played even more than his usual In discretion. "Maria" should have hud absence of the superintendent, to pre sense enough to know that what lie wrote as Governor of New York could not bo considered as proceed ing from him when President of tho United Htates, and that In any event she could not be permitted to run th? foreign policy of the United State and endeavor to dictate Catholic Church appointments. s An in teresting feature of the situa tion is that she Is Nick's aunt. We trust that no coolness be tween Eighteenth street nnd the White J louse has been caused. Hpeaker Csnnon's reluctance to re appoint Representative 8ma.ll, of tho lire! Norlh Carolina district, to the rivers and hiirbors'commlUee because of the fear that ho may extract a large amount of money from thy Treasury for big North Carolina pro jects Is reully quite complimentary to Mr. Hniall. f the first district mem ber did not posses plenty of energy and know-how, Mr. Cannon vvoull Dot be In the least afruld of him, eo peclally as he belongs to the minor ity. It should also bo said that In Mr. Cannon's eyes any appropriation for the Houth, his natlvo State Includ ed, Is too much. Sldo at the teachers' table, to super viae, in a general way four or five classes, and to perform an extraordi nary number of other duties. Hers I are the duties of a man's wife In his household multiplied. Slu stands in 1 loco parentis to the young Isdy i teachers drawn from 10 Htates from different parts of tho country At least 10 different standards of social con ventlonnlltles are represented. Mr, inoii illustrated mis fully. In some ; places It Is worth a young lady ,reputatl n to ildu with a man at night, and In others she may not at tend a theatre with a men wlthou I a t Impel one. It Is u p irt of Mrs, Winston s business to set a standard l)Olh to protect the young ladles from maltclnus tongues, and to keep sweet the name of the school. She nlmt edits the school paper. The . Deaf Carollniun. Moreover she glvoi religious instruction. She never has I been excused from the premises, ex cept upon the Imperative advice o physician. Touching -the -cut In talaries Mr Holt said. "We have been confronted Try actual conditions, not theories. Wo have deficit. The board thought a cut In salaries was 6n way ws could economise. Tho Nuperin- The siutemrnt of the Comptroller of lilt- Currency giving the condition of national banks on November 1.' shows that the number of these had Increased from fi,l(83 to 6,199.

ORAL AM1 MANUAL METHODS. But the interesting part of Prof. Holt's evidence was In regard to the oral and manual departments. That inenns the Instruction of deaf mute to read people's lips, and to speak In leply by mechanical mov ments of : t lie tongue und. on the other side, to teach them simply the sign language on the lingers. The oral teaching Is comparatively new and is wonderful "Our policy." raid he, speaking as a iiiembe'- of the board of directors, "M itit teach a child the oral method, if It H possible. 1 lime who for any reason cannot he taught to talk orally are transferred to the manual do partmi-nt nnd taught to talk by signs." o-ratifvinir lo He said thai he once thought oral- that official 'lHm H ,ra,,(1' m" ,r"" nv 1 arefnt study oi i ue suujcci auo oy seeing concreu peac - retultH of the oral training, ho hut been converted to that method and now thoroughly believes in It.

"The selection of teachers, officer and . employes, the oversight of th .Industrial department, to look out for all needed Improvements. There Is nothing on the premises from tho merest details on the farm to the de tails In the educational department of which he i does not h ive super vision. The board elects tegchera upon hi recommendation." This last function is regulated by Chapter 131, acts JQ3. There was a great deal of cross-examination about Mrs. Winston, all of which re suited lo her advantage. Mr. Holt said that the means of communication between the teachers and the boat- has never been Interrupted. The teachers, however, must file any comolalnta in writing and transmit them to tho board througn Mr. uoju win.

After dinner M. hoii recaueu ui Mr. Lewis. wTicn he was elected chairman of the board two years ago stated In chapel in the presence of the board and the teachers, that anv teacher had complaints to make, ah might make them directly to him as chairman. Witness aid not re member whether Mr. Goodwin was present at the time. This ended Mr Holt's testimony. BOARD AUDITED TH K BILLS. Mr Holding read several extracts from the minutes of the board, with the view to effect the contention of the complainant yesterday that Mr Goodwin audited und approved his own bills. The extracts bore the slg nature of A. C. Miller, cnatrman and the text recited the names of the directors in attendance. One of them was as follows: "The superintendent made a report showing an Itemized account of re ceipts and disbursements of tho con vention of American Instructors of the deaf as approved In the minutes same gone over and approved by the board. MR. MILLKK TESTIFIES. Mr. A. C. Miller, of Shelby, made an exceedingly fine witness. Honest the. sun, ro wsnlfentlyihad no dssira to evade any question put 10 fdim, nor had he anything to apologKe for or obscure. " "I have been on the board-of dl rectors," said he "10 years, excepf one term when It was a crime to be a Democrat. The Pops had the gov ernment then." Prof. Goodwin was not present at the Informal meeting 8 or 1! months before the nouse w begun, but when the question of Its erection avus mooted. Vhen he. first heard of the plan he doubted the wis dom, of It. Hi' was Instructed to use the help of trie boy here, the school's team, etc "I expect I had more to do with the remodeling of that house than any other one member of the board and I am willing to take the responst bllity for It. The house is tiptop; a first class building. It is finished on the inside with hardwood. Exclusive of the labor furnished here. I shonld say the state furnished xa.ouu or 14,- 000 on the house. My opinion, estl mating the value of the old house at 12,500. Is that the -present building cost $8,600. We wanted it to com pare with its beautiful surroundings. I think It was a good Investment and would vote the same way to-day. "Are you .here to beautify these grounds?" uxkod Mr. Whltener. "Partly, said Mr. Miller, "you ana are here to beautify this world." There was a great deal of laughter and applause at the answer and at the witness' emphatlo manner. It may be said here that Messrs. Self A Whltner sre swimming up stream against their audience, and are mak- ng a remarsably good, natured, gen tlemanly fight of It. Mr. Whitoner cored tho retort on Mr. Miller here. naldheadetl men." said he, "are us ually pretty successful at that." The witness and counsel are both bald-headed. "Weren't ou short on funds?" "Yes, we're always snort. Individ uals are often short. That doesn't' say we re unsuccessful' because wo ro hort." 'Didn't you go and ask the Legis lature for an additional appropria tion?" Yes, I went down there and Just begged tiiem. ( l4ugotr.) ' I have no apologies to make for' that building whatever. i . He explained that the vouchers are often signed by the steward, o. k'd. by the superintendent, and expressed to the , directors for their approval nnd signuturss, for the rea son that tne hourd meets only every 0 days ami meantime ' the school must have money to rdn itself with. Mr, Miller was ready with his answers and directly responsive, He was dellclously honest and business like. He certainly made a favorable Impression on the commissioners. FORMER DIRECTORS' QN STAND. Mr. li. L Held, of Asheville, and a former director, testified. "The super intendent nevor made a trip while 1 was chairman of the board wltoout notifying m when, where and for what he went He said he had been building houses for 4 years, and if he couldn't put the superintendent's house where It is for $1,000 he would give up 4iis reputation. The board wanted Mr. Ooodwln out of th main building, because he was raising a family rapidly. They had to get rid of him for the school's sake and his wif'st Mr. N. B. Hroughlon. of Raleigh, and a former director, was examined. He was a member whe the super It should have been. After a great deal of hesitation, its , said, "I -r have known Mr..
