General Grant does not represent any ideas or princi ples which could-rally around him a "personal following, unless it be one of prospective spoils. Those who have be6n. fighting his political battles are not engaged in a struggle'to secure the recog nition of apy principle that is dis puted by any considerable number of American citizens. The name chosen for themselves bv the "30G" is suggestive of the devotion of a body guard to the personal fort unes of a commander, no matter what he is doing. Tho course those men followed at the Chicago con vention was like that of an artnv- trvinir tn flifpnr. hq pnnmipc tliA ' i. ,.f fo.. .4ti, -1 ut.wijiu &3iib iv v.uiiti.1 iuj:i.iutii .xj to what was best for the Republi can party. Their doings were conscienceless; they sought by a perverted firmness that was a sort of stubborness to coerce the ma jority into a surrender, and nomi nate one who was not the choice of the great body of Republicans. The movement for the third term has never been anything but a personal one, aud the mere fact that tho political cliques which have, the least hold upon the good will of the people, are its strongest advocatesancb are now working for it as hard as they can, increas es thd fearsfelt for the future. Not an empire in name, but one in fact, is exactly what they seem to bo'laboring for. The third term movement has been imperial in its nature, and though once crushed, has received a new leabc of life on account of the act.of an assassin. It is a question that .will arouse and engross public interest; and one that should be once more and emphatically settled in the negative, forever. Mismanagement. Considerable comment is mado upon the tendency in public schools to ignore the needs of the many. Tho "mismanagement" of the public school system is a growing evil all over tho country. There exists -a class of educators who , havo succeeded, in some quarters, in attaching a stigma to the man who ventures to insist upon mak ing the primary departments the paramount feature of our public school system. These educators have become exceedingly insolent, and have obtained control of School Boards to such an extent that they have succeeded in work mS a great deal of mischief. The larger portion of the pupils of our public schools Jiave to leave school and go to work at an early age. It is manifestly important, .there fore, that the primary course should be as thorough as possible, and that there should be no lack of school room for the younger scholars. The present tendency, however, is to spend the most of tho money on the higher educa tion and oil the select course, to the neglect of the primary depart ments. There are just anil proper limits to the expenditure of funds for the public schools. The right to tax. only extends to public uses, and the State has no right to use the public money for the advant age of a select group of persons. Elementary education is a neccss- 'ity; therefore taxation for that purpose is .clearly right. - '1 The Pardon' -r , - 'S Power. The allege' by tho Go d remaik once mado lina to - pernor of North Caro- Catc the Governor of South V ,iina, has passed into history. i hat tho probable nature of the I remark would be, were tho Govor 0C ' nor of New York to address the Governor of Oregon concerning the pardoning power, is problem atical. It would at any rato be a where "extremes meet.' Governor Cornell, of New York, is being criticised for abusing the pardoning power by not exercising it. It is charged against that hard hearted executive that he is so anxious to have a clean lecord in the matter of pardoning that he refuses pardons in all cases with out reference to the particular merits of individual petitions. In his message he says: "Considerable reflection has enforced the belief that the par doning power was not intmsted to tho Executive for the purpose of interfering with or arresting the operations of the law, cither from motives or favoritism or of pity. Should such considerations control it would be difficult to put a bound to clemency, and the piison doors might constantly stand open." :Tis sometimes well to err on mercy's side, but in the matter of pardons the sterner demands of justice are paramount. Can't Understand If. It would seem as though the white man's civilization is a little too complicated for the simple minded red man to grasp, even with a considerable cxpendituie of time and such mental powers as he possesses. His difficulties arc increahe.d by the fact that he comes in contact with the two extremes of -the white man's civilization; the missionary comes and teaches him the gospel, and he naturally concludes that that is the light by which the white man guides his steps;" aud then the cowboy and tho miner', and the Indian agent, and the soldier aud the pioneer, who goes west strong in the faith that no man " except those of his own complexion have any rights, come, anil he finds that it isn't so. This tends to confuse the red man. He gets the idea that the white man is a benevolent being who goes around seeking what good he can do to the benighted red man, and then he finds out that the majority of white men that he meets will take anything that isn't nailed down, seek only their own enrichment without scruple, and break treaties with facility when they want the Indian's reservation. "They be came dccidedl' mixed up as to what is the white man's secret of success, and what they should do to put themselves in the white man's way to prosperity. If the red man fights he gets the army after him and is exterminated; if he accepts civilization and attempts to earn his own living, the Indian bureau takes advantage of his peaceable disposition to turn him out, transport him to some locality to which lie has au aversion, and use his lands in buying off some tribe that insists on wearing blank ets, keeping guns, and going on the war path every year as soon as the grass is long enough to af ford subsistence to the ponies. All this is commonplace to the white man, but in the bosom of the untutored savage it excites surprise. Urox investigation a compari son of prices of the leading neces saries of life shows that an amount of food which could be bought for $C2,oS three years ago would now cost S8; an amount of cloth ing which -could then have been bought for 27.57 would now cost 33.42. The average of food, clothing, iron lumber, and other necessities, in the proportion or dinarily entering into daily con sumption, which would havo cost $125.07 in 1S78 would now cost 105.13, an. increase of about 35 per cent.
