anil tt is itiiposMlile that tliPif aio

Mich go through the dtudgery (to them)

lneiit nnd udvaiiecmcut of the common
school nystcin, ho that it includes hut
j'uaKes and sciences, nnd tho abstract
principles of philosophy, as vt ell as tho
rudimcntal branches of education. Wo
hear no complaint theie of too much
taxation and liot-houso education for the
masses. If there is a prominent journal
iu Iloston that would restrict education
to tho primary principles wo tin not
hoar of it It seems to be the great
idea with all leading men and journals,
that education is tho s ifeguard of thu
Republic, that it will secure elevation
of character and honest and iudejiendent
action ou the part of thu masses, and
tho lcsult must bo purer morals, less
crime and better government.

ular education gives a people bettor
tiualitics as fighters us well as workers.
The grent improving Men of our country
is that the masses must ho educated. It
is true tho business may ho overdone iu
homo instances. There may bu some on
whom education will bo wasted, but it is
far inoio lihely that tho worst of thoso
who may bo ro classed, ato less stolid uud
depraved than they would lie without
tho influence nnd remembrance of hchool
associations, ami tho presence with them
nlways of the great truths of nature,
and thu education enjoyed in early years.
It is hardly possible that in any instance
education is wasted, whilo it is inevitably
truo that, only for our common schools,
many bright minds would bo unde
veloped nnd thu pall of ignoranco hang
over iutollccts that aro bom to illuiuino
tho world.
It is truo that occasionally tho world
has seen men rise from inferior stations
wiio havo acquired knowledge by hard
study, in thu intervals of sovcro manual
moor, aim navo given tlioir tellows
proof that with thu mero rudiments of
education at command a superior mind
can grasp great thoughts nnd mighty
problems and givo now truths to science.
It is not rational to suppose that if
Hugh Miller had been blessod with our
school facilities ho would not havo
achicvo.l more than ho did. Genius
does not thrive upon ignorance, hut is
developed by opportunity. Tho theory
with us is, that overy artisan nnd worker
should know thu truths of nature and
understand thy works of God. Theieis
impulses of our people, hut it is., incon
sistent with tho spirit of progicss, tho
lovo of education, nnd tho demand for u
popular school system thai will illumin

VETO OP THE ItESTUICTION SILL-
As might havo been expected, tho
Chinese l est ric tion hill has been vetoed
by Itutheifotd 1J. Hayes. TJio adminis
tration is fully chargeable with hypoc
lisy iu having given pretended sympa
thy to tho pcoplo of tho Pacific .States
and studied tho bill merely to lind somo
excuse for its ilcfmt. Tho President is
not forUumto in winning tho respect nnd
confidence of tho people, nnd it cannot
bo claimoel that his general courso meets
with approbation from any respectable
body of men or class of citizens. Ho
docs not echo tho tamo nnd illogical ar
guments of Eastern philanthropists, who
ignoro tho welfare of tho laboring
classes dependent on our own civiliza
tion but constitute a most important
element of it, ami favor instead an
immigration of cheap labor from hea
thendom that can add nothing to our
grcatiifis, while it must destroy tho in
dependence of tho hilxircrtiud tho dignity
of labor. Yet his message, with accus
tomed duplicity, is shaped to suit this
class nnd satisfy the wishes of sentimen
talists at tho Kast, rather than tho im
minent needs of the ulllicted States of
tho Pacific. Hayes intimates that his
objection to tho bill lies in its abrogation
of tho fifth mid sixth articles of tho
treaty, providing thnt immigration be
tween tho countries shall 1k voluntary,
and that citizens of either country visit
tho other "shall enjoy tho samo privi
leges, immunities or exemptions in re
spect to travel or lesidenco as may there
bo enjoyeel by tho citizens or subjects of
tho most favored nations."
Tho message has no strength, for
overvjhU.' Hayes does is weak and
mediocrcF Ho ignores tho unanimous
sentiment of tho Pacific States, and
leaves Republicanism hero to take its
chances. So far as possible, ho has
killed tho National llepublican party,
only, fortunately, ho has not much power
to kill or mnko alive. For pusillanim
ity, this administration will in history
outlive Its day nnd bo a wonder of time.
Tho work will go ou. Tho Chinese must
go, or nt least they must not come hero
in unlimited numbers to crowd honest
labor to tho wall. Cheap labor is a ele
lttsion when it takes bread from tho
mouths of our laboring classes. Hayes
will yet havo to sign n bill restricting
Chineso immigration, for the matter will
assumo shape and pioportions thnt ho
will not dare to trillo with. Portland
