there is a promo of. the-object of
jie -aOraUcJP ? and soaie moUo
about The 0dguard.-. jf the old
soiaierVjjo fought witli Grant
should prepare such a device, it
WOO Id be in excellent taste and
70ul3 command admiration, but
, uride'r the present circumstances,
this exhibition of strained devo
tion to an individual is in bad
taste, and is a significant and un
pleasant sign of possible danger in
the iuture. 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-

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.
