TO THE ELECTORS AND RATEPAYERS OF MARYLEBONE.
GENTLEMEN,—I present myself as a Candidate
for Election to the London School Board as one of the
Representatives of Marylebone. I have incessantly and actively
advocated a system of National Unsectarian Education. For
twenty years I have studied the wants, the claims, the rights of
the people ; and have all that time been iii the habit of expres-
sing any opinions, as a public journalist, on the questions which
have arisen affecting their moral and material well-being.
I have been led to believe that my humble services to the pub-
lic cause will recommend me to the place of honour I seek at the
new Education Council.

I reWes7eanc;Tci:i:o party, no clique, and am not specially
supported by any organisation. I base my candidature broadly
on my known participation in the political progresses of the last
twenty years, of which the Elementary Education Bill of 1870 is
the most important.

Trusting to be favoured with your support on the day of
election,

I remain, Gentlemen,
Yours, faithfully,
BLANCHARD JERROLD

IS PEACE POSSIBLE ?

Professor Max Miller writes an admirable letter
to the Times to express his conviction that peace
may be brought about, and that England possesses
sufficient influence with one or both of the belli-
gerents to induce them to accept terms of peace. He
has no hesitation in saying that the voice of England has
not lost its weight with the better portion of the
German people. "If England would but speak the lan.
guage of a friend, free from lofty airs and magisterial
accents, she would herself be surprised at the effect she
might produce." With respect to France it is more
difficult to speak, but if there is one friend
to, whom France would listen in her time
of trouble, it is England. Professor Max Muller thinks
that the losses of Germany can never be recompensed
otherwise than by territory. Nor does he consider it
hopeless that France may be induced to see this. " The
actual expenses of the war may be reimbursed in kind,
but to suppose that the lives of thousands of soldiers
could be valued at so much a head would be
to carry us back into the darkest ages of barbarism.
If England would but speak to France as a friend
to a friend, and as the defender of those eternal principles
of justice which must regulate the conduct of nations as
well as of individuals, France would be the first to admit
that for the war, which M. Jules Favre has boldly de-
nounced as a crime she owes a heavier guerdon than mere
money." The writer then proceeds to deny that the
Germans are actuated by a desire for conquest. They
abhor the idea of annexing any but German territory, and
though always animated by a desire to regain Alsace and
Lorraine they would not wage an aggressive war for that
object. But there must be a real peace. " Think only of
what has happened France attacks Germany with the
avowed purpose of annexing German soil. The French
army is beaten back, and the German army, in pur-
suing the enemy, finds itself in actual possession of
Alsace and Lorraine. The sacrifices have been terrible ;
there is hardly a family from the Vistula to the Rhine
that is not in mourning. 'My only son, "my husband,'
' our father,' `my four sons,' such are the headings that
rivet our eyes when reading the notices of deaths in Ger-
man newspapers. Think how every heart in England
quivered when the news arrived that three young English-
men had been killed by Greek brigands ; ultiply that feeling
by hundreds and thousands, and you may then form an
idea of the sorrow and the fury that pervades the country,
It is a mercy that there have been no German reverses.
and that the atrocities of former French invasions have
not been repeated. It is a mercy that the feeling of
revenge does not exist in the German army. But
on one point all Germans are agreed, that, as
far as in them lies, such a war must not
occur again. The objection that the inhabitants
of Alsace and Lorraine are devoted to France is not
regarded as insuperable by Professor Max Miller. He
concludes : "It has become the fashion of late to preach
on French frivolity and immorality as pervading the
whole country ; but those who know France best
know that it is not so. No doubt the upper classes
have paraded their extravagance and their vices be-
fore the eyes of the world in France more than they
would dare do in other countries ; but the middle classes
are sound and safe, and there is among the lower classes
less drunkenness and brutality than elsewhere. The con-
stantly accumulating wealth of France is the best proof
of the industry and frugality of the nation, and but for
this fatal war France would soon have been the queen
among the nations of Europe. What has been may
be again, and in the peaceful but far more
honourable contests for superiority in manufactures, in
art, in learning, and literature, France will soon prove
again a match, and more than a match for England and
Germany. If men of the stamp of M. Arles Dufour
would but boldly step forward and appeal to the French
people we should soon have peace. Germany desires peace,
and though there are parties in Germany who
insist on the whole of Alsace and Lorraine, there
are others who object to any annexation. Count Bis-
marck seems to have taken his stand between both
extremes. He is too good a statesman to imagine that
the annexation of disaffected provinces is any addition to
the strength of Germany, but he is too good a patriot to
leave the western frontier of the Empire any longer
exposed as it has been."

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

Instances of insubordination amonc, British soldiers in
India have become so common that Lord Napier of
Magdala has written a severe rebuke which he has
ordered to be read at the head of every regi-
ment, troop, company and detachment of British
troops in Bengal. In 1869 there were 293 con-
victions of insubordination in I3engal, and. 214 up to
September in the present year. Most of these crimes
have been accompanied with violence against
commissioned or non-commissioned officers, and some
recent cases have been of a very aggravated character.
In the case originating these remarks from the
Commander-in-Chief, a private named Watson, in the
60th Rifles, was found guilty of knocking his sergeant
over the head with the butt end of his rifle on
parade, and afterwards attempting to run him through
with a sword bayonet. He was sentenced to penal
servitude for life, and Lord Napier of Magdala regrets
the court (lid not take the strong view of the crime which
he takes, implying evidently that in his opinion the pun-
ishment should have been death.

VISITATION OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK.—
His Grace the Archbishop of York commenced his visita-
tion at St. Michael's Church, Mahon, on Monday, and
delivered a lengthy charge to the clergy of the arch-
deaconry of Cleveland. He referred to the gratifying
work of churchbuilding in Sheffield, Hull, Middles-
borough, &c., and urged increased energy in Middles-
borough in particular, which wanted stirring up to that
liberality from which churches were built. Confirma-
tions were a fair test of progress in the diocese.
In 1863 he held twenty-nine confirmations ; this year
48. He exhorted the clergy to pay greater diligence to
this important rite. In 1863 the candidates were 3,963 ;
the average of three years ending 1869 was 5,161. It
was his wish and intention to divide the diocese into
two instead of into three parts, so that every, parish
might have its confirmation once in two years. There
were parishes where the law did not yet enforce two
services on a Sunday. There was much to regret on this
head. In 120 parishes also no collections had been made
foi foreign missions during the year. A parish association
for missions should be everywhere formed to assist one
another of the great associations for this purpose. The
abolition of compulsory church rates had not had any
marked effect. A diocesan fund might become necessary
with a hostile landlord or a poor people, but they should
not abandon the rate where it could be got, for it was not
legal to let pews in churches instead of church rates. Edu-
cation had up to the last session been mainly in the hands of
the clergy, and the new measure had no hostile spirit to reli-
gious education on the whole. The chief danger was that
those chosen on Boardsshould be men unacquainted with
education. The clergy must exert themselves, and not
let the Boards be left to local politicians, or to economists
found to put down the rates. Every clergyman should
address himself to the condition of the school in his own
parish, and, if necessary, obtain a site and a Government
grant before the end of the present year. They should
regard the present state of the law not as a defeat, but as
an incentive to be up and doing.
