The Superintendent alludes to the matter of
Teachers Institutes, and without directly re-
commencing them for State aid hints yery
strongly at the advantage which might be Oh
tanned In that way. He also says good word
for "The Normal" On the policy OF furnish
ing permanent employment to successful
teachers, the Superintendent dwells with great
and just emphasis. He takes up also the
question, how many pupils can be advanta-
geously instructed by a single teacher. The
actual average is found to be 43 in Pennsylva
MA, "a in Ohio and New York, and 25 In
Massachusetts. Mr.. Ballard fixes upon 30 as
prooabIy the best number. He lends the weight
OF his influence also to the movement in favor
OF a decimal system of weights and measures.
Out OF l2a,75e pupils registered, 81, 1927 have
been at school during the year. The perma-
nent school fund has been increased from sls1.

The Patry of Vengeance.

How far Vengeance, vengeance, ven>
geance " is the animating principle of
the Republican party may be seen in the
address which the Union Congressional
Committee has issued to the people of
the Southern States. This yindictive
document declares that the party wishes
such restoration of the Union as will
save us from future wars. 1t reyengefully
announces that the party will encourage
free speech, a free press and free schools
1t wickedly asserts that the recognition of
equal rights throughout the whole coun.
try secures peace, progress and prosperity,
and that it does not imply any hostility
Of races. 1t atrociously AYERS that the
laboring man, whether white or black,
needs the protection of the law and the
ballot, by which he secures equal laws
and just administration of them. This
incendiary manifesto urges that there
must be cooperation of races to obtain
the fair fruit of freedom for the Southern
States, and actually proclaims that the
exhausted and backward condition of
those States is due to the slave holding
aristocraoy which has controlled it for
two hundred years.
Not content with this, the address pro-
ceeds to fulfill the party policy of " Ven
geance, vengeance, vengeance" by earn
estly inviting and imploring the people
of the Southern States to accept univer,
sal suffrage, to establish public schools
and to enable the poor to become land
holders as fast as possible. Then with
bitter moekery the address anLoun ces
that Congress will exercise its authority
of restoring the States 3" fairly and gen,
erously" when they give the only evidence
which can be given that they are true to
the Union-namely, trustworthy major
tiles. This furious address, which, as
will be seen, breathes the very soul OF
hate and wrath, concludes by saying that
I" if the people of the States lately in re.
bellion shall cheerfully and in govd faith
reorganize their Governments upon the
laws passed by Congress, there will then
remain no causes of difference between
various sectionsof tho country"
If this does not show that the party
which conducted the war successfully,
which emancipated and eufranchised the
slaves, and which would rebuild the
Union upon justice and common sense,
is party of vengeance and hatc, we do
not believe it c,n be proved. Harper's
Weekly.

The Indian warfare.

The latest intelligence received from
Montana Territory Indicate that the peo-
pie there are making extensive prepara-
tions for an Indian war, which they evince
strong determination to push to the
point of determination. Acting Gov.
ernor Meagher has issued proclamation
calling for six hundred mounted men for
immediate service, which was eagerly
responded to, several companies having
been orsanized within few hours The
many Indian outrages upon white set.
tiers in the Gallatin Valley seem to be the
provocation for this movement. The
Indians are now threatening the destruc-
tion Of Virginia City and Helena
Intelligence from Fort Kearley states
that the Indian war has fairly commenced
on the Platte river, the savages burning
ranches, stealing stock, and daily muir
dering white settlers. A detachment of
troops, eucamped opposite Fort Selgwick
were expected to leave that place about
the first of the present month General
Custer, with his cavalry force, is now at
Fort Mcpherson
The Government has ordered addition
al troops to the frontier, and has de-
tached four companies of the 38th In
fantry, now doing duty at New Orleans,
and ordered them to Fort Harker Troops
from other quarters are being detached,
and ordered to General Shermans de-
partment in anticipation of general In.
dian war.

State Treasurer.

The re commentator of the Beaver
County Republican Convention, of Gens
w. w. Irwin for State Treasurer, meets
much favor elsewhere. The Harrisburg
Telegraph indorses him as follows -
" General Irwin is well known to the
people of the State as the efficient, inde-
fatigable and courteous Commissary Ge n.
eral of Pennsylvania during the war.
As Western man, he now looms up
powerfully in the contest for Treasurer,
and as Republican and fnancicr no
man in the State has superior claims or
larger ability for the position"

U. 8. Circuit Court I'm Raleigh.

Chief,Justlce Chase, at the opening Of
the United States Circuit Court at
Raleigh, gave formal explanation OF
the reasons why the Justices of the Su-
preme Court have till recently refused
to attend the Circuit Sessions. He held
that the highest officers of the Judiciary
could not properly have exercised their
functions under the control of the Exec.
utive Department, and could not issue
DEGREES which military order might null
ify. Under the present law he consid.
ers that the military power is used only
under the authority of Congress, and
does not extend to the United States
Courts
