COMMON SCHOOLS.

Universities, Academies, and Colleges, are
scattered all over the land. They are intel-
lectual fountains, where the spirit sips ami
tastes the hector and ambrosia, and grows
beautiful. This is all right and COOL. But be
It ever remembered that these literary and
scientific stream which flows over the moral
world, to purify and bless it, are made up I'd
a great extent, of the tributaries of Common
Schools.
Were 1t not for the public schools, education
would be confined to literary aristocracy.
The masses would grow up In ignorance, and
the nation suffer the curse of it in rebellious,
riOtous, ,law-brealSlng citizens.
Where else could the poor mans children
be educated? Children who very often grow
up to be the noblest of men and women; the
brightest in intellect-the purest in morals
the greatest benefactors of the race.
Let every one who has the welfare of the
nation at heart, look well to the condition OF
the Common Schools. It is well to give
"hOnOr to whom honor Is due;" and while
we give that respect to the Professor in High
Schools which his position justly entities
him, let us give. to the teacher of Common
Schools the honor which is due him, and see
and responsible position.

pleasantly shaded with green paper; theseats
nicely painted; and what is greatly to be
commended, the entrance to the house is
provided with plain and safe board steps.
The school for the past year has been under

The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-10-28

Liberal factions. He advised, seriously, that
no person should go into the street on Tues
day, or make any show of violence, and that
the whole onus of the violation of the con-
stitution, with its consequences, would thus
be thrown upon the Emperor and his sup
porters.
NJ. Hugo appears, however, to be itching
for fight, and longing for an outbreak at
the French capital that will inaugurate new
revolution. He objects to any violence now,
but he says significantly that when he does re-
commend an insurection he will be there
to take part in it, and the old mans heart
would leap to stand behind the barriers and
in the streets of Paris, and shout over the
prospective downfall of the empire. The
government of Louis Napoleon has undoubt-
edly been bad enough; but it is matter for
very serious consideration whether on the
whole it is not preferable to the liberty advo-
Gated by such men as Victor Hugo, Roche
ford, and Louis Blanc. Such hot-headed
enthusiasts as these have before now brought
more woe upon France than even the des-
potism of the Napoleons, and while it may
be safely said that the average Frenchman
does not know what liberty really means,
men of the Victor Hugo type are even further
from the mark in their ideal, and the utterly
impractical character of most of their schemes
is sufficient to make them objects of dread to
the maj iority of the nation.

VICTOR HUGO ON ZNsURRECT1oN

VICTOR HUGO ON LNSURREOTION
COMMON sense is a very essential quality, in
which the French Liberals have been particu
larly deficient, and the consequence is that
their schemes have come to naught again and
again, and those who ought to be their best
friends are more afraid of them than are
their enemies. The demonstration that it was
proposed to make in Paris ON Tuesday last,
on account of the arbitrary postponement of
the meeting of the Corps Legislatif, was
measure that could have resulted in nothing
but harm to the Liberal cause and in strength
ening the hands of the government. 1t is
not surprising therefore, that Victor Hugo
even, who has generally shown himself to be
one of the most impractical of the ire
concilables, should have been inspired
with little prudence; and from his want
age ground at Brussels, where he remains
as looker-on at the conflict raging
IN Paris, he threw the weight of his inhu-
ence in favor of order and abstinence from
violence on the part of the Liberals. In
his letter to M. l.. Jourdain, of the Steele, he
contends that such a demonstration as that of
the 120, 900 Fenians in Dublin, short time
ago, was an impossibility in Paris on account
Of a want Of accord between the different

The fact that the nation is now in posi-
tion to reduce its debt at the rate of more
than hundred million of dollars per annum,
and that further reductions Of the expendi-
lures will soon become practicable, will do
more than volumes of comment to silence the
clamor of repudiationists and to inspire uni
versal belief in the capacity as we'll as the
disposition of the American people to make
United States bonds the best securities in the
world.
