In 1867, our English cousins were at least as
far forward in the matter of racing as we are
to-day. More than fifty years had elapsed
after this before the Epson races commenced
Then followed, In short time, the Ascot races,
established by the Duke of Cumberland, and
nearly half q century later the Doncaster race
course was founded by Colonel st. Log,r.
Those who have made themselves &C.
quainted only with the dark side of the picture
In racing will hardly believe that all classes of
Englishmen regard king, duke and colonel as
national benefactors for what they have thus
done for placing, In one form or other, those
delightful sports within the reach Of all. Such,
however, is really the case; for, fortunately, IL
is not merely the class who ride themselves,
whether on their own horses or those of their
neighbours, that derive pleasure from the con-
tests Of those fleet and beautiful animals, when
skilfully and gracefully ridden. Those who
never owned and never expect to own
horse-nay, those who would shrink from
riding one-oftcn vie with the most enthusi-
astic and most experienced sportsmcn in the
qualification and delight which they derive
from witnessing well-contested race. This
Is well illustrated by the scenes observed at
EPSON, fifteen miles from London, especially
at the race for the Derby stakes. This occurs
on Wednesday and if the weather is even
tolerable at least half million people, CON-
prising all classes, struggle with each other to
witness the sport OF the several stands on
the course there il 90 capable Of holding

correspondent from GAINESVILLE saws
the Democrats of Wisconsin don't like
the idea of having a Chicago man on
their ticket for Governor. We assure the
Democracy OF Wisconsin that the people
Of Chicago have no pride in the matter
1t Chicago is to be called upon to furnish
timbers for Governors for the several
States round abOut,sh can and will do It
with the most cheerful alacrity but it is
too bad to reject the magnificent m .terial
which abounds here to take up so
enthusiastically mean man as Doolittle is
everywhere acknowledged to be. When
a politician gets so low down in the DO
litcal and social scale as to leave an hon
orable and respectable association for the
purpose OF serving as tool, an apologist,
and follower of Andrew Johnson Chicago
has no pride in him and it cannot CON
graduate itself on the implied honor Of
his choice by the party of nelghboring
State for their Gubernatorial candidate.
Doolittle, OF Chicago, was accompanied
by Cowan, Dixon, and Norton in his dis
graceful treason to his past and his ONLY
honest principles. The ubscuritv into
which all of these men have fallen has
for the first time been disturbed by the
folly OF the Wisconsin Democracy folly
which promises to cost them dear. Wis.
consln honored Doolittle when he wore a
pleasant seeming mask, and lie was
thought to be man. Now that the veil
mas been torn away, single sight is
M"kanna enough for Chicago

A NEW DANGER To TAMMANY.-Tbe
movement of the German Democrats of
New York city is token of danger to
the thieves of Tammany Hall, more
alarming than anything else on the
political horizon The Germans of New
York have attached themselves to the
Democratic party as a refuge from the
lntolerant legislation which seeks to i'm
pose Sunday observance and total absti-
nence upon them. They have not shared
IN the plumber of the tax-payers,and they
have ever held in adherence the per-
version of justice which has covered the
Tammany Judges with infamy. They
poll 10000 votes in all city and State
elections. 1t rests with them at any
time to turn both city and State over to
the Republican party. So powerful an
element in the politics of the State is not
to be trifed With. If they demand in
the next Democratic State Convention
that Tweed, Hall, Connolly, and the
whole Ring be devoted to the internal
gods, the demand must be complied with.
1t is hardly to be expected that thew
will, in the first instance Join "a party
which enacts Sunday observance and
Jaws, UuC IL is quite likely
that they will open negotiations with the
Republican leaders, With7a view to
coalition for the purpose of smashing the
corrupt Ring in New York, if the Dem,
ocratic party of the State fail to put
Tammany to the sword. There will be
piping times when the Democratic State
Convention meets, and, since the Repub
llcans of New York have failed to unite
and reap the advantages offered to them
by the recent exposuresgof Tammany cor.
ruptions, this German movement seems to

SCHOOL GOVERN
MENT

In answer to Tax Payers inquiries on
this point we may say that many eminent
educators are opposed to the system
named, and in some instances urge
their objections with much force. On1
the other hand we find the State Super.
intendent, Gen. Fallows, the late State
Superintendent, A. J. Craig, and a form
er State superintendent, J. G.. McMynn,
advocating its general adoption. It is
safe to say that these gentlemen have
looked at the matter in all its bearings,
and their opinion must necessarily have
great weight The system has been
adopted and proved very satisfactory in
Massachusetts, and somewhat less so in
Iowa and Pennsylvania.
The objects of the system are to pro-
vide for good school in each district
(termed sub-district,) by removing the
management Of the school from local con-
troll. To provide for grading the schools
of the town, and where desirable to es-
tablish q central high school.
The following is an outline of the PLAN
The schools of the town are under the
management of Board of Directors com.
posed of as many men as there are sub
districts. Each sub-district elects a
Director and the Board of Directors elect
q Secretary who is virtually Town
Superintendent, but has nothing to do
with the examination Of teachers, the
work Of the County Superintendent re-
naming unchanged. The Board of
Directors hire teachers, furnish fuel, make
repairs, erect school houses, ETC., and the
expense is betrayed by the town. Child
ren are allowed to attend any school they
please whether in or out of the sub dis
trict in which they reside
The voters of a town at any annual
town meeting, may at their option adopt
the system, which when adopted must re,
main in force al least two years But few
towns in the State have adopted it, con
sequently there has been no practical
demonstrations Of its workings. The law
may be found in the school code of 1870
In concluding our answer TO Tax Pay
er's inquiries We must not tail to notice
his question about teachers institutes
This question reminds US Of the defense
made by an individual who was sued fol
damaging kettle while in his possession
He proved: first, that the kettle was
cracked when he borrowed it; second
that it was whole when he returned it
and finally, that he never had it. In like
manner we might show that the reason
people are taxed" to support institute
is that they derive the greater part o
the benefit themselves through the in
creased efficiency of teachers; and the1
that institutes are carried on at the ex
pense Of the teachers, the people not be
ing taxed at all.
The remaing questions propounded by
I. P. have been incidentally answered ir
this and preceding articles.
