From Paris.

Latest advices from Paris seem to
show that the end of the mad insur-
rcctiOn Is approaching. a reign of
terror prevails in the city. Many
eminent persons are arrested and inn
prisoncd rs hostages, and some of
them have been already named for
execution. Seventy one members of
the Commune nolonger attend It's sit
tings. Crowds of people are all the
time trying to escape from The city,
butare restcdand detained. Roche
fort, While toying to escape, was ar
rested by the Governmenttroolis and
| brought to- Versailles. The Conf
munists have been despoiling the
Paris churches, and melting up their
silver ornaments. One night last
week they arrested Il party If l5O
men and women TIA restaurant, ,Cbarg-
ing them with upscemly luxury and
extravaganza. Among them were
several officers Of the Communeitsclf.
There was an immense explosion
ofa magazine Of cartridges in the city
on the night of the 18th, by which
from 200 to GC0 persons were killed,
most of whom were women: and a
vast amount Of property was de-
stroyed. Some citizens were accused
of causing the explosion, and, at last
word, were to he executed. There
was n great battle between the isnr-
gents aud the Government troops
last Friday afiernooD-says one spe-
cial-and 20, 900 troops were engaged
IN it, but there " as no decisive result.
There arc reports lately that the
Government had asked the Prussians
TO help it subduc the Insurgents, and
that the PruSsians would do So; but
the reports are cOntradicled.- 1t APP
pears now, much more than former
~, that the French people generally
support the Provisional Govern
ment, and that the Paris Commune
will soon be conqured, and peace
restored.

The school system.

The iotdte Press of Iowa City has a
lengthy article showing up some OF
the known defects in the practical
workings of our School System, and
alleges that the fault lies in the sys-
TEN Itself We are not prepared to
subscribe TO the view it holds in the
following paragraph, but present ii
merely for Reconsideration Of Teach

would like to hear further upon the
subject. The Press says:
"The contract system sho,tid be Gbol-
isL.ed, teaching SHOULD be made II pro-
.tessioa and put upon the same basiS
as the other professions, and the
problem Il solved. The attorney is
examined once for admission 70 the

only. We build court houses IN
which lawyers practice their pro.ts-

their clients. We then certainly
should build schoCrhouses in which
teachers may practice their profess

THE low VOTER
A. r. Sperry, Editor.


AS the time is drawing near for
our County Mass Convention, readers
will naturally look for some state
nlent as to the various candidates for
State offices. Some weeks ago there
was much newspaper talk about can
didates, all over the State; but lately,
upon running over our exchanges to
see what the current comments were,
it seemed that the talk had dwindled
down ama2jngly-perhaps because
the day is 50 near which will settle
the matter.
For Governor, so far as we can now
see, the choice seems to lie between
Maj.OConnor, the present Attorney
General, Col. G. c. Carpenter of Ft,
Dodge, and Ron. John Scott of Story
County; and the best available infor-
mation leads Us to the willing belief
that the gallant Maj. O'Connor has
the stars in his favor.
For Lieut.. Governor, so far as we
can see, the candidates mot promi-
nent lately are, Col. Garrett Of New
tol, Hon. G. G.. Bennett of Washing
toal, and Col. KeatIey Of Council
Bluffs. Necessarily, however, we
can see only a part Of the State; and

Lieut.. Governor, is spoken of somes
what for the succession.
For Judge of Supreme Court thSfe
will, we suppose, be no opposition to
Judge Day, Of Fremont Co., present
Chief Justice.
For Superintendent of Public In
struction there is likely to be some
contest. Mr.. Kissell, present incum-
bent, is in the field for renomination;
but there seems to be a good deal of
opposition to him, from various
alleged causes, the justice of which
we have no means of knowing. Prof.
Hamill, Principal of the Grandview
Academy in Louisa County, Colonel
Alonzo Abernethy, President of the
Baptist University at Des Moines;
and Prof. G. r. Carpenter, of the
Christian College at Oskaloosa, are
among the candidates i'm the field.
Prof. Allen, of Cedar Falls, declares
that he is not a candidate, notwith.
standing all that is said about him.
Who has the best chance for the
nomination is question that some
wiser man than we might answer.
OF course, rs anybody can see, there
is time yet for many changes of the
political slate before the Convention
comes. New men may be named,
or names already mentioned may
assume different relative impor-
tance. Marion County, we suppose,
will enter the Convention pledged to
no special candidates, but prepared
to make the wisest choice from the
names then presented. It's blessed
consolation to feel assured that VIC
are in no danger Of getting poor
State officer now anyhow.
