will begin Wednesday, September 1t is
earnestly desired that all who expect to at
tend will be present on the first day, that
theyimay be then properly classified. Pa
rents neglect this important matter great
ly, in fact but few of them realize the great
advantage it is to their children to be pres
ent and start even with their classes. If
not, the student cannot take his place in
the class to which he would be assigned
without proving detriment and drag to
the whole class, and if placed in one of
lower grade he is too far advanced and
therefore does not derive the instruction
he would in his proper place.

The Herald, to-day, has a special dispatch
from Washington saying that the failure Of the
Treaty Of Washington. 80 far as it relates to the
settlement Of the Alabama claims is at last con-
oedsd by the President. Minister Schenck was
instructed that the United States had neither
any suggestions to offer nor entertain. On the
receipt OF schencks dispatch with the note of
Earl Granville as to the manner in which
the business of the arbitration should be
disposed OF on the 18th inst. Mr..
Fish called on the President and asked
for advice. The President said that he had all
along hoped that the diplomatic correspondence
would remove the pretended obstacles to a sat
isfactory solution Of the difficulty at Geneva, but
il the British Government was determined TO
doubt the sincerity OF our declaration regarding
the claims for indirect damages, he knew Of but
one course to pursue and that was to meet the
pretensions Of the British Government in their
own language. Accordingly Mr.. Fish yester-
dag instructed General Schenck to abandon the
arbitration.

EditsriaI Extracts From the Great DaHiss
THE EIoHT HOUR PARADE.

THE EIoHT HOUR PARADE.
fFrom the N. Y. Heradl
It would be a great mistake 70 imagine that
the mass Of the workingman do not sympathiee
in the movement because they we're absent from
the procession. Many Of the powerful trade or
CARNATIONS came TO the conclusion that parade
in force might be misinterpreted by the public,
and declined to take part in it for that reason
Other societies, at work under tho eight hour
system, thought the members would be better
at work than making useless parade, and IN
coming to this decision they showed their good
sense They can better help the movement by
supplying funds to maintain their comrades who
are locked out than by wasting their time para
ding ia the streets. When these various draw
backs are considered the comparative weakness
in point Of numbers Of the eight hour demon
stration is explained.
GREELEY THE DEMocRAcY's ONLY HOPE.
From the N. 7. Herald.l
The nomination or endorsement Of Horace
Greeley at Baltimore promises the only hope OF
= future to the democracy. As we have said
the election Of General Grant is a moral certain
ty, and hence such action would not be followed
by present success, but it would lay the founda-
tion Of powerful party, extending all over the
Union, embracing within its lines voters OF all
nAtionalites and Of all complexions and well
assured Of long lease Of power after the Re
publicans shall have lost the strength Of General
Grants name and prestige as their leader. 1t 10
idle to think talk Of the adoption Of any other
candidate.
GREELEY DIVIDES TIE DEMOCRACY.
tFron the N. Y. World
Grant can only be beaten by a candidate who
can unite the opposition vote. II Mr.. Greeley
were indorsed at Baltimore he would divide the
opposition vote. Why should any Democrats
advocate q course that would inevitable lead to
division and defeati Why rather should they
not labor to secure the nomination Of candl-
date whom the entire opposition would be VIII

TO AMATEUR oARsSfEN-DoN'T
lFrom the N. Y. world.l
The advice OF Punch to young persons about
to marry may be adopted by athletic persons
anxious to go to England and row races to theiI
| own great profit, for it is now made tolerably
manifest that the American amateur who goes
| to England and his money are soon parted. But
observe it is only to amateur rowing that this
advice applies. The English crews which came
out here last year were undoubtedly ths pick Of
all England. Even after Renforths death il
would have been very hard, il not altogether
/ hopeless, to collect a crew from the oarsmen re-
naming in England which could not have beaten
either one Of them. They came here and the
Wards beat both Of them, not with ease Ger
tainly but fairly and clearly.
