waters gush forth in a never ceasing
stream, bringing with it civilization,
progress and love, whose cultivation is
worthy the highest efforts of the human
mind and whose fruits bring "peace on
earth and good will to men, This is
the fountain from which we have been
drinking and looking over the past
months Of school, it only encourages us
to drink the deeper of its life-giving
waters and eat of its luscious fruits.
Our school seems to be especially ia
vored, deaths icy hand has been laid
Tut lightly upon it, and in the past
year but one of our number has been
called away; just when he was looking
forward with joyful anticipations of al
merry christmas, the angel-message
called him home to spend never end
ing christmas by the side of his Savior.
No strife or contention has disturbed
the harmony Of our school, each term
has increased rather than diminished
our respect and confidence for our
teachers; each month we find fresh
cause to thank our excellent school
board for their untiring efforts in striv-
ing to make our school more pleasant
and attractive, each day only binds our
hearts closer in the bonds of friendship
and love.

THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES,

Il is but natural that the movements of
our presidential candidates, and what they
do and say, aud what is said Of them Jy
political friends and foes. should at
tract great attention at this time. We
are now very near the time allotted by
law for making choice of a President to
preside over the destinies of the greatest
nation, at this time, on the Western con-
tinent, and which, in course Of time, bids
fair To become the most powerful and pros
porous on the face Of the earth In little
more than month the voting population
Of the United States, REPRESENTING forty
Millions of people, will be called upon to
peacefully determine who shall be Presi-
dent for the next four years, commencing
on the fourth of March, 1878. The ballot
will then determine in this republican
country what the bullet is required to 40
III governments where the sovereign power
is inherited and belongs to the person Of
the ruler rather than the body Of the peo-
pie. In what are called hereditary gov
ernments the ruler. is strong and the people
correspondingty weak, because they are
not recognized as the sovereign power; are
not clothed with the lawful, peaceful
means Of changing the head Of the
Governments II those countries the
power Of tie monarch is hedgad
is SO thoroughly on every side that
nothing bat violent revolution can disturb
him: and the chances Of successful reyolu-
ton by war butpoor indeed. In countries
where the hereditary form Of govern
mont prevails The government is made !
strong, rot for the enforcement Of equal
rights among the people, but for the
protection % the sovereign. It is made
strong against tie interest Of The great
body of The people. And as a good deal
has been said about a strong government
in this country, it is well enough to saw
something more about it Just now when
presidential candidates are before the peo-
be for their suffrage. We hold, with MIR.
Jefferson, that republican government
deserves to be the strongest government
il the world. It should be made strong

Gates may warrant, specifying in their bids
| the amounts proposed for exchange, anC
| percentage or premiums offered; and all
! bidders shall be entitled to be present at the
time and place designated for the opening
| of bids; said bids to be made in writing, un

board Of school directors, and irdorsed
proposals for exchange of certificates o.
| Indebtedness" provided, that when two OF
more bids are made at the same rate the
| largest amount offered shall have prece
| dence, then the next largest, ETC..
The first resolution will have the effect
Of taking teachers certificates from the
list of deprecated issues which are now
used for paying taxes. Hence there will
be no demand for them at any price until
there is such an accumulation Of funds in
the hands of the treasurer as to justify
an offer to redeem a portion Of those out
standing. The taxpayer, instead of be-
ing able to pay his school tax at the rate
of sixty-fye cents on the dollar, will be
required to come up with the full amount
in cash. And as these payments will be
relatively more burdensome than they are
now, there will be corresponding reluc-
tance and delinquency Disbursements
will be slower even than heretofore unless
some way can be devised to stimulate the
debtors to the school fund to be more
lively in the discharge Of their obligations,
The second resolution virtually provides
that the discount on certificates suffered
by the holders, and which now goes part
ly to brokers and partly to the taxpayers.
who buy them at low rate and pay them
into the treasury at par, shall inure to the
benefit of the,schools, for the purchase of
maps, apparatus, etc. So long as there is
an unavoidable necessity for imposing this
loss upon the teachers, it is better that it
should go to, the benefit Of the educational
system. To permit the taxpayer, whose
delinquency has created the necessity of
drawing these drafts upon the future, to
buy them up at ruinous reduction and
use them at par, enables him to take ad-
vantage Of his own wrong, which is repro
bated by good Aorals. Such regulation
is neither wise nor honest, and must
eventually result in disaster and loss. The
forced tax upon the teachers is an outrage
which high-toned, honorable community
should be ashamed to perpetrate upon
those who are powerless to protect them
selves, Yet, SO long as taxpayers are IN
mindful of their duties, and the evil is
abroad, it becomes the duty of those who
have yet some voice in the matter to
utilize the loss for the best advantage of
the great interests they have in charge.
The other provisions merely prescribe de-
tails for carrying oat the plans embraced
IN the first two. It is impossible to dis
count the effect which the adoption Of
General Longstreet's plan will have upon
the financial question under consideration.
Probably, az firsS, teachers certificates will
faI! still lower than they now are, but as
they begin TO be absorbed by the raaemp-
,on process they will naturally appreciate
in value.

nation, it is an act of folly to engage in
any attempt to form Reorganization out
side Of these two contending forces.
The Reformers convict themselves of
stupidity by their professions and prac-
tees. If they have constituency that
justifes them in aspiring to control the city,
where is the necessity that drives them into
a separate convention? With the force
which they pretend to represent why do
| they not enter into the Democrat camp, or
into the Republican party, and direct it's
movements? We are willing to give them
place and a voice in our counseIs, and if
their strength is such as to give them the
city it is certainly great enough to give
them potential influence in directing the
Republicans how to make nominations.
The truth is the majority of the Re
formers area very indiscreet set of citizens.
They misapply their strength, some of
them doing so from the best of motives, as
We are free to confess. They think they
understand how the city and State should
be administered, and they imagine they
could do it better than those who are
doing it. Perhaps they are right, and
then again they may be wrong. At any
event, they would be denounced as fail
ures if they were to succeed in being
elected. But they commence wrong. In
stead Of affliating with and improving
existing parties, they set about creating
new one, which is just double work, since
it is just as difficult to build party as it
is to make it successful The true policy
of every good soldier is to fight within the
lines, where he can be of service in driving
forward the weak, watching the suspicious
and knowing what to do. We recommend
the Reformers to study this suggestion.
They can help Us to elect good men, and,
if that is their purpose, we shall expect
them to do it.

PREMATURE POLITICAL N0VEMBNTS.
The Independent Republicans bear the
same relation to the regular Republican
party that the Reformers do to the Democ-
racy. Each faction is dissatisfied, and
not without cause with the course pur-
sued by their former political friends, and
each acts upon lie plan Of attempting to
control the greater body by the lesser.
This is an error in politics, no less than
in military operations When a COM
munity is divided into two great parties Of
nearly equal strength, one or the 0they of
these will dominate. and all outlets must
necessarily drain and weaken one or the
othero We conceive It 80 Je the duty of
all good citizens to exercise what influence
they may possess in sacb s way an! at
such times and places. as are best eaIcu-
lated to be :elt. An! action not in co.
operations with the regular Democratic or
Republican parties, IS properly hostile to
the inteyests OF both. Therefore the Lib,
egai Republicans are working against the
sogDlar Republicans. as are the Reformegs
against the Democrats. Probably they
