The result of the recent elections in the
several States, this Autumn have not, thus
far been desirable nor encouraging. We
say this. not because we wish the Republi-
can party had everywhere been defeated
nor because the Democrats have shown
more strength or made greater gains than
heretofore-nor because Republican prin-
ciples are not as strongly held by the Amer
lean people now as at any former time. but
because OF the Indifference and apathy
witch prevail among the dominant party.
The truth is, that it has become negligent.

opposition worthy the name, it lives on.

principles Of the Republican party. The

lies in its strength Ill advised mea

best interests Of the party and the public.
We deprecate therefore the transient sue

iniuse new life into the gasping body OF
Democracy aud prolong its days. -Four
times have the people passed upon /: as a
thing Of loathing, and now shouts of tri-
umph are again heard over its resurrection.
We could have borne defeat from any new
sound and healthy party organization

party more watchful and more faithful I,

ton:
The mission of our public schools is To
make men wiser and better, and though
they have already done much still much re-
mains undone. Though the schools are
much better than they were twenty years
ago. still they are not perfect, and il is our
duty. not only to desire their improvement
but to work to secure it. We think it i'm
portant that we should attend political con-
Ventions and religious conventions but the
cause of education is OF more importance
than either For intelligence is a perqui-
lie to either. Ignorance develops super
stitIon rather than religion. and bondage
to party rather than love for pure political
principles.
How can any man who is willing to give
day to benefit society. better spend it
than by meeting with others 10 discuss such
questions as, How can We improve our
public schools: Should the free high
school law be repealed? and many other
questions which might be mentioned. But
for such convention to be profitable there
must be full attendance. VIII the friends
of our public schools let US know through
YOUR columns who will be there: Will
Surry, Ellsworth, Hancock. Franklin. Sui
Ivan. Trenton. Eden. Mt. Desert. Ire
mont, Cranberry Isles and other towns be
represented there.
Friends let Us hear from you. and if the
prospect is good let rs have convention
to which all friends OF education are cor
daily invited. i. L. GRINpLE.
