There is disposition in some cases to criti-
else some of the best features of the school
system, which happen to be novel. In re-
viewing some aspects of taxation in Gibson
county, which have bad look, the Prince
ton Democrat takes occasion to arraign the
County Board for allowing teachers their
wages when attending the monthly town
ship institutes. 1t calculates on 10S teachers
in the county, attending six institutes in the
school year, allowing them two dollars
per day each. The aggregate sum paid
to teachers while in attendance on
institutes would be s1,296. The Democrat
assumes that this money should not be so
expended to aid in qualifyingthe teachers for
good work, advancing the somewhat plausi-
BILE argument that if the teachers are not
qualified, they should not be employed. 1t
is a very narrow and one sided view. The
money paid in thisTay is, without doubt, the
best investment possible. Teachers are
never so advanced in their profession that
they cannot improve by drawing upon the
knowledge and experience of others. No
teacher becomes so well qualified that at
tendance upon a good institute will not
make him worth 81 90 more intrinsically
to his employers than he was before. 1t is
not altogether in the addition to knowledge
that the value of these meetings of teachers
consists. The quickening of ambition and
zeal, the waking up of vigor by contact with
the profession is worth twice the cost, even
if little really new is learned. This for the
well qualified teacher. But it is a fact that a
full supply of that kind cannot be
had. They are scarce. The schools
must be taught, and teachers have to
be accepted, who, though qualified in a
certain sense, and to degree, may be made
a great deal better by an occasional day
spent in consultation with other teachers.
This is the case with young teachers, for be-
ginners in the business must be employed.
To assume, therefore, that those should or
could be found who are masters of this most
difficult work, is an error. Everything
which can be done to improve the teachers
efficiency is saving of money which
is wasted in proportion as he falls short
of the best work. Institutes are an exceed
ingly economical way of giving new i'm
pulse to all the schools of a county, OF arous-
ing enthusiasm and infusing vitality. The
State has deemed 1t wise to build and sup

Gov. Harvey, the newly elected Senator
from Kansas, declares himself unequivocal-
ly, an Independent. His success was brought
about by a combination of the decent Re-
pubicans with the liberals and demo-
Gratis. Gov. Booth will have company in

a man of the same kind to succeed the par

A resolution was introduced day or two
ago in Congress providing for an official en-
quiry into the condition of those colleges
and universities which have received aid
from Congress under the Morrill, Education
Act; better known as the Agricultural Col
lege Act of 1862. The resolution Is simply
the embodiment in practical form of a
sentiment in Congress (which has been
gradually coming to the surface, strongly
tinged with distrust against the
agricultural colleges. The prevailing feeling
of other institutions towards the former, and
notably the open expressions Of such men as
DIR. McCesh of Princeton and Dr. Eliot OF
Harvard, have not encouraged tendency
to allay this distrust. There is certainly a
very general prejudice stin remaining
against the very attempt to establish these
industrial and chronological schools,
which is largely intensified by the
manifest failure of some Of the first efforts to
realize the conception of the act which gave
them an existence. What the result of the
proposed enquiry may be cannot be predict

The decision Of the Senatorial caucus on
the Louisiana business, let's daylight upon
the motives Of the gentlemen who have up
held the Pinchpack, Kellogg robbers all
along. In the first place the Senatorial cabal
under lead of our :own Oliver decided that
no election should be held in the everturn-
ed State until the Kellogg Legislature has
Pinchback's investigation until after that as,
were he denied the seat, the Legislature
two thirds colored-wOuld set to work at once
and reelect him. So it is neatly fixed that on
she fourth day Of March, when Congress adj
journs, new election will be ordered in
the state and Pinchbsck's seat declared va
cant. Then the ingenious Mr.. Kellogg prom
ises to appoint brother-in-law Casey to the
vacancy and if the ring carry the State, he
will be elected to continue there. That ex-
plains the withdrawal OF the Presidents loud-
ly trumpeted message. He found that "the
party couldn't UNLOAD" so big a scandal as
the Louisiana outrage without imperiling
its existence. When TO this was added the
littlenotion that brother-in-law Casey could
obtain the coveted senstorship-it need not
surprise the faithful that the coed man re-
Tented, or repented his Spartan purpose Of
reforming the party. Altogetherthe LOuisi-
ana affair pans out deeps Of unexpected
mesnness At every stage Of its progress.
Just now Oliver and the presioent are hand

Otsego Lake has been selected as one of
the fields for fish farming, and better one
could hardly be found. 1t is in Otsego Coun-
ty, New York, the head waters of the Sus-
quehanna River, is nine miles long and
from one to two miles wide. The waters
are remarkable for purity and coolness,
20 that the native bass taken
froa this lake have Q wide reputation
for excellence above any fish of
the kind found in any other place. Coopers-
town, the home Of the novelist, lies at the
foot OF the lake, one OF the most picturesque
of American towns. In March, 1872, the ex-
pertinent of stocking the lake with fish was
begun. Another attempt, which failed by
some adverse luck, .wss made in November
OF the same year. Again on
January s, 1873, 10000 salmon
trout eggs were successfully Matched and
set free. and shortly after 100000 Otsego bass
fry were safely deposited. Following up in
last November another instaIlment of 49,
600 salmon trout were added. Some black
bass, and rock bass have also been planted,
and altogether about half million of
fish have been started in those clear
waters. AS the conditions are all IA
vorable in this case, the result will show
what can be done in the line of raising fish
under the best circumstances. 1t is an ex-
pertinent that should be watched with in |
terest by this state, as the northern part of
Indiana, especially, abounds with lakes and
ponds which may by similar prosess be
made of more value than the land
which surrounds them.
