THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY.

lis nsdNaiiilg ana amusing IN the ex-
itreme TO read itiIe@nnmants of the leading
Democratic and WutaisIh papers on the
State Republican 'Uidhdtnow i'll tshe field,
ana the Republican Party i'm general.
The STATE Leader published at Dcs Moines
says 1t Is the same ora party and with
Sic same principles" This is just what
NE have held all along and we think such
an assertion coming from one of the fore
most opposition papers is praise enough
for any party which has the record the
Republican party has. ''The same old
patty and with the same principles" 1t
is the same old party which saved the
country from disruption and ruin-the
Same old party which has had feT its
hadsr,a Lincoln, a Sumner, Greeley taeac
same old party which forever wiped from
our otherwise bright escutcheon the foul
blot of human sluvery-which had been
aptly termed ''the sum of all viRainies;7
the same old parity wfrich when it had
conquered its enemies on the field of bat
tie, had the magnanimity to pardon and
take by the hand these who had sought
to destroy the best and most liberal gov
crnment upon which the sun eyer shene;
the same old party which now has for its
leaders such men as Henry Wilson, Jas.
G. Blaine, General Logan, Senator Morton,
Geo. G. Wright, Samuel J. Kirkwood and
others who have not only proven true to
the party but true to humanity and true
to the best interest Of our country; the
same old party which has done more for
the cause Of humanity and right than any
other political organization ever known.
And it has "the same principles" We
are glad of this. We are glad it had the
power and honesty to stick to its rlinci-
piles. 1t is the first party in the history
of this or any other nation which gained
and held such unlimited power and had
SO many temptations offered to it and
through all have kept the 'same princi-
pies" What are some of these "same
principles: Equality of all men before
the law; universal education; free speech;
free press; magnanimity-"with malice
toward none, with charity for all" hon
est and economical government.
We wonder if the Leader is willing to
admit that the Democratic party is "the
same old party with the same principles.
That is the party which also believes in
certain lights-''the right of every man to
wallop his own nigger"-for instance,
and many other similar rights which we
might mention.
The same old party with the same
principles" is what pleases us and we
hope the opposition press of Iowa, yea,
Of the whole country will continue to
harp upon that theme during the whole
campaign. In case that is done Iowa
will not stop Snort OF 5000 or GO0O0 Re-
publican majority, while the other States
will bring up their full quota.

dinal principle of the Republican faith
that the republic is nation, one and in
admissible, within which the constitutional
rights of the States, aud of the people to
local self government, must be faithfully

Gold and silver are the only reliable
and permanent legal tender, and We favor
the earliest attainment of 4 currency con-
yerahlr with coin, and theref re advocate
gradual rcsumpt on of specie payments
by continuous and steady steps in that d.
rection.
3-That we favor tariff for revenue SO
adjusted as 10 encourage home industry.
4-1'hat the earnest efforts of the gov
eminent to collect revenue and punish
frauds have our unqualified approval.
5-Wc are opposed to further grants CT
lands to railroads and other corporations,
but we demand a reservation Of public
domain for settlements under the ho1he-
stead laws, and for other bondfide settlers.
1--WE demand such revision OF pat
ent laws as will relieve industry from the
oppression of monopolies in their admin
istratiou.
THAT we cordially approve tine policy
of the present administration in the settle
snent OF difficulties between ourselves and
other nations by arbitration, instead of
appealing to arms.
S-The Republican party Of Iowa Is op-
posed Is a third term in the Presidency.
9--We demand that all railway and
other corporations shall be held in full
and just subsection to the law-making
power.

A Government Service that Pays.

If Government expenditures generally
made as good return to the Public well
fare, and in dollars and cents also, as
those devoted to the establishment and
equipment of wrecking stations on the
sea coasts and lakes, the critical reviewer
Of public affairs would have his censor
ship duties largely diminished. 1t is,
therefore, with considerable satisfaction
that the public eye may rest on the an
aouncement that contracts have just
been made at the Treasury Department
for nine new life stations on the lakes,
and five ''rcfuges" on the sea coast. A
recent official report shows that these
stations on the Atlantic coast northeast
of Cape Hatteras, within the eight months
from the LIST Of November, 1874, to June,
1875, gayo assistance TO fifty-nine wreck
cd vessels, which had on board eight hun

eight hundred and forty-scven were saved
and that in the same time property TO the

about four years the Life Saving service

Explanation of Referenees-

Neither Absent nor Tardy during year
To the Board Of Education, Toledo:
GENTLEMEN-In accordance with your
regulations / take pleasure in presenting
for your inspection the above exhibit of
the annual examination for promotion of
pupils.
School opened the fourteenth day Of
September 1874 and closed the eighteenth
day of June, 1875, completing school
year of nine months. During the year
Is pupils who resided out of the district,
attended school; their tuition as per re-
ceipts delivered to me aggregating $50 So
Fourteen pupils left the district during
the year.
The text books remain the same as last
year and the only change the coming year
is that of biographies, in which by your
late action you substituted Cornells in
the place of Guyott's. The imperfections
of the latter certainly demanded change
and think that both teachers and pupils
will be delighted to find its place filled by
so admirable and systematic a work as
that of Corncll's. Only those classes that
would be obliged to purchase new books
next year will be required to use Cornclrs
all the other classes completing the
books with which they are at present sup
piled; and by this means avoiding unnec.
essary expense.
The number of pupils in the first and
second primary departments next year,
without doubt, will be such as TO necessi-
tate some additional arrangements for
their accommodation and instruction.
therefore respectfully invite your atten-
ton to the matter; this perhaps could best
be accomplished by organizing three de-
partments out of the two.
A comparison Of the present average
class standing" with that of last year
will chow that in no instance does the av
crage class standing in all studies fall
below that of last year; and with the ex-
ception of a single class it is very much
higher. This satisfactory result is un-
doubtedly in large measure attributable
to the somewhat searching examination
