Republican National Convention.

The next Cniou Republican National Convention
for the nomination OF candidates for President and
VicePresdent of the United States will be held in
the city of Cincinnati, Wednesday, the fourteenth
day of June, 1876 at II o'clock noon and will consist
of delegates from each State equal to twice the num-
Der of its Senators and Representatives in Congress
and of two delegates from each organized Territory
and the district of Columbia.
In calling the conventions for the election of dele
gtes the committees of the several States are re-
commended to invite all Republican electors and all
other voters, without regard to past political dit
ferences or previous party affiliations, who are
opposed to reviving sectional issues and desire to
promote friendly feeling and permanent harmony
throughout the country by maintaining and enforcing
all the constitutional rights of every CITIZEN iucud-
ing the full and free exercise OF the right OF suffrage
without intimidation and without fraud; who are in
favor Of the continued prosecution and punishment
OF all oncla dishonesty, and an economical adminis-
traton OF the Government by honest faithful and
forms IN government as experience may from time to
time suggest who are opposed to imparing the cred
it OF the nation by depreciating any of its obligations
and in favor OF sustaining in every way the national
faith and financial honor; who hold that the common
school system is the nursery of American liberty and
should be maintained absolutely free from sectarian
control; who believe that for the promotion of these
ends, the direction Of the Government shonld con-
tnue to be conded to those who adhere the prin-
cpes of 1776, and support them as Incorporated in
the Constitution and the laws; and Who are in favor
of recognizing and Strengthening the fundamental
principle OF National Unity in this Centennial An
niversary of the birth of the Republic.

WELL knowing the reputation Of the Maine
Standard for political falsehood we are free
TO say that journal never printed more gen.
ulne fiction than that declaring that Gov.
Connor is not satisfactory to the Republicans
OF the state and is to be superseded. The
fact is that Gov. Connor has so satisfactorily
discharged his duties and so fayorably i'm
pressed himself upon the Republican men,
bers OF the Legislature that he is more popu-
lar to-day than when he was inaugurated.
A man of high character, of integrity, with
purpose to do the best thing for the state
and its people in every matter, consclen-
tious party man without being bigoted par
tisan, he possesses to remarkable degree the
confidence and esteem of the men who cleo
ted him. We predict that he will be the Re.
publican standard bearer as long as he de-
sires it, and will lead them to such victory
in Maine the centennial year as will remind
the STANDARD editor of the overwhelming de-
feats he has Suffered at the hands of the Re-
publicans of Maine. 1t is an appreciation of
this fact which has led the Standard to utter
so silly ialsehood.

THE Democrats got along swimingly in
their retrenchment programme until they
reached the Democratic clerks in the House.
Then they stopped. 1t was easy and pleas
ant to cut down the pay of Republican Off
GERS, but to reduce the salaries of Democrats
was quite another affair, not to be thought of
for moment. Still they can't see how to
Justify the cutting down of the pay of chiefs
of divisions in the Treasury Department who
work all the year round unless they cut down
the pay of the House clerks who draw the
same salary and who work but nine months
in the year. So they think of restoring the
Treasury salaries to the old figure. Great
thing, this Democratic economy,

UNTIL recently the chief fright" which
women have had in Germany has been the
right to exercise some very disagreeable oc-
cupations, such as Harvesting themselves into
carts and dragging burdens. But of late,
there is change for the better, and the last
ten years have given birth to more compre-
hensive courses of schoolstudy, and have
witnessed the opening OF many occupations,
as bookkeeping and telegraphy to women.
Now Fraulein Josephine Freytag of Berlin, is
about 10 publish book, in which she states
woman's position before the law, shows its
injustice, and claims equality educationally,
politically, and socially.

UNTIL lately it has been conceded that to
Boston belongs the honor of establishing the
first free school in Massachusetts. But Sa-
lem now comes forward to contest the claim,
and her school superintendent asserts that
she opened free school in 1887, the Rev.
John Fisk being teacher. The first record of
a school in Boston is in 1912

STRANGE ideas these Western people have
of Maine. Here is the State Educational
Journal of Iowa saying, "a President of
Bowdoin College was tortured by the Maine
Legislature as late as 1884," The Iowa
periodical is mistaken in the date. 1t was a
year earlier, the same year that Iowa, then a
territory, passed law disemhowelling all
Protestant clergymen caught within her
limits, the notorious and unjust law rnder
which Jeremy Taylor, Thomas Kempis and
Vanini, then holding pastorate in the state,
lost their lives. Peculiar ideas as to history
and education these Iowa editors and teach
ers hold.

MAINE bids fair to realize great prices from
her ice crop this season, as the rates are
steadily rising. The Hudson River papers
are quite blue over the prospect there. The
Albany Times says prices have enormously
increased within week, and the Poughkeep-
see Eagle says there are not hopes of over
half crop. The situation is gloomy, the
river is as free from ice as in May, not hun
dred thousand tons have yet been housed,
and the Spring is close at hand. 1t is esti
mrted that the New York crop is half mill
lion tons short.

DANIEL MARCY, Democratic candidate for
Governor of New Hampshire, will be remem-
bered as the man who in 1854 expressed his
belief that the name of President Lincoln
would "go down to posterity with the deep
execrations of all who love and revere the
Union" Men like this one are those whom
the Democracy delight to honor.

IN the March Scribner DIR. Holland treats
once more of the school question using the
following language: "This matter Of leaving
education to parents and churches is, to use
the familiar but expressive slang of the street,
played OUT If the advocates of this policy
could point TO single well-educated nation
on the face of the globe, whose popular intel
hgence is the result of that policy they might
have some claim to be heard but no such
nation exists. Where priests and parents
have had it all their own way for generations
and centuries, there is 10 be found the great
est degree of popular ignorance. and the men
whose votes most seriously menace the health
and permanance of American institutions and
American life are the very men we have i'm

DEMOCRATIC financial wisdom shows itself
IN the bill introduced by Mr., Harrison of

Oh greenbacks for national Dank notes, and
tne boarding Of gold at the rate of s16.0OO.-
600 annually until the accumulation reaches
one third of the amount of outstanding gov.

OF greenbacks to s7OO,OOO,OOO. and so it
would be fifteen years before the work of re-

provides that redemption shall proceed at
