The highest mission of the Patrons
of Husbandry is TO be that of working
a reformation in the educational sys.
tenn of the country. Our common
schools are being conducted as if ouI
children were being fitted in them fol-
the learned professions, instead of be-
ing educated to become farmers and
farmers wives; as if they were to BIZ
lawyers, doctors or clergymen, instead
of tillers Of the soil, or workers in the
shops of mechanics and manufacturers
while the fact proves that ninety-sever
out Of every hundred go out from the
school to engage in these occupation:

The honey interest of the country
has been very largely promoted by
women. Mrs. E. S. Upper, of Iowa,
is the leading writing on Bookkeeping
in the country. In 1870, Miss Kate
Grimm. of Jefferson county, Wiscon-
sin, earned over $4,000 in a single year
iii the management of bees. One OF
the most successful managers of bees
in the country, and one of the best
writers on bee-culture, is daughter
of the late NJ. L. Dunlap,o of Champaign,
Illinois. One of the largest apiaries
in the country is at Des Moines, Iowa,
and is managed entirely by women.

At the last session of the State
Grange, a resolution was adopted in
structing the secretary to ask the Leg
islature for better protection against
dogs. The Maryland State Grange
adopted memorial praying that tax
of one dollar be imposed on each dog
in the State. If we are correctly in
formed, the Kentucky State Grange
took some similar action. When each
subordinate Grange in the wool-grow-
ing sections of the State will take hold
of this matter in earnest, something
can be accomplished to protect this
important industry.

Winter AmuSementS.

DR.. Holland writes as follows, III
Scribner'S for December, on the sub
ject of winter amusements:
at is an easy thing to establish, Ell
Their in the country or city neighbor-
hoods, the reading club. Twenty-Five
young men and women Of congenlal
tastes, habits and social belongings,
can easily meet in one another's houses
cnce during every week, through five
or six months of the year. With a
small fund they can buy good books,
and, over these, read aloud by one or
another of their number, they can
spend an hour and half most pleas
antly and profitably. They will find in
these books topics of conversation for
the remainder of their time spent to-
gether. If they can illuminate the
evening with music, all the better.
Whatever accomplishments may be in
the possession of different members of
che club, may be drawn upon to give
variety to the interest of the occasion.
This is entirely practicable everywhere.
1t is more profitable than amateur the
atricals, and less exhaustive of time
aud energy. 1t can be united with al
most any literary object. Such a club
cultivates the art of good reading,
which is one Of the best and most USE
full of all accomplishments. 1t would
cultivate thought, Imagination, taste.
In brief the whole tendency of the
club is towards culture-the one thing,
Notwithstanding all our educational
advantages, the most deplorably lack

WE HAVE received large number of
letters thanking us for our editorial con-
tanned in our issue of the goth ult.,
headed, "a Few Facts About our Pdblic
Schools" We were not aware that the
dissatisfaction was of such wide extent.
We are now inclined to think that very
thorough investigation should be made
iato the conduct of those now controlling
the schools, and quite thorough change
made. From careful inquiry we have 'esn
forced to the opinion that most oFshe eflis
that affect our schools re-ult from the
neglect of trustees, wb"n has given the
Superintendent p~-dy supreme power, if
not from less creditsble causes. Many Of
the tr,,.,ees have not made a single visit
teeftain schools Immediately under their
charge during the past school year, and
those same trustees now demand the re-
moval of the teachers of those schools.
Who has instructed and advised it7 The
answer IS, Superintendent ]. o. Wilson.
Yet he himself has studiously refrained
from visiting some of these very schools.
We are firm friend of our public schools,
and we can do them no better service than
exposing the conduct of officers who are
using them TO their own selfish ends.

TEXAS POLITICS.

Who shall say that Texas is not progressing,
when it is known tnat bill providing that no
man shall act as a juryman, unless he can
read and write the English language, has
passed the Senate with but five dissenting
votes? Let it pass both Houses, and be ap-
proved by the Governor. 1t isn't good Re-
publican Radicalism, it is true, which puts the
ignorant freedmen of the South not only on
juries but on the bench, but it is common sense
aud decency, and that is enough.-BaltimOre
Sun.
The bill in question has become law,
but the words "in English" were stricken
out, because in its original shape the bill
would dlsfranchise the Mexicaus, who
change their nationality much oftener
than they do their shirts, who at their con-
venience become imperislists, revolution
isis, cattle raiders or sham 1ndisns, which
ever offers the best opportunities for
practice of coming over to the Texas side
of the Rio Grande and voting the Demo-
cratic ticket at all elections. In fact thsyf
govern great portion of western Texas.
The bill was not intended to disfranchise
Mexican Democrats, but negro Republi-
cans. The thieving numbering greasers
are allowed more privileges under the
Democratic State government than the
honest, industrious negroes. The Demo
cratic party nor the Baltimore Sun has
anything to boast OF in the passage of the
Texas jury law. In 1878 when Richard
Coke, present Governor and United States
Senator-elect, was the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, the Democrats "cor-
rallied" over one thousand greasers, who
could not speak one word of English. in

possession telegram informing him that the
answers to those interrogatories had been
sent to Washington by express, and the
parties who had charge of them were hunt

SEVERAL GENTLEMEN of the legal pro-
fession have suggested that the bill provid
ing for paving Pennsylvania avenue pend
ing in Congress is unconstitutional in this:
that the proposed law names the persons
(Messrs. Gilmore, Wright and Clark who
shall form a commission to decide which
of the several pavements shall be adopted.
1t is argued that Congress undoubtedly has
the power to provide by law the number
and class of officers who shall form the COM
mission, but the appointing power is in the
Executive exclusively; and hence the selec-
tion and appointment of the persons to form
the commission must be left to the Presi-
dent. If this argument be well taken the
names of the persons incorporated in the
bill should be stricken therefrom and the
appointment left TO the discretion of the
Executive. Suppose, .fter the passage of

die or become disabled, what power exists

THEY WANT REFORM.

The Associated Press dispatches from
Albany tell us that when he received the
news from St. Louis Gov. Tilden, scarcely
above a whisper, said ri can tell you
"what has done this. The nomination
"was not made by the leaders of the
"psrty. 1t was the people who made it.
They want reform. They have wanted
it for a long while, and in looking about
they have became convinced that it is to
"be found here, (pointing to himself)
They want it; that is what they are
after" And yet we remember very
quiet little circular, issued in 1868, when
Seymour's friends cheated President Grant,
by knavery and corruption, out of the
electoral vote of New York State. The
circular was as follows:
Private and strictly confdentiaLl
"RooMs OF DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE,

cate with some reliable person, in three or four
principal towns and in each city of your

"There is, of course, an important object to
be attained by a simultaneous transmission at
the hour of closing the polls, but not longer
waiting. Opportunity can be taken of the
usual half-hour lull in the telegraphic COM
munications over lines before actual results
begin to be declared, and before the As sociated
Press absorb the telegraph with returns and
interfere with individual messages; and give
orders to watch carefully the count.

If the above circular was not intended to
bring about the result that was achieved,
for what was it intendedf Greatly to
everybody's establishment, except those in
the secret, Seymour was declared to have

THE Democrats count without their host
when they claim all OF the Southern States.
The two CarOlinas, Florida, and perhaps
one &her State in that section are certain
for the Republican ticket. The Demo-
cratic idea, however, is to carry the entire
South, together with New York, New
jersey and Connecticut, which would give
them, with lev additional votes, the ma
jority in the electoral college. They do
would like to get along without any
Northern votes at all if that were possible.
The more Northern strength they get the
less patronage they will haVe, in the event
OF their success. for the -Coufederat5s.

T11DEN AND THE RAILROAD JoBBERs

The New York Sun says:
"Write this down for truth: The Demo-
cratic party is not owned either by Colonel
Thomas A. Scott or Jay Gould. Its nomina-
tions are for the country, not for railroad job
bers."
This is cool. 1t is fact notorious
throughout New York State that the rail
roads swamped and pocketed by Samuel j.
Tilden have been the ruin of thousands of
families. His excuse, after deducting ex-
penses of litigation, has been that they
should be reformed out of the watered
stock into institutions that rest on paying
basis, whereby, through the various sinu-
os,ties of transfer and solidifying, the Re.

A FEW WEEKS ago the average intelli-

at the inaction or imbecility of the ma

tion was developed, most decidedly, to
oppose any further advancement Of the
Democratic party as regards the control of
the Government Now that the St. Louis
nominations have been made, the effort is
being made to rally all the discontented
elements of the party to the support of
Tilden and Hendricks. 1t is not possible,
however, that tue effort will succeed, be-
