We believe that the bill restoring
the old silver dollar to its place
among the coins of the country Will
be passed either this session of Con-
gress or next, and that resumption
in silver will begin at the appoint
ed time in 1879.-Lawrence Journal.
How much better will that make
the greenbacks, when now and for
three years past any one has been
able to get silver dollars in ex-
change for greenback dollars to any
extent they desired. We are now
on "silver basis" Our paper dol
lars are now worth their face in
silver, and more too, on the non
legal redemption system. Why not
let the safest and surest plan of re.
demption alone? Just sit down and
think good big thunk on this point.

by the fifteenth amendment should
be protected. The Democrats were
so indignant at the preamble, which
they claim acknowledged the out
RACES, that they fatty refused to
vote, and for over an hour kept the
House without a quorum. This on
ly made matters worse, and finally,
as there was no other alternative,
they took the bull by the horns and
Grst passed the resolution with but
two dissenting votes, but thirty-one
of them would not agree to the pre-
amble. The scene was an unprece-
dented one, for never in the history
of the House was q majority ever
known to fllibuster against an act o.
one of its own Members. The Re.
publicans hugely enjoyed the dis
comfiture of the other side.

There are a good many Democrats
after all, who want to do about the
right thing, but are prevented by
the party lash from doing so. Oh
this stamp Mr.. Lord, member from
New York, is shining example.
He believed it was wrong for the
party to wink at the Hamburg as
sAssins. Few members dared to say
anything against that terrible affair
for fear of insulting the supporters
of Tilden at the South. In the
Democratic party there is almost as
much of the despicable spirit o 1
dOugh-faceism as before the war
The party depends almost exclu.
sivoly for its existence on sectional
feeling. Were ii not for the old
feeling of hatred in the South to.

ed. He evidently acted without
consultation. In the House, on the
10th, he precipitated fire-brand in
the ranks of the Democrats. He
evidently feared the effect of the
Hamburg massacre and the Miss
ssippi report, and offered resolu.

South which results in murder
should be punished, and that al

THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Opening OF Ihe Fan Tern

Opening Of Ihe Fall Term
The advertisement for the Fall
term of the Normal School may be
found in to-day's paper.
The Board of Regents of this
School are Edwin Tucker, of Eure-
ka; M. NJ. Murdoch, of Wichita
g. B. Butler. of Coffey county; j.
II. Crichton, of Chetopa; A. Sellers,
Wsbaunsee county and II. G. Cross,
of Emporia. These gentlemen are
old residents of the state, have seen
much public service, and are prac.
teal business men, who have the
best interests of the state at heart.
After mature dellberation the ma
jority decided that the school should
go on that it would be disastrous
TO close it, and allow its scholars to
be scattered, and become the stu
dents of other Institutions. In
brief they decided it was best to
"hold the fort" until the decision OF
the next legislature could be had.
In doing this they have in no way
laid the state liable for cent-have,
of course, strictly adhered to the
law.
They placed the school in charge
of Prof. q. II. Pomeroy, who at an
actual loss to himself will keep it
going until further action of the
legislature. Mr.. Pomeroy has, we
believe, been President of the School
for about three years, and up to last
year, or so long as there were no
unnatural difficulties to obstruct =,
the school was, in every way, q
most gratifying success under his
management. The board have the
utmost confidence in Mr.. Pomeroy.
There never has been any COM
plant of incapacity or wrong do
ing, or charges of any kind brought
before them against him. Even
those that have opposed the policy
of continuing the school on its pres
emit status, admits Mr.. Pomeroy's
ability as disciplinarian, scholar,
and a teacher. We know this
Board of Regents would not keep
him q day were they not entirely
satisfied with his WORK.
We do not hesitate to recommend
the schoolto our readcrs-especially
TO our young men and women who
are seeking to qualify themselves
as teachers in our common schools.
We believe the school to be, for
them, the best one in the State, and
as good as they can find in the
West. 1t is Mr.. Pomeroy's inten-
ton to call to his assistance the very
best teachers to be found in the
country.
And we take this occasion to
say to the people of Southern
Kansas that the question with them
now is whether this school shall be
continued or not. There are strong
efforts being made by different
interests to break 1t up entirely,
and nothing will prevent this but
q united and determined effort on
the part of all its friends. This
involves the laying aside of all diff.
ferences of personal considerations
The school itself rises above the in
terests of individuals. Once over
the backset given 1t last winter, and
with tho people united in its sup
port, it will enter upon a course OF
usefulness and prosperity which
will make it the pride of the State,
We urge the people more directly
to be benefited by it's continuance
here to give it support which
shall disarm its enemies of theft
arguments againts its continuance
