eral as to the means by which he rose,
and none more completely for time
than the present writer of his biography.
Much Of Clusters success has been at
tributed to good fortune, while it was
really the result of All unusual capacity
for hard and energetic work, and rap
idity of intuition which is seldom found
apart from military genius Of the high
est order. 1t is only after careful
and complete examination of the char
acter of the man, and the perusal of a
mass Of private correspondence, begin
ming in his days Of obscurity, after the
unconscious revelation by himself Of
his inmost thoughts and aspirations,
that the author has learned Alright to
appreciate the personality of the sub
ject of this biography. The world has
never known half the real nobility of
the life of Custer, nor a tithe Of the
difficulties under which he struggled.
it will be the authors endeavor to rem
edy this want Of knowledge, to paint
in sober, earnest colors, the portrait Of
such knight Of romance as has not
h"nored the world with his presence
since the days Of Bayard.
This may seem exaggerated praise
to some. A few short weeks ago it
would have sounded so to the writer.
He only asks the world to accept it to-
day, as his honest conviction and sober
testimony, arrived at after very thor
ough and careful examination, by one
who entered on the task with very diff
ferent impressions. The current ide;.
on the subject has been largely due to
the expression set aAoat by Custer him.

impression, to show to the world the
dead as he really was-an ideal hero
is the object Of these pages.

Life Of Gen. Custer.

of this vicinity, who has, for the last
few years been wrestling with grass

sing rapidly to completion. It will be
one Of the most charming biographies
published in years. Both author and
publisher have been greatly surprised
at the vast mass of rich material which
they have been able to obtain. Prob
ably there is not another officer with
anything like the reputation of General
Custer, Of whom so little is accurately
known by the people at large. The
book will be fully Illustrated, and will
give graphic account Of Clusters life,
both in the army and on the plains with
the Indians. His life was romance
from beginning to end. The author, in
his preliminary remarks, says:
This book aims to give to the world
the life of great man, one of the few
really great men that America has pro-
duced. Beginning at the foot of the
social ladder, with no advantages be-
yond those, physical and mental, given
to him by the God who made him, he
rose to the top. His upward career
was so rapid and phenomenal in its
success as to deceive the world iu gen.

As was apparent two or three
days ago would be the case, the re-
turning board of Louisiana, South
Carolina and Florida have issued
certificates Of election to the repub-
lcan electors Of those States. We
very much doubt the propr;ety of
this action, believing that it would
be better for the country to allow
MIR. Tilden TO be president, than to
have Mr.. Hayes occupy that posi-
ton under circumstances forming a
basis for charges of fraud. How
ever, we hope that the people will
be wise enough to preserve the
peace, no matter who may be inau-
gurated.

The Farmers Union rec

The Farmers Union recon-
mends the raising of hemp, peas and
grass in the regions infested by
grasshoppers, assuring its readers
that these crops are "grass-hopper"
proof and exceedingly remunerative.
The former it asserts will yield about
$27 per acre, and the two other pro-
ducts, (the peas being fed to hogs
and the grass to cattle and sheep,
are better paying crops than wheat.

We hope that the result Of the re
cent presidential al election will awak-
en- public attention to the inexpedi-
ency Of a change of the constitution.
The instrument should never be
amended, except to suit new circum-
stances which did not exist when it
was framed. The present plan of
electing the President is as wise as
can be devised. All that we need
desire is, that it shall be honestly
put in practice, remembering that
the office is one which cannot be
contested for by competing aspirants
without involving the country in re-
volution and anarchy.

Our Public Schools,

The report of the State Superin-
tendent of Education, as we have
already remarked, is a singular pro-
duction. He opens with an argu-
ment in favor of the new method of
apportioning the public funds, i. e.
on the basis of the scholars en-
rolled in the schools instead of on
that of the number of schoolable
children in the district, as was form.
erly done. Of course, he gives
some very sound reasons for ap-
proving of the new plan and points
out distinctly objections to the one
it superseded but we can hardly
agree with him in all his conclusions.
To us the new method seems to be
almost as Objectionable and unjust
as the old, and quite as likely to be
made available for dishonest prac
tices. We would recommend Mr..
Burt to put himself to the trouble Of
walking to the opposite side Of the
statue and examining the color Of
the shield from that standpoint, be-
fore deciding so positively whether
It is made Of gold or silver.
Continuing his argument, he pro-
ceeds to say that other improve
ments in the system ought to be
made, and to show that this is true

tendents, trustees and teachers, but

former than with the other classes,

his accusations become more gen

to be understood as finding fault

Cisms of the school system. 1t has
the faults he points out, and we are
glad to see that he calls attention
to them, but we regret that, instead
Of ranging all over creation to seek
comparisons with things animate
and inanimate and drag them in as
illustrations, he has not confined
himself to the subject in hand and
labored to suggest remedies at once

in that it will arouse other minds to
the Importance of amendments in
our school system, and it is to be
hoped that it will lead to remedies
being suggested by which it will
speedily be made far more efficient
than it is in affording opportunities
