OF being cheated as to che

THE PUBLIC SCHo0Ls.-As corroboratiye
of what we said yesterday in regard to the
popularity Of the public schools in the
northern States we publish the following
resolution, which was adopted by the Demo
cratic State Convention Of Indiana on We'd
deSday: &c.. .....
8. AS Democrats we may indulge in laud-
able pride at the great success OF our conf
mon-school system, which had its origin in
Democratic policy and its development in
Democratic measures. We will stand by
and forever maintain our constitutional pro-
vision, which guarantees our common
school fund from diminution and misappro-
priation, and its use only to support non
sectarian common schools, and we denouncc
as enemies of the schools the Republican
politicians who, for party ends, have sought
to bring them into political and sectarian
controversy.
OF course the Republicans are not enc
mics OF the common schools. On the con.
trary, they claim to be much better friends
OF them than the Democrats are. The reso-
lutions incorporated into the confession OF
faith Of both parties merely indicate how
popular the system is. Each party tries to
use this popularity to better its own for
tunes

STILL HARPING ON JEFP.-Whether Mr..
Jefferson Davis really proposes to write a
history OF the war or not is uncertain. II
he does the comments OF the southern press
will not cheer him in the work. One jour
nal predicts that the book will be out just
in time to defeat the Democracy at the next
election, and Colonel Forsyth suggests that
Mr.. Davis would be wiser to keep out Of
print, and let some OF his descendants pub
lish his views, since publication by him
self could do no good, and might do much
harm. Still Mr.. Davis might get handsome
sum for his work il he would issue it as

j WIXsJ.ow Is not TO be surrendered, and
what OF it: The two countries concerned
will either feel the need Of such treaty ant

mead Of one and so will not make q new one,
What's the odds! We sec no occasion ioi
any trouble between England and the United
States on this question.
But after all is said, il must appear some
what inexplicable to Great Britain that the
United States, which is the proper Govern
ment to demand the exraditon OF WINS

pledge that he will moi he tried for
some other offence than the one charged

the United States Government would feel
called upon TO give such pledge. il il

must seem little singular that the Govern

the country cannot try q man for simple
forgery though it can reaeh It's long arms

offended, yet Massachusetts cannot demand
his surrender. 1t is the Toited States Gov
ernmeat that demands his surrender, yet
the United States Government could not
punish hin, if iie were surrendered. 1t is
the same question which arose When Missis-
sippi repudilted her debt. UNCLE SAM
couldn't make his daughter pay the debt,
but he could protect her from the poweisof

swindied. A plain JoHa BILL. may be ex-

When used as an auxiliary, verb loses lts
original Specification. Many OF the blunders
and troubles Of the Journal grow out OF tne
fact that it ignores or does not think OF tnis
REGULARITY OF the auxiliary verbs.
Here is the closing criticism OF the JotT-
nal:
In be;ng the termination ing may be
called "the sign Of progression Dut u IS
| the sim of progression, or rather continu-
ance Of beinq, not of something else. "ihe
| house --be;nS finished" The joining OF
beino to finished cannot make finished de-
note unfinished, which it must do il being
| finished denotes progression, gong on 10
finished state and not yet arrived at 1t.
How blind the Journal is. 1t would
write, "the house is in process OF being
finished" and would call it good English.
Yet If its criticism is worth anything this
last sentence is incorrect. "The joining OF
is in process Of being" to finished "can-
not make finished denote uny1nished"!
The poet writes:
| "The pleasure Ia as great
] OF being cheated as to cheat
How natural it would be to ask "who is
being cheated?" But this natural ques-
ton, we are told, would not be expressed in
good English.
But enough. The subject is one that will
be discussed for years yet to come, no
| doubt. We notice, however, that, let the
purists and grumblers say what they will,
| the writers for the press go on writing &" is
being built" els being plowed," and all
the rest Of the els beings" The battle is
already fought and won.

"the house is cOInplctcd'; this last means
exactly the same as 'the house is COM
plete'' Yet it would be absurd to write
''the house is completing,' though this is
just what the journal would have to write
| il It's doctrine were true. When the verb
| is merely transit:ve and not active
TINT is not expressing progressive action
the active form is also different from the
active form of verb which is merely trans
tive. Thus we do not write, "she is loy-
ing him." but ''she loves him." and so
when we use the passive form we do not
write, ''she is being loved" but "she is
loved" On the contrary, when the verb
| expresses progressive action, we write in
| the active voice, he is building the
house," and in the passive, "the house Is
being built by him." Suppose we write,
:" the held is blowing with IL coulter" 1t
would be incorrect The field can't plow
M all. But il we could say correctly, "the
field is DloWing," using "ploWing" intran-
sitiyeiy, we could not correctly add, "with
Il coulter" or .:with" anything else; be-
cause the word with . cannot be made to
refer to anything but the active asent-the
plownlan himself. Therefore, we are IN this
case also compelled to write, "the field is
being rlowel With coulter"
Another analogue OF the sshouse is
building" is 'I'thc man is hanging" II the
former can express the act OF an agent not
even alluded to in the words, then the latter
expresses "the man is being hanged by the
sheriff. But the journal will hardly con-
tend that 81 the man is being hanged by the
sheriff. and "the man is hanging by the
sheriff are equivalent sentences. The one
does not convey the meaning conveyed by
She other. And ii not, the Journal whole
argument tails.
The journal instances as incorrect ones,
certain sentences in which verbs merely
transitiye are spoiled in the passive voice
BY the use OF sis being These examples
do not touch our argument. Some OF these
verbs are: spossess, 2 g love, g state, 2 &c.
The Journal would not object to the SEN
tence, Z. he is having a house brrilt, sor, & ne
lis having built d house, iIetall the obiee-

hundred, as we personally know. Now
is there not some thing wrong in q system
under which, on one hand. an industry,
not a new one born yesterday, but one al,
most as old as the human race itself, goes
begging for people 10 follow it, the re-
sources OF which are suffered TO run to
absolute waste to the extent of millions Of
dollars yearly; and under which, on the
other hand, thousands Of the best part of
the population manage TO crowd into big
cities and there starve because there is no
honest labor for themf
We do not argue that each and every
body should instantly provide himself
with an improved hive and q swarm of
bees, and therein find sooner or later
fortune; we merely point ont one indus
try, more thoroughly and uniformly ne
elected than any other that We now can
recall. 1t is, moreover, in the develop
ment Of industries of this kind that the
solution of the much agitated woman
question lies. Agriculture is one of the
few pursuits that woman is physically
able to follow in its every branch; herein
it is OF especial advantage Again, It's
development would prove general bless
ing ia that, besides enlarging the field of
labor for every one Ii might serve to at
tract men, out from behind counters in
millinery and drygoods stores, away from
the cities and into the open air OF the
country where, in agriculture, mans nat
ural calling, the muscles which nature
has given them, and denied the weaker
sex, could be put to profitable use.-Sei.
