The idea seems to be prevalent
among some that because the LEDGER
has changed hands so many times in
the past that there is danger OF its
not being established even now. and
they do not put that confidence in
the paper which it merits, because
they fear it will again changs hands
and they do not wish to be connect
ed with a paper that is all the time
changing hands. To persons of this
mind we would say that the paper
will not change hands in the future
that is, while we have health and
energy. They must not judge the
future by the past, and think be-
cause it has changed so many times
in the past that it will be changed
ir the future. We go into the bus
mess with the expectation of max
ing Mexico our hcme for life and
making journalism u business.
You can rest easy on that score.
This paper will not change hands
again till we arc rich and retire
from business. You a guess how
long that will be.

tus of an avalanche, sweeping every!
thing before 1t. It must now face
tho sober judgement of the coun-
try. 1t must abandon it's appeals to
passion and prejudice. 1t must
abandon its hopes of winning by
personal oalumny and scurrilous vi
tuperation.
The Questions are simple and east
ly consprehendod by everv voter.
/. Will this country prosper SC
long as sectional bitterness Is per.
mitted to load toe South with heavy
and oppressive burdens? Shall the
relentless persecution of the South
continue? Or shall fraternity and
good will between the sections pre-
vail? The Republican party stirs nE
the rancor of old-tims hatred; the
Democratic party seeks to heal the
wounds of the war, and TO reconcile
race with race and section with SEC
ton. A United North grasps the
proffered hand of a united South.
Shall it be?
Shall the general administration
of the country be conducted upon
the principles of the fathers, or
shall the Republic be managed by
those who have already brought it
to the verge of ruin5
8 Shall Reform and Retrench-
ment be enforced; or shall the dss-
TIMES of the nation be left in hands
utterly unable to comprehend its
needs?
Toe result of yesterdays contests
In demonstrating the great impress
sion made by Democracy in the

Of final success in November. The

The Democratic party has strug'

princlpled organization, ready to

The prestige of the Republican

How much longer are these Re
! publican doctors TO be allowed to play
their farce Of 'pacifylng the South,
wbilethe stage on which they act il
the writhing and agonized body po'
li;ic, bleeding from a hundred
wounds that need healing? Have
we, the people, no other concern
than just to sit still and
see this wretched mockery:
performed to the end, while our own
rain is being surely and not slowly
contaminated?
What next? the people are ask
ing, and they will not be diverted
from it. You may send your Bout
wells to search for the hole in the
sky, in Mississippi, as often as you
please. You may wave the bloody
shirt till your arms are sore;you may
shout yourselves hoarse about old
issues, but you will not divert
the minds of the people from the
new and ever present issue OF the
necessity of living, and the necessl-
ty of getting Reform 10 order to
live. All your nostru MS, all your
su~bterfuges, all your lies will do
nothing to cure the universal discon-
tent which your measures have bred
in the hearts of the people, because
your measurs have bred such dis
tresses in the midst of the people.
After you have done with your shout
ing your farce-playing, your shirts
waving, your ridiculous capering on
the calumny tight rope, the people
are sure to demand of you; 'What
next?'
And what will yoa answer, Re-
publican doctors? What, indeed,
can you answer? vii you promise
us Reform? You have had eight
years of undisturbed power to re-
form in, and the results are before

MARRIED FEMALE TEACHERS

The public school circles in this
country are agitated by the question,
Shall married women be employed
as teachers?' At first view, it seems
to be aquestion with only one side
to it, aud that married women are
just as suitable teachers as married
men. l. may be so. But the OBJ
jectors are at not no loss 60 find
grave arguments against their en-
ployment, and tEese are urged with
so much feeling and force, that the
subject has become exciting. As the
natural right OF married women to
sach positions is obvious, it is nee
essary only to state some of the OBJ
jections.
| Married women have husbands
whose duty it is to support them:
their employment as teachers de
prives dependent single women of
the situations for which they have
been qualified in the Normal
Schools.
2 Married women are necessarily
often unable to discharge their du
ties at schools, the higher law OF
maternity compelling them to be at
home.
3 The order of nature is that wo-
men should, on assuming the a
riage relation, devote themselves to
domestic and social cares, and not
to public avocations which look to
the support of the husband and
children.
Perhaps these three observations
suggest the line of objection to mar
ried Women as teachers. Many mi
nor matters might DO mentioned, but
it is evidently old, or rather the
modern question of woman's sphere.
To lay down a rule ON the subject is
too difficult. The family is the
school in which a married women
should teach. A husband is bound
to provide for the support Of his
wife. No husband, with right views,
will have his wife in a public school,
unless dire necessity compels her to
feed and clothe him. But there are
cases where the burden falls on the
wife, and there 10 no work more
fitted to her nature, taste and power
than that of teaching.
Therefore We would make no rule
denying the appointment of married
women as teachers in public schools,
out We would discourage such en-.
never permitting it where
he married woman has a husband
Ible to support her, and in general
the preference to single wo-
nen equally qualified for the post
This is not a world in which we
AN have everything just as we would
ike to have it. Society has its inc
Qualities, and we must take things
s they come and try to make the
est OF them. Few married women
Villlnely leave horne for work.
When they do, it is fair to suppose
hat stern necessity compsls the ser
ice. |,
