been confined about ten days ago, but up

pOLJTICS Nv THE SCHOOL,.

There are complaints that the public school
course is overloaded with studies which, use
ful enough elsewhere, are hardly OF practical
value therein. We have no sympathy for the
blatant enthusiasm manifested over mere rote
knowledge of natural sciences and the arts In
our schools The course is n short one; 1t
gives the only education received by thou
sands, and it is not wise TO impede II Win
branches not absolutely necessary to practical
life. The "systcm" has countless faults-and
in lettering it, it may be that educators should
sometimes study subtraction instead OF addition.
As for natural scieHces and Industrial
arts the places in which to study those are
special technical schools, thoroughly fitted,
splendidly manned by working teachers, and,
above all, free. Too many of these we cannot
have 50 long rs they are efficient. There is
one addition, however, which might DC made
without dGtriment to the school cOarse-the
study in various forms of political science.
There is q great deal Of sentimental non
sense talked concerning the typical large
minded and patriotic American youth
the truth is that there lives no such being.
American boys read newspapers, but not the
politics in thcm-which may be judicious.
They are attracted by the drum and
fife of political meetings, but to them
it is all delightful noise Uid 10 ideas.
In country villages they lounge sometimes
with their elders in " the store" but the wis
dom they acquire thus is chiefly remarkable
for poverty and shallowness They are ignorant
of the formation of their government, the
most effective motors in its history, the pro-
visions and action of the Constitution. They
have no training whatever for their poiitl-
cal duties-dutcs certainly not the least
important of their lives. The aver
age teacher takes no interest In
practical politics, and from one years end
to another never opens his or her lips on the
subject. We do not advise plunging the pupil
into dry essay and diffuse dissertation, but
surely time can be found for Il little study
which shall be thorough and reasonable
amount of apt, simple, and interesting eXpla-
nation There is no lack of texts, and
teacher who has brains and energy will see
that the study is not perfunctory. Future
Congresses would not be the worse for such
instruction.

A LOST OPPORTTNITT.

Gov. Tilden had a magnificent opportunity.
He stood too long at the brink of il, and at
last let it go by. 1t was known that his friends
in convention had opposed that clause of the
platform which demands the repeal of the Re
SUMPTION act Some of them, as Mr.
Dorsheimer stated in debate, signed formal
protests against it. 1t was reported that the
personal influence of Gov. Tllden had pre-
vented the passage of a bill OF that nature by
the House. That there was bitter contest in
the House between that wing OF the party
which approved Mr.. Tildcn's hard-money record
and that wing which accepts Mr.. II ,ndrlckS
as its representative was well known. Nor
had Mr.. Hendricks hcsItated to declare his
opinicns. Without waiting for the response of
Gov. Tilden. not only in his reply to a screnade
at Indianapolis shortly after the nomination,
but III the letter recently published, Gov. Hen
dricks had placed his own Interpretation upon
the st. L0us platform. Gov. Tilden should
have felt that he could not accept that in
ter,setation, even by silence. His past record
WAS honorable. Men had called him the Jack
son of later times, and had expected from him
something of that sturdy, unyielding fidelity
to convictions which made cold Hickory" III
spite OF all MS IaulUS, Inc maStci VI hIo Pu'y
and his time. Had Gov. Tildcn been the mas
ter of this time and Of the Democracy of to-
day. his letter would have been somewhat DIFF
ferent in its treatment of the most important
question under discussion.
/ Let us suppose for a moment that Gov. Til
den had said to his party bluntly: "With you
81 hold the act of 1875 insufficient. But it
"was a formal pledge of the public faith.
Democracy does not repudiate Our duty is

TO-D4y,S ELECTIONS.

The first State election which Will have any
influence upon the Presidential canvass occurs
in Alabama to-day. In all OF the calculations
Alabama has been put down on the Demo-
cratic side, and il is generally expected that
it will be carried by that party to-day. There
has been no active canvass made by either
party. The Independent ticket, which was the
result of compromise between the Spencer
and anti-Spencer factions OF the. Republican
party, has at its head n Democrat, and Is
made MP almost entirely Of men who have
never been radically Republican IN principle.
1t was put before tie people so recently that
no accurate estimate Of It's popularity can be
made. The probabilities are that it will draw
votes from the regular Democratic ticket, but
whether the dsaficction will be serious cannot he
ascertaincd till after election. Until 1874 the
State was Republican by from 5000 TO 10000
majority. This was reversed i'll that year, and
the Democrats carried the State by $4,000
majority.
The significance which the election will have
is obvious If the Democrats carry If, the
effect will be to cheer them up a little, but ii
will not show any growth of sentiment in
their favor unless they largely increase their
would merely show that their claim of 8 solid
"South rests on substantial grounds. But il
the Republicans carry the State, it Will he an
ominous event for the Democracy. The "solid
"South' claim, which is the cornerstone OF
their hopes will crumble away before the loss
of one OF their surest States, and the party
will start upon the campaign under dcpfcs-
sion which it will have hard work to
shake OF If the party cannot carry
Alabama, it can have no hope OF
securing louisiana Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, or Florida, and without those
States its chances for success in NOycmbcr
would be very small. If the Republicans do
not gain the State the result will act as an in
centiye rather than as hinderance for their
greatest danger at present is over-coniidencc,
with It's accompanying inaction. The vote of
Kentucky, which will also be cast to-day will
have no national significance, as it is only for
minor officials.
