more ofthat spirit that bulldeth up. They
should be paid ad valorem. Teachers
should train their minds to think and act
plainly, and train their tongue and pen to
intepret wisely. The non thinking, non
acting and non progressing class of teach
ers should be pruned away by the Exam
iner or Superintendent, and teachers
should be compelled to plan and organize
their school work.
Should an architect or master builder,
without exhibiting any plans or specif-
cations, say to corps of green hands in
his employ, Build this house." you
would be astonished 10 see that house.
You might look in vain for its likeness in
all the earth. When a teacher merely
says to pupils, "Get the next lesson"
should he or she wonder at their super
fetal, bungling and imperfect recitations |?
We repeat that teachers should and must
be compelled to plan and organize the
minuti@ if their school work and duties,
or our common schools will retrograde.
and sink back decade and at last be bur
ried into oblivion. To make our common
schools more efficient there should be a
less number of books. Their quality
should be improved, If practicable, and the
number diminished. The number and
variety of classes consequent on the di-
versity of text books, cripples the efforts
OF both teacher and pupil, and opens the
door to the enemies ofcommon schools to
exclaim with what may be true in a grea,
measure that our common schools are 8

The Gate City Canal Opened.

The Gate City Canal Opened.
Keokuk, August 22.-The govern
ment canal around Desmoines rapids of
the Mississippi river here was opened
formally to-day with suitable display.
There was large attendance. The
officers in charge express themselves
entirely satisfied with the working of
the. e.machinery. The rapids have been
the greatest obstruction to navigation
in the river, and in low water were
always impossible, and the cost of
transportation of goods and passengers
around them by rail.wil now be saved.
The amount thus saved will exceed
800, 900 annually. The canal is 76
miles long and 300 feet wide, extending
along the Iowa shore from Keokuk to
Nashville. The minimum depth lis
5 feet. The fall is 133 feet. An earth
embankment from 60 to 30 feet wide at
the bottom and 10 feet wide at. the top
encloses the canal. There are three
locks, $50 feet long and 80 wide. of cut
stone masonry, and cost 1876, 900. The
lower lock Is at Keokuk. The gates

They Refused to Strike.

They Refused to strike.
Streator, August 22.-Meetings have
been held here every few days for the
last three weeks, and attempts made
by emissaries from Braidwood, LaSalle,
and other places where the men are out
on strike, to induce our miners here to
quit work. At one or two meetings
which were controlled by these out
siders it was voted to strike, but the
regular miners refused to be bound by
the acts of the outsiders and went on
with their work as usual. However,
so much uncertainty existed because of
these attempts to get the men to quit
that on yesterday they held a meeting
to which none were admitted except
those who are now regularly at work
here, and after full discussion they,
by vote Of moro than five to one
decided not to strike. This shows
clearly, what has been well known to
those who are familiar with affairs
here, that the larger part of the trouble
here has been caused by outsiders and
men who were not at work at all. Du-
ring the last week nearly 200 men
from places where strikes are in pro-
gress have been here importuning and
and threatening to get our miners
to strike, but the vote of last
night will show that it is hopeless eff
fort. There is general rejoicing among
business men at this sensible course.

Ways That are Dark.

Cleveland, August 22.-The Wood
ruff Sleeping Car company, suspecting
that it was not receiving all the money
received from passengers under the
jurisdiction of General Superintendent
N. F. Ellsworth, arrested Ellsworth
and Agent Ross. The former was
charged with receiving $1,000 as a
brfbe from Ross, who, it is alleged,
recently embezzled $1,000. 1t is
thought Ellsworth embezzled too, but
it is not known how extensive his
operations are. The crime was discov.
cred by comparing from the reports OF
the conductors.

Harrisburg, August 22.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention assembled here
to-day, and after organizing, took re-
cess until evening.
After recess the committee on resolu-
tions reported as follows:
1. That the induction of Hayes into
office despite the election of Tilden was
a high crime against the Government,
which has not been condoned, and will
not be forgotten, and the patriotism
which forebore contest on the first Of
tense will punish the second.
2. That the application of the Demo-
cratic policy by the Federal admins
tration, in regard to Southern affairs,
and the happy effect experienced, am
ply vindicates our protests against in
tervention in State affairs.
8. The present administration pro-
claimed its intention to reform the CIV
il service is a confession Of the failure
of Radicalism and a tribute to the
Democracy.
4. Both State and Federal legislation
have too highly favored capital COM
bined in corporate organizations, and
its demand for larger returns are in,
consistent with the laboring and bust,
ness interests of the country. We op'
pose further enactments for its special
benefit at the expense Of other interests
Labor and capital should have no cause
for antagonism, and they should be left
free to adjust their own relations. The
right to contract freely should exist fol
both parties.

Says the Arizona Citizen: There is
no opportunity for agricultural colonies
to thrive here; because at this time no
large body Of unoccupied land with
water can be obtained. The worst fea-
lures of common colonists, is the cer-

false basis and information upon which
they are induced to come. 1t is safe for
the Eastern press to discourage the
formation of all colonies for Arizona.
