It Is reported from Washington that " sr.Goy.
ernor BigeF does not accept the position Of hon
orary commissioner for Psnnsy vana to the Paris
Exposition the President will offer Il 70 Colon el
W. W. II Davis, OF Doylestown. The Colonel
would make a hfst-rate representative in this fo-
spect, and bis acceptance Of the api ointment
sould put at rest any doubts that might esist q,
to the legality Of the Presidrnt's title. No good
Democrat could receive such dittinction at th'
hsbds Of q fraudulent President"
We know that Governor Bigler will
not accept any such position. Th,
Governor happened to bc at New Or
leans last fall, and knows exactly how
Hayes got his seat. And if be can &c
arrange his private business, he pro
poses to visit the Paris Exposition
during the summer. As Gov. Biglel
is one Of the few who prevented oaI
Exhibition from proving failure, !
would have been proper to have ten
dered him the highest position at th'
Paris display.

A ALE MILLION T0 EDUCA TIE
ADULTS,

About the coolest proposition we
have noticed for some time, is a recon
mcndation adopted by the Superin-
tendents and Trustees of the State Nor.
NAL Schools asking the Legislature for
an appropriation of s510 900 to be paid
in insialmenis Of 10000 per annnm.
to be equally divided among the Nor.
NAL Schools Of the State aud to BE- up.
propriatcd for the purpose OF paying
off their Indebtedness. 1t is about time
for the people of the Commonwealth
to take notice Of the various proposi.
tions annually made to bleed the State
Treasury. Among Others. this prnpo.
sition of the Normal School hcggar-
should be reviewed. These institutions
have bcon ibslercd by being parity sup
ported by the State, ON tho theory
that they are n necessary adjunct To
the common school systcm the nlcn-
iion being that those pupils who re.
ceive 10 much per capita weekly from
the State, shall repay the boon BY de.
voting themselves to teaching in the
public schools after they have com
passed their education. We under.
stand that some pledge OF this kind Is
cxacted Of pupils before they enter on
their studies in the Normal Schools.
Yet It is questionable whether one
third of those who secure an education
nnder such conditions, live M To
tham aner caving thu school. Hence
tho State IL deliberately deiraudcd, and
the young man or woman guilty, starts
out with the stigma Of having commit
ted very immoral act. Moreover, all
who invest their means in Normal
Schools, do 1t ~ matter Of gain. They
propose to reap per centagc on their
investment, the same as if they had
subscribed for stock in o bank or any
other private corporation, And after
having done 20, if they can, through a
Board Of Trustees, aided by the Prin.
cipal Of the institution, in combination
with similar force, either wheedle OF
bull dozc the Legislature into voting
away State money TO pay their debts
II shows that they are pretty sharp
lobbyists We feel no objection to the
State appropriating liberqlly towards
tho Normal Schools, IT has always
done so, but they seem never TO bo sat
ished, but, like the mother Of tho horse
lcech, they still cry for more When
they come at such lines as these and
demand half million dollars to pay
the debts Of lot Of private institn
iions, the people may well begin to in
quirc whether, in addition to devotinu

there are few men in the national

but he is as little likely to fall into
dangerous heresy or to throw any dis
credit upon the honor of the nation as
any man that western Legislature
could send to the Senate, and since the
views that he holds are the views of
the people of Ohio, the State could not
do better Mr.. Pendleton will be a
worthy colleague OF Mr.. Thurman

to show an ADLER representation in the
