The outspoken Democratic papers of
Wisconsin who preserve a consistency
which does them credit by adhering
to the hard-money traditions of the
Democratic party. are making trouble
for those Democratic politicians who
are anxious to surrender their princi-
pies and aid the Greenback movement
simply in the hope of securing "a
change in certain offices without any
possibility of the political advance
ment of active Democrats as repre-
sentatiEes of the Democratic party.

A TEACHER who values his reputation
hopld not teach in district poorly
ISapplied with books, as the most lie
can possibly hope for is to keep what
he has.
THERE are less than a half dozen
teachers who have tried to delude us
as to what they were really doing. 1t
hardly pays. The exact and white
truth is very good article to wear,
although it does not always appear SO
servicable rs a parable.
The following have taught drawing
by various systems, mostly Krusi's.
Several of them have purchased
Smiths Manual for next terms work:
Ada Moore, Lucy Wilcox, S. Brown,
Addie Everett, Clara Heaiy, Nancy
Cornelison, Elva Moscrip, Anna Spald-
ing, Anna Whip.
II your children in the first reader
or primer read but twice each day,
you are justified in complaining. If
the teacher pleads the slime" excuse.
he is giving too much attention to his
larger and to some more Interesting
classes. partly because it is less labo-
borious to conduct recitations in

that the teacher gave them only oral
| work, put black mark against the
teacher S name. If they say they had
written work, at first making figures.
tlen writing numbers and working in
the fundamental rules upon examples
given by the teacher, lifted to their
progress, then give the teacher cred
it mark, and even a word of approval
| is not always lost.
| AMERICANS have not yet learned to
control the hand in fine work. The
lest writers are foreigners. We have
grasped the ak and piow handle for
50 many generations that our fingers
are more clumsy than the Germans or
Efenchman's, or even some Asiatic's S.
They beat us where skill in the use of
| the forearm is needed. When the
| forests are cleared and the prairies
lroken, we shall improve in delicate
lsanipulations. Drawing in our schools
would help us along.
THE practice of placing house plants
| in "A school and adding to its attrac-
| tsveness is much to be commended.
Many good results come from it. We
have been highly gratilied with the
taste thus shown. Let every teacher
adorn his home next summer in this
manner. 1t assists discipline. 1t is
nowhere more needed and proper than
in an old or inferior school house. A
climber or two is desirable in the
windows. Make the child's home just
as beautiful and attractive as possible,
and it will react on his disposition and
yours.
THE following have taught drawing
during the summer, using Walter
Smiths system. 1t cannot be long be-
fore it will be required in all schools
of Wisconsin. The whole list deserves
a credit mark from school boards and
patrons. The world moves even in

THoUGH we have entertained the
opinion that the Democrats of the
Eighth District would unite with the
Greenbackers and support speaker
Barrows, the nominee of the latter for
Congress. the following extract from
Democratic letter to the Chicago
Times concerning the situation of at
fairs in that district would indicate an
indefinite postponement of the nnp-
tials of the Greenback and Democratic
parties: ssThe Eighth District Demo-
Gratis are implacable, with few ex-
captions. Those who are in favor of
ratifying the nomination of Speaker
A. X. Barrows, the Greenback candi-
date, are largely in the minority, and
the rupture between the Democrats
and Greenbackers is widening. A
Democratic convention will be called
in September, at which, Gilbert l..
Park, present Judge of the Seventh
Circuit, will he nominated for Congress
on the honest money platform. All
the Democratic papers in this District
favor this course, and thus there will
be triangular contest with pretty
nearly certainty that Thad. Pound,
the Republican candidate. will De
elected by a large majority. Early
in the year the Democrats generally
expected to nominate Barrows, and he
would as a joint candidate, doubtless
have been elected. But the enterpris-
ing Greenbackers i'll forestalling DEM
ocratic action and cutting loose from
the coalition brought Speaker Barrow's
career to an untimely close In their
excessive zeal 1t Is barely possible that
the Greenbackerss the Eighth have
gone little too far in their attempt
to practically bulldoze body of DEM
ocrats which greatly exceeds their own
number, and that they will be taught
an Instructive lesson by the candidacy
of Judge Park, supported by just
enough conscientious honest money
Democrats to Insure Pounds election.
In such an event the Democrats will
lay Barrows away with Charley Parker
as being of no further practical utili-
ty to the Democratic party.

Those who howl SO dismally about
the building up of an aristocracy of
untaxed bondhoIders by the Republic
can party should bear in mind ; First,
that the necessity which compelled the
Government to issue and sell these
bonds was forced upon it by a rebel
lion of Democrats. Second, that un-
der the provisions of the Constitution
of the United States such bonds can
not be taxed. Third, that this very
important public document bears a
date something like eighty years an
terror TO the organization of the Re-
publican party, and for the perpetuity
of the Government the provisions pro-
hibiting the taxation of Government
bonds was Il wise one, dramatically
opposed to the dangerous doctrine of
States rights which precipitated the
late civil war.

A PEACEFUL ASPECT.
IN. o. Democrat

For some days past the
commercial world has been
much disturbed by the threat
ening aspect of affairs in the
Eastern part Of Europe. The
progress of Russia towards
the suhjugation OF Turkey had
excited serious alarm in the
Western nations, and no,ab!y
in Great Britain, with which
country our commercial in
tercs:s are SO closely inetr-
twined that any agitation or
disturbance thereof produces
an immediate and important
effect upon our trade and our
every interest. Our immense
cotton trade is peculiarly af-
lectvd by any such disturb
ance. owing to the large accu-
mutation OF that staple at this
port. Our factors and recelv-
crs. who have made advances
Feliciana sentinel. [volume] (St. Francisville, La.) 1877-1892, 1878-03-09

on their receipts, are largely
dependent upon the early and
prompt realization of good
prices for this commodity.
Such prices would be greatly
endangered by warlike en-
gagements of Great Britain or
any disturbance of her COM
mercial and financial exchan-
ges. Hence the depressing
effects of the seemingly SEN
sational news of last week, in
dicating a belligerent attitude
on the part of this great pow
er. Happily the latest intelli-
gencc rather dissipates these
apprehensions and induces Il
general belief in the early and
satisfactory adjustment OF the
Russiac-Turkish question.
Russia has evidently modi.
fed her tone and terms. Its
immaterial to inquire how
this change has been brought
about-whether or not it is
due to the menacing attitude
so suddenly assumed by
Great Britain, with a cautious
Endorsement by Austria; but
very certainly Turkeys cons
queror has manifested a pru>
dent reserve against giving
any pretext for the interview
ton of the greatest naval pow
er of Europe in the new ar
rangement and distribution of
the consequences of her great
conquest.
1t is equally certain that
Great Britain does not inter. d
to stand IDLY and indifferently
looking on, while the Chris
tian world are made the sub
.jects of negotiation and settles
ment between the two bellig-
erent powers. There can be
no doubt that the English
Ministry has assumed a de-
cided attitude in relation to
the arrangements to be made
between these two nations,
and it is most probable that
they will recognize the right
of England to intervene there's
in, and will concede the terms
which that power has land
down. Hence the peaceful as
pect Of the news OF yesterday.
