Mn. MIonEts, Of tho Carson Appedi
insists that General Grant shall DO the
Republican standard bearer in 1880.
Hear him: Grant for President in
1880 Is the synonym OF party unity
among Republicans throughout this
naticn, and no cowardly e1pediency
will dictate the administration to be
nominated In that year. The divisions
in party councils TINT took their origin
at Cincinnati in 1875 are the sbackles
that tho Republicans have broken in this
year Of grace, 1878, and tho virility Of
tho unionisis who saved the Republic
will manifest itself viotoriously in 1880.
The sersitude to which tho grand old
party has been subjected for two years
will only magnify the splcndor OF It's
self ensaat! patton"

THE popular feeling against "fancy
studies" in st. Louis has taken shape
in petition for an injunction restrain
ing the Directors of the public schools
from having any language but English
taught in tho schools, and also requir-
ing the Board to abolish all branches OF
study outside OF the common English
course. There is no doubt that this
xuesIion sooner or later is going to at
tract attention all over the country.
There is growing tendency to crowd
too many studies into the average pub
lie school course, and the result is TINT
pupils become proficient in nothing.
The day Is coming when the English
language will be thought quite enough
in the way Of liugual accomplishment
Tor public school pupil to possess. II
he becomes perfect in that language he
will know quite as much as the average
citizen who is taxed to teach him.
