just possible that they would come to the
conclusion that the luxury would hardly re-
pay the cost. He tells the people that the
paper promises to pay are worthless substl-
tutes for tsthe measure of value," and will
result, if favored, in disaster and shame.
Eo pronounces the theory that paper cur
rency, rendered legal tender for all debts
made the equivalent of gold for the payment
of duties-is theory cognate to the doc
trines of communism and internationalism
which menace society, individual liberty and
the accumulated savings of industry. This
is pretty strong language, and Mr.. Rublee
may be surprised to discover how many COM
munists the State of Wisconsin contains
after he has looked over the returns of the
election next fall.
Of course Mr.. Rublee's platform would
not be complete without some denunciation
of the Democratic party. He is evil
IDENTIFY hard up for an excuse for
that denunciation, but finally discovers it
in Gan attempt to disarm the national gov
eminent, and seeking to debase the currency
and arrest all progress towards resumption y
The Democratic act tending to 'disarming
of the national government was a prohibi
ton against the use of the army for political
purposes. Its acts for the debasenent of the
currency were the RECOMMENDATION of the
silver dollar and an attempt to make green
backs legal tender for the payment OF
duties. If it be debasement to require the
government to take its own currency at its
face value, then the Democratic party is
guilty of attempting to debase the currency
and wishes it's guilt to be written on tablets
of imperishable marble wishes every man
woman and child in the country to under
stand that it is guilty.
Mr.. Rublee, some may think, has tran.
scended his authority in thus defining the
platforms of the Congressional conventions
Not so. Harmony is essential to the success
of the party; unenimity is of the utmost
consequence. Rublee is the only man il
the State who 10 wholly unanimous as to
| policy, and it is far better that a platform
should be adopted in harmony than in dis
cord and contention. There is always NOR,
or less contention over the adoption Of
platform, and Mr.. Rublee, by removing tn
cause of the contentlon-by adopting plat
! form for the conventions-has assured har
mony. No course could have been wiser
To give convention the privilege of acting
for itself is only to encourage dissensions ant
disputes which may divide and weaken tn
party.

SUPERINTENDENT or SCHOOLS.

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
The GLOBE having regarded the Board of
Education as competent to determine the
question Of the SUPPLEMENTARY of the pub
lie schools, has devoted its space to more en-
tertaining matter than the, interminable
squabble which has been in progress for
weeks. A dead lock has now been reached
by the Board, and the ability of that body to
decide seems to be questionable. At present
the contest appears to have narrowed down
to choice between Prof. Wright, of the
High School, and Prof. Hall, new conner
from Covington, Kentucky.
This entire squabble over the superintend-
ency has been exceedingly unfortunate and
demoralizing to the schools. 1t is time that
the row was ended, and ended forever, and
to make selection which will terminate it,
should be the great aim of the board.
Whether rishtlyor wrongly, Prof. Wright
has been regarded as party in interest in
the matter, and his friends have accordingly
been arrayed as partisans against the present
incumbent. This, Of course, has generated
bad blood, and the selection of Prof. Wright
would lead to continuation of the difficulties
which have heretofore existed. The same
remark would apply to the promotion of
any teacher in the schools to the Superin-
tendency. We do not need to consider their
fitness from an educational or executive
stand point, because circumstances have dis
qualified in them other respects. There can
De no local selection made which will pro-
dUce peace and harmony. Prof. Wright's
other business engagements would prevent
his giving his undivided attention to the
schools, as the Superintendent certainly
should, and it would be to his disadvantage
to obtain place which compelled him to re-
linquish his outside duties.
AS to whether Prof Hall is the man for
the place, the GLOBE is not prepared to say.
He comes highly recommended by many of
our own citizens who have known him in
another field of labor. We do not, however,
regard him as necessarily Prof. Wrght's
only competitor, and can see no necessity
for dead lock upon these two gentlemen.
We do, however, feel decidedly clear that
the best interests of the public
schools demand the selection of a
superintendent who is not only
thorough educator, but who is
also entirely disconnected from all the bick-
erings which have of late marred the useful
ness of the schools. Let the Board of Ed
ucation give us new and clean slate, and
see if the energies of the public cannot be
directed towards fostering and building up
the schools instead of seeking to scandalize
them and destroy those having them in
charge.

HORACE RUB1EE,s sr4rfsnANsH1p

HORACE RUBLEE'S SrdTFSMdNSHIP.
Mr.. Horace Rublee is a model leader. For
many years-except during his sojourn in
Switzerland as United States minister-he
has been the recognized leader of the Re-
publican party of Wisconsin. On his own
shoulders he has carried the sins of the
party, but as he generally moulded It's policy
he cannot complain at the burden he has
sometimes been forced to bear. His policy,
however, does not meet with the favor that
he very naturally desires that it should. He
has an unfortunate habit of thinking that he
and he alone of all the Republicans of the
State of Wisconsin possesses political sagac-
ity, and acting upon this conviction, he gen
orally insists upon framing the policy of the
party without regard for the ideas of others,
or without consulting them. This very nat
urally creates dissatisfaction with Mr..
Rublee, especially as his views differ widely
from the opinions of the great mass of the
party throughout the State.
Mr.. Rublee has just met, organized him
self, and adopted a platform, which he de-
clares must be Endorsed by the various Re-
publican Congressional conventions that are
to be held in the State between the present
time and November. He does not regard it
as necessary that he should ascertain the
wishes of the people who are to form these
conventions. They must all frame their
platf> rms according to the rule laid down
by him, whether they agree with him or not.
While Mr.. Rublee is undoubtedly unani-
nous, it may be questioned whether the con-
ventions to whom he dictates a policy will
be as unanimous, especially on the currency
question, which forms so impo1 tant part
of his platform.
MI. Rublee rejoices in the prospect of the
resumption of specie payments by the close
of the present year, and INDUCES in hom-
lily illustrative of the benefits to business
that will accrue from such result. He for
gets to point to the ten thousand failures,
aggregating three hundred millions of dol
lars, that have marked the path of the re-
sumptionists during the past year. A refer
ence to such widespread disaster resultant
from the effort to attain Mr.. Rublee's end,
might set the people to thinking, and it is

young man convicted of devious practices
had pledged his valise for the payment of
his counsel's fee, but on emerging from
jail he demanded its return without liqui-
dating the claim. The demand was refused,
whereupon the ex jail bird proceeded to
settle the dispute BY filing the attorney full
of leaden bullets. This style may become
popular in Arkansas, but there is little dan
ger that it will spread as far as Minnesota.
