THR attention Of our readers is called
to the condition of the Memphis city
schools, as set forth in the reports of
Superintendent Lsath and the finance
committee. The schools are not what
we would like to see them, due to the
want Of sufficient money for their main
tenence on a scale equal to the system
that prevails in other cities. Knoxville
is blessed with city schools, aud in speak.
ing Of these institutions the Tribune
says:
The citizens Of Rockville viii no
doubt read with satisfaction tie report
Of the board Of examiners in regard TO
our city schools. The document is quite
comprehensive and laudatory, yet it in
no point trsnscends the bound of de.
served commentator. After q hard
struggle through a series of u~nfavorable
years, our city system OF public schools
has at last reached a point of excellence
that justi6es it's special friends and sup.
porters in pointing to it as the ornament,
the blessing and the pride of the city.

only field trial Of the week Messrs Smith &
Heating entered the Farst & Bradley star

tered the New Era, made by the Chicago
Pow Co. The trial was conducted with
great thoroughness. The committee selected
comprised Messrs. G.. Wight, j. " Filzger-

termined to arrive at the real merit as be-
tween the two. The ground was very trashy
with cut corn stalks and sun flowers aud was
almost TOO dry, The star was fret put to test
aud was closely followed by the committee
Measurements were taken frequentiy anc
the burrows were ordered 1T all depths from
three to eight inches. She work was admir-
able at all Gepihs-no clogging. and trash per-
iecily covered. The New Era was put
through the same course and the work Done
was fair. II was Aot, however, possible to
secure good work at shallow depths. After
one trial the teams were changed but with

State Normal School.

The burning of the State Normal
School building at Emporia Is a sad
atfai. and is loss TO the State Of near
" $4,000 lie; the next Legislature
make no appropriation for its re.
erection at Enporia. But il an APP
preparation is made. put it at Topeka
where the whole State can realize the
benefit and also have it under the
watchful care of orr State officers al
all times. Let no political influence
affect the matter. but let the people
unite upon the idea of Calf State in
stitutions at the State capital.-POftd-
syotomic chief.
We douot agree with the above. We
see no reason why the Normal School
should not be rebuilt at Emporia. That
city has expended much on the Normal
School, and if it is rebuilt at all. as we
think il should be, there is every rea
son why il should be at EmpOria
Normal Schools are different from the
beneficiary institutions of the State.
aud the reasons why they should be
together do not hold in regard to them.
- Com MORsce0iih.
The burning OF the school building
was great misfortune to the State
and TO the many scholars in attend
ance, but much greater misfortune
to the city of Emporia but all that l.
10 reason why the school should be
relocated, absorbed or destroyed.

Another European War.

The New York 1rituac's Washing
ton correspondent says the opinion has
been expressed within q few days, at
one of the legations there most likely
to be informed in regard to the con-
dition of affairs between the various
foreign governments, that war between
England aud Russia cannot be avoided
nor very long delayed. As to compli-
cations likely to ensue, the opinion is
further expressed that indications al!
point strongly t, ard a general Eu-
ropcan war.
The Russian peopl, # We arc to be-
leye their leading journsl, the st. Pc
tersburg Golos, are unhesi:atingiy in
favor Of renewal Of the war. The
inevitable crisis in the Eastern, qucs-
ton, the G0i0S says, is at hand, and,
as if 10 emphasize the statement, a re-
port comes from Constantinople that
60. COO Russians have entered Roumelia
by way of Bourgas. A fresh war
would, OF course, involve England, and
what the end would be no one can
predict.
4 number of Russian agents have
been in this country, for several
months past, purchasing large quan'i-
ties of munitions of war, aud it is re-
ported that their presence and bust
ness has excited the Indignation of the
British authorities, who think our
Government ought to interfere. As
there has been no declaration OF war,
however, il is clearly not the business
of the Government TO act in the mat
ipf.

The recurrence of that season at
which ii is the habit of our people to
make devout aud-public confession OF

ant haryests, p Productive mines, ample
crops OF staples of trade and manu-
features, have enriched the country.
The resources thus furnished to our
reviving industry aud expanding com
meree are fastening the day when dis
cords and distresses, through the
length and breadth of the land will,
under tie continued favor CT Provi-
dence, have given way to confidence
and energy and assured prosperity.
Peace with all nations has remained
unbroken, domestic tranquility has
prevailed, and the instita,:ons of iib-
erty and Justice which the wisdom
and virtue of our forefathors estab-
lished remain the glory and defense OF
their children. The general preva-
lence of the blessings OF health through
ont our wide lani has made more con-
spicuous the suifsr:mgs and sorrows
which the dark shadow of pestiienec
has cast upon portion of our people
This heavy affection even the Divine
Ruler has tempered to the suffering
an universal! sympathy
and succor have flowed to their relief.
and the whole nation may rejoice In

The Result In Sedgw;ck County.


The table given elsewhere is nearly
complete and shows triumph of the
Republican party in every position.
except that of Representative in the
92uGDistrict. VIM. Greitiinstein the
Mayor of Wichita seems to be elected
BY six votes 10 the legislation. This
city of which he is mayor and in
which he has 81 very large personal
following, gave him over one hun
drcd majority. The result will be a
general surprise TO people living
away from here, but not to those who
know the man and his personal
friends. Still upon the whole the
Republicans of Sedgwick County have
nothing to be sorry for. The figh,
was a practical combination of the
Democrats aud greenbackers against
the Republicans which last party cleo
ted every man on its ticket except the
one named.

Tho Speech q the Canvas.

After having read with no inconsid-
cradle care the speeches Of Garfield,
Conkling, Scburz, Blaine aud Esar'r,
10 say nothing Of the enunciations Of
such recognized national Democratic
lights as Thurman Hendricks and
Seymour, upon the living issues Of the
hour, we could not conceive that
there was anything left worth hear
ing; but the speech of Senator Plumb
last Thursday evening most thorough
ly upset our predictions in that d.
rection. As the conscious master of
the situation the Senator commenced
at the very foundation of all national
finances and monetary systems, and,
with concise, close logic, only equal
ed by its good hard sense, dispeiled the
fog that had been thrown around that
subject by designing dcmagogucs and
| ignorant but self-sufficient Office seek
ers. His manner was that of the ex-
pert who knows no failure, his oratory
the plainest English, while his conclu-
sions had all the force OF fate. Without
appealing to history CT past expert
ences, without denouncing the mis-
guided fiat advocate or his dangerous
theory, he demonstrated the legiti
mate aud only possible and disas roas
results Of the whole wild theory. The
causes of the financial results of '37.
81, and '73, were shown; the causes
and only remedy for the present de-
preston given in a way that no intel
ligent nearer doubted. The Senator's
estimate of the two great parties, their
history, the full performance Of each.
and the bearings upon our national
welfare OF the promises of each as set
forth in their National aud State plat
forms, VIII not soon be forgotten by
hose who heard him. In all respects
and in every particular the Senator's
speech proved the speech of the cam
paign.
Judge Nathan Price, of Doniphan
county. one of the old wheel horses of
the Radical party of Kan.as, who has
been honored often but not halt as
many times as he deserved, followed
the Senator in brief and telling
speech full of good points aud charac-
teristic votes. His time was too short
for set effort, but he stirred up an
irrcpressible enthusiasm with every
sentence.
