FREE schools have given birth to the
commune, and the commune hives upon
revolution and blood. In Massschu-
setts and Pennsylvania and other
Northern States we have seen anarchy
supreme, with life and property held
as naught. These States with their
enlightened" systems Of education,
are producing more tramPs and vag-
sbonds than any other portion OF the
Union. They are sweeping down upon
the South, and misfortunes never COM
ing single handed, We are to have these
same blessed free schools. in which the
love of home and Of father end mother
are destroyed and Communists pro-
duced. Europe delights In the luxuri-
ous systems, and Frederick William
educates the multitude, that royal as
sassins may be produced. Now it turns
ont that the autocrat Of all the Rus
slams, under whom serfdom has beer

A LITTLE PLAIN TRUTEA.

II Grant were bad man who would
mislead ignorance, he might as easily
be emperor to-day as q private citizen.
II he were as good and great as Rad
icalism and the bond-holders would
have US believe, these selfish, all-grasp-
ing thieves would not so anxiously
desire Grants reelection. AS between
Tilden and Grant, the former having
just converted his stock in the New
York Elevated Railway into $4, 500, 900,
1t becomes the organs and adherents of
these bondholders to support Tilden
or Grant. Grant and Tildeu do not
differ on the main question. Garfield,

used the government for fifteen years

to gild the East with gold-we find
all these pretending to manifest the
profoundest interest in the freedom

stage thunder; an attempt to divert
popular attention from national to sec
tiopsl views. Tilden's elevated rail-
way stock is used to elevate himself.
He would have the South again in
open conflict with North. He sacrifices
States that he may rise upon their

lends itself to his selfish purposes.
But the people and press, except the
Inter Oceans, Globe Democrats and their

holding Tilden-Democracy, stand sloof.

1t may be stated just here that the
reports of thirty-Lwo asylums taken at
random show only 2s.3 per cent. of
cures, most unfavorable comparison
with this Texas institution, that shows
81 ss per cent. OF cures on admissions.
But everything about the institution
hes been kept In state conducive to
this large per cent. of cures. The

the faces OF attendants and Of many of
the unfortunate inmates to whom DIR.
Wallace has Sd kindly administered
for years. Not only was this feeling
exhibited to DIR. Wallace, but to Mrs.
Wallace, who has for years performed
the post OF matron with an ability and
tirmness never equaled before in this
Texas institution. DIR. Given, assist

their resignanons, and the same spirit
of kindness was extended to these

But it was the purpose Of this re-
