In the inaugural address Of George l..
Maris, President of the Pennsylvania
State Teachers Association, delivered at
Erie, the following hearty tribute was
paid to the educational system OF Michi-
gan, especially to that feature OF it which
SO intimately connects the public schools
and the University: nt
"In America the best system of schools
is to be found in Michigan and Massa-
chusetts. In the former state the ideas
advanced in the colonial days OF the lat
ter have been most fully developed.
While Massachusetts, has good system
of elementary and secondary schools, she
has failed to carry out her system to. its
logical end--a regular graduation from
the primary classes to complete uni
versity course, Had she continued her
system so we'll begun two hundred years
ago, and made Harvard University the
eliminating point of a grand organiza-
ton extending over the entire state. 50
that the whole were governed by the uni
versity, as head. she would to-day de-
serve the proud distinction ofrivaling the

its influence upon the union schools

Farther along in his address Mr.. Maris
says: Michigan fills an important
place among the younger states of our
sisterhOOd of republics, but there is no
brighter gem In her cOrOnet than the
broad liberty she displays towards her

a rule that, when fireman is appointed

Chandler on the origin of Buslerism.

From his Speech at Worcester, Mass.
/ am informed that a new Organiza-
tiOn has been formed in the state of
Massachusetts,, an organization COM
posed of divers and sundry conflicting
elements. It's called in Massachusetts,
new organization, but it's old; it's very
old. This Butler party was old in the
time of the last war. The elements of
which it is composed were old in the
time Of the revolutionary war. 1t was
old when the pilgrims landed on the
rock in Massachusetts, bay. 1t was old
when Columbus discovered America. 1t
was old when our Savior was born.
Laughter and applause. 1t was more
than thousand years old when our
Savior was born, and if you turn to the
first book of Samuel, xxi. 2, you will
find the Butler party of Massachusetts
accurately described in these words:
"And every one that was in distress, and
every one that was in debt, and every
one that was disconnected, gathered
themselves unto him, and he became
captain over them; and there was with
him about 400 men,, loud laughter and
they were called in Olden times the
"Adullamites, because all these classes
gathered in the cave Adulfam.

THE GEORGIA TREASURER.
Conclusion Of the Suit Against Treasurer
Jones for Paying the Same Bonds Twice.
PHILADELPHIA Times. !

notable trial has just been concluded at
Atlanta. In 1860 John Jones was elected
Treasurer OF Georgia, and he held on to the
Office through the war and after 1t until the
State was put under military rule. In 1878,
when the Democrats had regained control Of
the State, he was elected again to his old POSI-
tion, and held it until November, 1875, when
the Governor discovered that Honest Jack
Jones" had been guilty of serious irregulari-
ties, and removed him. The most serious Of
Tense was the payment OF S149, $50 on bonds
which had been cancelled, but there were any
quantity of minor peecadilloes, and the ac-
1t cost the State $4,000 simply to
straighten them out. In May, 1876,
an auditor was appointed to find out just
how much Honest Jack" had swindled the
treasury out OF, and he filed O report not long
ago that Jones was indebted to the State In
the sum of 1854 600, exclusive of several
years interest. A suit which the Governor
had brought over three years ago against the
ex-treasurer's bondsmen was thereupon
pressed to an Issue. and the trial has occupie /
nearly a fortnight. The best lawyers In the
State we're engaged on one side or the other,
Bob Toombs leading the array OF counsel for
the State and Ben Hill heading the list fer the
defendants. The jury took thirty eight hours
to reach decision, and then found verdict
of 1872, 1876 for the State. The defendants will
ii the verdict is sustained 1t Is doubtful
whether the State will ever get the money, as
the bondsmen, though once among the rich
est men in Georgia, are both reported to be
bankrupt now.
