All this is now changed. 1t is not very
easy to tell precisely the reasons, but the
fact is that the Republicans are at this time
encouraged and hopeful, apd the Demo
Gratis know that defeat is looking them in
the face. The main reason, perhaps: is
that the session has perccptibly increased
the dsscnsions in the Democratic party and
its general dcmoralzatiou as an organization,
while the Republicans arc, undoubtedly,
more united than when the session opened.
The Democratic party as it is assembled
here, has too many officers and too few pri
Yates. If MIR. Banning, Of Ohio, could
enforce on his party such measure as the
army reorganization bill-a measure rctir-
ing ON half pay or no pay, large share Of
the Democratic commanders-ths would
greatly help it, 1t is as they say the army
is, greatly over. offccrcd. 1t has too many
Presidential candidates, too many candi-
dates for the Speakership, too many men
who would like to be chairmen Of commit
tees, or who are or would like to be eminent
in some way, and each Of whom is engaged
in cutting the throats Of all the others, or,
to speak more accurately, in undermining
rivals.
TIE NAME OE GRANT.
The Democrats arc torn to pieces by
energetic Presidential candidates, while the
Republicans rally about the name of Grant,
with whom they arc confident Of beating
Sherman if the astutc secretary of the treas
ury should loom up too strong in the con-
vcntion, and whom they can drop if it
should at any time be convenient to drop
him for some one else than Shcrman.-
They owe more than they are willing to
to confess in this matter to their President
If Mr.. Hayes, like Gen. Grant in 1876
had hankcring for another term, or it,
like Jackson, he were bent on advancing
the fortunes Of iavoritc, or, like Buch-
anan, on marring those Of some one he
detcstcd, his party would to-day be in even
more dcmorallZcd condition than the
Democrats. But the President does net
want II second term and has no candidate
of his own he leaves Presidential rival
rics entirely alone, and the party machinery
moves, therefore, without any friction from
the White House. The Republican can
ddates are not fighting each othcr--at
beast, not to the par:y's injury. No one Of
them is in haste to commit himself or his
party to any particular policy for 1880, and
the Republicans have the further advan-
tage that they occupy the interior lincs-to
use military tcrm-thc States they count
on carrying are in the centre, while the
Democrats arc troubled with an Eastern
and Western policy, each irrcconciablc
with the othcr-uot to speak Of South
ern policy of internal improvements and
subsidies, which is opposed both in the East
aud West.
CANDIDATES AND POLICIES.
AS politics stand at this time, the Repub-
lean Presidential candidates represent sub.

THE FAVORED FEW IN OUR HIGH
SCHOOLS.

The editor Of the Peoria National Demo
crat, has fired some very effective broad
sides, of late, into the abuses that have
crept into our common school system.
Referring to the Peoria High School, winch
may be taken as fair average sample OF
all our High Schools, he makes the follow
ing damaging disclosure:
In the course Of the sharp discussion in
the Board Of School Inspectors, last Friday
evening, the fact was dereloped that one
third Of the whole time OF the principal Of
the high school last year-and for aught we
know every years. taken up exclusively
in teaching Greek to from five to dozen
scholars, every one of whom are well able
to take lessons of private tutor whose in
stfdctions will be much more thorough
than that of the principal. The principal
last year received 81, 800, and by a vote of
the board of School Inspectors he is TO re-
ceive $500 again this year. One third of
1900 is $500, Now here is sum of $500
spent on say five young men and women,
for Greek IN the high school, while literal
~ hundreds of children down In the Sixth
and Ninth wards cannot set instruction
even IN spelling their alb, abs, because
there is no school house of any description
in which they can be instructed, while the
parents OF these children, many of whom
are poor, pay taxes on their little stock of
household goods, COW or pig or dray,
to pay this $500 expended for teaching
Greek to high school scholars, one OF whom
is an inspectors son, and that inspector u
banker, and one Of the wealthiest men in
the town, able TO build the finest residence
on the most fashionable street in the city.
We fail to see the justice, the righteous
ness, the honor or the honesty, Of such
policy.

The character Of the man renders hIa
story very curious one. We refer to the
story by Prof W. F, Harper, the principal
of the Danville, Indiana, Normal school
The story runs thus: Last November Mr.
Harper put $500 in his pockets and went
to Indianapolis to pay off some debts lie
reached indianapolis, but there oil trace OF
him was lost. He bore an irreproachable
character, was an educator Of note, hisinstitu-
ton was fourishing and his domestic rela-
tons were extremely felicitous; hence his
disappearance created the most profound as
constituent, particularly when examination
revealed that his financial condition was
good, with no woman in the case. Public
opinion finally settled to the belief that he
had been foully murdered and gradually he
passed from view. A few days ago his wife
received letter from him, postmarked
Cheyenne, in which he stated that he had
been knocked down and robbed in this
city, and then when consciousness returned
a few weeks ago he found himself among
the Indians, fifty miles west of Cheyenne,
and still suffering from wound in his
head received in November last in this city
His story sounds like a dream. His father
Immediately left for Cheyenne and yester-
day telegraphed from Kansas City that he
had found Prot. Harper and would arrive
home tomorrow. The news has rek:ndled
he excitement in Hendricks county and his |
friends are ready TO accept his statement,
While others are disposed to doubt it.

lite more independent, more dignihed and
