CAUTIOUSLY enough the female school teach
ers OF the United States were subject of dis
cussion In the House of Commons one night
this week, Mr.. Mundella had referred favor
ably to them, when Mr.. Mills INDUCED ia d
sneer and doubted that the custom was one
that could be profitably followed In this c6un-
try. Then up rose Mr.. Plunkett, gallant
freshman. who said he had been to the United
States and there studied the subject, and ex-
pressed biz opinion that 1T would be d great
benefit to this country II we could import 900
or 300 OF those American women teachers"
Mr.. Maelaren also quoted the Bishop of Man.
chester, who has declared also from personal
experiences that their teaching Ii generally
much better than given la the schools OF this
country" Your lady teachers were thus elo-
quently and successfully defended, but 1t was
surely an odd subject for discussion In the
British House Of Commons.

abstracts from the Republican papers, to the
effect that the peace of the country was pre-
served at that time by the moderation and
patriotism OF the Democrats. No Southern
man is seeking to revive the issues settled
by the war, and In no respect have they been
false to the government since they furled
their flag and stacked their arms at Apo
mattox.
Since then they have abandoned all schemes
OF separate government; they accepted the
defeat as an end to the establishment of an
independent government. In conclusion,
Mr.. House paid an eloquent tribute to the pa
trlotlsm Of the Southern people.
Mr. burrows, OF Michigan, was next re-
was no freedom of election in the South, and
referred particularly to the report Of the Tel
ler committee in relation to the alleged out
rages u Louisiana. He argued that this
plotpoesea legislation was revolutionary. The
act OF the South in 1861 was rebellion and
reason and this proposed action now was
out little short of it. The gentleman who
proposed this legislation now stood before
1ie t1untf w 70 me attitude Of conspirator.
On the srmv XIII he MADE by the

ures,. and every vestige of loyal legislation
for the last eighteen years would be swent
from the statute books. The Democrats had
thrown down the gauge Of battle and the Re

stand by it: [Applause.l They did not accept

consult. Democratic prejudiccs or
preferences in choosing the subject or
methods of legislation. Democratic
whining and dcnunciation Of "rcvo-
lutionary methods" did no good then.
The country was then with the Re-
publicans. Can the Republicans now
expect that singing the old song will
do them any good? The country
wants rest and quietncss. All forms
Of trade and industry demand thom.
Will Republicans prccipitate on us
all bitter political struggle which,
according to their own admissions, is
purposclcssW
A good many Republicans think
with Mr.. Crowley, but Garfield and
Congcr have been too frenzicd to hear
them. The Republicans arc richer
than the Democrats, and they don't
want business injured. They are
quiet now but if factious minority
persist'in their folly, they will hear
from the "silcnt vote" in way they
will not like.
