The Detroit Free Press has this to say

The Detroit Free Press has this to say IN
regard to the poor, overworked(?) school
teacher:
The School Board OF New York City is in
rather curious pickle about Mr.. Riddle, the
Superintendent OF Schools there. He has come
out in book that is now the bone Of conten-
ton. In it he avows himself Spirtualist and
gives sort OF spook interviews with Byron,
others. The board do not think he is fit to be
intrusted with the instruction OF the young
and SO they have given him an indefinite va
cation, as they dislike to dismiss him. They
think that he is overworked, and that this has
weakened his intellect and caused him TO pub
lish the spirtualistic volume. 1t is hard to
see bow an overworked man on a paltry $4,000
year could find time to investigate Spiritual
ism so thoroughly, be ON speaking acquaint-
ance with oil the great men OF past ages, pub
lish books and correspond with papers. Still
they are going to give him rest At the
meeting OF the School Board several members
expatiated on the hard work that teachers have
to perform. For years this has been reiterated
and no doubt the teachers themselves now
think they are a very hard-worked class. This.
however, is great mistake. Teachers have
about the "softest job as the vulgar term it,
that 10 at present in the market They have
but six hours work a day in any school, and
in many schools not 30 much. They have
every Saturday to themselves. They have
every holiday that is going, while to clerks hoI-
days are generally their busiest day. Teachers
have many vacations. Their schools close Just
as the warm weather sets in and open in the
cool fall. While merchants professional men,
clerks and working people OF all kinds are
swelteriDg through the hot days Of July and
August, at desk or counter the teacher cools
off wherever he pleases. There is a great deal
OF nonsense talked about the hard working
OF teachers; very many OF them don't know
practically what real, downright, prolonged
hard work means.

for tho Radical successes in the recent cleo

people are Democrats because of the feelings

JOHN SHERMAN AND LOUISIANA.

MIR. John Sherman, ex-visiting statesman,
Secretary Of the Treasury and presidential
aspirant, has written quite lengthy docu-
ment to the chairman OF the Republican State
Central Committee Of Louisiana In answer to
an invitation extended to him to address the
Republicans Of this State ION the national
Issues involved In the pending canvass"
The Invitation ID respectfully and regret
fully declined Imperative official duties max
ing an acceptance impossible, but as the next
best thing to tho coming OF his august SELL he
sends to the faithful a long and most remark
able letter To console and comfort them. The
letter, which we print In full In another col
umn, will be read with feelings of mingled
surprise and scorn BY every Intelligent citizen
OF this State and or the South (of all parties)
to whom John Sherman's history, and espe-
cially his recent antecedents, are familiar.
1t Is entertaining and instructive to learn
that the distinguished letter writer has strong
faith that II Republican principles We're fairly
presented to the people OF this State and other
Southern States much of the prejudice exist
Ing against that party would disappear This,
It cannot be denied Is an unmlstakable case Of
faith and man endowed with such an enor-
nous capacity for believing deserves very
little credit for being Christian. He does
not want any evidence Of the fact and would
not stoop to the tiresome task Of analyzlng
the causes which have made the South antag-
onize the Republican party; he is satisfied
and perfectly content in his strong faith."
We all remember In 1876 how strong MI
Sherman's faith" was In the ultimate success
OF the Radical party In Louisiana and In the
election OF Hayes, and on that occasion never
to be forgotten--it may be truly said that his
faith removed mouEtains-mo or hon
est ballots which were cast for Mr.. Tiden,
but which the strong faith Of the visiting
statesmen, aided by Eliza Pnkston. Jim An
derson, Agnes jerks, and last, but not least,
the Returning Board, succeeded In removing
most effectualy.
1t Is very unfortunate that pressing en-
gagements sh uld have prevented the peo-
pie OF Louisiana from hearing from the lips
OF this modern statesman such a presenta-
ton Of the principles as he believes would
cause the disappearance Of the "prejudlce"
which he has ascertained does exist In the
South against the Republican party. It
would be most extraordinary presentation
and exposition, Indeed, that would have the
effect OF blottlng out the past and of obliter-
ating the anoble faculty OF memory" Did
we not learn during more than ten ter
rible years what Republican principles
were Did we not have them
