A School for G..r Town.

EDITORS DEMOCRAT: l have already inflicted one communication on youl readers this week, but must beg room for one more short space. On the 18th day of next month the voters of Rus sellville wIll be called upon to say at the polls whether or not they will have a good free school for all the children. If the voters will cast their ballots for five-mill school tax we can have \ good free school, and instead of the hard working poor-people having to pay-a tuition of $l.50 or S2 per month to school their children, they can send them to good free school and the tax will not amount to soc per month.
 Tine free school system is based upon the idea that the biggest property own CTS derived the most benefit from the labor and toll of the masses, and they should therefore pay the most to edu- cate the children of the toilers upon whose industry all prosperity depends. It is a wise idea. Those who have ac- cumulated wealth ahd taxable proper ty most should pay most to educate the masses. Under this system the child of the blow man and the widow has the same chance to get schooling that the child of the rich man has, and that, too, without his tuition being burden to the hardworking father or the sor- rowing widowed mother.
 There are two hundred children in Russellyille who raise their young faces up to HIS and beseech us to give them the free-school privilige. Let us not blight their future usefulness by denying them this boon.
 If the voters of Russellville will go the polls on the 18th of August and vote for the mills tax it will be an honor to our town which will regain for us the respect of our sister towns throughout the State, which respect we lost last year by voting down the tax, JOHN HENRY.

WHAT THEY SAID THEN.

Many of the papers that are now
supporting General Garfield were de.
manding his expulsion from Congress
in the Spring OF 1873 1t would be an
easy task to compile volumes of bitter
denunciation of General Garfield and
bis association in Credit Mobilier from
files OF Republican journals of that
date. We give a few samples. Said
the Indianapolis Journal, referring to
all who were implicated, including
General Garfield and Mr.. Bingham
EVERY member of Congress who de-
liberately handled Credit Mobilier
stock is unworthy Of future conf.
donce." The Manchester Mirror, q
leading Republican paper of Now
Hampshire, said "Garfeld had ten
shares and the profits thercfrom."
And the same paper following up the
matter more vigorously, remarked
"That these two men (Ames and
Brooks should be summarily elected
from the positions they have disgraced
is most painfully apparent truth.
But two parties are necessary to con-
summate bribery, and il Mr.. Ames is
to be expelled for bribing Messrs. Gar.
field and Bingham, they should bear
hm company in punishment. The
conclusion of the Committee that they
were bribed and did not know il is
altogether too thin. The country de.
mands that clean work be made Of
this cleansing process, and that all
men who have sold themselves should
be kicked out of Congress-" All over
the country, the Republican press, as
suming high moral tone, demanded
that General Garfield and all who
were implicated with him should be
expelled from the House.
