THg SILVER REsERvE.-A greenback ex-
change asks why the s:xty-six millions Of
silver dollar. in the United States Treasu-
~ are not used 10 pay bonds. The asking
Of this question shows how little the paper
understands our national finances. Saying
nothing OF the injustice OF paying holders
OF bonds in silver when the Government
sold them for gold. there remains the fact
that sll but twelve millions OF the sixty
six belong TO the holders Of an equal
amount OF silver certificates, for the re-
Semptios OF which they are deposited. There
il less than one hundred and twenty-five
millions OF coin and bullion OF all kinds In
the United states Treasury free from la
bilities; and this QUE hundred and twenty
five millions Is the gsseIbsck redemption
fund which makes the grseaEsck dollar
worth 100 cents instead Of two-thirds that
agure. as was the case few years ago.

True DEMoCRACY.-TheA American Reg
lister. which represents the Democratic
party as il was, and not the unregenerate
Democrats OF to-day, says in paragraph
concerning the National Greenback Labor
Party
BY Greenbseks Is meant irredeemable
paper money. alias dat money, TO be issued
10y the Government OF the United States.
History shows that irredeemable paper
money has always been the greatest op-
presSor and enemy OF the laboring man.
Men in other pursuits OF life can speculate
and protect themselves from the evils OF
a deprecated currency. But the daily la
bOrer is the inevitable victim Of this dire
evil whenever and wherever II occurs. r.
redeemable money Is OF necessity and una
voidably deprecated currency.
That Is precisely what the Republican
Press has maintained ever since the dat
money craze began, while the Democratic
press has, with few exceptions, advocated
an irredeemsble currency.-Belfdsi Jour

THE MERIDIAN RIOT.

According 10 the reports sent North the
morning after the Mississippi election, the
colOred men al Meridian initiated the meth
DDS pursued by the Bourbons OF that State
FOR several years, and assaulted party OF
white men, killing two, TO prevent them
from voting. II the colored men did this
without provocation, this Is the Hrst time
they have been the aggressors in any OF the
numerous election shooting affairs At the
South; and measures will undoubtedly be
taken 10 ferret out the guilty parties and
punish them, conslderingLthst they are
colored men.
There is some reason to fear, however,
that an impartial Investigation will show
that in the Meridian case, a. In all prev
ious cases, the real sggressors were Bour-
bon whites. The following paragraph
from the Meridian Mercury, published the
morning OF election day, may throw new
ligh, upon the matter and present other
causes for the riot than are given by the
Bourbon papers OF that State:
We encountered n squad OF young men OF the
city last night who arc intent upon going 20
Marion Ia the election to-day. We think they
mean business, ami every one OF them has a
white skin, and. we believe. white heart.
They will keep the peace there themselves to-
day, and see 10 10 that every body else does.
They are true. and some on elections.
That Is, crowd OF young men who are
'Some on elections" went 10 a voting place
where they bad no right 10 interfere with
the voting. and probably TO stuff ballot
boxes. This was very likely the cause OF
the shooting.

Tuesday Evenings Proceedings.

Prof. W. Egbert Smith delivered an address
on "The New Education.n Mans work is
construction or cultivation. Child culture is
the solemn task given to parents and teachers.
only the faculties which are in the child can
be broughto out. A capacity cannot be bought.
This view of education magnifies it. Who
dares make a mistake in training beings
'freighted with immortal dcstinies?" The
perfecting of human nature rather than the
instruction of the mind is the object of the
Kindergarten. The speaker gave an outline
OF the life of Troebel, the father of the Kin
dergarten, a review of its methods, a report
of the benefits resulting where it has been
tried and an enthusiastic prophecy that the
spirit and principles of the Kindergarten will
be carried into school work in all grades.
The excellence of this address was fully
worthy the experience and ability of our re-
cent territorial superintendent of education.
After a quarteLte, Miss Crossman read all

In the first part of her paper the lady out

a primary class in numbers, illustrating The
development of the multiplication table of
per cent, and the first lessons in fractions.
Miss Kate Fegtly read a paper on primary
arithmetic. 1t was full of sound, common
sense and useful hints,
Miss Crossman set her class of boys and
girls at work in common fractions, and they
showed themselves perfect masters of all its
difficulties. These class exercises as conduct
ed before the Institute, are quite as interest
ing in showing the past progress of pupils as
in illustrating the teachers methods of in
struction. Possibly it would be well to go
through with the explanation of a point
which is new to to the pupils.
