never been over the route. The Grand
Ronde river at said crossing can always
be forded with wagons save in the
Spring Of the year or at other periods
when there have been excessive rains
to swell its waters. A good substAn-
tial bridge can be built at this crossing
at comparative small expense, which
will obviate all ferrying and tording Of
this stream. Eastern mails for North
Idaho and most of Columbia, Whitman
and Stevens counties of Washington
could be carried from Union Town
over the route in l8 hours less time
than via Walla Walla as now carried.
All immigration from the east to the
counties named can save by the Wal
Iowa route at least 50 miles distance
from the route now travelled. By the
stage route via Walla Walla we have
the following distances: Lewiston Il
Walla Walla 81 miles, thence to Cay
use Station SO miles, thence via Mea
CHAINS to In Grand AZ miles, thence
to Union Town l8 miles, making to
tai of 1877 miles from Lewiston t.
Union Town. BY the Wallowa route
it is only lO2 miles showing difference
of S5 miles in favor of tho Wallowa routs
and no Blue mts. to cross. Let those in

ANTI.MONOPOLY,

After the meeting Of the league at
the Cooper Institute, New York, which
was addressed by Judge Black and
others, the Tribune came out with AN
editorial condemning the course of the
league. 10 this editorial Il. b. Thur
Der, member of the league, made the
following reply, which the Tribune re-
fused to publish:
TO the Editor Of the Tribune:
In your editorial entitled "Anti- Mo-
nopoly," published in the Tribune Of
the 23d, you say regarding the Anti
Monopoly meeting at Cooper Institute
that ''steps in the last degree impracti'
cable or unjust were advocated with u
reckless or violent spirit, a wanton dis
regard Of private rights and an obsti'
nate blindness as to the consequences to
tho people as a whole which be ter betit
the Reds and Communists of bygone
day in Paris than the free citizens Of
the ~self-government and prosperous
United States"
/ respectfully submit that the write,
of the above has totally misconceived
the spirit of that meeting and Of the
men who were most active in prOmot
ing it, and whether this was done ig
norantly or wilfully the fact is no,.'
the less to be deplored. The organiza
ton Of the Anti-Monopoly League ha'
been forced upon the people by abuses
in corporate management which repeat
ed legislative Investigations have pro
nounced "fully proven" and which tn
Hepburn Committee termed $50 glar
ing in their proportions as to SAVIOR o
fiction rather than actual history
Another legislative ecommitteehas states
of the railroad management Of one O
the reputed owners Of the 1ribun

How beautiful and lovely,
The delightful mountain scenes
With their rugged rocks and canyons,
Their gulches and ravines.
How pleasant and attractive
To the weary sons of toll,
Are the great unfading mountains
So free from lifes' turmoil.
How grand their lofty summits,
Their heads uplifted high
Above the earth like Summer clouds
Embosomed in the sky.
The proud majestic mountains
How picturesque and grand.
Everlasting mountains
Of the Almighty hand.

EDUCATIOT.

! \ good education i, but little NOR,
than the formation of good habits
To insure Il systematic training in all
that is necessary to lit Il yolin" man OF
woman for good society. time. pa
tience. and industry are required.
Good habits must be formed
There are certain rules which expert
encc has demonstrated to he necessa-
ry in the management ofevcry good
school. These are not merely arbi-
trary regulations. they are founded in
reason and can not be dispensed with
if the school shall be made to accom-
pli,h the design of it- organization
Their observance will insure habits of
attention, punctualiiy. and self-con-
trnl, that are an essential part of a
good education. while their neglect
vii! certainly entail life of mortiii-
cation. annoyance. and failure.
The exercise of the supreme pow
er in school is generally vested in
the teacher. subject to the supervision
Of those from whom he receives his ap-
pointmcnt.
We have already learned that in
our system of civil government there
are three departments. the legislative.
judicial. and executive. These in the
school are usually united in the per-
SOP Of the teacher, making his duties
sometimes trying and always re>pon-
sible. lie frames the rules of action
for the pupils while they are intrus-
ted to his care. he is master to direct.
friend to advise. teacher to Instruct,
and executive to enforce. 1t is his
duty to look after the health. secure
the comfort. protect the rights. and
preserve the morals of his pupils:
As he assumes TO be a teacher. there
are those who expect him to be learn
ed, wise. careful. prudent. amiablc.
gentle. &c. Such expectations are not
always realized. and consequently it
will not be surprising that he does
not give full satisfaction to all HIS p,f-
pills and their parents too. Still it may
safely be asserted that rs class. teach
ers do possess at least the desire to do
right.
Concluding 1 will say it may safely
be aid, however. that whenever the
pupils of school endeavor to do
right, no fear need be entertained that
any teacher will attempt to provoke
them to act differently.
