From Wendell PhiUips'S address at Hdrrdrd.
Fifty million of men God gives us 10 mould; burn

the bar of public judgment,-these are the peoples
schools. Ilmid scholarship either shrlnks from
sharing in these agltations, or denounces them as
vulgar and dangerous interference by incompetent
hands with matters above them. chronic distrust
of the people pervades the book-oducated class of
the North: they shrink from that free speech which
is Gods normal school for educating men, throwing
upon them the grave responsibility of deciding great
questions and lifting them TO a higher level of
intellectual and moral life. Trust the people-the
wise and the ignorant, the good and the baldwin,
the gravcst questions and in the end you educate
the race; while you secure not perfect institutions
not necessarily good ones but the best institutions
possible while human nature is the basis and the
only material to build with. Men educated and
breach all their mistakes and advocate all their
errors. The community that viii not protect its
bumbest, most ignorant and most hated member in
the free utterance of his opinions, no matter how
false or hateful. is only gang of slaves!

MY LADY.
From The London World.
Thus do | dream

From The London World
Thus do | dream
sometimes of summer day,
hen the wind blows fresh from the hin.
Cleansing our souls from thoughts of ill.,
As our limbs are washed by the mountain stream
What my love should he,
IL God would fashion her form for me.
Gracious and stately, yet withal
Most gente-irinded slow To please
Full of tranquil kindiiness for all
Lest To the supcr-sense
vi huinoie h Nm. a chance speech give offence.
To tears or laughter, love or strife,
Right nobly simple IN her way of life,
Yet joyipg healthiy in all this world can give
Since holy minds IN heal ny bodies live,
And beauty cannot harbor with disease.
But above all most true,
And rather over-trustful than inclined
To see the evil sooner than the good
In each mans mind:
Setting THUS should II higher than 81 would II
Nor ever restless for things new.
And for her bearing, would have her tail
And lissom as young shoots in May
That rise and fall,
Marking the cadence of the breeze
Rather than bending to his sway:
With eyes like summer seas
Mocldng the blue above,
Within whose infinite azure deeps
golden secret sleeps
Whose holy calm hath never yet revealed
To day or night
The worlds of treasure that do lie concealed
Beneath their crystal sheen,
But wait the coming of the light
The coming of the light of love-
So would have my queen.
Her voice should be silver sweet,
Pure as the chime of a holy bell
And my heart should beat
And answer its sound again,
AS twin lutes throb to "A single strain
Therein should dwell
The music of my life, and to be;
The noblest thoughts God ever gave TO mo
Should be set to it's exquisite melody.
This rs my dream of midsummer hour,
Begot
BY the fairy power
OF few fond rhymes that my heart holds dear;
And turn and trembe her step To hear,
Yet she cometh not.

That Skulking Platform.

we asserted last week that the Fun
der platform has the head of q Lion and
and the heart of sheep. 1t starts out
with huge show of boldness, and vet
lodges and'avoids nearly every issue be-
fore the people. The people will re-
quirc Mr.. Daniel to account for the ST.
lence of his party on these points: DO
they favor coupons receivable for taxes
in their proposed settlement of the debt {?
Shall the new bonds be taxable? Shall
the school fund be excepted in the cou-
pom? Again: Shall the poll-taX qualifl-
cation remain unrepealed? Shall we
have anew edition Of the accursed stamp
tax to -circumyent the cheap promise
about not increasing the RATE of taxa
tion?
On all these points the platform is ST.
lent. Unfortunately for Mr.. Daniel, he
has spoken on every one of them, and
has already decided them against the
people, ana so VIGOROUSLY. so that even
Gilbert Walker pats him on ahe back at
the end of telegraph wire. Now as the
Funders propose settlement which they
have not defined except to say it shall
be just what the bondholder dictates, we
should like to know if they mean to let
the people vote on it before it is yoNed
about their necks. Unfortunately for
Mr.. Daniel, he Is known to be opposed
to submitting the debt settlement to the
people.
The Readjustcrs have drawn THEIR
Bill in all its details, and the people will
pass upon it this fall. This bill speaks
on ALL points, The Funder platform
skulks every issue.

The Trouble With Barbour.

Mr. Harris nominated Mr.. Barbour
Col. Richmond asked that he be nomi-
nat by acClamation. DR.. Lewis was au-
thorized by Mr.. Barbour to say he would
not accept. Gen. Walker wanted Il com
mittee to go and see whether he would
accept before he was nominated to super
cede him. Finally Mr.. Barbour was
nominated at n vcpturc, and the present
Lieut.. Governor was allowed to take DR.,
Lewis and John T-in-the-cool to see
then If he would accept. Mr.. Barbour
came and oh, how he did sweat But he
did say he "wOuld be something more on
less than human could he refuse noml-
nation given him under such circumstan-
ces"-that Is, we suppose, he would
have to be either an angel or devil to
refuse to burn the Barbour bill and to
raise MS his banner the Ross Hamilton
bill. For mark yc the bill forcshalow-
ed IN the Fundcr platform Is the whole
debt at per cent. with tax receivable
coupons, aud that Is the Il. II. bill.
The cream of the joke is Nj, Barbour
had so often boltcd from his party that
he came near boiling by refusing this
time. But accidmdtion was too much
for him and --- he wiltcd. Vowng he
would ne'or consent, he consented.

paid from the Peabody fund. This is
thought to be the very wisest way to
spend the small amount of Peabody mon
ey at the disposal of our State Supt. We
all believe that DR.. Ruflner is right in
thus disposing of it. The Abingdon
school runs for one month. There isan-
other school of the same character at
Front Royal. Va. There is also large
Normal school of the same kind for the
colored people at Hampton, Va. This
school ran for one month and has Just
closed. 1t is hoped that the day is not
far distant when there will be State
Normal School, not for one month, but
entire scholastic year. Normal training
for our teachers is at the very founda-
ton of our success in the public schools,
and DR.. Ruilner deserves the thanks of
all friends of popular education for the
interest he has manifested and the work
he has done in this direction. ~

Daniels Stamp Tax.

We copy elsewhere from the Va. PAT

terial portions of Mr.. Daniels accurscd
stamp tax bill. IL IL proper to remark,
that the Bill was reported as tho work of
tho Committee, there being on II the
name OF no Senator as patron. But af-
tor elaborate discussion Mr.. Daniel was
not only satisfied with II, but moved to
make Il much worse, by adding to II n
provision to require every Il. Il. ticket
to be stamped from 3 to l0c cach. A re-
inarkablo feature Of this amendment
framed, wriitcn and offered by Mr. Dan
lei, IL the one which forbade the r. II.
Companies to saddle themselves with
this tax, but absolutely required them
TO make the purchaser OF the ticket pay
II. At the time Il was advocated, amend
cd and voted for by Mr.. Daniel, the Ed
ltor Of this paper plgcon-holcd the bill
for future use, and In 1877 he brought II
before tho public. The PATRON then
copied II from the NEws. The people
will not fall TO note that this Is one Of
MIR. Daniels methods OF securing more
money out Of the people without In
crcasing the rate Of taxation, aud u
shows how transcendently worthless Is
