Since last weeks issue, the French
Cabinet, of which Gambetta was head
mas been dissolved and new one Or
gani2ed. The failure of the Cabinet is
due to Gambetta's persistence in adher-
ing to his demand of having the Scy1tin
de ttste incorporated into the system of
elections. The supporters of the min
lister have shown great wisdom in op-
posing this scheme, which is a scheme
something after the manner of our
electoral college for choosing the Presi-
dent. 1t enables the head of the gov
eminent to control in large measure
the election, and confines the political
power to narrower limits. But while
Gambetta's party have shown wisdom
in renouncing the Scrutia de liste thew
have lost the leader who alone was
able to insure their success as a party.
They have thus shown their attach
ment to the Republic greater than
their adherence to any man, however
popular or powerful. Gambetta is toe
powerful apolitician to remain long in
obscurity after this defeat.

THE DISCIPLINE OF THE
SCHOOL.
Continued from January 20

METHOD OF TEACHING ENGLISH.
The study of our own language by
the use Of the English dictionary
should be encouraged and required OF
all. In teaching spelling, punctuation.
and the use of capitals, the attention OF
the scholar should be directed to the
printed page. He will there see cor
rect forms and usage, and thus acquire
the habit of criticism and correctness
in practice. Why the capitals are so
used should be explained, and what
variations of the voice the punctuation
marks indicate should be illustrated by
the teachers voice.
VALUE OF WRITTEN COMPOSITIONS.
And while dealing with the thoughts
Of others, the scholar should be taught
to e. press his own on slate OF paper as
soon as he is able to write. This de-
partment of composition, though the
most neglected, is the most important
of all. Hence, the teacher should give
it special and frequent attention, at
every stage of instruction, that his pu-
pills may learn to express themselves
in an easy and graceful manner.
DANGER OF TEACHING BY QUESTIONS.
The three methods of instruction
now claim our attention. The more
common is by questioning. MANY
teachers know of no other way, and
some have so little knoWlege of the
subjects to be taught that they demand
to have questions prepared for them.

species of motion, like a vibration OF

cussion, compression, or combustion.
2. Why does heat rise? When a
portion of air, by coming in contact
with heated body, has heat impaired
to it, it expands, and, becoming rela
lively lighter than the other portions
around it, rises upward in current,
carrying the heat with it.
3. What is the a0aoe theory o.

The question of Reproducing the
State is an important one at Madison.
1t is probable that the present legisla-
ture will adopt some equitable plan.
A scheme said to be very fair and just
has been laid before the Legislature.
1t secures a very fair division accord
ing to population, but assigns to the
new and rapidly-growing country of
the north less people per district than
the old settled regions in the southern
part of the state. This is only lust,
as before another appointment these
countries are likely to exceed in popu-
lation the average figure as much as
they now fall below it. Senator Price
has made speech defending the bill
OF last winter, and claiming that there
was no bulldozing in passing it. Such
speech is wasted eloquence. The
thing was too palpable.

The Guiteau trial, which has occu-
pied so much attention for the past
two months, is finally over with. The
jury have found the prisoner guilty
of the charge of having murdered the
President on the I'd of July. Notwith-
standing the effort made to show that
Guiteau was an irresponsible lunatic,
in view of all the evidence, of which
the prisoners own was an important
part, the jury failed to be convinced
of that fact. Their decision under the
ruling of the Court was not merely
that they failed to find him insane, but
that they found him sane without
doubt. The character of the trial has
been peculiar, A similar one has
never before been held. The prisoner
was allowed to interrupt witnesses.
counsel, the Court itself. He hurled
torrents of abuse right and left upon
whoever in any way said anything to
endanger his interests. His remarks
were often of bitter, sarcastic char
acter, frequently extremely witty, al
ways showing the prisoner possessed
of a degree of pungent wit inconsistent
with the plea put forward for his de-
fence. The audience were frequently
irresistibly betrayed into laughter by
his apt repartees. The freedom grant
ed the prisoner and the leyity of the
audience excited much unfavorable
criticism at the early stages of the trial.
1t has been spoken of as disgraceful
farce and an outrage upon public de-
cency. There was apparent cause for
the criticism. A trial conducted in
such a manner of the man who had
lately plunged the country in mourn
ing by basely numbering a great and
good man could hardly be expected to
escape severe censure. Gradually as
the trial progressed the feeling gained
ground that there were good. reasons
for allowing the prisoner the freedom.
Judge Cox desired not only to give the
prisoner fair and impartial trial, but
he did not wish to take any steps that
would give cause for moving for new
one. The advantage to the prosecu-
ton of allowing the prisoner such
freedom proved to be very great.

Rumors from the frontier have been
received to the effect that the Mormons
are melting the Indians to war, fur
nishing them with ammunition and
arms and whisky. The report is Of
such character that the Secretary of
the Interior has deemed it advisable to
inquire into the matter. The motives
for such a course could only be hos
tiIity to the government at the pros.
pective interference with their reli.
gious practices. The report is denied
having any truth in it by Cannon, who
is in New York city.

THE KENOSHA TELEGRAPH
FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 8. 1882.

Through the stupidity or sharpness
Of a post Office clerk, the name Of Will
liam Nicols was sent to the Senate as
postmaster of Norfolk. Va. The
President, as soon as he learned the
fact, at once withdrew the nomination.
The appointment was signed with a
number Of others, and was not noticed.

Madison has for some days past been
the scene of lively post Office fight.
The present incumbent having been
elected to the Legislature, is, under a
rule of the Post Office Department,
obliged to relinquish his seat or resign
his position as post master. The con
test over the appointment Of success
sor has engendered most lively feeling.
The chances now are considered to lie
between Gen. Bryant, of Dane County,
and one Helm. for the past twelve
years an employee under Postmaster
Keyes. The citizens Of Madison have
expressed themselves by largely
signed petition for Helm. But Helm
is not politician, and his aid as a pc.
litical worker would be insignificant as
compared with Bryant. For the rea-
son a strong effort will be made by
those to whom the political influences
of the Office are of paramount import
ance to secure Bryant's appointment
The people are indignant that their
wishes are to be overruled in a matter
which is of more interest to them than
to anybody else. Gen. Bryant is claimed
to be man well qualified for the Office
and has host of friends in Madison
He is not objected to OH personal
grounds, but there are those who think
Helm, with twelve years experience
in the Office, is the man who is justly
entitled to the appointment. The PEG
pie of Madison should bear in MIND
that the golden days of civil seryict
reform have not yet come, and it is ont
of the most natural things in the world
for politicians to wish to see a maj
in the Office who can WELD consider
able political influence, and who will
do it whenever he can to help hi
friends and forward party interests.

For some time very severe criticisms
have been heaped upon Ex-Secretary.
Blaine's South American policy. Ru-.
mors to the effect that policy not
wholly honest, extremely presumptuous
as to the influence of the good offices
Of this government in South America,
unwise, impolitic in every respect, was
adopted by the Secretary during his
brief charge of our foreign affairs.
These statements have gone unchal-
lenged but not unnoticed. The partial
disclosure of Mr.. Blaine's views by
the publication of some Of the letters
of instruction sent to Ministers HUI
burt and Fitzpatrick, and replies there
to, without containing anything to sub
stantiate the charges made against Mr.
Blaine, have been sliced upon with
avidity by large class of politicians
who are afraid of Blaine in 1884, and
the organs they control, and the most
is attempted to be made out of these
papers, damaging to the Ex-Secretary's
reputation. AS long as these state.
ments were confined to tn ose who
were Mr.. Blaine's bitter political oppo-
nents no notice was taken of them,
but when some of the Secretary's for
mer friends began to side with his enc
mics, and to sacrifice Blaine for the
purpose undoubtedly of making them
selves little more solid with the new
political machinery, then Blaine took
up the question and made a statement
which has completely justified the pol
icy adopted by him toward South
America. Had this policy been the
wisest imaginable Mr.. Blaine would
not have escaped. 1t was blow
aimed at Blaine and not at his policy.
He shows that it was the Presidents
policy that President Arthur was
fully aware of the full nature of the
diplomatic steps being taken by the
Department to restore order and friend
ly relations between the South Ameri-
can Republics. To suppose otherwise
would be to place the President in q
light that Blaine's enemies are far
from wishing. Since Mr.. Blaine's
statement has been made less is said
The principal objection that was held
against the policy was the unnecessary
severity and pointedness of the Ian
guage p. Mr.. Blaine's language was
not sufficiently vague and meaning
less.

RECITATION MARKS NOT THE FINA
TEST OF ABILITY.

The marking of class recitations does
not determine the ability of the man in
future life. The brilliant scholar, who
has spent his time in comparative idle
ness and looked with contempt upon
the laboriOus student who stumbles in
recitation, has often been compelled to
step aside and see his less scholarly
but more industrious companion come
up to occupy positions which he could
not fill. College marks gave the boast
ing genius a scholarship and made him
the valedictorian; but the world has
reversed the decision and awarded
the merit and the honor to him who
has forced his way to distinction and
usefulness by toll and sweat and tears.
The college will never abandon its own
marking as a standard of honorable
position nor fail to withhold merited
honors FROM those who were not found
among its favored few in the days of
Greek roots and Latin Examinations.
Still. success in life is the only standard
of greatness and the only test of honor
able distinction. The greatest man in
any sphere of action is he who has ac-
compiished the most. Good scholar
