THE RESOLUTIONS.
Observation-Disclosures the Republicans of Kan
sas declare their fealty to that party whose his
tory has been that of an unbrOken triumph of
right over wrong and of intelligence over igno-
rance ard prejudice.
Second-We assert it to be the right of every
qualified voter to cast his ballot freely and fear
lessly, to have it honestly counted, and that .
true republican government can only exist
where this right il fully protected and enforced
by law; and we commend most heartily the Re
publican majority of Congress in its support of
this fundamental principle.
Third-That the grandest monument to Re
publican ascendancyiin Kansas il its system Of
Tree schools, and We declare that universal edu-
cation Ii the frmest basis upon which our
national security can rest.
Fourth--The Republican patty stands pledged
to the policy of granting ju.t share of our ma
tional abundance to those citizens who have
helped preserve the country in the late civil
war, and to afford relief to the widows and or
phaDs of those who laid down their lives for
the Union in that conflict. The Republicans of
Kansas are in favor of discbarging this sacred
trust literally. and up to the full measure of
cur national ability, believing that the utmost
We have done or may do in this regard will be
but partial recognition of the priceless ser
vices these heroes have rendered upon land and

WHITE BRONZE MONUMENT.
SOMERSET, ONO, March 22nd, 1882

SOMERSET, OHIO, March 22nd, 1882.
John Danison, Esq, New Lexington, O.
DEAR SIR.-I desire to express to you
my entire satisfaction in every particular
as to the White Bronze Monument recent-
ly erected by you at the grave of my
wife in the Cemetry in this place. 1 be-
leive it to be more durable than
Marble and it is certainly much
cheaper and more beautiful. The designs
upon the Bronze Monument if superior in
Marble would 40 greatly add to their
cost as to place them beyond the reach OF
all except the wealthy. All reports to the
contrary notwithstanding. / am highly
pleased and perfectly satisfied with the
work, as believe all will be who in
vest in it. If any person would pay me
the price of our Bronze Monument and
fifty Dollars added thereto / would not
have it removed if it could not be re
placed BY another just like it. The re-
port that / am dissatisfied with our mon
ument is utterly false. Yours,
PETER WEDrY.

Our School Managament.

We have n great respect for real teach
er. i have been pui-ing thet tor some
time and 6nd an extremely warm feeling
for our present Superinie ndent. We havea
soiidly founded convic, ion that Mr.. Hen
ry is a genuine teacher and il as hard
stndent as any of his pupils. and We learn,
stands very promenaHt and high in the
estlmation of the profession every where.
Now, before teaching can take rank as
profession, teachers must command respect
in society as a gentleman and a scholar,
and, they must "stand il" outside of So
ciety, too, and by SO doing Mr.. Henry has
made many W arm friends with whom other
principles never stood any show at all
not even q little side show-who consider
him very COMPETENT. If principel will
| con6ne himself to the school-room; if he'll
| write nothing, cay nothing, be as silent as
| . Whatsoever and do nothing, we must
estimate him for value received. A man
in Mr.. Henry's position must, il he would
rise in the profession, read, study, think,
| be a close observer, and take as he has
done, some part in the fairs of life ont-
side of his school. house business. Now,
the principal question put TO a teacher by
society Ia, not what do you know of math-
| ematics and metaphysics, but what do you
know OF things, of men, of managing those
under your CONTROL; not can you scan
Virgil talk fourteen or fifteen different
laguages and translate Homer, but can

True scholarship, implies, not merely the
possession of knowledge. but the develop
ment of the social faculties and emotions.

Big Bribery ATTEMPTED with the Commit
tee on Public Works,

We gather from the Columbus and Gin
cinnatti papers the following account of
the attempt to bribe Members of this Com
mittee which has caused q profound sem
pation throughout the entire etate. The
Committee consists of seven Members
Mcfarland, Hays, Bloch, Greiner, Gordon
Maury and Wright. To this Committee
are referred all bills pertaining to the
abandonment and building of canals and
other business of the Public Works of the
State. The bill purposing TO abandon the
Hooking canal also other bills proposing
the abandonment of the Miami Canal
at Cincinnitti are under their consideration.
These Cincinnati bills were backed by
Capitalists with millions of dollars and
the project If carried out promises to be
one of the richest bonanzas in the Uuited
States.

and efforts used by the several lobbies to
influence the Committe to make q favors-
