school officers is as proper and wholesome
and natural a one for wives and mnthor'
as can be imagined. 10 appears that the
exercise of the right no longer attracts
special attention, and there Is not the
slightest reason why it should. The Incl
dent may not be phprofitably studied by
those women sdffragists who insist on
forcing the b,unt edge of the wedge of re-
form into me solid resistless mass of pub

THIS week will conclude the active can
EASING in Ohio, as the election will take
place next Tuesday. The campaign has
been actively prosecuted on both sides.
Ex-senator Thurman, Judge Hoadly, Ex-
Senator Mcdonald, Senator Pendleton, the
Hon. S. S. Cox, of New York, and Gen.
Durbin Ward being among the speakers on
the Democratic side. The State Commit
tee has been exercising its influence in the
direction of harmony and within the past
week Democratic hopes have considerably
revived in Ohio. OF course thcre has been
a corresponding depression OF the Repub-
lican side, so much so thatthe Republi-
can papers are making te most urgent
appeals to the voters OF tht party to come
out in their strength if thy would avert a
defeat. There is prom;e OF a very large
vote being polled.
WHEN Judge Stepen J. Field, of the
United States Supreie Court, a perpetual
candidate for the itfice of President, in
duced a friend irVirginia to publish his
new platform, a7w weeks ago, he had no
organ. but with a few days one has been
placed at hisdisposal by the great and
benevolent corporation known as the
Central Pace Railroad Company of Cali
fornia. w are told by u esteemed
Democrat contemporary, the New York
sun. thathe Alta California newspaper of
San Frgcisco has been transferred to this
%corporion, because the owners of the

prcerty. Judge Field" it is said in the

othis corporation for President. He has

: THE New York Times goes to the relief
Of the Charleston Ners and Courier in adj
'vocating the reimbursement by the gov
'ernment of the depositor's of the Freed
mems Bank. 1t says: 'The colored peo-
pie have a real grievance against the gov
eminent of the United States in the dis
grace of the Freedmen's Savings Bank
failure. Whatever the legal obligations in
the case may have been, there is no doubt
that this institution was implicitly trusted
in the belief that it was under the care OF
the government. No proper provision
was ever made for its supervision, and in
the final settlement of its affairs little re-
gard was paid to the equities of the case.
1t would be a small matter for the govern
ment, in view of the exceptional circum-
stances under which it existed and was
mismanaged and brought to ruin, to reim-
burse the losses of the poor depositors.
Many claims have been paid which had q
much less equitable basis"
PAT DOMAIN lays down the following as
the Democratic programme of 1884: ''In
spite OF all the frothy assurances to the
contrary, OF such claptrap retailers and
cantankerous circus agents as Henry Wat
terson, and such gopher Presidential as
pirants as 'Sunshine-for -all-at-two-cents-
copy Dana, Tilden is to be the Demo-
cratic nominee for the Presidency next
year, and a strong programme has been ar
ranged. JOIN Kelly and Tilden have
buried the Ratchet and smoked the great
red peace-pipe, and Tammany, with all its
hordes of battle-scarred warriors, will
support the sly old medicine man of Grey
stone. This, it is thought, insures New
York by $4,000 majority to the Democrats,
no matter who may head the Republican
ticket. Mcdonald is to be nominated for
Vice-President, Voorhees, is be given the
~Governorship, and Hendricks is to have
his choice of all the foreign missions.
Ben Butler, whose strength in New Eng
land has beconae too great to be overlooked,
is to be made Secretary of Wan under the
new rJinle."
