OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondents
NEW YORK, Jan. 9th, 1883


NEW YORK, Jan. 9th, 1883.
Congressman Jorgensen of Virgin
ia, was in town for a few days this
week. Meeting him in Broadway
conversation naturally turned to pol
itics. Said he: "anvbody who oh.
serves the course of events cannot
nelp seeing what sorrowful figures
the Democrats are cutting, and the
Republicans by their policy of obser-
walton and waiting are making the
most of it. / think that by 1884, the
party will have restored itself into
the confidence of the country to such
an extent that they will be able to
elect their candidate for President
even without Pennsylvania and New
York. I think that the gain of votes
in the South will compensate for
whatever loss there might be in the
North. I am sure that North Caro-
lima and old Virginia will go Repub-
lican. Looking at the question now,
/ think Senator Ben Harrison of In
diana, will be the candidate of the
party. He is man identified with
no faction and could easily harmon
ize their interests. To strengthen the
ticket, the convention should nomi-
nate some strong Southern Republic
can for the Vice Presidency"
Freddy Gerhard has come back to
town, but somehow he keeps very
quiet, and even his intimate friends
have seen but little of him. He
seems greatly depressed, and no Won
der for never was man or woman
more i'll treated by ruffians of the
press than young Gerhard and Mrs.
Langtry. The feeling in New York
is very strong against Cunningham
the contemplate hero of the st. Louis
escapade. Nobody cares for Geb-
hard. for he is not popular even in
his own set, but his Safeguarding
conduct towards a woman makes
everybody say that Gerhard made a
great mistake in not spanking him
and pitching him into the street
when he encountered him. I do not
think Cunningham could get posi-
ton on a paper in this city, SO great
is the feeling of shame among the
profession over his conduct. The
New York Hotel here is a great re-
sort for Southerners stopping in the
city. Said one of these gentlemen
the other evening discussing the sit
uation. "If that fellow steps up for
Southern gentleman. and insults
lady in such manner that the man
Gebhard could not do anything to
defend her without giving color to
his brutal attack, then 1 want to be
considered rnffian. The name gem
tleman in the South used to mean
something, / am afraid it is an appro-
priOus term now.

Some of the papers of the State are
already predicting what will be the
leading issues in the canvass next fall
and among them is change in the
school law. Perhaps they mean a
change in the men who administer
and execute it.

Education and Temperance.
lev. George X. Morris, A. NJ.

Rev. George X. Morris, A. NJ.
1t is surprising fact that the ig.
norance concerning the evils of ill.,
temperance is as profound among the
learned as among the unlearned.
The truth on this subject is no part
of the college curriculum, and does
not at all enter into regular educa.
ton. How can this evil be remedied?
Who will educate the uneducated,
or persuade them that they are sad
ly ignorant in an essential particu-
lar.
If Temperance has been ignored in
early life it will generally be ignored
in later life. The fact that it is not
included in the instructions impaired
is itself an education It teaches
with the tremendous emphasis OF
silence that Temperance is not sub
ject worthy consideration, a fallacy
which is seldom removed from the
mind by which it is once entertained.
We may thus see the logical relation
of schools to Temperance. Educa-
ton has three-fold task: first, to
develop latent mental faculties next,
to discipline and train the power de.
veloped and prepare the subject for
practical service in real life; and,
third. to impart to him some share
of needed knowledge of the life be.
fore him, of his opportunities, diff
culties and duties.
Merely to impart knowledge is not
really to educate so as to meet the
just requirements of this or any age.
The we'll educated man is one who
has acquired intellectual strength.
adequate to his ife's demand, skill
in its exercise, and some practical
knowledge of the arena on which he
is contending for the prizes of man
hood, and of at least the fundamen-
tai principle that are a guide to life's
best results. So far as educational
systems and methods conform to this
triple need they are right, and by so
much as in any respect they fail they
are wrong. Seen from the point of
view OF intelligent friends of the
Temperance movement, the educa-
tory system of the day, in the home
and Sunday-school, up through pri-
mary and preparatory schools, col
leges. seminaries and universities, is
greatly at fault. This is a grave
statement. truly. and is gravely and
sadly made. The proof is in the fact
that the great majority of mankind
come from the homes and institutions
of our age without hint as to the
best way of settling the most pro-
found problem of the world they are
entering. without any just conception
of the stupendous character of that
problem.
Is not that education clearly at fault
that says nothing about the worst
evil, the greatest peril, that shall be-
set him whom it pretends to fit for
the ambushed walk of life?
But let us be more explicit. Is not
intemperance the most terrible evil
of modern times? Is there nation
on earth not quivering in its folds
like LAGOON in the python's coils /?
Is there a family it has not some.
where hurtfully touched? Is there
one life it does not directly or indi-
rectly limit? Is there one human
being whom it has not in some wav
wronged and injured Is it not a
ubiquitous curse? Is there one good
thing of which it is not the active and
powerful enemy? And is it not daily
increasing its power for mischief?
Does 1t not constantly destroy souls ?
