The Positions Of Parties.

II il clear to anv rejecting mind that
the Republican party is no longer party
Of nrinciples. Whatever missions 1t had
have been fulfilled. The surest evidence
offts decadence is the fact that the diyis-
ions that now prevail in its
ranks were brought about by
disputes as 10 the dis
tribution Of the spoils. 1t has hardly one
clean cut issue to present TO the country.
Its professions as TO civil service reform
are hypocritical. The reform cOntem-
plated Is extremely partial, and will not
be permitted 70 assume the scope Of a
general reformation Of the public ser
vice. When confronted with the ques-
ton in its last National Convention, its
declarations breathed the spirit Of Flan-
nagan rather than the faith Of the friends
OF reform.
While historically committed to protec-
ton. a STRAIGHTFORWARD utterance in favor
Of its continuance would cost the party
more votes than il would be likely 10 gain.
While it Is possible that the party may
adopt the surplus revenue distribution
plank of the Pennsylvania Republicans,
it is not likely that such trifling with the
common sense Of the masses will be eX-
hibited.
Though the party insists that we are a
nation. and its representatives have often
ignored the limitations Of the organic
law. the supreme Court Of late has
been observing the old landmarks. and the
tendency to Capitalization has been less
marked. The party may ridicule States
rights. but 1t would not dare 10 raise a
direct issue that would menace any one
of the reserved rights Of the States.
The sectional issue, or what was called
the southern Question:" is no longer Of
value. What the party may evolve re-
mains to be seen, but its main task is to
get its factions reconciled in time for the
struggle Of next year.
This task viii give its leaders abundant
occupation. Meanwhile it will be well
for the Democratic party to bear
in mind that. if it shall lose sight
Of its principles and present itself
as simply a claimant for a turn
at the public crib, it may be doomed
to disappointment. The principles Of De
mocracv are historical. germane to our
system cf government, readily understood
and treasured by millions Of patriotic citi-
zens. Let the Democratic leaders do
their duty and the issue Of the contest
cannot be doubtful.

The Southern Exposition at Louisville
was successfully opened yesterday by
President Arthur in the presence Of a
large and distinguished assemblage. The
city was gay with decorations and alive
with enthusiasm. The managers Of the
Exposition were agreeably surprised at
the large attendance Of visitors. The
ceremonies Of the opening were ef-
fectively conducted, and the aus
pices for the success Of the enter
prise are exceedingly favorable. The
exhibits have not as yet been fully ar
ranged. but in little time the display
will be complete. The Exposition, like its
predecessor at Atlanta, is an enterprise,
which, illustrating the resources Of the

terial benefit Of this section. 1t should

Commissioner Orr.s Article.

state School Commissioner Orr has
written an article. which is being dis
tributed in the shape Of a circular. to
correct some alleged errors re-
specting our public schools. which
he thinks have gotten abroad.
The Commissioner says that the i'm
preston that One-third Of the entire
school fund Is required to pay the sala-
ries Of officers Is wrong. The Commits
sioner and his clerk get only $500 a year,
and the expenses of running the Commits
sioner's office amount to only 81 ,294 81 a
year. \ little over $4,000 is paid to
tast year i Rd5 a6f5iadt yII355 .. From
this statement it appears that in the neigh
b0rhO0d Of per cent. Of the fund goes for
the salaries Of officers. and that % per
cent. Is paid to the teachers. The Com
missioner goes into an elaborate calcula-
ton TO show that if his Office were abOl-
ished not more than 81 mills per annum
would he saved to each school child.
II the office Of County school Commits
sioner were abolished there would be
added to each child's part Of the school
fund five and eIghty-foUr hundredths
cents. This showing viii hardly cause a
demand for doing away with the offices of
state and County Commissioners. Com
missioner orr also makes "a
statement showing the amount
Of the school fund that is enjoyed by
white teachers. and how much by colored
According to his figures. outside Of the
local organizations. there were last year
4.2g1 white. and 1,S15 were coIOred
teachers. In other words sew
en-tenths Of the teachers are white
and three-tenths colored. The
Commissioner concludes that the
colored teachers get about one-ifth
Of the school fund. Other matters are
dealt with in the Commissioners article,
but those above mentioned are the ones
Of general interest to the public. He
seems to have met the criticisms made
upon him and the present school system
quite satisfactorily.
