would usually be indicated by the class
Offices to be filled this fall, we deem it in
cumbent upon us to call your attention,
at the outset, to some of our mutual
duties as Democrats, in the campaign that
is now upon u.s.
This campaign of 1888 finds our State
political parties aligned, and confronting
each other, essentially different positions
from those which were occupied by them
during the State campaigns of 1879 and
1881.
Now, for the first time in some years, we
lind the respective parties in Virginia drawn
upon the opposite sides of the same line
which separates the two great national par
ties, with no great question of peculiarly
local concern to cause disturbances and
dlslocations in the former general align
ment of the two parties.
FAMILY quarrels ars always the bitterest,
but when the occasion of quarrel is ad-
justed, the quarrel should be adjusted too.
The debt question being settled, so far
as politics is concerned, we should strive to
heal our wounds, and again work in unison
for those principles of our common party,
as to which there never existed a difference
between us.
Let no man who was a ''Funder Demo-
crat" say to the man who was "Readjus-
ter Democrat: Come back to us now,
the debt question is settled But let the
former say to the latter, and the latter to
the former: give years ago we were all
Democrats, without difference of opinion;
none of us have forsaken the principles of
democracy; Democracy as party, advoca-
ted no view as to the settlement of the
debt; that was question over which Dem
ocrats had right to differ, and still not
sacrifice one scintilla of their democracy ON
either side. The advocate of the one veiw
of the settlement of the debt was Read
juster, but still he was none the less DEM
ocrat.

tied, what stands between IS Did the
wedge penetrate our Democracy No! 1t

SO. The debt readiusted under the Riddle
berger Bill, there remains nothing to read
just, the 'Readjuster' drops out, and Read
juster Democrat becomes simply Demo-
crat'; the debt funded under the Riddle
berger Bill, there remains nothing to fund,
and Funder Democrat becomes simply
Democrat, and Democrat is Democrat.
Nobody has any coming back to do. We
have knocked out what was between us,
and we are all together, without any one,
who is Democrat, being oblige to come
back to anything"

THE PRICE OF A DRINK,
BY JOSEPHINE POLAR,

BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD
"Five cents glassr' Does any one think
That this is really the price of drink?
"Five cents glass;" hear you say,
"Why, that isn't very much to pay,''
All, no. indeed; tits very small sum
You are passing over twixt finger and thumb
And If that were all that you gave away,
1t wouldn't be very much to pay.
The price of a drink! Let him decide
Who has lost his courage and lost his pride,
And lies groveling heap of clay,
Not far removed from A beast to- day.
The price of drink! Let that one tell
Who sleeps tonight in amurderer's cell,
And feels within him the fires of hell.
Honor and virtue. love and truth,
All the glory and pride of youth,
Hopes of manhood, the wreath of fame,
High endeavor and noble aim
These are the treasures thrown away
AS the price OF drink from day to day. -
.Five cents glass! % How Satan laughed,
AS over the bar the young man quaffed
The beaded liquor; for the demon knew
The terrible work that drink would do;
And before morning the victim lay
With his life blood swiftly ebbing away;
And that was the price ne paid, alasl
For the pleasure OF taking a social glass.
The price of 81 drink! If you want to know
What some are willing to pay for it, go
Through that wretched tenement over there
With dingy windows and broken stair.
Where foul disease like o vampire cIawls
With outstretched wings o'er the moldy walls
Their poverty dwels VITA hungry brood;
Wild-eyed as demons for iack of fool;
Their shame in a corntr croucbes low;
There violence deals Its cruel blow;
And innocent ones are taus accurseC
To pay the price of amt! er's thirst.
give cents glass!" Oh, if that were all.
The sacrifice would indeed be small!
But the money's-worth is the least amount
We pay; and whoever Will keep account
Will learn the terrible waste and blight
That follows the ruinous appetite.

That is really the price o. q drink?

Country Schools.

Mr.. a. +. Richardson, preceptor of the
Fryeburg Academy, in his address before the
Cumberland County Teachers Association,
made some very just criticisms of our pub
lie schools, more especially of our country
schools. In the first place he criticized the
district system, on the ground that the
school agent is seldom chosen on account
of any special fitness for his work, and is in
the habit of selecting for teachers men and
women who happen to be his relatives or
friends, without much regard to their quail
fcations. Mr.. Richardson's allegations are
undoubtedly, in a large number of cases,
perhaps in the majority, true. But it il
much easier to criticise the present system
than to construct new one which shall be
free from these objections, and at the same
time acceptable in other respects. Some
years ago the plan was tried of allowing the
school committee of each town to appoint
the teachers. But brief trial demonstrat-
district system and more. The committee
were as prone to look out for their friends
as the district agent, and they looked out
for them much more effectually. The dis
trict agent only appoints teachers; if the
latter are found incompetent the committee
can turn them out, so that bad selection
by the agent can be remedied by the COM
mittee. But under the system of appoint
ment by the committee the teacher could
only be turned out by the power which ap-
pointed him. To get rid of a poor teacher
was therefore not nearly as easy as under
tue district system, for the same favoritism
or nepotism which put him in could be ex-
ercised to keep him in. A county examin-
ing board made up Unsuitable persons from
the various towns might work better, but
the towns would almost certainly object to
it as taking the management of their school
affairs out of their hands to great extent.
The chief hindrance to the progress of the
country school is not, in our opinion, the
district system, but the difficulty of getting
competent teachers under any system. The
county system might do away somewhat
with favoritism, but it could only select
teachers out of the material which was given
it. And the material is certain to be pretty
poor. The ordinary country school does not
cover more than three or four months OF the
year. Obviously, therefore, unless the sala-
ries are extravagant no trained teacher who
proposes to make teaching his occupation
can afford to teach a country school. 1t fol-
lows, then, that the business of teaching
country schools must be carried on by per-
sons who do not make it their chief occupa-
ton. Impecunious college students, and
farmers who have little to do in the
winter. must be relied upon to teach them.
This is rather poor material, as general
thing, out of which to select teachers. Oc-
easionaliy good one will be found, but the
majority will be of very Indifferent merit.
If there is any remedy for this evil we have
vet to hear of it, but until one is discovered
very serious obstacle to the progress of the
country school will remain.

It has been announced that the woods are
to be cut from Cushing's Island and a growth
of hard wood started. Although the hard
wood trees would be preferable, the propre-
tors ought to consider whether young
growth of hardwood trees will succeed on
that outer island if unprotected. Experience
shows that it is doubtful. Many years ago a
gentleman planted two little islands near
Falmouth Foreside with acorns, and a
beautiful poem was written predicting their
future gories, and telling of the stately
ships which should proceed from them and
go out to the ends of the earth; but like
Alnashar's dream of glory, related in the
Arabian Nights, which came to naught by
his kicking over his basket of glassware,
this prediction failed by the trees refusing to
grow. 1t can be seen how islands look shorn
of their crowns Of trees, by inspecting Clap
board Island or Grow Island, and it is a
question whether cottagers will care to settle
where they will have to wait for their shade
trees until they are what Mrs. Malaprop
would style cold Centurions.' Will it not
be better to thin out the present growth in
stead OF destroying it wholly, letting sufic-
lent OF 1t remain to protect the new planta-
ton and adorn the Island until the substi-
tnte is grown?
