Messrs Brown and Bingham have demon
strated that they cannot divorce their political
bias, even in the selection of teachers or text
books Gentlemen who are oblivious to the
history of the United States for the past
twenty-five years are too bigoted in
their partisan faith to be custodians of
the education of the children in the
capital city of Indiana. If it be conceded
that Democrats should be elected in these
districts, to which the journal does not OBJ
ject, let them at least be citizens who will al
low the children to read the full history of
their country, who will allow them to read of
the victories of Donelson, of Shiloh, of
Vicksburg, Gettysburg of the march to the
sea, and of Appomattox; to read of the eman-
cipation of four million of slaves in their own
country, and of the glories of the warm which
their fathers and older brothers were engaged;
let this history be an open book, free to ALL
and not book to be put out Of sight and hid
den as the story of disreputable actions or of
national sins. These gentlemen have so long
been in Office that they appear to regard the
public schools as private property and to be
used for private aims only. The people
should give these gentlemen a rest.

A PAIR OF FIGHTERS.

By some remarkable process of ratiocination
the opponents of Blaine pretend that his nom
nation was the outcome of sudden rush, a
''hurra" born in the convention. The very
same papers and people are inconsistent enough
to blame Blaine with having been seeker for
this high honor at the two preceding conven-
tions, and only failed after a most desperate
fight in each instance. If this latter fact be
true, the Maine man was no dark horse; if for
eight years he had been known everywhere as
prominent candidate; if during that time
every possible thing had been said and done
to his detraction, and without perceptible
effect, it can hardly be claimed that this
Blaine enthusiasm is ephemeral and will soon
pass away. 1t will yet be discovered that while
the Republican campaign has started with a
hurra it will be fought with vim, push and
determination. The men chosen to lead the
fight are men well equipped for leadership.

His colleague has, by his heroic service in field
and forum, proved his ability tomeet any man
that may be brought to face him. Blaine and
Logan are the Ttans of the Republican party
of to-day If victory come not when they lead
the Republican phalanx, their is the
party dead, and the countrys need of it a
thing of the past. The campaign will be
fought at every point. There were deserters
from the Union army, even as there are now
stragglers from the Republican lines, but the
end will be victory now, as at Appomattox

THE Atlanta Constitution speaks with great
disrespect of the dsaffected Republicans, and
alludes to those of its own party who are open
ly rejoicing over the independents" as gain
to Democracy as so many cranks and horn
blowers. The Constitution also casts scorn
upon the Democrats who are weak enough to
believe that the Independents who write for
the papers are influential enough to counteract
the enthusiasm which the Blaine campaign
will arouse. There is no denying that the At
lanta organ has lucid intervals.
