There is Que thing sure, and it is fact
that people of Sedgwick county need not be
reminded of, and that is, there is no more
competent probate judge in the state OF
Kansas than f. b. ,Jewett Being "A lawyer
and a man Of excellent judgment, withal, no
sharper has ever yet succeeded in defraud-
ing widow or minor heir of one cent in

count whenever man offers himself for
this responsible position, but knowledge
and experience are often of more value to
the fathcrless child and inexperienced wild

As to his ability and experience, we don't
believe he has an equal in the state in the

with some other calling, and il is not an I'M

The Topeka Capital at Last Goes
Back on Him

The Capital has not taken part in the
abuse of a personal character that the press
of Kansas has heaped upon John Z. st.
John. Personally We have believed in the
purity of his motives while We condemned
his course on becoming candidate of a
third party as unwise and productive only
OF harm 10 prohibition. In this grea, strug-
gle between the north and the south fer
control of the government, we have be-
lieved If the duty of every patriot to stand
by the party that saved the country from
the solid south. The recent actions and
speeches of Governor ST John indicate
that he is determined TO do all in his power
10 assist the Democrats to a national yicto-
ry. His ambition TO figure as a national
candidate leads him to apologize for
the Democrats. while his bitter
and hostile sentences indicate his
desire TO defeat the Republican party. 1t is
plain to every observer that to-day in the
state of New York Governor ST. John is
acting the part of traitor to every Repub-
lican sentiment he has ever uttered. He

A LAST WORD.

The weekly EAGLE goes to press To-Day.
Before another issue is printed the people OF
America will have again passed upon the
great questions involving the perpetuity OF
our prosperity as a nation, will have said
whether the government Of the United
States for the past twenty-five years has
been success or failure. Ii is IA solemn
duty the discharging of what must not only
effect the present but the future. For
months past the issues have been discussed,
and all the interests involved presented from
every political standpoint, and, in the heat
Of the campaign many hard things hive
been said for the purpose of swaying and
prejudicing the minds of men who have for
many years pinned their faith TO the princi-
piles and policies ofthe party which saved the
nation in its darkest hour and which party has
so far preserved and guided its affairs. The
Republican party is the same to-day that it
ever was, no matter what may be said of any
member of it and every vote given
against it, locally or otherwise, by Rcpub-
lican, will be vote regretted, in our hum
BILE judgment, for after all the great national
party and its policies rest upon the county
and township organize tions, Ter there is not
a county or township in the land in which
there are not local issues ri stake and in
which are not found some man or men en-
deavoring to tear down and weaken the local
organizations of the Republican party.
We have upon the one hand the party of
loyalty led by man eminent for his wisdom
and public services, and, upon the other,
the old disloyal party headed by a man
known only for his weaknesses and failures.
These are the parties and the men and there
are no others so far rs this election Is con-
cerncd. This being tho case it would seem
that the duty of every Republican is plain,
is 30 vote the entire clean ticket without so
much as scratching the candidate for coro-
ner.
As to Sedgwick county and our local Re
publican ticket the only thing which has
threatened il is the efforts of the disaflected
TO defeat il; the words and work of men
whose only hope Of future preferment lies in
the chance Of the Democratic party coming
into power As TO the county Republican
ticket there is not man whose name APP
pears upon it for whom any apologies need
be made They are every one honorable,
trustworthy and above all. men who have
stood true TO their political convictions. Up
ON the other hand the county, senatorial and
up, more than one-half, of men who have
gone back on their principles and are only
training with the Democratic party because
of personal aims and ambitions.
Remember next Tuesday, and let every
Republican be true to himself.

Why PrOhibitiOnists Will Not Vote
the Republican Ticket.

Mr.. Editor In response to your brief edi-
torial of July Both upon the prohibitionist
presidential nomination, we desire TO briefly
mention, for the information of your readers,
few reasons why republican prohibitonists
do not propose to vote the regular republican
ticket. They regard the liquor question of
more vital importance 10 the people of this
country than the tariff, civil-service reform, or
any other issue involved in this campaign, yet
the national republican convention at Chicago
refused to allow the subject to be mentioned
in the party platform, and the democrats prac-
tically declared against prohibition in their
platform. Believing thus, the prohibitionists
are forced to organize party for themselves,
as there Is no opportunity for genuine tenn
perance man" to vote for his principles in
either of the great parties. II the republicans,
In attempting to reach 80 far each way as to
secure both the temperance and liquor votes,
miss their grip and fall between the two, Civ
ing the election to the democrats, the fault Is
their own. The offer of prohibition support
WAS rendered the republicans and practically
spurned at Chicago for fear OF alternating the
liquor vote. This Is year of political strad-
dies The democratic platform practically ia
vors free whiskey and straddes the tariff
question. The republican platform favors the
tariff, and by its silence attempts to straddle
the liquor issue 1t cannot be successfully ac-
complished this year The prohibition and
liquor votes are not compatible. They do not
coalesce naturally in the same party. party
cannot successfully serve God and the devil
both at the same time. II the temperance
men desire help in their cause, they must help
themselves. All past and present experience
shows they have nothing to hope for from
either political party. So long as they remain
quiet in the old parties, and when their APP
peals are denied, as they are systematically,
tamely submit to the party lash and vote the
ticket, their temperance principles will be re-
garded by the party managers as commend
able private individual sentiments, but unsafe
and impolitic to be given any serious consider

Normal Schools.

Mr.. Editor The school statistics " in your
paper OF July 23d suggest some thoughts
From those figures it appears that less than
one in eight of the teachers of our public
schools in this state have attended Vermont
normal school. From an extensive inquiry
among superintendent Of schools lately, |
have found uniform statement by them that
graduate OF a normal school, other things
being equal. makes the quality of school taught
by that graduate much better than another
teacher Of equal ability who has not had
training. This being the general fact, and
also in view of the fact that wages of
both male and female teachers are in ad-
vance from what they were-and this in con-
nection with the somewhat widespread COM
plant that our public schools are not improv-
ing, and are not doing the work they out TO do
moves us to ask If something should not be
done in way of improvement The first ques-
ton is, What can be done? Every one
familiar with public schools will say, Secure
better qualified teachers" The state offers to
pay tuition for two hundred and forty pupils
each year in the normal schools for those who
propose to teach in the state. This is test-
mony the state bears to the fact that such
teachers are better qualified than others. Such
a suggestion ought TO be needed by the officers
who hire teachers, by the superintendent who
examine the teachers and visit the schools and
by the patrons who pay the bills and those
who send the scholars II it should take on
the average, two full school years for one to
graduate at normal school, the state would
then be providing scholarships for one hundred
and twenty to graduate each year This is
nearly double the number who now graduate
from the normal schools of the state. This,
with the number who would prefer to pay their
tuition, would increase greatly the number of
persons always wanted in the schools with
normal training Certainly one-half, instead of
one-eighth of our teachers, ought to have such
preparation as the state, in its wisdom, pro.
VldeS and esteema best. And a little urpanpy
ought to be applied by patrons and officers OF
schools to move those intending to teach in
securing such preparation True the super
vision of schools seems to be looked upon in
many places as merely nominal thing Per-
sons may be put into the office OF superin-
tendent with the sly hint that no one expects
much work done in the office. Yet let him who

alton in the party counsel The prohibitonsts
are voting for principle, not policy, this year.
They have been cajoled into voting the regular
party ticket by the same cry that Is again be-
ing used this year-that vote for prohibit IN
is, In effect, vote for the opposition As far
as prohibition is concerned, vote for either
party is vote for the opposition, and IL the
republicans will not recognize the prohibition
element in their party the prohibitioDists must
act independently, even at the risk Of demo-
cratic success This country was forced to
suffer the terrible evils of the civil war TO
emancipate itself from the curse of slavery,
and II we must suffer one democratic admin
istrati1n in order to bring !" the party Of great
moral ideas to just sense Of its duty-the
sooner the better-let 1t be the next admins
tration. One democratic administration with
republican senate, and a possible republican
house, cannot seriously injure the material
interests OF our great country, and IL the re.
publicans lose this time, by joining the prohi-
bitionists whom they claim are all republicans
they can next time redeem the country and
still be in party possessing all the good prin-
ciples they now possess, with the one supreme
added virtue of temperance indelibly stamped
upon the party platform. They will be In
position to protect not only the manufacture
ing establishments, but also the homes of this
country. The prohibitionists have no ambi-
ton to found new party II the old parties
will only have the moral courage to perform
what they already know to be their duty
Neither do the republican prohibtionists de-
sire to see Cleveland elected. We desire, as
we know st. John cannot be elected this year,
to see Blaine elected, but with margin 80
narrow, and the prohibition vote so large, that
the republican party will never dare to again
trlfe with the temperance men of this country.
We shall vote for st. John, however-vote as
we believe our duty demands-and If the dem
ocrats win thereby, allow the responsibility to
fall where 1t belongs-upon the republican
convention which stands facing both ways H.

THE tickets are complete in this state.
The election is near at hand. Now it is
question of majorities. 1t is due to
each state, district and county official, that
he be given as full vote as at previous
elections in presidential years. Colonel
Pingree should go into the executive
chair, backed by as round majority as
was given to Colonel Farnham four years
ago. He is every whit as worthy, it will
not be denied, and Vermonters will fail
in their duty to him-a brave soldier, a
modest and deserving civil officer-if they
suffer his majority to fall below that
given for his predecessor in 1880.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1884-08-06

ment, there was perhaps a higher and
more intellectual enjoyment. He had
found literature its own great reward.
"Of course his enemies will say that
this was pretence; that all the while he
was engaged in very deep scheme for the
nomination. Well, he must have been
very deep indeed, to be able to conspire
so secretly that nobody could discover it,
and yet 80 effectually as to carry by storm
the hearts of millions of people. For this
manifestation of popular feeling, there
must be a reason. There is no effect with
out cause, and for great effect there
must be great cause. Where there is
such unbounded popularity, the reason
must be in the man himself. OF no man
is this more true than of Mr.. Blaine. He
is born leader of men. Wherever he is,
he comes to the front by the natural power
that is in him. Those who saw him in
the speakers chair in the house of repre-
sentatives, saw how completely he ruled
that sometimes stormy body. He held
it in his hand as completely as ever did
Henry Clay.
"Even his enemies are forced to concede
his great ability, and therefore direct
their attacks against his character. We
are not ignorant of the imputations upon
his integrity, to which some whom we
hold in high respect attach grave inn
portance. Nor would we put aside such
charges lightly, as unworthy of attention.
We cannot be too sensitive to the charac-
ter Of our public men, and would not
belittle anything of serious import. But
really, when man has been 80 conspicu-
GUS for quarter of century, mark for
all eyes aud all tongues, and the only
thing-or the chief thing-that can be
brought against him is a sentence or two
picked out of private letters written fifteen
years ago, it does seem as if his assailants
we're hard pressed for material. If all
the private correspondence of our public
men were thus to be scrutinized by sharp
and unfriendly eyes, how many righteous
men would there be left in our American
Israel ?"
