Since our Republican friends have
this year fused with the Greenback-
ers, in order that hungry radicals
may be gotten into office, it is we'll to
consider in what ESTIMATION the
Greenbackers were held by Republi-
cans few years ago.
The Grafton Sentinel, Republican,
in January 1879, said: "Our able
contemporary, the Wheeling Intelli-
gencer, expresses some surprise at
finding the Greenbackers and Demo
Gratis in the Legislature in such har-
monious relations. Why, has it not
been generally understood by leading
democratic politicians land others
that the Greenback movement, so far
as West Virginia is concerned is only
Democratic side shoW in which to
entrap careless and unwary Repub-
licans."
The Fairmont West Vigginian,
Republican, about the same date,
said: "The Greenback element in
the Legislature went into the Demo
cratic caucus in the House Of Dele
gates last Tuesday night at Wheel
ing, and one and all mingled together
as il they had always belonged to the
same political household. This was
as 1t should be. There is really no
third party IN this country
The Parkersburg State Journal,
Republican, about the same date,
speaking of the Greenbackers called
them "crazy Kearneyites" and says,
"Their doctrines are the precursor OF
Reputation; from thence to commun-
ism is an easy stride and from that
to anarchy and national ruin is the
inevitable consequence"
The Morgantown Pos, Republican,
Of September 1878 said; "The Green
back movement is q Jallacy. 1t was
started by set OF yef'orns,sAriekers
and demagegues for their own selfish

For three weeks the Blaine people
have kept the calumnies about Gov
ernor Cleveland before the public.
They have been exceedingly industri-
Gus in their work, and organs which
have affected decency that would
not allow them to print the filthy mat
ter have taken care that it should
not be forgotten.
Meantime a Chicago paper, which
is not the organ of either party, has
found still more disgusting story
about Blaine. This has been printed
in detail, and the Democrats will be
very fortunate if they do not find
themselves and their organs giving
it the same kind of encouragement
that has been given by Republicans
to the Cleveland ISLANDERS. One of
these indecent stories has about as
much truth in it as the other.
A number of Independent Rcpub
licans of Buffalo--the home of Gov.
Cleveland have shown how false
and malicious is the story about the
Democratic candidate. Similar tes-
timony is given by others, not Demo

Brother Blaine and the Soldiers.
AT the meeting of the Grand
Army of the Republic at Old Or
chard Beach, last week, Mr.. Blaine
made speech to the veterans 1t
was full of the war spirit and the
fervent patriotism which sent from
Maine not less than 70, 1000 volun-
teers to serve in the Union army.
We quote glowing passage from
Mr.. ,Blaine's address to the soldiers :
MY mind is carried back to the
winter of IS6I-to the excitement,
the elation, and at the same time
the seriousness and the sadness of
that ominous and critical era.
wildly remember every incident as
we stood on the eve of the gigantic
struggle when at last the war cloud
burst, and President Lincoln issued
his proclamation for 5000 men.
Maine was asked for one regiment.
Gov. Washburn Immediately sum-
moned an extra session of the Leg
islature. | had the honor at that
time to be Speaker of the House
of Representatives. Patriotism was
fervid, confidence was strong, and
we younger members of the Legis-
lature-I was but 81 years old my
self-determined to do something
very bold. something that we ven.
tured to hope would be rather APP
palling to the Confederate Govern
ment.
The boldness of the thing which
young Mr.. Blaine did in the early
fervor of his patriotism has given
it fixed place in history. He
turned his attention to the paper
bounty business, providing for
towns which could not fill their
quota. A little later he happened
to be drafted himself. He promptly
procured substitute, being busy
just then looking after the manu-
facture and sale of Spencer rifles to
the Government. But bold as was
Brother Blaine's deed, it could not
have been very appalling to the
Confederacy. Even the substitute
did not go to the front. He was
provided with a place in the Pro-
vost Marshal's office at Augusta,
was soon caught stealing, and his
martial visage was thereafter visible
only through the iron bars of the
county Jail.
Strict regard for historical truth
compels us to say that this was the
fashion in which Brother Blaine S
burning patriotism and military
ardor swept him at the age Of thir-
ty-one into the vortex of the war.

The Free schools of Monongalfa
COunfy.


Now that the time has come when
school boards. trustees, patrons and
teachers are interested in the success
of next winters school work, we have
suggestion or two to offer and a
question or two to PROFOUND.
The free schools OF Monongalia
county have a good record. The in
defatigable labors of Superintendent
Wade and Morgan have built up our
schools and made them to be heard
of in many parts of the State. A few
years ago the "Wade Graduating
System" gave them decided impetus
and the push toward has never been
allowed to change into a reaction.
The most modern methods have been
introduced into many of the best
schools, and educational journals are
in the hands of all the leading teach
ers. The "ox-gad'' has been rele-
gated to the bow-wows, and those
who instruct are no longer called
masters" but .teachers"-a change
which indicates higher civilization
and a better knowledge of human
nature.
Yet in spite of these favorable feat
ures, of which we speak with much
pleasure and pride, our free schools
are not to-day what they ought to be
and what, with the help of school
boards and trustees, they could be
made. The schools are in session
but four months in the year, except
in the independent district of Nor
gantown. This tells sorry tale.
But four months in the year, and
these in the dead Of winter; in the
mud and snow and bleak winds of
winter when the little ones must
either stay at home or run the risk
of dangerous colds and blue frozen
fingers and noses. In many sub-dis-
tricts in this county children have
to walk at least two miles over the
muddiest kind of roads in order to
reach the nearest school house. No
wonder some ofthem quit before they
begin.
There is no good reason why the
schools should not continue at least
six months in the year. A few years
ago it was SO, and who felt his taxes
to be appreciably heavier then than
now? A few cents on the hundred
dollars would pay all additional ex-
penscs. Then in the, fall while the
roads are yet good and the weather
pleasant, the smaller children, who are
not at all needed at home, could have
the advantages of instruction which
are in n great measure denied them
now.
Shall Monongalia be behind other
counties in this matter?
Quite number of other counties
have six months school term, some
of them eight. We must have it too,
or be left far, far behind in this fast
age.
Our last question is: Where does
the responsibility rest?
With the boards Of education and
with the people themselves.
The school law of West Virginia
says: eff the board of education OF
any district agree that the schools in
their district should be continued
more than four months in the year, OF
if twenty or more voters Of the district
ask it in writing, they shall submit
the question to the voters thereof &c. "
Now let some district in Monon.
gala county bring honor upon itself
by providing for session of at least
six months during the coming school
year.
