mental right and wrong. This is not
the republicanism that was marshaled
under the banner of Fremont, that
elected Lincoln, that defeated the de-
mocracy in six consecutive elections,
and it is not the republicanism that
must be invoked to retrieve the disas-
ter that befell the party in its last ma
tional convention. Republication must
" face forward not backward for
ward to the completion of reforms I'M
dertaken, to the devising and achieving
of new measures of wise and progressive
craftsmanship, to the righting of
wrongs and correcting of abuses; not
backward to the reviving of expiring
sectional issues, to moping over old
feuds, or planning schemes of revenge.
We are glad to believe that The
WATCHMAN readers, in an overwhelm-
ing majority, are republicans who are
facing forward; that they have eagerly
followed THE WATCHMAN's leadership
and that they would have been FESTIVE
under less candid or less vigorous polit-
ical teachings.

Compulsory Drawing.

The following, from the Art Moga-
zine, illustrates in practical manner
the value of a knowledge of drawing
and the necessity for compulsory in
struction in the art As matter of
fact, in the practical crafts by which
the bulk of the people gain living, a
knowledge of simple drawing is of more
substantial importance than the ability
to write; and as a lad who can write
better than his school-felows stands
better chance than they of getting
berth in counting-house, so another
who can draw even a little will make
better carpenter than those who can
not draw at all. Rather late in the day
we have found this out. The discov-
cry was the handspring of the system
OF national art training; the knowledge
OF it is the impelling force of the great
movement for technical instruction
which is now in full swing. So long as
the industrial prosperity of England
depended merely upon the spread of
railways, the multiplication of steam
ships, the stream of splendid mechani-
cal inventions, and the increased guam
tity and cheapness of production which
resulted therefrom, the influence of
elementary art-teaching upon manu-
facturers and upon national taste could
be ignored, and, to the great loss of this
country, it was ignored. But that state
of things has almost wholly passed
away. Our continental competitors
nowadays buy our machinery, or
themselves make as good and the pinch
of competition is felt at this time not
merely in the cost but also in the taste
of production. The great nations of
Europe had sharper eye to the future
than we. For thirty years they have
devoted themselves to this question of
elementary art-teaching; and in nearly
all the elementary schools of the con-
tinent drawing is not merely taught, but
is, and for long has been, compulsory.
And the results are so striking, so
beneficial throughout the range of in
dustry and manufacture, that our own
royal commission, appointed to inquire
into the facts some years ago, when the
truth could no longer be gainsaid, has
just recommended that drawing should
be incorporated with writing as sin
gle elementary subject, compulsory in
all primary schools, and that it should
be continued throughout the standards.

THE queen has written letter thank
ing the editor of the Pail MaU Gazette
for the recent exposure of the traffic in
young girls for immoral purposes. Mr..
Gladstone has also expressed his ap-
proval of the work done by the Gazette
in directing public attention sharply to
the enormous wickedness existing in
the heart of London and fostered by
the laws of Great Britain. The arch
bishop of Canterbury, the bishop of
London, Cardinal Manning and the
Hon. Samuel Morley have consented to
act as committee of inquiry into the
charges of aristocratic iniquity made
is looked upon as one of the most eX-
traordinary, in the high character of
its members, ever organized, has begun
the work of investigation. The Gazette
has placed in confidence before the
committee every detail of the evidence
gathered by the reportorial commission,
on which it relies to prove the exist
ence of the wickedness unveiled by it,
Every reporter engaged in the Gazette's
investigation will appear under oath
before the committee, and each will
produce all the memoranda gathered
by him during the several weeks of in
quiry, together with all the addresses,
letters, portraits, descriptions and iden-
tifications of persons, certificates and
agreements collected and referring in
any wise to persons directly or indi-
rectly implicated in the discoveries
made. The committee will treat con-
fidentially all the information placed be-
fore it, and will make general report
as to the truth of the Gazette's revela-
tions.

PERSONAL.

In accordance with an announcement
already made, it is expected that The
WATCHMAN will be transferred to Mr..
d. w. Dixon during the present week,
and that this will be the last issue I'M
der the present management. In re-
firing, the publisher desires to make
suitable acknowledgements to those who
have contributed so much to his sue
cess during the past three years. He
is especially indebted to the faithful
and trusty helpers in the office, each
one of whom has filled his place with
marked fidelity to the proprietor's in
terests, and to them all he tenders his
hearty thanks. 1t is proper that special
mention should be made of the valuable
services of Mr.. Arthur Ropes, to whose
ability and labors THE WATCHMAN is
greatly indebted for the high estima-
ton in which it is held by its large
circle of readers. Mr.. Ropes has con-
Quoted the editorial department with a
marked degree of success, he has Sc
lected nearly all of the excellent mis-
cellaneous matter which has appeared
from week to week, and in addition he
has done some of the most important
reportorial work The publisher and
the editor have been in hearty accord
in the whole policy of the paper, have
earnestly labored for what they consid-
cred to be the best interests of the pub
lie, and sever their present relations
with sincere regret. Mr.. Ropes will
take much needed vacation during the
summer, after which he will be ready
to continue his work in any favorable
field. To DR.. T. II. Hoskins, the eff
cient agricultural editor, are rendered
the warmest expressions of apprecia-
ton of the signal ability with which he
has conducted his department May
he live long to continue his efficient
work for TIE WATCHMAN. Mr.. Dixon,
who will hereafter assume control of
the paper, comes to his new field of
work with long experience and a
wide acquaintance throughout the state,
and the present publisher heartily COM
mends him to the favorable considera-
ton of THE WATcHMAN family.

Notes and Notions.

BUFFALO COURIER: 3" The spoils
system may not disappear without a
struggle, but it is the task and deter
mination of the present administration
to break it up so completely that its
restoration will become impossible,
whatever political changes the future
may have in store.'
BosTON HERALD: If our national
debt were as large per capita as Canada's
it would amount to about So 300 900, 900,
or twice as much as it is to-day. If it
were as much in proportion to wealth,
it would be nearly Sc 10000, 900. That
is to say, Canada's debt is about $50
per capita, while ours is but little more
than half as much'
BRATTLEBoRo PHGNIX: " In other
words, There is opposition to Senator
Edmunds, am willing there should be,
and-let us wait and see what comes of
it, Is the Phanic right in thinking
this is what Governor Smiths express
sion sounds like? All the gentlemen
credited with senatorial aspirations in
opposition to Senator Edmunds have
now been heard from. Stick a pin
here"
HARTFORD COURANT: "There is an
evident fear on the part of many of our
democratic contemporaries that the
president is sincere in his professions
of regard for the principles of civil SER
vice reform. They know that the
honest civil service REFORM which the
trainers of the Chicago platform had in
mind, was one which counted all repub-
lican ofiice-h olders as of necessity ras-
sails who must be turned out. That
the president should be more sincere is
a contingency which they contemplate
with horror"
PHILADELPHIA PRESS Qepublican):
" We prefer to think that the president
means what he says, and that, in spite
of the difficulties, he intends to carry
the country forward to better system.
The people have been willing to believe
that he means more and better than his
party. If he will faithfully act in the
spirit of his letter to Mr.. Curtis, he can
do vast deal to bring all parties up to
higher conception of the public SER
vice, and to fix the reform principle on
a lasting basis. Earnest and thinking
men, without regard to party, would bid
him God-speed in that work"
EDWARD KEARNEY, an old Tam
many sachem: " You ask me if
| am satisfied with Cleveland. Why
should / not be? He promised, if
elected, to give the people an admins
tration conducted on business princ-
