Heroic OGicidL Integrity.

A notable example of heroic official in
tegrity was displayed Friday evening by
Judge John Laporte, of Huntingdon coun-,
ty. Pa. in surrendering to the sheriff his son
John. accused of numbering his friend, John
Irwin. at Warriors Mark After the muir
der. on Thursday night, John Laporte He'd,
reaching his fathers house Friday morning.
He stated his position to his father, who
although agonized by the news, said; John,
this is horriblel When / was made a Judge
I swore to obey the constitution and enforce
the laws of the Commonwealth, and / can
not do otherwise than surrender you up to
the officers. If you are justifiable in this
thing. as [ believe you are, you will be
cleared and your name yindicated. But II
not, the law must take its course" The
Judge Immediately harnessed his horse and
drove his son to the nearest railroad station,
where they boarded the first train and ar
rived at Huntingdon, the county seat, Fri
day night, when the son was surrendered to
the sheriff. This course seems not to have
been taken from motives of policy, but from
a pure sense of duty, 1t looks rather extra
judicial.

Cleveland Leaders Washington correspond
ent of well-informed gentleman. Are
they equal to their father| Yes, | think
So" was the reply. Robert Garrett GER
tainly is, and in some respects believe him
to be a greater man. He has that person
al magnetism which his father lacked, and
he is able to allow others to do some OF his
work for him. He is far-seeing business
man. and has great speculative ability.
Like his father, he will be true TO the rail-
road and will work for the interest OF the
stockholders. He is thorough democrat
in manners, and there is no red tape about
him or his Office. He is liked by his men,
and he is 4 most efficient manager. He
takes charge Of the road as president at
about the same age as that Of his father when
he took charge of it. Robert Garrett is
about thirty-nine years old. He is college
bred. and is a man Of art taste and literary
culture. He lives well at Baltimore, and
has one of the finest conseryatories IN the
United States. Mr.. CARROTS other son IS
Thomas Harrison Garrett, who is one Of the
leading bankers Of Baltimore. He is also
a man Of taste and culture, and it was he

ROBUST Health

Is not always enjoyed by those who seem
to possess it. The taint of corrupted
blood may be secretly undermining the
constitution. In time, the poison will GER
tainly show its effects, and with all the more
virulence the longer it has been allowed
to permeate the system. Each pimple, sty,
boil, skin disorder and sense Of unnatural
lassitude, or languor, is one of Natures
warnings of the consequences of neglect.

The School Trustees.

There Is no reason TO assume, or even to
suspect, that those members of the school
board who constitute the committee on
teachers win be controlled by unworthy
motives In the discourage Of thoir very re-
sponsible duties.
If school trustees are of any utility at
all, they are to be trusted to do what they
honestly believe to be right toward each
teacher and each applicant for place on
the teachers roll.
In every human occupation changes are
necessary-other changes than those which
result from death or voluntary retirement.
1t is not to be supposed that there are no
teachers in this city-excellent as the corps
undoubtedly is-whose places could be bet
ter filled with fresh material.
The good of the schools, not the interests
of individuals, is the object which the
trustees are supposed to have constantly in
view. The acts of individual members of
the board and OF committees are reviewed
by the full board This ought to suffice for
the correction Of mistakes.
The REPUBLICAN is not advised as to
what teachers are to be renominated, and
who, Of the present force, are likely to fail
Of denomination. But it is only fair to as
sumo that justice will be the aim Of the
board.
If this confident expectation should be
disappointed, 1t would be time to bring the
force Of public opinion to bear in the
proper quarter.
