aParsimony toward education, is libe.
erality toward crime" is a proposition that
cannot. be called: iniquestion. All others
who work r.the State receive. their pay
promptly, and the more promptly the
higher We 60 in the scale of Office; then
why should not teachers receive theirs?
The State has a right to, and does expect,
the very best service from all her. teach.
ers, and the teacher has right to good
and prompt pay for the service rendered.
We know the State is poor, and in the
poverty Of her pocket and the largeness
Of her generosity, is offering to every boy
and girl within her limits the rudiments
of common school education. The
bedrock upon which the stability of her
institutions is founded, is the intelligence
and patriotism of the masses. Every
child within the borders of the State has
q birth right to common school educa.
tion, and every. parent ,who. .neglects this
duty is guilty of q crime toward the
child, and if the State neglects this duty
by parity Of reasoning, as the common
.mother of all, she is guilty Of crime
toward her children. In point of econ.
;omy, it is cheaper to build school houses
and employ teachers, than it is to build
;jsilss sand stake care of criminals. How
many members of the Legislature would
nerve If their pay warrants were made
payable without interest one year from
date And yet, that is exactly what is
expected Of the teacher. And the con-
sequence is that nearly all the best male
teachers of the County have been driven
out of the profession and forced to seek
more lucrative employment, and the best
female teachers remain in it only because
there is no other line of business open
to them. If the State cannot get the
money, let her make the teachers claims
bear interest from date. But still
better plan would be to authorize the
County Commissioners to borrow the
money. Let the teachers, trustees and
school patrons agitate the matter, and let
us go before the next Legislature and
ask that something be done for u.s..

MERIT OF TffE TRAINING.
Desiring to compare the relative merits
of the training given here With that of
other institutions, we were allowed to
attend the class exercises, and were
favorably impressed with both the
thorough manner of the professors and
with the proficiency of the students. We
were invited to give theses to members
of the senior class, with thirty.six hours
to prepare essays upon them. 1t is fair
to the young gentlemen to state that they
had only been out of the junior class
eight weeks.) These essays were pro
duced in good English, read in good
style, and some of them we're so able as to
greatly astonish US, when We remembered
that these boys, four years before, had
entered this institution without more
preparation than 10 read and write, and
to cypher through fractions. Those who
have graduated here and have gone to
medical colleges and elsewhere, have
competed with those who went from other
colleges for the honors, while the position
attained by the graduates speaks equally
we'll. One has obtained professorship
at salary of $2,250; four professorships.
at salaries of 81 200 two at salaries OF
$1,000; four assistant professorships at
salaries of $500, and so on, while many
are experimenting creamerles. stock

pointed out, deep breaking is likely to
pay as far as manures containing a large

Otherwise these manures had better be
applied months before hand to some

support of his government. Among
others was the privilege of manufacture

Gle was great at this time, and large
fortunes were made by those who had
purchased the exclusive right to vend
it. This, among other monOpOlies,
was set aside by the parliament that
brought Charles to the scatfOld, and
by way of showing their contempt for
the King, they ordered the royal arms
to be taken from the paper, and a fool,
with his cap and bells, to be substitute

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

After 4 session of several days the
Republican convention at Chica 70
brought forward as its presidential
candidates Benjamin II. Harrison. of
Indiana. and Levi Z. Morton, of New
York.
The friends of Mr.. Blaine had hatch
ed out a pretty scheme to cur his
nomination, which was only frustrated
by that g~entleman's persistent refusal.
John Sherman,s friends nobly fought
his cause to the last ditch, but gould
not save him. Once more the Ohioan's
ambition was nipped by the chill blast
of failure, and it may now be said that
his presidential possibilities are set
tied forever.
OF the ticket. various views are ex-
pressed. But it may be assumed that
it was put forth with the sole view of
trying to capture Indiana and New
York. Mr.. Harrison seems to have
no especial merits Of his own, but
much stress is laid upon the fact that
he is the fortunate descendant Of II
distinguished grandfather and great
grandfather. This is certainly a new
element in American politics, seized
upon and introduced by the Republi-
a as a last measure to regain the
popular favor. But it is contrary to
American principles, according to
which every mar has to depend upon
his W merits for political preferment
and not upon the glory Of a departed
ancestor. Of this fact the Republicans
themselves have had a most practical
illustration in the late candidatUre OF
Col. Fred Grant for Secretary Of the
State of New York. But they seem
not to have protitted by the lesson OF
the people, which is most apt to be re-
peated with more stress.
Mr.. Morton is Il millionaire banker
of New York and his nomination Wa.
a surprise to the whole country. His
name had never been mentioned il
connection with the second place OIL
the Republican ticket before the SEES
sion of the convention began drawing
to a close. OF course, he owes his
nomination principally to the ADVENT
tious fact that he is a New Yorker
but there is also Il faint suggestion
that the consideration of the acknowl.
edged influence of the famed "barrel'
in American politics materially adj
vanced his cause before the conven-
ton. What weight he will bring tt
the ticket is not yet known.
In their platform the Republican.
have gone squarely back upon theil
tariff plank OF 1884, which was almost
identical with the Democratic plank
of that year. They pronounce them
selves for free whisky and free tobac.
co, reiterate q out platitudes and
put in a high bid for almost every
thing in sight. They have spread out
the honey with the hopes of catching
