The Country Cannot Spare Min.

From the first we have regarded the
report that Mr.. Reed would retire
from Congress and enter upon the
practice of law in New York city,
either as an invention of the enemy or
an idle rumor The country cannot
spare MIR. Reed from the national
councils. 1t is his duty to remain and
no public man has a keener sense of
duty than he nor is there one whom
people more implicitly trust to per-
form it. This Is one reason why ne
cannot be spared. 1t falls to the lot
of but few men to go through such an
ordeal as he did, when, between per-
sonal ambition on the one side and
duty to his party and country on the
other. he unquestioningly chose the
latter on every occasion. He is a
stronger statesman both by reason of
that experience and by reason of the
knowledge which the public Thereby
gained Of his rugged and grand char
acter He might say Il ha<h,sall lthe
distinction as member OF Congress
which it is possible to attain and owe
it to myself to win for my family more
of the worlds goods than it is possible
to do in public life." All this would
be true. Mr.. Reeds distinction as
speaker of the House in two MEM
orable Congresses is not overshad-
owed by that of any office in the land.
And this is another reason why he
cannot be spared. He is needed there

The RsfaI Schools. :

The rural schools deserve all the
attention they are likely to receive
There have been instances where. in
regard to city schools, it has seemed
that the incentives to innovations were
altogether too numerous. Superinten
dents and instructors are as liable, If
not more so, to become faddists, as
those of any avocation. They are
more directly dependent upon popular
favor than those of many occupations;
they are naturally impelled to do
things which they otherwise might not
do did they not feel the necessity of
attracting public attention to them
selves and their work by something
out of the ordinary, though very likely
uncalled for. If some of the super
fluous energy and money wasted in
this way could be applied to the rural
schools it would be very gratifying
pleased to note the attention State
Superintendent Stetson is giving to
this timely subject. Both more money
and deeper interest are needed to
bring the country schools up to the
plane where they belong, and to which
they must attain if the country pupil
is to keep in the race with his city
cousin. If we can succeed in quicken
ing the interest the response to the de-
mand for money will be more ready
and liberal. If the people in the rura
districts can be thoroughly aroused te
