TIE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.

Only ten days Will intervene between
now and the date of holding the Demo
cratic primaries. Between now and
then the Democrats should do some
thinking as to what the city election
this fall means. At the primaries they
viii begin their campaign. To the con-
vention which will nominate candi-
dates for the various offices there
should be sent the best and most
representative men and women in the
party, and this Win guarantee the
selection in turn of the best men and
women as candidates.
The Democrats must remember that
they viii lave 70 meet much. opposi-
ton and that every scheme viii be
worked to beat them. There is a
scheme to put non-partisan ticket in
the field, the chief argument in favor
Of it being the pretense that there can
be no party government OF this city
that will be capable and honest. Had
the present Republican city adn1inis-
tration been passably successful does
anybody believe for single instant
that the Republican Tribune and the
prominent Republicans who are now
urging the desirability of q non-par-
tisan city government would have done
so? Had they believed there was the
same prospect for the success of a
Republican ticket that they think
there is for a non partisan one, would
they not now be urging the Republican
party to stand firm for a Republican
municipal ticket and to slaun a nom
partisan one? We think we do them
no injustice in saying that they would.
! These gentlemen having embarked in
! non-partisan enterprise will be
anxious to have it succeed, and with
this end in view they Will probably
! put up very good ticket, if they put
! up any, to the personnel OF which
! there viii probably be no objection.
! This fact makes it imperative that the
Democrats put up as good a ticket as
! they can If they do this, no party can
put up a better one. They viii also
put the first ticket in the field, and
as it is excellent or Indifferent so will
it discourage or encourage the non
| partisans. If it is really excellent, the
genuine non-partisan will say: THAI
is good enough for me; why put an
other ticket in the field?"
To insure that the Democratic ticket
will be excellent the work of the pri-
maries must be excellent The mass
of the Democratic party viii demand
as good a ticket as any one viii, anC
the members of the party viii refuse
to support bad nominations. The city
election this fan is going to witness {
great deal of independent voting.
If the Democrats would win, ans
they can, they should begin at tht
primaries.

GOODWIN SMITH ON AMERICAN
SCHOOL HISTORIES.

In the current number of the North
American Review. Professor Goodwin
Smith discusses the question whether
American school histories are Anglo
phobe. From a. careful study of those
most in use he concludes that they are
not. He is particular to cite accounts
Of the causes which led up to the reyo-
luton from several of them, and they
certainly are such as cannot be said
to inculcate any hatred towards Eng
land He says that large, and what
appears disproportionate space. is
given, perhaps even in the later his
tories, TO the revolutionary war, and
the details of that war. some of which,
of course. are exasperating. since the
( royal armies unduestionably committed
excuses, and are narrated with dis
agreeable minuteness; but, he says, it
is not necessary to ascribe this to de-
liberate malice. To one who is not an
American it will doubtless always seem
that American histories devote too
| much space to the revolution; but that
revolution was our national birth and
it is natural that much space should be
devoted to it, 1t is merely treating
American affairs as being of more i'm
portance than those of any other ma
ton; and SO they are to Americans,
just as the affairs of other nations are
OF most Importance to the peoples of
those nations
/ Professor Smith recognizes that writ
ers Of American school histories have a
much harder task in writing truthfully
and impartially of the civil war than
( they have of the revolutionary war:
and so they have. The south is not
satisfied with the accounts given of the
war by northern histories; and even
! the Grand Army of the Republic is so
! i'll satisfied with them that it has IN
| dertaken to have a history of the war
written to order. No history of the civil
war can really be a, history that does
not take into account the two theories
Of constitutional construction that
have prevailed in this country since the
foundation of the government, and
does not trace the development Of those
theories. The war was the result of
causes that had persisted from the
time the colonies threw off the yoke OF
the mother country. Participants in il
can hardly be expected to take thor
oughiy impartial view of it, no matter
how much they may desire 70.
There can be no possible dissent from
this remark of the distinguished Pc
fessor: There can hardly be a greater
literary offence than the infusion,
through a school history. OF false no
tons. unworthy preiudices and base
passions into the hearts of youth"
| Where school histories are impas-
stoned and prejudiced they should be
Stunned. The true correctional fol
faulty school histories is in the hon
est and unprecedented teaching OF teach
ers who are fully imbued with the true
! historical instinct, which is simply tc
| ascertain the truth in its entirety.
