He is in place Of authority. has
rights which law and society will pro-
tect, and consequent duties which
he cannot escape. He is in the place
Of the parent. His right to prompt
and cheerful obedience from every pu-
pill is clear. His duty is no less clear
to win love and respect.


Obedience, prompt and willing il
may be, but ut any rate obedience, is
the basis Of all order and discipline
in school. The ways of securing this
are as varied as are the skill. tact and
invention of teachers. Whether il
shall be obtained mainly by love or by
the lash, by appeals TO physical or
moral motives, to fear or emulation,
are questions about which there may
be different opinions. But the object
itself, obedience, should he gained, or
all is lost A failure in this particular
has sent ruin through thousands of
families and schools.

Who calls his father tho old man? 2"
Here he is. You would know him at
a glance. He is SO afraid that he will
be classed boy, that he must tell of
the old man, which signifies that he
has charge Of things now, and the
father is q secondary parsonage. If
there is anything We heartily dcspise
it is to hear parents disrespc ctfully
spoken Of :; we never heard sprout
Of boy speaking of his father in
such terms without strong desire to
laugh at the comical picture before
us. If "Great II is sitting down,
he throws his head back, and talks of
what he advised the old man to do


And then he tries SO hard to look self
possessed, as if he had always been a
man himself, that he overdoes the
matter entirely, aud We can but think
of baby rooster in it's first attempts
at a cock-a doodle-doing. If young
men, and would'be young men, knew
how perfectly disgusting, as well as
ridiculous and disrespectfully, they
appear in calling their father the old
man, they would soon discontinue the
shameful practice. And they would
find that when they respect others
| they themselveswould be respected.

SALNA, Sept. %.


Justice to the people of this community
demands that some explanation be made 10
regard to transactions preceding "the raid
on Salina,"


In the first place, no community in Kan
sas has felt more secure than we have.
Rumors of trouble gave US no uneasiness.
When warned Of danger we treated it with
indifference. For this state of feeling We
are no doubt worthy of blame. But we
have just received lesson that will add to
our stock of prudence. "Wolf! wolf p
had been cried so often when no wolf was
near, that We had begun to believe that the
animal did not exist. Another thing that
added to our indifference, was the fact that
reports and rumors of danger always come
from the East, and not from the West.
Persons have left here and gone to the
Eastern part of the State and there learned
sor the first time of depredations committed
iu this part Of the country, that we're never
heard of here.


The gang that made the raid on Salina
had no doubt been prowling around the
neigbborhood for near six weeks. Some Of
the party had been in town trading, and
remained in i, all night. They had been
met by our hunters; number of citizens
had talked with them. If any felt uneasy
or alarmed at their presence, they certainly
said very little about it. At last an indi-
vidual took the responsibility of sending
information to Fort Riley in regard to the
party. The information professed to be
definite, giving the supposed character Of
the party, the number and distance of the
camp from town. The commandant of the
Post Immediately dispatched force to this
place, not only sufficient but anxious to
take them, and in the full belief that they
would have no trouble in finding them from
this place. When the troops marched into
Salina, l do not believe that there were
three men in the county that knew they had
been sent for, or for what purpose they had
come. That the people we're surprised
when they heard the cause of their coming
is true. The officer in charge expected here
to obtain all necessary information, and any
assistance needed. am sorry to say that
he found but little of the one and less of
the other. The individual who had sent
such definite information to the Post had
nothing to communicate; did not believe
that the party sought were within seventy
FIVE miles of Salina. When others were
asked, they knew nothing about the matter
and said so. Most were disposed to make
light of the whole matter. The result was
that those who had come ready and willing
to do us great favor, went back feeling
that we had treated them very shabbily. 1n
regard to guide, after the true state of the
case was learned, none was needed or de-
sired. That pay was asked for such service
l am sorry to learn, is too true, and all who
l have heard express any opinion, are
ashamed that such should have been the
case We do not think that the whole
settlement ought to suffer through the blum
der Of one, or be held responsible for that
which We did not authorize.

This being the true philosophical view OF the

of England has yet to go down before the
modern iron fleets of America, like the ripe
corn beneath the sickle of the reaper is fact
beyond all peradventure. This slave trade
treaty is one of many other elements that must
hasten this result; and in planting these fruit
full seeds of future wars with England we per-
