These wbe deride and these who com
plain of the Democrat le resolve te
"fight" for their legal rights In the elec
toral matter.rather than submit te being
defrauded of them, have short memories,
la 1876 the Democrats fairly elected a
president ; his election was backed by a
popular majority of nearly a quarter
million ; be was the. clear and unques
tioned choice of a fairly chosen electoral
majority and bis title was as indisputable
m Jeffersen's, or Van Buren's, or Lin
coln's. Nevertheless, en the day after the
election, a few desperate Republicans
led byihe Chandlers, set up the same
Impudent claim that they de new. By
mischievous agitation, audacious claims
and by threats of force and anarchy
they get the country into a condition of
social disorder and business demeral
Izatien, which impressed a majority of
the Democratic congressmen with the
necessity or propriety of submitting
their cases te an extra constitutional
and altogether unprecedented tribunal.
Being composed of conspicuous men,
the majority of them supreme court
judpes and senators, there was some
popular confluence that they would de
cide the case honestly and fairly.
Frem the start everv Republican
en the coramleslen sei himself
te tbe work of counsel for his
party C'.rrV-l assumed ti judgp or
acnes l.e had helped te mui.-ifaciure;
.Edmunds lent all the power of his
Intellect te Ue consummation of fraud;
Cenkllng, after having resolved te de
clare the truth, listened te a siren voice
that lured him te silence. But, worst
of all, Bradley, the umpire of that
tribunal, after harin? made tin h!q
Wj? judgment in favor of ceuutlng Flerida
ler inu xremecrais anu aucr reaaing ins
opinion te that effect te one of his asso
ciates, changed it at the instance of
partisan persuasion.
Had the case been decided upeu any
uniform principle of law, however
erroneous, the eight triers who made the
Republican majority might have get
credit for consistency ; but, te win their
stake, they applied one principle in one
case and the contrary in another, and
only made fraud triumphant by the
grossest perversion of their own law
When it suited they went behind the
returns and wnen it affected tfiem un
favorably they refused te de it ; they
threw out votes in one pmce,and counted
ballets never cast in another ; theystoed
en technicalities when te their Interest
and invoked the equities when that best
served them. There was neither
coherency nor consistency, law nor
logic in their methods. Their only aim
was teReat a man net elected ; and the
Democrats, having waived .their rights
at the eutcet, never recevered them.
The recollection of these historical
fteta very naturally makes the Deme
crats new sensitive as well as suspicious.
They de well net only te be en their
guard, but. te serve notice pn their lead
ers whose weakness betrayed them eight
years age, that they will net tolerate
fraud nor ratity undue concessions in
this crisis. The claim of Blaine's elec
lien is utterly unsupperieu ey any
figures yet produced ; and, while'pepular
cmfJdenee in the success of Cleveland
remains and no legal reason te dispute ii
is adduced. Democrats cannot betoeposi
tlve nor vigilant in maintaining an atti
tude that will deter any repetition of
the surrender and robbery of 1S70-77.
The 'ew Sonth.
The temper or the Southern peep'e
thnugheut tbe presidential struggle of
th last few months has been admirable
Tuetoiipef their press, the sentiment of
their speeches and the conduct of the
populace have been w.Il calculated te
dispel the fears of some easily alarmed
Republicans, that the "Solid Seuth' is
te be a menace te the moral or material
prosperity of the country under Deme
cratic administration.
Surely no such assurance was needed
for the conviction of any observant man
of thoughtful habit. All such knew
that the conservation of order In the
Seuth, the reign of geed government, the
protection of the colored race and the
prosperity of that whole section have
followed the restoration of the state gev
eruments te the Democracy. While
Louisiana and Seuth Carolina remained

bajtger tv i scalawag, iud uly e leii

retarded ml r ;.- tr juUiim c-i'inued.
Since 1877 th , ive subsided and ma
terial development has blossomed In the
track of law and order.
Hew senpeless In view of all this for
men te keip up a sectional clamor I It
"Was noticeable that Mr. Blaine, hoeeful
of a Siuthrndlvenlen in his favor,
never assailed the Seuth until after the
West "Virginia election had geue against
bis party. Then he blazed out In his Fert
Wayne speech and his kept it up ever
since, Among all his exhibitions of bad
taste none was worse than his dispatch
claiming his right te consider himself
elected because he had a popular "major
lty of 300,000 in the Northern states."
And new he produces, In the way of
further inciting sectional discord,"many
distinct and slsniflsinl telegrams from
theSuth, from men who wereCenfed

feartlr.t lnei-der may become chronic

tcn." It would be well te knew who his cor cer
rasp;)!idwts are. Ten chances te one
they wauHb-ief the mist disreputable
charaeter, who have no Interest in pice
and pr n-irrity Seuth.
The truth Is that the .Seuth Is rapidly
WlfHvg dewu te ppace aud entering
iiru-i a sv firmer of prosperity. The
JiCwU.' i Exposition, which bids fair
te rlvil our Centennial, will be the ex
' penent et a condition of things net
dreiml of lit Northern appreciation.
A change of administration will promote
rather than hinder this fair, and the
editions of social, agricultural and
neeaanlcal development which It is
te represent. They are of vast moment
te us of the North, nnd the spirit which
would mar or hinder them In a !' of
partisan disappointment Is unpatiletiu
and cowardly.
m
Hew It Is t'eiiuteil,
Seme geed peeple are laberng under
the delusion that the vote of New Yerk
has net beeu counted. It has been.
There are fewer election precincts. in
New Yerk than in Pennsylvunl i, aud In
eveiy one of them ou election night,
the votes were counted, the result ascer
tained, the ballets burned and the state
ments of the result were made in each
district by the inspectors, one of which
was required te be Qled within twenty
four hours with each of three designated
officials. The figures thus m.ide out were
secured by the county clerks, by the
Associated Press, by the l)jmecr,itlc
state committee, by the Republican
committee and by halt a ri-wn news
papers. These figures us received, talvi
lated and added by every oue of the
authorities wjree, in cvm insUwrc, thit
Cleveland has a plurality in Sew rrA-
state, w'uch. elects iuru president.
The Republicans claim te hope that
some reexamination of the returns will
destroy this result ; there is no likelihood
of this. Hut the mere desperate of them
propose te go further than this. They
have employed counsel te prevail wit':
the beards of canvassers te go behind tlu
face et the returns sent in from the
districts. It has been declarl by the
courts, the t w Yerk Ji.jim iu
fermi ur. ' ii ihf d it v .
count) ca iNdssersis "pure'j ,' '-i .n.. '
and " cannot bs extended 1 5 ' t Uv
yond a mere con:;' of vh-tt .n-i'tm- en
their face te he the original returns, and
which are apparently regular." "Noth
ing is committed te the judgment or
discretion of the beard. Their duty is
arithmetical merely. They are te east
up the votes appealing upon the returns
of the district inspectors which are pro
duced before them." Again, they "are
net authorized te institute any inquiry
as te authenticity of tlte returns, but
are te take ttiess produced before them,
if they ar' ngularen their face, and if
they are net regular ou their face they
must return them te the Inspectors for
correction.'
It can easily be seen from this what
hope there Is of a change in the ascer
tained result. Te all the forms of Ian
the Democrats cheerfully accede : they
make no mutter against exact compli
ance with them ; but they me.in te be
clearly understood as net assent idr te
have the New Yerk canvas-er-t play the
put of Southern returning beards, and
by transgressing their powers give vital
ity te a fraud. They will permit the
exercise et lawful powers, but net the
abuse of them. Tliat would be reveln
tien under cover of law, but none the
less it would be revolutionary, and it
would be fitly met with prompt popular
resistance te the last extremity

LECTURE ON I'lttMUtY KKUUMt.
Supt. Buehrle delivered a lectured en
primary reading, which he said was the
key te all ether sohenl lessens. He
divided his discourse mte several parts :
r itsl, its oujeet, which is te recegniza
words aud sentences and te express lhat
which is thus recognized. Tue means of
acquiriug the object, nre attention, sight,
bearing aud the use of tbe 0e.1l organs.
These several peiuts were all eUberattd
by the speaker, who next parsed te
the material necessary for the work.
which nre the blackboard, slate, eb.uts,
crayons, pencils, vVe. Ue took it for
grauted that all teachers were uxiug the
word or sentence sjsU-m, rather than
the letter sy.s'ein. First a picture
of some familiar obJ-et should bs drawn
ou tbe blick-be-trd, and the written or
printed word descnbiug it should be
placed beneath it. Alter the pup 1 h is b.w
oemo somewhat familiar with the slate and
blackboard lessens, the prim try readers
come into use. Pupils should be taught
word by word and 0 ause by olause, oare
being taken te secure ejriect protiuncii pretiuncii protiuncii
tieu, accuraev auJ lltieney. Iu.livtdual
reading should be tirst uskJ aud the
poorest pupils should be the fiist tube
given the lessen. Ii dividual leading may
be followed by correct reading. Have the
pupils drilled in spelling the words in thu
reading lessens, but de net allow auy
pupil te retard the class by btuppiug te
spell diflijult weids ; if he cauuet spell
the word given let him sit down uud study
it, while the class is going ou with the
lessen.
Music "Hail te the Brightness."
LECTURE ON MEMORY.
rrei. snaue delivered a lecture en
"Memery." He said every teaeher
should be interested 111 the btuJy of the
operations of the miud. What he had te
say ou the subject was net original but
was gleaned from his readiugs Is the
whele brain interested in remembering one
thing or are there certaiu portions of the
brain that remember one thing and ether
portions that remember ethers? Dees the
Uraiu act as a whole or in parts .' We
knew that the brain is cempjsed of grey
and white matter, and that the grey
matter is that portion through which mind
is manifested ; and through this matter,
and extending te every portion or tha be ly
are innumerable tlun cords or nerves se
that every part of the body is projected
upon the brain. Thus yeu perceive sights
with one part of th.i brain, sjuad by an
other part, taste by (mother. Instead of
having a m mery we have many memories
There are certain portions el the biaiu lu
action in remembering some things that are
net in action iu remembering ether things
Prof. Shaub illustrated these views by
recounting the experiments made by emi
nent ph) Biologists iu Europe, in which by
removing certaiu portions of the bia.n of
dogs and ether animals, it was demonstra
ted that the remembrance of certain things
were lest ; that the less of memories by
sight resulted from the les of oue part el
the brain, aud the less of memories by
sound of another portieu and se en Prof.
Sbaub's time expired bofero he had fin
ished his lecture.

THE MODEL TEACHER
Deputy Superintendent Henry Houek,
congratulated the iuslitute en the enroll
ment of 030 teachers the largest number
ever enrolled in one day in Pennsylvania.
He then had something te say about the
model teacher. The first requisite was
scholarship. He knew there were eoiiie
persons who had n half dozen diplomas
and were nevertheless peer teachers 5 but
the rule is otherwise. The applications
for schools of low grade are always very
numerous, while teachers who li.ne ae-
3nired the higher branches are alwajs in
emand. Anether requisite iu the model
teacher Is enthusiasm It covers a multi
tude of sins aud makes up iu some degree
for a peer certificate, which is bound te b 3
better after awhile. The previsional cer
tificate of an enthusiast will be followed
by a professional, and then by a perman
ent certificate. Pity the peer teaeher who
thinks he "knows It all" and can't loam
anything at iustitute 1 Tact is the next
requisite. Without it no teacher will sue
ceed. Te these requisites must be added
common sense and character, and te invest
the requirements of a geed teacher he
would make character the base, aud upon
it place comraeu sense, enthusiasm aud
scholarship.

We sheut.1 teach grammar luduetively and
app'y it deductively. The sontence should
be 'jiuljzed te ascertain whit parts or
fractious of speech it contains. The
objections; te grammar, made by some
teachers is that the English Is a grammar
less tongue, nud that ue system of gram
mar can be applied te It. Prof, Lyte
gave soma illustrations te show that this
objection is unfounded. Anether objec
tion is that "n'raintuar does net teach us te

unch us ejrrect speech " He thought
thesa objectieus uulounded ; he was sure
the study had gteatly impteved his own
