The superintendent is decidedly of the opinion that "uniformity tend to despotism, corruption and intellectual death." He admits that the State should exercise some sort of censorship in respect to the books taught in schools but he holds that the nearer this control is brought to the people of the several districts, the better will be Its results. He gives a vivid picturo of the evils flowing from a system under which tho people should have but one book on each rubject and all should be compelled to use this same book; nor allowed to choose even that hnebook, but it must be chosen for them at the capital and that not by teachers, but by the civil rulersP "Under this system of rigid bw snd detailed prescription, true education ceas A CASK XX POINT. The New York Evening Post says There was a strike of newsboys in the office of the Leader, the dully organ of the Knights of Labor in New York, last Tuesday. It was caused by proceeding which the Knights are accustomed to denounce as "monopolistic" when they are followed by other people. It seems that since the Leader was founded it has been customary to sell it to newsboys at 83 and 40 cents a hundred.

On Tuesday the publishers put up the price to 50 cents. In addition to this change they "bounced" without warning the Knight who had been in charge of that branch of the bujineas on a salary of $13 a week, and put in his place another Knight, who wa willing to do the work for $11 a week. When the newsbovs heard of the advance in price they organized a labor union, declared a strike, and sent a delegation to wait on the publishers. This was all regular and in knightly order. But the publishers, instead of yielding at once, as they believe all employers ought to under such circumstances, ejected the THIS SENATORIAL ELECTIONS, The Republicans of Connecticut have re-eleoted Senator IIawlky.

In Maine little Hale has been again chosen. He is principally noted for being the son-in-law of a very rich man, the late Zach Chandler, of Michigan, who died almost immediately after making one of the most atrocious and cruel speeches against his Southercn countrymen, that had ever fallen from even his venomous lips. Hale has some brains, but his money is doing more tor him than anything that his Creator endowed him with. New York Republicans deserve especial commendation for having bid defiance to.

the purse ioud Warner Miller, of wood pulp infamy and to L. Mortons well displayed pocket book. Neither of them would have ever been heard of outside their immediate locality, but for their knack of money getting, Mr. Hiscock, who has been chosen to succeed Miller, is a pestiferous partisan, but he has brain merit, and It is something on which to congratulate the country, when a Republican legislature chooses it over money. In Pennsylvania nobody expects anything else than for (he legislature to ratify the orders of the Cameron family.

It is pleased old Simon and his son Don to that the boss corraptlonist and manipulator of the state M. ft Quay occupy a seat in the senate and it has accordingly been done: That is abont all the significance that can be attached to his election. Farwbll, of Illinois, succeeds Loetar and it is generally admitted that his capacity for drawing checks is much greater than his capacity forshining as a statesatan.

The retirement of Wood Pulp Miller, of New York, from the United States senate, will be greeted with satisfaction by every citizen who thinks a United States senator should have some brains in addition to a large bank account.

The debate in the United States Senate on Monday somewhat stirred np the blood of the people, because of the war like utterances of some of the Senators. The matters involved) are not generally understood because so small a number of citizens are personally interested. But what affects one citizen affects ilL The Baltimore 9un of a recent date contained the following excellent article on this sabject: Tuere are some things we ooifht to remember before we commit ourselrev to tbe policy ot retaliation by Che resolutions pending in tbe senate and bourn.

This treaty 1871 restored the KCipincity treaty in a great measure, but the construction placed' upon all these treaty provisions by Ureat Britain and this-country are so much at variance that' in relation to this nureUou we have been drifting further and furtber apart, until now our relations are seriously threatened, Eat it is scarcely to be sup posed that a question which. has so often x-ciU-diuufrlendly comment and feeling before wilt be disposed of in any other- way than by a convention to adjust the disputed points ot difference, a has heretofore been done.
