It they are wide-awake, bright-eyed childred,instiuc.u-d by a live, publicspirited teacher—-one who has the j welfare of his pnpliis and the ( leva . tion ot liis prolession atheart—they j will say yes. Bui doubtless tile reply to a selfish, narrowminded Pchoui-tee/jer would be no The answer you will gel depends largely upon your own zeal and industry.

Wadsworth, editor of tiie LaPorte Argus, is entitled to favorable consideration : LaPorte, Ind.. Feb. !), 1880. To Whom it May Concern: * * A|r. John A. Cutler is a gentleman of good business qualifications, good habits and in all respeels is regarded as a worthy citizen of this community He is trusted and respected by all classes and represents I one of our most populous 'wards in ! the City Council to die entire satis i faction of all concerned. Resp’y, H. E. Wadsworth. - . -w*— The Delphi Times says: “Aeexdmrxt No. 1” proposed to the Constitution is rather peculiar in its provisions. After reciting at length what shall be the qualifications of vomit says they “shall be entitled 1o vote in the township or precinct where lie, may reside, if he shall have been reaisLred according to laic.” Now, if the people of the State adopt this, amendment at the election in April the question is will it not disfranchise, every voter in tnc State until the Legislature meets and passes a registry law? The provision of the proposed amendment is clear, whatever may have been the intent of it It says distinctly that such person shall vote when he shall have been registered according to law, and it follows as a logical sequence that after the adoption of that amendment by the vot ers of the State, no man can vote unless he has been registered. Speaking of the registry law the Muneie Observer says: “It is one of no earthly good, and is a fruitful source of fiamb Of what use is the law, if tiie voter is required to live in the precinct before voting? What is to hinder a person, if he is disposed, from registering in three or four precincts, and when election day comes vote in each of them? The rich man and the man Of leisure has plenty of time to register; the poor laboring mau has not, and would thus be prevented from voting. Registration means fraud and honest men should AO e against it.” Ralph Fendig purchased a bank* ruptstock of goods at leas than cost and is selling them for a song. Try him.
