DAILY NEWS
SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1881.
THE sad news by cable has reacltl this continent that the well known actor, E. A. Sotberi). is dead. There never liyed but one true Lord Dundreary.
IT is Jrumored that when ex 8eaator Bruce steps into "Uncle Dick's" old shoes as Secretary of the Navv, he will teach the young "tars," of tfie Navy what aristocratic manncraifl, and though he is black, ho will make them smell what real authority is from an American standpoint.
THE Saturday Mght, in an editorial rather warms up the Express for its refusalto publish Eugene Debb's caredwithreference to the cooper strike. That's right young men, make the "fur"' fly while you are young, but when you've arrived at the age of maturity in experience like the NBWB you'll know better.
IT is said that a strong pressure will le brought to bear on the President-elect Oarrteld, to take ex-Senator Brucc Into his Cabinet, and it is suggested that, should such appointment bo made, that Mr. Bruco be given the Naval Portfolio, with instructions to keep out of the water, and to boon the lookout for abetter job, say a $25,000 whirl per year.
TnR Torre Haute postofHce is not likely to go begging. Ainoug the candidates are M. Dial, superintendent of the Tcrre 11 auto gas worKs, I. 0.
Greiner, shoe
dealers I|. L. Miller, livery man, J. O. Jones, ex postmaster, and Nicholas Filbeck, the present incumbont, whose second serm expires in May. Mr. Filbeck is said to be out of pocket $1,200 by the late canvass, having paid out that amount to help the cause when it was thought to be a hopeless one. The other candidates are not out a cent. Filbeck has made an efficient postmaster aad is very popular.— Tnd. Revise.
Au Alderman's Sorrow*
THERE is an Alderman in Detroit who knows a bale of hay when he sees it as well as any man living. He was passing up Michigan avenue the other day, when ho came across a small group of friends. They had perhaps been waiting for him, knowing that ha would pas© that way about that hour. They were standing near a bill© of hay marked "210 pounds,n and beside the bale stood a Hat-ehe«tod, slim-waited, con-jmmptive-lookimY youth Of twenty Summers, who kept*spitting on his hands and saying he would shoulder the batft or die in the attumpt.
Tvo bet ten dollars that he can't," remarked one of the group to the Alderman. as he come to a halt. "Whv, ho ninst be a fool!'* replied tho official, as ho looked irom the man to the hay. "I can t. eh?" queried the consumptive. "YondiwuH put np $10 that I can't shoulder this 'ere hay and earn* It across tbfc street and back."
Nothing biit chain-lightning could hare beat the ntoretuents Vhat Alderman in pulling out an X" and placing it in the hands of a stakeholder. When all

Common Schools*
Mr. Edito|*
Siace *pSftcU hifore tb&Har* ticuliu«pPBocyttr at we Normal buffdinf, the aewspapili uavcjtecmftl witaattacKi by corriespoudcnta bpon* our Cotambh School System. I am led to believe that these attacks have been made by persons ot foreign birth, who have settled among
Jkftfe but Jlttfo If any interest in
the perpetuation of our free institutions For certainly no man who has been reared under "this government would at tempt to tear dowu and destroy our Com mon Schools. They are the palladium of otv'ciVil and religious libeafty. Your correspondent almost questiops the loyal tv of any ons who isopposed to our Common Schools. For they are so interwoveu into the tisses of our State and National Governments as to become a part and par cel. of them. They stand as great forti fications against the encroachment of the aristocrats on our Republic.
The fact is entirely overlooked by the enemies of our common schools that in this country every man.in a certain sense, is a ruler and law maker. And in order to maintain our form of government we must have wise and wholesome laws.Such laws will never be produced by the ignorant and ualearued. If our public affairs are placed in the hands of men who are uneducated, the time is not far distant in he future when our government will top pie and fall. Mr. Buff does not oppose our school system in general terms, but
he simply wants to alter and change it so as to make it apply only to the poor. In other words, he is in favor of what may be called with great propriety, pauper schools. Ho proposes to tax the rich to establish and keep up schools exclusively for the poor. This plan is so much in conflict with the rules of right and jus tice that it is matter of great surprise that a man of Mr. Buff's legal attainments would advocate it. for one moment. About one hundred years ago our fathers revolted against the mother country because she attempted to tax them without giving them a representation in parliament. Air. Buff proposes to tax tlic-xich .to build school-houses and maintain schools which their children are forbidden by law to attend. This would bp worse and more tyrannical than the tea tax. The plan suggested by Mr. Buff, is in many respects like the system adopted by the different states for taking care of their poor. If a man gets so poor and weak as to be unable to take care of him sell, he is at once carted off to the poorhouse and supported at the public expense,
Mr. Buff proposes to educate the children of poor men with as little expense as possible. He talks long and, emphasizes with muchforce the enormous expense of our common schools, and opposes the changes of books upon purely economical
Jove
Crounds, He manifests a great deal of for the school-houses and schools that existed thirty or forty years ago, and seems to want to gently lay his hand on the common schools of to day and push them back at least a quarter of a century. Just why he desires to do this is even hard to conjecture. It may be that his asthetic nature has got control of his will,and he is governed entirely by the thought of the beautiful. And there is painted in vivid colors upon the walls of his imagination the picture of the pioneer school house of the west. Suppose that there is in some rural section of the country where all the parents are too poor to educate their children, a school to be established on the cheap, oldfashioned plan, adopted by our ancestors. The trustee at once proceeds to erect a house on the plan, and style of scho 1 houses of forty years a^o. He erects a log cabin twenty by thirty feet, he chops one end out of it, in order to make room for a flre place, builds his back wall "and jambs out of dirt, constructs his chimney of mud and sticks, prepares his writing desks by boring holes in the walls and placing pins in them, and then placing large boards on the pins.' He then goes to the woods, fells alive tree, chops it up into logs of the proper length, then splits them in two, shaves off the splinters, puts legs in each end and he has the seats that the children must occupy during school hours, without backs or any thing for them to lean against.
After the furniture is all put in and properly arranged, a teacher is to be employed, wUh all the qualifications that a teacher was required to have forty years ago. One presents himself with long hair, clolhed in brown jeans, nose a little red, but not enough, to destroy his good looks. He is at once examined and is found capable of teaching reading, writing, English grammer, and arithmetic as far as the double rule of three. He is at once employed at twenty dollars per month, ana is to board with the scholars. For economy the old books used forty years ago are adopted and are as follows Spelling book?, Webster's First ReadeKthe Life or 8inbai,tbe Sailor.Second Reader, Gulliver's Travels. Third Reader, Bunion's Pilgrims Progress,Fourth Reader,the Life of Robinson Crusoe, arithmetic for small children, Pike's First Part Arithmetic for advanced scholars, Pike's First Part Grammer for small children, Kirkam's First Series Grammer for advanced scholars, Kirkam's First Series for writing purposes. foolscap paper. With these booksunder his arms, with a role of fpols cap paper in one hand, and a half dozen quilli? just plucked from the wings of some old g-ander in the other, a scholar enters the school room, and introduces himself to the master. Another enter#, armed in the same way, and another, and
sojoh
antil there are fifty
reported ready for business. The teacher assigns them all the same lesson, but they are not to recite together, for that would be too mrich system. Each is called up and recites exactly the same lesson, and by noon one half have recited. Recess is taken for dinner. At the call of books after dinner, recitations are resumed and bjftlft o'clock l» the afternoon, all have recited their lesson in reading. At that time the goose quills are unfolded and 'pens made, and writing commences. The leather, at times, applies beach limbs to the backs of scholars for the purpose of preserving order. We have now, in perfeet operation.,the kind of school Mr, Buff so touch admires, and recommends for the poor. Could any one doubt lor a moment. that scholars who attend a school of this kind, would be prepared^ at the -ilihfce months,, for the active ditties

How the Russian Exile Lives.
T5*htt arrival the prisoner is driven straight tor tho police ward, where ho is iflipected by the Ispravnik, a police offloor who is absolute lord anl toaster of the district. This representative of the Government requires of him* to answer the following* Ilia name? How old? Married or single? Where from? Address of!parents, or relations, or friends? Answers to all which are entered in tho tiooks. A solemn written promise is thon exacted of him tiiat ho wiH not give lessons of any kind, or try to teach any one that *everr letter he writes will ro through the Isprnvnik'8 hands, and that ho will follow no occupation except sl^oemaking, carpentering, or lield-jabor. He is then told he is iree! but at thq same €»EbeJis solemnly warned that should he aHempt to pass the limits of the town shall be shot down like a dog ra.ther than be allowed to escape, and should he be taken alive shall be sent ofl' to
Eastern Siberia without further formality than that of the Ispravnik's personal order.
The poor fellow takes up his little bundle, and, fully realizing that he has now bidden farewell to the culture and material comfort oi his past Uf«i, be walks out into the cheerless street. A group of exiles, all pale and emaciated, are there to greet him, take him to some of their miserable lodgings, and feverishly demand news from home. The new-comer gaxes on them as one in a dream some are melancholy mad, others nervously irritable, and tho remainder have evidently tried to find solace in drink. They live in communities of twos and threte, have food, a scanty provision of clothes, monoy, and books in common, and consider it thfeir sacred duty to help each other in every emergency, without distinction of sex, rank, or age. THE uoble by birth get sixteen shillings a mouth from Government for their maintenance, and commoners only ten, although many of them ye married, and sent into exile with young families. Daily a gendarme visits their lodgings, inspects the premises hen ana how he pleases, and now and then makes some mysterious entry in his note-book. Should any of their number carry a warm dinner, a pair of newly-mended boots, or a change of linen to some passing exile lodged for the moment in the police ward, it is just as likely as not marked against him as a crime. It is a crime to come and see a friend off. or accompany him a little on the way. In fact, should the Ispramik feel out of sorts—the effect of cards or drink—he vents his bad temper on the exiles and as cards and drink are the favorite amusements in these dreary regions, crimes are marked down against the exiles in astonishing numbers, and a report of them sent regularly to the Governor of the Province.

THE SUN FOR 1881.
In the editions of this newspaper throughout the year to come everybody will find:
I. All the world's news, so presented that the reader will get the greatest amount of information with the least unprofitable expenditure of time and eyesight. TnE SUN long ago discovered' the golden mean between redundant fullness and unsatisfactory brevity.
II. Much of that sort of rifcws which depends less upon its recognized importance than upon its interest to mankind. From morning to morning Tnfi SUN prints a continued story of the lives of real men and women, and of their deeds, plans, loves, hates, and troubles, This story is more varied and more interesting than any romance that was ever devised.
III. Good writing in every column, and freshness, originality, accuracy, and decorum in the treatment of every subject.*
IV. Honest comment. THE SUN'S habit is to speak out fearlessly about men and things.
V. Equal candor in dealing with each political party, and equal readiness to commend what is praiseworthy or to rebuke what is bl am able in Democrat car Re-, publican.
VI. Absolute independence of partisan organizations, but unwavering loyalty to true Democratic principles. TIIE Strjf believes that the Government which the Constitution gives Us is ft good one to keep. lis notion of duty is to resist to it# utmost power the efforts of men in the Republican party to set up another form of government in place Or Oiat which exists.

The Terre Haute
aily N ews
Possesses many advantages as a daily
newspaper over all other competitors cir
culated in the City of Terre Haute.—THE
NEWS is a modem nttotpaper in the full
sense of Jthe term. It belongs to that
class of papers which is flourishing most
signally in the East and West, and filling
the especial want of the people of to-day
viz. a cheap, spicy paper which furnish
es all theJ news in the most reliable form
Many of our people cannot afford to |takc
the cpstly city papers, while others find
neither the time nor the inclination to
peruse theirlongthy-and indistinct columns
printed inljsrtiall type. THE NEWS pres
ents in compact shape the telegraphic and
general news, which is spread out inter
minably in the metropolitin journals.
Its edjtorial columns, while dealing large
ly with National and State politics are
especially devoted to city, township and
county affairs. And the miscellaneous
literary selections are culled with great
care, and with a conscientious regard for
the instruction and morals of the com
munity. The sound and healthful in
flucnce of a hearty laugh is recognized by
THENEW8 corps, and BO effort is spared
to lay before our patrons the latest and
choicest productions of the Twains and
Burdcttes of the land.
The city department of the NEWS is
well looked aftfe Each day it contains
a complete record of the events occuring
in our midst. Sensationalism in statement
and matter is studiously excluded, and our
patrons ar§ able to rely upon the sub
stantial accuracy of each and every item.
The NEWS is circulated more largely and
in more towns than any other daily paper
in western Indiana. The DAlLir NKW* is
