FBIDAY, April 15,1881. Logan has calmed down. Our legislature is playing the wild, “Codk or no code” Mahone caught it severely. This second Adventists arc creating a stir again. Riddlebeugek, is pretty well riddled sure enough. Republicans ought to have great searchings of heart. The revolutionary spirit is gaining throughout Europe. Mahone is growing smaller by degrees and beautifully less. The Missouri Legislature has passed a law making gambling a felony. Thank the Democratic party for the excellent condition of county affairs. The sooner the Democratic party takes a square, postive stand against the national banking system the better. The St, Louis gamblers, in order to circumvent the law, propose to rig up a boat and carry on business on the water. Mark it down in your book that under a Democratic administration Pike county orders are next thing to legal tender. We iucline to the opinion that once started, the president will demand the official head of every Conkllng man within his reach. Tga idea of torturing prisoners into auonfession of,crime by the aid of galvanic batteries is too inhuman to be tolerated by civilized peoplo. If the world comes to an end 4n September as predicted by the second Adventists, the Republican party will be caught with a wretched account. ■ - . • ' ’•* .* •—' We can not permit Bro. Krebs to^ relapse into silence on the investigation, question, without reminding him once more that he has beaten a most inglorious retreat The Republican papers are counting on Virginia going for them next time. If they, derive any pleasure from the construction of air-castles, they might also figure Georgia and Texas into line.

Senator Conkling is likely to find fighting Mr. Blaine a different exercise from jumping up and down on Mr. Bayes or throwing bricks at Mr. George Williams Curtis in » con* yention composed of ConkUng “heel-ers.”-[N. Y. World. . After the Senate had adopted the resolution submitting the prohibitory amendment to a vote of the people by a vote of 26 to 20, Mr. Shaffer moved, a reconsideration of the vote by which the joint resolution passed, and to lay the motion on the table,, which was agreed to. It. looks very much like there was an understanding to get on both sides of the fence on the temperance question in order to avoid responsibility. One valuable point has been gained for the Democratic party during the general battle in the Senate. It has been clearly a shown that our representative men do not countenance re,1 pudiation. in any forts, the assertions of Republicans to the contrary notwithstanding. Every stalwart who ’ has sought to place the foul' stain upon the skirts of the party has received abound drubbing for his pains. The national honor must be preserved spotless by any party having it in charge or defeat and disaster is Bnire i to follow. The president is dealing bountifully with the faithful, the patient, the hopeful, in this Stale. Judge Advocate General McKee was roughly pushed aside to provide a place for Major Swaim, Garfield’s private secretary. Judge A. O. Marsh/ Of Greencastle, applied for a judgeship in a territory and was rejected. Gen. Lew Wallace was relieved of the Governorship of New Mexico to provide a place for the president’s personal friend, Col. Sheldon. Ma jor Gordon courted a position in iihe Court of Claims and was turned away V empty-handed. , Hearts about this • burg" are flopping and floundering with the outlook, for well thev know their chances are slim. The New York Sun in a very logical editorial urges the writers and speakers in this coontry to confine themselves strictly to the nseoftbe English language. In criticizing an editorial In the Boston Advertiser on the propriety, and in fact necessity, of becoming familiar with the models of the Latin and Greek classics, the Son •ays: Ths English is a better language than either Latin or Greek, better at all areata for ithese "Stales and this country; and there are joet aa tool thinking and speaking and writing In EnRlWk aa there ever were In any old language. We doubt the better education a man has the ■ere accurately he will think and the more •dearly and forcibly he will expreee himself; yet many writers of good English hare no familiarity, la the original tongue, with the » pArieas models of the Boston editor; and many mrn< Who shine in their books as writers ol true and idiomatic EagUsh would hare'spoiled their *T*'» and their wits if they had followed any •aMwrt model or any classical method.

A prominent Republican' of this county, went into the Treasurer’* office laat, Fridayqnd inquired* what pep ceaf. of hie faxes would bo re* ceived in county orders. Treasurer Chappell made answer that orders to rae foil amount would bo afccepted. This pleased the gentleman who left the office with the remark that “the offer was better than he had expected.’ He canvassed the town in search of orders and findiug none in possession of any who desired to part With them, again put in an appearance at the Treasure’s offioo without having obtained a single one. As he forked over the amount of his taxes, the following expression escaped him: “Pike county’s credit is better than mine.” Thus one„by one the readers of the Petersburg Press unlearn the false’ lesson taught them by that paper, that under Democratic management county affaire are going to the bad. it must awaken some reflect ion and invite a comparison of the present souud, happy condition of the county credit undlr Democratic administration, with the unhealthy, unhappy, unsatisfactory condition of the same interests under Republican rule.

The dead-look id the Senate has served to enlighten the public on the great latitude our wise men can secure for themselves under tfie rules: Judging from each dajs proceedings, it would seem that anything which has happened since the world swung into space, as well as that which may possibly occur before it is swept into nothingness again, may be (whether profitable or not) discussed in the United States Senate- The amount of physical force expended to avoid doing anything would, were it not for the heavy cost to the people who have those pipers to pay, put Jun-lov-ing iudividuals in clover up to their uecks. For instance: On one side of the House a venerable looking old partisan veteran perpendicularizes his anatomical greatness, adjusts his gold rimmed eye-glasses, clears his throat, and belches forth a brilliant oration on the merits of his party, lauding it to the skies, and' inferentially proclaiming his own fitness for a home at la^st, iu the seventh heaven. From the opposite side of the House a voice is lifted in reply, that sifts the beauties out of the oration and leaves it a fair wreck on the waste of politics. No. 3 risos to acquaint the country with the startling intelligence that at some time since the commencement of the Christian era, or within the four thousand years preceding it, that a certain political party siuned against its day and generation by the enactment' of unwholesome laws, or the promulgation of pernicious doctrines. No. 4 bounces up to explain No. 3 all away, and after testing bis lingual pinions by soaring 'around for a briqf apace of time, winds up by pleading a general denial to the Whole thing. No. 5 sees an opportunity to' avenge some petty spite and heaps burning accusations on some piece of squirming humanity on the other side, which brings No. 6 to his feet like an electric Bhook, With a well guarded challenge to fight a duel on or after the final day of judgment, No, 7 is unable to see how the Republic can survive if his henchmen are not appointed to official places, while No. 8 is unable to understand how the country could escape if such appointments were made. And so on through an endless list of senseless controversies, the public ear is filled with the buzz' of angry voices mingling in a, profitless war of words. The United States Senate must be a very dignified body.

It may not be amiss to note the probable cousequeocee of the discord in the Republican ranks, growing out of the distribution of official spoils at the hands of the Executive. That a chasm is opening between the le&ding spirits in the parly is too apparent to require argument. And that the probing of the old wounds and inflicting new ones will breed grave if not insurmountable difficulties for the party iu the future is equally cer tain. Conkling is permanently arrayed against the present administration unless concessions are made which would not only humiliate the president, but, insure the complete ! overthrow of the party in 1884. It is a well known fact that with the assistance of the Federal officers and a world of money, together with the united support of the different sections and wings of the party it only succeeded by the skin of its teeth. Reconciliation was made between the stalwarts and conservatives, the Conkling and anti-Conkling men, the Blaine men, the Grant men, the Gherman men, the advocates of elvil service reform, the “machine” and those opposed to the “machine,” and Gen. Grant himself gave the candidates cordial and thorough support. Every sorehead or stilker was induced to wheel into line and pat their shoulders to the wheel and do servico for the parfyr They aehieved victory by ignoring differences and acting in unison. New York, with her thirtyfive votes, decided the contest, and Conkling, aided by the treachery of John Kelly, carried the State fur Garfield. If Conkling and Kelly had lain still there is'not a shadow of doubt that the Empire State would have gone Democratic and Hancock would have been president to-day. Thus it is apparent that bad feelings between Garfield and Conkling is fraught with the gravest dangers to the Republican party. It came within an ace of splitting up into independent factions prior to the opening of the hut canvass and it was with the greatest labor and pains that the generals in command harmonised the conflicting elements in the party. The president is much displeased at the vigorous opposition Conkling iit making, and has expressed'a determination to stand firmly by the nominations he has made regardless of results. Should be do to, the civil chieftain of the radical oimp will no| surrender until he has expended all his force in au effort to balk the Administration. According to our way of seeing things they are paving the way nicely for a Democratic victory four yearn hence.

Mockt, Petersburg, Indiana.! ~ ; lu those townships where the schools are short the teachers will nol be ao good as in the townships where the school net lit is long. That Is, it the term remains long in one town* ship and short in anotheri the township with the.short term will lose its best teachers. When - a teacher is compelled to leave hie home to teach, be will, as a rnle, go where the schools are long and where he cau be employed the greater number of months i n the year. Then it becomes the tax-payers of those townships having too short a school term to urge their trustees to assess an additional tax. Borne townships have assessed rather a high tax for this purpose, though noue can go higher thau. Wtfeuty-fivo cents. Others have assessed no tax at all, and have suffered for it. Jeffersoh township never did ftimh a Ur ntir) ihp fiolmnl tarm

in that township tor 1880-81 was only eighty-five days long. It will be better another year, for the trustee of that township has taken the responsibility of assessing a tax. This is a step in the right direction. D. Tingloy’s Now-Mathematics has not yet revolntlonined the mathematical world by any means. One of his students in philosophy tells ns that the “New Mathematics is taking a rest." We do not think ho ever wearied the subject much, lie claims that if the first, second, and third powers of quantities have geometrical equivalents, the higher powers ought and do have. Thus he ignores the idea that the first, second, and third powers of quantities have geometrical equivalents by mere coincidence. Yet there are some things which he advocates that are interesting, new, and true. He thinks that be cau improve upon some of Newton’s definitions, lie believes that the reason why the tail of a comet always swings Around from the sun while the head of the comet is attracted more powerfully by the sun, is because there is an expulsion as well as an attraction on the part of the sun. There may be something in this, but it were better (to study the matter Carefully before flaking up with the theory. ' The report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction contains in the following that which is of prime importance : “Inasmuch as moral worth is of quite as much value as scholarship, the !!aw should require all persons applying for 1 icense to teach in the public schools not only to be examined in respect to scholarship, but to present to the examining authority satisfactory evidence that they possess such qualities of mind and heart as would lead them to cultivate in their pnpils those high and moral qualities so essential to successful living." We art: decidedly in flavor of omitting Physiology from the branches tanght in the common schools and subsIltntingNatursl Philosophy in its stead. If nothing ils substituted for it let it be Ohiitted-anyhow- The way it is taught in the books and by the teachers it is of little practical use to any one. Bat this is like talking to the wi nd, since .the teachers of no one county, dr even of the; State, have much to say as to what branches shall he taught. < Macaulay’s England can be pnr* chased in clobs for less than four dob lars. Those teaebers who find any leisure for .reading history should stndy England.v One can learn many a lesson and much of the philosophy of history’s exaoiple by studying the progress of snch a nation aa England. Besides, the study of foreign nations will destroy prejudice, and teach that there is something good elsewhere than at home*

There are a number of persons in (his State who favor the examination of county superintendents. There are others who oppose it. The examination of superintendent would test bis scholarship—not his qualification for the office, because executive ability is of as much importance as scholarship, and snob ability can not be tested by any sort of examination. Honors to T. C. Nelson.. He sent the first communication to this column, Here it is: “The age of A is five thirds of the age of B; and the sum of their ages plus half the age of B equals twice iho age of A minus two years: what is the age of each ?” The one that sends the best solution will have his solution published. The term D,\ff'erence, used in Milne’s Ari thmetic, is a new one* at least in the sense in which it is used. It can not be found in the Mathematical Dictionary. No dictionary will define it by limiting it to the subject of Percentage. However, Milne employs the term with great convenience. NOTESi AND QUERIES. Who was Olid Cole? How far can one get from home? Why is an [ndianian called a Hoosier? Which is the Centennial State, and why? Is there any rule for abbreviating words. Wrhat is meant by “John Brill obstinacy”? Why is the first day of April “All Foci's Day”? Whftt is mean! by the “Arian branch of the Caucasian race’*? In the date given in this issue for the invention of the cotton-gin the correct one? I* it true that any warrior ever conquered the whole world known to him in the time in which he lived? Why are the terms “Semitic,” “Romanic,” “Germanic,” etc., applied to certain branches of the Caucasian race? Samnel L. Clemmons savs that a person who csn Successfully teach school for seven years ought to be made brigadier general. Appleton's Sixth Reader contains a greater number of selections from Longfellow than from any other writer. He enjoys the slight praise of being; quoted more than any other American poet. - There are ninety-eight schools in this county, employing one hundred and one teachers. There are bnt two gredod schools: Oni at Petersburg, employing four teachers, and one at Stendal, employing two teachers. Pike connity will be well represented this spring and summer at Danville, Terre Hante and Ann Arbor. There wlil>oon be an improvement in the scholarship of the teachers' in this county, if thoee attending the good schools referred-to are dliltgent.
