RENSSELAER REPUBLICAN. T M. BITTERS, Editor. Friday Morning, March. 13.1880.

For market reports and railroad news the Indianapolis Journal is not exoelled. The Democratic party is again preparing its ft>ul stomach for another mess of crow. President Hayes rays he is as firm in his determination he was at the beginning of his administration not to be a candidate for re-election. Both branches of the \\ isconsin legislature have passed, the bill granting female suffrage. As soon ns the governor adds his signature Slie office seekers of that State can commence lifting their ha’.s to the ladies. ' Prosperity in this country and bad crops and dull times in Europe have given a tremendous impetus to immigration. Fortunately we have room enough for all that may come. If they are willing and able to work they need not fear either hunger or oppression among us. If they will let politics, Ind whisky alone and make their into the agricultural regions instead of settling in large cities, they will soon be landlords on their own account.

Many of the Pennsylvania delegates to the Republican National convention, who were instructed to vote for Grant, through the influence of Don Cameron, have declared that they will not be bound by the unit rule. The system of instructing delegates to. any convention is contrary to Republican principles and handicaps rather than facilitates the progress of the party. Republicans should take a stand against .it from the primary to the National convention. A decrease Of the national debt by *5 ,000,010 makes a good showing for the short month of February. Mismanaged finances under Republican government will not be a profitable Democratic argument tn the canvass this year. The fact is a telling one that all the money lost to the country under Republic can management by. reason of the dishonesty cf officials has been the appropriations for Democratic investigations. It is about time these were stopped by t!»e Democrats in 'their own interests, but if they want .to continue them the Republicans *can stand it, and will use all their reports as powerful campaign documents. Possibly there never was a time when so many men were under bail for election.frauds and offences of various kinds. From this it is argued that one of two things is certain, either that more offences of that kind have been committed recentlyor that the people have de- , termined to have political offenders punished. In the interest of good government and of honest politics it is to be hoped that the latter of these two propositions is true. At the same time, however, it would be rash to express the opinion that the particular individuals who have been arrested in Philadelphia will be tried and punished as the law directs and provides.

a recent issue of Harper’s Weekly the point is well taken that the management of the Pennsylvania and New Vprk conventions has not increased the chances for the election of any Republican candidate so far as the virtue and in- . telllgence of the party infer that tin tying up of delegates by those conventions is Intended as a gag on ■ free discussion and selection in the Chicago convention. We are not in the habit of going to the editor of Harper’s Weekly for the best political doctrine, because we do not think it is to be obtained there , as uniformily as might be, but we arc in accord with any Republican who strives by fair means to prevent the direction of the party from being monopolized by the creatures of a few men, in opposition to a policy that meets the wishes of the masses of Republicans. There is bo question at all but that the entire tendency of the Grant movement is to centralize the control of the party and destroy the principle of popular power; and without the practical exercise of that principle, without the voters of the Republican parly believing that in the votes they cast they are acting with a fair chance ot having their wishes carried out by the result of the election, wedo not think that any Republican candidate can succeed. There is. a .feeling that the Grant movement is pregnant with dangers to the Republican idea, which is nothing if it does not carry with it the maintenance of power directly in the bands-of the people and regulated by their will. This last is the manner and form of Republicanism championed by James G. Blaine of Maine in itsfull flower and integrity; and it is plain in view of these tacts, why. Blaine is carried on the erest of the wave of popular preference while Grant is dragged along to the Chicago convention by the machine, the wheels of which creak Ind groan with exceeding harshness.

The action of Parson De Lt Matyr and a few of the Democrats in Congress is enough to fill a wooden man with <tler>mueuc£nt. Jl certainly requires more cheek than is possessed by the traditions! army mule to enable a man of professed intelligence to rise in the halls of Congress and declaim against resumption and the present green back currency. The paper money which a few years ago was worth but 37 cen'.s on the dollar is now at par with gold, and it is well known and fully acknowledged by all, save knaves and idiots, that with resumption came fixity of values and its logical sequence, the rival of all trades and Industries. Visionists may theorist until doomsday but the people well kn>w that re* sumption was the electric spark which lighted the fires in the furnaces and sent upward those pillars of smoke that tell of employed artisans and happy homes. They may do lip-labor in behalf of inflation and the alleged superiority of rag money over coin, but the people realize that specie is the magic power that has started the rusting wheels in a thousand factories and added millions to the productive wealth of the country. These fellows who are trying to persuade the masses that resumption is a failure might accomplish more good by butting their heads against a stone wall.—Delphi Journal.

It is a belief generally current throughout the cast that the unemployed workingmen of San Francisco are a lot of communists who do not want to work, and who prefer to honest labor the excitement of sand lot meetings and the enter* tainment of inccndary speeches, under the that the world owes them a living and somehow or other the Chinese are in their way. This belief may not be fully established by any array of facts, but in an issue between employers and employed the weight of public sentiment and the value of public sympathy must always be bent to the side that keeps the peace until oppression has become so clearly bad as to justify revolution. The bloody threats, the incendiary language, the bad principles, the enmity towards society which have come from the sand lots of San Francisco in the reported speeches of such accepted and approved leaders as Dennis Kearney and I. N. Kalloch, are such as to lead to a condemnation of those leaders; and in the event of lawless violence being precipitated by the frequenters of the sand lots public sentiment is prepared to approve some very decisive action on the part of the citizens of San Francisco. Whatever may be the wrongs of the workingmen, their attachment to Kearney and Kalloch is doing them infinite damage. The speech of Kearney at the sand lots meeting on Friday night jast was a genuine surprise to bis admirers and to those who condemn him, both; its moderation in advising a discontinuance of the meetings was not expected. But the suggestion is easily come by on the slightest investigation that the advice was not the result of moderation at all, but of Kalloch’s shrewd conclusion that the agitation springing from the meetings and speeches was growing beyond his control, and he does not intend to have a collision between the authorities and the rabble with bis own for. tunes cast in with the mob. He too well knows the end of any such struggle.. And the chances are that he has stopped the meetings because those who attend them have served him as well as they can and he does not want to be troubled by their meetings; while his advice to them, prompf.’y accepted, gave him an opportunity to display both his influence and his pretense of advocating only peaceful measures as a leader of the workingmen’s party. Kalloch is now in a position to compromise with some more permanent element in politics than bis present associates form, and having climbed to the topmost round of the workingmen’s ladder he may shortly be expected to kick it from beneath him. We earnestly hope and believe that he will find his new congeners among the Democrats. The Republicans want none of.hiin.

Voorhees and Hendricks are practically upon the shelf. Bayard of 1861, and Bayard since, has a record which will not stand the test. Hancock and McClellan do not carrv the weight necessary for the contest at long range. Tilden, with his load huger thau the “old man efjhe sea,” is nearly an impossibility. Ohio, with Thurman and Groesbeck, will doubtless scramble to the front and demand recognition, but neither has the qualifications for leadership. The indications seem to be that the candidates for the Presidency on both tickets for 1880 will come from Illinois. After canvasing the field the Democracy will more than likely settle down upon their strongest man, David Davis. —lnter Ocean.

“YOU GET.”—“YOU BET.”

An Attempt at Robbery in Rensselaer. Bow he Didn’t set the Greenbacks and Dtnmonda he was After. *1 ▲ Crib-Cracker Cracked. Albert D. Richardson, in bis book entitled “Beyond the Mississippi,” tells of a California burglar, who at midnight climbed to a chamber window, and cautiously opened it. The occupant, chancing to beawake, crept softly to the window, and just as the robber’s face appeared, he presented the smooth muzzles of two revolvers, with the injunction, “You get!” “You bet,” replied the house-breaker dropping and running. An incident similar to this occured in Rensselaer early last Saturday morning, which we give as related to us by the gentleman who came near being relieved of his valuables. Prof. W. Bradford Williams, who gave two Dramatic Entertainments at Starr’s Hall, last week, put up at the Cotton Boarding House, on Cullen street. Being a gentleman of culture he was assigned the parlor bed-room, on the first floor, and possibly received other attentions and courtesies usually accorded well-clad professional individuals and men of means.

Having had considerable experience as a traveler and previous encounters with burglars and pickpockets, he usually keeps himself pretty well fortified against the approach of that class of rogues. Before retiring on this occasion be placed the lid of a shoe-blacking box and other articles suitable, over the lower sash of the window, so that iu the event it should be raised the clatter of their falling would arouse him from his slumbers. He said he bad in his possession only about 1425, but it is his diamond brest-pin and finger-ring, valued at abcut S9OO, that attracts the attention of thieves and coveteous individuals. These articles of value are always taken to bed with him while a Smith <fc Weston revolver quietly reposes under his pillow. On this occasion, however, his money was left in his pocket, and the pants thrown on a chair within reach of the bed. Between four and five o’clock in the morning the articles placed on the window came rattling to the floor, which awoke the professor, who feeling himself secure thought there was no need of becoming alarmed, and possibly the wind, which was blowing n pretty stiff gale, had caused the articles to fall. But presently the window began to creak and slowly arises, a very lit tie at a time. The wind caused the curtains to wave and flutter, when a hand was seen by the dim light of the turned-down lamp to pull them aside. A few moments after a boot, followed by a good sized leg, was shoved through the window, when the man of diamonds concluded it was time to discover by what authority this intruder sought enterance to his room, and

enquired calmly, “Who’s there? What do you want?” The noise created by the wind perhaps prevented the burglar from hearing this gentle salutation, and he con tinued to straddle the window sill, until a shot from W. Bradford’s revolver, aimed at the top of the window, caused the leg to be withdrawn at lightning speed, but as it passed out and the sash was sliding down, the burglar hissed between his teeth, “You son of a —!” This satisfied the man of diamonds that the man was there with burglarious intent and be fired again through the lower sash, this time intending to hit if possible, but the ball failed to collide with the burglar’s physical organism, and no damage was done save two holes in the window glass. The Professor thinks the man followed him from Monticello to this place, and expected to rob him when he should go to the morning train, but finding he did not arise in time, concluded he would accomplish the desired end by crawling through the window. . •' _ _ __________ The last ditch has been abandoned in the Chisolm massacree case against the Gully’s of Kepner county, Mississippi. And yet some people persist in believing that free and fair elections can be held in such a community. The blood of the Chisolm family and their defenders, who were butchered because of their Republicanism, will vex the State of Mississippi for years to come. Tbe“bloody shirt,” Chisolm’s shirt, and the shirt red with the blood of many slaughtered Republicans will yet wipe out Democracy.—lnd. Journal.

Edited byD.B.IO»MA O«>IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE k STATE dBUPEBIETEEBEWT. * following will be of interest to fßtny z to«eher« and trustees as toe question asked and answered has long been a mooted one. Cat « teMJter qftfr 0* wptratiot ofhia Question —If a teacher’s license expire after the commencement of his school, within the term Tn* which he was employed, how long 1 can he teach without procuring another license? Answer—l. Section 34 of the school law reads in part as follows: “Said superintendent shall license said applicant for the term of six, twelve, eighteen, or twenty-four months, according to the ratio of correctness and other evidences of qualification given upon said examination.” The law thus places a limit upon the time for which a person may be licensed. The reasons for this limitation are very obvious. The law makers saw that the standard of excellence required of teachers ought to be and naturally would be continually raised, and hence that a teacher well qualified at one period of the development of the schools might not be so at a subsequent period. They saw, also, that teachers, especially those able to obtain the lower grades of license only, needed the stimulus of a re-examination to induce them to take steps for their selt-improve-rnent. Thus the law of re-examina-tion is fully established, and for a very wise purpose. To permit young and comparatively inexperienced persons to teach in the public schools under a perpetual license would be fatal to the interests of education. 2. Sec. 28 of the school law reads in part as follows: “Trustees shall employ no person to teach in any of the common schools of the State, unless such person shall have a license to teach, issued from the proper State or county authority, and in full force at the date of employment; and any teacher who shall commence teaching any such school without a license, shall forfeit all claim to compensation out of the school revenue for tuition, for the time he or she teaches without such license.” So strictly is the law of re-examination to be regarded, that trustees are by these provisions prohibited from employing a teacher who does not hold at date of employment an unexpired license. The applicant may have received a half dozen licenses, each for two years, but if the one last granted, expires but one day even before that on which the trustee wishes to make the contract, the contract can not be legally made. The trustee may have employed the applicant to teach during a former term the particular school for which the contract is about to be made, and may know the applicant to be well qualified, yet he can not make a legal contract until a new license is obtained. The trustee can not

make a contract upon condition that the applicant will obtain a license before commencing the school. The teacher is bound by provisions no less stringent. He forfeits all right to compensation if he begins to leach without possession of a valid license. The purpose of these stringent provisions is very obvious. It is to keep unlicensed, and hence, in a legal sense, unqualified persons from teaching in the schools of the State. The fact that persons have at one period been qualified is no evidence whatever, in the eyes of the law, that they are qualified at a subsequent period, and no trustee and no teacher has a right to act upon any such preßumption. The law does not permit a county superintendent who has licensed a person twelve times for twelve successive years to act upon such a presumption and grant a thirteenth license without a thorough examination. 3. Sec. 28 further says: “And if a teacher’s license shall expire by his own limitation within a term of employment, such expiration shall not have the effect to stop the school, or stop the teacher’s pay.” This provision should certainly be construed so as to make it, as far as possible, harmonize with the spirit of the law as laid down in 1 2 of this answer. The purpose of it is not to afford the teacher any exemption from the operation of these general principles. There is no good reason why such an exemption should be made. The purpose of it is to provide a means whereby the school children may be protected from unnecessary interruption in their school work. It was the evident intention of the framers of this provision of the law, that when a teacher’s license expired within a term of service, the school should not, by such expiration, be interrupted, but that a reasonable time should be allowed to the teacher to obtain a new license, or to the trustee to obtain another teacher properly licensed. A strict examination of the language of the law quoted in thia paragraph shows that it gives the teacher no authority to teach until the end ot the term for which he was employed. 4, If it were held that a teacher holding * six months’ license which

meat of the term of service for which he was employed could, without obtaining another license, teach during the entire term ofduch employment, the general priifciples of the law of frequent examination might easily be violated. For example, the term of service Is chiefly within the diseretidn of the trustee. It may be for an entire year, possibly longer, and thus by a convenient selection of the time of procuring license and of making a Contract, a parson might be able to leaoh-near-ly eighteen months on a six month's license. Thus the purpose of the law in placing a limit on the time for which teachers may be licensed would be defeated. ' - In view of the foregoing propositions, it is held that it is the duty of a teacher whose license expires daring his term of service, to obtain a new one as soon as possible. It the examinations are held regularly each month, the period of exemption need not last longer than one month. It is also held that on failure of such teacher to obtain a license, after a reasonable time, it is the duty of the trustee to secure the services of another teacher, and one who is qualified by the possession of a suitable license, as soon as prac-

ticable.

Supt. Pub. Inst. P. S.—lnasmuch as thia opinion differs somewhat from a former ruling of this Department on the same subject, it is recommended that all teachers now in service who are affected by it, be given a reasonable time in which to make preparation for examination.

REMINGTON RAMBLES

BY W.

John Ford and Laura Timmons chartered a matrimonial boat last Sunday and together started down the river of life. May their vovage be a long and happy one. A polar wave struck here solid last Friday, patting a stop to all out-door mechanical work, especially the re-tinning of the roof of the Morgan Block. There are still one or two cases each, of diphtheria and scarlet fever, but of a mild type. James G. Knight, whose leg was badly fractured at the ware house, some weeks since, is getting along finely and will soon be about again, though it will probably be two or three months ere he will be able to resume his old nlace. Our postmaster, G. B. Clark, pulls the scales at 299 pounds. Were he enjoying good health this would be a theme for congratulation. But he is an invalid and as he suffers proportionately to his weight, it can readily be seen that he cannot enjoy himself to a great extent. The week opened out auspiciously and farmers begin to feel like getting into the fields to work. Our old friend and former fellow citizen, F. K. Donnelly, returned last Friday from Michigan City for a few days’ visit, the first since last October, when he took position as oneof the guards at the penitentiary. Prison life evidently agrees with him for he looks rugged and younger by someryears than when he left here. Mrs. Donnelly is so dissatisfied with Michigan City that she has come back to stay. A serious mishap befel the Editor of the Reporter, last Saturday morning, by which the usual artistic appearance of that sheet was sadly marred. Too bad. And he had only been “maried” two weeks. The beer garden, south of the depot, must be a fine location for amassing fortunes. About three proprietors annually' open out, lay by a competency and retire just in time to escape being sold out by the Sheriff. The latest man of nerve to try the experiment, is Thomas Harris who opened a Gov-; ernment saloon in the old ranch, last Saturday. If the first day is to be any criterion there will be plenty of work for the blue ribbon society. Brawls and wind work for fights were on the tapis all the afternoon. In one or two cases knives were drawn and might have been used to good advantage. There are a few men that while sober are goodnatured and pleasant companions, who seem possed of the worst kind of a devil when drunk.
