<be j. f. mean, Editor. THURSDAY, ; NOV. 25. 1875 We shall soon commence upon vol* time second of The Enterprise. The generous support it has received du* ring the first year of its existence from the business men of Syracuse and other neighboring towns, and from the large number of subscribers in Kosciusko county and elsewhere, is a sufficient guarantee that its permanence is fully established. We are almost •dally receiving letters from our sub-scribers-—democrats and republicans alike—commending course pursued by The Enterprise in the discussion of questions which properly come within the scope of journalistic notice, and we can heartily assure them that the same fearless course will be pursued in the future that has characterized the conduct of the paper in the past While, as a republican, we shall strive to have that party adopt such principles and pursue such a course as will conform to our views of what is right and just, yet we shall not be blinded by party prejudices to such an extent as to be made believe that the republican party can do no wrong, and. on the other hand, that the democratic party cannot do right We believe that it is the duty of a journal professing to be published in the interests of the maxtex nf the people, to pursue such a course as we have marked out. and asi we have no political friends whose interests weexpect to advance in the publication of our paper, and no political ieneenim to punish, we stand free to criticise and oppose such measures and arts of both i*olitical organizations as we deem to I>e eviiin thetr tendency, let them originate when* they may. j Our course in the past year Is sufficient, or should be. at least, tv convince all that w< -hall !•■•- I- Lmndt occupying the dt p d'b- p■■■•i■■'.l f:« quently assumed by politicians in the journalistic profess! >n. familiarly known as "on the f'-uct.

Whose coat tail did Murray let go of then ? and to whose is he now clinging? Perhaps the death of no public man, uuce that of Abraham Lincoln, caused such intense sorrow iu the minds of the people of the United States, as did the announcement of the death of Henry Wilson, vice president of the United States, which occurred at Washington on Monday morning, Nov. 22. Ills health has been very poor for some time and, a few weeks since his life was dispaired of, yet bis condition hail improved so much, that the country was surprised and shocked to bear that he had died very suddenly as stated above. He was born in Farmington, New Hampshire, February 18,1812, and was consequently nearly 84 years old at the time of his death. He was emphatically a self-made man. having in early life worked at shoemaking in his native towX His native talent, however, soon brought him into public life, and he has been one of the leading men of the republican party since its organization. He was elected vice president on the.ticket with president Grant in 18'2, and has been talked of as a probable candidate for tfte chief magistracy in the coming campaign. But death has (dosed his career and the nation mourns. He doubtless had enemies, as what public man has not That the verdict of the American people is that a good man has fallen.

iaxxb** xamtraoH inx. The Goshen Democrat of last week came to hand with a column article in reply to what we said a few weeks since In regard to the position we contended Hon. John H. Baker wpuld probably take, by his speeches and votes in the halls of congress, on the great question of finance, which, above all others, is the one most likely to seriously affect the interests of the people of this country through the industries of the country. At the time we made our comments upon what the Goshen Democrat and the Warsaw Union bad said in regard to Mn Baker's probable action on this question, we had not seen that gentleman's article in the Chicago Tribune on th€ subject, and the brief comments of the Union and the Democrat led us to infer that he was in favor of carrying out the provisions of the resumption act of last winter, and that the bill the Democrat said he had matured was framed with that end in view. Knowing that Murray is a bitter partisan, with no friendship for the worthy gentleman who will represent this district In congress, and believing that we knew where John 11. Baker stood on the financial question, we said: •We have the best of reasons for believing that John H. Baker will never present a bill before congress looking to a contraction of the currency and a further depression of liusiness, and until the country is sufficiently recovered from the effects of the panic, we do not believe, upon the evidence we have, that he will be found voting for any measure that will add additional burdens and privations upon the. people." After a careful perusal of the lengthy article of the Democrat, 'He can find nothingintbequotations from Baker’s article in the Chicago Tribune calculated to shake onr faith in his desire to shape bis legislative acts! in acciwj dance with the wishes of a great majority of the people against a contrac- ! tlori of the currency which will add; to the depression of business which! is now retarding the prosperity of sthe country, and against any measure likei ly to produce a, paralysis of business, or to lead to financial embarrassments. ' While we knew that lion John IL Baker was in favor of a sound and i stable currency—one convertible into Coin or Its equivalent at the earliest i practicable period—we knew, and we challenge the Democrat to show that w e were in error, that he would oppose a resumption of specie payment by means which look to a general shrinkage of values, and depression of business. If Mr. B vkeh's financial record should l»e. as we believe it will, in accord with .what we have contendetl iu tin* aliove 5 w ill Bro. Murray drop i his partisan prejudices and give ft his i endorsement ? or has he committed i himself to an unlimited inflation of the paper currency of the country without any provision for its ultimate redemption ? The position of Bro. MukliAY on the financial question is a very enigmati'-.il Ai.e. and Oiw which should be explained before he criticises the financial doctrines of others. The Warsaw Union devotes a half column to the comments of The Enterprise: ujiori its remarks in reference to tire opinions of Hon. John II Baker on the financial question. We have but little fault to find with the Uni >n’s view s in regard to the legislation really needed upon this question, as its views, as far as they are expressed in the article under consideration, are similar to those we have time and again expressed in the columns of The Enterprise since this question has been under discussion. What we do object to is the general tone of the article in reference to the representative in congress from this district, which seems to be a studied attempt to belittle that gentleman in the minds of the people, and prejudice them against him before his abilities have been tested, or his motives made apparent What authority has the Union fur making the statement that "the main object of officials of the Baker color, is to fill their own pockets." What evidence has it that Mr. Baker would not dare to do right in regard to needed legislation, even should. a different course be marked out by “ republican leaders** Had Mr. Kelley Iwn successful in the congressional race, is it reasonable to suppose that the Union would be found expressing the opinion that the financial question was "too deep fur his meatal calibre?" Yet it is fair to presume that that gentleman's abilities are in no wise superior, as a legislalor. to those of Mr. Baker. The Union'e argument is that of the prosecutor who attempts to prejudice the minds of the people against the accused, and bears evidence, on its face, of being instigated by partisan motives. We very much fear that the Union would prefer suffering the ills we already bear from unwise legislation on the finangjal question, to gaining relief through the agency of •* republican officials of the Baker color.** John H. Baker may be in favor of a currency convertible into coin, but the Union certainly has do evidence that he would found be legislating in favor of a contraction of the currency and a further depression of business consequent upon the shrinkage of values that would result therefrom. to accomplish such a condition of the currency. This strict adherence to party and the abuse of public office rs, and accusations of political dishonesty in respect to themselves.are doing more to undermine our institutions of tree government than anything else, and in respect to this there are fearful responsibilities resting upon those conducting the partisan press of the countaT- _____ Judge Pettit has recently been holding court at Peru, and In B case before him decides that notes made payable in gold in case of suit there on to be collectable in gold at par. whatever it may then be worth.

Judge Carpenter, of Warsaw, furnished the state geologist with specimens, and an account of the habits of this fish, which is almost new to science; and the Judge's contribution led to the first accurate and minute description of the species.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN. COXDCmtD BY FBOF. W. U MATTHBWS. COCXTT SCHOOL RVrHKIXTKXDBXT, AMD FBOF. F. MCALFIMB, FMNCIFAL SYBACUSB SCHOOLS. READING. Teaching reading successfully aoefc not depend upon the time that is spent on the exercises, and the number of lessons. •It is doing a little well, and in the proper order, that tells most on the progress of pupils in becoming good readers." A number of teachers think that if their scholars read two or three verses during a recitation that they must necessarily read it well, from the small amount which is given for such recitation. Such is not always the case. Students may read a short selection as incorrectly as a more lengthy one. A student does not become a good reader simply from the fact of the number of selections that be may read. We think that there are a number of selections that are found in our textbooks, as well as in our newspapers, that are not worth the white paper on which they are printed. We think that the teacher should make the selections for his classes, andthen, by example, teach them how they should be read. We are certain that if a child is not taught the expression, the thought, and the meaning ot the selections, that he will never become a pleasant and entertaining reader. We are in favor of short lessons. They should be well prepared by the teacher as well as the scholar*. The attention of each scholar in the class should be demanded, not only in reading, but during all the recitations. That which is true of the scholars is also true of the teacher. The recitation should have the undivided attention of the teacher. Nothing else should be allowed to divide the attention of the instructor. All the subjects connected with reading will be discussed in future articles. GEOGRAPHY. This subject may be made both interesting and beneficial. Ji n order to make it more interesting, as well as beneficial, the teacher should understand what he desires to accomplish in a certain time. The teacher of geography, and in fact all other branches of education, should have a cert ain amount of work to do in a certain time. Monteith's primary geography can be completed in three years, and the comprehensive can be completed in afcout two years. There arc a number of things which the books contain that may be omitted, and in this matter the teacher should be able to discriminate. We believe that the questions and answers alone, as found in many of our text books, will not accojnplish all that is desirable in the study of geography. Just how to teach the subject to the more advanced classes, is what young and inexperienced teachers desire to know. We will try and tell them how. The map of the world should be carefully taught first This should preface the work in the study of geography. Each natural division of land and water should be thoroughly studied and drawn upofi the board. Then the jiosition, boundaries, length, breadth, elevation, area, physical features, soil, climate, vegetables, animals, minerals, people, government, etc., should be given. The form of the earth, proofs of form, latitude and longitude. The motions of the earth must also la* studied. All the above items as applied to the grand divisions of land and water should be learned, for they form the bams of the science of geography . The pupil then has a general understanding of the importance of the study of geography. After the map of the world has l>een studied, then each political or subdivision may be studied in the same way. The class exercises may be changed so that any one method may not become monotonous. The outlines of the lessons should be written upon the board and each scholar recite from such outlines. Any omission that is made may lie corrected by any member of the class or the teacher. The maps should be used when necessary ami then put away with care. They should not be allowed to hang upon the wall from day to day, as is the case in many places. The teacher may ask questions and also give any additional information that may be necessary. “ To educate means to bring up the child mentally and physically, or to lead out the powers of the child." A skillful teacher draws out the child’s faculties so that the man relies entirely upon self. An unskillful teacher stuffs the mind of the child as you would fill a sack, and then ties it up to a book. When the man starts out in life, he finds that much which he has learned is not practical. Like the stuffed sack, his mind has to be untied before you can get anything out Weshould question more and tell less. Our questions ought to be practical, and so skillfully put as to draw out all the child knows before we tell him all we know. Always find something good in the child’s answer and give him credit for it, and you will be surprised to see liow rapidly his strength and self-reliance will improve. The first effort of the parent is to teach the child to stand alone and talk, and how skillfully are their efforts adapted to its condition. The effort of the teacher ought to be to teach the child to staad alone, mentally, and talk, and the efforts ought to be skillfully adaDted to its needs. Let us then come up to the standard; make teaching a profession, based upon mental science, the laws of health, and the demands of business life. Me. It has been known in official circles that our relations with Spain have been somewhat complicated in consequence of a violation, as was claimed by the United States government, of a violation of the provisions of the treaty of 11#5, on the part of the Spanish government, in refusing American prisoners on trial before court martial in Cuba, tiff privilege of selecting counsel to conduct their defense. Unusual activity has been observed in the United States naval department for some time, and it was apprehended that these difficulties might lead to war with Spain, and that the United States were preparing for such a contingency. Subsequently Spain concedes to toe demands of the United States in the matter respecting the treaty of 1796, and it is observed that the activity displayed by the naval department in fitting out vessels of war is in no wise abated, and rumor now has it that the forthcoming message of president Grant will accord to the insurgents in Cuba* belligerent rights, and that war is anticipated from such action on the part ; of the United States. There ean be no ; doubt as to the ultimate results of a war with Offldii, yet it would be nd child’s play and would lead to much bloodshed and Loss of life oa both aMhe.

The following sensible remarks from the Logansport Star of last week are applicable to other localities than I Logansport,and we trust that every-' lady reader of The Enterprise will give it" a careful perusal and profit thVrtftbta. Our advice ikt Be a lady; guard well your conduct that the breath of suspicion may neVer Attach to Votar fair name, as—- “ The brightest Jewel mortal times afford Is spotless reputation.” The Star says: There are in this city a great number ot girls who wish to be looked upon as respectable young •ladies, but it occurs to the Star that some of them have a curious Idea of how to conduct themselves in order to lay claim to that title. Young ladles are easily known by their deportment, and in this. as well as-'all other cases, actions speak louder than words. To be a lady does hot consist in wearing the latest style of dress, or being proficient in the art of flirting with young men. or being well up in the particulars of the latest scandal. It consists of a modest, unassuming disposition, which does not seek but commands admiration ; compelling those who would be too familiar to remain at a respectful distance; not loud and boisterous, but going quietly through the world, charming the atmosphere by the influence of love, charity and mercy, the mission which Gori has placed them here to perform. If young girts wish to keep their names from being bandied about in places of vile resort, or if they hear of their names being connected in whisperings of suspicion. let them consider how they conduct themselves In public. The tongue of slander is foul, but be careful that you do not give some cause for it by your conduct. Young men are quick to Jump at conclusions in this respect, and if you would prevent a cloud from, hovering over your fair name, conduct yourself ' according to the promptings of a pure heart. The exposure of the whiskey frauds in St Louis is likely to result in several duels between prominent journalists of that city. Hyde, of the liepublican calls Hutchins, of the Times, a perjurer, a black mailer, and a scoundrel. While J. B. McCullagh, calls Wm. M. Grosvenor a coward, a rascal, and a liar. Nice men, those St. Louis quilldrivers. / • A mass meeting will be held at Indianapolis on Dec.

The call is signed by three thousand voters of that city. Senator 0. S. Ferry, of Conn,died at his home in Norwalk, on Monday afternoon, of a stroke of paralysis.
