How Garfleld'ii rrograuime was Wrest etl from Its Original Wise aud Prudent Part Purpose. New York Commercial. An interesting story, which promises to be the first of a series of revela tions of the inside workings of the Garfield administration, appears in the ilerald. and its reading cannot fail bat produce a feeling of anything but ad' miration for those persons who set themselves up as the especial friends. supporters and spokesmen of that ad ministration. It clearly shows the in nuences which controlled it, and how weak and flexible General Garfield was in the bands of strong men. who never permitted him to forget that they were his heavy political creditors. It shows bow his adm nistration was doomed to destruction from the first and that these men exacted the heav, iesc aues, ana maae tne president a lasn wiin wnicu to pumsn .tneir en emies. The country will remember how during the long contest in the senate the .New York Tribune con stantly repeated the command to "stand by the administration," and held up to scorn and bitter contumly whoever refused. In the Herald's let ter there is a communication from Whitelaw Reid, which accounts for the Tribune's zeal. That journal kept the president up to the rack, in the meantime bulldozing republicans wherever it could to stand up for the administration. The Tribune and its riends, we see frem this letter, were running the administration. It was not Gari eld's administration ; it was theirs. The president was a mere figure-head ; they pulled the wires and commanded him, as they did thous ands of other republicans who surren dered their convictions at that time, Of course, the Tribune wanted every body to stand up for the administra tion, and was ready to open the vials of its wrath on whoever refused. If the president could be kept up to the mark and made reckless of the fate of the republican party, which then was splitting in two beneath his feet, this clique would have him well in hand till the end of his term. Mr. Reid writes: I wish to say to the president, iu my judgment this is the turning point of his whole administration the crisis of his fate. If he surrenders now C'oukling is president for N the rest of his term and Garfield a laughing stock. That was Mr. Keid's opinion, who 1 also khew that if the president could be persuaded to overlook the conse quences of that act, which was then threatening the perpetuity of the re publican party, he and his friends would be in supreme control, and the president would be putty in their hands. According to Reid's letter, it was Conkling or Reid & Co. Now the world knows Conkling did not provoke this fight. It was wantonly brought on by the clique that had General Gar field in band, for the simple purpose of bringing about the very complica tion that was reached that of antag onizing Mr. Conkling and putting him in the position where they could say what Keid did in the letter of March 27th. The whole plot is so plain that a blind wan almost can see it. But the Reid interest was net the only one that exercised its baleful influence over that unhappy president. Through others Stanley Mathews' name was sent in for the supreme court bench. This was a nomination the presi ent desired the sesate to reject; but he could not refuse the demands upon j him, and sent iu for the highest court in the land the name ef a man he mast have known was unfit to sit there. I What a story of weakness, infirmity, irresolution 1. But the truth is be was ; never free from the malign intlueuce j that attached itself to him as soon as t:i : eieuiiou was assureu, an innuence that is responsible or the long succes-1 sion of acts of duplicity and double dealing which began at Mentor and were continued until March 23d. 1880. ?ow did he resist? The story told to- dav confirms what the Commercial baa declared from Lbe first, that is, that , General GartieW was in the hands of a band of revngful politicians who were determined to make use of every possible a 4 vantage which their ascend ency over him perrritted. They had some vague belief that they could in sult and humiliate powerful mewbers f the party and yet not destroy them selves. , They were implicit believers in the power of the spoils, and with the government patronage behind then) they tbeught they could buy their way to secure power in the re public .n party. For a time it loeked as thoi igh this estimate of their fel low co untrymen was correct, as the struggle in Albany showed. Now they are defeated, but the JSew York Tribmne cannot reconcile itself to its posi tion. President Arthur has de spoiled that paper of the patronage it ex ptjeted to control, and in its malic ious attacks ion him cannot conceal the. rag it feels over the changed con- ui tiou of political affairs. In a brief paper suggested by the Centennial Celebration of Daniel Web ster's birth, W. C. Wilkinson in the February Century gives an impressive sketch of the "Great Expounder per sonality and nis services to his coun try, and regrets what he deems the in justice done to Webster a fame by a wrong appreciation of the motives of the speech which called forth Whit tled -Ictabod."

Wka- huge strides of ad vancement and progress. Ilew dif ferent the character of teacaing and the teacher? There was a time when pupils were watched and trapped into misdemeanors, and then punished with a severity only palliated by the ignorance of the teacher; when to smile was a crime and childhood the wickedest period of one's-life; when ferules and rods and fists were the instruments with which knowledge was driven into the pupils and the schoolroom was to the scholar what the prison-cell is to the convict, with out a single ray of sunshine to smile in on the darkness. This system of teaching may be aptly illustrated by the following verse on "Old school punishment: "Old Master Brown brought his ferule dewu. And his face was angry and red. "Go seat you there now, Anthony Blair. Along with the girls." He said. Then Anthony Blair, with a mortified air. With his head down on his breast Took his penitent seat by the maiden sweet That he loved of all the best. And Anthony Blair seemed wbiasperlag there. But the rogue osly made believe ; For he peeped at the girl with the beautiful curls, And ogled them over his sleeve." The duties of the modern teacher are onerous but not sj varied as those of the ancient pedagogue. In 1771. the duties of Portsmouth (T. II.) school masters were as follows: "To act as court-messenger, to serve sum mons, to lead the choir on bundays. to riug the bell for public worship, to dig the graves, to take charge of the school and to perform other occasional duties. And even then, as Josh Jill lings remarks. "He hadn't a friend on the flat side of the earth. The boys snow balled him during recess ; the girls put water in his hair dye and the school committee made him work for half the m.ney a bar-tender got and boarded him around the naber hood whero they gave him rhy coffee sweetened with molasses tew drink, and kod-tish bawls three times a day for vittles." Moreover he led a more lonesome and single life than an old maid. But the old routine of pedagog- ism has given way to the onward march of civilization, and to-day our Free School system stands a monu ment of pride to every true lover of education. It behooves us as teachers to remem ber that the scholar is not an enemy, that every post should be guarded and sentried lest the exuberance of youth burst forth. The class room is not a battlefield, save for the good con tentions of intellect, where mind against mind shall flash out the bright thoughts of cultured genius. The scholar is an embryo man, and as hi teachev: we should be his best friend. His mind is in our keeping and we should culture it and develop it, a flower to bud and bloom and blossom under our care, till in the beauty ef its development, its fragrance perme ates the ait around, and spreads a high and holy influence to the uttermost circle blessing us and our work, er hangs ' upon the stem. a lifeless withered thing, devoid of beauty and fragrance, a monument to our indis cretion er want of heart. There is something more in teaching than the paltry dollars and cents received for services rendered. Our compensation, as all teachers know, is little enough, and too often grudgingly given, but if this were all the reward of our work t would be only that of the daily la borer, if tbera be no higher encourage ment, then our motto might be: "The ast amount of work for the greatest sum or money. Jiut it is not. we are preparing our pupils for the great work of their lives: we are brighten ing up the weapons witn wnicn tney shall fight great battles and achieve noble victories; wo are writing thoughts on hearts that shall in after days develop in nob'.e gelden deeds; we are engaged in a work tnat is grand and important and in this, the day of work, of earnest persistent effort, when the. sluggard drags in the race and dies by the way side, if we would succeed in that woik, we must be earnest, we must be industrious, we must be cheerful and hopeful, re- uuunberiag that from the ranks of the school cnildrea are to come the fath ers and mothers of another genera tion.' the eloquent men who bear the messages of God. tho orators, the phy sicians, the scientists, the merchant princes, and masters of skilled labor, the men into whose hands shall fall the government of this common wealths and greater, aye, far greater, the future mothers of this republic. In conclusion, a few woids on school government; as in this lies the great secret of success in teaching. In the majority of instances more can bo ac complished . by kindness, by moral suasion than by severity or corporal punishment. The dunce of the school can be converted into a hard working student by a kind word after floggings have failed; the dull lad be made an eager learner by encouragement, when all other devices known to the pro fession have been found useless; and the laggard in the race can be spurred into competition by a smile when the unsuccessful rod has been laid aside. Honest, persistent and earnest efforts in a kindly way, will win for the teachers a success in that vocation that will come in bo other way. It is true in all the varied forms of life. A kind word, a soft answer, will some tto3 fs3 a ctw&cter LotocoUlity ft. and usefulness, that would otherwise sink in the Slough of Despond and be lost in the mire ef crime and igno rance. Still there are cases of insub ordination, impudence and contempt for school regulations that are not to be reached by kind words and moral suasion. ucn cases are pernaps rare and the best treatment the aggressor can receive. is a thorough whipping tut nis mind returns to a normal con dition. Although in favor of corporal pun ishment, yet I do not believe in beat ing children like brutes, as boxing ears er pulling hair, or smashing mouths, or gouging out eyes, or in any way disabling their physical organization, not at all. But I claim that teach ers do wrong in allowing two or three obstreperous youths to vex the very soul and keep up a constant turmoil and disorder in the school room Don't worry, and fret and toss your self upon your bed at the midnight hour thinking of some untried method of moral suasion to reach those wilful stubborn disturbers. Give them a sound, decent, effective thrashing, and then instead of dodging missiles and shunning insults in your sleep, your repose will bo peaceful, and visions of happy school rooms and pleasant play grounds with merry laughter of joy ous children will visit you in dreams. Wo give below the opinion of a rail road man on pools, as he seer. it. It is worth perusal as presenting an other phase of the transportation ques tion. The remarks about large and small shippers are correct, be the speaker railroad or anti-railroad; and also in regard to the effect of state law: WHAT IS A KA'LROAD POOL V Mr. E. P. Alexander, vice president of the Louisville and Nashville rail road, in a recent argument before a committee of the Alabama legislature gave the following explanation of a pool, as it is understood by railroad men: "A pool is really sn agreement be tween competing lines at any given point, about to this effect: That if all will agree to maintain the equal rates, which have been generally arrived at between the competing markets in which each has had all the benefit of its geographical position and advan tages, then any line which does an ex cess of business, above the average of former years, and above what would seem its natural share of the business shall compensate the line which is de ficient in some satisfactory manner. It is hard to explain bow such an ef fort to prevent discriminations and fluctuations should become so gener ally misunderstood. "Xo man fan study the railroad problem intimately without becoming convinced that by far the greatest good or the greatest number would re sult from what tho railroad managers attempt in their pools. The misrepre sentations of their policy and efforts doubtless come from individuals who had been able to turn railroad wars to their individual advantage. In such wars large shippers have an advantage over small ones. Their business is sought by rebates and private con cessions, while small shippers are dis regarded. The large shippers iu those markets where railroad wars have been common are therefore often loth to see any arrangement by which rates will be maintained, however low these rates may be. In fact, largo shippers seldom care a straw whether rates are low or high ; their profits for the handling are the same in any case. Their whole care is to secure rates for their markets lower than for those for competing markets or rates for them selves lower than their neighbors. The large shippers too, are men of in fluence and ability, and it is they who usuallycry out against the pool. So the position of the railroad managers is that between the upper and the nether millstone. The public cry out, and unjustly, against fluctuat ions, rebates and unjust discrim inations, but fail to remove the temptation to commit them. The only way to remove, the temptation is to- make some " arrangement equiva lent to what is called a pool; but against the pool the large shippers have an especial antipathy. The pool cuts off their rebates and special rates. Xo law could cut them off, because they can always be made by some part of the line which lies out of the stale, so that state law can never reach it. And oven a general law by congress Can be evaded in a hun dred ways. -There have doubtless been com plaints of the wrongs made by pools, but these complaints are universally that the rates are not positively high but only comparatively high, as con trasted with the rates from some other places. "Questions of this sort are of the creates t delicacy and difficulty of adjustment. The twelve apostles themselves could probably never give atisfaction if they had to adjust the rates between twelve competing mar kets. It is in fact, to my mind, rather a doubtful question whether there is any such thing as justice in setting such a question. To illustrate by an examole away from home, in which none of as have any interest or feel ing. "Boston, for instancec is further from Chicago than Xew York is. Xow, should the principle ever be adopted, of making all rates a pro rata per mile, the rate frem Chicago tn Ttnatan would be SO much higher ' than tbo rate from Chicago to 'ew HAVER. HI York that all the foreiou trade now going through the former port would be diverted to the latter. This, ef course, would be an enormous injury to every interest of Boston. In fact, no such principle ever cauld be en forced, for the lines injuriously af fected bv it would never submit to it but would work at rates far below tho cost of transportation for years rather than give up their through business forever. "But whatever criticisms may be made upon either the purposes of the railroad pools, or upon the practical operations which have taken place un der them at any point, they have been resorted to by railroad managers as the only solution hich their experi ence In these matters has been abie to suggest; and that any imperfections or abuses have been the result of neith er carelessness nor indifference, but of the inherent difficulties of the problem itself. And as an earnest of their honest intent to correct the abuses, and to ar rive at just and fair solutions of ques tions between conflicting interests, the principle of arb tration of such ques tions, by the most disinterested and competent tribunals obtainable, is un iversally recognized and adopted; una if either the state or the national governments would provide such tri bunals the railroad managers would only be too glad to avail themselves of their services. CARRIAGES AT THE CAPITAL. Some of the Equipages Which May Be been in nuhlngin. A Cerresiondent writes from the capital as follows: The landau is tho most popular vehicle in Washington, as it can be easily changed from an open to a closed carriage, and nearly every Senator owns one. The hand somest belongs to Don Cameron, who has a team of dark bay horses. Mrs. Senator Miller goes out shopping, calling or driving in a pretty little coupelette, which is the envy of those less fortunate. Senators VanWyck and Grover both have fine teams and landaus, and are talking about adding saddle horses to their stables. Senator Johnston, of Virginia, is also partial to a landau. Senators Morrill and Bayard own the bay teams and landaus n which they take their after-dinner airing, while Senator Edmunds not only owns a bay team and a landau but has two saddle horses besides. Senator Pendleton has a private stable stocked with four horses, two bays and two blacks. He keeps an English andau and his coachman wears a handsome livery. The ladies of Nebraska are now be ginning to prepare in earnest foi the campaign ef next year, when tho woman-suffrage question will be voted upon. It is yet a good while ahead, but all interested would be pleased to s-e the discussion proceed. It is evi dent that there will be no organized opposition, and that the ladies them selves are expected to plead their cause to those whose votes will decide the question. This they have already shown themselves abundantly able to do. The contest will be interesting, if enough can be found to advocate the opposite opinion. Let every one who thinks he Las a good argument against the adoption of .he amendment pres ent it, either in the press or on tho rostrum, and challenge public discus sion.
