As tbe fret schools wfll be opened st an early day, we beg to make a few suggestions to their patrons. Hereto fore the schools have been la opera tion for only n few months In each year, but the present appropriations will be sufflrirtt to support them for perhaps half the year. Now whila pa rents like to complain of the little pro- by their children, and Wbtle their complaints are generally well founded, yet they are themselves In a majority of cases, more at fault than eUber teachers or scholars. En- groaaed In boms affaire, they leave to teachers and chUdren and chance whatever progress may ba made. Now we venture the prediction, that N pareota wfll aaa that some prepara tion of lessons to made at home aad will In addition frequently visit the schools, that their children will make rapid aad aabataatial progress nod that there wfll be moch toss fre quent compiaiats of tnaffletonoy to teashen and duHneee la scholars Try It, good friaeda, you pay the teach ers; their antoitat are large enough for these bard times.

Itto true that our patty was not eommttted by tbe action of a conven tion to the support of tbe amendment, but. In tbe course of the campaign, tbe State Executive Committee deemed It necessary to pledge tbe patty, as far as R lay in tbrir power, and tbe ratifl- cation of their action by a very large majority of tba dsmoaraoy at tba polls ladueed many who were opposed to tbe amendment to support tv Tbe State Boporiateadeutof Education will noon issue his dnulnr ordering the early opening of the schools, sad the tittle boys aad gtito moot boot up their boon and loach baskets, while the teachers are oultivatlog their pa tience sod cutting switches.

Dm hood holders are eertetaty gutting uneney, perhaps their oonedeDoas are not yet wholly neared, for they are already engaging lawyers and making ready for a war on tbe Treasury. I think their fears are well grounded, for If ear floating and hooded debt tow great as Madame Humor prto It, why we will be com pelled to ooooolldate, repudiate, or eoofieoate, but the report comes In soon and I will not resort to figures until I see figures.
