-a worse condition of things is

Tho present condition of things
tends to make moni braggarts, rufli-.
ans, coward1s, uint ruthfuil; and the
vv-y opportunity wvhich is generally
desired is to find( thie opponent unm
armed. Formerly men fought; niow
they kill, assassinate, murder, and
nio disgrace and lhttle punishmnent
are meted out. Donad nien can tell
no tales, and thie sur-vivor testifies
whait he wills.
Murder has been miado respecta

gentle women often join, wvhile the
blood of the slain is crying unto the

the verdicts of our juries there is no
use for trial by jury or a templo1( of
justice with all of its expensive par
aphornabai, for the gentle ahuh-like
murdoerers (by chance armed for' the
occasion) know exact.ly what feroc

line of defense, so sy.stomnatic the
testimony, that it is dilhllt for the

the School Coiiunissioner should takc
somne stand and throw his inlluenco
on th sido'of right and justieo antid
truth as found in the Word of lod,
and not in tho changeablo opinions
of man1. It is not his (utfy, nor
woul.I it bo wise, to ontor into
"doubtful disputations," wordy and
vohoniont arguments; but ho should
bring hIs influenco to boar to uphold
tho right, resist the wrong. L, with
the teachors, should instill into ,ho

stylo of the prosent, and point out
to thom the cowardico and treachery
and want of truthfulnoss. Lot us

thoughts of thoso under our chargo
into healthier, purer, bettor chan

at some futuro day put at erd to
the evils now existing and inlcre'sing.
Tho importance of tho oflice of
.School Commissioner is not appro
ciatod b y logislators or people. This
is tio partly to ignoritaice of t.e
duties, andl(] in part to the fact that
in many counties the ofico haits been
used as an asylum for the itnfirm, or
given as a roward for political soi
vices. To correct this the School
