the Republican campaigns for nomination
; It lias lieen the fashion of the Sew Em
" and its faction te inveigh hotly against il
legal feo-taking and then nominate men
Who continued it with high hand. Tim veiy
practices which our esteemed contemporary
hew points out as se reprehensible have been
, grossly indulged in by efllccrs whose pic
tures, printed in a little pamphlet, were dis
tributed ever the country with the pledge
"that ' every man whose portrait is in this
book is pledged te take no mero than legal
fees." ...
As seen as they get a chance they broke
their pledge.
It is net necessary new te inquire
whether the pretended reformers and their
organ which liaa se often deceived the
public In the character of the candidates it
supported were fooled themselves or in.
tentienally fooled the public. In cither
event the experience of the past should
serve as a warning for the future. The
new Hilary bill will no mero enferce itself
and protect the public than the old system
did. The county efllccrs, with geed salaries
attached te them anil n very .liberal nllow nllew nllow
nnceln pay and in the number of cleiks
and deputies, must make up all these ex
penses out of their fees before they are
entitled te their own pay, and whatever
the receipts of the offices fall short of these
requirements they will lie short. It was
supposed this necessity would stimulate
them te the prompt collection for the
county of the fees due it.
It is obvious that it may stimulate them
Mkcwise te evci charges.
Under the new system the officers have a
right te demand their fees,casli,in advance ;
there is no geed leasen why tliey should
net de it ; nor why they should net furnish
a statement, bill or receipt, which any one
can readily compare with the fce bill ; and
it he has been Illegally taxed, the civil and
criminal laws afford the ready means te
vindicate public rights and redress private
wrongs.
A llttle exercise of this sei t may be in
convenient for the lawyers and annoying
te the county officers ; hut it is the only
way that the new law can be made opera
tive and tlie old system be abated.
The Slate ami the Schools.
The report of State Supt. Higljceisa
very Interesting document, as almost every
thing that he writes is. There is much
that is worth reflection and piofeund con
- filderatien in that portion of it which we
reprint te-day. Especially it is a forceful
observation that tlie children of the com
monwealth and their education should be a
higher consideration than most of the
material concerns that are the subjects of
the state's greater attention.
In an Ideal state of society the home
alone would probably be the training school
of the young, and in any condition the
home education must be the chief
disciplinary influence ; there is a danger
that in some quaiters the public school
and even tlie Sabbath school will lie de
pended upon te de the weik, and will 1m
allowed, if net encouraged, te iisiup the
functions of the home life. Such a ten
dency limit be zealously striven against.
But we arc net in an ideal condition ; the
common school is an Integral part of our
political system, and it must develop with
our higher civilization. Frem a common.
Wealth of suehilchieftemces, suehpiiiieeiy
revenues and such extravagant expendi
ture! In many directions as Pennsylvania's,
the constitutional nllowance of a million
dollars u year for school purposes will net
be grudged, and if that was a preicr
minimum ten years age, it Is altogether
likely there Is room for the exjienditiiie of
mere new; especially in view of the fact
that the stnte spends neail a quarter mil
lion en its national guard and granted half
n million for the "extra totalen."
A Very (loud Cause.
A correspondent of the Ejcuminn; who
';,calls for the remedy of the evils of our pies-
cnt system in the lire department, devcl-
eps very clearly. In his clumsy
rmUhed of expression and his fail.

Will and have haul the work of the depait

the fact remains that we have net had a

We notice that llinw wlm wu im.i

Cleveland's Luck.
Tlie New Yerk Unix declares with a
heart burst, that 0 rover Cleveland isn
very lucky man. It Is what tlie governor
has said himself, and what the clicum
stances of his life seem te abundantly
demonstrate. 1I is net only elected
whenever he runs forefllcc,buthois pitched
upward te the very highest places with a
speed and vigor that would put te rout an
evil star, If such a thing should comtcin cemtcin comtcin
plate nu assault upon him.
It moves the 6'u that his luck does net
step with his electien: but that he is
seemingly te have a successful and glorious
administration, without any particular
Incitement from him. The times are pro
pitious te him. He will enter en his
presidency, the Sun says, just after the
country has touched the bed rock of busi
ness depression and strikes the upgrade
of prosperity.
It eeitainly leeks as if tills would le the
geed fortuneof Clcvcland'sadmliiistratien.
It willgct the credit of the revival inhusiuess
which will 1k largely due te time. Vet we
bellcve that the peculiar aptitudes of the
president-elect are such as te enable him te
give the fullest opportunity, which it is in
the power of the administration of the
country te give, te the reviving
business tendency. It will net be
checked by unwise laws or in their
administration, but will be promoted
by wise legislation and executive action.
The business interests of the country will
net be in the hands of a sensational word
maker, such as Maine, lint will Ik safe iu
the care of a business mind of mere brains
than brilliancy, and mere nse than senti
ment. Tin: Heading committce is industriously
trying te llnd a new way te pay old debts.
The chief discovery which they make is
that creditors who can get their jieiiud of
tleshwill be content te take half a pound.
Maybe they will; and may lie net. Hut as
the Reading company lias an abundance of
call with which te pay her debts, and as
coal is a staple article of well defined value,
would net the, ingenuity of the Heading
committee be mere profitably exercised in
finding a way in which te discharge the
Heading's obligations with coal, than in
discovering a scliemu te satisfy their credi
tors with a part of what they ewe them ? It
eeitainly ought net te be impracticable te
arrange a plan b which the Heading can
utilize her stock of coal, already mined, in
acquittance or as security for her obliga
tions. Tub bulletin id mil YVoedchopir Glail Glail Glail

Tin: skating rink of I.clniuen must be n
very iK-culiar institution, w ben the manager
deems it jirojier te ceme nut in n card te tlie
)tiblie denying a rejwrt alleged te have been
circulated that it was te be an exclusive nll'.ili',
conducted only in the interest et a certain
class. This Is a wonderful oxhihitien of jilii jilii
laiithrepy.nnd the nmiiager Is entitled te rank
with Sir Keger de Covcrley, as a pattern of
benevolence. He throws his arms wiile ejieu
te the public, declaring that nnne shall 1h
refused admission te the rink, who jmy the
price. That thu full glory of this ileed may
net be lest te the rink manager, this benevo
lent Invitation is gi en : "It is tlie ilcsire of
tlie umnngeinent that all rcputable crem
w hoseover (aie), shall receive a hearty wel
come at the rink." The nun with the rubber
check is evidently sojourning within tlie
limits of our neighboring iKireugh.
Witnx llcpuulican rogues fall out, honest

At regular intcrval.s Jcilersen Davis is
dragged out of his retirement te face charges
that be quickly proves false. The old Con
federate leader lias hail -Kouie heavy cresses
te liear, dcservedly, for the past twenty years,
and it -coins te be nearly tlme te let him
lss the few remaining ilayHOf his llfe iu
peace, without heaping en him undeserved
reproaches and attributing te him sentiments'
he never expresses!. James l'.irten in a re
cent velume entitled "Cyclepaedia of lliog llieg
rnphy," In a sketch of Benjamin rrunklln,
charges Davis with having expressed the
opinion that Dr. Franklin was "the incar
nation of tlie New Kuglaud character hard,
calculating, angular, unable te conceive any
higher object than tlie accumulation of
meney." Davis pronounces It a falsehood,
which, a-sciibed tenny educated American,
must carry w ith Kself-the intrinsic evidence
of its untruthfulness. He explains his views
of tlie reasons that Induced Franklin te wrlte
the maxims of l'oer Ulclmnl'a Almanac in
tlie statement that " It may sometimes happen
that a pure man by tee much questioning
may loosen the rest mints needful te lower
natures than hU own, and thus start them
along paths t,f vice which be necr would
have trod. Dr. Franklin's unquestionable
Integrity, jiatrktisui, lovenf truth, of science,
and et" tils fellow man should icllee him
from the deem of standing us tlie type of
such charnrUrs as his maxims may haui
formed." Surely Davis has enough te answer
for without putting tliis libelous weight en
his aged shoulders.

Ne worthier object can engage the atten
tion of n state than tlie proper education of
the children thereof. r.cn In governments
where the arts of war formed the main study
of the governing, and tlie chief practice of
the governed class, the worth of learning,
of mi advanced character at least was rever
ently recegnlred. Crcs.ir pardoned Vnne
1 lecalise he was the most learned of his nee.
and made him librarian at lteme ; and the
warrior Karl, when the 1'ranMsli judges
had condemned YVnmcfricd. tlie liemUird
scholar, te lese his eyes and hands, s.ied
bini, swing i "We shall net ca-lly llnd an
other hand that can write history." Hut
w here, ns new, the arts of pence come into
special prominence, and where the very pur pur
ies0 of legislation Is the highest welfare of
the people, no state can neglect the general
educational discipline of the j eung, w itlieut
setting aside tlie foundation itself upon
which its claim te legislate nt nil is Imscd.
Of course, much elementary training is
iiuried forward by the family, where father
and mother nrc me diMuciy eruaincu
guides nnd guardians of their elNpring ;
nml that commonwealth would be weak
indeed, the cultured purity of w luxe home heme home
llfe forms net its clilet pillar of support. Hut
the relation between home nnd the sivealled
common school Is most intimate. The chil
dren go from one te the ether and return day
after day through years. The opening of
school creates n kind of festival stir hi every
househohl, and, n' the term gees en, the
communion becomes se cloe that the new
companionship and disciplinary restraints
nnd study-tasks of tlie school-room move
into the loving converse and freedom of the
f.unlly-llfe as apart)f its experience, each
adding effect te the ether, ns bird songs tteat
into the morning's dewy e.d in, nnd become
part et rising day.
An agency se co-epenuit with the family
life, taking character therefrem, nnd adding
character thereto ; an agency se cajiable of
Iieceming a lasting blessing, as it should, or
n blighting curse, ns it may, throughout the
thousand homes which make up a state,
clearly demands the most watchful care of
thosewho make and execute the laws, nnd
should never be felt l Ik? a subordinate in
terest or mere accident In our halls of legis
lation. If the lull iu our rivers and the
game in our forests, with the forests them
selves, are of sufficient importance iu our se.
clal llfe te command the protection of legis
lation ; if the dilllcult problems growing out
of the strained relations of capital and labor
are of interest enough te demand the skill of
our most thoughtful law-makers ; if the
methods of taxation and means of cemmer
cial intercourse nnd the treatment of paupers
and the !n4tie well deserve the calm con
sideration of our ablest statesmen, then,
most certainly, the training of a whole
generation et children, numbering in our
state mero than a million, nllcctltig, as it
must, our present social life, and reaching
out into the future nnd conditioning the des
tiny of the ltcpublic, deserves nnd demands
the best thought and highest wisdom of the
l.egislatureef nu enlightened commonwealth
Hkoeurs.
Toe often is it the case, w c fear, that some
significant force of our social order, liecnnse
silent in their operation, insignificant In their
outward show, nnd mere spiritual than ma
terial in their results, escape consideration.
Who will deny that the primary education of
n whole generation of boys and girls Is a sig
nificant factor of social progress? Hew far
the possibilities with which it lias te de sweep
beyond the vision which generally catches
tlie ej-e of our business men and politicians
nnd hew much dcejiur and broader are the
responsibilities involved iu tlie care of a
million undeveloped minds than most of us
nre ready or willing te acknowledge ! Hut
se quietly does the whele work link itself te
our homely cvery-dny life, se modestly does
Ithide itself away from public netnety te
heep nearer te our hearth-stones, that It may
n'mest entirely fail te find that recognition
and attention which it ought.
SI ItliOI. Iirll.DIMls AMI llIlOUMls.
We cannot expect that parents will scud
their children, either voluntarily or by com
pulsion, te our public schools," unless they
feci assured that their physical health anil
mnnncrs.as well ns their intellectual dovclen-
ment w ill be carefully gunrded. It is iiuiie
tant, therefore, that the contrast I'.lwceu
home and school in these respects Swas small
ns pessI)1c. Seme contrast tcere must Is?,
growing out of the necessary distinction le
tw ecu tlie two j but there are many points
v here this necessary distinction has no force
whatever. If parents seek te surround their
homes w ith these silent protectors of the
heart-life and manners of their children,
in yards where smoothly mown lawns,
and shady walks, and fair-litu-d (lowers catch
the eye, and at ence lend te subdue the w ild
and discordant impulses of veutli ; if, with
instinctive wisdom, they seize iiien all the
icseiirces et art te deepen the charm of home
associations, and break the sway of low, sen sen
seus appetites, hew much mero de w e need
the sanie watchful prevision for our schools,
where the temptations te rudeness are multi
plied, and where unclean habits nre most
easily contracted !
We must bear iu mind that our soheols are
filled with children, net with mm ami irnmrn.
As yet they have no formed habits of thought
or self-control. Xn llxed character has v et
lxen reached. Hvcrytlilng with tliem is in n
plastic state. They stand only nt tlie half,
opened portals of life, but like insects they
nre
"Kaser te taste the honeyed iiprlnc
Ami float niulil the liquid neon."
llv no means are they blanks, hut filled
with n thousand impulses, and any ene of
these impulses Is likely te gain lmer!al
sway ever their whele lives, i he wide pos
sibilities of their future fur geed or evil are
already stirring within them as blossoms at
earliest spring already stir within their buds
long before the blooming Hush of summer.
There is hardly anything iu eartli around, or
in the air above, that is net cntcrlngiute the
study of their imagination. The state, there
fore, cannot allbrd te allow the children who
seen must characterize Its whole social life
te congregate in large crowds in places of
resort called schools, w here the buildings and
grounds nil spenk of careless indlllcrciice as
regards cither health or manners, ehilliiig
their young life, and shaking all their buds
fiem growing where everything is iu such
bread contrast w ith ull that can please the
eye, or touch tlie heart, or clovate tlie soul, us
even te draw out all the lower passions of
our nature, and make them run riot iu that
braggart boldness nnd reckless row dv ism
which defy all discipline or moral growth.
Ai.Msnersi:s net pit m usuniKs.
Ne children should be allowed te iass their
tlme In vagrancy, nor should any be thrown
Inte our almshouses, or be farmed out by our
inspectors of the jer. The associations of
an almshouse, wheie the very atmosphere of
pauper life must Ikj breathed by the child
year nftcr year, w here even tlie lusane nre
herded with little care, and with still less
knowledge of the right mcthodaef treatment,
nt the sight of which, day alter dav, the peer
young lire of tlie child Is chilled unit blighted,
or deprived of every gleam of hope, grown
(lostciateuud criminal are these the associ
ations which a Christian civilization can al
low a child te endure? The only present
remedy v, liieli we have that of farming the
children nut without any organized ellert te
train them te iudcjicnileuce and seir.rcspeet
is net sullicicut. It will net meet the case.
Industrial schools, embracing sufficiently
large districts, should lx established
without delay. All the cduntlcs within
such districts should be required by law te
send every vagrant child and every young
pauper Iu their almshouses (these young
paujiers number ever n thousand) into the
schools, where in addition te the common
branches of our public school, such In

THU KVII-S OP AI.COUOU
We have been urged te press upon ywur
attention the necessity of requiring, in all tlie
public schools of the State, the use of some
text-book tljien thu evil clleets of ntcohel en
the human system, w ith tlie hope that It will
nid In banishing from our midst the wide
spread miseries of drunkenness. Of course,
already In the moral restraints mid UKiplIne
of our schools, the virtue et toiuperance has
lccu a matter of careful attention, and
the cllbrt has been te give te our
jeuug such nieaiisiire of self-control
as may keep them from the Iheusmul temp
tations te v lee in nil Its vnrving forms. Tlie
school has Joined a 1th the family lu thlses
son Hal work of all training ; and" we nre fully
convinced that our school rooms nnd school
intercourse have lecu ns free Irem the pros,
enoe nnd example of drunkenness as any
welt conducted Christian household of the
commonwealth, lint the children, as they
leave school, nre ettcn threw nnt once Inte the
midst of n depraved secinl life, crowded with
nil tlie gilded fnoiuntiens of evil which over
master the Instructions of home nnd school.
All the forces, therefore, which can be used
te fortify the will te resist the evil and gain
strength for the geed, ought te Ik1 brought te
liear upon children lu the sclnxil as well as at
home. One of these forces in aid of temper
ance is n clear knew led go of the ev il effects of
alcohol upon the ltedy, and, through It, ujien
the mind. Such knowledge will deecn tlie
fear of transgression by kei ping in view Its
dreaded consequences", and thus serve, te
some extent at least, te strengthen the re
proving oice of conscience which challenges
the will te pause lcfere plunging into
such an abyss. We are glad, " there
fore, te soe that iu many of
our text Imeks en physielgv and hygiene
this subject Is made svciallv:piemlncnt, nnd
that lu tliis way It has lieen, and Is new,
mere and mero entering into the instruc
tion of the school. This instruction, how
ever, may be made mere definite and uni
versal by requiring, through an net of As
sembly, that It shall Is) given in every public
school of the commonwealth as part of the
regular curriculum. We must net be tee
sanguine, however, nlHiut the results; for
