~ Admiral Napier writes home to the
British Government that attacking Cronstadt
or Sweaborg would be certain destruction.-
Admiral Chads says: "Alter two davs' in

of the forts and ships, the former are too
substantial for the fire of ships to make any
Impression. They are large masses Of gran.
lite. With respect to an attack from the

tained." 1t appears that there are no laureIs
to be CARED on the Baltic, worth the risk en-.
countered in the task of winning them.-
Nicholas, like a sly fox, sits waiting for the
assault; but the careful old ad.nirals, after
taking peep from the light house, 90 bac k
to their "brandy and water" If the heart
Of the English nation were in this nation,
Nicholas would have been smoked tut of hi 5
hole before this. But the cautious old min.
listers do not want to fight, and the cautious
old admirals partake very largely of the same
Discrimination. On the part Of England and
France the present contests a regular cd
fogy war. ftt

present year has been l7,4l4 persons, and at
the same ratio for the rest of the year the
increase of 1924 will be 24,S2S, which is
much beyond that of lastyear. In addition to
this, there is large emigration across the

The recent ordinance passed by our city
council in relation to school tax, Is a most
gratifying proof of the deep hold Of the
cause of education upon the minds of the
people. Our city fathers have manifested
most liberal and commendable spirit in the
appropriation they have just ordered, for the
promotion of the cause Of education, and the
establishment Of a thorough school system
in our city. There are but few cities in the
growing West, which can boast of so rapid
advancement in their educational facilities
as Evansville. Twoyears since our common
schools were of the commonest kind, under
the charge Of ordinary, low.priced instruc-
tors, with school house accommodations of a
very inferior order. Within the brief period
mentioned On entire revolution has been eff.
fected, not only in our school system. but in
the public sentiment upon the subject of
schools and Of education. There are few
cities that can boast of greater projections
In their arrangements for the universal diffu-
sion OF education among all her children
than Evansville. Under the auspices of the
present board of trustees wise and practi.
cable policy has been adopted, and by the
employment Of competent teachers it has
been pursued with the most gratifying results
The trustees recognized great duty and en-
tered upon its performance with determi-
nation of making their work as perfect as
possible. r..a
The people have aided in the work by sup
plying adequate means to accomplish the de-
sired object. The trustees of the public
schools must see that they have earned the
confidence of the people, and we trust that
their future labors will show that they con-
tinue to deserve it. Their estimates for
money for the current year, to be expended
in the erection of suitable school houses
were readily responded to by the city coun-
Gil, and they have means at hand now to
prosecute their work without stint in any
particular.
We believe the day to be near in the fu.
ture when grade of high schools, for both
sexes will be demanded in our midst. These
will be rendered necessary the sooner in
proportion to the facilities afforded by the
present system. There can be no possible
reason why the same educational facilities
cannot as well be afforded in this city, and in
Indiana, as in the larger cities and older
States of the North and East. The same
spirit which has been exhibited here in the
last two years, needs only to be steadily pur-
sued, to achieve for our city reputation as
a"seat Of learning" which many Yankee
city might envy. Our adopted as we'll as ma
tive citizens have given the subject of educa.
ton an enthusiastic support. In thus recog.
nizing the claims of the Common School
system, they approve themselves of the pro-
per material for perpeturting free inst;tu.

The New Court House.

The new Court House is now making rapid
progress toward completion. Mr.. Roquet
has met with unavoidable delays in the con-
struction OF this building, and difficulties
have presented themselves which Mr.. r.
could neither possibly foresee nor prevent.
The strike among hands, the long spell of
hot weather during which time il was impos.
sible to procure men to work; the difficulty
in getting money 10 pay his emploees, and
the very singular course of the County Com
missioners in relation to introducing gas into
the building. have all conspired to greatly
retard its progress. Mr.. Rcquet is now,
however, prosecuting the work vigorously,
and ne is confident of having the Courtroom
ready for the October session, and the Coun-
ty Records will all be deposited in the new
Offices about the last of that month. The
upper story must necessarily be completed
first, as to finish house from the first story
upward would berather contrary to the usual
rule Of house builders. The completion of
the interior is all that is so pressingly de-
manded. The external finish will be put on
as soon afterward as possible. es'

POPULAR SovERElGSTY.-Reader, did you
ever think what was the "old hne'' idea of
Popular Sovereignty in Kansas and Nebras-
ka territory! II you have not, it is simply
this: II is to grant to the people of those
territories the privilege OF having the Presi-
dent to appoint their Governor, their Secre.
tary of State, their Treasurer, their Marshal,
their Judges and all their Executive officers.
1t is the privilege Cat least for foreigners),
to swear to sustain special act of Congress
before they can enjoy the privilege ofvotng.
1t also grants to foreigners the privilege Of
applying to an officer at Washington, (Sec.
rotary of War, we believe,) for permit to
travel certain rond, and none other, 10

elements Of Popular Sovereignty as now ad.
