The appeals iron a parties in the French
Assembly 70 Theirs to remain ut the head Of the
government, which were called forth By his
threat Of resigning last week, do not indicate
any growing popularity Of the President or his
administration. In fact, he has no party in the
Assembly or France; but all are content to lie,
well enough alone. AIl-Bourbons, Bonapart
lists and Republcans-viewe each other With fear

The school trustees last night voted to change
the series OF Biographies used in public schools,
from Warren's to CornelPs. We are not pre-
pared to say that the latter Ia not better geo
eraphy, but We recommend the board to "make
haste slowly" in the matter of changes In school
books. The drummers for the different book
publishing concerns are exceedingly eloquent
over the merits of their respective books, but IL
Is usually found when change is made that the
improvement over the book displaced is very
trihing, and Is frequently off set by new faults
1t is desirable that our public schools should
have the benefit OF all the real improvements in
textbooks, but the active competition among
the publishers leads to the issuing of more new
hooks than are really needed, and parents should
not be subjected To the expense and inconveni-
ence OF purchasing all the books that the com
peting houses claim to be "the best"

Cumulative or reformed voting TO insure mi
nOrity OF proportional representation, is gain
ing favor everywhere-with minorities The
idea OF the system, which is partially in oper-
alton in England and Denmark, and in our
states Of Pennsylvania and Illinois, is that III
there are five members TO be elected, and the
vote is democrats 200 and republicans 1000,
the representatives shall stand three democrats
20 two republicans, each party securing a rep
TesentatiOn propOrtiOned to its numerical
strength, instead OF the majority party getting
all the representation and giving the minority
none, as under the present system in this coun-
try everywhere except in the two states men
toned above. The proposed new charter for
New York contains clause applying the prin-
ciple In the election OF aldermen i'm that city,
IL Is not unlikely that 10 will also be adopted in
Kansas, so that under the new apportionment
the democrats will have one Representative in
Congress out Of three. Cardoza, the late col
ored secretary OF state in South Carolina, has a
plan to the same end under discussion, and the
Charleston Nelrs advoS stes it, and thinks it will
correct much of the lzwlessness which has
grown up under the abuses of exclusive ma
iOrity rule BY the present system. Propositions
tor Cumulative voting are mOoted in the legis-
lature Of Wisconsin ard In Utah, and in the
Pennsylvania legislature Mr.. Buckalew has re-
neved his bill of the last session applying the
principle to the election Of school directors, and
a. il was before received with much favor il
will doubtless become a law. 1t will allow the
voter wherever there is plurality Of candidates
(as there always il for school directorships) TO
have As many votes As there are candidates, and
to cumulste his vote upon or distribute them
among many, just as he sees fit.

Periodical raids on gambling houses have
failed in New York, as elsewhere, to accomplish
the purpose for which il is supposed they are in
tended, and that is the suppression OF such estab-
lishments. The only effect Of . descent by the
police on such place il to stop operations for a
night or two, after which the gaming is carried
ON ~ recklessiy as before until the next raid.
Usually here the leading gamblers are myster-
iousiy notified of the coming raid, and are not to
be found; and the police only manage to SCOOP
up few poor devils without influence. A bill
has lately been introduced into the New York
legislature designed to provide a more effectual
remedy. 1t requires every police captain to no.
tify the landlord or lessee of every gambling
house, lottery office or other place in his district
where gambling is carried on, within twenty
four hours after the entering of any complaint
by any citizen against such gambling establish
ment, to close the same under penalty of law.
Any police captain neglecting to give such no.
tice after complaint made shall be subject to
removal from Office, and shall not be again elig-
lille 70 Office for three years.

WASHINGTON CITY:


The Last Move of the MalcOuteuts
The presentation at the Capitol Of the memo
rial Of the non-improvement mslcontents is bat
renewal OF the fight made by them against the
Board ef Public Works in the courts and before
the people. In the courts, after full showing
OF their side of the question By able counsel they
were defeated, and on taking an appeal to the
people they polled but ,2l3 votes out of II ,0eo
Now, when they seek to renew the onslaught,
their forces have dwindled from ,2i3 to 900,
the number Of signers to the petition. This
eiectually disPOses Of the claim they put forth
to represent the people of the city, and giance
at the mass OF the unknown signatures is equally
enectlEe In dissipating the idea that they repre-
sent the Taxpayers OF Washington.
But the most signal evidence of the falsity of
the allegations made by these reactionists
against The District government is the high
standing of the District credit in the money
circles of the world Capitalists are royerbially
cautious the world over, and never invest money
where there are signs of bad management en-
dangeTing the security; yet after a careful ex-
animation by this class of shrewd business men
into the resources of the District of Columbia,
the rate OF taxation here. and the amount Of in
debtedness the District government is author
lied 20 incur, they have taken our loans on
terms more favorable than have been obtained
any OtLcr CITY gOtCI0meut III Ine country.
They have thus shown the confidence they feel
in the management Of our city affairs. During
the early part of the year, before the passage OF
ihe District BILL the old bonds (ten-year) of the
corporation of Washington were selling at 80 TO
IS. Since the organization of the District gov
eminent and the Sinking Fund Commission,
they have advanced to 81 which was the price
asked by the holders, under the late advertise
ment of the commissioners.
The improvement loan OF four millions was
negotiated at 961 Notwithstanding the fact that
every effort was made by this party to depre-
ciate and destroy their value. At the same time
that our loan was effected at 969 the bonds Of
Jersey City, large and prosperous as that place
Il, brought but 90. The Water-loan bonds have
just been negotiated at par, being the first in
stance on record where our city bonds have
brought any such figures.
1t cannot be said that the people who take
these bonds do not understand our financial
status, in the face of the continuous and vocife-
TOus elamor made against the District govern
ment by its traduceTs. The parties active in
making these charges have been branded twice
by the courts and by the people as mschievous
and untruthful, and they deserve the censure of
al good citizens, as their efforts can have but
one aim, that of destroying the credit and good
name of the city,

The Wharton trial at Annapolis has resultAl
in a verdict Of "not guilty" This was not aft8-
gether unexpected, As many who held the most
strongly to her guilt could not fail to see that
the evidence was insufficient to bring the crime
directly home TO her. 1t was rather expected,
however, that the jury would disagree, and that
new trial would be had The trial commenced
On the 18th Of December and closed on the sd Of
January. the jury having been KEEP. together
hfty-one days, including Sundays and Christ
mas, although only forty-two days in actual
session. Mrs Wharton is to be put on trial
again on the charge Of attempting to murder
Eugene Van Ness, but can now 20 at large on
bail, as she has been acquitted on the capital
charge of numbering General ketehum.
