The STREET School street is
school which always has, and always will
have, its myriads Of apt and willing pu-
plls, Is there no way to make its lessons
less dangerous to the moral nature of
childhood ? No way to purge It's CONVEX
sation of the gross inlency that often
talnts 1t? No way to put stop to the
shocking profanity we hear every hour
of the day? 1ftherc is a law to prevent
men from disappearing God in our
thoroughlares; in the hearing of children.
why can it not be enforced? Is the light
of free speech to be accorded to men so
far as to allow them to undo the teach
ings of religion, and overthrow the moral
intiunce of home precept and example,
by using coarse, vulgar and blasphemous
language IN our streets? Parents are ad
vi>ed to keep their children off the streets
Would it not be better to advise law
makers to enact laws Furnishing those
who make the street such dangerous
school ?-Er

End mission and the homeopathic hospital are,
believe. the next two causes which, in the
puise of an army of weIl-dressed matrons and
maidens, seek help by winning, persuasive
words, or quite as often by watchful, eager or
patient faces.
women is slowly working its way into the front
rank of reforms. A woman's education asSo-
citation has recently been formed, and although
its first attempt at publ, and practical work was
not quite successful: aud although it has been
severely and unnecessarily criticised by those
whom it counted as its friends; it is not one bit
discouraged, but works in private, and one Of
these days viii come before the public with wise
and mature plans that shall command respect,
and make cooperation both a pleasure and a

To-day Mr.. WATSON, in the Sunday afternoon
course" lectured on Social Ideals. This is I'M
derstood to be the last time he will speak in pub
lie. before going abroad for long stay. His
lecture was keen, vigorous and Interesting. lie
protested against liberty and equality as the
words are now understood; showed that their
logical result was seen in the excuses of the
Paris commune, and that we were drifting in
the same direction. Our only safety is in learn
ing to pat duty before liberty, worth before
equality. Obedience and diversity are
nobler than liberty and equality. They
alone will bring public safety, and
national sanity. Mr.. WATSON is no friend to
Thomas Jefferson, and his famous preamble to
the declaration of independence; he attacked
him and it with delightful freshness and vigor,
as if they were new enemies just come to the
front, and needing swift humiliation. The
doctrines Of Jefferson seem to him TO have borne
fruit after their kind in Victoria Woodruff and
theinternatonal. Perhaps it is so With the in
ternational, but it seems hardly fair TO hold
either Jefferson or Thomas Paine responsible for
the immoralites or vagaries of haf-insane
woman, whose whole life has been pitiable
tissue of Indebtedness and falsehood.
One word about Lord Bantam, which is a
very bright, sharp and amusing satire, with Sc

reached stage of absurdity that we here, as
yet, happily know very little about.

The "Gen, Darr' who owns the steamer FIor
da, Is very DESTROYS to see the United States al
war with Spain. His demonstrations incline us
10 believe that the Spanish charges against the
Florida are not entirely without foundation.
lie claims that she was twice searched by Span
ish men-ofwar, on her way home, and atfidayits
TO this effect have been published; but there
appears to be considerable doubt in regard to
what actually occurred There is, however no
doubt that Gen Darr" has sought to fire the
American heart" against Spain by means ofcN-
citing stories about the Florida, and we have
suspicion that be is really vexed because the
Spaniards did not capture the vessel. II appears
that be has made himself nuisance at WASH
ington by pressing extravagant claims against
Spain. He demands damages, II Is said, to
the amount of million dollars, and insists that
our government shall support his claim and
collect the money. The president, Mr.. Fish,
and even Gen Banks of the house committee
on foreign relations, now give him the cold
shoulder. II would be good thing for the
country and the world, if all the interested ca
ban sympathizers and Adventures who intrigue
to involve us in war with Spain, could be
mustered in some suitable place, with the Gu
ban volunteers, and left by themselves to fight
them. 1t would be a battle over which there
would be no general lameftation, especially If

a Political Elaw-suit.

Daniel Sheehan, an eX-custom house inspector
in New York, brought suit against Collector
Murphy to recover thirty dollars which was
paid, as he says as condition of retaining his
place, in accordance with an order Of the col
lector that all persons employed in the custom
house should pa5 two per cent. of their salaries
for a political purpose. Mr. Sheehan failed in
his suit, the court deciding that the payment
was voluntary and would not therefore support
an action. Ii he had been sure of proving all
he claimed he could not have expected a different
result. The suit was probably not so much his
as that Of some one OF more persons who prompt
I'd him to bring it for political purposes. But
however that may he, it fell short of their ex-
pectatons whether political or pecuniary. Sew
eral persons employed al that time in the GUS
tom house in various capacities testified that
they paid assessments voluntarily, bat in uni
form proportion TO their salaries. Nobody else
knew anything abo1t the order of which Mr..
Sheehan told, and it was proved that no such
order was posted up where be claimed to have
seen it. Mr.. Sheehan and his friends were
plainly on a cold track, and the complaint was
dismissed without serious objection from the
plaintiff.
1t is rather amusing to see the affected SUR
prise and Indignation of the New York Tribune
about this matter One might suppose that no
such thing as political contribution had ever
been eXac;ed or asked until Mr.. Conkling>s
friends were established in the custom house.

case to the senate investigating committee"

The facts in regard TO political assessments are
notorious, and have been for years. No one who
is even moderately well informed about political
matters pretends TO be ignorant of them. Mr.
Greeley knows quite as well as any body and more
infinitely than most men, just how those things
have been managed for thirty years past at
least. He, like many Others, has considered the
raising OF money for political uses from persons
employed by the government, by iniimations,
more Or less distinct, that loss Of Office would
follow a refusal to contribute, as entirely a mat
ter OF course. 1t is wrong and mischevous, no
doubt, and ought to be stoppei-if it has not
been stopped already. President Grant saws

but it is no worse now than it was len or twenty
