that is so much criticised as shoes no item
more important, and certainly none where
comfort has been more sacrificed. The prac-
teal solution of the problem, scan ease and
beauty be combined in Shoes" has been ac-
compished in measure this spring. The
first innovation noticed is the Scotch welt
walking boots for ladies', with broad soles
projecting about an eighth of an inch beyond
the uppers, with low broad heels; a plain
shoe, with no attempt at characterization, but
decidedly sensible, and one which in time no
doubt will be adopted universally. A but

copper tacks, with small heads not larger
than pins, invisible as far as preserving the
shape is concerned, and greatly adding to the
beauty. 1t is a noticeable fact that shoes are
cut much lower than last season.

llI6 Oh $4l05 Q
An examination of this table will dsclos
that:
First. BY the present arrangement there il
very little equality of privilege in the length
or quantity Of school.-No. 20 has $50 days
No. 20, lat days; No. 8, 100 days; No. z
65 days, the lowest on the list.-Now these
are torn school, supported and paid for by
the property Of the town. Why should moi
nearly equal facilities be afforded to all? II
the district, as such, chooses to prolong the
school at its own expense, this is another
matter.
Second. The acreage attendance is not so
high as 1t ought to be, the highest being "a
per cent. of the census number, (No. IL ),the
lowest 80 per cent. (No 24) the average for
the rural districts, 43 per cent Not one half
of the scholars between the ages of four and
twenty one years are in attendance at the public
school. The total number Of scholars in the
suburban districts is ll76. Whole number
registered in school, G32. Average atten-
dance, GA. The average attendance in the
u
ter than the suburban districts.
Third. The school money is inequitably
utilized. The two districts, 20 and 2G ex-
pended 1890 of the total, 81, The
average attendance in these two districts was
1873. Whole number $40. Expense per
scholar in these two districts, $40, nearly.
Expense in No. Z, smallest and shortest
school, $685. per scholar, in No. II less
than g. No. 81 expended Sl49 on IA schol-
ars' $1,000 each. No. % expended sl2O on
% scholars, s.. 20 each.
Fourth. From this inequitable distribution
OF school money and privileges the smaller
districts suffer severely in poor teachers and
poor school houses.
What 10 the simple remedy for the fore
going i'll p? Abolish the present district system,
as almost every other city has done, let the
city own and build the school houses, select
the teachers. either through agents, as now,
or through the School Committee, and appor-
ton the money SO as to afford equal school
facilities to all. More than this, unite our
village and suburban schools under one or
ganizaton, distribute the cost OF schools and
the current expenses over the entire property
OF the city $4,000, 900, and extend the privi-
ieges OF the High School to the poorest bow

THE DIFFERENCE EXPLAINED.

The New York World having lovingly
inquired of the New York Post why lib
eral republicans and democrats could not
coalesce at Cincinnati and in the national
election, the Post makes the following
cruel rejoinder.
ITO point out the issues or princi-
PIES which the World at various times
during the last year has supported, and
which no liberal republican can accept,
would be an endless and fruitless task.
The latest of these is perhaps, its present
project Of abandoning the principles of
revenue reform as a national issue, and
leaving them to the local elections for
Congress, as II the national administration
were Of no weight or Importance in such
questions. #5f
But from the democratic party we have
a distinct. official summary of its princi-
pies. unanimously adopted by its last ma
tional assembly the New York platform of
1868. on which the party stands until an
equally authoritative and representative
body or its delegates shall modify it. That
document demands for the citizens Of every
State the power to limit the elective fran
chise, while we support the constitution in
restricting this power throughout all the
States. That document demands that the
fiye-twenty bondssbe paid in greenbacks !;
that is, paid in part. We want the gov
eminent to maintain the national honor
and pay its debt in full. That document
demands equal taxation of all kinds of
property. including government bonds
We shrink with horror from such viola
ton Of the pledged faith of the nation.
That document calls for protection by tax
law; we sbhor such abuse of the legisla-
tive function.
These are but few specimens of the
sound principles for which we contend,
but against which the democratic party, as
whole. is pledged to struggle. The
World doubtless agrees with us in regard
ing some of the doctrines of its party as
parnicious but as far as it does 40 it
abandons its party. There are other prin-
ciples just as important in which the posi-
ton the party will take this year is still
doubtful; and on which the World seems |
to be waiting 'on the fence until the bid
ding OF its party masters is heard. Hav-
ing no party allegiance to hamper it, the
Evening Post speaks out plainly its own |
belief on all these subjects, and will sup
port the party whose success is likely to
promote its principles. In view of the DO.
sition which the democratic party now &C.
cupies before the country, it does not seem
to us likely to be the party of sound prin-
ciples and reform in November next"
