of the laborer. For accomplish
ing these each have q separate
means. The increase of skill ill
q laborer can only be effected by
an education. Now as it is not
expected that a laborer can or
always will spend a considerable
portion of his early life in getting
an education, a system of nation
al education must then be pro-
viscd, and the children made to
attend school by some means,
compulsory Or otherwise. In the
United States this has been at
tended TO far more than in Eng
land, and as a result the Ameri>
can workmen are in a far better
condition than the English Eng
fish Political Economists are
urging this at the present time
as the reason of the increased
skill and condition of the Amer
lean and Russian laborers. The
higher a nation can be educated
then, the better will be the con-
dition of the laborers.

One of the reasons given by
the republican papers for their
defeat in Ohio, is that sixty
thousand Republican voters staid
away from the polls. Admitting
that to be true, it only shows the
extent to which honest men of
the party have became ashamed
of and Disguised with their party
leaders and managers. If they
had felt any interest in the sue
cess of the Republican ticket
they wouldn't have let it go by
default. But they wanted it de-
feated, and that is the reason
they did not go to the polls.

tracing attention in Washing
ton. The Secretary of State has
ordered an Investigation of the
V%irginlas outrage, and a man-of-
war has been sent down to SAM
tiago de Cuba to look after our
interests. The acquisition of
Cuba is now strongly and vigor-
ously advocated by many leads
ing men and journals in the coun-
try. 1t might give III a little
brush with Spain, but we need
something to brighten up our
navy and give exercise to the
warlike dispositions of thousands
who are thirsting after something
of that kind. Cuba is the key
to the Gulf of Mexico, and of
right belongs to the United
States. Under the law of desti-
ny, and let us take her as a pre-
lude to annexing the mother

No evens for the last ten years

had such a depressing effect up
Oh the Republican party and its
leaders. Referring to the cleo
ton in this State, the Boston
Post arks: The Democratic
party can justly derive from the
result of this election in Ohio,

concentrated its most powerful
efforts on its own behalf, an en-
enlargement such as it has not

1t is said that a ring of Off
cials, having their headquarters
in indianapolis, who r connect
ed with the management of one
Of the fast freight lines, have
been detected in a little Credit
Mobilier arrangement of their
own, which was very profitable
SO long as it lasted. Their me-
thod of operations was to make
extra charges on freight coming
from points west of Indianapolis
and rebilled at that place, and
then divide the proceeds. 1t is
estimated that the enterprising
