WHIT no DO WITH TIE BOYS.

The Pennsylvania Teachers Association,
which has Just closed its session in Pittsburgh,
ia destined, we think, TO accomplish great
amount of local good. though its membership
is unfortunately confined to the Western
part of the State, and the view taken SO far
of all educational questions has been that
grounded on public-school experience. This
ia the time of the year when education thrusts
itself into view as most prominent subject
of attention. Already the columns of The
TRIBUNE are filed with advertisements for
the September term Of schools and colleges,
from the little primer classes taught by young
women and widows to the great Universities
in which the tyrO is plunged into busy
world, with laws, customs, even language of
its own, all immature, crude, and stamped
with the inexperience, the zeal, and the acrid
bigotry of boyhood.
Where shall we send Tom or Bobf is a
question argued holly over many breakfast
table lust now. OF course we have no bust
ness to take any part in deciding the ques-
ton. We would not if we could point out
the particular Rugby school or the college
where the lad should certainly be taught how
and why to reverence God, his neighbour, and
himself Every boy is to father and mother
a great possibility. About middle age a man
is apt to feel his footing in life begin TO
give way before he has well secured il; his
one chance is slipping from him: the inevitable.

sources we estimate that from $500 900 to
Al. 100000 of gold have been sent out OF the
country in the twelve months ended June 30,
1878, which, again, is in excess OF the produc-
ton. But here we are met with this extraor-
binary statement of the coin balance on the
1st of July. Accepting this, we are forced to
believe that the coin i'm the Treasury has de-
creased only from $SS,O0OOO0 on July 1. 1872,
70 ss7 ZOO 600 on July 1, 1873. We can only
saw that had it not been for Che remarkable
and unexpected appearance OF these twenty-one
tons the decrease would have been from SSe,ooo,-
600 in 1872, to $74,OO0,00O in 1873. What IS shu
more remarkable, a statement has been published
in several of the principal journals of this city
protesting 10 give from the books of the Treasury
Department the amounts Of gold and siirer coin
and bullion in all the Sub Treasures and depos-
itories in the United States on the 30 ofJune, and
the aggyecate amounts 81, 100000. The accuracy
of this statement has never encountered square
denial but, on the contrary, according to
report in one of the papers. active efforts were
making in Washington to find out who peached.
Whatever truth there may be IN these latter
statements time must show. We insist, now
ever, that the statistics of the expectation and
production of gold are worthy OF serious con-
sideration. In the former we have taken no
account Of the imports and reexports OF for
eign gold, or the quantities brought here by
immigrants or consumed in the arts. The
quantity annually packed into the teeth of
natives of this country is said to be something
enormous. For the estimates of production we
are indebted to The London Economist.
Finally, in the month of June, there was no
gold of any consequence imported into the
country. No caravan of Treasury clerks ar
rived from California with two or three tons
of coin in iron safes under military escort
Since according to semi-oiicial advices from
Washington, the settlement with the Syndicate
which should have taken place on the list Of
June was not effected until the Goth of July,
we are not to suppose that any coin was re-
ceiyed from them. II is, in fact, wholly mex
plicable phenomenon. 1t isnot to be excused as
necessary result Of Treasury bookkeeping,
because the discrepancy exists in the very
latest statement of the Treasury balances,
and no system of bookkeeping ought to be
tolerated that transmutes, like the philoso-
pber,s stone, baser matter into gold and silver,
and for months deludes the credulous into
believing that what in reality is only few
ounces of paper is twenty-one tons of
ciistening gold.

WHIT INSURANCE COMPANIES CAN DO
TO PREVENT FIRES.

Fire hardens what endures it's heat. Per-
hans this fact explains the apathy with which
the public receive the announcements of the
fast recurring confagrations, which are be-
coming a stereotyped feature of the news col
umns of the press. Vast manufacturing es-
Establishments, immense warehouses stored with
their products, and stately rows of dwellings
are destroyed daily; villages are Obliterated
and the business portions of large towns
"Chicagoed,n and the press disposes of these
calamities with small headline and an oc-
casional editorial reference. Fires are increas-
ing. both in number and destructiveness, far
more rapidly than the increase OF wealth and
nonulation ,justifes; and this in spite OF the
;mnroyed appliances for extinguishing them,
until from loss by fire in 1868 of S34,757,0O0
tbe annual loss, exclusive of exceptional fires
like those of Chicago and Boston Gf, indeed,
these may now be called exceptionally, has in
creased to more than one hundred millions OF
dollarsa
These are easy words to write, but how few
.omnrehend their significance. This loss is
tbe irremediable loss of $1OO,0OO,OOo of the
products of human industry. 1t is the con-
version of the brain and Drawn and blood
necessary to create s1O0,O00,OOO Of value into
ashes and smoke, and the original elements
out of which that value was created. AS
aiming that the labor which produced this
value ia worth three dollars per diem, the loss
ia the loss of the combined production of
more than 100000 men for one entire year.
But the property destroyed is sl1plm pro-
duction. 1t has been accumulated by the
producers after earning livelihoods for them
selves and families, paying their shares of the
cost of government, and bearing their pro-
portions of all tho burdens of society. The
average savings of men do not exceed five
per cent OF their earnings. Ii would
require. therefore, the labor OF 100000

The Commission of Accounts was INTENDED
to be a check upon the departments Inc
Commissioners were authorized to investigate
any account in any of the books OF the va
riors departments. The very nature OF their
lite of examination forbid the delegation OF
their powers to Others. When they ask tor
Clerks TO do their responsible and confidential
work they go beyond the law and violate common
sense. It is not expected of these gentlemen
that they will do the work of all the cierks ~
all the departments. If the Commission OF
Accounts il In examine, in detail, all that the
public officials do, we might as well have at
once a double set of Departments. No mer-
chant anticipates on engaging clerks to 40
their work after them. The Commissioners OF
Accounts are expected to keep generai
supervision of affairs-not to LOOK after the
details. Controller Green is right IN refusing
IN vote them clerks to do their work. III
clerks are given them they will need others
TO watch the first, and so on.

Bashfuness is a charming and engaging quality

The people of Niagara Falls have suddenly fallen
to protesting against the bad reputation Of their
hackmen and hotel-keepers We don't know that
they have been any more severely handled IN the
press this year than usual perhaps they are just be-
ginning to feel, in the shyness of travellers. the
natural result of long career of rapacity. 10 be
Just however, there is great deal of truth and a
great deal of evaporation in the current complaints
of the extortions of Niagara. The hackmen and
showmen are dreadful indeed; but the charges at
the hotels are not above the wateringplace stand

hackmen have moderate schedule of charges pre-
scribed by law, and when these are exceeded the

On another page, we publish a variety OF
newspaper comments on the Hon. John Bige-
lows letter on the National Centennial, lately
published in The TRIBUNE. These extracts
are evidently the utterances of many men of
many minds; that they widely differ on the
essential points Of Mr. BigelOw'S review of the
subject is to be expected. On the whole, how
ever, it seems reasonable to suppose that this
discussion of the method of celebrating the
Centennial will have the effect of improving
the plan already adopted.
The letters which we publish this morning
from our London correspondent give an ac-
coupt of some of the embarrassments of the
British Premier. The result of the elections
at Greenwich and Dundee seem at last to
have brought home TO his mind the import

the dissendons among the Liberals which
might have been more easily erected long
