EPIDEMIC OF CRIME.

Have We struck an epidemic Of
crime? The reports from all quar-.
ters of lawiessness, raplne, arson and
murder present q terrible record, and
the latest addition to the list,-the
atrocious murder at Penningtonville
in our own State, furnishes a climax
of brutality. The details Of this
crime are SO terrible, and the fiend.
ishness Of the murderer SO apparent
that one marvels that the perpetra.
tor is human, or that the greed for
gold could SO completely transform
the man into demon. q

HAVE NO sYMPATHY.

The Democratic papers complain
that SO much clerical force was
wasted in the burial of the Presi.
dents father, Jesse r. Grant,no less
than thirteen clergymen having been
present on that occasion. As the
poor old man held a trihing Office
worth fifty dollars q month, did moi
drink whisky, and belonged to the
Methodist church, they have nc
sympathy with such criminal, and
wouid, if they could, have condemn.
ed him to death without benefit Of

SORROWS OF THE DEMOCRACY.

The Summer sorrow of the Demo
cracy are hard upon them. A revi
val Of Democracy is their desire
and the hope is that somehow the
Republican party will disrupt. Mas
sachusetts is looked upon as the
promised land, and nothing short of
a Democratic Governor for the old
Bay State will realize the wishes of
the unterrified. But SO far. as the
country generally is concerned, they
find it hard to get q good founda-
tion for their hopes Even Massa-
chusetts will not, in all probably
afford them the qualification. they
look for. Even should Butler be
nominated, he will pull through. In
regard to their general hopes-the
New York Postrather caustically in
quires: 'Do they believe that the
people of this country want prlnci-
piles rather than names? and if yes,
upon what principles do the received
Democrats propose to go before the
country? Will they urge free trade?
Ask the Maryland and Pennsylvania
Democratic newspapers and public
men. Will they urge morality and
honesty in the Government? Ask
the majority of Democratic Con-
gressmen who voted for and have
taken the back-pay plunder,and who
were willing to overlook the Credit
Mobilier fraud. Will they urge the
old Democratic principle of the op
position to the Governments invest
ing in internal improvements? Ask
the Democrats of Virginia and 9th
er States where canals and railroads
are demanded at the public expense
These questions satisfactorily an
swered would greatly aid the Demo
cracy II their aspirations.

GOING A BEGGING.

The Democratic and Liberal nom
lnation for Governor of this state is
still going begging. Ewing says
he will not have it, and every one
has been named for it, so far, de.
clines it. The trick really is how
ever, to dominate Thurman, SO as
to give him double chance for the
United States Senatorship. II de-
feated, and the Democrats should
still carry the Legislature, his de-
feat for Governor will give him a
claim on the Senatorship for the
gallant fight made by him; and il
elected Governor, he will have a
still stronger claim on the votes OF
his party for Senator, provided they
have sufficient strength in the Leg
islature to elect him.

EDUCATION At THE SOUTH.

The wisdom of George Peabody
in setting apart certain funds, the in
terest of which should be devoted
to the encouragement of education
at the South, is apparent The re
port of the Peabody fund, shows
that there is a deplorable lack of ed
ucation at the South. Yet the dona-
tions made serve to arouse an inter
est, and the sentiment in favor of
education is slowly but steady
growing. 1t is quite evident, how
ever, that at least quarter of cen
tury will elapse before the standard
ofintelligence at the South will at all
equal that of the Northern States.

In 1870, 5,566,546 persons Of for

the CENTENNIAL.

The subject of the Centennial eel
ebration Of American independence
is already receiving attention from
the Commissioner Of Education. In
1871 the Commissioner at a meet
ing OF the National Teachers Con-
vention at St. Louis, introduced a
resolution and delivered an address
showing the importance Of timely
and full preparation for the repre-
sentation of educational progress il
the United States at the Centennial
celebration. Information received
at the Bureau also shows that the
Teachers Association of Pennsylva-
mia and other States have had the
matter under advisement. The Com
missioner of Education will shortly
send out circulars TO the various ed
ucational institutions of the country
from the university down to the
township free school, asking a his
tory of each, with drawings and
models illustrative of the founda-
ton and growth ofthe institution or
school. This will give a most COM
plete view of the development of
education from the primitive schools
established by the various Coloniza-
ton companies down to the present
time. The Bureau of Education

one of the boasted institutions of

DISCRIMINATION.

The Pittsburg Gazette says the
Republicans of Minnesota have been
as fortunate In the construction of
their platform as they were in the
selection of their Gubernatorial can
didate- They have fairly embodied
the pith of the demands of the far.
mers, in a form not necessarily OBJ
noxious to the railroad corpora
tions. In place of the blind aboli-
tion of determinations, of which
Illinois furnishes an example, they
have declared in favor of cheap
transportation, according to the cap
ital invested in railroads the right
of reasonable remuneration. but op-
posing unjust determinations and
all arbitrars and improper uses OF
the growing power of railroad and
other corporations. They declare
that no rights should be vested in
railroad corporations beyond the
power Of future Legislatures. We
commend this to the members of
Constitutional Convention. The
distinction between mere discrimin
ations and oyer-charges can be read
ily made, and easily provided for.
This is done in the resolutions of
the Minnesota Republicans. We do
not believe, for a moment, that
there is any one so unreasonable as
to require railroad companies to do
business at a loss. Nor is it desir-
ed that rates shall be so adjusted as
to be uniform, those for short be-
ing the same as those for long dis
tances, and competition kept up. If
local freight rates put down to the
same figure as through rates, loss
ensucs, which is injustice to the
railroads. If through rates are in
creased, business will be lost, and
local rates increased, which is an in
jury both to railroads and people.
But that every possible advantage
shall be afforded local towns, con-
sistent with the legitimate pros
perity of the railroads, is right.
This should be strongly insisted
upon. But all discrimination can
not be abolished.

that there was slowed in the main
hatch of the vessel sufficient steel.
rails to thrown the compasses out
of all reasonable accuracy, and that
the disaster was doubtless owing to
the fact that the needles varied, and
and there was no opportunity in the
thick weather TO correct the reckon
ing. As professional question, an
explanation which may justify the
conduct of Captain Phillips in the
opinions of nautical men, they may
do very well. But the public, who
buy tickets to cross the ocean on
steamships, will be satisfied with no
such explanation, unless it shall be
used as a warning to point out
means of securing greater safety in
future. II q pile Of steel rails or a
case Of sewing machines slowed in
the main hatch of q steamer so dis
tracts the compass, then steamship
companies who carry crowds of pas
sengers have no right to carry steel
rails or sewing machines on the same
vessel with those passengers. The
few hundred dollars received for the
freight of a pile of rails IS no con.
sideration to be set up against the
lives of four or five hundred passen-
gers. If the steamers cannot com
blne the freight and passenger traffic
without bewildering the needle and
making the ship the plaything. of
chance, then the freight, business
ought to go to the wall. At any
rate metallic freight, which would
by its nature affect the compass,
should never be allowed to be, car
ried in passenger steamships. The
investigation may explain the cal
amity but it cannot justify it. Steam
ships do not run under full head up
on rocky coasts in calm whether
without showing that there was a
fault somewhere for which some one
was to blame. If it was the steel
rails and the compass which wreck
ed the City Of Washington, then
what has the Inman Steamship Com
pany to say for having placed the
rails and the binnacles in dangerous
proximity?-CleUeland Leader. e

THE BALLOON 1np TO ENGLAND.


Newspaper enterprise, which is
felt in all branches OF human activ-
ity, these days, has at last found an
endless field for expansion in the
revival of ballooning. Under the
auspices of the New York Graphic,
Professors Wise and Donaldson,
two well known aeronauts, are short
ly to attempt the feat of crossing
the Atlantic in an air ship. The
feasibility of the trip, its chances Of
success, and the scientific truths
that will be envolved thereby, are
being widely discussed, but as far as
we can observe, without reaching
any definite conclusions as to eth
er. Both of the balloonlsts are con-
fident of success in their undertak-
ing. They hold the theory Of 8
steady AIR current, like the trade
winds, at the height of mile from
the earth which moves steadily east
ward, and they expect by this to stike
Great British or the continent of
Europe in about forty-eight hours.
This theory can be pretty well test
ed by trip.
As to the scientific results that
will flow from the expedition we
confess we are not sanguine. The
trip will be made too rapidly for ae-
rial observations of any value and
it will take several voyages TO salts
factoriIy settle any theories as to
the direction of the various air cur
rents. In practical aspect we can
not see how any great good will lie
accomplished even by the success
of the present enterprise. A pros
porous wind may in the one in
stance watt the voyagers safely
across the ocean, but that does not
assure the safety of those who fol-
low after. Until an air ship can be
guided at will by the navigator, in
stead of being at the mercy of the
elements, balloon travelling will not
be a popular or safe mode of tran
sit. The difficulties and dangers at
tending the landing have not as yet
been surmounted and the exceed
ingly good chances of getting kill
ed in the decent will not be risked
by ordinary landsmen. -a
The commercial revolution that
will be produced by the success of
the Graphic enterprise will not
prove incaculable, and we would ad-
wise our "Granger" friends not to
discontinue their efforts at railroad
reform in the vain delusion that the
railroad is about to be superseded
by the Balloon. Bon Voyage to
the Graphic balloon.-Clereidnd
Leader.

ship Organization, reported a sub
stitute for article ten of the Consti-
tuition. 1t leaves with the Legisla-
ture to provide what body shall per-
form the duties now performed by
