women If they attempt to deprive them OF
their opportunity to crafty a selfish appe-
tite. While there is great deal of exag-
geration in what is said. about the iinsno:
rality Of great cities; as well as the morality
OF the rural districts. it is nevertheless true
that city people are not so subjective to
moral Influences as their plainer-living and
supplemented country neighbors. we
argue from tits latter fact alone the failure
of the effort il it is made here; but we are
satisfied that, as we have explained, owing
to the lack OF community of interest, the
effort would necessarily he weak and
spasmodic., There are other aspects of the
case, which we have, discussed heretofore,
not the least of which is the illegality of
any act that may bring into especial disre-
pute or interfere with the pursuit of legiti-
mate business. So long as the liquor bust
ness is duly licensed, it must take rank
among legitimate branches of business.
Those who engage in it, therefore, and
comply with the requirements of the law,

haste in compelling them to submit to the

THE GOVERNMENT AND TIE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Two days ago Mr.. Bundy, of Ohio, of
the Committee on Public Lands, reported
adversely upon the bill. which was referred
to them some time ago, to donate to the
District of Columbia an amount of land
equivalent to what had been donated to
other States and Territories for school pur-
poses. The bill was laid on the table, the
members voting to lay on the table proba-
bly, forgetting the fact that there are in our
public schools to-day over two thousand
pupils, the children and wards of Senators
and Representatives in Congress, not one
Of whom owns dollars worth of property
in the District or pays taxes. The fact was
also ignored that one third of the amount
paid by taxation gocs;to the support of the
colorcd schools. We have nothing to say
against the education of the colored people;
they with the whites are entitled to the
best education that can be given; but ought
not Congress TO consider the fact that these
(wards Of the nation, as they have pa
triotically called them) were brought here
by Congressional enactment, and that not
one in one hundred of them pay taxes 1t
is here that the drain comes on the school
fund.
Mr.. G. F. Hoar on Thursday offered a
resolution in the House to compel the pay
ment of school teachers by the District
authorities. Rising to personal explaua-
ton to-day, he stated that he had not said
that the teachers had not been paid for
twelve" months. But it is little singular
that the official reporters, (see Congres-
signal Record Of Friday. February 81 who
sit on the floor and the reporter of THE
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, who sits in the
gallery, should have both caught the words
twelve months unless Mr.. Hoar had
uttered them. Mr.. Hoar's resolution is cal
culated to create very wrong impression.
Whatever other sins the Board of Public
Works may have been guilty Of they have
not Incorporated one dollar Of the Pub
lie School funds On the contrary, they
have advanced large amounts of money to
assist in the payment of the current ex-
penses of the schools, and the school fund
is indebted to them to the amount of $53, 900
and over. If Mr.. Corcomn and the OBJ
structionists who have asked this investiga-
ton at the hands of Congress would pay
their just taxes, the school teachers would
have money TO go to market with, and there
would have been no necessity for Mr..
Hoar's resolution.

OUTSIDE OPINIONS OF WASH
INC TON

1
The general tone of the outside press is
extremely favorable TO Washington. With
the exception of the so.called independent
editors and their detectives and agents on
Newspaper Row, the District. and its af-
fairs receive o fair and intelligent treatment
in the journals of the day, and an evident
desire is manifested that the representatives
of the people should continue to assist in
| every fair and proper way the growth and
development and adornment of the capital
city of the country. The stupendous i'm
provements which have been made here
during the last two or three years are
warmly commended. and the hope cx-
pressed that the generous policy which has
been entered upon will not be abandoned,
if it shall turn out, as it may be confidently
expected il will turn out, that on the whole
the money voted by Congress and the city
has been fairly and honestly spent.
The New York Graphic, in particular,
has had the manliness. the courage and the
sense Of justice to enter its protest against
the slanlerous reports and accusations
which have filled the columns of its cotem-
poraries. In Philadelphia the Press has
stood up for the Improvements of the capt.
tai with a sturdy independence. and patriot
ism; and so of other journals in leading
cities of the Union. The Hon. John NJ.
Francis, in recent article on the subject,
wrote 1--WE have heard much about the
Washington ring. The charge has been
made that in corruption and wickedness it
is the counterpart of the dissolved Tweed
ring and the robbing of Brooklyn. But
the writer of this can testify that, whatever
the Washington ring may be, the city i'm.
provements effected are wonderful in mag
nitude, and SO far as judgment could be
formed most substantial as they are useful
in character. And again "The transit
ton seems to have been wrought as if by
magic, having been effected within so short
time; and in the way of city improve
ments on grand scale there is no parallel
to this example in the history of American
cities, Paris only, of all European cities,
in any respect equaling it." In answer to
the charges against the District officials the
same journal says: Fair play demands
that there shall not be condemnation and
punishment without cause, and that officials.
if faithful to their trusts, shall not be clam
ored down and crucifed without reason
and in violation of all justice"
We might fill THE NATIONAL RErcBII-
CAN this morning with extracts from our
exchanges Of similar import In another
column will be found an editorial from the
Ereniag Post, of Chicago which our read
ers will thank us for reproducing, and
which correctly defines the exact relations
of Washington to the whole country, and
expresses, We have no doubt. the senti-
ments Of a majority of the citizens of the
republic. The old Washington was a
standing reproach to the nation; the new
city is capital of which no citizen of the re
public need be ashamed. Washington is
the property of the whole country; the
bride of the Union, and it is only fitting
that the whole country should contribute
toward making her worthy of her position.

SUPERVISING ARCHITECT MuLLErr is proba-

The Albany Ereaiag Journal, however, sends
its compliments to him, as follows: sMr. Null

Architect, and has sustained himself in It with
signal credit and success. Like every officer
having important duties to perform, and neces-
sarily coming ct timesincopfict with the wishes
Of men like the late Mt. Farnsworth and
Others, he hasloccasionally been the subject of
attacks, and sometimes of Investigation. But
he has always come off with flying colors, and
the fact that after so long service he enjoys
the undiminished confidence Of the Govern
ment and of Congress is sufficient testimony
to his ability and fidelity in the management of
his trust" To use an original expression,
"Mr. Muilett's monuments will remain long
after the envious tongues of his detiactors
shall have crumbled into forgotten dust"

THr St. Louis Gloos. speculates as follows
upon Centennials aud centennial directors

tennial exposition maybe we can only dimly
conjecture, These centennials come at inter-
walls Of such great rarity that the man who has
witnessed one and learned its workings has
almost passed the prime and the vigor of his
days before anothercomes around. We know
that the present enterprise has Centennial
committee and an executive committee, and
then, rs quite separate organization, there Is
q finance committee. As there are no inanceDl
up to the present writing, the duty Of tie
finance committee would seem to be TO provide
themselves with finances, very much = The
cheap transportation committees endeavor TO
provide themselves with cheap transportation.
In the same manner, we presume, the function
of q director general would be to direct things
in general, and, in the absence Of anything
more tangible to direct, Mr.. Director General
Goshorn has undertaken to direct the Congress
and people of the United States as to their
proper relations in subordination to the one
object Of national existence, which is to hold
Centennial expositions." This is not alto
gether fair to Mr.. Goshorn. That gentleman
finds himself in very embarrassing position,
and, IS Philadelphia has, to. use vulgar
phrase, "gone back on hin" it is only natural
that he should try to induce Congress to give
him five or ten millions.
