The San Francisco Bulletin says: "We
havein round numbers 1900 Office holders
in our local government. To MAINTAIN
them it costs over 81, 800 600 a year. If to
these l 800 we add the State and Federal
officers resident in this city, we will have
a grand total of 1000 men employed In
keeping society together IN a community
at the outset Of 100000 souls. OF course
these are all civil officers. 1t will be seen
that they amount exactly to one per cent.

TENNEssEE seems TO be powerfully
stirred upon the mixed school" question.
The ie~llng against legislation securing
that object has been strong enough TO turn
so old ard jealous = friend Of the negro as
Senator B.ownlow against it. The State
organ of the Republicans. the Nashville
Bulletin. says it is now generally the case
that the colored children are granted equal
educational facilities with white children
and that during the past two years the
progress of the former has been wonder
fully rapid. "But," it adds. "1f the mixed
School system be adopted by Congress.
the system throughout the South, now
in operation, will be overturned. and few
now living will see one equally good
adopted in its place. Indeed it is not q
question of mixed or separate schools, but
il is q question Of whether we shall have
separate schools or none at all; and those
who are engaged in crippling or destroy
ing our present educational facilities are
guilty Of one of the greatest GRIN es."
