Ligh, on the EducaiionaI Question

The report which State Superintendent Groves
makes of his observations upon the practical
workings OF our school system " needs only to
be called to the attention OF the public. 1t
makes even worse showing than the newspa-
pers, who alone, heretofore, have thrown light
on the subject had presented, and it more than
justities every criticism which has been put for
ward, and every complaint which has been ut
tered, to the miserable lack, in great part of
the State, of opportunities for public education.
1t will not be a gracious task, perhaps, to SGT
forth the truth in regard to this subject, but we
hope the State Superintendent and all other
school officers will resoutely lay its facts bare
If they are discredtable, then there is so much
the more reason for applying a prompt remedy.
An error which has ,been committed hereto
fore, but which we hope will not be repeated,
consists in the attempt to ignore or deny the
inetliclency of the schools. This is gross act
Of folly. Such facts as are shown by the Super
intendent tell their own story, and attempts to
give them any other face than that which they
present at the first view are all in vain. Turn on
the Light Let Us have the faults and defects of
our plan of public education unsparingly shown
forth, and then let us amend them.

GENERAL GRANT AND THE SOUTH.

The Southern newspapers, as between Sherman
and Grant, are decided friends of the latter. and
the Lynchburg Fir9inian, speaking OF the
formers book, rather amusingly says :" He
evidently looks upon himself as superior to
Grant He can't convince tile North of that,
nor the South either. 1t may may not bc saying
much for him, but Grant could whip him to-day
either in a campaign, or fist fight, or anything
but writing book or running foot race.
Upon this. the Norfolk Landmark adds
We are clearly of opinion that when the war
records of the two men are compared the decision
will be in favor of Grant and this comparison
can be made nowhere to better advantage than
IN the South 1t is on this side Of the Potomac
that they can be more justly measured than any
where else in the Union. When this task is per-
formed it will be found that Grant was not only
the most tenacious commander the FSderals
ever put in the field, but that he was more
humane in all his actions than Sherman. 1t is
true We suffered frightfully from Grants army
but there is no page in the records OF his
campaigns which Is not luminous with mercy
compared with the hideous chapters of history
which Sherman made in his bossted and Inelo-
dramatic March to the Sea-
These are fair indications Of strong feeling,
entertained at the South, of appreciation
and esteem for Grant. We do not quote them
because of their unfavorable comparative opin-
ions Of Sherman, for the Presidents career does
not need praise at the expense of any other In
dependently, Grants military record will appear
on the page OF time in gigantic letters, and his
deeds Of kindness to the South, in the field and
in the Cabinet, do him credit. After he shall
have left the Presidential chair, he will be
praised and honored in the South to degree
which we now can scarcely imagine.

FfghA Between q Rat and n Snake.
Tho Pail Mall Gazette says 'The existence
of AT easantisl difference between instinct and
reason, and the unerring certainly Of the former
as compared with the progress of the latter
were till lately taken for granted. In the pres
ent day, however, conviction seems to be
dawning on the minds Of many that it is well
not to stake too much on the certain operation
Of instinct of any sort An impetus will per-
haps be giyen to this tendency toward caution
by the action of a rat-not indeed, seceder
from the opposite camp. but bona fde

course assigned to him by the best zoolo-
gsts. This rat was destined the other
day as breakfast for serpent in the Jardin des
Plantes at Paris, and was with this purpose in

unquestionably the rats duty. On being brought
face to face with the serpent, to have become
fascinated, and to have obeyed the instinct

an unresisting prey to the destroyer Far from
fulfilling the duty traditionally incumbent upon
him. this daring innovator flew at the throat of
the snake and bit it so severely to produce in
stant death, and a loss to the gardens of about
Z, 900 francs worth of serpent. This unexpected
result has, however, had tho good effect of
determining the managers of the Jardin des
Plantes to feed their reptiles upon dead animals
only, the fascination theory having proved an
utter failure"

Political Notes,

Tie Pennsylvania Republican resolution on
the third term question is as follows " That We
declare firm and unqualified adherence to the
unwrittcn law of the Republic, which wisely, and
under the sanction OF the most venerable of e1 :
amples, limits the Presidential service of any
citizen to two terms; and we, the Republicans Of
fenhaylyanla, III recognition of this law, are un
alterably opposed to the election to the Presden
cy OF any person for third term
The Hon George II. Pendleton has developed
unexpected power az dinner giver, and is
therefore. gradually crawling up as Democratic
Presidential aspirant.
Thd Democratic Legislature of Ohio levied
only e7l6,3l0 10 more taxes than the preceding
Republican Legislature.
1t 10 intmated that the withdrawal OF Senator
Sargent Of California, from the candidacy for a
second term is a preliminary to the coalition of
the republican factions in the State and the dis
solution Of the ''independent" and 'anti-mono-
poly organizations.
The Washington Republican seems to take
the Pennsylvania anti-thrd-term resolution
quietly, and concludes its alusion to it by saying
that the President will probably congratulate
himself that the discussion OF the subject ''haa
given his party friends in one OF the foremost
states OF the Union an opportunity, by means
OF plank in their platform, to defend him
against the malicious charges of the Opposi-
ton"

any ambition for the Preslden ", lie has proba-

Agricultural Park Yesterday.

An immense crowd visited Agricul-
tural Park yesterday afternoon to wit
ness the closing of the May races. The
hurdle race did not take place, owing
to the difficulty of getting arrange
ments made early enough.
The one hundred yard race between
A. Cells and Stemmons, for 500 and
$3.50 side, came off according to pro-
gramme. The betting was cautious
and light, perhaps $1,000 changing
hands on the result. 1t was closely
contested, Cells winning by about two
feet, in record of 81 seconds. The
time was much disputed, and is vari-
ously reported from 81 to IL seconds.
A mile race was arranged between
Harvey McLain, Mandemis, and So
norian named Rodriguez, for $25. The
pool list showed Rodriguez to be the
favOrite for some time, but at last Nc
Lain took the lead in the pool. The
race was won by McLain in 5:329, and
his friends made $500 in pools and bets
on his success.
In closing our account of the May
races we must bear testimony to the
energy shown by Mr.. Welch in turf
matters and his devotion to the COM
fort of his visitors at the Park. He
should have large patronage, and, if
our good will is any benefit, we wish
that he may in the future always back
the winning horse.

Bear Valley Mining News.

We had the pleasure of call yes
terday from Mr.. j. B. Cook, of the
firm of Cook d Wood, Bear valley,
and from him obtained some news of
mining matters in the vicinity. The
mining in Lone valley is quite active
and some astonishing results have
been obtained. One assay of galena
produced Sll3 in silver, $9 in gold and
go per cent. of lead to the ton. A
number of prospectors have struck it
rich in gulch mining, the figures go
ing away up in the hundreds. In all
respects it seems that the most san
guine expectations of the Jealous
friends of Bear valley are being real
lied. Mr.. Cook says they want men
of means, who can pay their. way
while prospecting. There is no open
ing for laboring men, as only one
mill is running.

Board of Supervisors.

Present yesterday Supervisors Evey,

The Finance Committee reported as
correct the reports of the County Au-
ditor and County Treasurer.
The Los Angeles and Wilmington
road was declared a public highway
from the Northeast corner of L.
Dukes, running South to Whining
ton. The Commissioner of Highways
was directed to procure deeds to the
right of way.
A petition for a road from Norwalk
Station to the Puente Mills was re-
ferred back to the petitioners on ac-
count of the failure to present the
bonds required by law with the petit
tion.
The Board then went into the ex-
animation of the delinquent tax list,
pending the consideration of which
they adjourned until 10 A. NJ. to-day.
