The sGHooLs OF WASHINGTON.

There are few spectacles more pleasant
to the good citizen than that of the crowds
of neatly dressed children that now day by
day are seen upon the streets. attending,
full of excitement and hope, the school ex-
ercises, at which the honors won by the
little lads and lassies, as we'll as by their
big brothers and blossoming sisters, are
announced. The years school work all
done, pleasant partings, marred by no fear
in their hopeful hearts of never meeting
again, and then the prospect of the long
summer days ease, of bright waters and
green trees, bright places for sport and
cool shades for rest, stretches out before
them with a glamour of novel delight that
older eyes will never see again.
To the generality of Washingtonians
these scenes are an especial pleasure. In
no small degree the public schools of this
city are the work of the local press. Es-
pecially has THE REPUBLICAN been for
ward in this work. Early in advocacy of
the public school system, eager to turn to
its advantage all opportunities, prompt to
detect defects and suggest improvement,
indefatigable in support and sagacious in
pointing out means for its widest develop
ment, the Washington press may well
! felicitate itself upon its work. The Frank
lin and Jefferson, the Sumner and the Lin.
coin buildings are as much monuments of
the viger and industry of the Washington
press as is THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
building itself. More than half the jour
nalists of the local press are to-day en-
gagged in the work of giving the public full
intelligence of the workings Of the public
| schools.
To the faithful teachers the public owe
debt of gratitude that is not paid by the
Treasury in this months settlements.
Their work for the year is before the peo,
pie. Exceptions to the rule of ample com,
potency and earnest labor there may be,
but " are but the spokesman of the pub
lie voice when we say to the teachers o.
the city, "Well done, good and faithful
servants"
Nor are the just encomiums that such
times suggest to be confined to the public
school teachers. The numerous gentlemen
and ladies who conduct private schools, q:
we'll as the teachers, who, like the excellent
order of the Brothers of Christian schools,
devote themselves with untiring energy tc
the education of youth in parochial acade
mics, merit also general thanks. These are
the special benefactors of large portions o.
our fellow citizens.
Washington has cause to be proud of hel
schools From great ones like Georgetown
College and Columbian University to the
bright little primaries, all are doing goOi
work for US.

Conspiracy Against Popular Education

From the PlttsburR commercial
We have on various occasions adverted to
the strong prejudice which exists at the South
against educating the colored people, lest it
should ''unft" them for their ''proper sphere"
We observe that, in connection with the pro-
posed reTision of the State constitution of
North Carolina, the suggestion that the SUI
frage shall be limited by an educational quail
fication is rapidly gaining in popularity in
Democratic quarters. The manifest design of
the measure is to limit the influence of the
colored vote. In Memphis, too, the city school
board proposes to enter upon certaiu measures
of retrenchment which even the Appeal admits
':wiIl efIectually kill the public schools" In
Texas and Arkansas the public school system
has beer practically destroyed, and in Georgia,
Alabama and Virginia the Democrats are con-
cocting measures with a view to producing the
same results. Everywhere in the South that
party seems engaged in wicked conspiracy
against the enfranchising and educating spirit
Of the age.

SPEAKING of impure water, Baltimore
and Philadelphia, way stations on the line
of railroad between Washington and New
York, are entitled to pre-. eminent consid-
Grafton. The water supplied to those VII
lagos not only smells badly, but taints
everything with which it comes in contact.
The Potomac water is mountain dew COM
pared with it. Notwithstanding this, the
people submit to it with feeble protest,
as they do to dirty streets, sinking sur,
face drainage and other discomforts. A
visit to either one of these places will

WHEN a new Government official is in
stalled nowadays it is the custom to make
a great howl about his design to reform
things generaIly. Ifhe removes his Office
desk to another portion of the room than
the one it occupied under the administra-
ton of fhispredecessor the world is at once
informed that he has inaugurated new
system for the rapid dispatch Of business.
The inference from this is that his prede-
cessor was incompetent. The Democrats
take advantage of this inference to injure
the Republican party. No one will deny
to a careful and conscientious official all
the honor he may deserve for the reforms
he may legitimately estaLiish, but a careful
and conscientious official will avoid, as far
as possible, any effort to build mp a repu-
tation at the expense of others and to the
injury of his party. No two men do bust
ness alike, and, while new brooms pro-
verbally sweep clean, it mast be remem-
bered that all the virtue and independence
of the party is not tencompassed by recently
appointed officials

AND now the New York Sun, organ OF
blackmailers, discharged detectives, thieves
and prostitutes, has begun to denounce
Postmaster General Jewell as an incompe-
tent official. Abiding to the acquittal OF
Contractor Kinds, it takes occasion to
abuse both Mr. Jewell and Senator Spencer.
The reference to Senator Spencer, although
gratuitous, because his name was not men
toned in the trial in connection with the
case, was to have been expected, AMI the
Postmaster General is to be congratulated
that the Sun has found fault with him.
"Praise from Sir Hubert is praise indeed
but to be denounced by the Pirate of the
Press is the greatest need of praise.

IT Is APPARENT from the result OF the
flushing of all the water-mains in the Dis
trict yesterday morning that the difficulty
OF which so much complaint is made does
not exist IN the water pipes, but in the
water itself The flushing referred to will
have the effect to prove to our citizens that
Colonel Lubey, the water registrar, has
done everything in his power to remove
the nuisance. Now let the engineer Off
GERS do as much by drawing off the water
from the reservoirs and cleaning them of
the filth and alluVlal deposits which have
accumulated in their bottoms during a
number of years. We are assured that this
can be done by connecting the mains di.
rectly with the Potomac, and emptying the
reservoirs through the sluice-ways provided
for that purpose, Until it is done no one

A CORRESPONDENT suggests that cactus
should be planted in the reservoirs, for the
purpose of making our supply Ol water
pure, and incloses the following clipping
from a correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean accompanying the Black Hills expe-
dition:
sOne evening, on the banks of the Woman's
Fork, they found the water yellow with mud
and sickening to drink. An officer remem-
bered an experiment he once saw tried and re-
peated it. pail of water was brought from
the stream, and into this were thrown pieces
of cactus, slices cut in two and cleared Of roots
and dust The mixture was stirred vigorously
for six or eight minutes, the cactus taken out,
and the water rapidly settling rendered clear

ECONOMY in public expenditures is to be
commended no matter from what source it
comes. But the kind of economy prac-
ticed by the New York Democracy in re-
ducing the wages of laboring men while
the salaries Of officials are increased, is not
calculated to win favor for that party. 1t
is a Characteristic act, however, of the
aristocrats, demagogues and plunderers
who have control of the affairs of the Me
tropolis, and the workingmen of the coun-
try will not soon forget it.

THE schemers who charged that one
Sribling, member of the Alabama Legis-
lature, was drugged for the purpose OF
keeping him out of the way pending the
election of Senator Spencer, are likely to
come to grief The details of their story
having been made public, 'Col." Perrlne,
the miscreant who concocted it, is to be
held to account by several persons who are
charged by him with having been accom-
plices in the alleged drugglng. This is a
fact, together with others, that will be
ignored entirely by the Detective press in
its assumption that Spencer is guilty of all
that Perrine charged against him.

A!ar.Hesl sham-conservative Plot Defeated.

CFrom the Harrisburg Telegraph
North Carolina has Republican Governor.
but the Lieutenant Governor is a Democrat,
The Governor intended to go to Boston to par
participate in the Bunker Hill festivities.
And the Democrats of that intensely honora-
bic State projected a nice little scheme to be
PLAYED while the Governor was absent. The
present judge of the Supreme Court appears
10 be Democrat, but does not appear to suit
his party very well. Some of the managing
politicians of the judges political faith secured
his resignation to be presented to the Lieuten-
ant Governor as soon as his chief left the
State and the duties of acting Governor fell
upon him. Then some other important offices
were to be vacated by their incumbents and
successors, in favor of some of the schemes,
the accomplishment of which the Governor
has steadily obstructed, were to be appointed
by the Democratic acting Governor. To pre-
vent the success of this nice little scheme Gov.
Brogden has been forced to remain away from
Boston, and so fail to appear at the Centennial,
TO which he had been invited and had an
nounced his intention of attending. This
scheme of the tar-heel Democrats bears close
resemblance to a plot for stealing the Sunday
dinner of a man who is going to church. But
then, as It was to be done by chivalrous sons
of Carolina, we suppose it must be all right.
Only we have been educated in a different
school, and so we are unable to appreciate that
fine sense of honor for which our Southern
brethren-and particularly our Carolina
brethren-are so justly celebrated.

Under this title the Picayune of yester
day morning. in its eagerness to say some
thing derogatory of Governor Kellogg,
makes statement which ia incorrect in
every particular. after stating that two
men we're pardoned who were under een-
tence Of death, this paragraph occurs:
The articles of condonement were also
being written for convicted murderer
from Plaquemines, but as the clerk was in
the act of writing out the pardon the sheriff
entered and said the prisoner had escaped,
and thus the writing was dispensed with.
The object of this is plainly to keep up
the unwarranted abuse of the Governor for
his action in pardOning certain criminals.
1t has many times been shown that in every
case where pardon has been granted by
Governor Kellogg it has been recommended
by those authorities which precedent has
established as the proper ones to mako ap-
plication for executive clemency. If the
case above referred to was one Of pardon
it would be found the facts of the case
would have justified it.
But the Pie0ymne was wrong In every.
thing but the name of the parish. 1t was
the case of Richard Mas, convicted in the
parish of Plaquemines of murder for q most
brutal act OF assassination. So far from
Governor Kellogg having any intention of
pardoning him, it was his death warrant
that he had ordered prepared. 1t would
have been signed if the sheriff had not ar
rived with the intelligence that Mas had

ernor, and if he is captured will suffer the
full penalty of the law.
