The schools OF the Country.

Considering the great difficulties In the
way Of analysing the operations of the
numerous school systems in vogue, the
report OF the Commissioner of Education for
the year 1S74 presents q large budget OF SER
viceable information. All the states and
territories are able now TO report their school
population, and the increase for the year is
416,l25. This Increase becomes apparent only
In those states which annually enumerate
q school population, and not those which
unfortunately use for each decade the returns
OF the United States census. The Commits
sioner presents statement showing the
expenditure per capita OF school enumeration
and the expenditure per capita of pupils
enrolled in public schools in the different
states and territories for 1874. Massachusetts,
heads the list with an expenditure per capita
Of school enumeration of S1i 20; of pupils
enrolled In public schools of S1i4S. The
remaining states report the following:

A member of the Forty-third Congress,
who frequently presided as Speaker during
the temporary absence of Mr.. Blaine, ex-
presses the opinion that the main contest for
the next Speakership will lie between Mr..
Randall and Mr.. Kerr, with the chances In
favor of the former. Mr.. Randall he believes
better qualified for the post than any other
democratic member except, perhaps, Mr..
stephens, OF Georgia, whose feeble health
would preclude the possibility of his
candidacy. Mr.. Wood he regards as
the least fitted for the place OF any aspirant
yet mentioned. He would make a fiue-
looking Speaker, and would preside over the
deliberations of the House with great dig
nifty, but would be found lamentably def
Gent in a knowledge of parliamentary
usageS

The Baltimore Gazette, referring to THE
STARS mention of its raid upon the canii-
dacy of Sam Randall for the Speakership,
takes occasion 10 diselaim that it represents
any faction or is enlisted in the cause OF any
particular candidate. All il asks Is that in
the election of Speaker, the House "will test
every candidate by the highest standard, re.
ject without hesitation those whose conduct
cannot be squared with the National Demo-
cratic platform of 1872, and apply the Jeffer-
sonian catechism-Is he honest? Is he Ca
rahle?1

The reform party In Baltimore complained
loudly before the election of abuses in the
city government, and promised, in case their
candidates were elected, to institute a reign
of honesty and economy in public expendi-
lures. On Monday evening last the first
branch OF the city council, on motion of Mr..
Hogg, reformer, reduced clerks salaries
from S2,1O0 10 $1,000 per annum, while the
pay of the sergeant-at-arms and doorkeeper
was fixed at 500 each, and that of the page at
Si0O. Believing that what was sauce for the
goose was ditto for the gander, a democratic
member entered a motion TO reduce the sala-
ries of members from 81 900 to $500 per an
mum. The motion was defeated by the votes
of Mr.. Hogg and five other reformers. This
does not speak very well for the sincerity of
The reformers.
