DURING the past eleven years Boston
has erected l30 public buildings and pur-
chased for the same Y acres of land.
During the past year $l,44S,72G were ap.
propriated Tor 80 new public buildings
for city and county, of which about $780,
900 went for school houses. Two school
houses were completed during the year,
costing respectively $l39, ,994 and $l34, 2S6.
Five school houses are in process OF cree
tion to cost from $4,000 to $4,000; and
two more were provided for at a cost OF
500, 900 and $120, 900. Education is draw
ing very heavily on the public purse ev-
erywhere, but we fear that too much of
it is for the benefit of the few, and too
little for the common school instruction
of the masses. The tendency in every
thing is to the tew--a tendency that needs
vigorous opposition.

TIE PATRONS AND HE LAWFERS.

A writer in the Louisville Ledger re-
plies to T. r. Allen, Master OF the State
Grange of Missouri, who has been talk
ing against the eternal mastery Of all
departments of the government by a few,
lawyers. The general hostility of the
Patrons to lawyer legislation is well
known.
The lawyer who replies through the
Ledger pictures the absurdity OF law
makers not being lawyers:
"a Legislature or Congress without
lawyers would, i'll one term, make trouble
enough for their constituency to keep
lawyers busy many years 10 get matters
rignt again.
"A Governor who knows 10 law should
recommend to the Legislature to enact
nothing. A Legislature ignorant OF law
should follow that commentator
strictly. Legislation is law-makiing.
M en- who do not understand laws al
ready made should not assume the right
to make new ones.
"The science of Government, wise sys-
tens OF political economy, the profound
principles of law, are matters OF deepest
concern to the people OF this country.
The consideration OF these subjects de-
mand the most thorough and searching
investigators, the greatest acumep, the
most power full and we'll directed efforts,
and the highest order OF talent that can
be prouucedju the country"
A lawyer would naturally make more
of this matter than there really Is oft.
Law making and law administering are
not halt as intricate as professional law
yers have sought to make them appear
! to be. In all ages they have resorted to
devices for keeping the people subject to
them Tor the enactment ana administra-
tioD of laws. Ii useless technicalities
were all swept away, and common sense
left to govern, there would be less uncer-
tainty in the law than there is now and
very much less expense of legislation.
| The Patrons do not pretend that ig-
norant men can be statesmen. One OF
| the main objects Of the Order is to edu
cate the farmers and qualify them iOl
exercising their share of authority i'll the
Government. What they demand is that
of two men equally qualified, the one {
farmer and the Other Il lawyer, the farmer
shall be preferred, for the very goot
reason that the farmers arc 100 time!
more numerous than the lawyers.
In pursuing this praiseworthy ohjec
of education, the Patrons will very fire
quently have something to say about tn
Government being an oligarchy Of law
yers, and the lawyers the obedient ser
wants Of the monopolists.
We have made the above extract iron
the Ledger writer to give the Patron
an idea of the scope of study that is es
. scntial to craftsmanship. 1t is eviden
there are several branches to which iii
tie attention is ordinarily given, tina
must be made part Of the education G
: every young man who would be quai
fed for public affairs. Among them AZ
Political Philosophy and Politics as
science, Political Economy, Morals, an
the Elements OF the Law. Every Grang
, should endeavor to keep up schot
. within itself for such instruction.

Two widows, one rich, and living III an

MORTON,S AMENDMENT

Senator Morton's proposed amendment
for electing the Chief Executive pro-
yides that each Congressional District
shall choose an elector just as 1t chooses
q Representative to Congress, and the
two electors at large shall be gwen to the
candidate that gets majority OF the
Congressional votes. Should New York
choose sixteen Republican and seven
teen Democratic electors, the two elect
ors representing the State at large would
be given to the Democratic candidate.
Senator Morton's amendment is good
thing in itself.s 1t comes, however, from
the wrong quarter to look well. The
Senator is the strongest partisan leader
of q waning party, and the principa
effect of his amestiment would be to pro
Iong the power of his party. For exam
ple, under the constitution as it is New
York will give thirty-five electoral vote
to Democrat for President In 1876

One OF the worst evils Of the university
system is, that not u step can he taken
without q master. In place of exercis-
ing the pupils in the imitation of good
models, winch would in part dispense
with his aid, they are pushed in false
direction, where they seek their way
painfully, and can not advance without
helps. while the professor discOurages
them by corrections which are renewed
without eeasing. Seli-guiGance is the
first conditions of Il reasonable, imprOva-
bic being. Children should learn at
school how to study aione-to discover
for themselves what they wish to know.
In giving them no iniliatio',, in denying
them their tree-will, we prepare them to
resign themselves to the passive part
imposed upon the nation by governments
that take the initiative in all measures
of social interest. We thus form sub
jects for a tyrant, not citizens Of re-
public.

LOBBY REM UN.ERIIION.

Irwin has sworn that he does not con-
slider $500, 900 an eXtravagant remunera-
ton for such services as Schumacher
performed in getting the Pacific Mail
subsidy through Congress; aud that he
himself would never do another such job
short of $5OOO,OO0!
1t SO happens in this world that the
best service to mankind is the least paid,
while the meanest work is most literally
remunerated. What Is there in the
labor of an honest, high-minded member
of the lobby that Is so onerous and
disa .reeable, so mind-racking and
body-breaking as to be entitled
to such immense rewar !?
1t consists of nothing at all, according to
Irwin's testimony, besides furnishing
ignorant congressman with information
as to particular measure, and answer
ing all arguments adduced against the
view which the lobbyist desires TO pre-
vail. There is no other duty connected
with the service except to provide com
Portable quarters and pleasant enter
tainment for those Congressman whom
1t is desired to instruct, or whose views
NAV be erroneous and need correction.
What is there unpleasant in all thisY
e Indeed, what service could be more
honorable or diverting? And yet Irwin
swears that he would not do such an
other job for less than $5,00O,000! Schu-
maker was therefore "dirt cheap" at
100000!
1t is evident that Irwin had some
thing very different from this when he
estimated The worth of lobby service
He meant that IL was the meanest and
most rascally business that mortal man
could be engaged in, not excepting eX
press robbery by an organized bandnu
He meant that the service required ev
cry sort of corruption and bribery; ant
in return for the, obloquy with which i
was Justly loaded by the people, hi
should want a very large remuneration
This is what it means, and if any ON
supposes that about SoOO,000 were spen
merely in lobby service without bribery
he is too simple to live in this compile
world.

THE st. Louis Republican seems to
have wrong ideas on the ssocial evil"
question, or else lacks backbone to stand
up for the right. III emo statute can pre-
vent people being privately immoral" /"
statutes can prevent immortality as a
public vocation, and that is what the
right.minded people and press of st.
Louis are aiming to do. The Republican
is on the wrong side. 1t will never do TO
assume that people will be bad, and
therefore we must make laws to favor
badness. 1t must be assumed that the
mahy are moral and the few who are not

while under Morton's. amendment she
would give sixteen to the Republican
and nineteen to the Democratic candi-
date. So OF Ohio that at the last election
chose eleven Democrats and eight Re-
publicans.
Should the State 60 about the same in
1876 Democrat would get the whole of
the representation and the two Senatorial
electors, while under Morton's plan eight
of these would be cast for a Republican.
So OF the other Democratic States. AS
each district is TO give one vote for Presi-
dent under his plan all the republican
districts in Democratic States would be
saved to the Republican candidate;
while under the existing method, the
State at large chooses the entire
delegation to the Electoral College.
1t may be asked if it is not
as fair for one party as the other. No
for the reason that the great States that
give the large delegations to the College
are Democratic, while majority of the
smaller States are Republican. AS the
parties might stand in 1876 in point of
strength, it would be possible for Grant
to carry third term could he get vote
from each of the Republican Districts in
the large States.
In this point of view, though Morton
may be honest in his movement, it wears
a designing look. The Democratic States
would surely refuse TO ratfy it, and,
therefore, it could mol possibly command
the constitutional ratification of three
iourths of tho States. Had he brought it
forward six years ago it would have
locked much better. He might as well
give it up.
