EDUCATION A SAFEGUARD

The hope of the nation lies in the
education of its people. An ignorant
class is, of necessity, a dangerous
one, and every good citizen should
lend his influence toward lifting
out of its ignorance. The free school
system should be universal. Every
dollar spent upon it is quickly repaid
in the greater security afforded to
society, and in the consequent re-
duction of expenditures 70 the sup
preston and punishment of crime.
Men of property may grumble over
what, to them, seems high taxation
but if they stop to consider the gen.
eral good results flowing from the
education of the community in which
their interests are located, they will
find that, after all, the investment is
one of the best they can make. If
rich men pay more for the support of
public schools than the poor men,
they have more property to be made
secure through the general intelli-
gence they help to disseminate. 1t
costs less to govern an educated COM
munity than an ignorant one, for
every intelligent man, if he has a
fair degree of morality, becomes, as
it were, the police or guardian of his
own actions. "Where are your po-
lice to maintain order ?" said Sir
Morton Peto to the Mayor of Law
renee, Massachusetts, as he rode with
him through the streets of that city.
" There they are" said the Mayor,
pointing to the troops of boys and
girls returning from school. F" We

servation Of ORDER e-.....

Army Wagons and NIaiOrs.

The New Orleans papers announced few
days since that the quartermaster here had
received an invoice of ITO govern ment
wagons, designed for the use Of the Quar-
termaster's Department in Texas. To those
conversant with the immense amount of
wagon transportation required to supply
the troops and animals from the San An
tonic depot the number did not appear
large. The Mobile Tribune, however, a
very original paper, worked the item over
into neat little editorial. which runs as
follows:
One hundred and ten army majors arrived
at New Orleans last Wednesday, consigned
to Major Potter. 1t is supposed that they
are for a movement to the Rio Grande.
Having colonel and good company
officers, old Jomini himself never could tell
what major of the line was for, or where
he belonged. Now we see that the whole
mob OF them, according to the Mobile
paper, are for movement to the Rio
Grande. Nothing could be more comical
than the paragraph we have quoted, but
the point was made by the printer and not
by the dismal editor, who thought he saw
more war under more wagons.

A Mistake.

On the fifth instant the body of drowned
boy was found in the river head of Chest
nut street, Sixth District, and it remained
there the following day, until residents Of
that locality complained to Captain Wilson.
The captain, understanding that no inquest
had been held, sent a second dispatch to
Superintendent Loan, stating the case.
This last dispatch was handed to Coroner
Chastant, and his deputy. Mr.. Wash
G. Boylan, emphatically states that an in
quest had been held and that the charity
wagon. with coffin, were ordered. 1t seems
that the wagon was tardy in reaching the
body. The compliments were not aware
OF the real situation. but they knew that
the corpse was there longer than it should
have been.

The Mails.

In view of the disagreement between the
and the consequent dead lock on certain
mail routes, We learn that Captain Richard
Sinnott has notified our postmaster that he
will take up mails which can be most con-
veniently sent on his Red River packet, free
of expense, and the mail matter for the
mouth Of Red River, Alexandria and
Natchitoches. will accordingly go forward
tonight by steamer Bart Able. Of course,
man can not be expected to render public
service continuously without pay, but
Captain Sinnott rightly appreciates that he
will serve his patrons by carrying to them
their mail, and his generous services IN
time of need should be remembered.

Local Intelligence.
An lmpediment to Commerce.

Since the dull season set in, although
quite large number of coastwise vessels
have arrived from the North with full
cargoes, none of them have been able to
discharge up town, while almost all their
freight, which is heavy and bulky, Is con-
signed to the wholesale houses above Canal
street. This is indeed disastrous when one
takes into consideration the heavy cost of
drayage, leakage and breakage in trans
porting goods-especially wet and heavy
goods-from the Third to the First District.
With better wharves, more room, and still
better approaches, the community at large,
or those more directly interested, may
wonder why there should be this unneces-
sarv incon venience and expense.
The cause, though simple, and often
before brought to the public notice, seems
very difficult to overcome, and until some
means are devised by the authorities to put
down the leaders of the associations that
will not toll for less than 81 day. or allow
any one else to do so, just so long vessels
will continue to land down town and there
discharge their cargoes for up town housee.
al the leaders of the Longshoremen's Strik-
ing Association have been worsted in the
Third District, and SO a day is an acknowl
edged down town price.
There are as many men in the First and
Fourth Districts who are willing and would
be glad to work for three dollars per day as
there are in the Third; but they dare not
because the most of the leaders Of the high
priced men live up town, and they threaten
to '.kuock the face of any man who dares
work on shipboard under their prescribed
rates.
Last week Alexander McNeils foreman
secretly made an agreement with some long
shoremen IN the First District to work on
the schooner Joshua s. Bragdon at So per
day. When pay day came they refused to
take less than 81 for their labor, which of
course Mr.. McNel would not pay. The
next day he was summoned to appear be-
fore the seventh justice of the peace, where
the whole gang swore that they were re-
gularly employed at 81 per day.
Two weeks ago, John Baker, the steve.
dore of the Dominion steamship line, ad-
vertissd for fifty men, at % per day. to dis
charge the steamship Memphis. He waited
six hours for men, while, at least, 300 stood
across the street, opposite the ship. and not
one of them dared take truck and 60 to
work, notwithstanding Captain Flanagan,
with squad Of police, stood by to protect
them. They did not fear molestation while
at their work. but it was after they had
repaired to their homes that they feared
assault, as they we're all threatened.
The ringleaders of these associations are
well known, as they do not hesitate to ad |
vertise themselves, and tell what they will |
do if not paid their price for labor. This |
being the case they should be made an |
example of and picked out as the ones to
starve, If there is to be any starving
among u.s. and whenever they Extensively
assert themselves in menaces of the lives
and limbs of laboring men they should be
put under bonds for good conduct.

APleasant summer yoynRe.

Eighteen passengers left in the schooner
Anita, destined for the island Of Cozumel,
off the Yucatan coast. Most of the com
pany are en- pleasure trip, and if they
meet with no great misfortune they will
have something to talk about for the next
decade. For summer excursion this is
one OF the most interesting, far better than
going North, as the heat is not perceptibly
greater in that portion of the tropics at this
season than here. The schooner took out
an assorted cargo, which can be disposed Of
probably. As there is no port of entry on
Cozumel for vessels from this port, the
Anita must first land at some point in Mex
leo where there is a customhouse. and
obtain "A clearance
