CORRUPTION IN SAN Francisco. 49, The
citizens of San Francisco some time ago dis
covered that they had suffered from the mis-
doings of municipal officers, and they have
taken active measures TO bring the offenders
TO justice. Two or three men connected
with the tax department have been convicted
and sent to the penitentiary for embezzle-
ment or forgery, while charges are pending
against other officials. About the worst
specimens in the whole lot of municipal
dignitaries, however, seem TO have been con
nected with the Board Of Education, some
OF whom appear to have conducted regular
traiiice of places in thepublic schools through
subordinates of the board or other agents.
Some of the citizens who took the trouble to
watch man who was paid by the city for
watching school lots, discovered that his in
huence with the appointing powers was so
great that he could secure places as school
teachers for those who were willing to pay
him literally, however Unsuccessful the can.
didates might have been before securing his
good offices while four women teachers were
found who had procured their appointments
by paying money to an enterprising waiter
In the Cosmopolitan hotel.

The Black Hills.

General Ord has at last called "halt" 10
Black Hills, and the tone Of his order shows
that he means business. United States
troops and scouting parties of hostile Ind-
ans are TO combine for the purpose of pre-
serving invioate the treaty with the Sioux
The General states that his orders are to ar
rest the parties, confine the leaders, burn the
wagons and destroy outfits. This is sum
mary method Of meeting the case, aud fool
hardy indeed must be the miner, prospector
or adventurer who dares to defy these strin-
gent regulations Of the army. But il must
be remembered that the government cannot
permit its treaty stipulations with the
Indians TO be annulled. That treaty must
be kept in good faith until II is cancelled,
and the rush to the new Eldorado will be
to wait for little. In the mean.
time, the Interior Department viii send out
a party, headed by fist-class miners and
biologists, to make a thorough exploration
as to the mineral wealth Of those regions,
and report the result to the country This
course viii prevent those helter-skelter, and,
too often, not only proftless but ruinous
PUSHES TO new mining fields. The govern
ment has taken the only proper action in the
case, and miners themselves will doubtless
recognize the fact, and wait with patience
for the proper cancellation Of the treaty, and
the report Of the scientific explorers.

PAuPERTsM IN MAssACHusETrs.-T in-
crease of pauperism in Massachusetts is as
Stunning such proportions as to excite very
grave consideration among the philanthro-
pists and taxpayers of that state. There is
no apparent reason for this increase, except
that attributed to hereditary pauperism, fos-
tered by private and public benevoence, and
unless some manner of Thorough and system
aic visiting is adopted, and the condition of
each individual seeking aid is investigated,
and those able to work supplied with remu-
nerative employment, and charity only be-
slowed where, through illness or advanced
age, it is needful, the evil must continue to
increase. The cost to the state last year of
its paupers and poor children was more than
100000 the city of Boston alone paid
nearly 100000 in addition, and two hun
dred and forty towns and cities added $780,
900 more, making sl,400,000. The total
cost of the annual support Of paupers and
the defective classes is estimated to be ST.
100000, and the whole number of persons
receiving public support, in one way or
another, is abont sixty-fve thousand, 1t is
thought that about one-half Of these are ma
tive born, but there are no statistics to
determine.

A Hon CONTINENTAL recent con.
tlibution to a London paper Professor Bon
amy Price pays a high compliment to our
public school system. Speaking of the nor
nal schools of America he says, " The sue
cess in training teachers of the highest order
is often most remarkable. While the pro-
moters OF the higher education of women are
almost brought TO a standstill in England
for the lack of efficient teachers, in America
large public schools are conducted by wo-
men, whose qualities as teachers deserve the
greatest admiration These warm words
of endorsement from so distinguished per-
son as Professor Price will be fully appre-
ciated by own American lady teachers who
are doing so much, and doing it so well to
train the youth Of this country.

Cvm RtGHrs.-In a recent editorial in
the Chicago Tribune, upon the effects of the
civil rights bill the opinion was expressed
that the first constitutional test Of the meas.
ure would come from the north instead Of
the south, and would probably emanate from
New York, Boston or Chicago. This opin-
ion is in fair way to be verified A few
days ago a colored man entered Bnrke's res
taurant in Chicago, took his seat at the Ia
bic, and ordered his breakfast The waiter,
also colored, instead of serving him, reported
to Mr., Burke for instructions, which he re-
ceiyed briefly but promptly. They were to
the effect that it was not consistent with the
character OF his business to serve the black
gentleman, and that he must go elsewhere.
The latter did so, and at once went before
the United States commissioner and swore
out warrant against Mr.. Burke for viola
ton of the civil rights law. The issue is
thus made fairly and squarely, without any
nonsense or circumlocution. Thus it will
probably happen that the abolition city of
Chicago will bring the first test case before
the United States supreme court involving
the constitutionality of the civil right, law

NATIONAL PARk.-By an act OF the last
Congress, tract of two thousand acres be-
ing about one-thrd Of the island of Macknac,
has been set apart for a national park. 1t is
to be under the control of the secretary of
war, who is required to remove trespassers,
prevent the cutting Of timber, and the des-
truction of fish and game and generally to
take care of the property for the purposes
named. Hotels and cottages will be erected
under proper regulations for the aecommoda-
tion of visitors, and as the swindlers and
scalpers who too frequently haunt similar
places will be kept at bay, it cannot fail to
be a fayorite and charming resort 1t is
matter of congratulation that the govern
ment has thus stepped in 10 consecrate that
portion of this lovely island to the benefit of
the whole people.

SHADE TREEs.-In connection with the
subject of shade trees, we are glad to see
that bill has been introduced into the leg
islature of New York, making it unlawful to
hitch any horse or other animal to, or leave
the same standing near enough to injure any
fruit or forest tree that has been transplanted
or used as a shade or ornamental tree around
any schoolhouse, church or public building
or along any public highway The penalty
for violation of this act is fine Of from one
to ten dollars and the costs of prosecution
the fines to be equally divided between the
complainant and the overSeers Of the poor
Although this law may at first work some
hardship to wel-meaning persons, yet it will
ultimately be the means Of extending both
knowledge aud care in reference to the pro-
lection of this species of property.

PoRK PAcKISG.--The pork packing sea
son in the West closed last month, and the
official report Of the Cincinnati Chamber of
Commerce, through its secretary, giving the
salient points of the same, is full of interest
TO the trade. The returns for lS74-15 are
based on deductions never before given so
full and complete. The packing of pork in
the West has increased from one million six
hundred and ifty-two thousand, two hun
bred and twenty hogs in 1890, to five
millions, five hundred and tlirty-seven thou
sand, one hundred and twenty-four in 1874
70. Chicago is the principal packing point
having, during the last season, disposed of
one million, six hundred and ninety thou
sand, three hundred and forty-eight hogs T;
Cincinnati ranks next, five hundred and
sixty thousand, one hundred and sixty-four ;
St Louis next, four hundred and sixty-two
thousand, two hundred and forty-six. The
packing is divided into winter and summer,
the winter embracing, as far as possible, the
hogs packed between November and March
/, and the summer between March and
Novemb Or l. As to numbers for winter
packing, there is an increase of one hundred
and fifty-three thousand, three hundred and
fourteen over the corresponding period in
1884. Aside from the lard and barrelled
meats, allowing forty per cent. of the net
weight for sides, sixteen per cent for shout
ders, and fourteen per cent. for hams, if all
the hogs were reduced to these three articles
the result would be as follows for 1877 l-75 /;
Green sides, four hundred and sixty-fve
millions, seventy-fve thousand, one hundred
and seventy-one green shoulders, one hun
dred and eighty-six millions, thirty thousand
and sixty-eight; green hams, one hundred
and sixty-two millions, seven hundred and
seventy-six thousand, three hundred and
nine total, eight hundred and thirteen mil
lions, eight hundred and eighty-one thou
sand, five hundred and forty-eight. Illinois
appears to be the great hog-raising state of
the Union.

THOSE DIAMoNps.-Mrs. Fitch has not
got the Khedive's wedding present, after all.
Congress passed the resolution authorizing
Mr.. Fitch to accept it for her, and would
have RENTED the duty upon the diamonds,
had not General Sherman sensibly said that
he did not want any fuss. Neither the
bridegroom nor the father, however, can af-
ford to pay the duty, and as the bride would
have to leave the diamonds on deposit some
where anyhow, it is decided to leave them
in the custom house for the present Their
value, by the way, is not half million, as
supposed, but only about seventy thousand
dollars, and the duty upon them is about
$1,000. If it were suggested to the Killed.
i've, we have no doubt he would send over
his check for the amount, and release the
gift from bonds

We are gratifed to learn that DIR. VIM.
Warren, District Secretary of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mis-
sions, accompanied by Rev. DIR. Lindley, of
the Zulu Mission, Africa, will hold a series
of missionary conventions in the towns right
and left on the Connecticut river this spring
To those who know and have heard Dr.
Lindley hisna will be sufficient to attract
crowds to these meetings. No missionary
from that country has ever equaled him in
life-like delineations of that land, We
trust the communities in which he will speak
will find out his excellence and eloquence
before he leaves them. But one session will
be held in place, and to miss that will be to
miss a rare privilege and blessing. The
children will share in the meetings, and
things in abundance will be furnished to in
terest, attract and benefit them.
