The Detroit F9eo Press speaking of the
comparative volume of water passing
through the ST. Lawrence and Detroit
rivers, says ::
Very careful observtions made by the
United States Lake Survey officers, with
the hydrometer shows that the volume
of water passing down the ST. Lawrence
river greatly exceeds that passing
through the Detroit river. As there are
no large streams entering the lakes be-
tween the mouth of the Detroit river
and the head of the st. Lawrence, it is a
very interesting problem as to where this
surplus of water comes from.

The Potter Law.

Just now there is quite sensation
again over this much abused law. Not
because it has been essentially changed
or modified, but because it escaped the
dangers that threatened it.
From The first we contended that
that law could not be fairly tested in
any limited time-that it was meas
ure Of too much Importance to be toss
ed aside as thing Of little or no &C.
count-lhat it involved principle of
vital Importance to the railroad compa-
MES, to the state, and to the people.
Now some Of these important points
have been settled; now it is conceded
tlat railroad corporations are creatures,
not only of legislative creation, but
of legislative control. And not till now,
has the commotion in the state, aud, in
fact, 10 the whole country, subsidized,
And now il is that both the friends and
the enemies Of the law can sit down
quietly, and carefully watch its opera
tions, aud its full bearings. If it works
injustice to the companies, tell us where
and how. This done, and the people
are never slow to amend. They need
not the second appeal to their gen.
crosby to arouse them to sense of
duty.
For ourselves we believe the rates
fixed by the law are, at least, fair if not
even LIBERAL and with good feeling on
the part of the producers and the ship.
pers on the oue hand, and a liberal
spirit manifested by the corporations on
he other, we are confident that no
cause Of compliant against the law will
be found. Continual chatting will
not mend the matter, but make it worse.
There is nothing like good feeling to
make work or business of any kind both
easy and agreeable Continual dissen-
sion will never bring about reconcilia
tion.
During the present year this Potter
Law will be fairly tried, and verdict
may be rendered either for or against
it with reasonable certainty. 1t is not
necessary, meanwhile, to make apoliti-
cal hobby fthe law, or in any way to at
tempt to make it subserve party inter
ests In that event it would not rest up
on its merits, and no safe conclusion
could be drawn either for or against it.
We trust, therefore, that there will be
no attempt to make political capital out
of it, but chat all will give the subject
the careful, candid consideration its
merits demand, and then hand it over
to an unprejudiced Legislature to be
amended or modified as the necessities
Of the case may seem to demand.

Our schools.

The doors OF ten thousand Ameri
can school houses are again closed to be
opened not again till summer shades
shall be spread over the gay green
earth, and hundreds Of thousands Of
children are again let loose, even as
from prison houses, to lear, skip and
play to the music Of tncir own merry
voices. These facts furnish US food for
reflection, and open up to us a wide
Geid Of investigation.
And, wherefore? Wherefore do we
make this vast outlay of money for
certain purpose? Aud why do We make
so little inquiry Into the way and man
uer in which the same is spent? Where.
fore is so much precious time consum-
ed with so lialc known about the re.
suits? Why are parents 50 careless
aud so indifferent about matters Of such
vital importance?
To certain extent the saying that,
What costs US nothing is worth moth.
Ing" is literally true, aud 100 true it is
in regard to public schools. Hence il
is that thousands upon thousands Of
dollars are wasted annually in this eoun.
try in the attempt to force upon an al
most unwilling community one Of
the greatest boons youchsafed by our
republican institutions to the children
Of each rising generation.
Il is not our purpose to 70 into de-
tails aud point out the next TO wantou
waste Of the public funds in the con
duet Of our public schools. But it will
be conceded by all that the waste Is
enormous when compared with tho re.
suits for good.
BGs the money we spend is not al.
Both health and life arc often sacrificed
in our public schools, Too often dDth
