Educational Progress In the Last
Hundred Years.

Educational progress during the past
century was the theme OF an interesting
address by William E. Phelps, OF Wi
mona, MINI, at last weeks session Of the
National Educational Association in
Baltimore. In 1776, there were but nine
colleges in the United States; now there
are 400 colleges and universities, with
81 900 students and $500 Professors and
teachers. Then little or nothing was
done for the education OF women; now
there are 200 female seminaries, with
23,445 students and 2,2S5 teachers. AT
that time professional schools were I'm.
known; now there are 800 professional
schools, will, 23,2S0 students and 2,490
teachers. Then there were no moral
schools; now there are 12l, with "a ,405
students and 96G teachers. Then there
were no commercial colleges; now there
are 1877, with 25,S92 students and 577
teachers. The secondary and prepara-
tory schools were almost unknown then;
now there are 1,l22, with 100,593 pupils
and G,l63 teachers. The school popula-
ton OF that day is unknown, but at pres
cnt il is more than $4,000. 900, and the
school enrolment now amounts to S,000,-
900. The total income Of the public
schools at present is $4,000, 900; expen-
ditures, S7500O,000, value OF property,
SlG5,OOO,OOO. These figures are very
eloquent rs showing what has been &C.
complished, but the following extract
from the report Is quite as eloquentin
showing that much yet remains to be
done before the whole field Of education
is fully occupied and developed:
The number OF illiterates by the
census OF 1870 above the age OF
ten years was, in round numbers,
5,50O,OOO. OF these more than 100000
we're adults; upward Of 100000 more
werO from 10 TO q years Of age, and
100000 were between 10 and 10 years
old. OF the number between Is and q
years, it is estimated that about one-half
have passed the opportunity for educa-
ton; and, since II is understood that
large portion Of the children in this
country leave the schools perhaps at an
average age Of 10 or IL years, the conclu-
sion is irresistible that tens Of thousands
Of those who are reported as illiterate be-
tween 10 and Is years Of age will forever
remain so. OF the $4,000 illiterate per-
sons between 10 and 81 years Of age, who
have passed their opportunities for in
structions, $1,000 are in the Northern
States, $4,000 in the Pacific, and 77S,00O
in the Southern.

The baltimore Il Ohio Railroad
and tho Western Union Tcle.
YraDli COmDnny,

graph company.
NEW YoRK, July 2L-The differ
ences between the Baltimore \ Ohio
Railroad Company and the West
ern Union Telegraph Company re:nain
unadjusted. The lines along the route Of
the Baltimore 4 Ohio road are being op.
Grated under a joint superintendency Of
the railroad and telegraph companies,
and this is satisfactory as far us II goes.
President Garrett, OF the railroad COM
pany, still insists that the Western Union
has no contracts, whereas, the Western
Union is acting In fhltillment Of its con.
tracts all tho while. Indeed, it is doing
more than its contracts call for and has
been doing a vast amount Of "dead-headn
business for the railroad company, which
it was not required to do, and which II
could have refused TO do.
The permission OF the railroad COM
pany 10 allow Atlantic and Pacific instru-
ments in the offices Of the company has
relieved the Western Union Of this dead.
head work to a considerable extent, and
in that respect It Is a gamer, but it Is not
denied, at the same time, that the privil.
eye granted the Atlantic and Pacific com.
pany has also taken business from the
Western Union outside OF the railroads.
business. That Is, the public has patron.
lied the Atlantic and Pacific when II
would have used the wires Of the West.
crn Union. The latter, however, does
not appear very much grieyed about the
matter. In the large cities, and particu.
larly New York, the Western Union has
more offices than the business Of tele.
graphing warrants, and there is more Of
a disposition to curtail these Offices than
to increase them. So far as can be learn
ed the Western Union has no hard feel
ings toward the popular President of the
Baltimore and Ohio road, but II Is ever
ready to meet him in the same liberal
spirit Il has endeGyored to show in the
Of itS business relations.

Soit Money Irurd.SheIis.

The Parkersburg Sentinel is a soft
money Democratic papcr-vcry soft, We
may say-and yet it supports the ST.
Louis platform aud the st. Louisnominee
"a piece Of inconsistency that is so
ylaring that tho very boys in the streets
laugh at it. The Wetzel County Vindi-
Gator refuses 10 be guilty OF any such in
consistency, us does also the Steu-
benvillc Gazette. They pI'FSlcr OF taem
support the St. LoulSs'nominee or
platform. In thus preserving their con.
sistOncy they set an example to all the
soft money Democrats on both sides OF
the Ohio river, and particularly to the
"Billallenites" OF our West Virginia del
egation, not one Of whom voted for Til
den or tho platform, but all Of whom
voted with Ewing, Of Ohio, for
his candidate and his substitute, never
once acquiescing in the action of the
convention az respects either nominee or
principles.
And yet we will see ninety out Of every
hundred Democrats in West Virginia, in.
GLIDING the delegation to St. Louis, and
including also all the gctters up of the
minority report at Charleston, throwing
up their hats on every hastings of the
campaign for Tilden and hard money,
Even the Kanawha Democracy, the
softest kind Of money men, went through
tho farce the other day in their county
convention Of congratulating their fellow
citizens upon the kind Of a candidate and
the kind Of platform the St. Louis con-
vention had given them, when perhaps
nearly every man Of them were ready to
spew both out Of their mouths at every
secret opportunity.
The fact is that the sott.moncy Demo-
Gratis Of West Virginia are not bit bet
ter suited in this campaign with their
candidate and principles than they were
in 1872 with Horace Greeley and the re-
construction amendments. They swal-
lowed poor old Horace and the amend
ments as the bitterest pills Of their lives,
and justified themselves by saying "any-
thing to beat Grant" They are now
willing 10 do the same thing over again
in this campaign, and II they get beat,
as they did in 1872, We shall find thous.
ands Of them Just as ready to go back on
their man and their platform'as they were
four years ago. Tilden and Reform Is a

for hard money. Mr.. Davis wanted to
substitute Walkers minority report on

plank in the majority report, and at ST.
