B E DAILY SENTINEL,
THU RSDAY, APRIL 5. 1877.
EDUCATION.

Mr.. Eugene Lawrence, extremist,
utopian, idealist, has placed himselfi in
an attitude an,agonistic to tbs educa-
.ional system of the United States, or
rather the systems of the various
States; has declared that the State gov
ernments have failed in many sections
to educate their people I; that even in
many If the older Northern States the
schools are Indifferent ; that this
country holds a low rank in the scale
of education, and that the nation needs
a full and perfect system of popular
instruction, controlled aud enforced by
the General Government.
The statement concerning our rank
in the scale Of education is clearly er-
and naturally enough, COM
para;ive statistics are "conspicuously
absent" in Mr.. Lawrence's argument.
That America las the most intelligent
people and the best systems of educa-
ton in the world with the possible ex-
ception of Germany all w~eil-informed
persons know; that we are still tar
from perfect all admit. Without a
very general diffusion of knowledge
among the people, the perpetuity OF
the republican form of government is
impossible. II is obvious that our
cherished political institutions can be
placed upon an enduring foundation
only by compulsory education. If we
are all 10 remain soyereigns we should
all he intelligent. If we are to rule
ourselves we should be qualified to
rule wisely. Ignorance in power pro-
duces social disorders and political
anarchy.
But however strongly We believe
that the chief hope Of the nation lies in
the enlightenment of the masses, and
although willing to coucede that many
imperfeclions exist in the systems OF
instruction in the various States, we
doubt most sincerely the propriety and
wisdom OF the assumption 10y the Gen.
eral Government of absolute control of
the public schools. The reasons are
manifold and many of them manifest.
The greatest one is found in the fact
that it is next to impossible to ignore
politics in civil administration, and our
educational, like our judicial systems,
should be free from the polluting odor
OF the bustiDgs. Next, the expense
would in all human probability be in
creased two-fold at least. Extrava-
gance, even when not coupled with
corruption. has always been the bane
and reproach OF the administration OF
our national affairs.
If Mr.. Lawrence would content him
self with advocating IN amendment to
the Federal Constitution forever pro
hibiting sectarian teachings in the pub
lie schools in the several States, We
could heartily commend his course;
but to place the whole system Of popu-
lar education in all Of its details under
the control of the General q overnment,
seems entirely too sweeping and i'm.
practicable to merit the approval of the
American people. The present plan is
good enough if we can only crowd Sec
tarianism to the wall.

THE CONTEST FOR SUPREMACY.

acy in the Senate resulted in a session

sense of Sharos will give the Demo-
Gratis control of the Senate. Blaine. Of
Maine, and Grover. of Oregon, are
absent, the former in consequence OF

The Grand Jury of Allegheny county,
Pennsylvania, have been investigating
the Pittsburg riots. In their special
presentment on the subject, they fud
that the origin of the trouble was the
discomfort brought about by the reduc-
ton of wages on the railroads. The
authorship of the proclamation issued
in Governor Hartranft's name, they
were unable to trace beyond the rail-
road depot, and the Governor dds not
authorize it. The testimony is conclu-
sive aud overwhelming tn t the soldiers
fired on the crowd without orders. and
before the firing could be checked,
killed ten citizens. Twenty two per-
sons were wantonly murdered by the
soldiers on Saturday and Sunday, aud
the whole military operations from first
to last are classed as the blunder of a
Commander in- Chief who selects Gen
erals for their political or social stand
ing rather than their military quaifica-
tons. They deplore the fact that sol
diers Instead of police force was
brought into conflict with the mob, and
reject. the doctrine that the city and
county should pay for damages inflicted
by mob melted to violence by the un-
lawful acts of the military.
The report. showing AS it does, that
the military provoked the riot, and
that the citizens suppressed it;-that the
county is not liable for damages, aud.
should not pay any ;.that the prociama-
ti0n calling out troops was issued by
the Railroad Company aud was not au-
shorized by the Governor, will have
decided tendency TO cool the ardor Of
the corporations which urged the in
crease of the army to so 900 men. to be
used in compelling their employees to
shoose between starvation rates Of

GUSHING OVER SHARON.

The Gold Hill News, the most incon-

journal on our exchange list, and few

piece of the bank and railroad rings of
Storey county. gushes ecstatically over
its lord and master, William Sharon.
1t pictures him as the modern War
wick, holdIog in his hand the existence
OF the Republican party, with power to
ruin or preserve it. Republicans, you
who are such from principle, what do
YOU tLiuk of that? Do you believe in
the idiotie gush of Sharon's trumpeter?
Is the fate of the party of Lincoln aud
Sumner. and nearly one half the people
of the United States. at the disposal of
San Francisco stock jobber. who
values its princip les at less than few
shares of Ophir? If SO, then the
proud Republican party, which once
boosted of containing in its ranks. the
patriotism, the intelligence and the
honesty of the Nation, has by the
treaclery aud corruption of its leaders,
been sunk 10 the lowest depths of
political degradation.
