Sawyer ct Ais.

1t is amusing to notice the general amaze
ment excited by the fact that a jury in the
District of Columbia has convicted person
formerly prominent in official life in Wash
ington. +. A. Sawyer was once United
States Senator from South Carolina, and un-
der Secretary Richardson was Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury. Last Saturday
he was convicted Of the penal offence of con-
spiracy to obtain the payment Of a fraudu-
lent cotton claim.
1t is not pleasant circumstance that a
person who has held such high and honor
able offices should be convicted of such n
crime, but on the whole it is better for the
country that offenders in high places of
trust should be brought to punishment
like Sawyer than that they should escape
like Belknap. The jury, it seems, recon-
mended Sawyer to mercy on the ground
that they believe he got mono of the money
but was under improper influences. Tho
plea does not better his condition before the
public, for it admits that he, being trusted
to guard the Treasury was, in fact, faithless
to his trust.
Encouraged by tho conviction of SAWYER
and his fellow conspirators the Witowski
case, in which ex-Congressman Negley.
of Pittsburg, was indicted with others for
a fraud on the Treasury, and the notorious
Sugg Fort case, in which ex-Congressman
Roderick Random Butler was indicted. are
called at once to trial. Both these cases
were investigated under Secretary Bristow,a
orders, and in both the most barefaced and
shameless frauds were brought to light
The papers were sent to the Grand Jury
and the indictments were promptly found.

Racing and the Rain.

The roads and parks were well watered
yesterday, one Of the melancholy days of the
year, and none but the storm steeds raced
around the deserted course at Jerome Park.
The rain disappointed many persons, who
will, however, probably gain by the post
ponement of the races till to-day. The
chances are rather in favor of dry but
cloudy afternoon, with cool winds from the
northwest, and. the result will be much bet
ter driving and racing day than there has
been yet during the meeting The rain
has effectually laid the dust, and the
roads and course will be in hard,
firm condition, as the cool wind will soon
dry up the mud. The Park will look charm
ihgly after the woods have had the refresh
ing rain they needed SO much, and we may
expect to see Harlem lane and Jerome ave.
nue. filed with q gay parade of handsome
wagons and crowded tour-in-hands. The
same programme announced for yesterday
is to be given in the races this
afternoon, and it is brilliant one.
Each Of the four events is attract
i've, and many of the best horses OF
the most famous stables in the country are
entered for the stakes. 1t is, therefore, not
entirely o misfortune that the races were
postponed, for, according to the old proverb
that it is an i'll wind that brings nobody

Health and the Public Schools.

Important suggestions in regard to the
public schools of this city were made at
the recent meeting Of the Medico-Legal
Society which deserve the prompt con-
sideration of the Board Of Health and the
Board Of Education, two bodies upon which
the responsibility rests Of providing o
proper hygienic system. The first of these
refers to the want Of ventilation in school
rooms, an evil which is SO palpable that it
is strange it has not been long before this re-
moved. The fact that children cannot study
as they should when confined in crowded
rooms, breathing foul air. should not be
overlooked, but is of small Importance
compared with the injury which is done to
their health. Headaches, nervous affections
and kindred complaints are caused by the
poisonous atmosphere inhaled, and the re-
port of the society attributes the alarming
prevalence of eye diseases among children
largely to the bad ventilation Of schools
These dangers appear to be increased by
the custom Of keeping children under six
years of age too long in school-certainly a
great wrong for infancy should not be con-
fined and restrained, but needs oil the fresh
air and recreation it can get. The worst
uses to which our schools can be put is to
make them places to which thoughtless or
ignorant parents may send their trouble.
some little ones ''to keep them out OF the
way" 1t is hardly astonishing that in view
Of these and othor imperfoctions the Medi-
co-Legal Society should declare that the
enforcement of the Compulsory Education
law is at present an impossibility. The
principle of that measure is sound one,
but its application is defeated by the
absence of proper arrangements in the
schools. There is SO much that is
good and great in our educational system
in respect to the appliances of study and
the training of the youthful mind that 1t is
strange that the body should receive SO
little attention. Health is of the first i'm
portance to the student, and any method
of instruction which has tendency to in
jure it cannot be entirely sound. Intelli-
gent parents would do we'll to look into the
subject themselves, and the Boards of Edu-
cation and Health should join at once to exc
cute these reforms which it seems are so
urgently required

How the War Progresses.

desp atch from Moukhtar Pacha, giving
description of the battle which took place
on Wednesday near Ami, on the Armenian
frontier, does not claim victory for the
Turks. He says that both sides maintained
their positions, but that the Turkish right
gained an advantage over a Russian force
that threatened it during the action.
Notwithstanding this moderate announce
ment from the Turkish general in
its representatives abroad that Moukhtar
Pacha has gained an overwhelming victory.
BY comparing the conflicting reports that
reach us regarding this battle we arrive at
the conclusion that the Russians, having
drawn Moukhtar Pacha sufficient distance
flank him and cut him off from his fortified
base; that this blow was partially successful
and that Moukhtar's position is by no means
o safe one is pretty certain. It is clear that
the principal advance by the Russians was
made by their right wing for the purpose Of
throwing back the Turkish left and causing
Moukhtar Pacha's line to extend from east
to west, instead Of, as formerly, from north
to south. If Melikoff succeeds in forcing
the Turks to change front in this way he
will be in q position to throw himself
between them and Kars, and virtually force
The estimated Russian loss, according to
Moukhtar Pacha, is five thousand men; !;
but, strange to say, he does not know how
many Of his own troops are among the
killed, wounded and missing. Turkish
sympathizers will doubtless rejoice that the
report Of the death Of two Russian generals
during Wednesdays battle is unfounded.
Prince Nicholas, Of Montenegro, having
completely attained the object Of his cam
paign in Herzegovina desires to stop fight
ing for the present. But, curiously enough,
he asks the Gar, whom he practically de-
serts at critical moment, to secure for him
the territory he has conquered. This is not
likely to prove satisfactory at the imperial
headquarters especially as the Russians are
just now looking for new levies in Rou-
mania and are urging Servia to declare war.
If Prince Nicholas expects the favor Of the
Czar at the settlement that must follow q
declaration Of peace he certainly should
win it by maintaining harassing warfare
against the Turks while they are the Cars
enemies. A renewal of the bombardment
Of Rustchuk has resulted in the complete
ruin Of the town, but the Notifications re-
main intact. This destruction Of dwellings
means simply that the Russians are re-
solved not to allow the Turkish troops to
winter comfortably in Rustchuk AS an act
Of war the bombardment is perfectly justi-
fnhle.
