Kind ergarten.

We cannot too warmly commend,
as an Important part of the foundation
of moral as well as technical educa-
tion, the kindergarten system of in
struction. While the child is weav-
ing colored straws, darning bright
hued crewels upon net, or building
with blocks, it is acquiring conscien-
tious and thorough methods of appli-
cation as well as learning geometry
and becoming habituated to mathe-
matical demonstrations, it Is learning
to reason correctly, and getting its
mind so balanced that specious false
hoods will not be apt to throw it out
of gear. 1t does nothing, says moth
ing, In the monkey-parrot style, but
understa nds the reason and meaning
of whatever 1t executes or repeats.
The child grows out of the animal In
to the intellectual place more quickly,
more normally, than under many
other systems of teaching. 1t is not
taught; so much as 1t learns is devel-
Oped. The understanding is cultiva-
ted from the first hour that it enters
the kindergarten. Whether in in
door lessons, or turning up the earth
and planting seed in the garden, in
its very first lessons, it is taught some
thing of the scientific basis of the
rules, which in after life, 1t applies
to mechanics, or of the great laws by
which nature works out her problems
of life and being. 1t ia in these res
poets that our present public school
system fails. Our boys and girls
graduate with no preparation, beyond
that which a knowledge of arithme-
tic gives for any trade. If the youth
is to pursue merchandise, he or she
must attend a commercial college, if a
trade, they must spend months out of
the short time they can usually af-
ford between leaving school and self
support in mastering rudiuents which
under Kindergarten development they
would have absorbed before they were
10 years Ofage. Or else they must go
into bread-winning without any prop
er equipment, and be jostled and sent
continually to the wall for Tho wa !
of fsbility to do come one remunerati ,e |
thing in a thoroughly skilled man
ner. On leaving the kindergarten,
the child has all the elements OF q |

Congressman Smalls, of South Ca
rolina, who has just arrived, tells the
story Of the Democratic method of
counting the votes ofthe recent elec-
tion in that State, which would be
funny were it not so Illustrative of a
terrible system ofthings in the South.
He says that in one town in bis coun-
ty S22 votes were cast, according to
the poll lists, but when the box was
opened il was found to centain 822
ordinary ballots, and 900 of the tis-
sue paper or kiss" ballots. Of regu-
lar ballots $50 were for him, and 1872
for bis opponent. Under the election
law of South Carolina, when the bal
lots in the box are in excess of the
number of names on the poll lists.
somebody is blindfolded and takes out
enough to make the lists and the bal
lots correspond. In this instance a
Democratic judge was blindfolded
and took out all the large ballots. and
17S of the tissue-paper ballots, leaving
822 of the latter in the box. OF course.
they were all Democratic, and the re-
suit of the count was announced to
the effect that Smalls had received no
votes, and his Democratic opponent
was the unanimous choice of the
town. The colored, men who voted
for Smalls were amazed at the result
and wondered where their ballots had
gone. But it was stated in the De-
mocratic papers as a remarkable phe-
uomenon that all the colOred pso-
pie in that town had voted the Demo-
cratic ticket. Congressman Smalls
said this is only one instance of hun
dreds of the same character, and Is
the foundation of the statements that
negroes have joined the Democratic
party. He says that he can get affi-
davits from $50 men in that town to
the effect that their votes were cast
for him, but does not see what he
could accomplish by it. When asked
If he intended 10 contest the seat of
his opponent. he replied that he
would do 80 if he thought there
would be any chance for colored men
to obtain justice from the next House,
but he was poor. and could not afford
to spend either time or money that a
contest would involve. His right to a
seat in the present Congress was con-
tested, and it had cost him almost all |
his salary to pay lawyers and get evil |
dence in defence. He said Northern |
people were urging him to make the |
fight and bring out all the evidence of
Dem ocratio frauds in his district for
the effect it would have on the coun-
try, and he was willing to do this if
some one would pay the expense,
which be could not do.

deprived of the advantage thus gain
ed, and whether be turns his atten-
ton to science, art, or mechanics, he
starts far ahead of one subjected to any
other sort of training. It is not a

SOUTH CAROLINA.
Local VS.. Federal Authorities.

Reports recently received at the De.
partment of Justice, from officers en-.
gagged in the prosecution of the pOliti.
cal offenders in the Southern States.
particularly South Carolina, corrobo-
rate the newspaper dispatches in
showing the difficulties thrown in the
way of Federal officials by the local
authorities. And it appears very
probable that there will be a revival
of the contest between the local and
Federal authorities, which at one time
grew serious last spring during the
prosecution of Illicit distillers. When
the United States Commissioner ap-
pears in town to obtain evidences of
the violation of the United States
election laws, the State authorities
arrest all his witnesses on charge of
perjury or other offenses, and throw
them into prison, thus taking them,
as they claim, out of the Jurisdiction
of the Com missioner. In some cases
the Federal officers themselves have
been arrested for conspiring against
the State government and other char
ges, and in many cases their lives
have been threatened,
The Attorney General will call the
attention of the Cabinet to this mat
ter, and some unusual measures will
be taken tC protect United States off,
eials in the discharge of their duty.
1t is difficult to see what can be done
to remedy 1t, unless the President can
induce Governor Hampton to prohib-
it his su bordinstes from interfering.
The famous pledge which Cover.
nor Hampton made to President
Hayes before the troops were remov-
ed from the State House in South Ca
rolins. was dated WilIiard's Hotel.

EDISON'S COURTSHIP.
How the Great Inventor Made Love
and Married.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
The story of Edison's courtship,
while it lacks the roseate tinge of ro-
nance, illustrates the mans faculty
of going to the heart of things with
the smallest possible amount of cir
cumlocution. When he was expert
menting, some years ago, with the
Little automatic telegraph system, he
perfected contrivance for producing
perforations in paper by means of a
keyboard. Among the young women
whom he employed to manipulate
these machines, with a view to test
ing their capacity for speed, was a
rather demure young person who at
tended to her work and never raised
her eyes to the incipient genius. One
day Edison stood observing her as
she drove down one key after another
with her plump fingers, until. grow
ing nervous under his prolonged stare,
she dropped her hands idly in her
lap and looked up helplessly into his
face. A genial smile, such as irreve-
rent paragraphists have referred to as
"the Edison grim" Overspread Edi-
sons face, and he presently inquired
rather abruptly:
"What do you think of me, little
girl? Do you like me?"
"Why, Mr.. Edison, you frighten
ne. I-that isl"
Don't be in hurry about telling
me. 1t doesn't matter much, unless
you would like to marry me-"
The young woman was disposed to
laugh, but Edison went on:
"Oh, 1 M can it. Don't be In rush,
though. Think it over, talk to your
mother about it, and let me know
soon as convenient-Tuesday, say.
How will Tuesday suit you; next
week Tuesday, / mean? 2"
Edison's shop was at Newark in
those days, and one night friend of
his, employed in the main office of
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany in New York, returning home
by the last train, saw light in Edi-
sons private laboratory. and climbed
the dingy stairs to find his friend in
one of his characteristic stupors, half
awake and half-dozing, over some in
tricate point in electrical science
which was battling him. n
Hello, Toni" cried the v$itor,
cheerily, "what are you doing ere
This late? Aren't you going home ?''it
"What time is it?" inquired Edi-
son, sleepily rubbing his eyes and |
stretching like a lion suddenly |
aroused.
Midnight, easy enough. Come
along"

Dreamy sort of way. by George, l
must go home. than. 1 was married
.o-day."
Marriage was an old story with him |
he had been welded to electrical
hobbies for years. But. in spiteof his
seeming indifference on the most
sventful day" in his life, he makes a
good husband, and the demue little
woman of the perforating machine |
rules domestic destinies at |
IenlO Park, and proudly looks across
be fields where the chimneys rise
md her husband still works on the |
problems that made him a truant on
lis wedding day. A swarm of chill
lren pluck her gown to share their
nother's smile, and lay in wait to
limb into their fathers lap and muss
his hair with as great a relish as if he
