THE public schools of Washington are
so crowded that three thousand children,
whose parents or guardians are resident
there, cannot be provided for, although
$685. will be paid this year for addi-
tional school accommodations. The Dis
trict commissioners allow $4,000 less for
school purposes than was given last year,
and the school board complain that the
law whereby the general government
meets fifty per cent. of the expenditures
of the District gives the school no adj
vantage that they did not have before,
as they receive less money than during
previous years.

The introduction of the Englash
treatment of tramps into this country
would probably work a revolution in
the behavior of these rascals. In Eng
land they are usually captured by the
people in whose neighborhood they ap-
pear, and placed in stocks, or secured
in public place. All who pass see
them, so that they will know their faces
again, and frequently administer kicks
and other gentle reprimands. The Gull
prits are also pelted with dead cats, dogs,

A Swiss engineer, of Zurich, has in
vented a road locomotive by which he
can travel over ordinary roads. He has
arrived at Bale. 1t has an engine of
twenty-five horse power; it can tow a
train of vehicles, and it can converted
into steam engine capable of throwing
a stream of water to height of one
hundred and eighty feet. After short
delay at Bale, the inventor resumed his
journey to Paris amid the acclamations
of a crowd of enthusiastic spectators.

meet generally at church, bringing
with them all the jugs which have accu-

certainly do not attribute any such
thing to him, if they + the deep
seated and permanent thoughts of
those with whom he acts, then /
should be prepared to see a House of
Representatives, IN which there is a
Republican majority, exclude South

should be prepared to see them de-
eide themselves that the right of suf-
frage was pr!oHebited down there to
the negro, and then to see them IN
their supreme authority as they would
construe it, vote out the chosen rep
resentat;ves of the South not by ones,
nor by twos, but by the score. 1t is
q fortunate thing for this country, it
is a fortunate thing for free institu-
tons, that there is not in the present
House of Representatives a majority
thinking as the Senator from blaine
thinks, and willing to act as he is will
ing to act.
Mr.. President one word OH the
amendment / have offered. 1t is my
belief that there is a far greater dam
ger n amazing our institutions and the
right of suffrage than that to which
the Senator from Marine has alluded.
Sir, the most disheartening thing to
an American that looes free institu-
tons is to see that year by year the
corrupt use of money is making its
way until the time may come and that
within the observation of the oldest
man here when elections in the United
States will be as debauched as ever
they were in the worst days of Dor
ough parliamentary elections N the
mother land. That is the danger and
that danger let me tell my friend ex-
its far more in the North than the
South.
Mr.. President there is one thing
that made me doubt the propriety OF
this resolution, although as l have
said, l am going to vote for it, and
what the Senator from Maine has
said has added to the great doubt
which ! had entertained on that sub
iect and that is, that | am not quite
sure there are not persons who favor
this kind of resolution and as much
debate on it as can be had, in order
to direct public attention from the
re al questions which ought to engage
the Congress Of the United States
questions of economy-questions of
fnance-Questions Of government, all

may be made tending to excite the

THE TIMES.
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

NOW as christmas Is near every
body is preparing for it. Farmers
are loading their wagons with mate
rials for its celebration. City danes
are hunting up and storing away
pleasant surprises for their families,
and youth and maiden are selecting
appropriate memorial presents. This
is as il should lie. We would not
have it Otherwise. 1t is not in our
heart to deprive a boy Of his whistle,
or Il Girl Of her doll. There il music
in fire crackers, as well Us in drums,
and we would not diminish their sale.
1t is true the recent depression of
industry has been the greatest by far
which this generation has seen. Our
enfored economy has not been without
its blessing. 1t has taught the young
the nece ssity ofeXcrtion, and imp&it-
ed to all habits of self reliance. 1t
has given experiences TO beginners
which, if properly remembered and
improved, will conduct them to pros
peritv. All classes except chose I'M
fortunately deeply in debt and over
burdened by obligations, contracted
in more prosperous times, have been
greatly benefited. Even the eXpe-
riences Of this class corroiing and
hard to be borne as they urdoubted-
" are, are not without warnings TO
the rncautious, intimating to them as
plainly as possible, that eras of pros
perity are not profitable times TO i'll
=. cur debt.
Ia the ordinary progress Of human
experience 1t will not be long now be-
fore all the intricate problems that
perplex even the intelligent will be
solved. In the meanwhile the great
mass Of our fellow citizens have the
satisfaction of knowing that, though
they may not be realizing fortunes,
business and industry, agricultural as
well as mechanical, were never on q
firmer foundation or better able to
sustain themselves. Our fabrics and
products are seeking foreign markets,
and are thus demonstrating our abili-
ty to compete with the nations of the
world in their homes and at their fire.
sides. This is preferable to specHla-
ton, and will be more enduring than
chasing illusions that lure to disap-
pointment and lead to debt. There
is a diminution of embarrassment in
every direction. Even tramps are
disappearing. To dc them justice
many of them were seeking employ
ment. No sign a be more encour-
aging than that the percentage ofidle
men is smaller thar at any similar Pc
Rod since 1873. A country that is
exporting constantly--that has a bal.
ance of trade hard on to three hundred
millions a year in it's favor, cannot be
IN a very bad condition, and low phi
ces for everything, though they are
not desirable, put it into everybody's
power not only to supply ordinary
family necessities, but to afford also
occasional festivities.
Why then should We not have a
merry Christmas? Why should not
the young be INDUCED? The shelves
of our merchants are weighted with
presents. Prices were never lower.
A small sun will procure more en-
joyment for the children now than at
any former period. VIZ solicit par
ticular attention to the Christmas ad-
vertisements appearing IN this paper.
