Built OF brick and brown stone. II will be fire
near perfect ~ modern science can make II. II
will have a huge winning bath Tor the use OF
the pupils The school will not be n charity

we're employed in the building Of
new men of-war, and from this sum
sixty to seventy of war might
have been furnished; but the great
part of the money foundis is way into
the pockets of greedy favorites of
the Secretary. In the purchase of
materials and new engines the high
est var prices were paid; in the sale
of superfuous articles, prices redieu-
ously low were taken. One man
bought from the Navy Department
the ship Delaware for 1925, and
made by turning his hand over, out
of the same ship, $4,000. So from
one year to another the business was
carried on until nearly $200,000,0 900,
and a navy also had been lost.
A number of laws of Congress, en-
acted to govern the business of the
Navy Department, ere violated in
a fragrant manner. Corruption and
illegality went hand in hand without
punishment.
A party which tolerates such
things and endeavors to cover them
up when they lie clearly before the
eyes of every man, cannot endure
Such a party is all the more danger
Gus in proportion to the number o.
intelligent members in ranks.

What good has it done?

The bill to punish teachers for tax
ing improper liberties with pupils
has passed the house at Columbus.
The bill provides as follows: "That
any person in a Sabbath or other re-
ligious school, or a school of music,
art or any other branch of learning,
who, during his term of Office, or I'm
ployment, in the presence of a female
pupil or female teacher, uses any OBJ
scene or vulgar language, or takes,
or uses, or attempts to take any i'm
proper liberty or familiarity with the
person of such female pupil or female
teacher, shall be imprisoned in the
county Jail not more than one year
nor less than six months; but upon
the trial of a person accused of such
offense, the evidence Of such female
must be corroborated to the extent
required as to a principal witness ir
the case of perjury"

robson AND HIS N

The veil which covered Robeson's
administration has long since been
removed. He was for eight years
Secretary of the Navy, and in this
period expended money to the extent
of $1S2,496,0 33. At the same time
he sold material to the amount of
500, 0O0,0 00. This makes together
in round numbers 1882, 100000 or
more than $35, 000 900 a year. When
Secretary Thompson entered the Of
fee its inventory stood as follows:
4 debt, justified by no law whatever,
amounting to $7,OS3, SOP: b. 48 per-
manently useless, ships, carrying
ga guns; C. Two inferior, sailing
ships, with s guns; d. q temporari-
ly useless ships, carrying 200 gun;
e. 43 useful ships, with 225 guns.
Out Of III ships, there were 43, and
out Of 1,057 guns, only 225 that
could be used. These figures are by
90 means invented. They rest upon
facts which Mr.. Thompson himself
a Republican, has confirmed. Thus
in the eight years Of Robeson's ad-
ministration the money of the peo-
pie was squandered in the basest
manner.
During this time an army of off
Gals and contractors were fattening
in the Navy Department upon tie
sweat of the people. Materials for
shipbuilding which according to the
testimony of experts, would have
brought to any business man 500
000, 0 were disposed of for less
than $4,000, 000. Over $50, 900, 900,

A correspondent of the Washing
ton Capital has this to say of John
Sherman as a candidate for Presi-
dent:
If you have any doubt or question
as to the prospect of John Sherman's
nomination for President by the Re-
publican party, it may relieve that
uncertainty, possibly, when l tell
you that one of the best informed
leaders of the party in Ohio says
there is no probability Of that nomi-
nation. He says the leaders of the
party won't allow it. Ohio has the
president, the Chief Justice, an as.
s%ociate justice, minister to France,
and a large number of the best Off
ces. These facts, he says, will settle
Sherman's Presidential aspirations,
without reference to q great number
of equally strong objections. He
says Sherman's present popularity,
as shown in the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, is confined to Murat Halstead,
who runs that journal On his own ca.
price. And finally, he says the
French proverb fits Sherman's case
exactly, viz: There are certain men
whose fame is like that of a popular
ballad, which is sung for q certain
time and then forgotten. In less
than three months, he predicts, we
shall hear the last of Sherman as a
probable nominee, even in Halstead's
paper.

THE NEW quail LAW.

The Ohio Legislature has passed
q bill which is now a law prohibiting
the killing of quail for nearly two
years. The following is the text OF
the act which is clear and explicit:
An act to prevent the killing Or in.
juring of quail, or Virginia part
ridge, prairie chickens.
Sec. l. Be it enacted by the Cen
eral Assembly of the State Of Ohio,
That whoever in any place, catches,
kills or Injuries, or pursues with such
intent, any quail, or Virginia part
ridge: or prairie chicken before the
18th day Of November, one thousand
eight hundred and eighty, or dis
turbs or destroys tie eggs of any
such birds, shall be fined not more
than thirty nor less than three dol
lars, or be imprisoned not more than
thirty days, or both.
SEC. 2. This act shall take effect
and be in force from and after its
passage.

The forty-fifth Congress expired
on the 4th of March at noon, and adj
journed without passing the appro-
priation bills, and Mr.. HAYES imme-
diately issued his proclamation, call
ING an extra session on the 18th
of March. The responsibility of the
extra session rests entirely with the
Republican party. The Democrats
righteously demanded the repeal of
the election laws that permit the use
of troops at the polling places. They
insisted on the abolition of what
are known as supervisors of election
hirelings employed by national au-
thority at S. per day to stand about
the polls and work for Republican
candidates-and these demands were
incorporated in the appropriation
bills named. Although ~deprecating
an extra session, the Democrats
could not honorably recede from
their position in these affairs. The
question involved was whether the
present Administration through Fed,
eral interference and the use of the
military was to be empowered TO
name its successor, or otherwise, and
the Democrats wisely determined to
fight it out upon that line, and brave
" done so. The Senate refused to
agree with these clauses in the bills,
and the House refused to recede
from them. The result was a fail
ure in the passage of the bills. The
course pursued by the House was
right, and Republicans took the re-
sponsibility of causing an extra ses-
sion, rather than agree to measures
that have twice been repudiated by
a majority of the voters in this coun-
try,

The Philadelphia Times has in
vestigated the question of Sunday
church attendance in Philadelphia,
detailing reporters to count the men,
women and children who either
throng or emphasize the loneliness
Of some of the temples. In twenty
nine churches on O. given day and
service, the attendance was 32,338,
of which number 1854 we're men,
14,435 women, and 6,639 children.
Of the $4,000 attending twenty nine
churches, 21,7OO are credited to four
Catholic churches. Of the Protes-
tant denominations there is not much
difference in attendance, although
the Methodist churches slightly lead
the Others. The statictics are inter-
esting. and will doubtless create
some stir in ecclesiastical circles.

of the National Banks as well as to

are in accord with the Greenbackers.

character, we do not see what should

Republican papers seek to make a
little cheap political capital out of
the Orphans Home fire, laying the
blame to Democratic carelesscess,
because the institution is under Dem
ocrat management. The Central
Ohio Lunatic Asylum at Columbus,
the Northern Ohio Lunatic Asylum
at Newburgh, near Cleveland, the
main building of the Girls Indus
trial Home at Delaware, all burned
while these institutions were under
Republican management, and no
Democrat was mean enough to couple

1t is estimated that the govern
ment will make a profit of not less
than $4,000, 900 on its issues of
fractional paper currency. In Feb
ruary 1878, when the issue of frac-
tional paper was stopped, and silver
coin substituted, there was $45, 000,,
900 of it outstanding. Since then
$29, O00, 900 have been redeemed
leaving $4,000, 900 still outstanding
on the 18th Of February, 1879, Of
which amount about $4,000, 900 is in
3 cent and scent notes. 1t is esti.
mated that only 81, 600, 900 of the
amount outstanding will be ultimat.
ely redeemed, and that the remain
ing $12,000,000 have been lost or de.
stroyed and will therefore never be
presented for redemption. Since the
issue of fractional paper was stopped
its redemption has steadily decreas
ed, and now only small sums are
presented at the Treasury for ex.
change in silver. The loss, whatev.
er it is, has been of course borne by
the people.
