and although Hurley ~ several ises from
him. made . plunge. and With . knife
which he had open in his hand. struck
Hurley, cutting . deep cash on the lover

Senator Bayard Unavailable.


Senator Bayard is one of the ablest and
purcst of our public men. The Presidency
could scarcely add to his well earned fame,
though the country would honor itself by
placing him in its highest executive posi-
ton. He cannot be tho President, how
ever, in the present temper Of the times.
The country has not yet sufficiently reeov-
cred from the decentralization of the war.
The northern mind is still dominated by
the frenzy of sectional hate. But he is
yet comparatively young in years and can
bide his time. A democratic Rdministra-
ton must first intervene and cure the dis
temper in the northern brain, before any
gentleman occupying the geographical po-
sition which Dir. Bayard does, can be
chosen to the Presidency The affection
of the South FOR the Delaware Senator, is
sufficient of itself TO array . solid North
against him. His selection, therefore, would
be in jeopardy from the beginning, unless
we have greatly oyerrated the strength Of
northern sentiment. The ticket for 1880
must come out of the North and the West,
if the Democrats would possess themselves
Of the Executive Office. Who shall COM
pose that ticket remains for future and
careful consideration. We cannot afford
to make a mistake 10 the selection of our
standard bearers.

The Democratic Boom.

Hartford. Connecticut, went Democratic
at the town election on Tuesday last, for
the first time 10 three years, sleOting all
the officers by majoritics ranging from five
to eight hundred.
The election in Louisiana on the same
day went Democratic, and shows heavy
Democratic gains in eleven parishes Of
1900 compared with 1876, when the
same parishes gaze Hayes 1900 majority.
Reaction has set 10 and Democratic pros.
poets grow brighter every day.
Later returns says Louisiana has rolled
up Democratic majority Of about 20, 600.
The new Constitution has been adopted by
large majority.

The School Commissioners, at their an
nual meeting ia Baltimore, last week, re-
solved to let well enough alone, and not to
agitale change Of the school Law, at tho
ensuing session of the Legislature, lest a
general revision might result 10 law less
acceptable to the friends Of education than
the present one. II was understood, how
ever, to be desirable that the law should
be so modified as to provide for one trus-
tee for each school instead Of three and
that the book fee should be abolished, thus
making the schools entirely free The
idea of making the School Commissioners
elective, was very wisely treated adversely
10 their report. Party politics should
have nothing to dowith our public schools
any School Commissioner found pros
tituting his Office to party purposes should
at once be removed. Elective School
Commissioners would, in our opinion, be
preiudicial to the schools, aud would be
step backward Instead of forward, in the
march Of education.

matters with England on the fishery ques-
ton; with Spain on incidents connected
with the Cuban insurrection; with the
Netherlands on extraditien; with Switzer-
land in regard TO pauper aud convict emil
grants; with the German Empire on nat
uralization and expatriatiOn. Some d.
plomatic vacancies are spoken of in this
connection, but experience has demonstra-
ted that We get along about as well with
them vacant as when they are filed, and
We do not think the country would suffer

affairs abolished, whereas considerable

Tho border raids on the Rio Grande,
and the various petty wars throughout the
world are next alluded to, but nothing of
importance is given beyond what was al
ready known, and then follows some recon-
mendations concerning the government of
our northwestern waste, Alaska. The bal
ance Of the message is occupied with the
army and navy, public lands, Indians,
washingtonls monument, and the affairs
of the District of Columbia. On all these
subjects nothing new is stated, nor any
valuable suggestions made.
The message, as whole, is a pointless
document, and seems to have been written
merely to ful6ll constitutional require
meni. The only matters in it worthy of
consideration are the civil service reform
recommendations, but these, as above sta
ted, are but professions which will never
find practical illustration with Radical
administration. Substantially the same
theories we're advanced in his first mes
sage, reiterated in his second and now

The boring Of the great aqueduct tunnel OF
the Gunpowder permanent water supply for
Baltimore, which is TO connect Loeb Raven
with Lake Monticello, has been finished at a
cost OF Sl,500,000. The tunnel is perfectly
straight, 30, 900 feet long, or few feet less
than seven miles, and is twelve feet in diam

is the largest aqueduct tunnel aud the third
largest tunnel in the world, was begun in April,

construction three years and eight months
