A BOOM WANTED IN KENTUCKY.

The Louisville Courier-Journal is earn
estly urging an Educational Boom for
the State of Kentucky. The old Com
monwealth needs nothing so badly just
now as grand awakening to the neces-
sity of good common and normal schools.
The present common school system is
said to be in very CLOUDY" condition.
1t ought not to be, and would not be,
if the authorities would learn anything
from the experience of other and more
progressive communities. Nearly a
million and half dollars are forever set
apart from the present State Constitution
as a fund for the support of the schools,
and the Legislature has i'm
posed tax of two mills upon the
dollar in value of the property Of the
State. Besides these resources a large
class of fines and forfeitures 60 to the in
crease of the fund. The direct tax
could be doubled or quadrupled without
becoming any serious burden upon the
people of the State. Kentucky is excep-
tionally free from debt and as conse-
quence taxation for general purposes is
at the minimum and any reasonable in
crease for school purposes would hardly
be appreciated.
But even this would be of but little
avail without the adoption of some ap-
proved and general system Of organiza-
ton, and some legislation that should en-
courage or compel the attendance of
children of a given age for a certain
period of the year.
In 1870 there were in the State 10000
white voters who could not read or write.
The Louisville Monthly Magazine is of
the opinion that this number has in
creased during the past nine years, as
not more than one-half of the children
of school age have been in school at all
during that period. The increase of
illiterate voters will therefore be found
large at the next census. In addition to
this formidable array Of white ignoram-
uses, the State Superintendent reports
some $4,000 colored voters who have no
way of receiving or communicating ideas
except by "word of mouth" In the
meantime the State Penitentiary is in a
thriving condition, and feuds and broils
and brutal affrays, and all the savagery
that is peculiar to dense ignorance and a
half-civilized condition, are witnessed al
together 100 often for the good name of
the State.
The very internal improvement Of the
State and the development Of its vast
mineral and manufacturing resources

THE INDEPENDENT AND THE PARTISAN
PRESS.

The fact seems to be dawning upon
the public mind more and more distinct
ly that if person desires to read the
current news of the day without bias or
distortion he must look for it only in the
independent newspaper where events are
recorded, divested of partisan coloring, ex-
actly as they occur, and not in journals
acknowledged to be political organs that
feel themselves in a measure forced by
the behests of party to twist or torture
current facts to suit the partisan ends
that they desire to have succeed. A
party paper may for the achievement of
its political ends desire that the bust
ness interests of the country shall
seem to be exceptionally prosperous, and
that these conditions shall actually be
made to seem in reality to exist, it ram
sacks its exchanges for such indications,
and instructs its correspondents to note
and send to it every favorable symptom
that can be tortured into an evidence
that business is good throughout the
State or Nation. A rise in iron, or wheat,
or pork, or cotton, is trumpeted and ex-
aggerated; the movements of specie, of
exports and imports, are falsifed; the
conditions of banks and exchanges are
bent to serve the partisan purposes, with
little attention to the actual facts, until
the reader who pins his faith to the jour
nal in question is completely led astray
as to the real truth of the pre-
tended facts he reads. The smaller
partisan papers, that receive their cue
from the leading city organ, echo the
misinformation until the country is actu-
ally misled with regard to business inter-
ests frequently of the very highest import
ance. Or on the other hand it suits
another party to decry the measure of
prosperity that exists, and the word is
quietly passed around among the organs,
big and little, that the distress that pre-
walls or can be made to seem to prevail,
shall be magnifed and exalted to the ut
most, and jeremiad over the sins of
omission and commission of officials in
charge of important National interests
is made so doleful that the unintelli-
gent reader is led to suppose the country
is drifting to the dogs in spite of the evil
dences to the contrary he may per-
ceive about him. In short, no act
of prominent public official of
either party can have exact justice
done by partisan papers on either side.
His opponents will exaggerate his errors
and impute evil intentions and results to
his most virtuous deeds. His political
friends will see only virtues in his con-
duct, whether judicious or otherwise.
Hence the more intelligent reader feels it
a relief to turn to the independent press
of the country for the news of the day
that he reads and inwardly digests, max
ing up his opinions from the events
themselves, and not from the falsified
statements that he gets from political Or
gans and partisan papers that are not Or
gans. This is why the independent pa
pers of the country are thriving, why
they increase in circulation, and why
their opinions, when they give them upon
current events, are respected.

ACCORDING to recent official report
made to the Russian Government, the
working people, and even the middle
classes of st. Petersburg are very poorly
provided with dwelling places. There
are seventeen thousand lodging-rooms in
the city, each of which furnishes home
for from four to six persons. Most of
these rooms are cellars, below the water
level, and as consequence damp and
unwholesome. There is a still lower
grade of ''homes" for the people, consist
ing of about nine thousand lodgings of
single rooms, each corner Of which is
allotted to different occupants, and
sometimes the room is divided into
six or eight portions for as many persons
or families. Husbands, wives and chill
dren are packed in like sardines in box
The sanitary and moral condition Of these
people can be inferred.
There are many thousand workingmen
who have no other lodging-place at night
than the floors of the factories and shops
in which they are employed during the
day. Tie suffering of these people dur.
ing the intense cold of the long winter
months must be terrible. The factory
towns of England or the slums of St
Giles, London, hardly furnish parallel
TO the condition of the METROPOLITAN La
boring class Of Russia.

The Holly system,

Messrs. Dewitt and Eckhoff, two very good men. are out in lengthy communi- cation in the Anzonan Of yesierday.ihe Sth, in defense of, and with q view of inducing the City Dads 10 adopt the Holly system of water works for Prescott. No one has said aught against this system or the gen tlemen who propose to give us so much for % little, but our people do not feel that they are prepared to shoulder sucha weight as the building of the Holly system of water works would burden them with. lf we are to issue bonds which are to go forth ns security for money with which the gi- gantic works arc to be built, then why not have the city own the property! If our city officials think for moment of adopt ing the Holly system, better let the tax payers vote Holly yes or Holly no, and the noes would have it five to one. As WIG have not the ready cash with which to build a costly water supply, lot us take that which we can reach, simply wells and force pumps. If VIC have not money wherewiih to dig wells, utilize the prisoners in the county jail in digging them. We are poor and not ready to be introduced to Mr. Holly.

Rev. C. II Adams, Superintendent of Methodist Missions for Arizona, preached In the Marina Street M F.. Church, yester- day. morning and evening, and. so far as we have heard an expression, gave very general satisfaction to those who heard him. Both sermons were good, but the discourse in the forenoon was especially entertaining and instructive, the theme being "A Busy Life, >" based upon the text, "Be diligent in business, serving the Lord"
 Mir. Adams goes next week to the south ern portion of the territory to set the ma chIne in motion in that region, after which, he will assume the pastorate of the church m Prescott. Thus far, the indications are, rhat MT. Adams will become very popular in Arizona as a munster and citizen, as he was in Colorado, where he labored twelve years.
