II anything were needed to bring walking
matches and that whole line Of entertainments
Into contempt with all classes OF people-de-
cent sportsmen as well as churchmen,-it
would be furnished by the action proposed to
be brought by or on behalf OF the pedestrian
Hart against Weston, Ennis and Krohne, his
brother contestants in the late walking match
for that portion Of It's proceeds which they re-
ceived, on the ground that owing to an tncor-
rect measurement Of the track they really had
not accomplished the distance with which they
were credited when the division OF money was
made. II that fact were established beyond
doubt, there would perhaps be technical
cause for complaint or action, but still none
based on equity or good faith between man and
man. II the track was fraction short, these
three men were not responsible for the error
nor cognkant of it, and nobody pretend5 that
they could not easily have made the REQUIRED
distance If they had any reason to suppose they
had not already covered 1t. There is common
ly supposed to be somewhere sort Of unwrIt-
ten but generally recognized code Of honor"
among thieves, gamblers and sporting men,
which secures substantial justice In transac-
lions between themselves, quite outside OF le-
gal enactments 1t would seem, however, from
the talk OF such an action that It is not consId-
cred to be uniformly binding, even by those
who pretend to be governed by 1t.

Political parties condemn the system OF as
sessing candidates and oftice-holders for cam
paign purposes only when 1t Is applied by their
opponents. In Washington, where the money
thus derived all goes to the republicans, it Is
the democrats who denounce the custom; but
In Philadelphia the situation is reversed.
There the democratic party imposes double
assessment upon those who hold Office and
those who hope to, and the republicans are
pointing this out as an evidence Of political de-
prayity. IN that city the democratic party Is
divided Into two factions, and each has its cam
paign committee, which imposes its assess
mentS and enforces collection.

stuffing and Starving.

We read IL enc OF the New York papers that
the Schools In the up town wards Of that city
arg so crowded that 1000 pupils have been
refused adrnittaDce. The same state Of facts
exists In greater or less degree In nearly every
city and large town In the country. Indeed,
the circumstance has become 30 common that
1t no longer attracts much notice; and yet there
Is nothing that just now more needs attention
and reform. What would be thought OF the
head of large household who would regularly
seat the strong and already we'll fed members
Of his family to luxur1antly spread eight or
ten course dinner, while he persistently kept
the weak and hungry portion OF 1t entirely
away from the table? Yet that is precisely
what is being done five days In the week by
large majority of the educational authorities In
the United States
What this country needs nearly If not quite
as much as good crops and prosperous times, is
change In It's public school system, which will
at once and forever do away with the large,
SNOWY, expensive and dangerous buildings, now
SO common, with their high and fancy courses
OF study, and substitute for them plenty OF
small safe, well-lighted and well-ventilated
school houses, where the rudiments of an edu-
cation which Will fit 4 for the ordinary pursuits
OF life can be given to every child In the land.
That is the true aim and end Of public school
system properly understood and wisely and
faithfully administered. When 1t has given an
elementary instruction to every boy and girl
In the country. and not till then, has it fulfilled
Its sion. TO this much every child has
right. The State has discharged its full duty
when, and not until. 1t has given this much. If
any parent wants more than this for his chill
dreD let him send them, at his own expense, to
one of the excellent private schools or colleges
Astounding everywhere. He has no farther
claim on the public treasury in that direction;
and under no circumstances or preteXt should
he receive gratuity from it until the just
claims of his poor and ignorant neighb1r5 are
first satisfied

How sweet the note to the man of toll,
to the weary-hearted and sorrow-
stricken! The little bubbles that have
agitated during the week cease to an
noy, the emotions of envy, pride, jeal
ousy and malignity yield to the sooth-
ing influences of the hour, for the night
of rest has come that has its morrow of
quiet and peace. The weekly plans of
the honest, industrious man have all
been consummated, the little grains in
trade garnered, the trials, doubts and
fears Of life set aside, and now at peace
with conscience and all the world, re-
clining on his couch, no king in purple
is half so happy under the soothing in
fuences Of sleep.
Saturday night! standing on the brink
of what will shortly be portion OF
Eternity, let us ask the solemn question,
will the white light of the Great Morn
ing dawn upon us ere another week
circled by ten. thousand mercies shall
close its record OF life-trial and duty?
Thousands of cofin-lids have smothered
down the hopes of happy households
thousands OF misery's children have
| pined in want and woe, and thousands
have eroaned away life on couches of
pain, whilst every moment of the new
fed week has heaped upon US mercies
that no intelligence can number.

Chandler on the Emergency.

Among the anecdotes of lack Chan
dler the Milwaukee Sentinei tells the fol-
lowing: Senator Chandler was for forty
years politician, and gained national
prominence by his remarkable energy in
war times urging the prosecution of the
war. Lacking cultivation and book edu-
cation, he was possessed of unusual good
sense, which was Mt times of immense
value to the government. Senator Car
penter tells this of him: When the Ala
bama claims were under discussion by
the high joints" England submitted a
proposition that was very severe. In
response to a cable dispatch, the Eng
ish members of the "high joint were
told to withdraw entirely if the PROPOSE
ton was rejected. In great distress
Secretary Fish sent for Senator Chan
dler. The point was explained to him by
Fish in the presence of Grant and the
whole Cabinet, and Chandler was asked,
"t hat shall we dof' Old Zach replied,
"Tell 'em TO go to hell-put it in diplo-
matte language, of course That is Just
what was done, and it answered the pur.
pose entirely.

The unexpended balance of appropriations
which stood to the credit of the department at
the close Of the last fiscal year was 81 ,41s,-
2s5.37, which, added to the appropriation,
makes an aggregate Of ofappropriations available
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1880, of

The table of estimates submitted of expenses
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1881, ag-
gregate s14.s64, ,1477, showing an excess over
the appropriations Of the previous year of
1851 ,S99. This excess is accounted for by the
fact that the estimate for the pay of the navy
was reduced $lO6,725 in the appropriations,
and that 800, 900 will be required to set on foot
the system of training boys for the navy, and
by other expenses in various bureaus, which
are mentioned in detail. For the first time,
probably, in the history of the government the
expenses of the past year were less than the
amount of the appropriation.
