Tho state snperIntendent OF schools.

WHIT G. H., W. Va, March "a.
EdIton IntelllGenccr.
While so much sbeing said about who
shall DO President Of the United States
and the next Governor Of West Virginia,
there is one other little Office that should
be more closely looked after, than it has
been heretofore; and that is, the office OF
State Superintendent OF Free Schools.
We cannot help but believe that the large
majority Of the voting population OF West
Virginia is in favor Of the free school sys-
tenn. The chief Office Of this institution
is, therefore, am important one, and in
making selection TO fill this honorable
position, it ia not really essential that we
should inquire into the political character
Of the candidate, but should lay aside our
political-and we will add, too-religtous
prejudices, and elect man.
And the reason for this is obvious. 1t Is
not the design OF our common school
system, to bring up the youth of the State
under any particular party lash, neither is
it the design to school them in any par
ticulsr religious belief or doctrine; but
simply to make them men and women In
the true sense oil the term; we want their
morals cared for, tits true, and we do not
propose to release the respective officers
and teachers from this duty. The common
school system OF our State has surely ex-
perienced many hardships, and as a gen.
eral thing too many have heretofore
deemed it sufficient il the respective offices
were filled, and the schools established
and maintained, without due regard for
the material. But our people should now
realize that the end OF public instruction
is no longer merely to have schools, but to
have good schools which shall be sure to
awaken mind and cultivate sound princi-
ples-which shall be imbued with the
spirit alike OF progress and OF conservatism
which shall contain within themselves
the elements OF permanent improvement,
and be tho perennial sources OF healthy
and powerful influence to the youth OF
our young State.
The office OF State Superintendent is the
chief office OF our system OF public instruc.
ton; therefore We want man in that
office whose whole soul is in the work
not a man that simply looks after the dol.
lars and cents, or the honor OF the posi-
tion-not man that Is merely scholar
an educated machine-an aristocrat, or
college president--but a man who has the
interest OF our free schools so much at
heart, that under his administration they
may DO brought up to the proper standard
and the good results which they are des.
tined 10 bring forth be speedily reached.
But now the reader asks" Where is your
MANI" When l look back over the past
few years and see what interest has been
manifested in our common schools by the
various officials Of the respective counties
OF the State, and then take into considers
tion the spirit that prompted thisinterest,
l point with pride to Hon. Alexander
Wade, Of Monongalia. He is the children's
friend, and the best friend to the common
schools that can be found.
Let US lay aside all political feeling and
come to his support with the voice Of the
whole State. Ii. q. $.

Canuda's winter wheat.

New York Herald.
The reports on the condition OF the
winter wheat crop in Canada are not very
encouraging, and It is doubtful whether
the yield will be up to the average of pre-.
vious years. In several sections the crop,
according to the Canadian journals, has
been winter.killed, owing to the want oil
snow. As a rule this is true of the up.
lands, while the crop on the low, un.
drained soils has severely suffered from
the alternate freezing and thawing. Taken
as whole the crop Is uneven and exceed
ingly unequal in appearance. On this
side the border line, as We pointed out
few days ago, the crop in nearly all the
States and Territories Is in superb condi-
ton. A short or an average yield in Can
ada will, OF course, benefit our own farm.
ers; and, while we have no desire to see
our neighbOrs suffer, we cannot, at the
same time, close our eyes, in this age OF
keen competition, to the advantages
which abundant and bountiful hRrvests
will bring to US as q people.

DIscOuraging TO the Advocates OF
SANITARY Measures.

Foo Chow, one Of the original five
treaty ports Of China, is a city situated
upon theriver, about thirty-fye miles
from its mouth, and contains a popu-
%lation, within its walls and immediate
suburbs, estimated at one million or
more. 1t is built upon a low plain
through which the river takes its
course, the city proper being about
three miles from its banks, but con-
nected Herewith by a line of closely
settled suburbs. The plan is sur.
rounded by a slight range of noun
tains, the base of which is from three
to eight miles from the city.
NJ. NJ. DeLano, U. S. consul, in his
report to the national board of health,
dated October 18th last, says of this
city: Its drainage and that of the
suburbs connecting it with the river
is bad indeed, and little or no atten-
ton is paid by the authorities to its
sanitary condition; and to Europeans
and Americans it is a source of won
der that epidemic diseases are not al
most constant with the native popula-
tion. Stagnant pools are Of frequent
occurrence, and it is known that the
natives use the water from these pools
for tea and other culinary purposes
without ~iltering. The sewers under .
lying the streets ever full of the most
nauseous filth, send forth a stencil
that is almost sitting to foreigners.
The tenements, which literally cover
the whole surface ofthe city and are
packed with human occupants, also
furnish shelter for COWS, pigs and
fowls, and still it may be said tia. tho
people are generally healthy. \ = =
| have never known of a case Of yellow
fever here, nor plague, nor has typhus
fever ever been epidemic here as far
as | can learn"

CRIME.
The Case of the Murderer Of the Actor
Porter.

A special dispatch to the Cincin-
natl Commercial from Marshall, Tex,
says The Currie murder case was
called up for trial this morning, and
discontinued by the State on applica-
ton of District Attorney w. w.
Spivy. No state witnesses were tres-
ent. Maurice Barrymore, Miss Ellen
Cummings and Nat. Harvey, the only
living state witnesses known, are alb
sent. Barrymore's recognizance Of
one thousand dollars was declared
forfeited, and a fine entered against
him for five hundred dollars. The
people here feel indignant and out,
ragged at his conduct. Harvey is con-
demned in unmeasured terms for run
ming away. kilograms, as stated yes
terday, have been sent in all direc-
tons for his arrest.
A month ago the district attorney
wrote an earnest letter to Barrymore
to be certain to come, as his evidence
and that of Miss Cummings was in
dispensable. One special reason why
he was wanted was this: it is under
stood that the defence have a witness
who processes to have found a pistol
with Porter's name on it outside the
doorway where he fell when he was
killed. Barrymore is the only person
who could swear that Porter had no
pistol, and that the weapon to be in
troduced is not his. For some strange
reason Barrymore has forgotten his
dead friend and companion and what
was due to Justice.
The New York press come in for
their full share of denunciation by the
Texas press and people. The case lies
over until the Court in April. In the
meantime the defense sue out a writ
of habeas corpus in an application for
bail. With no witnesses for the prose-
c%ution, it viii be a hard matter TO pre-
vent Currie from getting it. The hope
now is that at tie next term of the
Court Barrymore and Miss Cummins
will be here, as Hsrvey's course will
destroy his testimony in the case if he
should then appear and testify. The
course pursued by Barrymore, and
Haryey's absconding, convey a sad
commentary on human nature. Up to
the time of Harvey's Ascending he
was considered an honest, worthy
man.

warrants. Why can we not dig from
our yard say a peck or two of clean
earth daily and dry this in a cooking
stove in an ordinary iron pan and use
as needed? OF course it entails some
extra labor, but no cost, and if We
have the choice between tons Of nox'
ious matter-underground, which car
only be removed with safety during
the winter months, and on the Other
hand a bushel or so Of filth above
ground, which can be taken away at
any time, how can there be any prefer
ence in favor of the former?
Is it not better a thousand fold to
be able to dispose of this refuse to free
your premises from death dealing
efiuvia and secure your cisterns
against vile i~nflterations? Yet, say
many, it can not be done. l say it
can. Large cities have used and are
using earth boxes to-day. 1t follows
of course that an efficient system Of
carriage should be put in operation,
to remove the contents of the boxes
promptly. Let the city authorities do
SO if able; if not, private parties will
soon make it a profitable business to
engage in. Furthermore, it is evident
that such a system demands great
care on the part of each household,
and strict supervision is necessary on
the part of the authorities. Let us
all cheerfully bear this extra expense
and labor, for it is high time that
Memphis should abolish village ways;
hat we should do our utmost to show
to the world at large that Memphis is
no longer synonymous with filth. If
we do err, let it be on the safe side,
and whatever the future has in store
for us, let us be able to say, "We have
done our best"
