heavy by the indisposition of the Queen to
relieve the country of any part of the load
by employing her large private fortune for
the benefit Of her children. And the
present case appears to be peculiarly exas-
perating. Her retirement from public life
since the death of the Prince Consors has
been so complete as to throw nearly all the
cost and responsibility of State pageantry
and ceremonial upon the Prince of Wales.
He has had to maintain the dignity and
splendor of regal court upon an income
quite inadequate to that position. And
though the resources OF the Queen have
been extremely large during the whole
of this period, and her expenditures
necessarily very moderate, she has evil
IDENTIFY been altogether disinclined to
spare the nation any part of the increased
outlay necessitated by her exaggerated
affliction. The popular impatience of
taxes which are levied for no better pur-
pose than to maintain in idleness and
Injury large family of young men and
women who never have done and never
will do anything in return, is a deepening
sentiment. The democratic spirit has long
since invaded England, and now every
time the enormous expense of maintaining
royal princes is brought to public atten-
ton by some fresh demand upon the Treas
ury in their behalf, the people ask one an.
other more seriously whether after all the
game is worth the candle. Some day, not
very distant, they will decide that it is
not, and then there will be change, and
not for the worse

A SIGNIFICANT urrERANcE.

1t is stated that the aurora, the organ
of the Vatican, published at Rome, has
printed an article favorable to the Irish
Land League, in which the following Ian
guage is used "In consequence of the
insupportable state of the Irish peasant
cry, the people must shake off their OPP.
"pressors. The crimes committed in Ire
Gland are not attributable to the Land
League. Radical reform is indispensable,
otherwise Ireland will be compelled to
"choose between anarchy and starvation.
The presumption of course is that this
article was inspired by the Vatican, and
viewed in that light, it acquires consider
able significance. The Church of Rome has
hitherto carefully abstained from approval
of the Land League. The Irish higher
clergy have in fact been for the most part
openly hostile to it, and some of the
Bishops have denounced it in their
pastorals. When Parnell visited this
country it was reported, apparently on
gnu autuOilIJ, tudt SdluIudl nuOOiOShy
had seriously offended the Vatican
by his warm welcome to and re-
cognition of the agitator. The Church,
indeed, has until now been rather
at variance with the movement than in ac-
cord with it, and therefore the present ex-
preston of the Papal official organ would
seem to indicate an important change of
policy on the part of the Vatican. The in
timation that the Irish peasantry "must
shake off their oppressors, can hardly
be otherwise interpreted than as an encour-
agement to insurrection. That certainly
would be new position for Rome to &C.
cupy, and it would mark the adoption, not
merely of new, but of very strange and
mysterious policy. Mr.. Gladstone may
perhaps think that he has deserved more
considerate treatment from Rome by his
disestabishment of the Irish Church. Per-
haps, however, the article in the aurora
is merely put forward as feeler, and if
not favorably received may be disclaimed.
Such things are done sometimes.

STUDIES IN THE SCHOOLS.

The City Superintendent Of Schools
cannot convince the majority in the Board
of Education that there are too many
studies in the Grammar School. Some of
the arguments relied on by these gentle
men in support Of their position that the
schools are all that can be desired, were
singular, to say the least. Thus it was
stated, as it were triumphantly, that so
many pupils of the public schools had
grown up and gone into active live without
being withheld by educational DEFICIENCIES
brated man, about female education.
There can be no doubt" he observed,
" that our girls are being badly educated /;
''but our boys will never find it out ;"
That a great deal of time is worse than
wasted in our school course at present
ought not to require to be said. The
course is in many respects extremely i'll
arranged, and degree of Importance is
given to several stndies which they by
no means deserve. We are disposed to
hold that almost all the time spent in the
study of grammaris wholly thrown away. A
great deal of timeis lost in arithmetic also, de.
spite the popular fallacy that this is one of
the vitality necessary studies. We think
it probable that the lessons in several of
the schools are too long, but this would
not matter so much if they were at all
worth learning in most cases. The Board
of Education seems disposed to uphold the
existing situation somewhat jealousy,
though why it should take this position
it is difficult to understand. Practical
education is very far from being attained
in our schools yet. and everything which
tends in this direction ought to be well
coined by intelligent educators. Certainly
nothing can be worse than the examining
system, and any schools which are made to
depend upon that are little better than
hollow shams.

CURIOUS INSTANCES OF NEGLIGENCE.

It is a curious illustration of the general
disposition to leave things undone when it
is not made the special business of some
one to do them, that no matter how I'M
portant an election may be there is always
some technical irregularity committed in
connection with it. 1t might be thought
that in the contest for the Presidency the
obvious Importance of making no mistakes
in the choice of Electors would insure COM
plete accuracy in that particular, but in
1876 it appeared, directly there was dis.
pute as to the result, that irregularities had
been committed in at least three cases. In
the late election it was known for months
beforehand that the struggle in the State
of New York would almost certainly de-
eide the contest. There was, therefore,
every conceivable incentive to vigilance
and accuracy on both sides. Each was
wrought up to the most extreme pitch
of anxiety and apprehension, and each
knew that the other would take advantage
of every mistake or omission. Yet in spite
of these extraordinary motives for caution
and supervision it appears that many ir-
regularities have been discovered, and that
in so important and clear matter as the
statutory provisions regarding the print
ing of the tickets, blunders were perpe-
trated. There never was an occasion when
technical errors of the kind could be less
excusable. Everything might have de-
pended upon almost any part of the State.
And yet, though there were managers in
abundance, and an elaborate campaigning
machinery, and profuse advice to be had,
and hundreds of active politicians fitting
about everywhere, these mistakes &C.
CURED. 1t is possible, no doubt, that
sometimes such things are not accidental,
but are the result OF deliberate treachery.
It is, however, generally more likely that
they spring from stupidity or carelessness,
which In their time have wrecked SO many
well planned adventures. So true is it
that eternal vigilance is the price, not alone
of liberty, but of complete success in al.
most everything.
