THE mail train on the New Jersey
Midland Railroad was wrecked by a
broken rail near Odgensburg, N. j.,
Thursday of last week. The combined
mail and smoking car passenger coach
went down an embankment, and instant
ly took fire. The mail was burned, but
the passengers all escaped alive, though
most of them were injured.
THE so-called Independent Republic
ans" alias boilers, of the Pennsylvania
Legislature discover that Senator
Cameron suggested Congressman
Mitchell for Senator. They have
been working for nearly two months
"tO beat Cameron and refused
to elect Two good men because Cameron
wanted them elected. After all this fuss
and fury, to have stepped into the Cam
eron trap makes these patriotic and
broad-gague statesmen very unhappy.

1T is confidently asserted that, what
ever may be the result as to the entire
organization of the Senate, George c.
GOrham, who so long held this Office un-
der Republican rule, is almost certain
to be the Secretary. He will certainly
receive the vote of Senator Malone, who
is his personal friend. This seals the
fate of Birch, the present Secretary.

The Millions VINO Do Not Go t0
Church.

We have already presented statistics
to show that fully half Q million Of the
reputation Of New York of an age to
attend church are regularly absent from
our churches on Sunday.
This great number Is not chiefly made
up of the vile and degraded, the vicious
and the dissolute. of those who make no
pretsnce of obedience to moral and re-
ligious principle. The greater part Of
these people who keep away from the
churches and refuse TO listen to sermons
of the preachers OH Sunday are among
the reputable, law-abiding. intelligent,
industrious and sincere inhabitants OF
the city. II any one should take .
census to-day Of the congregations In
the churches and of those who remain
away from them. for virtue and all the
more estimable qualities Of human ma
ture, would not the absent majority
compare favorably with the minority
present in the temples Of worship?
The Rev. DIR. Bellows answers yes tn
this question. And he hes taken pains
to proclaim the fact. He goes further
aud asks whether the signs do not show
that churchgoing is % steadily declin.

It has just come to light that . syndi-
cate exists In Philadelphia for the pur-
pose Of buying up all the opium 10 the
country, and speculating In it. Opium
was selling at $3.50 pound, but the
spectators forced 1t up to 81 q pound.
1t has since declined to about Sc, at
which it Is now selling. It IL under
stood that the stock In the hands OF
the syndicate amounts to six hundred
cases of opium, of two hundred pounds
each, the whole being valued ats: 500, :
600. The stock outside of this in the
hands of legitimate dealers Is very
small. and as the consumption In the
United States is from thirty to fifty
cases per week it is feared the price
may be forced still higher. particularly
as the new crop will not arrive for six
months yet.

The Boston Fish Bureau's report

larger vessels engaged in the New En-
gland cod fishery, crews, and quantity
of fish caught during the year. The
Massachusetts feet numbers 376, New
Hampshire IA, and Maine, 1S9; total for
New England, $40 vessels. with 6,O6S
men. The total catch Of fish by these
vessels foots up 649, ,426 quintals. It is
estimated that the small fishihg bpats
on the coast caught about 3O0, 900 quin-
tails of fish in addition tn the above, SO
that the entire New England catch
may be put down at about 1000, 900

Our school system.

Our Legislature mas given 0evefol
emphatic proofs Of its unwillingness to
even entertain propositions for impair
Ing our State educational system. The
House voted down q bill to abandon
the three Normal Schools to the coun-
ties in which they are located, and 1t
resisted successfully amendments to re-
duce the appropriations to the State
University, the Normal Schools, the
School of Mines and Lincoln Institute.
In this it did we'll, and 1t Is to be hoped
that both Houses will stubbornly re-
fuse to take any step that looks to Q re-
consideration of our school system, for
the purpose OF degrading 1t or impair
ing lis efficiency.
This is no time to go into the sub
ject. Our school system IL part. and
an important part, Of the public order
in the State. We are continually
boasting Of it; the messages Of our
Governors and the reports Of our Su-
peri.tendents Of Instruction and other
State officers. refer to it with pride; tho
press of the State again and again re-
produces the facts and figures illustrat-
ing it's growth and development in
proof of the progress our people are
making in the civilization and enlight-
enment that bring prosperity and pow
er our people themselves rejoice in the
steady improvements asd enlargement
of their school system. and the outside
world accepts these things as tokens
that Missouri, il not already, IL fast be-
coming the abode Of an intelligent and
educatei people, and the seat Of a geii-
tie civilization. Certainly, it Is not ad-
vlsable tn tamper with an establish
ment that presents 30 many indica-
tions of general approval. and 90 many
admitted claims to public commenda-
ton. Our biennial appropriation to
the six upper institutions OF learning,
though liberal, are in no sense extrav-
agant, and It cannot he said the State
IL too poor to afford them. Even with
our present moderate tax rate, the
State revenues are greater than we re-
quire, aud are certain TO steadily in
crease with our increase In wealth and
population. Our A uditors' reports show
no deficits, and are not hurdened with
any incumbruncs that drains the Treas
ury; there 10 no official Profligacy to
squander the peoples money. Our pub
lie finances are in a healthy condition
and the State shares in the general PROF.
perity and thrift Of its citizens. We
can we'll afford to be carefully liberal to-
wards the six institutions that stand at
the head Of our school system, as long
as this prosperity continues ut least,
and for this reason it Is tn be hoped that
the present Legislature will receive
with disfa vor all propositions to degrade
the system that may he presented
