THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Maj. Daniel declares himself . friend Of the
public schools, and be will not make le an I'M
true statement. It has been bis misfortune,
however, TO be allied with q party that has
done everything to crush out the system, and
he has consistently voted with that party. It
may be that he loves them not wisely but too
well. 0thello worshipped Desdemona, and
yet for his "honor's" sake smothered her,
Maj. DIS may be case Of comparative love
not that he loves the schools leas but the eeu.
ppm more. To the ReadjusteF party is due
the credit Of adding 1900 to the number Of
schools in operation. Auditor Massey, upon
taking charge Of the department, found moth

Col. Cameron was tremendous fander before
the Bill was passed, and eloquently urged its
adoption. A majority of the party to which

woman,s work I'm the Church.

In no department of life perhaps is the
work of woman so effective and impoY-
tant as in that of the Church. This Ia
true Of all denominations. The deyo-
ton, the earnestness and the piety of
the female members of the Roman
Catholic faith have for hundreds of
years been the wonder and the adml.
ration of the world. Its monastic or
ders, charitable and educational, are
among lis most effective supports, and
if they we're removed the Church to
which they belong would find itself
sborn of more than half lis strength.
The female members of the different
Protestant denominations are, according
TO the reports OF the Chautauqua Con.
ference, almost equally effective. In
the department OF foreign missionary
labor alone the Union Womens Board
have raised upward of eight hundred
thousand dollars during the past year.
and since its organization, which is OF
comparatively recent date, the enormous
sum of four and half million dollars
has been collected through their instru-
mentality. The silence and the mo iesty
with which this great labor has been ac-
complished are perhaps Its most rem ark
able and noteworthy features. Ifa lot
OF men had done 1t we should have had
the whole story told on thousand plat
forms and in thrice thousand religions
and secular pamphlets and prints.-N

Health Statistics.

The bulletin of July 30th of the N Nation
al Board OF Health is full Of surprises.
Hamilton, Bermuda, Is credited with an
annual death-rate OF 81 per 1000. while
Acapulco, Mexico, shows arate OF 104.A.
Between these extremes We lad Lsndon
with rate of 20.3; Berlin, u. 8; NJ unich,
40.6; Genoa, 1872; Vienna, 28.7; Warsaw,
21.l; Cape Tewn, 462; Calcutta. 1871;
Mantreal, 4s.l. As bearing on the ques.
tlon Of the relative rates OF mortality o,
whites aud coIored people We cite the
fact thst at Burlington, Vermont, the
rates are, for the week ended July IS,
1879 and 449s respectively. In Boston
whites and colored people died at the
rates respectively Of 1873 and 34.s; In
New York, 42.3 and 86.i; iu Wilmington, !,
Del, 43.7 and 1888; Chelsea, Mass , 1914
and 96.l; Richmond, Ind, 26.0 and 1853 8.
This disproportion is so marked, how
ever, only In Northern cities. In the
South, whilst the rates are more nearly
equal, there Is usually some advantage
on the side Of the whites. In Savannah,
Ca, where whites and oolored are In
nearly equal numbers, the rates are AIT
to 32.1. 1t is Of interest to observe that
while we have been swelterinR in the
July heat the yIennese have been ut an
average weekly temperature Of 66.2 de-
grees; the people Of Genoa, at s0.6; of
Warsaw, at 40.7; of London, AZ 81 o; of

For the 6scalyea ending June 30, 1880,

ed 63. .526. .694 gallons of distilled spirits,
of which only 2 per cent. was imported;

than one-fifth wasimported, and Ala, I'll,

ga curious experience In the life Of
tex Governor Salisbury Of Delaware
twas his canvass for the United States
"Senate in opposition to his brothers,
"Eli and Willard. The fight was be-
s'gun in the caucusses for the State
Legislature which was to elect .
''Senator in 1869 and was exceedingly
"bitter. Each brother secured the
members from his own district, but
ELI was the winner. ."-Neso York
Star.
We copy the above paragraph only
to say that there has been q mistate-
ment in regard to the point made. It
is not true at all, although it has SO
frequently been stated that the Eight"
was exceedingly bitter" In fact
there was no bitterness" shown by
the brothers. The Senator, Hon. VIII
lard Salisbury, was bound to with
draw but few of his admirers insisted
in voting for him, while friends Of the
Ex-Governor desired to elect him to the
Senate but it was found that he could
not secure an election. The present
Senator made no effort at all to secure
his election or the defeat of either of
his brothers. But the members of the
Legislature finding they could not
agree upon the ex- Governor at all ten
dered the Senatorship to Hon. Eli
Salisbury, who accepted of the honor,
after he was assured that his brother,
DR.. Cove, could not be elected. There
was no contest made before the Ieopls
prior to the election.
The circumstance is most singular
one. But the conduct of the gentle
men named was only such as each OF
his friends could admire.

THE CHRIsTrANA IMPROVEMENT.

The CHRIsTIANA IMPROvEMENT,-
The summer is passing rapidly away
and nothing has been done toward
even commencement of the work
ordered to be done for the improve
ment of the Christiana River. Off
GERS with ordinary energy and ability
who desired to serve the Government
from which they draw their pay, would
certainly have been able since the
appropriation was made by Congress
to get the work at least under way.
But 20 far as We can learn, Lieut..
Colonel Ludlow has done nothing at
ALL 1t is useless to offer as an excuse
that the City Courcil had not put
traps in the streets to catch the wash.
ings. That has never been required
of any other city that we have heard
of; and could have nothing whatever
to do with the building of jetty and
pier at the mouth of the river to
deepen the channel and clear away
the bar. Again, the fact that Lieut..
Ludlow recommended the wharf own.
ers to 60 to work and dredge the
river in front of their own wharves
looks as though he had not intended
to do anything this summer.
The city has been at work and at
considerable expense has put in several
traps to catch the dirt that washes
from the streets. What business
Ludlow had to assume to dictate to
this city what it should do before he
discharged the woik Congress ordered
to be done, that gentleman no doubt
can satisfactorily explain, should the
matter be referred to the Department
hereafter. He has assumed to dictate
to this city, and require it TO "trap"
the natural water courses. Could he
not as well dictate to the farmers who
own lands along the Christiana, whose
plowed up fields often lose much of
their soil by being washed into the
river through natural water courses ?
For aught we know the washings of
thousands of years have passed into
the Christiana from all the fields that
border on it. But in the natural
course of things all the dirt has dis
appeared and the Christiana is about
a. deep now as 1t ever was. Lieut..
Col. Ludlow seems never to have re-.
membered that Delaware contributes
not far from million dollars year to
the Government. The expenditure it
has ordered here is not free gift. 1t
is only returning a part of our own
money.
But Col. Ludlow has now, it is
stated, been required at another and
much more extensive field of labor,
under the immediate direction of
General Newton, who is tunneling
the East River, to blast and remove
the rocks at He'll Gate. Col. Macomb
has also been relieved of the charge
OF the improvements of the Delaware,
and 1T is hoped that Major Gillespie
who has been placed in charge of the
works in this section will see the pro
priety OF proceeding with the improve.
ment at the mouth of the Christians
and deepening the channel of that
stream as determined upon, and fol
which the money was long since ap-
propriated, at once.

and prices lowest.
Now, when everybody
wants trousers (hot weather
is hard on trousers), we have
them by the thousand at

as ordinarily cost nearly or
