THAT American parents are educating
their children to be iCfleFs Is the complaint
OF the Boston Herald 'fNot long ago." it
says, cit was shown that the drift OF repre-
sentative schools in Boston and Quincy was
in the direction of occupations which are be-
of the boys. none of the girls, expected to
really work for a living. They were to do
what was nice and genteel-but not to soil
their hands-noF to wear overalls or scrub
flOOrs-not, in short. to DO anything that did
not belong to a superior race. Until the one
thing above everything else in our education
is recognized to be the training of the char
acter-until honest dealing with a chlld's In
tellectual and moral life is made fundamental
in our education-until we can rest content
with the fitting of children of the place in
life for which God evidently intended them
we shall not have taken the criminal element
out Of our educational system"

AN OvERsHADOWKNG ISSUE.-There
were one hundred millions of surplus in
the treasury and the Republicans knew
1t and felt no restraint. Appropriations
for all purposes were recklessly increas-
ed without any apparent regard for the
common interest of the whole people.
The sum total of appropriations for 1888
is 1924, 243, 067, OF ST, ,522. .621 more than
for 1882 and over S1O1, ,6OO. 900 more than
for 1881. The party which is RESPONSE
bic for this extravaganza has already
begun to make vOluminOus explanations
in the vain hope of beclouding the mat
ter and making fiction play the part of
truth, But truth, like murder. twill
out" and the people justly murmur at
this outrageous raid upon the treasury.
The majority haG the power to shape the
record of Congress. It could have pre-
vented this assault upon the treasury if
it had seen fit. 1t chose rather to permit
the qualification of personal aims than
to protect the interests of the public.
There is no earthly excuse, for instance.
for the increase of over seven millions
in the appropriation for rivers and har-
bUrs. for there is an unexpended balance
of four millions of last years appropria-
tion for that purpose. But it is useless
for the people to muTmur, They must
act. Members of Congress are public
servants and when they fail in their
duty their places should be filed by
more competent and faithful men. The
majority should be held responsible po-
litically and the Tecreant members of the
minority personally for the sins of the
late disTeputable Congress. Let the peo-
pie prepare to record a Just and meInor-
able verdict at the ballot-boX.

JUDGE WILSON was three times bro't
before the Democratic convention Of
the First District in Minnesota two
weeks ago, and each time refused to ac-
cept the nomination fer Congress. but
the convention persisted in thrusting it
upon him and adjourned. His excuse
was that he was comparatively a poor
man and could not stand the expense of
a campaign, In the present debauched
condition of politics. as general rule,
it is only man with a plethoric purse
who can secure a Congressional election
1t is bad omen for the future of the
Republic, but it is as absolutely true as
the sun viii rise tomorrow, and here is
a conspicuous illustration of the fact.
The delegate elections in Camden cOun-
ty. New jersey, which is embraced in
the district now represented by George
T. Robson. Grants corrupt Secretary
Of the Navy, and the present corrupt
Republican leader in Congress, who was
as DOOR as Lazarus when he entered the
Navy Department and is now a mil
lionaire, took place on Tuesday of last
week. James II. Nixon was Robson S
opponent and it was believed that the
result in Camden county would decide
the contest. NixOn's friends raised a
pool Of $4,000 70 carry the election for
delegates, but on Tuesday morning they
found out that Bobeson and his hackers
had $4,000 with which to play at the
same game. This grave situation of
affairs was telegraphed to Nixon, who
being satisfied that Robason's $ pile could
carry the day. threw mp the sponge by
Withdrawing from the contest, leaving a
clear field to Robson, who. on Friday
was unanimously re-nomnated. Nix
on's $4,000 would have defeated any
. other man than Robsson, but when the
. latter saw Nixon pile and went $4,000
. better he had no other alternative than
. an unconditional surrender.

WONDERFUL MATERNITY.-Among the
passengers on board the Red Star Line
Steamer Vaderland, on a recent voyage from
Antwerp to this country, were three sisters,
who had married three brothers, the ceremo-

Germans and belong to the middle class.
After arriving Philadelphia the women and
their husbands remained at the old emigrant
depot, on the steamship dock, until the latter
obtained employment at their trades, two OF
them being tailors and the remaining oIN

Minerva street, a small thOroughfare In the
vicinity OF the Philadelphia and Reading
coal wharves, at Port Richmond. A few ar

meager means, and the three couples COM

noon recently the Youngest sister became the
mother Of two fine, healthy loo king girls, the
outdoor physician of the Guardians Of the
Poor, in that vicinity, being called on to
perform the medical service. After the de-
partuTe of the latter and while her two sis
ters were in the act of cOngratulating the
newly-made mamma, the elder of the two
found that she was in need of the doctors
service and before he could be summoned
she also gave birth to twins, boys IN this
case. Later in the evening the remaining
sister who is twenty-five years OF age and a
gOOd-lOOking blonde, did as well rs her other
sisters by presenting her husband with two
girls. 1t is said that the physician, when sum

IN the Criminal Court Of Washing
ing city, on Friday last, Judge Wvlie
set aside the verdict Of the jury against
Miner and Rerde1. two of the Star
route thieves and granted n new trial.
fixing the date of its commencement on
the first Monday Of December next.
judge Wvlie stated that he set the YER
dict aside on the ground Of general IN
raasonableness-th Miner and RerdelI
who had been convicted, could not have
been in a conspiracy without the aid Of
others (meanfug Brady, the two Dor
savs and Vale. in whose cases the Jury
failed 60 aE-oel and that it was a pure
matter Of justice that they should have
q new trial. Al the defendants. except
Turner, who was acquitted, will there
fore be tried over again. and as the jury
stood ten for conviction and two for ac-
quittaI in the Brady and Dorsey cases,
and one for acquittaI to eleven for CON
viction against Vale. the prospect is
encouraging that at the next trial they
viii all land in the peniteDtiary, their
natural and legal destination. But as
jlrv trials now go in this country where
the defendant or defendants are men Of
wealth and influence in society, this re-
suit is by no means assured. Only a
few weeks ago a jury in Venanro conn
ty, in this State, acquitted Craft, the
cashier of a bank. who had embezzled
over two hundred thousand dollars of
it's funds. On dischargiug the jury
Judge Taylor said to them 81 have no
further use for you here I suppose if
Mr.. Craft had been on trial for stealing
a ham you would have found him gull

be the outcome Of the second trial of
the Star route gang. Let us hope not,
however.
