The Japanese, says the New York Times
are making very rapid progress in education
1t had its beginning not quite eleven year
ago. In 1872 not less than $1,000 govern
ment schools were established, conducted OF
European principles, the average of schools
being one to every GAO inhabitants. In two
years the number of schools was augmented
until the pupils exceeded 400, 900. IT at the
commencement of this wonderful educa.
tional movement there was some confusion
owing to the incapacity of European teach.
ers, and the want of interchange oil
language, these troubles passed away. The
number of pupils Immediately after 1873 rap.
idly increased, until in 1877 in the seven
great school districts nearly $1,000 male
teachers, with 1875 female teachers, were
educating 1852, 40 male and 543, 768 female
pupils. There is, then, an elementary school
for every 1345 inhabitants and for every
four and three-quarters square miles of the
empire. Taking the total children in Japan
OF an age TO go to school as PSI ,807, seventy
one per cent. derive the benefits of instruc.
ton. Leaving out of consideration the
higher branches of knowledge, only derivable
from special schools, the effort seems to tend
toward the education of the masses. Looking
at the expenses, some five years ago, with an
appropriation of 81, 072, 974, the cost of edu-
cation was los, say 81 80, per pupil. The
iiberslity OF the japanese and their firm be-
lief in the great advantages to Be derived
from this general education become manifest
when II is learned that IN Eve years about
$500, 900 of our money has been bestowed BY
private individuals for the school fund, to-
gether with great deal of valuable real
estate. Two years ago there were 2,319 900
pupils, and, from such accounts az may be
gathered, last year the total number was
near 100000. There is one point which,
in an educational sense, requires correction,
and that is in regard to the Japanese girls,
as the number OF these is very small in pro-
portion to the boys.

The emperor of Russia has been influenced
in fixing positively the date of the corona
ton for August by certain proceedings OF the
/ party of Grand Duke Constantine, which
are beginning to develop themselves, and
the phrase of "ihe deposition OF an un-
crowned sovereign" is frequently TO be heard.
Placed in the alternative of either losing his
life or his crown, the car prefers TO expose
the first to save both, knowing that 10 losing
the second he would probably lose the fret,
and that all his dynasty and family would
share his fate. He also knows that the
party of Grand Duke Constantine is being
organized to this point, and that 1t is
already completely provided with ministers
who would accept the responsibility of
constitution.
No one pretends that the emperor will
proceed to the coronation with the intention
Of giving constitution and procaiming an
amnesty. Those who know his character say
that his only sentiment will be that OF anger.

The latter made light of the information,
one of the great demands of the Russian
people being for the partition OF land which
Is to be made to the detriment of the nobility.
There are people here who are inclined 10
believe that the emperor will sacrifice the
landed proprietors to the peasantry, and at
ais coronation will order distribution of
ands, responding thus to the cupidity ex-
'ited among the masses by the nihilist propa-
,andists. This will be laying the basis for

Hon. Thomas Burk in nomination for

This with the resolutions of the con-

both parties in Washington territory

Idaho in the boundaries of the new
state. We could ask no more, and if
North Idaho will vote solid or nearly
