fected that all democrats, no matter how
they may differ upon the subject of the

that they make proper and efficient arrange

officers TO be elected then will have potential
influence in their respective cities and coun-

should he no guess work about the matter.

THURSDAY. EVENING, JANUARY II, 1888.

THE FACT that the Mexican reciprocity
treaty, whichit has been supposed would
be negotiated in Washington during the
next two months, is completed, and copy
of it already in the State Department, shows
that the commissioners of both the countries
that are parties to it are wise men. They
naturally thought that their labor might be
hindered by interested suggestions, advice
and interfercnces if it were known that they
were engaged in their allotted work So
they quietly met. some time ago, and be-
lieving that they were as we'll aware Of the
needs Of the two countries, so far as those
needs could be supplied by the proposed
treaty, as any or all Of those who might
otherwise desire to advise them upon the
subject, they prepared it to suit themselves
and consequently were not long about il
The Ways and Means Committee Of the L
5. House Of Representatives and the Finance
Committee Of the Senate, ia the preparation
of their bills, might profit by the example o.
the commissioners referred to.

IT LOOKS as though the bill to relieve
Congress from the consideration vi private
claims and refer all such to the court OF
claims, which has recently been under con-
sideration in the Senate, will he laid aside
indefinitely, rs it has not been called up for
the last three or four days. If shall come
up again this session, Mr.. Johnston, as pre-
viously Stated in the GAZETrEs Washing
ton correspondence will offer an amend
ment providing for the payment of mail
contractors in The South for service render
ed before the civil war. A specific amount
was appropriated for that purpose several
years ago, but us it Was discovered by an
inspection of the Confederate archives that
some Of the claimants had been paid bv
the Confederate Government, the Secretary
Of the Treasury refused to pay any of them
Mr.. Johnston's proposed amendment is a just
one, and should be adopted, as it only pro-
vides for the payment Of valid claims.

THE OPINION of the wiscst and most
pra, teal men Of the North who have
laid any attention to the subject, is that the
instruction of the free schools should be
restricted to spelling, reading, writing,
arithmetic, geography and history-cspeci-
ally that of this country. Well grounded
in these studies, no boy or girl, ambitious of
higher instruction, and capabale of profiting
thereby, will long be in need Of obtaining it.
And the proposed restriction, by reducing
the cost of individual instruction, will
greatly enlarge the capacity Of the schools
and widen the gates of learning.
