LOUISE MICHEL.

The conviction and sentence to penal

parsonage could ever be brought to punish
ment in Paris. Her crimes have not been
merely politically her acts as well as her
teachings she has caused human blood to

inspiring in the communicate class in the
cutters OF Paris wholesome fear of the
law. Her doctrine was, "Tear down the
whole social edifice and begin over again. :"
Deluded by her own fanaticism, penal
term in New Caledonia, after fighting in
the streets Of Paris under the red flag of
the Commune, did not cool her ardor for
uprooting things that are, and supplanting
them with her own visionary scheme of
social forms. Perhaps her new service as
criminal will convince her that the con.
servative forces of society are more stable
than she has dreamed.

THE SCOTT LAW AGAIN.

The Scott law has been argued before
the Supreme Court of Ohio and submitted.
There is danger that as in so many case;
of important issues, it will go off upon
technical points. The opponents of this
law, the scheme of which we recently out
lined in these columns, occurred a County
Auditor who declined to give the notice
for return of the tax statements made
necessary by the Act. This was done os-
tensibly to bring the whole question of the
constitutionality of the law before the
Court. But now, when the appeal has
gone safely up, these Democratic oppo-
nente, for political purposes, raise side
issue and seek to send the case off on that.
They contend that the Court cannot, by
application for mandamus, compel the Au-
ditor to give the notice after the ten days
within which the notice should have been
given have lapsed. II this bit of insincer-
ity prevails, the whole matter will be pre-.
cipitated into the Ohio campaign without
judicial determination of the constitu.
tional question, and the confusion result
ing will be productive of good to neither
party.

ONE NEEDED HERE.

The enthusiasm relative to technical
schools is increasing. On Saturday we
gave some account of that in New York,
and of one in successful operation at Fins
bury, England. We are now advised of a
movement for the establishment of man.
ual training school in Chicago, and that
sum of over 100000 has already been
advanced for lis endowment. Our in.
dustrial necessities, and the probable manu-
featuring Importance of this State, suggest
the idea that the establishment Of a school
in California comprising the scheme Of the
Kindergarten, the common school and the
industrial school, would be of great advan-
tage TO the youth of this State, where the
difficulties in the way of obtaining thor
ough mechanical instruction are almost in

are few and very narrow. Indeed, no
State in the Union is in such need of
mechanical training. school as California

endowment for its maintenance. There is
surplus wealth sufficient in the State !;
there is willing wealth sufficient to give US

propable that the only thing to prevent its
investment in the manner suggested is the
feeling of trepidation that seized upon

nR. BAYARD's IDEA.

Mr.. Bayard, in an argumentative COM
munioation to a New York paper, takes a
position in which he is understood to hold
that tariff laws are in contravention OF the
Constitution, for private property can only
be taken for public use on just compensa-
ton being made. He contends that mo
where in this country can the sovereign
power take the property OF one person to
bestow it upon another, with or without
compensation, and the form of exaction is
immaterial." In other words, any tax col.
iected must be in the name of and for the
use of the United States. From the read.
ing it is difficult to decide whether Mr..
Bayard means 70 be understood as holding
that all the tariff laws are unconstitu-
tionsl; probably he does not wish to be so
interpreted. This is not new view of
the tariff question. It has been advanced
in various forms, but has never, we be.
Geve, been brought before the Coarts,
which would indicate that its advocates
are doubtful Of its strength. Certainly tie
opportunities to test it are ample. The
letter gives the New York Times occasion to
cite case by which the matter can be ad-
Indicated and set at rest. Itis very simple.
The duty on friction matches brought into
the country is thirty-five per cent. This
was che result of a motion made by Mr..
Bayard himself. The rate laid is not for
revenue. the return in 1882 being only

qHs FIRg DILL.

The necessity for fire drills in schools
drills of the most severe character, and
often repeated, was made wildly manifest
in New York the other day. Twenty-one
hundred children were in public school
house, having ample means of exit-more
than in any other in the country. Yet
panic occurred because of the appearance
Of an insect Familiarity known as devils
darning needle" One of the children
screamed as it hummed by it, another
cried fire, and in an instant the alarm
flew from room to room, and floor to floor,
and all was confusion. By only the merest
margin did the teachers prevent a fearful
result. Fortunately the fire drill is
practiced once a week in that
school, and the faculty and elder
pupils by its means and by applying
and enforcing commands with muscular
vigor right and left, held the vast number
of little ones in order until they could be
marched into the halls. Fourteen police
men came to their aid, and even then only
by greatest exertion could blocking up of
the stairwaya be prevented and fresh
panics averted. What added to the terror
Of the children was the gathering of e
crowd in front of the hnilding, shouting
and yelling, and seeking to force an en-
trance. Il is manifest that no matter how
numerous the stairways, how broad, how
ample the exits, less of life will occur in
school house panics unless there is some-
thing else, and that something else is the
fire drill. 1t must be frequent, pitiless
almost, and the elder pupils must be made
off GERS with responsibility attaching to
them. They thus become an auxiliary
force to the teachers, well distributed and
capable of checking fright sooner than the
teachers can. Then, too, the children
must be taught that safety alone is in
sured by orderly discharge from the build
ing, and that death is certain to follow a
panic. This is done by drilling them in a
way to impress upon them the danger of
crowding and blocking up an exit. The
subject is one of much interest, and especi.
ally in cities should engage the earnest at
tention Of School Boards, which should
enlist the aid of competent military drill
noaaters
