The Commissioners of King county
now III session, talk of selling the pres
ent court house property and building
anew i'll another quarter, considering il
hardly worth while to rebuild the house
destroyed last night.
Henry Morgan, who went to San
Francisco from New Dungeness a few
months ago, died there of typhoid fever
last Sunday. He had relatives in the
city, but pride prevented him calling
upon them when in need of their aid
He went to cheap boarding house
from which he was afterward taken 10 4
hospital. and cared for by his relatives
who had become informed of his sickness
In his delirium he raved about his dis
tant home and his mother, whom he be-
lieved to be dead. \ brother went down
from Portland to bring his body home.
Accordingly 10 the last annual report,
there are now in Washington Territory
II subordinate lodges of MasOns, and
l39Umcmbers. There are two more lodges
and 1870 more members than there were
a year ago.
Wizards new house on the corner of
Madison avenue and 5lSt st, New York,
is expected far to excel Wm. Il Wander
bits III magnificence. The floor of one
room is entirely III mosaic and the adOrn-
ment of two Others is expected to cost
not less than Si50,0O0.
During the past few weeks nearly
1000 troops have returned to France from
Tunis, and it Is expected that before the
middle of November between 5000 and
5000 more Will have returned. France
is apparently finding the preservation of
peace i'll the regency less difficult than
was anticipated.

In Massachusetts, when.a white woman elects
to become the wife of American citizen of
pure African blood, her old friends and neigh
bors do not cut her acquaintance. They do not
gather about the home OF the newly married,
and in the still hours of the night hold with
fishhorns and tin pans, what is known In Hoosier
parlance as a shiveree. They do not provide
themselves with bucket of tar and a bag of
feathers, and favor the groom with q wedding
tour by rail, us has been done in less highly cul-
tured regions. No, indeed; they know a trick
many degrees meaner than any of these. Miss
FagS, of Boyleston, Mass, pretty, accomplished
and twenty six, the daughter of the leading ctti-
zen Of the town, became, few days ago, the
bride OF Mr.. Hazard, a clark mulatto," who had
formerly been her fathers "hired man." and
whom she had taught to read. 1t was hazard
Gus step, and the townspeople, who are shocked
Il and scandalized beyond measure, say she will
live to feel her dis race. They mean to see that
she does, in fact, and to this end the literary
society has arranged to give the young couple a
reception as soon they get settled IN their
snew. French-roofed house right In the center of
the village" This mode of treatment, 1t will at
once be seen, is far superior to the common
method of dsapproval in the infinite possiOili-
ties it offers for polite, but cutting, reprOof and
censure, besides the qualification afforded to the
curiosity or the guests. When that wretched
bride has received the condolences OF her friends
expressed in tones of profound pity and sYmpa-
thy which they feel for her in her unfortunate
position" she will undoubtedly wish she had
never been born, to say nothing of having been
married. II she survives the ordeal e>will re-
main hut a broken reed, crushed strawberry
monument, as it were, and will be an effectual
warning to other girls who have cast longing eyes
toward comely negroes The Massachusetts mode
of reproof has obvious social advantages.

VICE AND MANUAL EDUCATION.

Industrial schools, aside from their meal
sulable value as institutions of useful learn
ing, are keen weapons with which to oppose
crime There is nothing truer than the old
saw, that the devil finds some mischief still
tor idle hands to do. Statistics collected by
Mr. Vaux from the Eastern Pennsylvania
Penitentiary. at Philadelphia, show that of
$50 youths under twenty-one received there
in ten years, 755 had no trade. But they did
not lack in education" socalled; indeed.
5z2 Of them we're from private schools.
The record substantiates what has long
been felt: that our schools turn too many
half-educated lads loose on the world, espe-
cially in cities, without training for special
occupations, and with dislike never over
come for all forms of manual labor. The
fact is that the part played by mere illitera-
cy in making criminals is not so great as the
ignorance of special occupations and the
acknowledgment disinclination
to enter into "plebeian mechanical pursuits"
Many of the subjects taught in our high
schools and colleges have no relation to the
practical business of making living; pupils
are graduated from them debarred by lack
of the proper manual education, or lack of
physical development, from trades, mechan-
ical and agricultural pursuits. They natur-
ally gravitate to light employments, which
do no soil hands or clothes, and which, from
the false standpoint of education at home
and in the schools are considered respecta-
BILE.
This condition can only be met by COM
bining with our present system of public
high-schools and colleges industrial depart
ments. A course in wood or iron-work
should credit college or high-school stu
dent as much in his per cents. as a course in
botany chemistry, algebra or rhetoric. If
the arts and tools which underlie the trades
are taught by professional and educated me-
chanics in pleasant rooms, under the same
roof and management as departments of art,
science and literature, the squeamish preju-
lice against trades and mechanical callings

Mr.. Cook and the Press.

A few small souls eased themselves yester-
day, with the assertion that the Journals cd
itorial upon Mr.. Cook was because OF that gem
tleman's supposed relations TO evangelical reig-
ion and the Christian church. If MIR. Cook, or
any other equally iatulent egotst. can heal the
smart of wholesome truth that way, we have
no possible objection. Bnt sound-minded
churchmen and Christians must feel Inundated
that the religion they profess is held by any
number of people to be at the mercy of any one
man, even Joseph Cook; and they know, too,
that while not religious paper In any
sense, the church and the cause OF religion and
good morals never had a tirmer or stancher
friend than the journal. What we had to say
Of Mr Cook was the truth. stated bluntly and
without reserve, and was invited by the gross
and outrageous statements made by him at
Chicago. and elsewhere, with respect to the
newspapers of the country. Mr.. Cook
said, in public lecture, without
qualification, that large majority of the news
papers of the country were for sale, and that a
large majority of the writers for the press were
in the market. or course, he alluded to the
editorial writers; for as to the writer's of other
matter, the question of conscience does not and
cannot enter. This statement of Mr.. Cook was
foul and infamous SANDER. shamelessly false,
and whether made deliberately or in
ignorance, disgrace to q
man of his assumed intelligence and a
dlshonor to the cloth he wears. There is no
larger per cent. of the newspapers of the
country for sale than there is of pulpits. and
there is no larger per cent. of editorial writer's
purchasable than there is of preachers. If
we should make q statement about the pulpit
similar to that made hy Mr.. Cook of the press
We should be, as We deserved, denounced, by
every honorable person. That Mr.. Cook
can utter his ISLANDERS in voice
like q Bull of Bashan and clothe them
in incomprehensIble language does not change
their character. The tone of voice does con-
vert lie into the truth. Mr.. Cook has put HIM
self outside the pale Of honorable controversy by
his wholesale and baseless libels, as he
long since read himself out OF the
ranks of scientists by his absurd state
ments of alleged scientific truth. The
Journal would not be worthy the respect of its
readers, nor entitled to the confidence OF the
people 1t seeks to serve, did it not characterize
the assertions of Mr.. Cook they merit, and If
any body prefers to believe Mr.. Cook they should,
in all conscience, trample the newspapers of the
country under their sanctimoni0us feet

now entertained by young lads and their
parents would be largely overcome,
Schools of this kind by their very presence
give dignity to labor; they have been estab-
lished successfully is several Eastern cities as
departments of grammar and high schools,
and are elevating the character and advanc-
ing the interests of the mechanical trades,
and thereby doing as much to prevent vice as
the ordinary literary departments.
The Journal has for years been advocating
more utilitarian administration of the pub
lie school fund in cities. The board of edu-
cation of this city have acted wisely in estab-
posed and far-sighted citizens, all industrial
summer school of eight weeks, under Prof
Goss, of Purdue University. No educational
project has been more warmly welcomed by
our business men, and in less than forty-eight
hours the necessary funds for establishing
the school, purchasing TOOLS material and
tuition fund, were promptly and cheerfully
subscribed, in Sums ranging from two dollars
to one hundred dollars.
This school will give tools, tuition and ma
terial for an eight-weeks' term; five days
each week, and two hours each day, during
July and August. 1t will be open to any
person of good character, strong enough to
use saw and plane, without reference to
scholastic attachments, and will teach the
use of the common bench tools in wood
work. 1t is under the care of the board of
education, and its properties revert to the
board at the close of the term. The school
board will supply ample room for its ac
commodation, furnished with the requisite
benches, etc. A tuition fee will be charged
this year of eight dollars, including use of
tools and wood. Hereafter, in consideration
of the public approval and support of such
a school, the board will be able to meet all
the expenses and make the tuition free.
1t is to be hoped this addition to our public
school enterprises will have its part, as an edu-
cational factor, in suppressing that contemp.
for manual labor which, when fostered, can
only lead young men to vice and dissipation.

DETECTIVE WORK.

If it be true as has been stated, that the
panic on the East river bridge was caused by
the work of the pickpockets, the country
would applaud if there were some sort of
law whereby they could be shot down on
sight. In this connection. it is a curious fact
that the detectives and police of our large
cities always claim to know these characters
and can point them out upon the street at
any time, know the whereabouts of their
haunts and hiding-places yet these vile birds
are not molested in their career OF crime
until they reach house breaking, robbery, or
murder. What warrant have the custodians
of the peace, property and life, to tolerate
the presence of gangs of well-known Grim
inals? For the average detective" there is
nothing strange about such procedure, but
more is expected of the regular and officially
employed police. There is general distrust
as to the fidelity of the men engaged in the
lower stratum of the private detective"
business. The class of men who enter into
it is not calculated to assure the business of
men. "set thief to catch thief has been
the maxim We think the doctrine is per-
nicious, and that in great majority of cases
the regular officers of the law could do all
the work necessary for the detection
and apprehension of criminals The
means of communication are now so
complete and rapid that no sensible
man will attempt to escape, and
the fool will be caught anyhow AS to fer
reting out crimes that have been concealed,
we do not see why the commissioned officers
of the law and their deputies cannot do the
work as we'll as an irresponsible gang styling
themselves detectives" one-half OF whom
are professional black-mailers and good por-
ton of the other half unreliable.
Some of the most remarkable cases of
shrewd unearthing of crime and the subse-
quent arrest of the criminals on record were
accomplished by the plain old-fashioned
sheii%sss, vben the facilities for such work
were not half so favorable as now. They
took pride in performing sworn duty; but
the modern so-caled detective is on the
make, and every man of ordinary sense
knows it, A recent instance of their work
occurred in Texas, when Treasurer Polk, of
Tennessee, was overtaken and arrested by
detective in the employ of the State from
which Polk had fed. Polk was in shape to
pay more for his liberty than the State had
offered for his arrest hence was permitted
to continue his flight, though subsequently
pursued by regular officers and returned to
the officers of the State which he had robbed
We are inclined to insist upon the policy OF
encouraging our regular responsible officers
to do this whole line of work, and let the
crowd of third-rate detectives" look out for
themselves
