A vapid Decision.

The President of the French Cham
ber has ruled that the words "kings'
and "princes" are unconstitutional
The official in question doubtless meant
well, but his ruling will strike some
people as being quite as vapid as the
legislation which decreed that the
pronunciation of the name of GER
tain State in this Republic should be
Arkansaw.

of making audible comments upon the

presided, obliged to threaten to cleal
the house of strangers in consequence
of Gambetta's emphatic outbursts.

to dine with him At one end of the
table was roasted turkey, and at the
other the goose. When asked which
he would have each guest said "Goose."

1t was said by biographer of Ed
ward Everett that he was man with
one idea, and that idea the education of
the people. The concentration of the
mind upon such a thought would not be
likely to result in narrowness. If Mr..
Everett had lived to our day, he would
have seen his desire realized in some
wonderful ways. As an educator of
the people, our periodical press is per-
forming service that would have filled
him with enthusiasm. Not to speak
OF the attention devoted by the daily
and weekly newspapers to reports of
scientific lectures and discussions, and
to all sorts of literary and educational
topics, look at the work now performed
by the great magazines. When one
examines the contents of magazine
like The Century, and then thinks of
the phenomenal circulation, by which
1t reaches every month six or seven
hundred thousand readers, he secs that
ii is promoting the education of the
people in a magnificent way. Even the
diversion furnished is educational; for
the stories are all of high order, and
readers who have got taste for such
fiction as that of Mr.. Howells or Mr..
Cable are not likely to return to the
beggarly elements of the flash novels.
The education of the taste, through the
presentation of the most exquisite spec
linens of wood engraving the world
has ever seen, is another contribution
to the cause so dear to NJ Everett
The popularization of science 3, means
OF finely illustrated articles o. garioua
branches of natural history, j. another
effective method of popular cdEc3tion
employed by the magazine. And
still more important service is the pub.
licaion, in serial form, of historical
studies of the highest value. Take such

Our Faulty Penal systems.

ohtdiua1 ENNHlHE hdliAuTs
A great deal of sense and great
deal of nonsense is said and written in
regard to reforming criminals. 1t is
subject that will bear much attention
for there is certainly no class of people
who need reform more than does that
large and varied one known as crimin-
ais. Nothing is more faulty than our
present system of prison management.
There is but one prison in America
that is really well managed-Cherry
Hill-and indeed that is far from per-
feet. In the institution referred to the
prisoners are kept in solitary contine.
ment, and one is not allowed to assO-
ciate or converse with another. In
many other institutions the prisoners
are huddled together like flock of
sheep; thus, the prisoner in for the first
time meets and associates with tho
most hardened convicts; and by such
means crime is often fostcred and
spread. And again, in other prisons
both sexes are allowed to associate in
Discriminatory, often with frightful con-
sequences, albeit nothing ever reaches
the public ear. Very often criminals,
while serving their time for one offence,
are planning another; and they fire.

thrown around them, would lead up

to elect their candidate. By some re.
msrkAble process it makes out that the
Republicans are reasonably sure OF

But the Tribune admits that there are
seven states which may be called doubt

New York, SO. and Oaio 3. Well, il il

they can get but il they really expect
that the Democrats won't get at lesst

they are destined to be more surprised
than the Republicans we're after they
heard Of the result Of the Onio election.
As matter OF fact, the Democrats ate

and the Republicans are sure Of being
