The House committee on education and
labor was asked on Monday, on the c;.ll
Of committees, for consideration Of its bill
as reported by Mr.. Sherman, granting
National aid to the common schools Of the
States and Territories on the basis of ILL
teracy. This bill has the unanimous sup
port of each member of the committee, and
proposes aid to the amount of 10000, 900
per annum for five years. 1t is patriotic.
non partisan measure of the most vital i'm
portance to the whole country. No other
bill before Congress touches interes's SO
broad, SO vital, or Immediately needing
attention as this, and it is to be hoped
that unanimous consent will be given for
its consideration.

had never swerved from his duty and never fall

now in the evening OF his days, at the sunset Of
life when the reckoning angels were waiting
to greet him, his brother Jssuils who had gone
before him, were preparing his crown, and the
recording angel, with beaming smile was
preparing to write his nam. high on the list OF

The Secretary of tina Interior asks Con
gress to appropriate 100000 Ito com
plete The Tenth census" Congress. has
been voting money for that purpose ever
since 1879. and vet the Tenth census is
compile ed. Al that is known with Ger
tainty concerning this wonderful work is
that it has already cost S5,503, 624 81. or
about S2,500.o00 more than the limit fixed
by the original act of March 3. 1879. In
other words. it has cost to count the peo-
pc of the United STATES rather more than
ten cents for every man, woman and child
OF the fifty millions. The canse of this
extravaganza is the departure
from the constitutional objec's of the CEN
sus. The purpose of an enumeration every
tenth year is to afford basis for appor-
tionment of Representatives and taxes
That is all. The fancy features of this
work have been tackled on at the instance
OF theorists with theories to bolster and
stats icians hungry for more figures
The expenditure for each succeeding
census will grow larger, until public opin-
ion forces back the work within its pro-
per limits All, statistics are interesting.
All statistics, are valuable 1t would lie
to know how many platefuls
OF soup are eaten annually in the Mass
sippi valley. 1t would add to the sum Of
human knowledge ii the census should
show how many hairs there are on the
heads of the Free Will Baptists of the
United States. But when that informa-
ton ispaid for at the above quoted figures

Gov. Butler has introduced new sys-
tenn, of receiving visitors at The Massa-
chusetts State House. His latest predeces-
sors in the Executive Office had all callers
shown into large room, where they sat il.
rows on benches, and the Governor passed
rapidly along the lines, disposing of them
as quickly as possible. 1t was thought
that in this way each person could be made
to see that the Governors time was valua-
le,and would therefore excuse his brevitv.
But Butler has the kick of getting at the
pith of a visitors errand quickly and of
shortening the interview without giving
offence. Callers hand their cards to his
messenger, and nearly every body is shown
IN without much delay to the private
office where he can talk without auditors

The breech of promise case of l.iVj nos

The breech of promise case of Livi ngs-
ton vs.. Fleming, which has been in pre-
gress in New York for several DAYS, was
brought to close on Saturday by the
jury awarding the plaintiff the damages
claimed -S75,eeo> The plaintiff, Miss
Alice NJ. Livingston, is young and in
teresting woman. heiress to fortune of
$4,000, and the defendant, Henry Flem-
ing, is about 80 years old, and is said to
be worth s 900 900. From the evidence
adduced it seems that Miss LIS betraver
had accomplished her ruin under promise
Of marriage, and then conducted her to
questionable houses the character of which
she knew nothing about. in order that
her reputation might be blasted These
facts he used in defense, but the jury, af
;er three quarters of an hours delibera-
ton, brought in a verdict for the plaintiff
amid storms of applause from the specta-
tors in The court room.

The Centreville Observer prints an arti-
Gle putting forward with renewed vigor
the name of William McKenney, of Queen
Anne's county as the next Democratic
candidate for Governor. Mr. McKenney
is said to be so years of age, in the best of
health, of fine physique and possessing
much personal magnetism. Though he
has never taken any part in the public af-
fairs Of the State, he is said to be gen
tlemen of liberal education, and to have
had much successful experience as.a mer-
chant, a farmer and bank manager, being
now the President OF the Centreville Ma
tional Bank. But the chief claim put for
ward in Mr.. Mckenney's behalf is his
thorough Identification with the farming
interest, being large land proprietor and
one of the most extensive farmers in the
State. In our judgment what is wanted
now is not farmers candidate" or a
sttradesman's candidate" but candidate
possessing some familiarity with the af-
fairs Of the State. We have just had one
farmer Governor, and in our opinion he
will do for awhile. Let US now have
candidate for Governor who possesses
some familiarity with the affairs of the
State, and wh9 wihshe able to bring some
qegreSot order out of the chaos our farmer
eefyher has created at Annapolis.

1t would be far better for the business
interests of the country to have revenue le-
gislation completed without delay, than
TO CONTINUE the disturbing influences until
the next Congress meets. In order that
there may be an early subscidence of the
excitement that is now demoralizing man
uiacturers and importers, the revenue re-
formers in Congress will consent TO any
thing that appro1imates equity. They
do not expect or demand unconditional
surrender on the part Of their opponents.
They do not seek to break down any in
dus'ry. but desire such legislation as will
lie fair to wards all. Yet they cannot and
will not give their assent to the perpetra-
ton Of some of the outrages on labor that
are demanded by the protective extremists
and if those demands are not abandoned,
there will be no revenue bills passed by
the Forty seventh Congress.
