LYING IN A GLASS HOUSE.

Not long ago we had occasion to refer
to the phenomenal assembly then about to
be held in Kentucky to devise methods of
wiping out the stain of illiteracy which
blemishes the fair fame of that State. 1t
was admitted to be a shame and a disgrace,
the per cent. of illiterates being something
astonishing. The Convention has been
held, and practical steps taken to raise
the standard of the public school system
and to lift the commonwealth out of its
humiliating position. No paper was more
outspoken than the Louisville Courier
Journal on the subject, and no paper made
more damaging admissions than it. How
ever, when others criticise the Bourbon
State it appears to be different matter,
and the urier.JoavnGl, nettled at our re-
marks, has had the ill.grace to reply with
falsehood, whole-cloth and Independent
misrepresentation. backed by figures con-
jured out of its own imagination. 1t re-
torts that the California kettle is as
black as the Kentucky pot, and that
in this State, between the ages
of 10 and 81, there are SIS, GAG white
girls who cannot read or write, and l62. 053
California women over 81 who cannot read. :"
In the absence of the official compendium
of the late census, and but one copy of
which has been received in this State as
yet, and the arrival of which we need not
await, we have semi-official reports. We
are by these informed that the total num-
Der of all persons in California
unable to read is 1883; unable
to write, $3.50; whites above 10
years, unable to write, $1,000. The ''Edu-
cational Year Book finds but four States
of the Union with better percentage in
the matter of illiteracy than California.
But our own local statistics suffice to an
swer the wild assertion of the Kentucky
paper. The school census returns report
children between 5 and II years of age.
These returns for 1882 report white girls
between those ages in California as num-
bering LOG, 3l4. The totalnumber of white
children not attending public schools in
1882 was As, 707, about "a, 600 being girls.
1t is not to be assumed that the "a, 900
cannot read. On the contrary, the proofs
Show that nearly all able, by reason Of
years, can read for many parents will not
send children to school before they are
from to s years of age. 1t is estimated
that is, 600 of the girls enumerated do not
attend school, because they are too young.
This would leave but 5000 girls not at.
tending public schools. OF these many
are taught by private tutors, and thus the
figure is still more reduced. The facts be-
ing as stated between and IL, it is IN
questionable that they are of like charac,
ter between the ages of 10 and 81, with the
exception that the advanced age must re-
duce the number. The statement relative
to those over 81 is simply absurd and with
out the shadow of truth. The Courier
Journal will see that Californians do not,
as it suggests, Z" live in glass.houses. y

less human progress comes to halt, and
men turn their backs upon the plainest
dictates of reason and the fundamental prin-
ciples of true democracy. The Repub-
licans of the Empire State have cause for
congratulation. They forced the civil
service reform measures in that State.
The Democracy throttled it, but the Re-
publicans forced it to release its grasp.
Then the starvation and reduction plan
was tlied, and it we'll nigh succeeded, but
the Republican legislators stood firm, COM
manded enough of the honest Democrats
to carry thesbill, and forced it to sucoesa-
ful passage, emaciated as it was. But it
