Two Chinese laundrymen, with names
that sounded like Tin Cup and One Lung
found relief from their outraged feelings in
the Police Court to-day, and sought the
sweet solace which Judge Smell doles out to
oppressed or prosecuted unfortunates. The
first complaint of the Mongolians was that
young gentleman named Samuel DAILY
had had the audacity to dispute washbill,
and when he was elected from the laundry
bad thrown brick through the window
and caused general confusion. Judge Smell
refused to hear the defendants explanation
and imposed a sentence of $40 or thirty
days.
The next case was that of a well-know II
young telegraph OPERATOR named George
Mccullough, who was charged with spilling
Mongolian gore by tapping one of the
almond-eyed Celestials on the nose. The
evidence was that Mr.. Mccullough, accom-
panied by friend, went to the
laundry for some shirts and got them,
minus two shirt-studs which had been in
them. The Chinaman refused to give up
the studs and noisy encounter ensued,
during which the various contestants pre-
pared for more active warfare by arming
themselves with flatirons and ironing
boards, but contented themselves with
cursing in a choice assortment of languages.
Finally Mccullough was given his studs
and elected from the laundry, but during
the process of ejectment both he and the
laundryman were struck in the face, and
the latter bled copiously from the nose.
The Chinaman subsequently armed himself
with a hatchet and started out for ven-
geance, but was dissuaded from violence.
Judge Smell fined Mr.. Mccullough So and
dismissed case of assault against the
Chinaman.

A PrecOciOus Youth.

This morning shrewd-looking 5-year-
old citizen hauled up at the Baltimore &
Potomac Depot lunch room, and displaying
a So note ordered an oyster stew and several
other delicacies. After concliating the

ticket office and purchased a seat for Alex

NO FEDER1L EDUC4TYoM

The Interstate Educational Convention
which met at Louisville passed resolution
favoring National aid to common. schools. This
will doubtless serve to bring the matter fairly
and squarely before the people for discussion
and final decision. But to the ultimate
result, we do not believe there is the remotest
possibility of the National Governments ever
engaging in such scheme. The cry that the
South needs public schools but is unable to
support them, and that therefore the Federal
Government must support them, is plausible
but speciOus.
The lack of educational facilities in the
South is a serious evil it is true, but there are
many other equally serious evils both North
and South Why should the Federal Govern
ment be compelled to right all the wrongs OF
society," The more the people learn TO help
themselves, and the less they call upon the
Government for help, the better it will ulti-
matey be for them. Education in the South
is far from being what it ought; but if the
Southern States will work wisely and patiently
to make ii better they will finally succeed with
out any aid from outside sources. And the
struggle itself will be the best possible educa-
tion for them.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1883-09-25

usually harder to manage than the delegates.
A method of much greater consequence than
the number of delegates is, OF coarse, the maa-
ner in which they shall be elected. Senator
Miliers plan of doing away with professional
middle-men in politics-of choosing delegates
AID nominating some officers at primaries IN
stead of selecting delegates to conventions who
elect and nominate is entirely practicable,
and seems to present no difficulties but those
of detail. Such primaries would give voters
direct interest in politics and in the affairs OF
their localities which could not be got in any
other way, and which could not fail to be slim
uiating and healthful.
1t is generally admitted that the abuses OF
the caucuses and the primaries are among the
most serious evils of our politics. The. Republic
can party has done great deal in the past
few years to reform them. The Senatorial.
caucus system has been broken down. The
convention system has been practically re-
constructed in Pennsylvania, and the first
step taken toward simultaneous primaries.
reorganization OF the party In New
York City has been accomplished, and now
we are likely to have new party machinery
throughout the State. These are the States
where there has been chief complaint Does
any Que hear of any reform Of methods in the
Democratic party,or of struggle toward any
thing higher than the Offices This contrast
between the two parties speaks volumes.
