states that the whole number of schol-
ars between the ages of five and twen-
ty years in attendance at the common
schools in the State the past year was
72,744. The estimated number at
tending private schools was 1904,
making 60,748 attending school. The
amount expended for wages, fuel, new
buildings, &C., was $500, 580.76. Mr..
Dartt is strongly in favor of the town
system, and recommends that law
be passed making it compulsory in all
the towns in the State. He believes
it would be productive of far greater
benefits than the district system

Rev. DR.. storrs Speaks.


The most important and interesting OF
the recent expressions of prominent d.
vines in regard to the two real Presiden-
tial candidates, was given by the Tribune
recently, in the shape of an interview
with the Rev. DR.. Richard S. Storrs, the
Chrysostom of the American Congrega-
tional preachers who have inherited the
Puritan faith and pecullarltleS. Dr.
Storrs has never imposed on his friends
any of those duties of defence that have
been borne to so large an extent by the
friends of his only OratOrical rival IN
BROOKLYN. Mr.. Beecher. He was not an
original Blaine man, but he has care
fully considered all the arguments and
scandals against the Republican candi-
date and finds that Mr.. Blaine not only
did not use his official position for cor
rupt pecuniary gains, but thinks that
there was very distinct negative. preg-
nant in the fact that Cakes Ames, who
was one of the shrewdeSt of men, never
tried, or certainly never with success,
to get Mr.. Blaine engaged in his schemes
about the Union Pacific Railroad, while
he did enlist in them other distinguished
members of Congress, to their lasting
discredit."
But DIR. Storrs is for Blaine because
back of HIM is the Republican party and
the American SYSTEM of protective du-
ties. The old spirit of the party he be-
lieves is still supreme in its control, in
critical times. and he is confident that
Mr.. Blaine will take the best leaders of
the party into his Cabinet. As to Cleve-
land, his language is so remarkable for
its strength and severity that we quote it
in full, as follows:
- If SnnmS worry CLAIR foo tbat ciDoo
the nominations were made the Achar-
acter of the. only other candidate who
can by possibility be elected hasreeeIved
fatal Wound-fatal, that is to any just
aspiration on his part towards the Pres
idency. The suggestion that man
whose history is stained with admitted
RIGHTEOUSNESS may properly and deliber-
ately be put at the head of the nation
must certainly be secuted. Forgiveness
is one thing. Popular coronation is
quite another. Ethics must surely take
precedence of politics. 1t would seem to
me, certainly, a grave offence against
the family, against the public honor for
chaste wOmanhOOd, against the essential
welfare of the State, to contribute to
elevate to the highest office in the gift of
his cOuntrymen man with a loose
woman in his train and an illegitimate
son. / can hardly imagine anything of
worse example to the multitudes of
Young men who are dangerously temp
ted, and who need whatever succOr to
their virtue may come from a support
ing and imperative public sentiment. 1t
would seem to me to make the nation at
large, if not the positive patron of lewd
ness, at least the careless apOlogist for
it. 1t would put dishonOr upon the
American name among all Christian
people. l cannot imagine that the con-
science of the country has reached a
point of dumb weakness where such a
thing is possible"

REV. Mr.. JUMP ON THE NATIONAL

Jump, "that in placing separate

gain and everything to lose. The Re-
publican party of Vermont has al

lation. Why should we now ALLEVIATE
it from us, and lose the friendship of
those whom we can i'll afford to

The views of the Rev. DR.. Storrs,
of Brooklyn, on the political situation,
which we publish elsewhere, are of far
more value and weight than anything
that Mr.. Beecher can say. DR.. Storrs
has at least as high position in the
clerical world as Mr.. Beecher, and has
never been tainted in any way. His
views are expressed with such temper
ateness and in such a manifestly equit-
able spirit, that they cannot fail to re-
store the balance of many wayering

Last year they carried it by over

years. They confidently expected to
