ENGLAND,S PURLIC SCHOOLS.

The general impression in this country is that England is not an illiterate country, but it is declared to be the most illiterate coun- try of northern Europe. England is behind France and Germany, and very far behind the United States, in the matter of common school education. It was only fifteen years ago that public primary education was adopt ed in England, endowed and church schools taking the place of public schools before that time Three years fter the passage of the compulsory educa- - law, the school at tendance in England reached three millions, more than doubling the attendance of six years previous. But this attendance by no means covers the ground. The people are indifferent to schooling and often avoid it. The schools are not free as they are in this country They are open to all who can pay the fees of from two to twenty cents per week. Those who cannot afford to pay this can be admitted to the schools, but they are obliged to proclaim themselves essentially paupers. The aggre- gate fees paid by the school children of Eng land amount to about S4, 500. GOO. This comes out of the respectable poor, as those who are able to educate their children at private schools do so. The paupers do not pay at all, and the poor people who do not wish to be regarded paupers manage somehow to dodge the schooling.
 This is not very creditable showing for old England The sooner schools are made really free in that country the better it will

Chance placed Arthur Moreland in the next seat to me at the 'tEvangeline" initial Thursday night. He has aged much and wears mournful expression, ill becoming a face that was so long wreathed with smiles, when with burnt-eork mask he pivoted the San Francisco minstrel semicircle. The dis solution of that admirable organization still preys upou his mind, and while the drummer was testing his heads between acts, Arthur harped on his favorite subject. He told ne a story about Charley Backus which think has never before appeared in type. It was when Peter Gilsey was alive. Backus and Gilsey sat in the Gilsey House cafe. It was bitter cold outside the mercury just better ing the zero mark. The conversation turned upon the stern dictates of fashion in regard to male attire,

FOR REPREsENTATIvEs.

The convention of New Haven Republicans which met Saturday evening to nominate candidates for the office of representative did it's work well. It placed before the voters 8 ticket whose members cannot be charged with any lack of fitness for the office for which they are nominated.
 The nominees need no introduction to the voters of New Haven. General Frank D. Sloat has had much to do with public life and has adorned every public office he has held. He is good business man, has sound judgment, and is 8 good speaker. If he should be elected he would have much indu- ence and partly make up for the meagre rep resentation allowed New Haven. r. Eli Whitney, jr., is one of the prominent young business men of the city. He is a hard and effective worker, and during his his connection with the city government he has earned an enviable reputation for good sense and carefulness. He would make an excellent legislator.
 The Republicans of New Haven owe these gentlemen their hearty and unanimous sup port. And those who are not Republicans would not harm New Haven by voting for

How beautiful are the above lines uttered by the worlds greatest mind :! How infinite the scope of mans power if his facul- ties are we'll preserved. Nothing, short Of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost in admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Infinite Pow CT. Yet what is this quint- essence of dust when blast- ed by disease-his noble functions perverted or des- troyed?
 AS Gall men arc born free and equal,' as far as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically, but as long as children must suf- fer for the sins of their parents this can E be. That the human race has deteriorated physically is conceded question. To re- store it is an impossibility, as long as people persist in iinmor- ality and indulgencies which are in disregard of natures laws. The most we can do then is to ameliOrate this condition and cure disease in individuals. To this end we offer to the pub- lie remedies which have done more good, accomplished better results in Overthrowing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz:
 DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE AND NERVE PILLS.
 The former is an infailibIe rem- edy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous PrOstratiOn, Depression caused by OverWork, etc. These remedies are extensive ly prescribed by physicians, a. recommendation which does not obtain with any other proprie- tary article, and command at the hands of. the druggists in New England larger sale than any ether medicine.
 IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE ECOMPLAINT THAT THEY FAILED TO DO WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we hold is an unparalleled record of success, and the strongest proof of their excellence. As positive evidence we have thousands of testimonials which we will be pleased to show, but which space prevents publishing. The trial of one bottle will be sufficient to satisfy you that we make no false claims. A valuable pamphlet will be mailed free upon appIica- ti0n.

Convention meets at Harrisburg to-day
to nominate candidate for State

publicanism pure and simple more be-

short Mr.. Quay is q machine politician,
one who understands working up
things to bring certain results. The
machine politician takes advantage OF
primary elections and while the old

plough or attending to manufacturing

cal reform, but never thinking of the
primary election, Quay and men Aike
him are at work amongst the easily in

sure to attend the primaries and vote
acc ccording to instructions. 1t Is be-
lieved that this is the manner in which
Quay has gained his present sscen-
dency as the leading candidate for the
Republican nomination for State Treas
urer. II he is nominated he may be
expected to lose q large number of Re-
publican votes which is to be very much
regretted. Three years ago the same

State and though as good, brave and
pure a man as General Beaver was

ACCORDING to reports from San
Francisco, Cal ifornia, the Chinese Re-
striction law is another OF those laws
that do not meet the end desired. The
San Francisco Bulletin is authority for
saying that 800 Chinese landed in
that city between August 1st, when
the restriction act went into effect, and
July 18th, 1854, when the amended re-
striction act was passed. From the
latter date until july 6th. 1885, over
100 ChiRese laDdeu, or 400 more in
one year under the amended acs than
under the original act in twenty three
months.
The increase fraudulently obtained Ger
titicates is the explanation given by the
Bulletin. 1t may we'll be asked
whether prohibition does prohibit while
we have such positive evid ence to the
contrary.
