Gle from the Fort Worth GAZETTE, under
the head OF can Important Ohlcial,'
that WIN repay careful reading aud con-
sideratlou. In the hubbub Of political!
enthusiasm, men frequently overlook the
interests that lie nearest their own doors.
Education is a matter Of high social and
political importance. The future standing
Of our state depends upon the OPP
portunities given her children, and
the efficiency of their training. Teaching
is q science. a good system of education
IS study. The man who, being educated,
imagincs he can 20 forth aud educate
others whenever he is called upon to do
so, is scarcely less deceived than the man
who imagincs he is physician because
he has been cured Of several diseases.
ANY lawyer Of moderate ability can mas
ter the school law az laid down upon our
statute books, "and carry on the bust-
ness routine OF the ohlce,' but the study
OF law will never give him many broad
ideas of school government nor an nccn-
rate understanding Of tue details OF an
educational system. We want teacher
for our state superintendent OF education.
But we don't want dreamy professor,

LABOR STATISTICS.
Seme Opinions of Carroll ID. Wright, the New
National Commissioners.

SEINE Opinions of Carroll ID. Wright, the New
National Commissioners.
Boston Herald
Col Carroll d. Wright, the present chief of
the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of Labor,
and who has just been appointed by President
Arthur to be the head of the national Bureau of
Statistics, was visited yesterday by arepresenta-
tive of the Herald, when the following converse
lion occurred:
when was the first effort made to establish a
rational bureau of laborP
II do not remember precisely, but should say
about six years ago. / think Senator Hoar then
introduced bill looking to the establishment of
such an Office; it may have been since then, but
that is my memory on the subject"
when was the bureau of labor at Washing
ton established by law3'
Gin June last"
ssWhat classes or movements have axes to
grind in such bureauP
Generally speaking, none. but every man and
every association having theories to support add
yocate the collection and publication Of facts in
the hope that they will support the theories ad-
yanced, and usually statistical efforts result In
giving some crnInbs of comfort to each side IN
any controversy. The most impartial statistics
and those most carefully collected and digested,
are very apt to furnish arguments for the use of
advocates of various and even opposing theories.
In this lies one of the best tests of the impair
TALLY of the investigation, for partial invest-
gator or statistician would feel in duty bound to
back up his own theories or those of his party.
SO, if the national bureau of labor is conducted
on scientific and impartial basis, there will be
no grindstones in it en- which the axes of any
party can be sharpened."
'aVhat are the chief needs and uses of such q
bureau"
Primarily the collection and dissemination of
knowledge relating to the industrial forces of the
country. Statistics belong to the educational
xecrk of society; the needs of a bureau belong to
the needs for education The uses are in dissi-
pating false ideas Only few years ago many
men thought the so-caled labor question could be
solved throsgh legislative enactment or through
the adoption Of some special solution, or sup
posed solution, but to-day, through the results
coming from Investigation, the better under
standing of conditions and the more intelligent
appreciation of economic forces. most men have
concluded that the labor question, like all other
questions affecting society, must agree with the
uGorai and intellectual growth of society itself

BEHEADED BY A TRAIN.
A Farmers Rashness Results i'm His Meeting
Death in Frightful Form.

The New York express on the Wand ia road,
due here about O'clock, yesterday afternoon
ran over and killed man whose name could not
be learned, near Reelsvlle, Putnam county, the
accident being most horrible in it's nature The
man who was killed was driving in a sleigh with
companion, and although warned by the
other not to make the attempt, endeayored to
cross the road in front of the train, which was
approaching at the rate of forty miles an hour.
His companion jumped from the sleigh before
reaching the crossing, and escaped death. The
sleigh was struck full broadside and smashed to
atoms, one of the horses being killed as well.
The man was instantly killed, his head
being completely severed from his body.
and carried nearly hundred yards to a bridge,
through which it fell into creek, and was after
wards found quite distance below the point
where it fell The body was thrown off on the
side of the track, and was horribly mutilated.
The dead man was farmer who lived eight
miles from Reelsville and had family of ten
children.

suits Of the knowledge I have Indicated
Specifically the uses of national bureau can be
made of great value to the industrial interests of
the country, and to the consumers by the careful
collection, analyses and publication of data rela
tive to the supply of products and the demand
for the same and, IN time, in SO advising the
public that corners and other speculative de-
vices by which trade is disarranged and the con-
sumer suffers viii become less and less profitable
or possible. The uses of such bureau may be
as extensive as the intelligence Of its admins
tration ard OF the people Of the country may
combine 10 secure"
'sWhat are the dangers or evils which may
follow from its ignorant unwise or selfish ad-
ministrationa"
1.-THE bureau, under such an administration as
you have indicated in your question, would be
the most dangerous iastrumenthhty in the whole
range of the government; provided it's executive
officers had the confidence of the people it could
delade them into the adoption of all sorts of in
dustrial and social vagaries; it could do much
through the vicious use of pretended Facts to-
ward defeating this or that party, and it could
widen the supposed breach. or any quasi breach
between the interests of labor and capital.
Such thing could not become very extensive,
because to bring about such evils presupposes
confidence in the bureau If the bureau should
not preserve confidence in it, it would not be a
dangerous fundamentally, but would become
simply nuisance. If its administration sought
to aid any particular party, or to sustain any
particular theory, it would not only become
dangerous, but would destroy its usefulness.
No great good can come out of such bureau
through any administration of it that is not fear
less, impartial and scientific"
How can it help the laboring classes2"
SIT can help them by bringing to them wider
knowledge of the forces which belong to in
dustry. IL the laborer and his employer can be
taught that their interests are not as they have
always been told, identical but are, on the other
hand, reciprocal; much has been done to secure
industrial peace If he can learn through in
vestigatien that he has perfect right to strike,
but learns at the same time that he usually
strikes when his action may be welcome, and
that he dissipates his force by such action, he
will certainly be the gamer If he can learn
through investigation that wages are the result
of laws outside the control of himself and his
employer. he has learned much toward securing
his own comfort. If his employer can learn
that with broad, humane Christian treatment
which is epitomized by the golden rule, he re-
ceives better and surer dividends and that his
works and his enterprise are safer and more
secure, the laborer has been helped in an,inesti-
mable degree. These are few of the directions
through which aid can be brought to the labor
ing classes by bureau of the kind in question"

Delivery.
Washington Special
The first free delivery postal system in the
territories will go into effect at Salt Lake C1ty,
March l. Il was brought about in a curious
manner. About a year ago, letter was received
at the department here from a Mormon LADY,
whose husband is a prominent polygamlst
of Salt Lake. She complained that letters ad-
dressed to her as plain Mrs. Blank, were as liable
to be opened by any of the othar of the half
dozen Mrs. Blanks in the family as
herself, although she was the only one
of the number who had any correspondence
whatever. She therefore requested Gen.
Gresham to inaugurate the free delivery system
in order to relieve her and other ladies' similarly
situated, from this embarrassment. Noattentlon
was paid to her appeal, and the matter was
speedily forgotten. When Frank Hatton be-
came Postmaster general Mrs. Blank addressed
a second communication to the department., en-
bodying her grievances as above Mr.. Hatton,
who is probably more chivalrous than his prede-
cessor, found upon investigation that the bus1-
ness of the Salt Lake Office justified the increased
expenditure and on Monday last letter was
forwarded to Mrs Blank, stating that as soon as
the necessary arrangements could be made the
system she desired should be adopted.

WAsHINGToS. Jan. 24.-The Baltimore Sun

president Arthur yesterday nominated Bre-

captain and assistant quartermaster, to be
major and quartermaster This promotion nee
essariiy leaves a vacancy in the grade of cap
tain AS soon as Col Rockwells promotion
was determined upon the President Immediately
notified Mr.. Frederick Grant that he could have
the appointment if he desired Owing to the
fact that Mr.. Grant was an applicant for an APP

was supposed that the offer would be readily
accepted. Not SO, however Yesterday the
President received communication from Mr..
Grant politely declining the appointment. Two
reasons are given for the defamation of the offer
by Mr. Grant 1t is said that he does not wish
to be put back in the army in advance of his
father, Gen. Grant. The other reason is that he
is heavily involved in debt and to go back into
the army would prevent him from working his
