of course, the leading topic of conversation.

The sidewalks were exceedingly slippery
yesterday, and it was with difficulty that
one could keep his feet The hills were al
CLASSY and smooth as iceburgs and it was
with difficulty that citizens could make their
way along the streets to attend to their bust

not venture off of Water street and took their
dinners at a hotel or restaurant. Pedestrians
generally when obliged to appear out, took
the center of the street, stunning the side,

Delaware Schools.

The following from the last number
of the Journal of Education, the lead
ing educational paper in America,
shows how Delaware's progress in edu-
catiOnal matters is received in Boston
"The latest report of the public school
system of the State of Delaware is a
more cheerful document than we have
recently seen from that quarter. We
learn from it that in all respects the
public school system has been gaining
ground within the past two or three
years. This is shown not only by the
increased numbers in attendance, but
by the additional appropriation for
schooling, the improvement in school
building, and the industry of school
officials. Especially has the change
been marked in the attention given to
the education of the colored youth of
the State.
Five years ago, outside of the city
of Wilmington, the State of Delaware
was behind every State of the South in
its care for cOlOred children and youth.
Within that time, owing largely to the
| earnest efforts of the late Superinten-
dent and other eminent schoolmen,
this great defect has been partially
remedied and the present report gives
a much more cheerful account of the
colOred department of the public
schools than ever appeared before.
The most notable lack seems to be in
the failure to appreciate the merits OF
the State University, which is reported
as containing less than hundred stu
dents.
"The little State of Delaware is des-
tined to a future which will leave all
its past achievements far in the shade
Its favorable situation, in the vicinity
of the larger cities of the Union, its
genial climate and rare adaptation tC
fruit culture and scientific agriculture
in general, is already attracting more
attention every year. Nothing viii
aid in this development more thor
Oughly than the present energy ant
spirit displayed by the school authOri
ties. The schools of Wilmington have
long been in excellent condition, owing
to the fidelity and ability of thei
superintendent, Mr.. Harlan, who, W,
are glad to see, still remains at thei
head"
Smyrna times., 1885-12-30
Senator Edmunds and Polygamy,

Senator Edmunds, in his first bill on
the subject of pOlygamy, only invoked
the little finger of the United States
Government in the work of suppress
ing the abomination. In his new bill,
which was reported by the Senate ju-
dietary committee on Monday, he pro-
poses to bring the whole administra-
ton right arm down upon the giant
evil in one crushing and exterminating
blow. The political power of Mormon
ism is to be assailed at all points and
short work is to be made on the pest
iferous law-breakers who have main
tanned for years a system of organized
opposition to the enforcement of a
righteous enactment.
The bill sets aside and annuls all
acts of the Utah Legislature and the
so-called State of Deseret which allow
female suffrage and enable illegitimate
children to inherit the fathers estate,
as well as those which provide that
prosecution for adultery can only be
begun on the complaint of the husband
or wife. 1t also provides for the man
agement of the church corporation by a
board of fourteen trustees, to be ap-
pointed by the United States, and di-
rects the Attorney General of the
United States to institute proceedings
to forfeit and escheat the property of
all corporations obtained or held in
violation of section $3.50 of the revised
statutes of the United States, which
limits their possessions of real estate to
fifty thousand dollars. 1t also makes
the husband or wife competent wit
nesses in cases of pOlygamy and COM
pels them to testify.
The passage and enforcement of this
act would make thorough work of the
extirpation of polygamy. 1t may seem
harsh to people who believe in letting
everybody do about as they please, but
it is none too sweeping to be thorough
ly effective. 1t is no kindness even to
the misguided and refractory polyga-
mists to attempt to suppress their pei
sin by halfway measures. They have
defed the law for nearly half a century
and the quicker they are taught to re
spect it the better for themselves anC
everybody else. Polygamy cannot be
allowed to fasten itself permanently
upon our social system and the quicker
and more heroically it is stamped ou
the better. The grass-throwing period
is passed and it is time the authorities
began to throw stones. Senator Ed
munds' new bill furnishes a plentiful
supply of this kind of amunition.-
