LETTER FROM FAIRFAX.

correspondence Of the Alexandria GAZETTE
CESTREyILLE, Va, Nov. 2S.-Wc have some
what recovered from the great victory over Ma
hone and his cohorts, and we are at last rid Of the
vliticr forever
We only wish we had chance to puncturc that
national humbug civil service reform and send it
ont to the trashy seas, and we would crcc1 monu-
ment of the purcst marble to the two naughts
with the inscription, Sacred to the memory OF
Malone and civil service reform" the as
great as the other and held in equal esteem by all
good and true Virginians. We hope that tho
GAZETTE will continue to pour hot shot into tho
civil service reform and will see if 1T has
come to stay" Democrats need no reforming, for
they have just come into power, nor was tho law
enacted for them, but for the republicans who had
become so corrupt The President is bent on re-
tanning good many of them to try his pct hobby,
but he will see his error when he is rclegatcd to
private life: four years hence. There arc lew
civil service rctormcrs and there always will be,
for there arc few men that want Office, aud VIII
side with the powers that be.
Hon. John S. Barbour will not BIO the next
Senator, unless he forwards to Senator Sherman 4
check for $500 out Of the unexpcndcd balance of
the campaign fund. We believe that our repre-
sentative is square man, and will fork over to
one that contributed so much to our success.
Thisis the bannerdemocatic precinct and has been
standing up to the crib, corn no corn, but we
arc going to knock and it will be opened to u.s.
We want the superintendent of schools county
judge, and a few other soft places The election
OF Gen. Lee will cause immi gratcn and capital TO
pour into our State, in fact it has already begun
to tell. Your correspondent has just received al
order from an old bachelor of central Ohio, who
is 50 clated over our victory, that he wants Eir-
ginia lady for 4 wife. Who would have thought
that commodity would have taken rise? So we
may look for Il prcmium on old maids in the near

A Newspaper with No Night Editor.
boston Herald

La Correspondents ('sThe Correspond
ence'') OF Madrid, Spain, has the largest cir
calation OF any paper published In the cap
ital. Everybody reads IL, and from the uni.
versatility of its perusal il is fscetiously called
the Spanish Nightcap," because no one is
supposed to have gone to bed without hav.
Ing read IL entirely through. And it must be
read through, for IL is the most extraordinary
hodgep0dge and ollapodrida ever printed as
. newspaper. 1t is newspaper rather than
. paper of opinion. The staff consists of
dozen bright reporters and no editor. The
reporters scour the capital and pick up every
Item OF interest, cabinet recogoitions, the &C
cident to your washerwoman, the illness of
the King, the latest earthquake news, the
price OF eggs, the opening OF new cafe, a
Carlist rising in the North, the burglary of q
shop, an excursion party's adventures in the
mountains, the latest club scandal, the run-
ming away of horse. q convention of wine
merchants. every thing. in fact, that occurs
nd can be put In print. This is La Cores
pondencia- The reporters bring in their
news like 80 many bees coming homo honey
laden. They put their copy. written at the
clubs or hastily penciled in memorandum
books on the streets, into black leather bag
at the office When the composing room
runs out OF copy to set the foreman goes to
the block bag and helps himself to a hand
full Of the manuscript. 1t is all set and all
printed without any regard to order or typo
graphical display. You read it because you
know that in its crowded columns is every
thing of note occurring at the capital. You
read every line, for if you skip at all, the
very bit of news you want may be the one
you skipped. The circulation of this paper
is rated at 2e0, 600 daily, and on occasions at
800 900. 1t is the vivid portrait OF Madrid
life; the doings of the world of Spain are
pictured in its pages. Nothing is too small,
nothing Is too great for the reporters OF La
Correspondence. 1t is the ideal newspaper
composed Of news pure and simple.

youths companion.
Our public schools should be medically
cared for. What might have been proper
care once, is far from adequate now.
Diphtheria, the most fearful pest of our
homes, was, fifty years ago. one of the rar-
est OF diseases. Moreover, into huge school
houses are now crowded scholars often more
numerous than the population of our old
time villages, and that too. with the prob
lens of safe sc werage and adequate ventila.
ton by no means settled in practice.
These masses of young people are thus
brought together at an age of peculiar sus-
cepti5ility to contagious diseases, when
the disposition to social intimacy is strong
est. and when the subjects least know how
to care for themselves. The children from
the best hygienic homes are thus freely ex.
posed to contact with children from the
worst
In the first place, the legislation pertain
ing to this matter should be fully adequate.
We already have in some States LAYS that
allow readmission to the school of GONZALES
cents from contagious disease only after
danger OF communicating it has passed, as
certified by responsible physician. Such
laws should be universal. and be, in every
case, rightly enforced.
In the second place, in our cities and large
towns the schools should be looked after by
o competent medical adviser. Beside at
tending to other matters connected with the
proper protection of the pupils, the latter
should give them familiar lectures-or talks
ON matters of health and hygiene. and
from time to time during the year meet the
assembled teachers, and train them to intel
Hgent CO operation with him in the work.
In the third place, all other practicable
measures should be adopted to make the
teachers available helps IN the matter. The
Health Department OF Brussels lately pre-
pared . pamphlet containing brief instruc
tons ss to the first symptoms of infectious
diseases This has already bean translated
and introduced into the schools of Cleve-
land, Ohio. This will suggest our meaning.

Prepare for Failure.

A good Old teacher used to say that he did
not try to. prepare boys for success in life, ("
but for failurs. His opinion was that ''suc.

ponds upon natural gifts which school can
not create, or else upon favorable circum.
stances, such as rich father and influentia
friends. Hence, his position. often ex-
pounded, that the chief office of education
is to enable men and women to do without
success
Almost any one of good habits, he thought,
could enjoy existence upon twenty thou
Sand dollars a year. The difficult problem is
to be happy upon ten dollars q week. That
requires genuine manhood, high motive,
knowledge, taste, virtue, good sense, and in.
deed, all the rare qualities OF civilized men.
The rich man can possess a picture of sun.

he can keenly enjoy the distinction which
its possession gives him. There are men in

paniments OF glorious color and raptarous

A Lesson They We're Slow to Learn.

If reports of the last forty eight hours be true,
grave as were the obstacles which confronted a
solution of the problem involved in the negotia-
tions between the New York Central and the
Pennsy lvania interests. they have been sub
stantially overcome. The South Pennsylvania
and the Beach Creek will not belonger whetted for
the throat of the Pennsylvania; the West Shore
will be stayed in its favorite pastime Of piercing
the vitals of the New York Central and the be
ginning of the end of the suicidal trunk line
rivalry of the last few years seems to have
come. In short, President Roberts and Presi-
dent Vanderbilt have settled down to railway
basis such as they would adopt if they were en-
gagged in private enterprise and spending their
own money! lesson that great railway mana
gers have been maryelously slow to learn.
