want to say how much we were struck with
the beauty Of Boston. Tho situation In lovely. The
architecture Of the town. both early and recent full
of distinction, whereas New York has not achieved
much in the architectural sense. until quite lately
There is genuine antiquity about Boston. It looks
serene and solid Gazing out on the Charles River

Initiative with regard TO appropriation bills
~ 1t shrank from sacrificing the bulwarks
reared by the founders OF the Union against
tho deadly inroads OF oentralizipg spirit.
Tho Judges and the lawyers Of JAMES I.
and CHARLES l. wore never ut loss to find
colorado pretexts for evasions Of tho law In
antecedcnt legislation, and what between the
avowed Federalists, Republicans, and sham
Democrats. the records OF the lower House
can DO made to disclose precedents for a.
most any violation Of the plain meaning and
intent OF the Constitution. But by returning
Democrats. real or pretended, TO majority
OF the seats In that chamber tho people have
commanded their representatives to look
more sharply to their duties and their rights,
to reclaim the ground disloyally surrender
cd. TO establish counter precodents, and bring
about vigorous reaction against the con-
tralizing tendencies Of the last twenty years.
Tint is tho urgent, the imperative business Of
Democrat In Congress; and he who betrays
them In that paramount concern should be
drummed out OF camp by his constituents.
It Is not pleasant to record that OF the 1877
Representatives who voted to lay on the table
Mr.. HURD's motion to examine tho right Of
tho Senate to originate bill dlsbursing
hundred millions Of dollars, for an object
totally unwarranted by the Constitution,
O third call themselves Democrats. On what
ground, pray, do such men take that honored
name? Is 1t because. like many soured Re-
publican who would not abjure jot OF his
Tedoralist principles. they saw 1T to vote for
Mr.. CLEVELAND. for q man, In other words,
the quality and fibre OF whose own Democ-
racy Is yet to DO determined? They will
learn sooner or later that 1t takes more than
voting for Mr.. CLEVELAND to make Demo-
crat Of tho true stamp like Mr.. HURD. Wore
1t otherwise. tho history Of the United States
would be a lie. and tho whole system OF party
government despcabe farce.

Mr.. Hurd Goes Out with Flying ColOrs.

Real Democrats throughout tho country
will DO grateful to Mr.. HURD for his deter
mined and nearly successful attempt on FRI
day to kill tho BLAIR Education bill In the
House OF Representatives. We have not
been able to approve Of Mr.. HURDs uncom-
promising hostility to the protection OF ma
tive industry; but we recognize that Demo-
Gratis should now DO free, as they always
have been, to differ on that question. To
the fundamental, vital principle which alone
justihes the life and defines the mission
OF the Democratic party, Mr.. HURD is nd
mirably loyal; and on this ground, which
ought to transcend all other considerations,
his constituents and the whole American
community will have reason to deplore
deeply his absence from tho next Congress.
When they remember what rank Federalism
has been avowed in connection with this
very bill by Senators protesting to represent
the Democratic party, men who believe In
zealously uphoidIng the reserved rights OF
the States and vigilantly guarding what Is
left of the Constitution. cannot afford to lose
Mr.. HURD's unwavering support OF the JEFF
fersonian traditions.
Tho special plea on which Mr. HURD based
his effort to postpone and thus virtually de-
feat. the BLAIR measure was NO less con-
sonant with the soundest Democratic doc
trine than is the potent general objection to
the purpose and consequences OF the bill. He
denied that tho Senate had any right to
originate appropriation bills, since such ac-
tion Involves IN obvious and dangerous en-
croachmcnt on the initiative power over the
public purse lodged by tho organic law in
tho direct representatives of tho pco-
plo. 1t is true that the popular branch
Of Congress has sometimes been neg
lectful OF It's trust, that IL has
failed to repe invasions Of its provocative
with the needed wlrncss and lrmuess, and
that by occasionally sanciionng some iGcon-
siderable appropriations by tho Senate for
specific purposes 1t has connycd at the crca-
ton OF unwholcsomo precedents During

party, the lower House, which alone n citi-
zen OF modest means has now any hope OF

MIR. De Voc and tho Board OF Education.

A teacher asks us to say something in de-
sence OF School Commissioner DE Voc. who,
he thinks Is very badly treated by his asso-
ciates OF tho Board Of Education.
But probably Mr.. DE Voc can fight his
own battles. and very likely he enjoys the
contests he has with his fellow Commission
ors. Nor con he expect to bring about the
needed reforms In our school system without
encountering much and bitter opposition.
Tho abuses he would correct IRE OF long
standing and are deep seated; and whenever
they arc attacked crowd Of people who arc
interested to have them continue hurry to
their defence.
For instance, the large corps Of Professors
In the Lexington avenue college are oil
anxious to silence criticism OF It's methods,
and to magnify both their own importance
and the Importance OF tho institution. So
also the instructors In the Normal College
at once rise in revolt when any changes In
its management are suggested; and they
are moro especially united In their oppo-
sition to every proposal to make 1t what 1t
was intended to be. n practical normal school
for the sole purpose Of training teachers for
the public schools.
II a proposition to simplify the course Of
study In the grammar schools is made,
the teachers OF special branches are Of
course in arms against 1t. The greater the
variety Of the branches taught, the larger is
the number OF instructors required. Pub
fishers OF the school books used are likewise
concerned to have no diminution In tho
quantity purchased. Tho greater the varl-
ETY. OF text books the better for them.
The present complication OF tho school
system also requires tho employment of a
great army of people who are all Interested
to have 1t kept up. II reforms such as Mr.
DE Voc advocates were carried out, their oc-
cupation would be gone. With q simpler
course OF instruction and with simpler ma
chinery hundreds Of mon who are now draw
ing salaries from the school fund could
easily DO dispensed with.
Mr.. DE Voc therefore has long and
hard fight before him II he intends to persist
In his efforts to introduce greater simplicity
into the management Of tho schools and the
course OF instruction. But tho end he is
seeking Is worth tho pains.
