In view Of the frequent Trades against the
public schools, and the preference of many
persons for sectarian and other private educa-
tional institutions, the remarks of Rabbi
Brown, Of New York, on the subject have a
novelty and breeziness which are quite re-
freshing. Said the Rabbi, in recent sermon
'If I had the power Of legislation in my
hand should enact law forbidding all pri-
vate schools, whether under the auspices of
religious corporations or private enterprise.
We must educate our citizens in our own
schools; and if the government saw fit to sup
press private postoffice establishment in this
city | can see no reason why we should not
stop private, religious and fashionable schools,
which are subversive of American citizenship
make Of our boys fops bigots and dudes, and
educate our girls to become female-suffrage

Always with coachmen and circus riders. Our
school teachers are our protectors. The motto

conquer the three RS. / read Monsignor
Capels recent remark that America has no
veneration, and her church will have to sup
ply that want. If the spirit Of veneration has
departed from our churches it has taken refuge
in our public schools"
The Rabbi is perhaps a little too severe in
his structures against the rivals Of the public
schools, but there is far more truth than poe
try in his remarks, after all

TRIUMPHS OF JUSTICE.

The courts of justice of New York city are
law and order. Justice is being meted out in
a manner encouraging the belief that law
breakers will no longer have their own way in
trampling upon the rights Of others. The SEN
tcnce of Patrolman Crowley for outraging an
innocent and defenseless girl was a remark
able triumph of justice. It was feared that
his position as an officer of the law would be
sufficient to protect him against the complaint
of his unhappy and Heretofore unknown VIC
tim. His sentence to fourteen years in the
penitentiary will have salutary restraining
effect upon other villains ike-minded. A like
sentence put upon Buddensiek, the rascally
builder ought to stop the reckless construc-
ton of death-trap tenement-houses. These
two cases resulted in victory for the people
against privileged classes like the metropolitan
police, and against moneyed men engaged in
speculation at the risk of human life.
These are now supplemented by two more
remarkable triumphs for justice. On June
drunken young man, bent on
showing off his "manhood' to two
older companions, maliciously collided
with an inoffensive and unoffending China
man, who, demonstrating against the insult,
was shot dead for his temerity. 1t looked
as though, as is usual in offenses against this
oppressed class Of citizens, the murderer
would either 60 acquit, or, by prolonged post
ponement of trial, secure some light sentence
wholly inadequate to the magnitude and
atrocity of the crime. But justice, still
aroused, laid its hand on the fellow, ard in
less than three weeks he finds himself within
the walls of the penitentiary, sentenced to a
lifetime Of hard labor. This is practically a
life for a life, and the American people, SO far

THE Indianapolis Sentinel does not propose

The Indianapolis Sentinel does not propose
to have its business corns trod on with i'm
punity The spirit in which it pays its re-
spects to State Senator Smith, of Jennings,
is ferocious if not commendable; and yet who
shall blame it for talking savagely, if it be
true that any man has been contemplate
enough to try and injure its business to
crafty personal spleen, to say nothing of the
involvement of official duty. 1t was Senator
Smith who made such paltry exhibition of
himself in the concluding hours of the late
General Assembly. BY the grace of his
Democratic colleagues, he is but two lives
removed from the Office OF Governor. The
charge the Sentinel brings against him, by
implication at least, is one that, if it can be
maintained, should deprive him of his Office as
ii should of public confidence.

as possible, have offered PREPARATION to the
friends and relatives of the murdered innocent
man. And finally justice has laid hold on an
offender in high place, man who held his
own with millionaires. The sentence Of ten
years pronounced against James D. Fish
means great deal. At his age, it is really a
life sentence.
To rejoice over such things is not
vindictive, nor does it spring from
any spirit Of revenge or cruelty.
Equal and answering justice is
the best friend Of law, and order, and public
safety. 1t is the surest guaranty of peace,
and is the foundation stone of religion and of
organized society. In the end, justice is more
merciful than that leniency that does not take
into consideration the rights, and privileges,
and happiness of all the people. From remot-
est times it has been held that the enforce
ment of penalties has restraining and whole
some influence. Many man is kept from
the sin of murder by the fear of the conse-
quences of his crime. Thus the life and
property Of the law abiding are kept from in
jury. Occasionally, of course, desperate and
constituencies men will break over the re-
strietions set up by law, and will rob, or kill
or injure, and it is against these and others
only less desperate that law is directed. Men
and women who act within the law, with no
thought or inclination Of breaking over it's
bounds, may congratulate themselves over
the virtue manifested by the New York courts
in the cases named. It is to be hoped that
the same star will remain in the ascendant

t''HE FIELD OF LITERATURE.

History of the People of the United States.
John Bach McMasters history, of which the
second volume is now issued by D. Appleton Is
Co., is attracting general attention. His style is
animated and engaging, and while carrying the
cables of history he does not neglect to follow
some of the threads that lead into the by ways
of the past which are SO fruitful of matters Of
interest to the reader of to-day. He gives a
charming insight to the manners and customs
of the period as he brings forward his subject
In this way his writings possess all the fascina-
ton of novel The following description Of
life in Georgia in 1890 will give an idea of what
is meant:
sit was hard indeed for the most favored village
to grow and thrive in Georgia. There the town
LIE or New England was unknown. Spots
which, had they been in Massachusetts. would
have been the sites of prosperous hamlets, were;
in Georgia parts of great plantations, where
small families lived in incidence and ease On
such estates the chief products were negroes,
rice and tobacco. The silk industry was neg
lected. Indigo was fast ceasing to be profitable I
Cotton was just beginning TO be extensively
grown. The staple was tobacco, and this was
cultivated in the simplest manner, with the
rudest of tools. Agriculture. as we know it, can
scarcely be said to have existed. The pillow was
little used The hoe was the implement of hus-
bandry. Made at the plantation smithy, the
blade was Uniformed and clumsy the handle was
sapling with the bark left on. After
a succession of crops had exhausted the
soil, the cow-pen was passed over
it: Few roads were ever marked by the tresi
of four wheeled wagon or a -tumbrel ]
When the tobacco was ready for the inspectors
mark, stout hogsheads were procured the leaves
packed, the heads fastened in, shaft and 3
rude axle attached, and one by one they were
rolled along the roads for miles to the tobacco
house nearest by There the merchants bought
them, sometimes with money, sometimes with
such goods as the planters wanted from over the
sea. The list was long one for not so much
as a broom was made in tho State The books
and the furniture, the harpschord and the
spinet, the wine, the linen, the china and the
shoes, all came in from abroad. The cards with

die on which the fine gentleman went to hunt,
were each of foreign make. Nor was there any

THE four-years term Of William Ell. Robert
son as collector of the port Of New York, ex-
pires to-day. He leaves the Office with clean
record, and certainly no collector ever left the
affairs of the Office in better shape. Judge
Robertson's administration of the custom
house has won praise from importers, mer-
chants, ship-owners and others for its honesty,
it's fairness, it's dignity and its uniform
courtesy. Taking care always to base his de-
cisions and his acts upon the law the outgoing
collector has studiously kept himself free from
controversies and personal disputes, and his
rare quality Of tact has enabled him to make
even adverse decisions without arousing the
ire of the persons whose causes were lost.

Praise for a Republican official from mug

would it net have been wise and patriotic to

that the appointment Of Mr.. Pearson cannot
be regarded as a reward of virtue, but 1sust be
rated as simply business like payment Of Il
political debt by the President to his helpers.
He simply used his prerogative to discharge a

lief that even others were possessed Of some
good qualities.

THE late Brahman minister, Keshub Chunder
Sen, expressed his belief that India would never
accept Christ in hat and boots In many parts
of India there is a profound conviction Of the
righteousness of clothing, and the fakirs are
distressed by the regulation clout upon which
the Indian government firmly insists. The
morality Of clothing is largely climatic, and the
costums Of each tribe the result of long
evolution. The Australians and Tasmanians
have been clothed and exterminated while the
North American Indians, retaining their
traditional customes, thrive, though both races
have been subjected to the vices and diseases Of
civilization. The women of nude tribe are the
last to adopt the fashion of clothes

DARK SIDES OF LIVERPOOL LIFE
The Scenes That nre Daily Witnessed In
the Great English City.

The slavery that enriches the Liverpool
of to-day is not so far removed from the city
itself, and hence it is not surprising that
the rich and fashionable prefer not to live
within the sound of its bells. With the sim
gle exception of some parts of London, the
poverty, vice and squalor Of Liverpool ex.
coed that of any English city. There are
miles of streets in which the inhabitants
seem to live in the most abject wretched.
ness. Walk down Scotland road and many
of the thoroughfares leading into it and you
will meet the most repulsive, the most de-
graded, the most wretcbed locking men,
women, boys and girls that can be found
anywhere. The tenements in which these
people live are shocking. 1t is no exaggera-
ton to say that thousands of these nine
teenth century slaves occupy less space than
is awarded corpse.
Low public houses, disreputable lodging
houses and noisome dens of all kinds
abound in these vile neighborhoods. The
magnificent shops and snowy equipages OF

land road and the lower quarters of the city.
The industrial population of Liverpool is
largely of the nautical class. Here we find,
too, the prevalence of the representatives of
unskilled labor, the poorest paid labor in
the kingdom. The city on the Mersey is
the depot and the point of departure of i'm
ports and exports, and the loading and un-
loading of ships and storing of warehouses
is the principal labor, employing what are
called Jumpers, cotton porters and carriers

try, and this may in part explain the caust
of the prevailing poverty. The statistics o
the local government show that pauperism,
crime and drunkenness prevail in a large
degree in Liverpool.
Among the most degraded and poverty
stricken classes in Liverpool are to be found
large numbers of women and young girls,
generally without shoes or stockings, ragged
petsicoats, an old shawl tied around the r
shoulders and uncombed hair falling down
th sir backs, carrying around for sale humps
of cooking salt, of soapstone, sandbags fol-
diaughty doors and windows and huge rolls
of deliberately cut tissue paper for pantry
shelves. The faces of these females only
become less sodden and brutal by contrast
with those of the men and boys who peddle
various cheap articles, which they either
carry round themselves or load on large
cart with tiny donkey oftentimes covered
with sores brought on by brutal treatment
and insufficient food. Compared with this
class in Liverpool the London costermongei
