In the Philadelphia public schools $4,000
girls receive instruction in the necessary ac-
complishments of sewing, cutting and darn
ing This branch Of instruction was intro
duced into the schools about one year ago, and
the results so far seem satisfactory. Whether
the knowledge gained in this way WILL when
given practical trial, prove to be Of the same
imperfect character as that which results from
the attempt to teach bookkeeping, or the

New ORLEANS justice, with good grip on
the murderers of Ford by assassination in the
street, has been able to do a little as side is
sue while awaiting the hanging of the con-
demned. The City Council had been ordered
by court to pay certain expenses contracted
during the prosecution of the assassins, and
seven members had refused to allow any
action to be taken in compliance with this
order. The court held them for contempt
and each was fined $50 and sentenced to ten
days in the parish prison. A writ of habeas
corpus saved them for time, but the Su-
preme Court decided against their appeal, and,
on Monday, they were placed in Jail, accord
ing to sentence. The people of the Crescent
City are to be congratulated.

of the committee of one hundred
| at Cincinnati, after an investigation extend
ing over weeks, gave it as his deliberate
opinion that in the late election there 'fthe
only organized fraud against the registration
and election laws has been within the Demo
cratic party" He aiso declared that ''the
only organization shielding and protecting the
perpetrators of fraud is also within the DEM
ocratic party" This is a grave arraignment
by man who has been and expects to remain
Democrat. It has been demonstrated be-
yond the possibility of successful contradic-
ton that some one broke into the ballot
boxes at Cincinnati and changed the totals
on the tallysheets, in order to ''elect" certain
Democratic candidates in Hamilton county,
the ultimate purpose being to fraudulently
return another Democratic senator from Ohio.
Exactly the same kind Of fraud was attempt
ed at Columbus, apparently under direction
OF the same men and for the same purpose
There is enough in all this to arouse the in
dignation of honest men in all parties. What
hope is there for honest Democrats if the
wealthy men of their party can buy up the
men they need in the Legislature9 And what
hope is there for State and Nation if charac-
terless scoundrels be allowed to practice their
villainies without fear of punishment If
Henry B. Payne can buy his way to the Sen
ate, Henry B. Payne or any. other man of
wealth can buy such legislation as he wants.
And if ballot-box suffers and election
fxers. can have their own will and
can cheat their way into places
where they can realize on their honor, then it
is useless for honest men to take the trouble
to vote, and popular elections become an ex-
pensive farce. Unless Senator Payne can dis
prove these charges he must 60 into history
literally buried in infamy, from which all the
wealth of the world would not deliver him.
1t is the duty of every honest man to insist on
the fullest and most impartial investigation of
this case, and unless Mr.. Payne can clear
himself from these charges of perfdy, he
should be expelled from the Senate as unfit to
sit with honorable men. This is the only safe
course for honest citizens above such villainy
and anxious to keep the government up to
that high standard that alone can insure its
perpetuity.

''READ it again, and read it slow, Mars T.
Davy," said Pegotty, when Copperfeld had
finished reading the letter from Little Emily
He couldn't understand, couldn't believe the
awful import it only too plainly conveyed
The good people of Indianapolis, dazed in
somewhat the same manner, read and re-
read the report of the proceedings of the last
meeting of the Board of Aldermen. A reso-
luton is drawn up, read and passed by that
body, in due form, to the effect that any
member of the Council or Board Of Aldermen
who appears in the Council chambers under
the influence of liquor shall be fined in any
sum not more than $25 nor less than SIS.
A second reading of this order
will cause Americans to entertain
more charity toward the writer
wit, who was bold enough to offer criticism
of American manners The passage of such
an order conveys the impression that it has
been the custom, or it has happened often
enough to provoke formal action, for certain
members to appear at meetings in an intox-
icated condition. And, as if this were not
enough, another member caused an order to be
passed forbidding the practice of smoking
during the session of the board. It is a dis
grace and shame that such orders are needed
to control the conduct of gentlemen honored
by election as city Legislators.

dollar of 412 IL grains has the ira

dollar Of 412 liz grains has the ira
dition of the fathers as to its value
and also the enactments Of law. The idea
that there should be added more silver to the
dollar-say to make it 4SO grains is prepos-
ferrous. How often is the change to be made
between the silver dollar of 412 IL grains
900 fne-and the gold dollar of 25 $40
grainsf Shall it be every day, or month, or
year in which there shall be variation in the
London, New York or Paris market between
the intrinsic values of gold and silver? No.
What should be done, and done at once, is
the passage Of an act abolishing the conpul-
sorry coinage of silver. The standard of
values between the two metals, gold and sill
yer, may or may not enter into the ques-
ton of the issue of gold and silver
conformity by future legislation, but the "Sil-
yer man, the man who wants to enhance the
price of silver and make it the measure of a
dollar, by the stamp of the United States
added, is the very first man who should cry
out against compulsory coinage. There is no
compulsory coinage of gold, or greenbacks, or
national bank notes, and the value of these
several issues is firmly fixed and established;
but the value of the silver dollar is not fixed,
because it is ordered by statute that an addi-
tional sum of at least 100000 per
month shall be added to the silver
currency of the country. A currency
or metal value not redeemable in anything
The issuance of gold, and especially of silver
certificates is another measure of evil Why
should the United States issue silver certif-
Gates for the deposit of silver any more than
it should issue warehouse receipts for the de-
post of corn or wheat? There might as we'll
be steel rail certificates, or pig-iron certif-
Gates. What is needed is to give the silver
dollar fair chance with all the other dollars;
not to handicap it in the interest Of specula-
tors. Our word for it. that when it is left to
itself it will take care of itself with the best
dollar the world can put against it.

COMMODORE TRUxToN is the toady who
painted out the inscription on the guns at the
Norfolk navy-yard, and effaced the inscrip-
ton on the dry-dock, and discharged ex-Union
soldiers to give employment to ex-Confed-
crates. The explanation doubtless is that the
old fossil thought he could obtain more
social recognition from the first fam
lilies of Virginia" by means of
this disloyal servility. Whatever
the truth, it is well for the country to have
it, in obedience to the resolution of Mr.. Bou-
telle. The next thing to do will be to aban-
don the stripes in the national flag because

perpetuity.

No apology is needed for the action of the
seat the Democratic delegates from Hamilton
county. The infamy of their attempt to take
seats in the Legislature could only have been
made greater by making success of it. 1t
has been demonstrated beyond the shadow Of
doubt that in one precinct in Cincinnati more
than enough votes to elect were credited to
these men, the day after the election, by chang
ing the totals, some scoundrel making a
bungling attempt to make a ''9' out of ''7",
so as to make the Democratic total read 1926
instead of 1926" as it was when the votes
were counted. These 200 "votes" were need
ed to ''elect" these men, and hence the
attempt to get them in this easiest
and least expensive way. To cover
and divert attention from this infamy, the
Democratic press set up yell of fraud in
other wards. as possibly there was; but here
was fraud published, and there could be no
question about it, To have ignored it would
not only have seated men not elected, but
would have put premium on election scoun-
drelism. If the impudent pretenders who
were contemplate enough to lay claim to
office under such circumstances could have
been kicked out of the Capitol, the example
would have been wholesome and the indignity
well merited. It is a pity that such frauds
cannot always be exposed as thoroughly, and
as thoroughly defeated.
