ALLEGED BAD MANAGEMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Monday
published a siX-column article on the
management of soldiers orphans schools
OF this State, which alleges not only
official discrimination, neglect, and cor
ruption, but also that a syndicate is
prohtting at the rate of $4,000 a year
In the management of four of the
schools. The article says:

some twenty-five or thirty pupils have
been deprived of schooling for three
months or more upon some pretext.
Twelve children were crowded in to a

JOHN B. COUCH DEAD.

John B. Cough died, in Philadelphia,
Thursday, 18th inst, at o'clock, sur
rounded by his own and DR.. Burns
family. The body was taken to Wor-
cester, Mass, for interment.
John B. Cough was born at Sandgate,
Kent, England, Aug. PS, 1917. His
father was Pensioner of the Peninsular
war, and his mother a village school
mistress. At the age of I2 he came 10
the United States as an apprentice, and
worked also on farm in Oneida county,
y. 7. In 1881 he came TO New York
city, where he found employment in the
Methodist book establishment ;but habits
Of dissipation lost him this employment,
and reduced him TO that of giving recl.
tations and singing comic songs at low
grog shops. He had been married in
1880. but his drunken habits had reduced
him to poverty and dellrum tremens,
and probably caused the death of his
wife and child. A benevolent. Quaker
Induced him to take the pledge, and he
attended temperance meetings and re.

VETERANS AND THE ORPHANS.

Philadelphia Times: The Grand
Army of the Republic will make an in
yestigation of the charges against the
management of the soldiers orphans
schools Of this State. Department
Commander General up. Goblin reached
Philadelphia Wednesday morning, and
after consultation with Grand Army
officials appointed the following COM
mittee of investigation:
Louis Wagner, Philadelphia; William
McClelland, Pittsburg; Ezra II. Ripple,
Scranton; William II. Jones, U-illiams-
port, and A. c. Reinphl, Lancaster.
In connection with the naming of the
committee General Goblin issued this
general order:
"The Soldiers Orphans Schools of
Pennsylvania have been founded with
the holiest and most patriotic purposes,
and their success in every particular
being a matter of vital Importance, not
only to every citizen of the Common
wealth, but more especially to that class
of our citizens comprising the member
ship of the Grand Army of the Republic,
the charges recently made in the public
press against these institutions are
deemed of sufficient Importance to
warrant the Department Commander
in appointing, in behalf of the Grand
Army of the Republic, committee of
investigation. They are requested to
proceed at the earliest possible moment
to the several schools and make
critical personal examination of every
thing connected with their management,
the care and treatment of the pupils
and such other matters as are necessary
to the good government of the schools
and proper compliance, both in letter
and spirit, with the law instituting and
maintaining them. The law governing
the schools has not placed upon the
Grand Army OF the Republic any re-
sponsibility either for their management
or the enforcement of the laws govern
ing them, beyond that resting upon
every citizen Of the Commonwealth who
is interested in her institutions and
proper observance of her laws; but in
order that this investigation may be full,
thorough and complete every citizen and
particularly members Of the Grand Army
OF the Republic. are requested to aid the
committee by every means in their power
and furnish such information as they
possess"
Authority to prosecute the investisa-
ton is expected from Governor Patti
son in few days.

MoRR1soN's TARIFF BILL.

Mr.. Morrison introduced his tariff bill
In the House OIL the 18th inst. He says
that II will effect a reduction of about
$4,000, 900 in the revenues from the
customs, based on the revenues Of last
year. The greatest reduction on any
one article is in the case Of sugar, where
the new duty will result in a decrease of
100000 900 in the receipts. The adj
ditions to the free list will involve a loss
Of $500, 900, and the reductions made
by the bill on other articles about S5,-
100000. All wood and lumber not
dressed Is put on the free list, with the
provision that the abolition of the duty
Is not to apply to any wood or lumber
imported from country which i'm
poses an export duty on those articles,
as Canada now does. Other additions
to the free list are hemp, jute, jute
butts, sisal, and other fibre, grasses,
coal, salt, iron, lead, copper and other
ores, s,unmanufactured stone, ,chiccory, and
other substitutes for coffee, corn. oats,
hay, potatoes, extract Of hemlock, and
other barks, crude glycerine, indigo ex-
tracts, sulphate of barytes, unmaRufac-
tured crude borax, saltpetre, logwood.
and other dye woods, ochrey earths, and
unwrought clays.
On the various grades of sugars there
Is q general reduction of 20 per cent.
but this reduction does not apply to any
sugars on which an export duty is lev
led, as now in Cuba.
On the finer grades Of cotton goods,
the duties on which are ad valorcm, no
changes are made, but the duty on
coarse cottons is reduced from 40 to So
per cent.
The duty on pig iron is reduced from
$6.72 to $500 per ton, and on steel and
iron rails from about SIT to $3.50.
There is slight reduction on bar iron,
and on some varieties of boiler and hook
iron; while others are just touched. The
rate on structural iron and steel is re-
duced from l 1-2 cents to cent per
pound. 90
The three highest classes of crockery
now pay duties of 60, 55 and 80 per
cent. The bill reduces them to 30, IS,
45,psr cent. These grades cover all or
dinary table crockery.
The reduction on all kinds of common
window glass amounts to about 20 per
cent. Some of the plate-glass duties are
left untouched, but in some classes,
where the duties arc now very high,
small reductions are made.
There is slight reduction on starch
and large reduction on rice, duties of
and 2 1-2 cents pound being cut to
! "a and l cent. About 90 per cent. is
taken of linens, baggings, &c.
There is no reduction on woods, except
that one grade of carpet woods at $40
cents pound is substituted for two
grades as at present taxed at 2 1-2 and
8 cents. The only change in woollen
goods is small reduction on the cheaper
qualities of woollen cloth. where the
ad valorem equivalent of the duty is
now very high.

A REMARKABLE HISTORY.

Guizot is the Macaulay of the History
Of France. His narrative Is full of
emotion like a quick stream; his char
acters rise before us as in the flesh; they
are men and women, not historic lay
figures. 1t is as charming as any ro-
nance. 1t is a work to read and re-
read. The new edition just published
is worthy of the work. Though reduced
In price from $4,000 to 5000 the 427 IL
lustrations are all there, superb in quail
ity; the type is large; the binding is
thoroughly excellent and tasteful. Every

rcading-the work ought to be owned in
every home. We have made an ar
rangement with the publisher by which
we are able TO offer this work, GUIzoTs

1t is q sorrowful week through which
we have just passed, and one that will
not soon be forgotten. Hancock dead !;
Horatio Seymour dead; the news flashed
over the wires that Henry Watterson is
in mortal danger, and that John Kelly
stands on the borders of the valley of
the shadow of death. And even across
the river in our sister city-Wincheste
Britton, lawyer of great repute, who
had filled many important public stat
ions, and whose urbanity and generosity
had endeared him to thousands, rises in
the morning apparently in good health,
and in less than an hour he stands in
the presence of his Maker. OF the case
of Mr.. Kelly it is impossible to think
without feeling of sadness. He has
tllled SO large space in the public eye,
and has so long been in position to
have commanding influence in our
public affairs that 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that the man whose word was law
to thousands-who ruled with a rod of
iron the most turbulent element in our
city, enforcing by his unbending will
the most implicit and. seryile obedience
will never be seen as an important
factor again among the haunts of men.

yet; but quietly waiting for the sum-
mons, which has less terror for him,
than the life he has endured for the past
year.
There are few public men who have
been so completely and thoroughly mis-.
understood as John Kelly. 1t was his
misfortune to come prominently into
public life at the downfall of the Tweed
Ring; he assumed the vacant throne and
sceptre of that malodoTous politician
and as consequence shared in the
odium and inVective that followed that
great criminals downfall. Nothing
could be more undeserved than the
abuse and contumely which was heaped
upon him for his administration OF
Tammany Hall, and there is no gain.

said one exceedingly good thing in that
line at Gettysburg. At a certain stage

1858 he was engaged bv the London
Temperance League to lecture two years
in the United Kingdom, where he drew
large crowds by his earnest, amusing

again visited England, where his work
