Meath az David Davis.

In the death Of ex-senator David Davis
the country loses a good man. He was
the subject of a large amount of ill-merited
ridicule and abuse. He was pointed out as
q straddler, when in fact he tried to he
fair. lie was of conservative disposition;
an original Republican and warm friend
of Lincoln. When Repubicanism became
rampant radicalism, and tried to engraft
war methods upon the peace period, he
broke with it and from it. He was almost
the candidate of the Liberal movement in
1872, and had he been named the result
might have been different. He had ju-
dicial mind, and had he remained on the
supreme bench he would have been the
fifteenth man on the electoral commission,
and its decision would undoubt,dl have
been for Tilden. As senator. elected to
preside and cast the deciding vote, he
behaved conscientiously and fairly to all
parties. He was an able as well as an hon
est man; and either party has some more
pronounced partisans in public places who
are of less use to the public and less
credit to their party than David Davis was
to the entire country.

HNu,e Of Refuge Cases.

We respectfully invite our esteemed
friends, the judges Of the court, to be more
circumspect in the examination of applica
tions to send boys to the House of Refuge
1t is not good place to send boy; and
unless he is far gone in criminal tendencies
and practices he will be the worse for being
sent there. Reformation of the offender is
the highest object of all criminal proceed.
ings against children under fifteen years of
age; they are not to be lightly invoked by
parents or other natural guardians who want
to get easy riddance of their responsible
ties. Alleged incorrigibility in a boy or
girl of ten or twelve is mostly a
sign of parental deficiencies, which are not
to be supplied by committal to the House
of Refuge. At least fair number of
those who are sent to this institution
would be proper subjects for admission to
the Children's s Home. We do not want to
see that well.managed institution be made
q Botany Bay for young criminals; but the
good women who direct it will cheerfully
give fair trial to children of tender years
whose unnatural parents or indifferent
relatives seek to get rid of them by shut
ting them up in penal institution. We
kindly invite the judges to confer with the
lady managers of the Home before they
send another child under twelve years of
age to the House of Refuge.

WHEN asked what great men ne had met

Grant replied, Beaconstield, Gambetta, Bis

all that is said OF him is true, is worthy of
being ranked as one of the four greatest living
meu, for he has won his position of viceroy of
the province of Pe-chi-ti by his own unaided
exertions, and is the aggressive leader of the
advanced and liberal men of China, in
defiance Of the fanatical opposition OF the peo.
pie and the emperor, he is urging the build.
ing of railroads and other civilizing meas.
ures The regent empress is his bitter enemy
and on one occasion ordered his decapitstion,
but the willy courtier brbed the guards with

tention to securing his personal safety and
now com mands the only well drilled force
in the country, takes along a body guard oi
10000 men whenever he visits Pekn and
having no fear OF the government he wields
the arbitrary power of a mandarin in most
enlightened fashion. '

Both Wings Flap Together.

After all the talk of Democratic discord
IN Congress, the caucus of the party meets,
considers carefully the condition of public
business, agrees harmoniously upon policy
and entrusts the direction of the business
OF the House for the remainder of the ses-
sion to the speaker, Mr.. Morrison, and Mr..
Randall. 1t does not seem probable there
will be any tariff debate, though Mr.. Ran
dali and his friends are quite ready to offer
and support the comprehensive bill they
have prepared if Mr.. Morrison and his
friends will accept it.
According to the accounts of this measure
which have been printed it reyises the tariff
pretty considerably, smooths out a good
many wrinkles, protects the administration
Of the tariff system from present frauds
and evasions, and includes substantially
the Hewitt bill for reform Of administra-
tion. A bill which graduates the present
duties on manufactured lumber puts rough
timber on the free list, also bristles and
jute butts makes straight specific duty
Of ten cents a pound on wool, classes wors.
teds with woolens, reduces the salt duty
one half, steel rails a. per ton, horse shoe
and wrought nails 40 per cent, structural
building iron 25 pei cent, and other classes
Of iron manufacture from 10 to 40 cents
can hardly be said to be no tariff revision.
The difference between the Randall
bill and the Morrison bill seems to
be one of quantity, chiefly in the tax on
wool. This is not a sufficient issue to
divide the Democratic party into two
hostile camps. 1t is neither as intense a
difference nor as essential an issue as that
of the silver question and we have got
over or around that without disntegra.

To all thoughtful people it must be evident
that our cast iron school system would he
much improved If it were more flexible. A
class taken at hap-hazard from all classes
of society is forced through the educational
mill without the least regard for
abilities or opportunities Some children
have homo surroundings that discourage or
prevent their study, some are gifted with
good memories, and some have poor mem.
ories but good minds. No matter, they
must all be pushed forward or held back that
the whole class may be on a level, and, by
examinations that bring fearful mental
strain on minds unfit to bear it, their ranks
are remorselessly dressed. Lunacy is in
creasing with alarming rspidity and thereby
hangs the tale.

WE fail to see that any point is made for
the anti-tobacco people by the declaration of
Rev. Mr.. Ayers, who is strict anti-tobac.
conist, that the savage man-eaters have too
much sense and good taste to eat flesh that
has become saturated by the weed, and the
tobacconized sojourners who fall into the
grasp of the anthropophagi are rejected as
really unfit for any well regulated savage
table. Such an announcement is calculated
to make the missionary take to smoking rank
cigars and plenty of them.

A dependent parent has equal, if not
greater, claims than the wife, who may
have been married but shortly before the
death of the pensioner. With some $ isnt
notifications the proposition to pension
soldiers and sailors disabled and dependent
on their own labor, or who are sjxty-two

its favor.
On the whole, l am in favor of dealing

To pirate necessarily of love for the
