The School Trustees of the First Ward are
shouldering q fearful responsibility in endan-
gering the lives of a thousand children, as tley
do every day, by refusing to put competent
man in charge of the boilers under Grammar
School No. 30 in GTeenwich-st. 1t is the testl-
mony of the principal of this school that the
ianitor who now attends to, Or rather neglectS,
the boilers, gets drunk, frequently leaves the
premises in charge of drunken substitutes, and
that there is constant danger OF a terrible eA-
plosion. Still the trustees refuse to change
the ianitor because OF political reasons. THIS
is a state OF things certainly that cannot be al
lowed to continue. The Board of Education
should close the school until the present trus-
tees are removed from office or forced to do

1t is a lamentable fact that the authorities of

lynched on Friday night, show little inclination
to catch the perpetrators of this terrible murder

and the Prosecuting Attorney of Monmouth
County will perhaps give it some attention.
But if he does nothing, and if the town authori-
ties and other law officers of the neghborhOod
remain IN their present listless mood, the Gov
ernor and the Legislature themselves should see
to it that justice Is meted out to the lynching

A PARALLEL.

The radical party is enfated by hot
shot from every direction. Writers
and speakers strike heavy blows even
when discussing other matters. Henri
Rochefort, in discussing Republican
ism in France" says:
Political parties have at least one
trait in common with dramatic writers
that is their extreme repugnance to
recognize that almost always their de-
feats should be laid to their own faults.
II is extremely rare, indeed, for an
author to explain his want OF success
otherwise than is due to the incapable
ty OF actors, or 10 the rain or snow, or
to excessive heat, or to some other
climatic condition apt to exert an un-
favorable influence on the public. Un-
doubleday it would be much simpler to
admit that the piece was Kissed solely
because it was poor: but that is the last
explanation OF which the unfortunate
playwright will dream. In the same
way parties, when they behold public
opinion abandoning them, never look
upon this general detection as direct
consequence OF their own detestable
policy; on the contrary, they exert all
their ingenuity to discover remote
causes, OF a machiavelic and most COM
plicated nature, and thus free them
selves from the necessity OF admitting
their own errors and allow themselves
to continue in them"
This is as true in America rs it is in
France. 1t is strikingly true OF the
Republican party now. 1t attributes
its losses to every cause but the true
one-namely, its own bad politics and
purposes.

IT is astonishing that bright Republi-
can correspondents should scour the
South in all directions, diligently inter-
view tho negroes, and still hear never a
word about the Freedman's Bank, or

interviews are very ably and carefully

The policy has been changed. The

educated that he need meyer Work any

there will be no more work and, OF
course, no more taxes-and the niger

and little radical shall lead them-and
all things will be entirely lovely.
And the Freedmen's Bank will be

Williams is young man but he is

In a brief article last week we touch.
ed lightly on the impracticability OF
what is termed a Prohibition law. We
did not propose to argue the question.
We have no word of censure nor any
feeling OF unkindness for our friends
and neighbors who believe that such a
law can be enforced. Il would be the
richest OF all blessings II some wise man
would devise a plan by which whisky
could be banished from the earth, but
custom and the laws have made the use
OF it "a marketable vice." and the
question now is as to tho best means
of getting rid of the evil.
Both political parties in their plat.
forms agree to submit the question to
the people at the ballot-box, and the
man must indeed be blind to passing
events and unacquainted with public
sentiment who does not know that pro-
hibition will win by large majority.
Then the advocates of prohibition will
be brought face to face with the ques-
ton: how will you enforce the law?
That question involves at once con-
flict OF the laws of the State with the
laws Of the United States, and the task
OF reconciling this clashing of author
ity rests upon those who are claiming
distinction as prohibition leaders.
Polititions are unreliable in sacc cases,
and the thinking people OF the land
must decide whether they will main
tain the right of their State to educate
their children and protect their NOR
ais, or turn the entire business over to
the general government the officers Of
which are even now selling license in
the prohibition State OF Georgia. The
situation is bad enough, look at it as we
may, and men will pause and consider
which is best:
whether to bear the Ills we have
Or fly to others Chat we know not Of"

RecIE TOBACCO.

Regisns-'an upholder OF kingly
authority" is the nearest approach 70
the word Reggie that We can find. The
word as applied to tobacco purchased
in our market by agents Of kingly gov
ernmens Is, We SUPPOSE, only an alb.
breviation.
The great bulk OF GAINESVILLE ship
ping leaf is bought by those Reggie con-
tractors TO fill contracts, or orders from
their governments, and those contrac-
tors are generally men OF fine business
capacity and controlling large amounts
Of money.
They buy thousands OF hogshead at
our Exchange and our planters appre-
ciate the influence OF their presence and
influence at the boaId, but what The
planters need additional is a modifca-
ton Of the terms on which those Regie
contracts are based. They find no
FAULT with the gentlemen who buy to-
bacco to fill those contracts, but they
desire that part OF the immense profit
made upon their tobacco by those gov
ernments when they sell this tobacco
to their own subjects shall be divided
among the planters here at home. In
other words, they desire that congress
shall, by treaty with the governments
which let out those contracts, secure to
the planters of Tennessee and Kentucky
a sufficiency to repay them for the cost
reproduction and just and liberal re-
ward for their time and labor. We
are assured that our representative,
Hon. Joseph Z. Washington, will urge
this subject upon the next congress.
