dwelling houses were wrecked. Police and
soldiers charged the rioters several times.
and at last succeeded in clearing the main

wounds. This morning the head constable
of Waterford forced private soldier to at

is serious. The streets are patrolled by the
police and cavalry.
The city is quiet today Investigations
show that most of the fighting was done be-

assailing the officers because they prevented
the Orangemen from attacking catnohcs.
Policeman Gardner, who was reported to

Manual Training Schools.

The demand for industrial schools
grows more pressing, and there is little
doubt that manual education is des-
tined to become feature of the in
struction afforded by the public school
system. Whether such trade school
shall become an accepted part of pub
lie education, or whether the system
now in use in our schools shall be mod
flied so as to include more or less of
manual training, is question of the
near future. The most feasible plan
at present would seem to be some
form of industrial or trade school dis
tinct from the public schools. Hor-
per's Magazine for February has an
instructive article on this subject
The writer notes that the progress of
manual training in the United States
during the last few years has been
very great. 1t is already, in some form,
in certain of the schools of twenty-five
of the states of the Union, and there
are at least forty educational institu-
tons in the country where it is made
a part of the course of instruction. He
deprecates the disposition of this coun-
try to initiate the European system of
trade schools, which, he says, is per-
petuating a system of caste in educa-
ton which it is the chief mission of the
civilization of the age to destroy. They
graduate carpenters, blacksmiths and
turner's, but they fail to equip men for
an equal chance in the battle of life, by
making them dependents upon the gov
eminent for a situation instead of al
lowing them to seek and create situa-
tons for themselves. The better sys-
tenn is of Russian origin, and aims to
dignity labor and create powerful
intellectual stimulus, and to develop the
best aptitudes of the pupils.
The writer says that Philadelphia
now has the most complete course OF
manual instruction Of any city in the
country, consisting of the kindergarten
the School of Industrial Art for boys
and girls of the grammar schools, and
the Manual Training School for boys
from fourteen to eighteen years of age.
The superintendent of schools in that
city writes that the conviction obtains
among the members of the Board OF
Education of Philadelphia, and is, in
his opinion, growing in the public
mind generally, that every child should
receive manual training; that complete
education implies the training of the
hand in connection with the training OF
the mind, and that this feature must
ultimately be incorporated into the
public education. He concludes: 4"
feel encouraged to 90 forward with the
work. The great principles which un,
derlie the system are with me intense
convictions, and they mean nothing
else than a revolution in education
My conviction and action in connection
with this movement are based upon

THE mortality from smallpox in
Montreal has fallen to two deaths a
day, though it is asserted that there is
not case in the city. The latter state
ment may be doubted, as Montreal
physicians have stated that the city is
never wholly free from the disease.
The total number of deaths from the
epidemic in Montreal from April, 1885,
to January l, 1856, is given at 3,1G4, of
which 2,SSS were French Canadians.
There were only ninety-siX Protestants
in the list. Long-continued neglect of
vaccination and similar precautions,
and the lax methods of the authorities,
are given as the principal causes of this
visitation. The city has also suffered
an immense financial loss, and many
business failures have resulted. In
Buenos Ayres, where vaccination is as
unpopular as it was in Montreal, but
not compulsory, there were, last year,
| ,1S7 deaths from smallpox, or five per
one thousand of the population. In
the great Prussian army, where vaccin-
alton has been rigidly carried out, there
has not been a single death from small
pox since 1875.

THoUGH the British parliament had
been in session two weeks, no business
of importance was transacted until its
formal opening by the Queen in person,
which occurred on Thursday. Her
speech contained no hint of any re-
medal legislation for Ireland; on the
contrary, she deprecates the agitation
in Ireland against the union with Great
Britain, and suggests demand for
more legislation to repress crime and
punish boycotting in the Green Isle.
The debate on the Queens speech,
which followed its delivery, shows that
the tories have resolved to make no
concessions to Ireland. In the house
of commons Mr.. Gladstone spoke for
an hour on the subject. While he IA
vored gentle and conciliatory treatment
of the Irish question, he insisted that
the Union should be maintained. The
Irish members are not pleased with the
outlook, although they profess to be-
lieve that parliament will be compelled
to grant home rule to Ireland. But the
intense anti-Irish feeling of the En-
glish people may defeat the accom-
plishment of their hopes.

Partisan journalism.

Some journals which have adver-
tised their independence of party OBJ
legations, but which have proved indie
pendent failures so far as freedom
from partisanship is concerned, have
had much to say in depreciation of
partisan journalism. Now the vast
majority of people believe that polit-
ical parties are essential to the welfare
of republican government. A party
processes to be, and for the most part
is, an association of persons holding
substantially the same opinions on pub
lie affairs, which they reach by starting
from the same fundamental principles.
An editor who believes that the sue
cess of the republican party is essen
tial to wholesome administration in
national affairs need not be a blind
and subservient tool of the party, but
he has no right to permit his personal
feelings to get the better Of his political
principles, and by refusing to yield his
views on minor points of belief or
preference put himself in a position
where his influence can only tend to
assist the opposition party movements.
This is precisely the case with the in
dependent journals which left the serv-
ice of the republican party in 1884 be-
cause its national candidates, fairly Sc
lected by the majority of the party,
were not men of their choice. A re-
publican paper that advocates repub-
lican principles and policies, because it
believes in their soundness, cannot be
anything less than party organ.
The Albany Express, having re-
Gently undergone "a change of editors,
in the interests of a more thorough and
consistent support of the republican
party, Harper'S Weekly has suggested
how it might become the severest CEN
sor of party action, rather than mere
party organ, pledged to uphold whatever
is done in the name of republicanism
The ErpreSS, however, does not be-
lieve that republican principles can be
advanced and effectively vindicated in
practice by carrying on continual
warfare upon the republican party,
after the plan so long pursued by Harp
er's Weekly, and it defines its position
openly and unreservedly, as follows:
The Express does not believe in being re.
publican in a half-hearted way. 1t does not
anticipate any difficulty whatever in de.
Tending whatever is honestly and actually
done in the name of republcanism. 1t sus
poets that one difficulty with the republican
press of the state and nation has been tim
idity and halting in the defense of robust
republicanism. Without intending any per

what, in my judgment, should consti-
tute an education designed to prepare a
human being for the social conditions
of to-day, and not merely for the in
dustrial demands of our time. And
this must be realized in the public
schools, or they will fail in accom-
plishing the ends for which they were
instituted and are maintained"

illustrating the raw materials and
manufactured products of the more i'm
portant industries of the country, and ,
to some extent, drawings and models,
showing the evolution of the funda-
mental tools and machines" The
course of instruction in the School of
Industrial Art comprises drawing and
design, modelling, wood-carving and
certain exercises in carpentry and
joinery, metal-work and sewing. The
latter is made part of the regular
course in every girls school above the
primary, and thirty-two sewing in
structors are now employed. The free
Kindergartens, of which there are
twenty-eight, cannot be made a part,
officially, of the public school establish
ment, but they are supported by a
school association, with the aid of an
appropriation from the school board, as
adjuncts to the regular schools.
