THE remarks of the Harrisburg, Penn sylvania, Patriot upon the Blair educa- tional bill seem to have been generally adopted by the democratic press as sound democratic doctrine, and we are not disposed to question the correctness of the claim. The Blair bill i5 intended to bring up from the depths of Hitter scy the great mass of the rising genera tion who are prevented by pine lIng pUv- erty from obtaining an education in the common schools, and provides for the payment by the government during the next eight years of S0,OOO.OOO to the various states and territorIes, appOrtlon- ed upon the basis of the illiteracy shown by the last census. This sum IS to be used for instructing the uneiuceted people the rudiments of education that will lift them out of their deplcrable condition. It IS strictly an educational movement in the interest of the great class of poor people, and We are there fore not surprised to witness the oppo- sition of the democratic press, and to see them charge that "every feature of the bill is diametricglly opposed to the cardinal doctrines Of the democratic party" They confess themselves op- posed to education, and in practice they keep theIr heel upon the neck of the ignorant unfortunates while they loudly proclaim themselves the defenders of the peoples rights! The hollow hypoc- risy of their sham principles IS apparent to every intelligent person, and the only element of cohesion in the party IS its expectation of them oflises," which they hope to get through a so-cslled party organization, well knowing the utter impossility of their ever reaching that goal through fair competition with merit.

SOME of the Territorial journals are giving Delegate co.

Roa aRDoF PUBLIC WORKS.

A Switch for the Horse Railroad to
 be Lfad on Grand Avenue Bridge
 The Sewer Workmen to be Paid as
 Desired.
 The Board of Public Works met last eve
 ming and discussed the advisability of allow
 ing the Fair Haven 6 Westville horse rail-
 road to lay switch for their double track on
 the Grand avenue bridge, over the Quinni-
 piac river in Fair Haven East. It was voted
 after considerable discussion to allow the
 company to lay switch on the bridge for a distance not to exceed 80 feet from the west end of the bridge, to which President Ives sented. President Ives stated before the Board that he thought the best thing would be to lay the switch on the bridge, as on the east side of the river the street is too narrow | and on the west side the switch would come in front of the stores, which would cause a great annoyance to them. The Board coin | cided with President Ives.
 Thematter of paying the workmen at thedif- | ferent supply houses, was which next brou ght | before the Board, caused quite discussion
 among the commissioners. Commissioner Reilly stated that he wished to be known as 1 the bringer-up of the resolution to pay the laborers at the supply hovse and not Com | missioner Sullivan. He thought that it was | entirely unnecessary for Clerk Waldron to go around to the different paying places to | give out tue mOu6y, dS OuperlutouuoAl u | Streets Doyle was perfectly capable and honest man, as well as the other officials who have charge of the citys workmen. 1 Commissioner Reilly at this juncture
 waxed wrathy and accused Clerk Waldron
 of signing pay rolls for Messrs. Doyle and l Sherman and furthermore could prove it. 1 Clerk Waldron denied the accusation. Af- | ter much warm talk the following resolution was adopted:
 | Voted, that the employees of the Board of Public
 Works who receive their pay weekly be paid as fol lows viz: Those employed by Superintendent Tt

 MADISON, Sept. S.-Seashore visitors have begun their exodus. Misses Kate Kelsey and Theda Dudley have gone to Wellesley, the former as instructor, the latter as a member of the freshman class.
 Last Saturday MT. Martin Scranton's bull was feeding in his pasture. He is an animal somewhat given to pranks and with quick temper. Being also of an Investigating turn of mind he got out and looked around on the railroad. At about that time the New port express came along and aroused the in dignation of our bovine friend. He turned and faced the iron horse and bade it defiance. The train came to standstill and brake man was sent ahead to clear the track. He did it, and that, too, in hurry, for the in furiated beast took after the brakeman who scurried over fence just in time to escape being helped. The train moved off, leaving the brakeman and bull glaring at each other over the high fence. Before the next train came harmony was restored and the brake man allowed to go on his way.
