Eula as a heroine, and the public general

f. F. Palmer, esq, of Waterbury, who
has been elected State superintendent Of
education, was the representative of his
town in the popular branch of the General
Assembly, and his election affords a new
instance of the tendency of our Legisla
lures to give the offices in their disposal to
members of their body. There are better
things than that, however, to be said for
this selection. Mr.. Palmer is a man
of scholarly tastes and extensive
reading. He has had practical experience
rs teacher, and as town superintendent
of schools. He is a good speaker, law
yer in good standing, and a man of in
dustry and earnest spirit. How much Of
executive ability he NAV develop in hi
office, remains TO be demonstrated. On
him in large measure will depend the sue
cess of our school system, under the new
law, and we hope and anticipate for him
an able and successful administration Of
his most important and responsible office.

1t is interesting to see the result which
twelve years of bourbon rule has had
upon voting in South Carolina. In 1876
q, 600 votes IN round numbers were cast
for Hayes and 81, 900 for Tilden, or Il total
of $4,000. fn 1850, after the electoral ma
chinery had been for four years in the
control OF the democrats, 10000 votes
were cast, of which Hancock received
l12, 600 and Garfield $4,000 In 1854 Cleve
land received 10000 and Blaine % 200, or
total of $1,000; and in 1855 Cleveland re-
ceived, according to the official count G5,-
S25, as against Ii, 40 in a total vote of less
than 80 600. The census shows that there
has been steady increase in population
and there are fully 100000 men in the
State who are entitled to the suffrage. A
decline of over one half i'll the number of
votes counted, discloses condition of af
fairs not possible in any Northern State,
but one that is unfortunately quite too COM
mon at the South. This cannot last forever.
1t will be remembered that the new
member of the railroad commission of this
State, Ex-Governor Orms bee, suggested in
his Yaledictory message that if the act
creating the commission SHOULD be so
amended as to make 1t more in accord
with the provisions of the Interstate com
merce law of Congress, including some
or all of the provisions of the pending pro
posals of amendments thereto; and so as
to give further power, authority and di-
rection to the commission 10 initiate and
carry out inquiries, examinations and pro
ceedngs in its discretion or otherwise,
upon its own motion, as to matters which

petition, the hands of the commission
would be strengthened and its opportuni-
ties for correcting real abuses or grievan-
ces, and demonstrating the want of actu-
atty rs to supposed or imaginary ones,
would be thereby greatly enlarged"

The License Court in Philadel-
phia has dealt very rigidly with
drinking in the above named city
and suburban places. In an area
of eighteen square miles only thirty
four licenses were granted in place
Of 142 in force now. The Times
says: The Twenty-third ward, in
Guiding Frankford and all the rural
region beyond up to the Bucks
county line, must get along with 80
taverns scattered over more than
forty-two square miles. In each
case the proportion of saloons to
population in the built-up portions
of the ward is not much below the
general average for the city, while
the rural licenses are for the most
part confined to old-established and
respectable road houses.
West of the Schuykill the same
system is observed, 81 houses being
licensed in the Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-seventh wards, where there
are now $40. This is almost exact
one-ffth of the present number, and
the whole number of licenses grant
ed up to the present time, 1,1O9
bears similar proportion to the
whole number, 5,214, now in force
in the wards that have been passed
upon.
