1t has been wisely concluded not to spend the
public money on university course of study
In Boston's schools till the elementary
branches have been well taken care of. That
should be the rule in every city. The common
schools were established for the purpose of
teaching children how to read, write, cipher
and use their hands. Whatever goes beyond
that is in the nature of a luxury, and should
give way till every child who wants the rudi-
ments Of an education has chair to sit in, and
desk to work at, and large enough indi-
vidual share of teachers attention to insure
its satisfactorY nrogress

Scientific Boston is all agog over the latest
practical application Of electricity to rapid
transit for long distances. In the Old South
meeting house there has been displayed a
model OF the portelectric railway, whereby
experts calculate that the time of conveyance
between New York and Boston could be reduced
to an hour or two. The central principle of the
system is the suction exerted by a coil, through
which a current is passed. upon rod of iron
or steel placed near its center. The railway
structure is simply to consist Of q series of
coils, so arranged that the attraction of one
begins to exert itself the attraction of its pre-
decessor ceases to do so. The car body is to be
built Of light steel, and an automatic device
attached to the car is to do the work of break
ing and making circuits in the coils as the car
proceeds, so that it will never be stopped mid
way Of any one coil by the continuance of the
latter's attraction in degree more powerful
than that Of the next coil which is
expected to draw it onward. No one
who has watched the advances wrought
during the last half century in every
department Of human life and industry by the
use Of forces which two generations ago were
scarcely known, even by name, will regard the
portelectrio system as the end of improvement
in its particular direction, but it is a step to-
ward the accomplishment of wonderful results,
which our grandchildren will witness if We do
not. The same difficulty has yet to be over
come which has stared every inventor in the
face from the beginning of the work for extra
rapid transportation, with regard to the heat
which must be generated by SO swift journey.
1t Is estimated that comparatively small box
on wheels, sent over line of portelectric rail-
way every five minutes during the day, would
convey all the mail matter which now passes
by the ordinary transportation lines between
New York and Boston; but it can be discovered
only by actual experiment in what condition
it would reach its destination. The proposal
to carry human beings from one city to the
other by the aid of the new motor in one
sixth OF the present running time would
raise questions of yet greater importance.
We shall undoubtedly hear more of the
portelectric system; but meanwhile the in
ventors who believe that they are on the trail
Of something better need not feel that COM

The refusal Of Italy to surrender the muir
derers of Paymaster Mcclure causes the
Wilkesbarre Record to inquire:
why not Danish every unnaturalized Italian
in the country as a means of retaliation and
sef-preservatiOn? Can foreign thieves and as
sassins drop into peaceable American COM
munity and refuse to forswear allegiance to
their mother country that they NAV implore its
power when they return to it with their hands
Redeemed with the blood of Americans and their
pockets filed with stolen American money!"
A sweeping measure which should eject all
unnaturalized Italians, good and bad from the
republic, as scapegoats to bear a part Of the
punishment which belongs to the fugitive
murderers would undoubtedly be as unjust as
the action which Italy is said to have taken in
this matter. But the incident suggests the
rigid enforcement of existing laws against the
importing of the criminal classes of Europe,
and the enactment of additional laws where
present statutes are insufficient. We can re-
turn the prospective thieves and murderers,
whom Italy sends, to the tender and protecting
care Of the home government before oppor-
tunity to commit crime has been given. The
policy OF prevention is the best.

The doctors who made the autopsy on WASH
ington Irving Bishop were evidently in too
great hurry to discover what a mind-reader's
brain resembles after his death. The distress
ing suggestion that Bishop was not really dead
at the time of the autopsy will probably be
found to be without foundation. But the doc
tors had no right on the assumption that he
was dead to cut up the dead man with indecent
haste and without the consent Of his family or
relatives, and the general public will sympa-
thize very little with them in the scare which
the coroner gives them by placing them under

The District citizen wears broad smile now
adays. The unconfned reign of Joy over the
appointment of new Commissioners extends
even to the ex-Commissioners and to the can
didates who fell by the wayside in the race for
the Office. The ex-Commissioners are pleased
to be displaced, and everybody else is pleased,
too, and happiness prevails. The good citizens
who were named as Commissioners by their
friends, but not by the President, since only
two could be appointed, accept the situation
philosophically and cheerfully. They act upon
the principle laid down by level-headed Editor
Donath, of the Chester Times, who, after a
strong but unsuccessful candidacy for the Office
OF public printer, remarks:
Where there is more than one candidate for
desirable position-and history tells US that
there invariably is-the sensible aspirant knows
in advance that all but one will be disap-
pointed. Hence he starts out with the calm
assurance that the chances are against him
that in all probability he will be permitted to
enjoy the quiet comfort of private life. This
settled in his own mind, he should prepare
himself at the outset for that holy calm which
TO greater or less degree enshrouds the man
who suddenly concludes to sit down on the
pavement. And when the adverse decision
comes he will find it much more easy to con-
clude that alPs for the best than the impetu-
Gus individual who cannot see how he can fail IS
