seven years experience, mostly i'll the schools

the Philadelphia High School, and possessed
considerable acuteness Of intellect. Defec.
tive eyesight and deformity however, kept
him mostly in the back country schools,
where he did most excellent work. He was
a familiar figure at the institutes and the
State Teachers Association. For the past
three or four years he had been unable to.

ers, seeing that want was imminent, supported
him for year in Maryland, and then bv
means ofgenerous subscriptions from friends
all over the State secured him, on November

Baltimore, he was buried on Saturday last

transacted by the retail, of such a large

purely a wholesale business, as it is an
accepted fact that quantities can always be
bought at a closer price than small lots and
the retail in fine goods of Messrs. Straw

may possibly be one of the motives for
the legislation asked for; but we don't
think it the true one. 1t is far more
likely to be the Standard Oil Com

the worst features of the entire affair.
is the methods adopted to secure the

OVER sixty days of the present ses-

no effort has been made to secure the
much needed reforms in our prison
system Every state in the Union has
a hard labor clause as part of its penal
punishment, and the results have
always been for the best, morally and
physically for the prisoners The roads
could be repaired by prison labor,
swamps drained and other work of "a
public character that would benefit the
State in many ways, could be done by
a system of this kind that would be
impracticable by honest toll The cost
would be but little-ifany-more than
the present system of maintaining
prisoners in idleness for years and the
benefits to prisoner and State would be
more than a recompense.

TINE for action on serious legislation
has arrived.and the Legislature should
call up Mr. Eckles' Constitution Com
vention bill that it may he discussed,
a anended if necessary, and passed.
Public legislation has largely given
place TO private business, which is all
right; but now the hour has arrived
when the people are anxioua for more
serious matters. The peach yellows,
delinquent tax, convention, and
amendments to school laws, are all
measures that will require many days

If the general favorable comment
on our suggestion, that the public laws
enacted by each session of the Legis-
lature be published in the papers of
this State as they become laws by en-
aetment,is fair criterion TO judge by,
the measure would be exceedingly
popular. II a rate per thousand ems
of type measure sufficient to cover
cost Of composition were named, and
a sworn circulation of not less than
one thousand copies be made a cOndi-
tion of such publication, the object
would be attained and the cost reduced d
to the minimum. If those interested
will meet at Dover, March 18th, such
an act could be drawn and introduced.
