A TraHP,s Complaint.

'sA Tramp" has written to Siftings com plaining because the names of men of his class who are killed in railroad accidents are never printed iu the newspapers. "There is rarely a smash-up on the railroad without one or more tramps being killed" this fel- low writes. "but who ever saw their names published. We have names as weh as other people, but no one ever takes the trouble to find them out. "A tramp was killed,' or two tramps were buried in the debris, ip all they say. They are careful to give the names of all the others who suffer, but with us it is 'only a tramp Who travels more by railroad, unless closely watched, than the trampg He asks for no palace car; he isn't particular whether there be sleeper or dining car in the train or not. Never in 8 hurry himself, he accepts 8 corner in freight car just as cheerfully as he does @ parlor chair on the bumper of the limited express. If passenger train is crowded at night he never disturbs anybody, but crawls under 8 car and takes a seat on brake, without troubling the Pullman porter for pillow. And he would share his seat with fellow-traveler any time, unlike one of those railroad hogs who want whole section to themselves And yet, when tramp is one of the victims of railroad accident. no re- porter ever takes the trouble to find out his name so that his brother tramps may learn his fate and drop tear to his memory"

SCHOOL MANAGEMENT.

SCHOOL ENLARGEMENT.
 A great many of the people of this city think, and they are right in so thinking, that they are not allowed to know enough about what goes on in the board of education. But educational work is carried on in some cities much more privately than here. Thus it is considered rather remarkable thing that the Boston Transcript has begun to publish verbatim reports of the debates of the Boston school committee. The Epoch thus com. ments upon it: It would be an excellent idea for one of the great New York dailies to imi- tate the example of our Boston contempora- ry by giving the public correct report of the bi-monthly debates of the board of sdu- cation of this city. In New York most peo- pie are not even familiar with the names of the school commissioners, let alone with the work that they do. This work ought to be watched closely by the parents of the chil- dren, and when it is not properly performed, practical steps should be taken to influence the mayor to appoint the right persons, for it is he who Is clothed with that power, hav- ing the appointment of seven members of the board of education every year. Our New York dailiss could we'll omit much that they now print and substitute therefor a good deal more than they do about our pub- lie schools and their management. Our es- teemed Boston contemporary is fully justified in making the prediction that 'the Tran script will possess a peculiar interest and value to all friends of common schools in Boston and those individually engaged in the work of instruction.
 The Epoch Is entirely right The newspa~ pers of any city can do no better public ser vice than to give whatever space is needed to full reports of the meetings and doings of the ''sehool committees"

THE RAILExOAD IN CHINA.

China has been very slow to see the advan- tages of railroads. In all that great country there are only s61l miles of railroad, but the outlook for more is now good, as the emperor has recently directed that work on railroad seven hundred miles long should be at once begun.
 The reports of two of China's great men concerning railroads are interesting. Chang, Viceroy of Canton, declares that China needs railroads in order that her export trade may be revived. They are becoming, he says, "more and more necessity for purposes of defense, as powerful and envious neighbors close in nearer and nearer around the Middle Kingdom from year to year." He does not believe that a railroad system will encourage the sp-ead of foreign religions. Railroads in certain places might, however, expose the country to invasion, and there is danger that the use of foreign employees and material may injure native interests. It is true, also, that . large number of persons now employed In boat and cart traffic would be thrown out of work. But the advantages greatly outweigh the objections, and he recommends that at Q shall be built, as such line would be too far from the coast to be seized by an enemy, and would disturb comparatively few houses and graves. He urges that the iron to be used should be produced at home, so that the money of the empire may not be paid to for eigners. Lin Ming Chuan, Governor of Fora mosa, agrees with Chang, and declares that | no other modern improvement can do more to increase the empires wealth and power. He brushes aside the objections that graves would be disturbed and boatmen and cart- men be deprived of work. These injuries must be suffered for the good of the many. He does not believe that railroads anywhere would increase the danger of invasion, be- cause they have not had that effect in Eu- rope. Moreover, if China had railroad sys. tenn her troops could be moved easily in time of war.
 Thus does progress conquer, even in con- servative old China. It may not be long be- fore they are playing base ball there.

 This Is great country. The largest coun- ty in the United States is Custer county, Montana, which contains 36, 900 square miles, being larger in extent than the States of Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Dela- ware and Rhode Island. One-tenth of our present population could find means of livelihood in this one county, and then it would not be so populous as Belgium.
 According to the report of the Philadel- phia police department there were nine thousand houses in that city placed under the special surveillance of the police while the families occupying them were out of town this summer. Of these, eleven vera entered by thieves, who succeeded in talk ing away goods in nine cases, but in every ease the thieves were promptly captured and the goods recovered. This is good re- cord.
 Compulsory education in Chicago is facing the proposition that the State provide cloth ing for the children of the poor. They can. not be compelled to attend school without decent clothes, and, as large number have been found in such condition of want, the board of education has applied to tho county board for grant of clothing, hats, shoes etc., sufficient for every need of the kind This the county board refuses to give, and the board of education now stands back and asks what shall be done about it.. Judge Finletter of Philadelphia in pro nouncing judgment upon recent case be fore him declared that it would not be sufi oient punishment merely to impose fin upon a railroad superintendent who had vio lated some law, and that, therefore, he shoul' pronounce a sentence of six months impris onmsnt. The offending superintendent, wh would have had no great objection to payin a fine out of his oompany's treasury, was ov erwhelmed with surprise at this judgment, g indeed was everybody else.
