lence the dOgmat9c critics OF neWspa-
pers for at least one day. Over
100000 has been raised for provld-
ing nearly 10000 tenement children
with a fortnight's outing in the coun-
try. In round numbers 1000, 600
happy days have been added to the
lot of the poorest of the poor. This
is what The Tribune has been enabled
to do with the cooperation OF its
generous readers in town and coun-
try; and the work has been done
quietly, without sounding of trump
cts or beating of drums. There are
many philanthropic societies with
gilt-edged Boards of Directors and
complex and expensive systems OF Or
ganization which will covet such
record of practical work as ground
for iustifying their existence. The
Fresh-Air Fund is a model charitable
enterprise, inasmuch as there are
neither salary lists, office expenses,
nor waste of any kind connected with
it's operations. The money received
is applied directly to the transporta-
ton of the children to their vacation
homes. The kind-hearted, hOspitable
entertainers in the country open their
houses to the tenement visitors with
out charge. There is no expensive
mechanism as there is with ordinary
charitable enterprises. 1t is a well
organized system productive of i'm
mediate and large results without in
volving waste OF resources.
But an urgent plea for the require
ments of the seasons work which is
now rapidly opening is necessary.
Homes are wanted by the thousand
in the villages of New England, New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
and $4,000 can be used, especially il
the bulk of it be furnished early in the
season, for transportation expenses.
Subscriptions made late in the sum
mer have to be held over for the fol
lowing year, whereas money contrib
uted promptly is employed at once
in promoting the happiness and
health of poor and sick children dur.
inc the season of inclement heat
These are the requirements OF the
Fund; and no words are needed tc
add emphasis to TIL eloquence of the
figures 70, 900 i dFeh takeno out
of the slums and Z ement lodgings

and filthy alleys to the delights o

every sympathetic heart that is
touched with the pathos of child life in
the tenement world. The Fresh-Air
Fund deserves this year even larger
measure of popular support than ii
has ever received.

Some Probable Disappointment ts.


Judging from the result of the CEN
sus in 1870 and 1880, it may safely
be predicted that the enumeration
now under way will be full of sur
prises and disappointment. Eastern
61ties will be found to- have grown
more than was expected, but eastern
states less. The middle states and
Ohio will begin to show the shrinkage
which the New England states exhib-
tied in 1880, as New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Ohio have had heavy western emil
grafton in the last ten years. West
ern cities will be disappointed, with
here and there an exception. This is
the result of almost every census.
Western states, particularly those
west of the Mississippi, will surpass
expectation. The South is an eng
ma. 1t is expecting a great increase.
1t is doubtful if the seaboard shows
such an one. The region between the
Appalachians and the Mississippi and
Texas is certain to do so. This is al
so true of Texas. The four leading
cities of the country will be New York
Philadelphia, Chicago and Brooklyn.
In 1880 Brooklyn was bigger than
Chicago. 1t will be a bitter disap-
pointment to Chicago if it is now,
Boston was the fifth cityin 1880 and
St. Louis the sixth ST. Louis ex-
poets to lead now, but the chances
favor Boston. The grand aggregate
willreach 81, 100000 if the birth-rate
has been as high since 1880 as from
1870 to 1880. If thepopulation has
only made the average of advance for
thirty years past the total will be

CENTENNIAL NOTES.
Of Course.

The News and Citizen covered itself with
centennial glory by issuing a special illus
trated edition containing the addresses, poem
and matter relating to the day MorristowI
celebrated. There are cuts of business blocks
and private residences and excellent portraits
Of Judge Powers, Hon. P. X. Geed, Hon. G
W. Hendee, Rev. P. B. Fisk, Hon. c. S. Page

printed and handsomely gotten up number
and a credit to the good taste and enterprise
of the publishers.-,St Adams Messenger.

SPEAKER REEDS CoURAGE.-It is
something to compel the admiration
of ones political enemies, and this
Speaker Reed has done. The admi-
ration thus expressed is credited alike
to the giver and the receiver. The
Washington correspondent of the At
lanta, Ga, Constitution, writing to
that journal, says:
"With all his partizanship, his I'M
fairness, and other bad traits, no one
doubts the ability and nerve of the
man. This country has produced few
such public men as he; there has new
er been a man, unless it was Sam
Randall in the halls of Congress who
possessed the combination of brains,
determination and courage that APP
pear in the makeup of Tom Reed"
Has any one ever heard the
Northern Democratic or Independent
papers make any such admissions as
these? They know it all very well, but
they have neither the courageno the
generosity to say SO. 1t is not in
their line of political detraction to do

Parents often wonder who or what
has ruined their boys, says an ex-
change. They have been in school
every day, but the lessons of deport-
ment and morality inculcated there
seem to have been wasted on barren
ground. The truth is, they are al
lowed to be on the street from the
time school closes until late at night.
The street corner is the best place in
the world for teaching vice, prodigal-
ity and crime. Nearly all the bad
language and idle, vicious habits
which boys acquire are learned on the
street late at night. Teachers may
be able to accomplish II littlein coun-
teracting these evil influences, but
much of their labor will be in vain
until parents cooperate with them
by keeping their boys off the street at
night.

School Districts May Recover.

The attention of district clerks is
called to the school law which enables
districts when they expend in any
school year for the maintenance of a
legal public school of not more than
twenty-four weeks, sum greater
than the amount of its school money
for that year and one-third of its
grand list to recover from the town
one-half of such excess. The money
so used must have been used for the
education of scholars and includes in
addition to that paid out for teach
ers, all expenses for school purposes,
including fuel, charts &c, but does
not include that expendedin building
and repairs. Many districts are not
aware of this law and consequently
they lose what they are lawfully en-
titled to. Following is the law which
is Sec 23S of school laws
