FREE EDUCATIoS IN ENGLAND.

The growth in liberal sentiment which has
been observed in England since the passage
of the great Reform bill sixty years ago may
be justly considered TO be one of the most sig
| nifcent and interesting features of modern
history. When that famous measure was un-
der discussion, the Duke of Wellington and
other extreme Conservatives denounced it as
designed to strike a fatal blow at the whole
framework of the English social and political
system as transmitted from the past, and they
warned those who were supporting it that
success in their efforts to make the bill fun
damental part of the law of the land would
be the first step towards a democracy which
would know no reaction until it had reached
its consummation.
The history of the last sixty years in Eng.
land has gone TO confirm the anticipations of
the Iron Duke and his associates. Every de-
cade has seen the abolition of some political
or social feature which had come down hoary
with memories of remote ages. The Catho-
lies have been emancipated, and the ban
has been removed from the Jews: the Church
has been disestablshed in Scotland and Ire
land; the protective principle has been elim-
mated from the revenue laws; and gradually
the suffrage has been extended until it has
become essentially popular in its character.
AS the electoral privilege has been enlarged
hberality OF public opinion has grown until
now there stands between England and pure
democracy only throne with social rather
than political power, House of Lords whose
reason for existence is practically confined to
the registration of the DEGREES of the lower
house OF Parliament; an established church
which needs only single statute to sink il TO
the footing OF the other denominations.

Sunday Visitors at an Art Museum.

The attendance ofsome ten thousand people
at the Metropolitan Museum OF Art. in Cen
trail Park. New York on Sunday afternoon
the first time it was ever opened to the public
on Sunday-would seem to indicate that there
was a considerable popular demand for the
innovation. Among the promoters of the
change was Mr. William T. Walters. Of this
city, whose wish is now gratifed after years
of delay. The art collection in the museum
has been greatly enriched in recent years by
the presentation Of many valuable modern
paintings, and throwing it open to the public

A NJ MAMMOTH STEEL BRIDGE.
The Pivoted Pier to Support Draw Civ.
ing an Opening 200 Feet.

According TO the Philadelphia Tele-
graph, the great steel bridge across the
Columbia river, at Vancouver, will be a
mammoth concern. 1t will be 5000 feet
from the Washington to the Oregon shore
1t will be double tracked, with a roadway
on top for teams, and will be erected upon
pneumatic piers. The pivoted pier, or
draw pier, will support draw which will
give an opening of 200 feet space on either
side for vessels to pass, and the span i'm
mediately south of the draw span will be
375 feet. The whole structure is to be of
steel, built 10 feet above the high water of
1876, and 40 feet below low water. On
account of the sandy formation it will be
necessary to go down 80 feet below low
water to get firm foundation. There it
rests on a foundation of coarse gravel
similar to that upon which the great
bridges across the Missouri river are built.
This gigantic structure will cost over
81 100000, and employ hundreds of men
in its erection. It will be January l,
1892. before the cars can pass over it.
The company is pushing its bridge and
also its road as fast as men and money
and its present perfected plans will o.
NIT. They have now between Vancouver
and Kalama over 1000 men and l 800
teams at work.
