Our Public schools.

Referring edtorially to the act
passed by he Legislature. making
i, incumbent upon the Governor to
appoint a special commission to in
vestigate the public school system
of the State, ,the Msrning Herald
very properly remarks
"There is evidently something
wrong with the schools, and it will
be the office of .his commission to
find out what it is. In some coun-
ties, with low tax rate, the schools
are kept open about ten months in
the year, while other counties, with
high rate, are unable TO provide
instruction more than about six
months each year.
ITO ascertain the causes of this
condition of things and to suggest q
remedy committee of five will be
appointed, which will be expected
to report to the Legislature of 1894.
"There are several crudities IN
the Maryland school system which
need to be improved. In the first
place, the educational machinery of
the State lacks organization. Each
county is entrusted with it's own ed
vocational affairs, aIswerab!e to no
higher authority. AS result the
school system in each county is in
dependent, and a considerable di-
versity exists as to the appointment
of teachers, the length of school
terms, the assessment of the school
tax, and so on. There is, in point
of fact, no state school organization
in Maryland. Rather there are
twenty-three county systems largely
independent of each other, to wDich
special aud sometimes conflicting
laws apply.
"Fhe first requisite should be a
uniform school tax throughout the
State and the organization of a state
school system with specified officials
to manage its affairs. A state super
intendent or q permanent commits
sion may be desirable, and through
them could be worked out a uni
form system TO apply to all the
counties of the STATE, supported IN
part by the general funds of tie
commonwealth.
maryland is simply behind the
times in her educational develop
ment. But the free school book
bill aud numerous other measures
relating to the schools proposed at
Annapolis while the Legislature was
IN session show that improvement 10
on the way. Aud one of the most
hopeful sts ps taken in that direc--
ton is the Law providing for this
commission.

The Rural Press ON the Veto.

There is no Disgusting the fact that
nine-tenths of the rural press
which voices the sentiment Of the
masses, are very outspoken on Gov
ernor Browns veto of the assess
ment bill. The Easton Star in a
leading editorial says
Twice in the past two years have
the people Of the State babe their
representatives give them a new as
sessment Of property; twice have
these representatives loyalty obeyed
the popular demand by passing as
sessment bills in harmony with the
progress of our State, and as often,
we are sorry to say, have our Gover-
nors yielded to the clamor Of those
whose property new assessment was
In ended to effect.
owe think Governor Jackson
made a mistake in not signing the
assessment bill of 1890, but in view
of the proposed constitutional
amendments which were then be-
fore the people for adoption or re-
lection, there was fair ground for
doubling the expediency of having
new assessment without the bene-
fits which it was supposed the adop.
ton of the amendments would give.
But no such condition exists. The
amendments have been voted upon
and have been adopted or rejected
according to the votes of the people.
A new assessment Of property was
imperatively demanded IN almost
every section of the State, aud we
believe that Governor Brown has
made a mistake in withholding his
signature from the bill just passed
by the Legislatures mistake that
will cost him large portion of that
popularity which his professed
friendship for the agricultural in
terests of the State as Farmer
Brown" had won for him.

MARRIAGE IN PARIS.

Before Pierre can with safety select
his particular Saturday he has a null
titude Of civil and religious require
ments to attend 10, says IN exchange.
Neither he o Lizette can think of
such q thing as marrying without the
consent of their families. II father,
mother and grandparents are dead a
family council must be called Of the
nearest living relatives to consider the
case and give or withhold permission.
Ii it is refused to Pierre and he is under
25, or TO Lizette and she is under Il,
the marriage cannot go on.
For eleven days before the civil mar
riage can take place there must be
posted at the door of the mayors

sons % be married and full data about
both parties.
If there Is a religious service the
bans will be published three Sundays
running in the church of the parish
attended by each party.
While these preliminaries are in pro-
gress Pierre is collecting the docu-
ments necessary for the civil ceremony.
II is no small outlay, for each must be
made out on official paper-an ex-
p~ensive luxury in Paris. There must

CHICAGO AND ITS BATTLE.
Century and q Half Before tho City was
Located,

Edward g. Mason writes in the New
England Magazine: In the year 1886,
Tonty says in his memoir, Il arrived
at the Fort of Chicagou where M.De Ia
Durantaye commanded" This was
the first fort here of which we have
any account, and was probably a stock
ade structure constructed by Duran
taye in 1855. Tonty also marched
from the Illinois with sixteen French
men and 200 Indiane TO take part in
the campaign, and according to one
account he came by the way of Chi
cago and mustered some recruits here,
perhaps from the garrison of the fort.
He led his party across the country to
Detroit, where he met D~urantaye and
two other famous pioneers, La Foret
and Daniel G%reysolon Du Lhut from
whom the present city of Duluth takes
its name. They had a large body of
French and Indians from the upper
lakes, and the united forces pushed on
TO Niagara and joined the Governor
Generals army at the rendezvous on
the southern shore of Lake Ontario,
near the Seneca country. Two thOus-
and five hundred men marched
through the wilderness toward the
great town of the Sen ecas, with Duran
taye, Tonty and Lhut, aud their cour-
iers de bois in the an. In the narrow
detile the advance, separated from the
main body, came upon an ambush OF
three hundred Indian warriors, who
closed upon their rear with yells of
triumph, thinking this detachment to
be the whole army. But better leaders
for such a fray there could not have
been than these three intrepid French
men, who held their wood rangers
steadily to their work, until suddenly
through the forest came the main
body, headed by four companies OF
the fighting Carignan regiment, and
the Senecas sullenly abandoned the
field. Their great town was taken and
destroyed, and down to our own time
their descendants knew the scene of
their crushing defeat by the French as
Dyagodiyu, or The Place of a Battle"
