genius of our people; civilization that
supports more noble charities, more ana
better colleges, more public libraries,
more helpful institutions for the poor
and unfortunate, that has better houses,
more and etter food for its people, less
criminals and paupers. less degradation
suffering than any people on the
round globe.
A civilization which supports q gov
eminent whose gentle sway is like the
restraining hand of mother leading our
people along the paths of happiness by
its persuasive prosperity. And yet a
government so strong that it's right arm
can stand against the world;- glorious
that poesy even dares not attempt it's
praises! So divine is its liberty, so alb
solute it's equality. and SO humane its
brotherhood, that Religion herself comes
here for refuge, from her hitherto war
like realm, Iejoicing that her mission at
last, has prophecy of its end! And yet
the charge is made that our common
schools from which all OF these bene-
licences have come are unfit schools for
our tender youth.
What tribunal, in all the wide world is
competent to sit in judgment upon our
institutions, save only our well instruct
ed and patriotic Americanism.

allied, for both shall ever be treated with

and would be settled shortly. He forgot
to announce, however, that it was Re-
publican administration, the administra-

substantial reduction of water rates to

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

In Mayor Ingraham's detailed account
of the stewardship of his administration,
minute though it was in many directions
there was one very important omission.
All reference to the conduct of the police
department was absent with the ex-
ception of the mere statement that the
police had been examined and certain
officers incapacitated by age or infrmity
retired. This omission was conspicuous
because the police department is the one
above all others under control of the
Mayor He appoints the marshal and
deputies and removes them at will. 1t
would have been the most natural thing
in the world for gentleman SO consumed
with sense of his own Importance to
point to the conduct of the police depart
ment as evidence of his own good judg-
ment in selection of officers and his
watchfulness to keep them up to a vigor-
Gus performance of their duty. But he
failed to do so. AS he called attention to
the most trivial things in which he had
been instrumental. such as the addition
of several animals to the park menagerie
and the putting up of few chandeliers
in the city hall, it is hardly possible that
he could have failed to notice
the police department because he forgot
it. Another reason than that must be
looked for and that reason is, we believe,
because the Mayor could find nothing
goodlto say Of it.
1t is significant fact also in this con-
nection that when the Argus a few days
ago put the Mayors appointments on
dress parade and asked the public to in
spect them and see if they were not good
it confined the exhibition to the hon
orary appointments of the chief magis-
trate. The police department was not
exhibited.
A glance at the conduct of this de-
partment the past year will convince
everybody, we think, that both the May
or and the Argus showed great wisdom
and discretion in not directing public at
tention to it. A very few weeks after
the present city marshal was installed in
date for the Democratic nomination for
sheriff; and his friends announced for
him that he was candidate on the basis
of non-enforcement of the laws of the
State. That is to say the head of a force
constituted for the purpose of preserving
the public peace and enforcing the laws
of the State proceeded to deliberately
put himself under obligation to the law
breaking elements of the community
Had Mayor Ingraham had that watchful
care for the city's interests which he is
now processing he would have immedi-
a.ely informed the city marshal that he
must either resig or withdraw from his
campaign for the Democratic nomination
for sheriff.
But the scandal did not stop here.
While the attitude in which the marshal's
candidacy for the sheriff's office placed
him constituted well nigh irresistible
temptation to shut his eyes to violations

Our Common Schools.

To the Editor of the Press:
Our fathers founded our state, and all
of it's Democratic and Republican insti-
buttons upon the fact, which they were
the first clearly to perceive and success
fully to formulate and adopt as the broad
and solid basis of the entire superstruc-
ture of our government; that Democratic
and Republican institutions can only
exist where substantially all the people
in their childhood are educated together
in the common schools. The system
which they established has descended
feom them to us, and for more than two
hundred years the common schools for
the peoples children have been main
tanned in all their integrity.
The common school system of New
England has in all past generations of
our history been fostered with paternal
care, developed step by step with the in
crease of our population, and expanded
into new states and territories, until now
it is the benefcence, the pride, and the
glory of our common country. And now
during the last few decades the doctrine
has been incaluated throughout our land,
that these common schools of ours are
Goddess or wicked, or unfit schools for
the education of our tender youth?
we ask our people and our Hon. Sena-
tors and Representatives to consider the
great fact in the discussion, which alone
OverWhelmS as with the storm tides of
the ocean, the accusation against our
common schools; the fact that all of our
ministers, all of our physicians, all of our
lawyers and judges, all of our merchants
all of our manufacturers, all of our
farmers and mechanics, all of our
mothers, wives, sisters and daughters,
all of our American people, have been
educated in our common schools; and
what is the result? A matchless civiliza-
ton builded upon every science known
to man; upon every skillful art, so many
of them peculiarly our own, that the
world stands amazed at the inventive
