It Is sald that Augustus Sclioll pajd $20,000 for tho honor of being nominated for Mayor, and tha seven candidates for Congress were ench taxed $1,500, The aggregate nssessments on candidates In 1873 were $90,000; and on per- sons already In oftfes $25,000, Kelly ade mitted in effect that this was where part of tho city’s money went when ‘he sald that he favored the payment of goo salnrles to Altlermen beeausa It cost them so much to get elected, ny GETTING AT BUSINESS IN CONGRESS, ‘The Demoerats yestorday abandoned for the tine belng their effort to fore upon, the Mouse the adoption of the Morgan Joint rule for counting the Electoral vote which tins been under discussion ever since Congress met. Mr. Bicknell, who had the measure in charge, gave notice that he would again call itupasa privileged question early in Janu- ary, when he hoped to have a quorum of Democratic members to pass It In spite of Republican opposition. ‘The Republie- ans have been willing all along to ns- sent to this o any othar arrangoment for removing the question ns a mere obstruction to business. ‘Ihe Democrats evidently con- eluded that thoy could not afford to delay the business of the session by urging a measure which thoy were not in a position to pass without Republican ‘consent, and which the Ropublicans were determined to resist as an fiumature and objectionable solution of a constitutional problem, Aftersoine sparring for priority, Mr, Wood's motion to go Into Committee of the Wholo for the consideration of the Refund- ing uct prevailed. The subsequent ‘pro- ceedings Indleated that there will be ® Jong debate over this measure, and possibly moro difficulty In agreeing upon tho terms of the act than was antielpated when the Committea of Ways and Means ngreed tho other day unanimously upon tho rate of Interest, ‘The bill ns amended by tho Committee provides for an issite of bonds not exceeding $500,000,000, redecmable after twenty years and running forty years, and for notes amountlig to $200,000,000, redeemable after two years and running ten, both scou- ritles bearing 3 per cent intercat. ‘Lhe number of amendments proposed in- lentes how while a difference there Is in tho House ng to the terms of refunding, Mr Kelloy’s proposition.ts that there shall be an {ssne of 'freasury notes fo the ntmount of $10,000,000, paynble afler July, 1889, nn of honds to tho aniount of §227,000,000, -paynblo after July, 1883, all at $ por cent Interest. ‘This proposition conforms tn part with tho theory of tho Administration that the present vlethora In the money ninrket will enadlethe Government to negotiates per cent securities running a short time more readily than those of longer duration, ‘This Impression f4 based tpon the presumption that capitalists do not apprehend a prolonged period of low intorest, and would rather Invest thoir monoy atthe proposed low rate fora short term of Years than to tle it up at dhat rate for a long or practically fudefinit pertu l. , ‘Phils ts cer tainly a reversal of tho usual course, but many have some force in tha present abnormal condition of monetary affairs, Tho Committeo’s bill, however, provides a reasonable allowance for such ascntiment aniong cnpltalists by authorizing $200,000,- 000 of ‘Treasury notes, whieh shall be ree deemable at tho pleasure of the Government after two years aml become paynblo at tho- end of ten years, ‘The other proposed amendments wero for tho most part utterlyIdlotic, The Greenback thoory was represented by Gillotte's proposl+ tion, which contemplates tho actual payment of tho bonis ng they mature, ‘To nccompllsl this he would begin tho coluage of silver dollars to the utmost capacity of tho mints, start nnow the manufacture of legul-tender Government notes, substitute the latter for Natlonal-bank notes, pay out the greenbacks: for the bonds, or use thom to buy silver for that purpose, ant then rasa a tnx of 3 per cent on all Incomes over 81,500, and $ per cent additional on alt incomes over $1,000,—nil to be devoted to the payment of tuaturlng bonds, ‘Lhe main purpose of thts suggestion would be to flood thu country again with unconstitudonn!, Irredeemnble, and worthless serlp, te propare. the way for tho practical repudiation of the debt by cons verting Interest-bonring securities Into none.

But after. the. gentlonen with hob bivs shall have ventilated their vlows to empty seats both on the floor and in the gal- lerles, whieh was Mr, Warner's fate yestor- day, and after proper consideration of tho question from a bitsiness point of view, there is reason to belleye thata bill will pass tho House which shall bu neceptable to the Sen- ate and the Administration, and which shat open the way for the refunding of all tho outstanding Gand 6 per cent bonds {mme- dately upon maturity, and at tho Jowest rate of interest which ever attracted capital. GRANT WHITE'S ATTACK UPON THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, Mr, Richard Grant White has contributed apaper tothe North ctmeriean Review, i which hv pronounces very dogmatically that the public-school system of the United States ly afailure. He claims that thore fs not one of our institutions “so unworthy of cither contilenes or pride’; and that “the ense fs worse than that of mere failure, for the re- sult has been deplorable and threatens te bo disastrous.” ‘This sweeping denunctation is then supplemented by specifications equally aweeping, of which the following area sum marys Tho only valid exouso for educating all chil dren by wtax on alt property—which in 1870. res quiived an aygregute expenditure of 264,000,000 In al the Stites—ig that this wenernd education lessens erie, the cust of which, without the pubily schoals, would execed thoir vost; that this nssumption ts fuleo; that the stativtles of tho several States show x greater proportion of crime, sulvide, and inganity in those States fare thost wlvaneed In pabjlessohool education ian Orr known ag fenorance fg most prevalent; that the pion and substince of the Instruction “tmparted in thuso seboule Is superficial and othorwiso des feetlve; und that tho systum fails to make good oltizens ur to cducate tho children of the puopla in the practienl busiuess of tite, “Public faring, aud public workshops, to traln in thom tts fut+ ure citizens to get thalr own lying honestly and respectably,” would be tt butter Governinent systein of cduention for good citizenship thin tho pubile schools. aA writer, himself educated, and indebted to his education for hig moral status, and for whatever degree of suceess In life ho hes reached, who can sit down, and, In the face of existing facts, coolly make such unwar- ranted assutptions as the above, and declare that a rudimentary education makes n child abad meshanis or bad-farmer or general workman, and takes away from the yalna of fndustrin! pursuits, and hence fs an injury, very nearly writes hiniself down In the anl- mal category where Dogberry so strenuously demanded he should bo fnserlbed. Richard Grant White may bo o very good Shak- spearean scholar, an astute muster! critic, oudan Ingenious aul subtle Investigator of words and thelr uses, but when It conics to education in the public schools and its effect upon the morallties and industries of the country, his screed plilnty shows that tho subject is too large for hin, and that while a writer may-utter n great deal of truth onone topic he may ulter a great deal of bosh upon. another, Mr. White is not alone defectivain his rensuning and superficial In his statements, but ho fs thorouglily lmpractieal. Like Mr. Watterson, ho seems to “Ineit tho sclentiile fuculty and discernment of facts, figures, and statistles, “Public farms and publle work- shops, to train In them Ma future citizens to Rot thelrawn living honestly and respectably, would ‘bo 9 botter Government system of education for goud citizenship than the pub- He schools,” says Mr. White; but how Is the Government to take fifteen millions of chil- dron and place them on Government farms and in Government workshops? If this bo Mr. White's runedy, he eertainly should -haye shown how this colossal undertaking enn bo nccomplished. “lho public schools do not lessen crime,” says Mr, White. Jow, then, does It happen that the great bulk of crime and of pauperism, aud the great bur- den upon publicand private charity, grow out of the lower and more Ignorant strata of soelety? Mow fs It that fn Now England, New York, Ohio, Michignn, and iinols farmers are, ns a rile, well educated, and that the best cduented are always the best farmors? Our schools my not give cnough eilucntion, or thoy may not always give tho best kind or quality, but these ore defects thutean be remedied; and thore has never been a tine whon theremedies wore belug ap- plied more Intelllgontly than now, Igne- rance Is always weakness, and this maxim alone Is a suttictent snawer to Mr. White's entire argument, ‘ho botter a man fe elu cated the more cotitrol he gains over tho forces of Nature fn hls struggle for Mfc, and tho batter ono gendration fs eduentod tha furthor it outstrips Its fmmediate predecessor In the race, ‘Tho intelligent nnd eduented farmer manures his fields, tiledrains lis land, Improves hls roads, his buildings, and his tive stock, Ila knowa how to make labor go farthor and produce more, and to secure to hhn not only the necesalties but the comforts of life, which Ignorant boors never enn have, If Mr. White wants to know Gio results of education on farming, let him examine the oxterlor and futerlorof the homestead of an Intelligent as compared with that of un fge nontnt farmer, “Where one has to earn his living by the hard work of his muscles and slows, tho other necumulates n fortune by the use of Iabor-saviiue machines and fine proved mothods, ‘Tho farmers of this coun- try ara nhend of the farmers of other couns tries because thoy are better oditeatedt. ‘Thosa parts of tho United States aro the most suc- cusatul where education most provalls, und, vice vera, the poorest uid least successful whore education Is least dlifased—to-wit,: {uthe South, It would be ay sonslblo to sn; that sunshine and warmth are less bong alal to vegetation than clouds and cold, «ag that tho dittuston of cduoation is. nok. bonelclal, ‘rho common schools teach the puovle the rudiments of edueution, hoy are the tools by whieli they obtain more. .

'o.,"" TIDE TRIGH CRIGIS, In secking to arrive at an intelligent and hnpartiat understanding of the present erisis in Freland, i should constantly be borne In anind by American redders ‘that nine-tenths of tho dispatches come from'reporters work- ing for the columns of Inndlord newspapers, giving only the Inndlord stdu’of tho question. Dublin swarms with the representatives of English newspapers, whleli are nearly all devoted to the tnndlords, who ,.send their one-sided statements to London, and those in turn are transmitted to this country by cable. Thoside of the Iristrepeople and tho merits of thelr eanse are not reported, ‘heir Injustice, thelr sufferings, tholr opbressions uve kept in the background,..or are only partlaily told. Itisa repetition of what wo have seen In our own country In tho days of Southern slavery, os well as in the later era of terrorism and bulldozing“ practiced upon the negroes, ‘The slaves of former days and, the freedmen of ony time have never had the benetit of the full, true story of thelr wrongs ant sitlferings toll to the world. The slaye- holder and the bulldozer have suppressed the renl facts, Just as the English landlords are doing In the caso of tho Irish tennnt- fartners, None the less the truth now and then comes out and we can get at the real con- dition of affairs, First of all, itis becoming vory apparent that the British Government Is resolved upon the most stringent coercton. But how is coercton golng to nmellorate tho condition of the oppressed people? How 1s the Government going to compel the tenants to nssocinte with thelr brutal evictors ? Mow Is It going to punish one man for accepting adyleo from anothor nian notte pay rack+ rent, for this Ig tho primal offense of the Irlsh tonnnis? What penalties can ft Inillet for refusal to pay rack-rents, for refusal to work-for the Boycotts of Ireland, or for re- fusnt to obey tha orders of landtords? By what machinery of law fs the Government to Inilict penalties for private oplulons and for social likes and dislikes? It would be just as consistent {f our own Government should enforce penalties upon -trades-untons for non-associntion with those outside their membership, or for refusing to work at wages they did not believe to be snilicient. It Js also apparent that there {s 0 crisis tn Trish affairs, that the Land League is rapldly bringing things ton head, and that the rit Ish Government has a job on its hands which will require more than its entstomury brutal- ty and ability to settle, And what Is it all about? What fg ft that hag thrown the clubs and tho politien) cliques into such exelte- ment and has plunged tho Government Itselt into such throes of passion and denuneia- tlon? Shnply that the fish people are taking steps no longer to submit to the payment of donble rents and extst in a state of chronte starvation in order that a few thousand ab- sentee alien fambllus shall enjoy nn cternal plenic ‘Tho Dublin Nation of Dee. 27 begins a “Yeader® in these words: lonuntry of Troland have struck.
