_EVENING STAR. Editor. Mr. Dorman B. civil service advisory ‘eform, and at a meet. » Thursday evening , after alluding to who have disgraced the bench, and to the fact that the public have now an opportunity to express by ballot their opinion on the question whether judges should be elected or appoi proceeds to give rea- cons why the latter course should be adopted. Among these reasons are the following :—That the system was untried when tirst adopted; that the people did not demand it, nor was there any cussion before them; that the election of a ige is demoralizing and unfavorable to jus- tice; that it has increased the number of party mercenaries; that it arouses passions and preju- dices; that appointments made by the governor will still be under the control of the people; liciary. CROSRY 8. Largest Cirenlation in the District WASHINGTON CITY: MONDAY.. .October . 197: Jastice to our Tax payers. If entirely in order, we « dl be glad to ca the attention of the Cincinnati papers, that ha bad so much to say about the financial condi- tion of the public schools of Washington, to the following paragraph from the Am an Educa tional Monthly tor November, under the head of *Ohio.—Cincinnati.” The question of continaing instruction in | German in the public schools of Cincinnati is seriously diseusse the complaint against it rES being the expense ‘it entails.

On the other hand the city of Washington, with little wealth or productive resources, has been called upon to fustain the enormous burdens of | providing free education for the immense -‘con- band” population thrown upon the city by Lest calculated to secure pure men for the bench, it is probable that the next legislature will amend the law accordingly. | | | | “St. Nicholas,” Scribner's new magazine tor | girls and boys, has made its appearance, and is | @ most attractive specimen of typography, il | | ' | lustrations, and young-folk reading matter is edited b ‘Gall Hamil Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, on,” but another Mary Dodge,) the war, and also for the large number of chil- | Who has for some years conducted the children’s dren of government employes who are not tax- | Jcpartment of He wd Home.

Would it not be the fair thing for the papers of Cincinnati, Philadelphia, New York, and other cities that have crippled school treasuries of their own, to recognize the peculiar difficnities under which the tax-payers of this District Jabor in having te educate an abnormal and enormously dispro- portionate number of children, thrown upon them by the exigencies of the war, and through the liberality of the system by which our school Fooms are opened to the children of non-tax- payers temporarily resident in Washington ? ——— ATTENTION!

Thisisa good way of ‘warning the keepers of gambling houses to “lay low” until the storm blows over. And now the question of he authorship of ‘the famous dispatch, ‘‘Shoot him on the spot,"’ has been rased again by a Boston pundit. There can be no question what should be done to him on the spot. Only four more days remain after to-day which tax-psyers can avail themselves of the reduction on their bills of 6% per cent. FINANCISL AND COMMERCIAL. The New York Herald of yesterday has the foliowing regarding the transactions in Wall street om Saturday: ‘The street to-day has Leen ful of strange and indescribable in- flueaces, There has been nothing of purpose elicited, consequently nothing to call for alarm. | Those who, ranging themselves on the “bear” side, bave told “short” have done so simply in obedience to street rumors, and for the next twenty-four hours they will be nervously await- ing the acme of the situation. Those who have patiently awaited the developments of the future are not likely to be disappointed becanse | prices are too low to be natural. The market is | abnormaily weak, and the ‘bear’ party are oor. The issue at present is between Vander- | bilt and the “street”—the power of suppositi- | tions money on the one hand and the power of a multitude on the other, who propose to ‘sell | what they do not own,” and risk their credit his strength. ’This is only another emf the street, and it will be decided during the next ten days.” The M ets, Battimore, October 27 —Virginia6’s, consolida- ed, 43; Wem ‘Virginia, 8 id to-day.
