The imported and domestic novelties exhibited have been pronounced superior in variety and styles and [ower in prices ‘than any preceding season. London styles seem most sought after, The new “London tan” shade of kid gloves | with embroidery and binding in black have at- | tracted much attention, as have the “Mikado” parasols, which are quaintiy but _ prettily shaped.

In fact, every department at the Palais Royal seems to succeed, which ts owing, no doubt, not only to having’ new and desirable | goods but low prices.

THE COMMISSIONERS’ PLAN OF SCHOOL MANAGE- MENT DISAPPROVED—ADDRESSES BY JUDGE CARTTER, DRS. CHESTER AND DOMER, MESSRS. WOLF, GIVEN, CLAGETT AND OTHERS. The meeting of citizens at the National Rifles’ armory last evening to consider the public School question was better attended than those who called the meeting expected, on account of the very unfavorable condition of the weather. The hall was well filled. Among those present were Chief Justice Cartter, John T. Given, Simon Wolf, Rev. Dr. 8. Domer, Dr. Robert Reyburn, Thos. Somerville, Jesse B.Wilson, W. H. Clagett, ‘A. M. Clapp, W. ©. Dodge, Rev. G. 0. Little, H. N. Copp, J. 0. Wilson, Wm. M. King, G. Y. AtLee, A. C. Richards, Dorsey Clagett, J. M. Wilson, Rev. Dr. John Chester, C. P. Culver, A. Hart, A, P. Clarke, B.

A number of the school teachers were also in the andience. . Reyburn ealled the meeting to order, and upon bis nomination Chiet Justice Cartter was chosen to preside. CHIEF JUSTICE CARTTER’S REMARKS. Chief “Justice Cartter, upon taking the chair, said it gave him pleasure to meet those present, and especially as he hoped they might do some good in preserving the integrity of our pub- lic schools. 1t was that consideration that rouzht him there, and he believed that «t brought all of them there. There was one thing above all others of which the citizens of W ‘ington were proud. They had ht to be proud of their beautiful streets, of | their thorough sanitary protection, so far as ewers were concerned; of their parks, their trees nd of their population. But among ail these jewels of pride there was none so brilliant as their common schools. The citi- zen of the Distriet of Columbia, who had re- sided here twenty years had seen them de- veloped from elementary conditions to their present fitness, had witnessed their great achievements. "They had silently and quietly at men and women to manhood and womanhood, with better education than the colleges furnished fitty years ago. It was to protect this institution that they were there assembled. “The inquiry that suggested to him was, why disturb the peaceful of these setools? Has there been any lure in their mission or any threatened fail- Why divorce their custody from those to vnner born,thelr natural guardians. Why separate this institution from the peopie and transfer it to the control of political officers of the municipality 2 No answer ean be given to these questions. | No politieal guardianship ean ever benefit the schools. No three men or thirty charged with political duties can man- age these schools so well as the eitizens,who had an earnest and deep interest in theif welfare. What he had to say was, “Let these schools alone, and let them alone in the keeping of their natural custodians.” That ought to be the ery of every citizen. ‘These children cry for it, the men of the next generation call for it. Don’t pollute the system or mix it up with any- thing else. A common school can’t take the breath of a politician without being diseased by it. He did not intend to make a speech; he in- tended only to thank them for the honor of choosing him to preside, and to congratulate them that there was enough of common school Virtue in the community to protest against a change such as was proposed. Mr. J. C. Dulin was elected secretary. ‘A committee of five to draft resolutions was appointed as follows: Reginald Fendall,John A, Baker, John T. Given, Wm. H. Clagett and Wm. A. Gordon. ‘THE CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE, While the committee was out Dr. Reyburn said that the citizens’ committee which had hitherto acted proposed to surrender its charge now to the citizens. They had called the meet- Ing for the purpose of giving every one “oppor: tunity of taking part in this matter and of show- ing that this was not a movement on the part | of the members of the committee only. Dr. Reyburn then briefly expiained the measure | now pending in Congress to create a Loard of | School trustees of twenty-four members with specified powers. The bill, he said, provided for maintaining and continuinga form of school government which had been approved here. Mr. Dulin then read the bill now pending in Congress, DR. CHESTER'S VIEWS. Rev. Dr. John Chester, of the Metropolitan Presbyterian chureh, was called out. He said as he understood it they were assembled as law- abiding citizens, not to contend for revolution, but to contend against a revolution which was sought to be precipitated upon them, The very fact of so large a; gathering on such a stormy night showed that citizens realized very clearly the situation aid the importance of protestin ‘The measure proposed by the Commission was an experiment. The public schools of this city were not an experiment. They were an assured success. When the doctors begin to ex- periment upon @ sound man, the man generally dies. He was opposed to the Commissioners’ measure, becaused it savored of centralization. ‘They were educating the youth of this country in ideas opposed to centralization. Now it was proposedj to introduce centralization in, the management of the schools themselves, This centralization of power took away the very strength and utility of our common school sy+ tem. One ofthestrongestargumentsfor the tras- tee system was that the trustees were men who came in contact with people in their districts He held that they were doing that night a favor to the Commissioners, who bad encugh todo With other mutters relating tothe local government. They had been placed in office hot to educate our people, but to govern, AS ‘well mizht they attempt ‘to regulate the pro- fessions and trades as to legislate for the pub- ite schools. He was satisfied that_the public ‘wanted the common schools of the District con- ducted on the old and successful system. THE RESOLUTIONS.

Senate bill No. 123: board bill, being acodification of existing laws wnd usages relating to the management of the ‘hools, with such modifications as ex- p as shown to be desirable, is hereby Upproved and its enactment recommended.” MR. WOLF'S ADDRESS. Mr. S.mon Wolf said that the resolutions em- bodied in terse language all they contended for. It was but right, however, that they should look a littie further into the matter and see how far they were rightand how far the Com- Inissioners Were wrong. He was there not to offend any one nor to defend the school system, for that needed no deten He repeated what he had said before the Congressional commit- tees, that this bill did not propose any change, or w take away from the District Com- missioners ‘any power they now. exer- cised under ‘the law. They contended that those matters relating to school and not specifically entrusted to the Commis- stoners should be managea by citizens ac- quainted with the needs of the household. ‘they wanted an advisory board, which should daily Visit the schools, hear the wants of teach- ers and scholars, look after their sanitary needs, known as_the school schools; examine and approve all bills of ex- penditures and perform many other duties of an advisory nature, Each of these boards had all the powers and Hnd'some of tnein had ait sreatas power a ‘of them ter powers. The board of trustees for the colored children of Washington and Georgetown, and the board for the county, both of whieh were created by acts of Con; were clothed with power to purchase ail supplies for the schools, to select And parehase "sehool sites, to adope plans and make contracts for the erection of all school buildings. ‘The colored school board elected its superintendent of schools, ‘n 1874 the Commissioners, under the new. form ot government, consolidated these four boards into one board, which assamed the care and management of all the schools under exist- inglaws. From Angust 8th, 1874, to December 30th, 1885, the consolidated board exercised all the powers and performed all the duties which had by law been given to cach of the four boards previously existing, excepting the powers and duties relating to the expenditure of money. As the Commissioners were bonded officers, eld responsible for all expenditures of funds, they fixed all salaries, made all purchases and contracts, ordered all repairs to be made, and had the exclusive control of all expenditures of money. On the 30th Decem- ber last the Commissioners addressed a letter to the trustees, in which they claim that the trustees are not a board; that they have no powers or duties whatever conferred upon them by law; that the Commissioners alone are clothed with’ the power to manage the public Schools, and that the trustees are merely their agents, whose proper duties are chiefly of an advisory nature. The Commissioners are here- aiter to appoint teachers, assign them to their itions, and attend to all the other duties eretofore performed by the trustees of the schools, It is proposed tor a time at least to have what they call an advisory board of trus: tees, the members of which aro to be selected without any reference whatever to a represen- tation of the people residing in the several Scitool divisions, and who are to be clothed with no powers, *to ‘have no responsibilities other than those which may from time to time be delegated to them by the Commissioners. The ¢itizens’ school bill now pending in Congress 1s intended to provide for a board of trustees of publieschools composed of members that shall represent the people who are residents of each School division, and to clearly define by law the powers and duties of said Vourd, MR. WOLF RESUMES, Mr, Wolf, resuming, said this statement showed that the citizens’ bill asked nothing but simply a definition of the powers of the board. The Commissioners, after having for twelve years recognized these powers of the board, now ‘chose to construe the law otherwise, He claimed that there was a misconception as to the pow- ers and duties the boara of trustees should ex- ‘The Commissioners, if they had prop- erly represented the citizens, would have sug- fone that they should draft a bill coverin; th sides of this question. It had been claime that theschool board should beabolished because there had been contentions among the mem- bers. This was natural in any body, and heaith- ful and unobjectionable, provided that their differences arose from eS and just motives and convictions, He did not, for a moment, be- lieve in this ery of a school book ring, of a’sta- tioner, bony Ses coal ring, of a school site ring. He did not believe such things compatible with good government, and that there had been a good government the excellent condition of these schools attested, these schools which won from Europe the highest testimonial and brought back to this city the prize given at the international ex, ition, The citizens could not fail in their efforts, for it was utterly impos- sible that a great Congress, representing the in- telligence of the American people, could fail to see that that which was good for New York or Ohio was Shay. good for this city, where we have no political rights whatever, He approved the bill and the resolutions, because they were just, and asked for nothing but that which was guaranteed under the Constitution, DR. DOMER'S REMARKS, Rey. Dr. Domer, who was called on to speak, said he did not desire to make aspeech, but simply to stand on the right side; it made bim feel good and strong. A question that rose in his mind was, is this the* popular side? are the people opposed to this bill, are. they opposed. to the public schools as conducted thus far? He had made inquiry among those whom he had met about the city, and had not found any one who antayonized the position taken by this meeting. “Have you?” he said, “There may be, but I don't pw of any.” “Gen, Birney,” called out some one in the au- dience. Dr. Domer said hecould not for the life of him explain why it was that they had to fight fora thing that every body wanted, He had talked to the teachers on the sly, but he had not found one single teacher, or married one either, who antagonized the ‘position this meeting’ had taken. He did not know of any teachers on the other side. Why, then, should they tly into the face of their teache It the common school system of the country had grown up to its n nificent proportions under this popular management, what was the use of experi- menting, for the purpose, perhaps, of secing how much the people ot this city “could stand in relation to thelr schools. ‘The people of this city could stand a good deal, but they could not stand any more. They had’ come, positively, to their last stand. He“ was sure,’ from the spirit that was abroad, they would not have to stand any more. "He referred to a report of a state super Intendent on, the, subject of popular govern. ment of schools, He said that in nearly all the States the school boards possessed even greater powers than this bill proposed to give to the School trustees here. The popular system was the American system. It was the system that prevailed when’ the schools belonged to the people; when the schools belonged to some’ one it aight — be enanged, Why should they be antagonized in this mat: ter by the Commissioners? Why should the Commissioners desire this authority and pre- vent the people from taking care of the schools? It was a inystery to him. Ie believed that in this work they had everybody, the teachers, and even the preachers, on their side. THE WIGH SCHOOL BUILDING. Rev. G. 0. Little called attention to the fact that the city had got the High school butlding from the trustees and not from the Commis- sioners, who. been unwilling that the money ‘should be spent for the butiding. ‘They wanted it for streets. Now, without any board. to interfere, the Commissioners would have notbing to prevent thein from using the money for streets, MR. JOHN T. GIVEN, who rose in response to a very general call, said that ithad been asubject of reproach tnat the great mass of those favoring what was famil- jarly known as the citizens’ bill were ex-trus- tees. Asan humble eitizen he was not subject to this reproach—ir it were a reproach, For his part he honored the men who had given of their time and of thelr means to build up the school system here. It was his unpleasant duty, he said, to hear the argument on the side of the Commissioners before the House com- mittee, He felt humiliated. He went there to hear their argument; he ‘came away disap- pointed. ‘There had been no argument to sus- tain Edinouds, West, Birney,and™Me ‘oo, Wm, B. Webb.” ie was" amazed when he ‘heard Mr. Webb's statement of the case, He ad- duced no argument. fe outlined his ease, aborated it Lo a considerable degree. He said he had found chatting, contentions in the 9 t board, when he cutered ‘office, and wanted to apply’aremedy. He said there was scandal connected with the board. ‘The board of trus- tees was not the only body that had mani- festel_a want of harmony. He could have brought that fact a little closer home to the Commissioners. About two years ugo, they remembered, one of the Commissioners be- came case-mmiited, or bomb-proof. For a time, a week or two, he received no company. Subse- quently he’ went off on a tour of pleasure. What was the causcof thelr want of there. Was It not gra Was it not a question whether James B, Ed- monds or ex-Senator West’ should take the control of matters and dole out patronage, was itnot in bad taste that Mr. Webb shoul make this a subject of complaint against the board? Jommissioner West imsiating his case indulged in vituperation and abuse, ‘The barden of his talk was a denunciation of a former superintendent of the public schools, Mr. J. 0. Wilson, a purer, a more upright, moral, loveable citizen Washington, has never Deen biest with. (Applause.) As to hisefficiency, the present condition of the public schools will attest. They stand asamonument to his worth, He urged the citizens to act asa unit in this matter, to Wage unrelenting war, until their rights were not only nized, but secured and protected. He asked that the eltizens there should count him in 4 apy movement they might make against the attempts of these Com missioners—he had almost said these con. spitators conspiring against good order and the hopes and aspirations of hundreds and thousands of families as represented by these children in the public schools, MR. W. I, CLAGETT, who was In the audience, was called and spoke briefly. He had been, he said, in a state of “inocuous desuetude” since’ July, 1874, and he came near not coming to this mecting. Tiere was nothing at the bottom of this question, he, thought, except that they re distranchised. He hoped this movement regarding the schools would take root, ‘The pavlic, school system was the last that was eft them of popular government, He wanted the trustees, but he wanted to vote for them. Ae was not even willing that the Commission- ers should appoint them. He wanted the people to govern the schools, “He did not want {ne schoois raised to such a rarified atmosphere that the poor children could not go. He wanted the schools to come down to hard-pan, to give the poor children the first chanee, and if there ‘Was any room left tolet the rich in, ete. To show that they did not wish to encroach upon the powers of the Commissioners, be usked their ferbearance while the secretary read a brief history of the school system here, __THE HISTORY OF THE SCHOOLS.

In the spring of 1884 .an eruption appeared on the backs of my hands. Isupposed I was poisoned by ivy. My hands continued to grow worse until the fall, ‘when Iconsulied medical advice, and used many re- medies to no purpose. Instead of getting better they rapidly grew worse, being a mass of watery, festering, raw flesh, very offensive and annoying. Whenever a part would heal up %t would be subject to the most vio- lent itching and immediately break out worse than before. Little watery spots then appeared on my finger joints, and festering would spread over a large surface. In this condition I began the uso of tie CuTI- CURA REMEDI=S. In one week's time my hands were almost well, and in a short time entirely cured. JNO. D. VAUTIER Pier 37,8. Wharves, Philadelphia, A COMPLETE CURE.
