One week from today the public schools of the District of Columbia will be opened for the coming scholastic year. About eleven hundred teachers will greet the nearly forty-five thousand pupils and will at once proceed with the more or less diffi- cult task of training the youthful mind so that it may be the better prepared for suc- cessful participation in the struggle for ex- istence. With this momentous effort there is much public sympathy, but in this com- munity that sympathy cannot be appiled as practically as it is In other American cities. Here the residents are required to contribute in taxes all that could be ex- pected of them, but Congress alone has the right to say how the money shall be spent, and therein is the reason why the public school systen: in Washington is less effect- ive than it should be. Educationally, our system ranks high—even if it is a trifle top- heavy—but it suffers many a handicap that ought not te be. A considerable number of the buildings need a great deal more of re- pairing than could possibly be given them; the needs were made plain to Congress, but that body saw fit to be what it termed “economical” in places where economy was folly, and as a result Some extremely un- desirable features of school life are still in annoying existence. This improper eondi- tion of affairs will soon cease to be if the issioners and Congress will only heed the sincere recommendations of the board of school trustees; in whose estimates (now in the hands of the Commissioners and soon to be submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury) proyision has been conserva- tively made for all things deemed essential. Extraordinary effort should not be neces- sary to bring about a sufficient appropria- tion of public funds to put in first-class order every school building In the District of Columbia, but so strangely are we gov- erned that great pressure is often needed to achieve results that should not be re- garded as remarkable. Aside from the disabilities to which ref- erence has been made, the schools will un- doubtedly be in excellent shape. The corps thoroughly capable and bent -will have the hearty support operation of those who are charged with administrative authority. It is un- fortunate that the program for the year does not contain more of manual craining fn {ts various forms, but everything possi- ble to the board of trustees has beer done, and much more will be done, if our city council, which is the national legisiature, will only give force to the recommenda- tions of the board as to manual-training institutes. The demand for education of the most practical sort steadily increases, and sooner or later the demand will have to be supplied. The work of making good citizens of thousands of boys and girls will proceed as usual throughout the scholastic year about to open, but, whatever may be the accom- plishments along that line in the immediate future, they will be insignificant when com- pared with what wfil be done when the manual-training propositions of the board have been fully realized. ——__+ e —_ A Suggestion to the War Department. United States troops the whole country over are now engaged tn practice marches and in the doing of such other duty in the field as is itkely to add to their soldierly efficiency. The field-service idea Is a good one but it has not yet been carried far enough. There is annually more or less of station-changing because troops become Weary of one locality, especially if it be of the undesirable sort, and in their restive- ness find excuses for desertion. It is now the custom to transport troops from post to post by railroads, and in some extreme instances the custom is a good one, but It would be much better for all the parties concerned were the transfers effected by marching. Such a method would afford the troops all the benefits they now secure by these’ autumnal exercises and at the same time the people would have half an opportunity to know what a soldier looks Uke and is in time of peace. An astonish- ingly large percentage of the dwellers in the agricultural regions have never seen a soldier of the regular army and mainly for that reason have no interest in the organi- zation. The War Department can do valu- able educational work and at the same time save a little money if it will reduce its patronage of railroads to a minimum. The results will be profitable all around. ——_+ +» —____ The public likes to be deferred to. It Is never advisable for a candidate to appear to take his election too much as a matter of course. Mr. Bryan was probably appre- henstve that a speech by him from the steps of the Capttol might be regarded as @ very premature dress rehearsal. —_++s+—___ The Maine Prodigy. Chairman Hughes of the democratic state committee of Maine is entitled to more than passing notice. He is easily the most interesting discovery sinee Dr. Lemuel Gni- liver unearthed tae man capable of extract- ing sunbeams from cucumbers. Under the very shadow of the republican majority descending in Maine, Mr. Hughes is buoyant and chock full of explanation. All he says, too, carries hope and comfort, or is calculated to do so, to the silver breast. Appearances to the contrary, silver, be says, has been making, and will. today record, wonderful progress in Maine. Three montis ago—to wit, at the time the Hon. Arthur Sewall and his friends were writing a gold platform for the Maine delegates to Chicago to stand on—there were not five thousand silver democrats, Mr. Hughes says, in the whole state of Maine. He is dealing in round numbers, and evidently favors Moeral estimates. He might have made the figure five hundred, but he wisely Geclded not to give the opposition any ex- cuse for carping and threw in forty-five hundred for good measure. Tcday fifty-five thousand votes will be thrown for silver, which, as Mr. Hughes contends, shows the marvelous strides the cause has made in the state. Here, undoubtedly, is a lightning calcu- lator. And the value of his discovery ts |.-‘I couldn’t help it,” was the reply. iamcese oer to Saratoga three months ago shouting for gold and Whitney. Today those worthies are boarding their train for Buffalo shouting for Bryan and free silver. A clear gain for silver, made after a thor- cet eotireieo examination of the ques- “Take Pennsylvania. Four months ago the democrats of that state declared for gold. Last week a fragment of the party declared for silver. But that fragment was a clear gein for silver. It ‘wes unknown four months sg0. The fact that Maine is going republican overwhelmingly today, and that New York and Pennsylvania are certain to follow sult in November, largely with the assistance of democratic votes, detracts nothing from Mr. Hughes’ system of mathematics. His object 1s only to show the growth of silver sentiment in the country; and by holding that three months ago there was no silver sentiment in the east at all, but that now thousands will vote for Mr. Bryan, he sustains himse!f to his own satisfaction. He is a very remarkable man, this Mr. Hughes. Mr. Bryan reeds him in his business. ————— nes The New “Cure.” One by one the fads blossom and wilt. In spite of the excitement of a presidential campaign, people with the leisure and in- clination to magnify the small things of life have not neglected their favorite pur- suits. The hygienic fad is one of the most common and persistent of its genus. Its obsolete forms are ridiculous, but its every new appearance brings ardent devotees flocking to its standard. The biue glass craze is laughed at now, but it was taken seriously in its day; quite as seriously as the bare-foot cure is now taken by the New York people whose unprotected pedals scatter the matin dew in Central Park. The hygienic fad is unobjectionable, excepting when it is permitted to become a boresome topic of conversation. In fact it has its possibilities of actual benefit. This benefit, however, results in a round-about manner in most cases. It is unlikely that the bare- foct pedestrians will Imbibe medicine from the d-w; but it is altogether probable that getting up early enough to find the dew will insure a regularity of habits and a supply of fresh air calculated to produce desirable results. —___ + =____ The campaign biographer has been ex- ceptionally busy. From the .magnificent eulogies of all the candidates in the field the soothing inference may be drawn that the country will be reasonably safe no matter which is elected. 0 oe Li Hung Chang’s statement that there is no doubt that President Cleveland is the head of his cabinet is one which will have to go unchallenged. ———- 2. oe —___ Mr. Hill still asserts that he is a demo- erat, but when it comes to designating which kind he is compelled to pause and ponder. —___+ +e ____ A Chicago newspaper has a department entitled “Impressions from Idiotville.” Chicago never was consptcuous for local pride. If the public only knew it Mr. Coxey is doubtless saying some very sarcastic things about the front steps of the Capitol just now. —_~> = —_____ In a case involving a demand on his gold- supply, John Bull never hesitates about letting the other man do the worrying. ——__ + +2 —___ It looks as if some of the sultan’s numer- ous promissory documents were about to go to protest. —_~+-—___ Only one hundred and twenty-five men were employed on the rew city post-office building today. ———__e+_ Senator Hill at the present time looks lke @ politician who can not find a job that suits him. -____ SHOOTING STARS. Powerful Competition. “Young man,” said her father, “I think you are a straightforward, energetic per- son, and I shoujd not object to you in the slightest as a son-in-law. However, my daughter's wishes in such a matter must be consulted. “Do you not think that she’ will even- tually return my devotion?’ “Very likely. But you. must. give her time. She has just bought a new bicycle, you know.” Li Hung Chang's Jmprensions. Go ahead and write your book, If you think your people need it. We will thank our lucky stars None of us can ever read it. The Only Gleam of Charity. “How did the critics treat Jingoll'® music?" - “Um. Well, the kindest thing they said about it was that It was not original.” The Important Part. “It seems to me,” said the editor to the rew reporter, “that It took a good deal of time for you to interview that man.” oy had to spend seven or eight hours reading up the files of the paper, so as to find out what you'd like me to have him say.” A Grateful Recognitia: “Down wit’ de gover’ment,” exclaimed Plodding Pete. “We're oppressed and dewn-trod!"” “Dat shows de ongratitude of youse fel- lers,” sald Meandering Mike, contemptu- ously. “You seems ter ’magine dat ‘cause yer need a shave ye've gotter go de whole trip an’ be er howlin’, bomb-t’rowin’ anar- chist. De gov’ment 1s de bes’ frien’ we've got, an’ I hate ter hear ye talkin’ dat way "bout it, wit’ winter most here.” What's winter gotter do wit’ it?” “Ye ain't countin’ cn sleepin’ outer doors, are ye “N-no. “Well, who is it but de gov’ment dat puts up t’ree-story jafls wit’ steam heat an’ t'ree meals a day in ‘em? It’s de gov'ment, an’ I takes off my hat every time it's men- tioned.” Comfort. “Don't you think,” said the sentimental girl, “that there's a sadness gathers as the first of October approaches?” “Oh, I don’t know,” said the man who is grossly practical. “The first of every month has its annoyances. That’s when the rent comes due and the bills drop in. But at the same time it’s a salary day, and that kind of equalizes things.” Occupted. It’s often that ye hear of an offictal ‘Thet contemplates a-droppin’ out of view, On account of office bein’ prejudicial Ter his own affairs thet needs attendin’ to. He's afraid o’ fallin’ back in his perfession An’ some day gittin’ stranded unawares, So he makes ambition yield, weth great dis- cretion, Ter the “urgency of personal affairs.” I haven't got a case in litigation, Nor office calls of any sort ter mind. But the farm begins ter threaten ruination, ‘An’ the garden-truck is runnin’ "way be- hind.
