I'plaloasdn the latter body upon lla provisions, were as diverse in number as there were sections In the Bill. It was 1 entitled a Bill "to remove certain bur- : data in the American Merchant Marine, to ' encourage the American foreign carrying ' trade and to amend the" lawe relating to 1 the shipment and discharge of teamen." It ie .generally admitted that Its passage ' is a sup in the right direction, and will j have the effect of including other meaaurea having a tendency to bring back our j former prestige as a great oocan carrying : nation. _________ The report of the U. B. Conuniwiooer I of Education for the year 1880, which i has lately emanated Iran the office of the Government Printer, contains many Batters of valoe and Interest to the friends of adocatlon, and will be recurred to now that Bills are before the Senate, having for their object the appropriation of Gov. enunest monies for theporpeaetof education. It is of an exhaustive, and at the abounding with statistics from official sources from the different Statoe and Territories which cannot fail of guiding. The father* of the Republic ever held to the doctrine, thai Its permanence,— that civil liberty itself, depended upon Use education and Inldligonoe of Use people. To this doctrine, every statesman, whether be be a Democrat or a RepuMIcan, will give his hearty and cordial asTbe question of supporting Use cause of occasions than one been dragged into Use political arena, and uposs the eve of a Presidential election, and for the sole purpose of influencing votes without any regard for either that cause or the interests of Use people.

Logan, in hit last and final remarks ins opposition to Ihe bill, and after Use light of truth lsad been shed all around his path, in the depth of his desperation and chagrin, said. "I here "spoken limAnd again upon this subject; of courar, with-, out effect." llow the darkness of diaap- - pointed ambition hovered over him! 1 Plainly, be saw, mhlst all, the hand-writ- - ing upon Use wall.

To his credit be it mid, ' Cameron just before the vole wss - about to be taken on Uie bill, are* in his I place and vindicated Gen.

Morse, Holme, Milllgan and Garrison. The County Superintendent is by law , constituted the general supervisor of the . - schools of the oHicty. His duties are ic- . sponsible and arduous; among U-cniwff*- li , the following: He is chairman of thr s Board of Examiners, and must see tolt „ that no improperly qualified persons anallowed to receive certificates; be must 1 meet boards of trustees and make sugges- ' tions tnon^in^ regard loathe manage- » , scribe a coorve of study and a scrim of . text books to be used In the schools; he 1 e roust meet with the teachers, and give I . instruction in methods of discipline and c reaching; he roust rWi the the schools lo r an whether good, efficient wort is door • there; roust decide ail disputes arising c . under the school law, and he the general t adviser and awisunt of all school officers, f In carrying out the requirements of the > 1 law, there are many polnu arising, dlffl1 cull where mutual ad rice and consul lae tion would be helpful. f Feeling the ^nintsily Jfn Jjhla regular "] 1 agreed to form an aawicialion to meet at ^ 1 staled inlervala Mr. Miltigan was choaen ' 1 chairman and Mr. Garrison, secretary. 1 Borne of. the subjects spoken of for dis- ■ cuaskm wrre methods of conducting ex- "J 1 subjecu to he examined in, improved 1 . methods of teaching, branches to he taught [ , in the several grades, cour* of study, and , teachers' meetings. > In each of the oounties rrprreented and ' f alao in'Oape May, a course <>f study has 1 . lieen prescribed lor some years, whlti has c , been s great be! p In furthering the Interests , of education. By means of this coarse of . " study the standard of public acbool work ' i has been made much higher than in form- 1 1 er yrars.

;rroai«u jparulsr Ocrreapoo4eot.i Wisutxorox, D. C., Jan. 15. 1888I The past week has been a busy and jni toresticg week in Washington. The city > is so full of people that the large* hotels r are turning away guests, and one can . imagine the pressure upon the boardiag i h -sucs. We have also been favored with , a heavy snow, the remains of which SliU . cover the asphalt stfeeta and avenues. I Tb- cilirens' sleighing carnival on Friday n brought out an immen* crowd to witc not tbr grotesque pageant of ell Imaginable devicea nn runners, filled by people, B- some of them gentlemen and ladies in ■ Congress has been working with great 1 energy, and one can visit the capital any 1 day. sure of bearing an interesting dc- , bate. The appropriation bills Were passed _ in one day, and one of these, the Pension 1 Bill, appropriated 8S8»000,000: The' bill . now pending before Congress to give Nali tional aid to education dees not seem to i measure of great Interest lo thinking peo1 pie. Of course, since illiteracy prevails i mostly in the southern states imongst the i. Degrees, the measure will be beat appre- - dated by thst sectioo; bat Its general >. beneficial revolts would be felt all over tbe ii country. One reason that this bOl is not hurried forward is because there is no » lobby behind 11 to stimulate Congressional I action. The lobby has become a noxiously i. essentia! agency, and well deserves the xiame of the third Hook. Tbe Shipping BID which arms finally n passed by the Hou* on Priday must be !l accepted as an important piece of legislait tion. Whatever may be said in fee way of regret as tbe Mil did not pass as it came t from the Commerce Committee, it will o" still sufficiently protect the shipping interjr est which is happy over Its success. The d effort midc by Mr. Cox, of New York, I, for free ships and free material was not s crowned with success, although there is s s modest little section in the bill whicti r practically amounts to the free admission t of material used in ship building. When- ■. ever tbe business of sailing around the ir world becomes profitable, there will be no d difficulty in building the ships in tbe UnL ted States. c You have beard of the temporary oocug patioo of the Speaker's chair by Mr. I; Smalls, the colored member of Congress 1, from South Carolina Eight or ten years il ago when there were tlx colored repiescnago wneu mere were sis coiorea repiesen- r

tatires In Congress, it was not unusual to one of them in the Speaker's cbalr, but such a spectacle is rare aow-a-days. Tbe 1 for a wonder was usually quiet, and Smalls was not oooe obliged to ting ' out "order, gentlemen." Tbe reason of , quietude seems to be comprehended Mr. Smalls While riding in a car to capital Ibe otber day be was accosted j by an old gentleman with the patronizing I remark, "Mr. Smalls, I never saw ao < good order in the Hou* as when you sat ' the Speaker's chair yesterday." Mr. reply to this compliment was, "While men don't like to be ordered by a | colored man to be quiet." Tbe prospects of a special session of , C.mgrcaa'arc not very promising. Conservative Democrats talk and act as though ■ tbey do not mean to bare a special session ; after the 4lh of March, if they can prevent it. Republicans are not in anywise i particular, fot although they will lo* the Speakership tbey will gain the Presidency of the Senate. According to the present rale of pushing legislation. Congress, unless by the ' continued action of Filz-Jobn Porter, Whisky, and Tariff lobbies, will not find cod of a. special session. Such being tbe case, the gentlemen who are busy working up Speakership booms, in anticipation of a speriai session are simply fighting a battle which will have lo be fought over in tbe fall. Tbe 134 Republicans in the Dext Hou* will qhislly constitute themselves an audience and watch the progress of the fight - going on in the enemy's camp with no ; small degree of interest. They lttfl have no prevailing voire in tbe voting, but tbey can applaud and hist, and make themselves agreeable as opportunity presents itse',!. It is ex prided thst about thirty memof the National Republican Commit- ' will be at tbe meeting lo be ink1 here uu Wednesday lo settle the qureRon ot representation oo the district plan, in actional Convention will probably not be at this meeting, as <>oe more will held before tbe Convention is called. Il appears that the surprise and satiswith which many advocates of Tariff Reform greeted the report of the Tariff Commission was premature. Furthin many items where there are apparent jnooninHndalions of important inductions, the report really recommends higher duties. Tbe* insidious proposals are wrapped up in language which can only be understood by experts, but furtunalcly experts hare Ml been warning lo expose their real nature. And as if Ibis discovwere no: en >ugh to vitiate there port, the Ways sod Means Committee of thr House, io revising the schedules proposed by tin Commission, is seizing tbe opporunity u> recommend higher duties in atiti siun now is tint the Commission's report could not be adopted as II Stands without doing more harm than good, and that what little g<«"i there is will be found .r..nin.i^t by the time the modifications ot the Ways and Means Committee are completed. It is bocoming more and more apparent every day that il will remain for Ibc next Congress, with its Democratic majority, lo effect a reform of the tariff that will be something more than a sham. Tbe woe* of the Tariff Commission has justified sll the predictions made on the score of its legislative UKleesoeea, while it has al»> belied Ibe of its friers Is as U) lu influence, in girinc greater stability to tbe existing sysof import duties. But the creation good remit, that of forcing the absurdities of tariff legislation oo the attention flf the to a more radical revmou than before the apiwintuient or Ui« commission w» denned possible. Apropos of this tanff subject 1 am cooatraiord lo quote a letter re centir received by the Hoe. 6. Cox It Is ia the nature of an sppyal for an infant industry yet unborn, tat ofwMeh the acoocbiutnt is soon expected. Mr. Cox will dualities, tee to it that lo tb* great work of tariff revision, the plaintive rout not drowned out by the bawling of Judge Ed ley's more lusty icfanli; "I 1 am going into the business of ratsiDg pineapple* and other tropual fruits in bo; natg t=d I want proteerioo again* the •pmper later' 4 the We* Indies for my 3gSll S*™4' *r"sir

A Holiday Incident. J fr. Editor: — Tbe following incident came under my own observation, lit recital may create fresh views lo the minds| of sqn* ss to the relations existing lie-' ' tween abject poverty and what we geocrI confess to have bees aomewbal nonplused E myself, and the little affair rather blunted i the hiibeno keenly amative points of my 1 sympathetic nature. It was on la* New Year's morning. A ' heavy fro* oovertd the ground, and the air was oueomfortabiy chilly. Stepping - upon oae of the station platforms, not , many rqifcs from Cape May, I encountered t a little barefoot urchin who bqd endured tht frost* of about eight winter*. He 1 was standing on the sunny side of the r building, evidently trying to appropriate - what Utile warmth there was to be itad 1 from old Soil rays in mid-winter. It 3 almost scut an lcenea over and* through 1 me lo witness such a spectacle of the auf- - feringt, as I looked upoo it. of tbe priea5 tions and exposures of poverty. My j • vympathire went oot after him restaWrr, ■ - aid here thought I, is a opportunity to do ' • good on this the first dsv of the New j ' Year. .But listen: » "MeUo, my little fellow, aren't you ! J very cold* Come in the boa* and warm c your feet. Haven't you got any shoes:-" • ' He looked up apparently smused.shuO; 0 hts bead, but not sadily, and then s j thought struck him: and he jerked out r "Yes, I've got a pair home, but they e hain't got no soles on." If you*U come with me I'il get you a r new pair. e Again be shook his head, and smiled a e smdc that seemed brighter than thfc suof sbinc. Tripping off lo a thick patch of e fro* in a shady spot be began to dance >1 upon it, aad then to scrape It up with his bare toes. e "Dosen't thst make your feel cold?" I , asked.. < Again 1 was Haggered by bis reply. ti I then noticed he was also cnatlms, and t> 1 tried to warm him up Use, n d ion of slI- lowing me lo give him aouie gbod warm e jackets from my own boys' out-grown o wardrobe, but be tripped lightly away i- and would have none of my charily. I gave him up, and have ever since i- been trying to determine in my own '• mind whether, after all, this matter ol be- • ing "kind to tbe poor" isn't very much • like drawing your bow at s venture and >- shooting st a random. B.

I have noticed some articles going -the _ rounds of the papers, no doubt raisnaling j from Mr. Burk. 1 do nut wish lobe misrepresented before the public. 1st. I have lust no lawsuit with bim. 3d. Tbe srrest of Mr. Burk upon the charge of forgery was not malicious, but iq became s neceiiity under an sct.of Assent- w bly ahich makes it s misdemeanor to conceal tbe knowledge of a felony, whin obtained in tbe progress of a suit or otherwise. Tbe alteration was sworn to by Cbas. D. Midd Irion. 5 North Front St., and G. _ W. Middle! on. No. 129 Walnut St., f| Phils., both responsible and respectable u gentlemen, sod besides the psprr under a magnifying glass shows' tbe alteration. This rsv is not yet decided. The I Messrs. Middletoo have sworn to the same facts bv written affidavit in a cause before u the ChsDOcllorof tbe Stale of New Jei*y, and tbe ca* will hare a full trial before this high Court. G II ia true that I have had lawsuits with Mr. Burk. but let the public suspend q judgment sod in time it will he found what valuable assistance I have had from my confidential clurk since 1875, when I entrusted him with my books sod papers, the transaction of myjnisioeas, sod gave him my confidence.

Thanksgiving Ic to ; Christmas. : Twenty business days intervene between these two holidays, and we propose to make them, if possible, the greatest days of aH the year for Oak Hall sales. We are thoroughly prepared with Overcoats and Suits for Men of all sizes and Boys of all ages. All that remains is for tlie people that 5 trade in Philadelphia to believe what we say and come for ' our goods. t *> W d Prices are Extremely Low. ' Our goods have been well bought, and most of them cannot I* replaced at cost prices. Costs, however, have nothing to do with our selling prices. Priefcs are made in Oak 1 ■ Hall solely with reference to the cost of reproducing the | goods. If we make, it is well, if we lose it is baa; but j ] make or lose, the buyer has the least possible price. ! The stock contains, made and making, over 10,000 Over- j, coats; over 200 lines of "men's and young men's suits; over ■ 1 60 lines of suits for large and small boys. The value of ' this stock was, thirty days since, over One Million Dollars. ! It is less now, but still very big, and big enough for all who will come. Fresh goods put in stock daily. A special baigain now on our counters is our $12.00 Fancy-back Cassimere Overcoat, which, however, is only one among a great host of interest- . ing things.
