It is de voted to education and its editor aptly says; “Our teachers in order to i eep up with the tiiu-s, must read more. The teachers who fail to rea l education d m ig.izines et cetera, and thus keep posted with the methods of the new education, may put it down »«s an established m xim that their days and useful ness are numbered. On Sunday I. s , at Berlin, says a cablegram, a de-iitute locksmith’s apprentice named Bochnicke threw a stone through the well known corner window in the Impeiial Palace at which Emperor William is accustomed to sit. He was ar rested. His action it is supposed was inspired by a desire to attract attention to his needy condition or to secure notoriety. He suc ceeded in making an immediate sensation, and a great <r..wd assem bled near the window. The Em peror was not struck and he appear ed at the window to assure the peo pie of his entire safety and was cheered ent h usiast ica 11 y. The suggestion that it w u'd accomplish more re il good to the co'ored people to have the amount due depoitn: a of the defunct b reed mao’s Bank, go to the endowment of an educational or charitable inati tution on a national basis, should commend itself to the jodgment of the public so as to command a suf ficient number of votes in both houses to warrant the passage of the law.— [People’s Advocate, Washington. We don’t know the ni-me of the h statesman who fathers the proposi- F tion suggested by the Advocate. We cannot see how Bro. Cromwell I could endorae such a movement, it strikes ns that the defrau led depositors in this great swindle would like to be heard from on the question. It is very probable how ever, that when Congress acts in the near future it will be in such a way that the money will goto those who are entitled to receive it.

L Tirnluilm, Comptrol ler of the Cmrenix, has made a .•port to Congress on the •ifftirsof the Freedman’s s tvings and Trust Co npany. It shows on D *••. mba 4th a balance on hand ol $7,719 Jhe Comptroller strongly urges the government to assume the li ibili tieS of the institu ion to thedepo i tors. He allows that “more than •S,UO ( ' du|»"-i'’" ' h'd ' their cred it at the tin eof the "failure ..f the Bank O*dy $5 or less each, and it miy be necessary that these be sought out and paid with as little cost to them as possible, while thousands of others have still at their credit amounts so sin ill as to b** entitled to a like share of • j • „ » cousideta mn. The Cmiptroller is quo el as saying it would seem proper t.» ■Pow at least three yeais for the o'eseutation mid auditing of these claims, and sugges's Jan. 1, 1890, a$ the term of final liquid item. He is inclined to think that the esti mate of his immediate predecessor that $1,000,000 would be sufficient to settie all demands, hk< 1 to be proved,*s correct. In hisreporty the Comptroller reflects strongly <m the former managers ol the institu tion, He says that the Congression al investigation in 1879 revealed nothing but a hopeless tangle in- Mplved and disputed re< konings. Nearly every man of position and means had wiihdrawn preparatory to the collapse in 1874 and the few that remained had never given ade quate attention to the concern. Some of the active managers, the Comptrollers says, come it ider strong suspicion of di-hone-ty, yet no criiriiual proceedings have ever been taken, nor has recovery been attempted through the proce.-s of the law.

THE INTER OCEAN has from the befirinnlnsr been the defender of home institutions and American ideas. It is the advocate of eaual riflfhtß for all be fore the law. of protection to American labor, and o* - the idea that America is for Americans-not neo essarlly Americans by birth, but true citizens of the Republic. It believes in the West and Western men, holds to the idea that the future seat of em pire will be in the Mississippi Valley, and is bold and a.'trfessive in its opposition to the unholy alli ance between the money-changers of New York City and The States lately in rebellion. THF INTER OCEAN is earnestly in favor o' the Republican party'because it believes the principles of that party are correct, and that, honestly car ried out, they will best protect the rights and ad vance the interests of the whole people.
