The Philadelphia Press calls attention to the Glenn bill, now pending in tho Logisla ture of this State, which prohibits the education of white and colored children in the samo schools, and says that the proposal to pass it is “an affront to civilization.” The Press deals with the bill from a parti san, rather .than a common-sense, stand |ioint. The bill, as we have already ex plained, only provides the means for making effective the organic la w of the State. There can lx* nothing -aid against the bill, there fore, which cannot be said against the State constitution. Bat is not tho prohibition in the constitu tion against mixed schools a wise one < The ablest men of this State think it is With out it there could lx* no public schools, and both white and colored children would suffer a very serious privation. Apparently, how ever, the Press would rather have tho chil dren of the two races grow up in ignorance than that a few white people, who want to educate their children in schools set apart for the colored people, should bo deprived of tin* privilege of doing so. If the Press is so much in favor of mixed schools, vvhv (loos it not advocate them for Pennsylvania instead of Georgia? If it thinks they would be a good thing for Goor gin it surely ought to think they would be a good thing for Pennsylvania. The truth is that the /Yeses Is not sincere. If it were it would insist that tho children of the two races in Philadelphia should be educated in the same schools, and it would condemn all such exhibitions of race prejudice as that witnessed lately at Anbury Park, N. J. It knows very well, however, that if it wero to do anything of that kind it would soon And itself losing favor with a great majority of it.s readers. It regards it safe, however, to condemn race prejudice in Georgia and it does so for a political pur pose. It can hardly expect, however, that its hypocrisy will |mss unnoticed. Tho people of Georgia understand much better than tho Press does how to deal with the color question so far as Georgia is con cerned, and it is certain t hat they have a much greater regard for the interests of the colored people than the Press has. In keep ing the races separate in the schools tho aintv is to promote the welfare of both the white and colored people, and this policy is found work so well that there is no prospect at present that it will lie abandoned. Thorough Investigations Needed. Tho complaint is frequently mado in Georgia that coroners’ juries do not dis charge th**ir duties as thoroughly as they ought. It often occurs when a crime is committed and the circumstances surround ing it arc* complicated, that the conclusion reached hy the jury is hasty, and, therefore, tlm inquest is a failure so far as reaching the criminal is concerned. Some years ago a man was murdered in a North Georgia county nml his body placed upon a railroad track. It was, of course, the intention of tho murderer to create the impression that his victim hftd beon killed by a train. The discovery of the body before a train passed prevented the success of the cimn.'ugly de vised plan. The jury summoned to hold an inquest spent perhaps half a day in that work and then found a verdict fixing the murderjqsm a man who had threatened tho life of the victim. There were suspicions against another man, but tho jury did not consider them of suffloieat importance to warrflfct investigation. When the man charged with tho murder was tried he was acquitted, because he was able to prove an alibi. Subsequently, but when too late to p emit of bis arrest, it was discovered that the other man against whom tin r * were sns pinions at the timo of the inquest, was the nm Merer. It was plainly the duty of the jury in the •*nso under consideration to follow up all suspicions, it mattered not with whom they were connected. The same thing is true of all other cases of like or greater complica tions. The jury which investigated tho murder of O<}orge Smith on Tybee Island lias be( ii commended for its painstaking work, and there is no doubt that the commendation is deserved. It would have been well, how ever, if the jury had continued its investi gations somewhat further before render ing its verdict. For instance, the woman in the oaso should have Ik*ou examined, and so should have b*en the little girl, the negro boy, the hnckman that drove the woman from tho wlmrf to her home, and even t 'assidy himself. Tluv-o things an* not mentioned in a spirit of ecu seriousness, but simply to point out omis sions which may have an important bearing upon the ease. Whenever the complications make it necessary, a coroner's jury should follow every clue that might- lend to the discovery t>f the perpetrator of a criino. Neither timo nor money should stand in the wav of the most thorough investigation, for noth ing else is likely to lead to the vindication of justice. John Hetoch, of Newport, K>\, will no longer ts* regard's 1 by his neighbors ns a prophet. According to the Cincinnati Knquirer, ho predicted twenty years ago* that he would die on Wednesday night last. On that day, at. a German Methodist church of which hi* is a member, services wore held. Many people attended, because it was un derstood that. AeUsch would bid the congn gation farewell. After the services he arose and said good-by, explaining that before morning he would lie dead. Tho eongrnga tion slu>k hands with him, every body weeping.

There doesn't appear to be any reason I why the President should continue to favor Herbert F. Beecher. Tho late Henry Ward Beecher stool by Mr. Cleveland when t.ho latter was a candidate for Presi dent and was being bitterly assailed by the Republican press, and that perhaps is tho reason why Mr. Cleveland has stood by Mr. Beeehor’s son. If Mr. Beecher's son were a worthy man and fitted to occupy an official position there would be no objection to his having a place in the service of the govern ment, but the President’s obligations to tho lato Henry Ward Beecher are not great enough to justify him in keeping in office a man who cannot keep his name free from scandals. Herbert F. Beecher was first nominated for Collector of Port Townsend, Oregon, a rather lucrative office, hut tho Senate re fuse-1 to confirm his no nination because o© a charge against him that ho had embozzV*! a small sura of money which had been in trusted to him to purchase money orders. He returned the money when he was threat ened with prosecution, but that did not sat isfy the Senate. He was afterward appoint ed a special agent of the Treasury with headquarters at Port Townsend. The Senate has nothing to do with appointments of this sort and Mr. Beecher holds the office at the present time. It gives him authority to su pervise the Collector’s office and he, there fore, has a great deal to do with the office which the Senate would not permit him to hold. Lately affidavits were published in a San Francisco paper which charged him with having been engaged in a scheme to smug gle opium into this country during the short time he filled the position of Collector of Port Townsend. These affidavits were in tho possession of a man named Blake, who intended to show them to them to the President with the view of having Beecher removed from his present position. Ho was on his way to Washington for that purpose when he was assaulted hy unknown parties while at Chicago, and so badly hurt that ho died without making any state ment.. It is barely possible that Beecher is innocent, but the evidence against him is so strong that it will lie difficult to make tho public believe that he is not guilty. There are plenty of good inon anxious for a place under the Government., and there is no reason, therefore, that Beecher should be retained in his present position. The state ments made iu tho affidavits ought to tie thoroughly investigated, and if they are sus taiaed Beecher ought to bo dismissed from the service. A man who is constantly bring ing the administration into disrepute ought not to be tolerated in any position under it, even though his father was a great nmn and rendered Mr. Cleveland a great service. Communists in San Domingo. It was stated some time ago that the Com munists, Socialists and Anarchists iti this country were considering the advisability of emigrating to San Domingo. It now ap pears that the statement wa> not without foundation, Moritz Neff, a Communist who formerly kept a saloon in Chicago, recently returned to that city from San Domingo after an ab sence of five months. The “Communists’ Den,” as Neff’s saloon was known, ceased to yield profits after the Hayninrket riot, and ho went to San Domingo in order to determine whether or not the country was suitable for a communistic colony. Ho went in the capacity of special envoy, with letters of credit to the San Domingo government from the San Domjngo Colonization Society, and had instructions to explore and study the land, climate aid natural resources of the Yrgvreal valley, where certain communis tid members of the colonization society thought it might lie well to establish their homes. Previous to Neff’s departure the colonization society had sent other com munists to San Domingo. Among them were Pr.nutz, Staub, Rueger, Lodigs and Bierbanm. Excepting the last two, those have also returned to Chicago. It is; underst-Ksl that Neff and the others have made a favorable report to the coloni zation society, and that recently at least twenty-five families have announced their intention to go to San Domingo. As the colonization society has a largo member ship, it is probable that others worth! gq if they had the means. To givq nil the oppor tunity' to go an effort will 1 e made to raiso SIO,(XX 1 , the amount needed to start the colony. A joint stock company is to be organized, the shares to be placed nt SSO each, and as tho law-abiding citizens of Chicago will doubtlos? Ite glad to rid them selves of the Communists, Socialists and Anarchists, it is possible that the shares may lie quickly taken up. Whether or not the proposed colony would prosper is a matter of little irnjior tanco to the people of this country. The main thing is to get rid of the persons who wish to establish it, ntul all others like them. It might be well, therefore, for all cities counting Communists, Socialists and Atv arclhsts as part of their population to offer pecuniary inducements to them to join the colony. The Manufacturers' lieeorrl, of Halti more, chronicles an interesting fact. It seems that money has beon raised for build ing another charcoal furnace in Gadsdiyi, Ala., and that one-third of it was subscribed by Gadsden ladies. By way of comment the lleconl says: “Is thero another furnace in the country in which women have shown such interest i' Now that tho wonem of tho South have enlisted for the industrial dove) opulent of tlieir country, there need bo no fear of any step backward. AU honor to Giulv lon’s fair contributors to tins new en terprise. May others follow their example.” It g->'s without saying that others will, as their means permit.

From the New York hh'cning S'U* • “I hare some queer customers to with.*' mused a Broadway newsdealer as he folded the afternoon papers w ith a dexterity born of long practice. •An old front who looked like a parson asked me this morning for a revised edition of the New Testament. I hapixmod to have a copy on hand, and fished it out from beneath sonic old yiapers and magazines. After spending some time in criticising the book he handed it back tome with the remark that it wasn’t just what he thought it was. To get the book off my hands I offered the tome at half price, but this reduction did not tempt him to buy. After some haggling I cut the price down to a third of the publisher’s selling price. Even then lie thought I asked too much. Thoroughly dis gusted and not caring to dicker any longer with such a cranky customer, I offered him the book at a price that would not cover the cost of the thread used iu binding it. He whined some thing about the enormous cost of books in gen eral and Testaments in particular, and ended by saying that he could not afford so much money for such a small book, and majestically strode away. “My boy Tommy, who is very irreverent, had been listening to our conversation. Tommy has a great contempt for niggardly people. He asked the man to come back, which lie did. with an expectant look on his face. ‘Kay, mister,' said Tommy, ‘I have a real cheap edition of the Testament, containing &!! tin* latest news about the dog fight and tips on the races, and, if you'd rather have it, I can give a base ball edition.’ The old fellow was furious and dashed away, muttering something about youthful depravity. This man was only one of 1,000 queer people 1 come in coutact with, but he was one of the meanest.” How Indians Poison Their A*raws, From the Omaha Republican. It was a longtime before Friday camflfTmd 1 began to think he was going to disregard mv summons, and was getting angry, when he sud denly put in an appearance. I explained to him what I wished to know, and without the slight est hesit.ition he said to the venerable arrow maker: “Tell my brother all about the poisoned ar rows.” “Well,” said the old man, “first we take a bloated yellow rattlesnake in August, when he is most poisonous, and tie him with a forked stick to a stake; then we tease him until he is in a great rage. This is done by passing a switch over bis body from his head to his tail. When he threshes the ground with his body and his eyes grow bright and sparkle like diamonds, we kill a deer, antelope or some other small ani mal, and tearing out the liver throw it to the snake while it is warm and the blood is still coursing through it. The reptile will strike it again and again, and pretty soon it will turn black. When lie tires the snake is teased again, and he is in ilured to sink his fangs into the soft flesh until all the poison has lieen extracted from him and the liver is reeking with it. He then is killed, and the liver lifted with a sharp pole, for so dangerous is it no one dares touch it. The liver is let lie. for about an hour, when it will be almost jet black and emit a sour smell. Arrows are then brought and their iron heads pushed info the liver up to the shaft. They are left sticking there for about one hour and a hall, when they are withdrawn and dried in the sun. A thin glistening yellow scum adheres to tin arrow. and if it out so much as touches raw flesh It is certain to poison it to death.” I asked if Indians still used poisoned arrows. “No,” he replied, “no man, Indian, oft white man, for years past has been sftflt witli *th£Se arrows, and they an* no longer made.” The Old Tramp Printer.

What topics rise for discussion in letters, science or ait That the genuine old tramp printer cannot grap ple and play his part It is true you will sometimes see him when the hue that adorns his nose Outrivals* the crimson* flushes that the peony flaunts at the rose; It is true thut much grime he gathers in the courye of eacji trio he takes. Inasmuch- hs he Tioarus all* freight trains be tween the Gulf arid the Lakes. Yet his knowledge grows more abundant than many much-titled men Who travel as scholarly tourists and are classed with the upper ten; Ynd few are the contributions these scholarly ones have penned That the seediest, shabbiest tramper could not readily cut and mend. He has little in life to bind him to one place more than the rest, And his hopes in the past lie buried with the ones that h* loved the best; Ho has little to hope from Fortune and has lit tle to fear from Fate. And little his dreams are troubled over the pub lic's love or hate. So a rhyme to the old tramp printers—to the hopes they have cherished and went To the loves and the old home voices tnat still in their hearts are kept: A rhyme to the old trump printers whose gar ments are shiny and thin, And who take a bunk in the basement when the pressman lets them iu.

In another very important wtiv tho late Mrs. Hamilton Fish quietly sor\*<J the country, says a w riter in the Warn in'* Journal . The civil war had caused tho capital to lie crowded with irro* sponsible persons of both who constantly strove to forco thems*dvu.s Into diKthignish**d circles. Washington so* lety was led, during the ten vears following 18G7. by three women of re markable ability and discrimination Mrs. Fish. Min. and Mrs. Get: Morey. Their influence and judgment in social matters were such that t he\ were called the “queens of society.” Many or the men above referred to occupied i>’slti.'ns *>f such fmwerthat members of a uisfranchi :ed sex could not afford to slight them; still, while treated with out ward cour tosy, they were imwlo tf feel that tlu* r character was known. But among their own sex tiles** la*lies wore supreme; and the feminine o*lventtires** with w hom Washingtot) teemed, were gonUy, but efToctivelv, reiell.d from the circles they sought to corrupt. F>re most in this work or nurifkntion was Sirs. Fish who set her foe* resolutely against the flood o l such persons which p*>ured Into tho <*apitAl every winter. If they called at her afternoon receptions, she greeted them with formal civility, but when -h* issuod her canls of inrlra tion, to th<lr surprise, nnd sometimes to their imlignation. they found themselves omitted.
