The Republicans of Ohio feel Mnidoit of
their majority and -are perhnp.. a nit?e too
eerene; they may, however, lie pardoned for
this laxity, since it is more than counterbal?
anced by the depression of the Democrats.
The Turkish terms of peace with Servia are
exceedingly severe. Their acceptauce would
destroy Servian freedom, and reduce Prince
Ui-iA to complete vasaalage. The Porto bus
evidently luid down the most humiliating con?
ditions it could reasonably devise, oajtoellag
that the Oi .?at Powers will stipulate for millier
terms. It in dangerous for the. Sultan Bud hi?
Ministers to make such demanda. Every day
peace ib delayed increases the probability of
Russian intervention.
The. West India hurricane, in follawing the
general conree. Paralad east of the Windward
Islands, it ?..Tick Aiiti*ric? on Tuesday, passed
over Porto Kico on Wi-iltti s?l;?y, nnd Yiaiied
Jan? lira the next day. It was felt at Santiago,
in Cubit, on Thursday. Some ingot is ap
piifhci:?-..d at Havana. An area of barometric,
! distil: ban ce to the east of Florida is noticed in
tht (veiling report of oui (.overo, icnt M_~~M_I
Service. While thin may be a consequence of
the hurricane there is as * et no ?neat proba?
bility that tlie stoin? it.?.': will be Beriou.-?ly
felt on our shores.
The interesting paper by Mr. G?*orge
W.ilker on the silver que-tioi?, read at the
mooting of the Social Science Association, is
presented in full in otliei foliMViiis. Its chief
result is to bring out more clearly than ever
before the fact that the liiirhe-?t. f'maiicial au?
thorities are themselves dioagiood on the aub
jeet of the single or double standard, and that
a nation so peculiarly ritnitod as the united
S;ule. cannot act more .vis ly than in adopt?
ing a waiting policy with referan? to it. In
MMM respects the pupev will, therefore, bring
mprln to many of our amatear financial
writers, since they have i.itbci* eoMplaceatly
assumed that tho whole weight of scientific
authority was on the side of the single gold
standard.
Tho letters from our correspondents in I_on
dou and Constantinople will be found of
special interest at the pr?sent crisis of th(
Eastern Question. They complement each
other, one setting forth th?? chronic, tergiversa?
tion of the Turkish Government, in it? address
to the Servians, and the other describing the
indignant excitement of the English people,
on learning o* the atrocities which their Gov?
ernment certj-inly donbted, and seemed dis?
posed to ignore. It is very evident, liotli from
tlie statements of our correspondents and from
the telegrams received yesterday, that the
policy rejected three months agi; must be
accepted in all haste and applied, to-day, as
the only preventivo of more dangerous lOin
plications. While Servia holds her last line
of defense, and Turkey pauses, and England
invites concert of intervention from the ethei
Powers, there is still a chanco that the peace
of Europe will be preserved.
The discussion betv ?<n the advocates am!
the opponents of the theory of evolution is
likely to receive a fnsii impetus from Prol.
Huxley's lectures during the coming aytjok.
I hete are two aspect* of this disput?'-the MM
purely scientific, the other touching upon re?
ligious beliefs. Prof. Huxley is likely to dea!
ptrcipally with the ______ of these, and fwBj
perhaps leave the second out of sight. To the
?Ml of educated men and women the chief
obj(ctioi) to the evoluiion theory is a suppt?.?i
tion that it Is opposed to the Hible record of
creation. If this n.?t><?n were out of tin- wav, the
spread of ovoluiiona.y dottrines would l?e
limited only by ihe ipiestioii of their truth.
'I he... are not a few thinkers who, having
studied the pages of Genesis side bv side with
thi-se of modern science, find less discordance
In 'tween the two than is popularly imagined.
Of this number is 1 .of. Charles li. Waning,
whose communication we print to-day. lb
find* that the story of evolution, as now?
accepted by the most advanced of its iul
l.e.rc:-!., w_s told OBUBpt utively and correct I.
by ?loses. The coincidences which he point.,
out ate certainly remarkable.
DKFEiTED BY ITS OirN RECEDERA.
The Democratic party of the country has
ir.ttstiafed nothing so successfully during tin
past twelve inontjp? at- its capacity for hluii
deri tg and a perverse instinct for flittering
:iw ? fleet opportunities. For twenfv years
it ha? dette, nothing whatever to entitle it to
public coiifideiice. Two or thiee times it has
been tratad with a taste of power in some of
the Stal.... not beenttae of nnytli'ng it hail
done, but simply because its opponents had
gone wron-, and been careless aiu! .leadstrong
under btid l-udership, and hud received from
tm people deterred rebuke, And y?-t, so soon
as the Democrat-, gained the hu.t succe**,
they turiied to and apea, it ali by mn !i Ix-ha
vior as drove away the stn ngth and support
which brought them victory. They have neve
profited by an$' wisdom of their own, but] only
by the fouie?; of their opponents. The lb-pub?
licans have always hrttiight them into pewe.
wherever they have gained it, and liny tixm
selves have as invariably turned theiio? Ives
out. So constant has bin this process that il
? _?_!_ assumes the character of 1 'tovid nlial
interposition. Wheiievei the lb-publican party
becuna reckless and luadsiiong thit?uj.h its
uniiitenttpted possession of pOWO__ the jtcoplc
have brought the leaders to their senses
by the chastisement of defeat, and it
must 1m* said that no party was ?ver
so quick to learn the lesson and so
ready to apprehend the meaning of defeat as
the lb publican, while none was ever so il!
calculated as the Democratic tolae.u prosperity
and keep upon an even l.u I before favoring
gales. Two yeai*s ago, when the 1? .tdciship of
such men as l.utlci and th? ir Influence in the
jia-t v and with the Administration had brought
disaster t<? the l.epiil.lic.ni party, and intro?
duced the Pernoct?is to what se'-iimd to be
only a foiitaste of laiyrer ami more extended
political successes, the whole current of public
opinion seemed to be iuiii.ii g in favor at the
Democracy. They ha?i one bran? h of CongfMC.
and had gained huge... in flu Senate, and in all
Ihe States seemed on the rising tide. One
M0~_0_~*~~f Congress has changed id! that. Had
tin- Preside nlial election be? n held bef?te I'u
Democrats of the prest t,?l CottftieM began t->

would no doubt have carried it. Hut the

There mu cerUiu little ways of managing
party business with which Democrats of" tho
old school used to be perfectly familiar.
Whether fi 'in want of aperiente, or for some
other rea? n, the present Democratic mnnage..
are not so precise and clever as Ihey might
be. So many of them as an) in Massachusetts
should at least I__lfl.ea.ain1 that the Adams
family expects a good deal of civility of I
kind just bordering on v?n?ration. We shall
probably have the present mist-ike repaired
by some Boat of bugger- m linger ; but the orig?
inal blunder of the convention will remain of

DELA IVARE AND HFDSON.
The condition of the other leading coal
companies having lieen explained, the Dela?
ware and Hudson should not la? neglected. It
Bead not bo said, to those who have observed
the decline in this stock, that it is centrally
supposed to be not stronger than the others,
New-Jersey Central exceptcd, but the informa?
tion given by the company is so meager and
so scattered that general suspicion, rather
than definite knowledge of weakness,
has caused the decline. Becoming conscious
that something must be done to sectue confi?
dence, the directors have prepared "a state
" ment,'1 which, witty palpable consciousness
that it will not bear public examination, ihey
propose, it is said, to communicate to stock?
holders only. Friends of the company who
probably do not understand IU weakness, how?
ever, caused an abstract to be published yes?
terday, which probably embraces the essential
IKiints of the official statenieiit. Sensible
stockholders, after scrut?nixing it, will certainly
conclude that the directora were wise in try?
ing to keep it from public, inspection.
This Company, during the year ending Dec.
31, 187-), made sales of coal amounting
to $12.0.1 l,.i;b., on which tlie profit I were $M,
210,270. The decline in the price of coal has
l>een from _?.*"? 41, the average combination
price for 187?-, to 1.2 91 per ton, the average
realized at the auction sale last month. This
is al-otit 4K per cent. A loss of 413 per cent
on 919,084,936, the amount of sales hist year,
would lie a loss of $5,530,000, and would not
only extinguish the profits claimed last year,
but leave the company in debt over $2,300,
000.
Tho Canal Company, however, hafi certaiu
other expenses and large obligations, arising
fioiii its leasts. The canal road is ?-mployed
almost exclusively in the coal service of the
company, and noe<l not he separately con?
sidered further than to observo that it is not
a source of revenue but of constant exp?-its?*,
wiuii intern. <>n it? cost fc? con. ?den d, fer the
cost is repotted M f. 4,R7?>,77H ; the interest on
this must M over !. 300.0.K?, and the earnings
over o|?ernting expenses last year were 9280,231.

in heavy burdens, interest nt 7 per eent bcinir

the otlit r eaiiiiii^H of the company. This bur?

been expended in construit ?on. Also, new

it is Mpetted that over $1,000,000 has been
expended tlii? year, and it is only within this
inontli th it tin' road has been oomph-ted to
Ibnise'r. I? int. end the track Opened to trains.
The gross . uni ii.-s of the road last year were
only $92,4H5, and the excess over operating
espenOM only $19,708. What earnings may
b?- leali/ed t'ii year lo offset tWfl ?navy outlay
?loes not appear, but the diiectois Biped
"from the net earnim,.. of this line about half
"of the int?-i- t ..a e bonds, or $1911,000."
N? v.- roads ?lo not generally 1m..in to pay ex
pens' s as soon as they are openeil, and
large expenses will yet l?e rciptircd in
tin idling and equipping this road. If
the entire outlay this year should
not exceed the $1,000,000 reported as
having ben exiiended alrea?ly, Vsiilcs inter
e?t on tin ?lebt, the balance on the wrong ??de
of the tie? mint for thus year would be $1,120,
000, even if the sonn what inflated ?xiieeta
tious of the directors as to its cainin .s should
be realized. Hesitics, the directors claim that
the entire f 1.000,000 of stock is held by the
Delaware ami Hedson, and that the roui has
cost $8,000,000. Somebody evidently has put
into it, in that ease, about $4,000,000 more,
than the honds have yielded, and as it is not
expected to pay more than half tin? intenst on
the bonds, tho rest of the investment is a
dead losa.
The directora do not give us any light in
regard le another road in Vermont, ihe con?
struction of which it is rejmrted thut the com?
pany has nndei taken. They admit, however,
a loss on the leaned roads " aggregating ebon.

lie-ides thts? obligations tlia Canal Couipanj
bM an entatnnding debt of $115,116,000, ac?
cording to its last statement, and il is sttp
i.1 to have iucroiued its ohlig'.tions ?u the
erection of the expensive building here. Al?
though tli? report only show.-, pa?Meat of
$008,154 V.i m nitcr__t last year, the _nt_flt_d
on the debt ... it stood at the cud of last year was
$1,058,120, and this, with interest and rentals
of $850,000 or more for li___*.J loads, makes
.ftl.008,120 which the company must pay each
year to escape bankruptcy before the stock?
holders can ?ret anything.
The actual earning* on the coal business last
year, as above stated? ?.voie $3,210,270, und
canal t?>ll.-i and miscellaneous profits im i
this to a$3,4&2,200. Deducting from this the
i? nUils nnd interest as above, it npp'-ara that
the real net profita, with n?ea of cortl ???ptnl
to those of last year, ami at the prices of last
year, aro only 91,6-?4.0S0. The coal tonnage
last year was 2,402,t>4_, so that the actual
piolita were alioiit 00 cents por ton, and
a fall of 65 cents would compel tho
cotiipany to borrow money to pay in
temat on money ?lreadv IxuTOwed. As
the actual ?Inline is about $2 ?r>0 per ton,
it Menu probable that the company will have
to borrow a large amount. In brief, with ac?
tual net pr??tit? of $1,544,080. on the basis of
last year's n?ile?, the company has to face a
loss of iJ5.l?,53r),000 in the price o1* coal. Per
hapi a new issue of $4,000,000 in bonds
might bridge over the year?provided the
bontls would sell. But it is als?? possible that
they might meet with little more iavor than
those for #5,000,000 now offered by New
Jersey Central. ?%
THE SEPTEMPER SCHOOL OPENING.
Nearly n whole page of our advertising space,
as will be m ? -n, is daily occupied by announce?
ment.!? of the opening this month of the Fall
term of colb'ges and schools of every kind
and grade, medical, military, legal, theologi?
cal, commeuial, classi-cal, scientific, or primary.
The parent has but to elmose. apparently, in
this finbaiTii.ssmcnt of iiclies, a guide for his
boy or girl. If he thinks friction with other
human beings is i art of the training needed by
th? child, reared iu the isolation of home, here
are plenty of mi in moth establishments where
he wiil be left to fight aud push his way to
meeOM quite as much as m tlie bigger world
outsiile. Or, if he hold to the theory of
individual training, here are numberless
ch -rgymen or r?*tire?l scholars willing to
give his boy or girl the benefits of a "re
" fined and Christian home," or experienced
graduate? of European schools, ami ladies of
cull tu e who crowd forwurd anxious to come
to his house aud give to the pupil the fruits of
their wisdom ?nul experience. The oulinary
parent is satisfied that he cannot easily make
a mistake, ami contents himself with slight in?
vestigation. His boy or girl is sent to an es?
tablishment which he hears is a " good school,"
or to a bather who has " brought .Jom.s's boy
"on well," and that is the end of it. If ihe
boy brings home bad report?, ho concludes at
once either tiiat the child is a dunce or incor?
rigibly lazy, or that the schmd is a bail one.
It does not occur to him that the boy and the
M-hoo! system may ea?-h have merit and yet be
unsuited to each other.
In short, the first thing we n??ed in this coun?
try to insure a lutter etluration to our ?liil
?lren is that parents th? msclvcs be sufficiently
.?Inc.?ted to OhaaM the right training for their
children. The bcliool in which Jon?*s's boy,
tough, cheeky, aggressive, prov?'?l his 8U
I?t*rioiity in the rough-and-tumble scramble
for knowledge may be the one where a
languid, timid, apathetic l?oy would be pu.*?h?-<l
to the wall, ami left there f??r life, conviii?*?-?l
<?f his hopeless mediocrity. It should, too, have
bn'ii the woik of parents who visit?*?l tlie
Imposition ?luring the Stiintner to look into
this matter of e?lucation as it is set forth there,
to contrast the ?lift?rent sysf??ms ot t*-achiiiir
oi our own and other coiintrie?, and to find out
why und how the American is ?lefnient.
Whoa the fathers ami kXttmmtg know what
liny want in the education of tlu-ir
children, and ran demand it intelligently, there
is more iliaii??' that it will be supplied. Tho
defect in our American schools, taken en imtn*e,
is, as must Im? appaient from a comparison
with others, that the t-cholar is nimle to l??.iru
hv iiitmiH fair or foul, but he is not made in
love with 1? arning. He is crammed with facts,
as though his brain were an empty receptacle,
which the teacher's duty is to till, not a sleep?
ing agent which h?- is to ?piu-ken into life. All
the marvelous display of pictures, sculpture,
machinery, and apparatus of every kind which
in?- us?*d in the object t?*aching of Kuro
peaii and even Asiatic schools are intended
sob-ly to rouse the ?:hihl's latent powers
of observation nml comparison, to give life
end reality to the bare skeletons ??f fact*.
Through the whole ?'ourse of instiuc ion in
countries where eiliicatioti is made a science,
of which we have but 1? ain?d the primary
rub's, the same object is pursued. When the
lmys in a (?i-tin.in gyiiiiia.-?ittin (a free public
school, be it reiiiemb? ret!) begin to read a
Qveeh piny, a weeh of pi-eparatoiy instruction
is given, in which the history, construction.
?S?c, of th?' theater in Grc?-ce, its in -bus and
iiiulienci's, are slniwn to the hoy* by pictures
ami hhmIcIs an?l oral explanations. When the
young felhiw liegitis to thumii over his old
ti.iLfeily lu* knows the mou ami women of its
day, their habit* ami plti-co in the world?a
different knowledge from that of Greek gnofe*
mar or even poetry, however well beaten into
his head.
Tho great mass of teachers among ns are not
likely to make their pupils in love with learn?
ing, simply bpeaUM they ?tie not in love with
it themselves. T'lit-y adopt teaching too often
us a last r?sonne or i? stepping stone to some?
thing lietter. Highe* pay, which will coinniand
a hi'.hcr ?lass of educator*, may partially : ?i vi?
to set the matter right. Wlnttever else we
??? oiioinize in this Whiter let it not b?> iu the
training of the lioys and girls. Find a tcnilmr
who puts his heart as will ?is brain into his
work ami pav him well, and other men will
be lad to follow his evnmple.
