A compakatively new process 0/
steel making—the Clapp G^ffl'.hs—
whioh is being Introduced in Penn
sylvania, was tbcsul j ct of an inter*
eating paper recently’ read at a meet<*
ingof mining engineers a! P,,teburg.
O.iver B’othert & Phillips were the
first to take it up in this country,and
they represent that it is not only
more economical than the Bessemer
process, but that it produces steel of u
superior quality fn in stock that could
not be used for B ssemer stei 1. This,
after ail, is the mat tr of prime ini-
portance. Mr Oliver staled that sev>
erity per cent of the L ke Superior
and Iron Mi untain ores are adapta
ble for steel making l y this process,
though useless for the Bessemer. Oli
ver Brothers & Phillips a r e making
three grade* of steel by this method,
and in the lowest grades use pig
metal containing as much as .03 per
cent of phosphorous. The new steel
Is said to be partlou'arly well adapted
for nail plates.
The Pr« ld»r> Appels men*.
The democratic press very geuer»
ally Beems to condemn the a t of
President Cleveland in appo ntiug J
C Matthews to be recorder of deeds,
at W ishicgton Matthews is a negro
of Albany, New Y rk, and succeeds
Fred Dcugla.s, who is also a negro.
We must confess that there are oir»
cumstacccs conuec-ed with this ap-.
pointment that are not in full accord
with our wry of thinking, but we
are not disposed to critic! e '.he presi
dent harshly. We feel more disposed
to uphold him in the great work of
reform he has undertaken, and if
negroes are to bt appointed we tee no
reriBon why they should not receive
appointments to . fll.-e in the north
ern states and districts. The south
ern dtmoernts hove ail along protest
ed against the manner in which re.
publican presidents have given
ecu hern appointments to : e^roes
and refused to make such nomina
tions in the north. Iu commenting
on this the Washington Oti'ie a,::
“By every consideration of party
Justice, as well as local expediency,
the District democrats were entitled
to the position. There is not a re-
publioan in the city of Washington
who would not have acclaimed as fair
and right the appointment of ary
one of the several gentlemen aspirli g
to the honor. There la not a repub
lican In the United States senate
who would have lifted h a fl tger
agains liis coi-firniation. Tile ap
pointment would have been in no
sense a violation of civil esrvioe re-
form principles."
It occurs to us t- at it is rather a
weak iv'gutnent to suggret what re
publicans like or dislike under such
ciicumstan es. Tiny have long einct
demonstrated that when it comes :o
an appdnlmeut oti e* than in the
south they prefer any kind of a white
man, democrat or republican, to a
negro. But a Washington special
telle ue that “the president thinks
that colored democrats deserve some
reoognltion, and he felt that since
the office in question had al
ways been ocoupled by a re
publican colored man it would be
just as well to have a colored democrat
succeed him. The party professes a
desire to be fair toward the oolored
man and this sieoied to be a good
time to redeem the implied pledge
U, tier the circumstaDcaa Matthews
was tbe man. He is comp 'etit and
an accomplished lawyer, and he has
been a faithful and industrious dem
ocrat for in uy yeais The chances
are that all the existing irritation
will disappear, and that In the end
Matthews will give satisfaction on all
hands.”
Whether the appointment meets
the approval of the democratltio
masses or not, we submit that some
of the harsh criticisms of the demos
cratic press, and particularly of the
south, are unwarranted, unjust and
not such as to aid the suecess of the
democratic admlnle'ration,
Tub Kiiaftlloii*! Hill.
Af»our readers liave already te n Id*
formed the B'air educational bill has
passed the senate and now goee to the
house. Ii was thought that tbe po
litical discussion causi d by this bill
would eo weaken it aa to unable it to
be passed by the tenate. If ike num
erous amendments with which then*
was a disposition to load it had been
adopted, it would have insured tbe
defeat. One of the moet obje ctiona
ble of these amendments w s that by
Senator Allison, which provided for
the distribution of the luud between
Ihe races on tbe basis of illi'eraoy.
This amendment wi-s very properly
rej cled and the bill passed by a vote
of 36 to 11, or more than three to one.
Toe political vote on the bill ia In-
terislit g. Two-thiids of tbe demo*
cratic senators voted fur the bill, the
vote being six'.ten for and eight
against it. There were four souths
e n democrats who voted against the
bill. There wete twenty republicans
for and three against it.
80 many amendments werecff.red,
some of whloh were edopted and
others rijeeted, tla' it iad.fit ult for
the casual reader to keep pace with
it. The bill, as it pass d tbe sens e.
provides that for eight years after
its passage there Bhall be annuully
appropriated from the treasury the
following sums In aid of common
school education in the states and
territories and the District of Colurn
Ida and Alaska : Firat year, $7,000,-
C00; second year, $i0 000,000; third
year, $15,000,000; fourth year, $13,
000,000; fifth year, $11,000,000; .ixtb
y ear, $9 000.000; evfDth year, $7 000,*
0C0; eighth year, $5 000 000; making
$77,000,000, besides which there is a
special appropriation of $2 000,000 to
aid in the erection ofacbooi bouses in
sparsely settled districts, making the
total fund $79,000 000
The mauner in which the money
is divided between thB several states
and territories ia “in that proportion
which the whole number of pereouB
in each who being of the age of 10
years and over oaunot write, bears to
the whole number of Bucb persons in
the United States,” according to the
census of 1880, until the oeuana
figures of 1890 shall be obtained, and
(hen according to the latter figure,
lu etaus having separate schools for
white and colored children, the
money shall he paid cut in support of
such white and colored sohjols, re
spectively, in the proportion tla
white and colored children between
10 and 21 yearBold in such state bear
to each other by the census.
One of the requirements of the
bill ia that no etate is !o receive the
bent fl of the act until its governor
shall file with the secretary of tbe in
terior a statement giving full statis
tics of the school system, attendance
of white and colored children, tbe
amount of money expended, etc, the
number of schools in operation, the
number and compensation oi the
teachers, etc. N > state or territory
shall reoeive in any year from this
fund mure money thau it has paid
out the pievious year from its own
revenues f >r common schools. If any
s ate or territory declli ei to take its
shureof the national fund tuch share
ie to be dietribu’ed among the states
accepting the bent fit of the fund.
It will thna be seen that many of
the otjeotlonal features of the bill,
which caused so heated disouaslon in
the e.mate, have been removed, and
tbiB accounts for the surprisingly
la*g<* vote It received. It will be
thoroughly discussed in the houee,
and the indications are not very plain,
but it is believed that it will pass.
Evoaomlei ■■ggnUd,
Bridetreet* eaya that ‘‘newspapers
of the south are full of gloomy predic
tions regarding the outcome of cotton
raising if the present low prices are
not to improve ” Its report received
from a great many places last wtek
go far to sustain this view, and that
) urual makes this in the way of a
prediction: “One thing at least is
cer'ain, methods more comomioal
in the growing and handling of cot
ton in the south must be introduced
Everywhere in all linos of production
tUe greatest economies are
belDg introduced. The ootton pro
ducer of the south can but follow tbe
example. It ie an easy matter, as
customary with southern papers, to
advise the planter to foreake the ruin*
ous credit system. R.form in this
direction will be very gradual Indeed
L wer interest rateB will gradually
come about over tbe greater part of
the south as capital from the money
osnters finds its way thither. They
must be the chief L fiueuce in lessen
lug the drain for unary. It is plain
that the d (Terence between the rate
of interest, say at N.;w Y rk and at
any point in the older agricultural
regions of t he country, ie greater than
is warranted, having regard to the
improved means of communication.”
The suggestion of economy is in
the line pf argument used by the
Enquiher Sun several .weeks ago.
Too much is expected of the co'ton
crop to start with. The labor of one
man is tx,ec‘.td to support half a
d zen non-producers, and in some
oases e ran more. The cotton ie gath
ered and the product cannot be sold
for enough to pay expenses—not ex
penses for the making of it, but ex
penses Incurred for mauy things
with which tbe cotton has no con
nection
TuStsilei Is Wivi rnmtst.
11 these days, wbeu the people’s
money goes for appropriations In a
thousand different ways, tbe follow
ing from tlie Iudlanapnlls News is
not very ill-timed:
“And our popular government ie
shout as much, or g-tting to be, of a
parental government as auy mon
archy of Europe. We begin by giv
ing their servants their own way,
ar,d end by depending on them for
all we do or get. We want to m-.ke
our own clothes and we ask the gov
ernment to help us with a tar fl on
o her people’s -goods. We want to
build railroads and we ask tbe gov
ernment fir the means to do it
We want safe and cheap telegraphic
communication all over the country
and we ask the government to make
it or buy it for ns What is the distance
between euch measures as thin and
tbe policy of Gjrmnny that buys up
all the railroads, or of Fiaoce that
gives employment on public works to
idle workmen. A F e :uhmau never
dreams that a bad raod in bis neigh
borhood, or an unsafe bridge, is to be
repaired by himself. He looks
to the government for it. Ho
cool.l do all that is needed in two
hours, but he waits two months for
the government. O r national gov
ernment has not got that far -dong
in its parental rela'-ion yet, but it is
going that way. And it has got
pretty well ahead, too, when it is
talking of giving land at. d money to
poor Immigrants to enable them to
make a better s art in life than they
can hope to make by their own ef
forts, and thinks it by no means un
likely that it will have to help sup
port a half million or more of citi-
z ns who aie well able to support
themselves, and don’t pretend that
they need help. F ;r centralization
the despotism ol Bus. ia ie not much
stronger than the democracy of
America. I dots not yet reach out
to eo many objects of care or admin
istration, but it is steadily increasing
them. Tbe people of O do, who are
petitioning congress to abolish the
presidency and replaoe it with an
'xecutive committee, base their ar
gument on the enormous pi wer of
the office. They say it is hardly less
masterful, or may be made eo, than
any monarchy, and foolish as tbe
movement is, it ie re illy a sort of re
action against the tendency of the
times to make the government mas
ter and 1 w ’erinstead of servant.”
