It is not every community that will sub
mit to the evangelist for roicnue only. The
Reverend Mangall, who visited Vinita, I.
T., and caino in violent contact with law,
decenoy and public opinion, thought por-
haps that he waa licensed to do these things
in an isolated, semi-harbarous community.
The result, however, shows that the rev
erend tramp was mistaken. 1'ho commit

Hays the Philadelphia Record: “If the
Blair educational bill is allowed to pass the
Uonse, the responsible Democratic majority
in that body may as well go out of hnsiness
aa Democrats. It would ho a dangerous
triumph of the doctrine on which the Demo
cratic party was founded to repel, that the
Federal government may interfere in mat
ters not di finitely w ithin the powers granted
-to Congress iu the Constitution. No power
exercised by the states themselves rests
upon a slenderer basis of right thsn the in
terposition between the parent and child
which grows out of the public school sys
tems. There is not a shred of authority in
tho Federal government to appropriate
money for Bute schools.”
It la said that Mr. W. W. Corcoran, of
Washington city, who bos done more,
probably, as on individual contributor to
Democratic campaign toads, who has sns-
tained in Wosbingtor at great loss a party
paper, who has aided Democratic Senators
iu their elections, and who is to-day the
most conspicuous philanthropist in this
countiy, has made hut one
quest of the administration, namely,
the appointment of a deserving girl
to a clerkship, and has been refused that.
And yet, an obscure negro, representing no
party, no section, nor even bis own race, is
hunted np and made Recorder of Deeds in
Washington City, at a salary of about
$10,000. Just now Mr Corcoran finds the
Recorder's office, when business calls him
there, a moat excellent point from which to
study the beauties of civil service reform.
In the decision of the Jackson care, our
Supreme Court says: "To escape by tech-
oicality does not esUblisk innocence, at
-least according to the intelligent and just
■estimate of the world, and iloc-s not restore

fellowmen." These be brave words, but
prominent among the nauiCH on tho peti
tions of those who sock rehabiUtiou by
office and have escaped by the close shave of
t« .nnicalities, we are told may be found
those of the judgea of the Supreme Court.

The power heretofore used to make a
young man and his girl move towards
drag stores is to be applied to other pur
poses. A new sods motor, which performs
•11 the functions of an ordinary locomotive,
is in operation on BUte street, Chicago. It
does not require any fire, is noiseless, does
not emit any offensive smells, has no ex
haust stack or steam whistle to frighten
horses, anil makes lolly as good time ts the
old-fashioned steam dummy. It takes only
thirteen m: notes to charge it, and it will
ran continuously for aix hours after it is
loaded. The Boston and Albany Railroad
Company is also building a forty-ton aoda
fountain to haul its trains through Boston
a similar machine is in succession use upon

•• The PtMleral Educational Sclitme.”
The New York Journal of Commerce lias
taken bold of tho Blair Educational Bill,
and with its accustomed vigor proceeds to
dissect, analyze and bury it. The hill, as
now amended, it will be remembered, takes
from the Treasury $711,000,000 for general
educational purposes. All but two millions
of this vast sum is designed for apportion
ment among the States, according to the
illitomey of each, us shown by the last cen
sus. The two millions are to go for school
houses in thinly populated aud impover
ished sections.
The Journal commends Logan’s hold and
frank avowal that the sum needed would
really amount to $250,000,000, and might
reAch $500,000,000. It says in opposition to
this job: “The Federal constitution contains
no word of warrant for the embarkment of
the Federal government in the business of
popular education. Tho supporters of the
scheme profess to find authority for it in a
violent construction of paragraph 1, section
8, nrtice 1, which declares that Congress
shall have power, among other things, to
'provide for the common defense and
gencrul welfare of the United States.’ Under
the same laxity of interpretation Congress
might claim tho power to provide baby jam
pers, indin-ruhher balloons, tops, kites and
rocking-horses for all the children, and
tilling-schools and Russian bulb* for all tho
adults in the country. Nothing is moracon
ducive to the ‘general welfare’ than health
and happiness to which the gifts we have
mentioned would, in tbto opinion of many
people, directly minister. Congress might
just as well assert tho right to es
tablish newspapers in every town or vil
lage where one was not already published,
or in any place where the tone of the press
was not to the liking of that body.
With the same propriety Congress could
engage in the book business and print and
give away yearly millions of volumes relat
ing to theology, science, politics and every
other subject of human interest. Congress
already does something of this kind in a
smaller way, by printing some hundreds of
thousands of agricultural reports for distri
bution to—tho paper mills — via the con
stituents of houorable members. For all
these absurd enterprises and others still
more fantastic the sanction of the 'geueral
welfare’ clause may bo invoked ns fairly as
for tne Blair bill. Iu the best shape possi
ble, it should be condemned as a most dan
gerous innovation.”
The Journal dwells upon the bad policy
of the bill, and declares that “it would tend
to lessen that independence or self-help
which is so successful in all things, aud
w ould finally bring the schools under tho fu-
tnl control of politicians.” It shows that in
Massachusetts the gift of $1,152,000 would
not put one more hoy or girl into her
schools, and that this State stand* as a
fair example of many others that do not
need Federol aid,
The object of the bill is thus described:
“From what wc know c! the designs of
those who are incessantly seeking to enlarge
the sphere of Federal authority and make a
stroug central government still stronger,
we cannot be left in donbt about tho real
purpore of the hill, Tho preliminary ob
ject is to accustom tho people to receive
Fedornl money for the support of common
schools, until finally they will supinely
consent to see the whole educational appa
ratus transferred to Washington. Tho full
pnrnnsn of the scheme would not be real
ized until the Federal power had the ap
pointment of every school teacher, tho
selection and supply of every school book,
the building and furnishing of every school-
bonse in the land. In comparison with the
jobs involved in this vast undertaking river
and harbor bills sink into insignificance.”
This point is emphasized again:
“Let ns not forget, ns we have said, the
real object of this bill is to extend tho area
of Federal domination over the affairs of the
states, and to enablo tho centralized author
ity to wield a greater power than was ever
dreamed of in the constitution. Tho sup
porters of the bill seek to recommend it to
all friends of the freeduian by the assurance
that it is intended, primarily, to edu
cate that class into a proper knowledge
ot their duties as citizens. But if this plea
is sincere, why is not the bill confined to
the aid of that class alone? Or why is the
operation of the measure not limited to
those States where illiteracy, according to
the census returns, exists to an extent
among whites as well as blacks, which
might be pleaded with more apparent
force as an excuse for the interference of
the Federal power? There is but one an
swer to these questions. The Blair bill
only masks the design to tighten the reins
in the hands of a still stronger government
at Washington.”
This is the opinion of a man whose judg
ment upon national and economic ques
tions has brought his paper to be accepted
as authority in the metropolis and other
moneyed centres. If he is correct in hia
view of this bill, the evil effect be proph
esies will fall heaviest upon the South, the
section that is to receive the largest share
in the distribution of the money.
If public schools are to gradually drift
into control of the government, what fright
ful power* will he wielded here in Georgia
by the men who* affiliate with the ignorant
negro population and represent them in
Washington? Upon this national school
system backed by $79,000,000 at tne outset
and by a precedent that, according to
friend of the scheme will probably draw
$500,000,000 from the treasury, will be
founded a ring and clique in every South
era state that will put on top
again the worst elements of society
and establish in power political knaves that
have been put underfoot. The Freedman’
Bureau, the Internal Revenue, even the
official patronage were but as pigmies com

It was suggested a few days j-ince that a
conference between leading Democrat* and performer at penocle.
the President might satisfactorily adjust
the differences between them. A fruitless
attempt has been made in this direction.
Mr. Cleveland invited Senator Eustis to a
talk. The Senator responded, and the dis
cussion is said to have been free, full, good-
tempered, and, as stated above, fruitless.
The New York Sun considers that the
declaration of Mr. Cleveland in his late
message, to the effect that nothing could
turn him from his course, is unfortunate
for him. And proceeds to say:
“Mr. Cleveland was elected in view of
the fact that the Republicans, during six
successive terms of tho Presidency, hail
earned the proscription of their opponents
to an excess never before known in our po
litical history. No one desired that he
should imitate this proscription, or assume
toward the Republicans such an attitude as
they have occupied toward tho Democracy.
The people only demnnded that the govern
ment should be purified throughout; and to
do that effectively it was imperatively nec
essary that the incompetent, faithless and
dishonest should be turned out, and that
tho vast partisan preponderance should be
transferred to the side of tho winning
party. Reform cannot bo achieved with
agents who are opposed to the desired ob
ject.
“The President does not take this view.
Ho believes that the work can bo accom
plished by retaining Republicans in their
places, and thus virtually declaring that a
broad establishment of his own party in
departments of the government is a ques
tion of small importance to him. This
theory has necessarily provoked the ‘dis
content of party friends’ referred to in the
message, and it has led to much alienation,
which can no longer be concealed.
“A hope was cherished that this ill feel
ing might be removed by a frank and manly
interchange of opinions between Mr. Cleve
land and eminent Democrats with no selfish
aspirations to gratify. The President's
message nmy bo said to have closed this
door at the very time when it should have
been kept wide open. He lias large power
and a reserve of vast patronage. Ry adher
ing to bis present position he may imperil
the next House of Representatives and the
Presidency. Rut he cuunot change the
opinion nor weaken the purpose of the
Democracy; and any attempt to build up a
personal, or a so-called people’s party, will
merely make a victim of whosoever under
takes to try the experiment.

The Japanese are known as people who
have no prejudices, not even such as other
people imbibe from either education or as
sociation or both. Many Japanese youths
are educated in tho colleges of this country.
They are all taught free trade in their
political economy lessons. A correspon
dent of the Philadelphia Press has reccutly
interviewed an attache of the Japanese
embassy at Washington, with this result:
I found Mr. Akabano a very intelligent
young man, who had been educated in this
country and afterwards appointed secretary
ot legation at 8t. Petersburg and subsc
queutly to Rerlin. Ho told me that his
countrymen studied the various systems of
political economy and were greatly inter
ested in the most advanced European
thought on this subject For his own part,
he had been educated at Yale and had re
ceived his theoretical political economy
from a well-known free-trade pro
fessor there.' Having completed his
studies. he spont some years
in Germany, and soon becamo convinced
that practically tho only course open to na
tions was the policy of protection. *1
think,’ hauI Mr. Akabane, with a foreign ac
cent ‘that your New England professors
need to travel aud study the conditions and
experience of other nations before they
enunciate so loudly their doctrines. Look
ing out from their own narrow surround
ings, they do not see all, and moreover they
are behind the advanced economic thought
of such nations as Germany, and surely
they will not say Germany has no scholars
and thinkers. With profound respect for
my former teachers, I would advise them
to travel und to study, and then, I think,
their views would not be so one-sided.’
When remonstrated with by a Democratic
Senator aboat a bad appointment, this was
the reply: “I don’t care any more for this
discontent,” said the President, “than the
mountain cares for the zephyr that blows
over its top.” The language is highly poet
ical. Translated into prose, it reads: “The
Democratic party be d—d.”
At the meeting of the Chicago Baptist
ministers, the Rev. Dr. Kortlirup gave the
result of his study of Sam Jones and Sam
Small. There was, be said, an element of
grtmsness ami vulgarity about them, and
yet, to his mind, Sam Jones was “a com
bination of Bob Ingersoll and John the
Baptist.” The points of similarity between
Bob an Sam the first may not be hard to
find, but wc never heard that John the
Baptist chewed plug tobacco, handed round
his bat, sold hi t sermons, boarded at first-
class hotels, or secured the services of an
advance agent.
J. R. R. wbitks to tne Chronicle: “Ac
cording to some friend* of the President he
is a temperance man, but no bigot;
Christian, but no fanatic; a firm man, with
out hypocrisy; a politician without diplo
macy, a patriot without finesse; and

There appear* to be another Standard
Oil concern in Ohio: Some two years ago,
J. V. Lewis, an extensive manufacturer of
cotton seed oil in Cincinnati, conceived the
idea of forming a pool intended to control
the price of the commodity. According to
a St. Louis dispatch to the Chicago Tribune,
his efforts have succeeded, a corporation
having been formed known as tho Cotton
Oil Trust Company, which controls every
desirable mill west of the Mississippi river
and 50 per cent, of tho mills of the en
tire country. The capital stock of the
company is placed at $20,000,000, of which
bout $17,000,000 has been issued
to tho mills bought by the pools. The
plan of procedure is as follows: “If the
officers of the company decide that a cer
tain factory should be subject to pool con
trol, the owner is approached and invited
to sell his property. If it is unincumbered
and in good working order, he is given cer
tificates to the amount of three times the
value of bis mill. For less valuable proper
ty Icsh is paid. If the mill thus bought can
he operated with a profit, tho trust company
places in it a superintendent of its own and
takes possession of the property. From
that time the mill is run as the best inter
ests of the company dictate, the output
being regulated by the current price of the
cotton seed products.”
A Washington dispatch to tho Boston
Herald says: “The commissioner of inter
nal revenue says that the present year will
show a very large increase of receipts in his
department over last year. Tho first six
months showed an increase of over $1,500,-
000, and the second half year will show
more than that in all probability. Indica
tions now are tbat there will be a largo in
crease about the 1st of May, when tho now-
annual licenses are issued. The entile in
crease for the year will without doubt
be over $3,000,000. The prospects
of internal revenue are said
bo an excellent indication
of a general revival of business, and a gen
eral improvement is thought to be manifest
in many kinds of business. Enormous cap
ital that has been waiting for employment

the railroads are increasing their rolling
stock, a thing that has not been done for
several years past. Besides this, thousands
of miles of new road uro to be built this
year, aud other thousands of miles are be
ing planned. This, of course, means the
employment of enormous capital and ar
mies of men. Tho greatest thing to be feared,
it is said, is that this new* impetus may ad
vance prices to such an extent that there
will be a geueral rush to production, and
the old stagnation will result. Tho impor
tant thing is that prices remain about as
they now are, and that speculation be held

Atlanta, March 11.—The moonahlner* of Jasper
count? §re said to be more desperate and danger-
oua than are even those of the North Georgia
mountain fastnesses. Early yesterday morning
Deputy Collector Chisolm anl three other deputies
made a raid on a distillery belonging to M. N. Wil
liams. who live* ia Jaspeanot far from Jackson, in
liutta county, Mr. Williams enjoys tho repute o{
being the "oldest rat in the corn crib," and is known
to be desperate. The |raid on the distillery
proved the old man has some claim
on his reputation, for the still was not in the dia
tiUery. After search, it was found in Mr. Williams’s
cellar. As Mr. Chisolm was just near tho house.
Williams raised a double-barrel shot gun and aimed
it at his back. Just as he clicked the trigger cock
ing it. Deputy Miller came around a corner of the
house. As quick as sight he drew a rille bead
Mr. Williams and told him if he moved he would
dead man. Upon that Mr. Williams capitu
lated. The still waa taken and carried to Jackson.
Mr. Willi*ms followed it there.and had Deputy Chis
olm placed under arrest for trespass. Last night the
magistrate aud sheriff began to see tbeir guilt in
interfering with a Federal officer iu the discharge
of his duty, and Mr. Chisholm was dismissed from
hock.
r, strange as it may seem to many that Wil
liams was not arrested, yet tho law is such that he
could not be without a Federal warraut. These
internal revenue officers can only arrest men with-
warrant whom they catch in the act of violat
ing the revenue laws.
Deputy Special Internal Revenue Officer Colquitt,
who had joined the officers at Jackson, piloted them
back to a place near Locust Grove, in Henry county,
where they captured an eighty-gallon still with fix
tures complete. Jim Voss is tho owner.

Tub Chicago Times of Sunday last, has
this to say of the Reverends Small and
Jones, from which it would appear tbat the
financial results were much better than the
religious: “The sensution of the week in
church circles has been the presence of
Sam Jones and Barn Small. They have at
tracted large and curious audiences by their
strange sounds, but the city cannot be said
to havo gone wild over them, nor yet to
have been shaken to any appreciable extent
by their preaching or meetings. They havo
'drawn," nevertheless, and from all classes,
but U probably not putting the ea™ too
strongly to remark tbat with all of tho ad-
ertising they have received they
have somehow failed to impress
the church at large as they
were expected to, or aa they have been re
ported to have done in other cities they
have visited. The meetings which were in
progress when they came hero have gone on
with unabated interest, and there has been
no upheaval ot any kind, and instead of the
winiiters as a class putting their shoulders
to the wheel and welcoming thorn with ont-
stretched arms and glad hearts, they ap
pear to have been engaged in patting tbeir
heads together and debating in whispers
the probable effect of their visit and work.
In n word, the ministers and
staid churchmen generally, with very
few exceptions, somehow seem
to have been overtaken by a degree of
coolneui little expected, and the evangelists
have evidently felt it. The cause ia not
definitely known, of course, but there are
those in the conuunnity who claim that
they have mistaken Chicago for a back-
woods village or mining camp, and that their
pnlpit style has been absolutely offensive,
their language shocking at times, and their
influence calculated to debase rather than
elevate the cause of religion. But, be this
as it may, there baa boon a noticable want
of enthusiasm on tho part of the religions
element of the city over their coming and
pretence—n proposition which can not he
successfully gainsaid."
