The Boston Pilot.

The paper bearing this name claims u
| be Catholic paper. We say claims ad-
visedly. Gun paper which volunteers ite
columns as the willing medium of partizan
lies. be strictly called CatholicT 1t is evil
dent that it could not, If those lies related to
religious matters, and is it not almost as
evident when, though they do not refer to
such matters they do to others OF grave
public import and seriously affecting private
rights A paper not imbued with the spirit
Of truth and justice in all things cannot
properly be called Catholic.
We are referring now to the most unfair
and apparently malicious course of the
journal in question in publishing versions of
the Colfax affair in Grant parish of this
State. Its issue of May Ord inst, had
about half column Of what it calls ga
statement IF colored men-how the diff
entity originated" under the following head
ing in immense type,
TIE MASSACRE OF THE DLACKs.
This was published without word of
comment except what was contained in its
very expressive caption. Nowhere in
the paper could we discover any attempt
to correct the impression that might ma
turally be given by this concoction of lot
of interruptions negro politicians, or to
present the opposite representations of
white men, on the same topic. Surprising,
however, that this omission might be &C.
cidental, we awaited the next issue of the
Boston Pilot, which has since come to
hand under the date Of May 10th.
Unfortunately this number is no improve
ment on the former. Again it presents the
same ominous caption,
THE MASSACRE OF THE BLACKS
this time introducing the romance of Mr..
Packard addressed to Attorney General
Williams through the medium of the tele-
graph. Again not a word of warning
against being imposed on, not word init
mating that therewas different version of
the affair to be consulted.
And yet this sheet which thus makes
itself the organ Of some wicked negro plum
derers, and of the vilest political harpies
who ever robbed prosecuted people-this |
sheet does not hesitate to address itself to |
Southern patronage and to send it's partiz-
an issues down here among those whom it
thus not only insults but aids in opprcss-
ing.
The Boston Pilot has no excuse for its
political bigotry in the Puritanical climate
where it exists. That splendid journal the
Boston Post is visible proof that courtesy,
honor, humanity and broad patriotism can
be combined with intellectual ability of
the highest order, as eminently in Boston
rs elsewhere.

NATIONAL EDUCATION SCHEMES.


We drift so naturally and easily into all
sorts of schemes for giving to the Govern
ment the care and direction of enterprises
that should be conducted upon individual re-
sponsibility, and are so ready to adopt every
visionary project for investing Government
with parental functions, that it seems really
refreshing to hear such breezy, clear-beaded
talk as that was of President Eliot's the other
day at Elmira on the proposition to establish
National University. The suggestion itself
is n rather taking one. AT first blush it seems
quite the thing to do, and some very sensible
men, educators themselves and interested in the
promotion of sound learning have fallen in
with it with more or less of enthusiasm. A
National University, with trustees, faculties,
officers, and instructors appointed by Govern
ment, seems so logical growth from the
common school system, with its teachers
selected by district committees and paid by
assessment and tax upon the district, that
there is disposition to jump to the conclu-
sion that it is a very proper thing to estab-
lish such a university. Instead Of being utterly
at variance with the spirit of democratic
institutions, it has to the superficial observer
the appearance of being perfect elimination
of them. Education, he says, is and must be
the bulwark of our liberties State that calls
every citizen a sovereign, and exercises no
discrimination in appOrtioning among its peo-
pie the privileges and responsibilities of gov
eminent, is bound in the interests Of its own
perpetuation and in its own defense to edu-
cate its sovereigns to knowledge of their
duties. And if in our common schools, which
are admitted to be a proper and powerful
factor in the development of democratic ideas
and the success of democratic institutions. we
teach at the public expense the rudiments Of
learning, why shall we not carry out the prin-
ciple, and at the public expense and under
Government management open the avenues to
the highest educationf
Well, why not 7 President Eliot, in his adj
dress before the National Educational Assoc
citation at Elmira the other day, answered the
question very eflectually and satisfactorily.
The address was in the nature of report
upon a scheme which had been presented to
the Association for the establishment OF a
National University. A considerable portion
of the report was occupied with a history Of
the scheme and the progress of the discus
sion upon it. Two bills having this object in
view have been introduced in the United
States Senate, and President Eliot dissected
and disposed OF both, showing them TO be,
even If the principle were correct, entirely

THE NEED OF SELF-DENYING OR


DINANCE.
When the members of the last Congress, in
those genial closing hours of the session when
all the troubles and scruples and cares Of the
year melt away in a champagny gush of good
feeling voted themselves an increase of salary
and gratuity of $1,000 apiece, they appa-
rently had no thought of what they were really
doing. They felt good-natured over the close
of their work and the prospect of getting
home again. A pocket full of money is as
important an accessory of good spirits as
skin full of wine. They wanted the cash, and
had certain confusion of ideas as to the way
in which they were getting it, AS it was voted
by Congress, each man felt the response
bility 80 divided that it scarcely touched
him anywhere. He did not seem to be
taking it. He seemed to be receiving
il. He had served the Nation faithfully,
and he took these walls" as a good servant
pockets the dollar of departing guest, who
is satisfied with him. The Congressman felt
no more sense of degradation in voting him
self this gratuity than John Thomas feels in
iptercepting the guest on the stairs and wish
ing him pleasant journey. So hay sense
of responsibility pervaded both Houses in re-
lation to this matter, that Mr.. Shelabarger
thought it would be insulting to mis- fellow
members if he refused his share; and Mr..
Matt. Carpenter, rising, as was natural, to
higher moral altitude than the rest, insisted
that it was a penal violation Of the law and
gross contempt of the Constitution for any
man to decline it, They took the money and
went home in state Of complacency which
can only be compared to that OF the hero OF
the ballad, who stuck in his thumb and pulled
out plum, and said, "What Good Boy am y
There was apparently no apprehension OF
any future calling to account. 1t was an OIL
year in politics, they argued. They had grown
accustomed, after the manner of politicians. to
weighing all actions, not by their moral quail
ity, but by the effect they would produce upon
the stump In Presidential year they would
not have dreamed of taking this money. They
would not have dared confront that fierce
ouadrennial light which beats upon politicians
with any such plumber in their pockets. But
Judging all men by caucus standard, they
thought there was nothing to be made this
year by attacking this measure; therefore
it would not be attacked-at least not

inadequate for the purpose they would serve,
and full of weaknesses, plumbers, and faults
Passing from these topics to the con-
sideration of the true policy OF our
Government as regards university instruc-
ton, he demonstrated the essential
unsoundness of the theory that it is the duty
of the Government to provide university edu-
cation for its citizens. This notion that
benefcent government should provide and
control an elaborate organization for teaching,
lust as it maintains an army, n navy, ana
post-oifice, he pronounced to be of European orr
gin. and a legitimate corollary to the theory
of government by Divine right. The concep-
ton of government which gives the
State conscience and moral re-
sponsibility, and puts among Its most
imperative duties and functions that OF diff
fusng knowledge and advancing science, Is
entirely false. This doctrine of State person
atty and conscience, though natural enough
under "Grace of God" governments, finds
no ground of application to republican con-
declarations. The fallacy of the proposition is
illustrated by showing that when carried to
it's logical results it leads to the establishment
of a national church.
The kernel of the whole question, however,
is stated with wonderful clearness and force
in the few sentences upon personal and paternal
government with which President Eliot closed
his admirable address. If the people OF the
United States have any special destiny. he says,
" it is to try to work out under extraordinarily
" favorable circumstances the problem of free
institutions for a heterogeneous, rich, null
a 1ot,N
"territOry. We indeed want to breed
scholars, artists, poets, historians, novel;
"ists. engineers physicians, jurists, theooglans,
"and orators; but, first of all, we want to
"breed race of independent, self-reliant
"freemen, capable of helping, guiding, and
governing themselves The habit of being
helped by the Government. even if it be to
things good in themselves, like education, be-
gets feeling of abject dependence which IS
a most nsidous enemy of republlcanlsm. Inc
American doctrine is concisely stated in this,
THAT government is to do nothing not ex-
"pressly assigned it to do, that it is to
"perfOrm no function which any private
"agency can perform as well, and that it is
mot to do a public good even, unless that
good be otherwise unattainable."
The argument upon the question Vi es'ap
fishing National University, admirable as 1t
is, clear, ringing, unanswerable, has wider
application than to that special subject. We
have grown into the loosest possible notions
of the functions and the scope of government.
We lay all sorts of burdens and responsibilities
upon it; we are utterly careless what manner
of men are put in charge of it; it is at once
pack-hOrse and scapegoat; we expect 1T to do
everything for us, while ofenses against 1t III
the way of corrupting the ballot buying and
selling its official positions, and ilching from
its treasury, are the most venial of offenses.
President Elots talk is a breath of fresh air.
