infringement upon their theories,

submitted to the teachings of this
class of men are beginning to learn
the absurdity of neglecting the sub
stance, the reality and running af-
ter a shadow. We have had
enough, and more than enough
of this already. This subject of a

already attracted some attention,

the most serious consideration on
the part of statesmen and patriots.

4 NATIONAL SYSTEM OF EDU-
CATION.

When suffrage becomes universal
az we have it in this country, edu
cation should also be made uni
versal. The more thoughtful PEG,
pie of the United States entertain
grave applehensions yet, in regard
to the solution of this problem oil
universal suffrage 1t is an Ameri>
can idea, and the people of the old
world, as they always have been,
are skeptical as to it's success. All
agree that ignorant suffrage is a
dangerous thing in q republican
government. NJ one has the bold
ness to come out in favor of q
restricted suffrage, even if they
believe in it, but there are few who
will not admit the great Importance
of removing ignorance.
While VIC would not throw a
straw in the way of the public
schools as managed by the States,
and would never consent that they
shall be abandoned until we have
something better, yet We are cons
WINGED that it will be a long time
before they will become efficient
enough in all the States to answer
the imperative demand for universal
education.
A friend has placed in our hands
a treatise on this subject, from the
pen of Hon. r. NJ. Bradley, of
Lancaster, Kentucky, a gentleman
of ability, age and experience, who
has given the matter q great deal
of thought. He argues with much
force the expediencey, desirability
and constitutionality of national
system of education. He believes
that under the organization of such
a system and proper management,
much could be accomplished by way
of Obliterating sectional feelings
and sectional lines, and that they
would finally be forgotten and dis
appear entirely. Under the Con-
stitution of the United States,
Congress has right to "proyide
for the common defense and general
welfare of the people, IL this
does not include general education,
what does it mean ? And the s'com-
mon defense ought to, if it does
not, imply a defense against ignor-
ance.

Conkling's Hatred Of Blaine.
Washington Special to the Cincinnati
Commercial

| Washington Special to the Cincinnati
| Commercial.
Senator Conkling has been made
to feel, in many ways, the weight O
popular displeasure on account O.
his shabby treatment of Mr.. Blaine
in the great debate. The Senator
now sees that the matter is no
likely to be soon forgotten, and may
injure his Presidential prospects
and he is out with an explanation
He says that he intended no disre'
spect to Mr.. Blaine, and continues

endeavored to avoid rafting the
leaves as I turned them, and was
particularly careful to not in the
least attract the attention of any,

use a lead-pencil instead of a pen in
making corrections. The paper on
which my argument was written was
very thin, and, as a consequence,
there was no noise in handling it.
But some reporter saw me reading,
and circulated the story that [ had
resorted to this mode to eyade lis
tening to Mr.. Blaine's remarks,
which l pronounce incorrect. Had
not that manuscript been brought
to me at that time Mr.. Blame would
not have had a more attentive lis
tener in the Senate Chamber"
Senator Conkling refers to "some
newspaper reporter" as starting the
story. 1t was seen and noted by
every reporter in the gallery and
every person on the floor. No fea-
ture of the days debate was so
much talked about.
The attitude of Conkling and
Blaine to each other is q matter of
much amusement, especially to
Democratic Senators. To-day,
whenever Blaine got a whack in
debate, ConkIing would smile and
rub his hands, as if inexpressibly
delighted. Both Senators reirained
from referring to each other, ex-
cept in the most distant and round
about way, which caused great
merriment to outsiders. During
portion Of the time the dispute was
pending, Conkling was called away
to the Supreme Court room.

NJ E L 7 THE @ UES ST 1 o \
ARELY.

The Cleveland Banner of the cur
rent week has a sensible editorial on
the State debt question, the conclud-
ing paragraph of which is as follows ::
This is popular Government. The
| people have the matter in their own
| nandz. If they cboOse to drag this
! question along intOihe future, an ever
| Impending burden. it will baug there,
\ perpetual incubus, until the day
does come when "A manly and candid
course is adopted. II they choose to
keep it perpetual burdeu-an lncu-
bus resting upon every Industry ana
crampiDg and paralyZing all exerti0ns
and Cnergy-such course IS
certainly in their power. There
is no c0nstraint that can posi-
bly, come from any quarter. 1t is
simply a question whether the PEG pie
will choose to rely upon narrow time
serving or 10 decide that this question
shall be dealt with and settled by
broad statesmaDship. Certainly the
effort to escape the burden by relying
upon the breath Of the stump orator
has brought us no nearer settlement.
Whether we settle and pay or not it
Is q recognised burden all the same.
and 1t may cause some men TO pause
and consider whether violated Obli-
cation may not bear as heavily, or
more heavily, upon community than
one squareIy met ADD candidly dealt
with"
This is the plain truth plainly
spoken. The State debt is a bur
den, and can be nothing else until
it is hOnorably disposed of. We
may repudiate, but the moral obi
CATION to pay remains, and we suf-
fer in addition, the disgrace which
attaches to the dishonesty. We
may hatter ourselves with the be-
lief that we can escape the burden
by reputation, but it is delusion.
We can do no such thing. When
politicians tell US we can, they lie,
either from ignorance or Wilfully.
The time-serying demagogue may
persuade the unwary and unthink-
ing for a time, that this question
can be lodged, and that our credi-
tors may be snubbed, trifed with
and insulted, until becoming salts
fed that We have the advantage of
them and that We intend to take
whatever we choose, they will COM
promise their claims at any figure,
but they will in due season gather
the bitter fruits of their evil deeds.
While We delay action the debt goes
on and increases. Every time the
sun rises and sets the debt increases
four thousand dollars. While the
narrow-minded politicians would lull
US into state of Indifference, the
obligation remains and grows more |
formidable.
Then, as we prize our good name,
our public and private honor, and |
our material welfare, let US meet |
this question squarely and dispose
of it like men.

St. Petersburg letters give the result of in.
terviews with several leading men on the war
prospects.
Baron Jomini says he does not despair of a
congress, and that Russia has made sacrifices
was blunder, and not to have entered Con-
stantinople was another. He could not tell
whether there would be peace or war;
Lord Lotus said England is at peace with
the entire world, and wishes to maintsn it,
England does not want the treaty of San Ste.
fano, and in case of war, England will have the
alliance of Austria, and that France will throw
herself into the arms of England when the lat
ter shows its great power; that Germany will
not be against England and that congress
will meet. After the congress England will
have all she desires, and will remain what she
is, the preponderating nation.
General Van Schweiltz, German ambassa-
dor, does not believe q congress will meet and
says that Germany will do all for peace it can,
and if war ensues it will be disastrous to EGG
land and Russia.
Gen. Lapguap, Austrian ambassador, said
that since certain explanations by Russia had
been made, Austria desires the congiess, which
he believes will assemble; that after the con-
gress England only can tell what may happen,
and meanwhile Austsia will continue mobiliz.
ing troops to be ready for anything.
NEW YORK, May 17-Baron Hamburger Of
Russia does lot believe in the congress.
Prince Ghika of Roumonia sees war in the
future of all who desire the destruction of the
treaty of San Stefa1o, and that war will reduce
Russiato nothing.
Cheveler Nigra, Italian minister, believes
the congress will assemble; that war between
Russia and England will follow; that other.
will remain neutral; that England will simply
occupy Egypt, which is her objective point.
Gen. Lefo, French ambassador, says the
congress will be held and peace will ensue, but
if war should come, only Russia and England
would be engaged. The other powers would
visit the Paris Exposition. France certainly
will remain neutral.
Sehouvalo6's Influence with the Gear.
LONDON, May lit is believed that Schou

Europe most of the demands formulated by
England. The assembling of the congress ap
pears consequently assured. despite the Difficult
ties which have arisen at ConstantiDople con
corning the surrender of the foftresses.
