FEDERAL INTERFERENCE WITH STATE
Schools .

Shall the General Government distribute GER
tain portions of its revenue among the several
States, TO he applied TO the education of the
"pcoplc"2 This question, in one form or
another, was discussed by the National Educa-
tional Association at lis late session in Wash
ington, and the proposition met with much
favor. The matter has also been brought di-
rcctly to the notice of Congress, in the shape
Of several bills which have been framed for
the purpose OF carrying the scheme into effect
of these bills, the one which is perhaps the
most carefully drawn, and which has been read
twice in the Senate aud referred TO the Com
mittec on Education and Labor, provides that
the net proceeds OF the public lands, the net
proceeds of patents and all sums hereafter
paid to the United States by railroad COM
panics, either us principal or interest, upon
any loans OF money, or credit, or bonds, shall
be forever set apart for the education of the
people in the various States.
Without considering whether our finances
are in such nourishing condition that the
country can well afford to divert any of its
revenues into new channels, there seem to be
serious objections to such an innovation. The
relations which such an act would establish
between the CENTRAL and local authorities in
our system are, to say the least, unusual
However the details of the scheme may be
constructed, there will necessarily be some
Official or officials constituted by the Federal
Government, who Will exercise in the several
States, up to certain point. the essential
powers and jurisdiction which are now IN
vested in State superintendent of Instruction.
This central authority must, within GER
tain limits, apportion and distribute the
money expended, prescribe the methods
of its expenditure, define the objects for
which it is to be used, see to it that
the provisions of the law are complied with,
and innct penalties for negligence or disobe-
diencc on the part of the States. Of course
all this would give opportunity for endless

Somebody has overheard Secretary Thompson

year, and the work Of providing the Cabinet with

As Mr.. Thompson is the member of the Cabinet

the Old Line Wing, his retirement will be inter
preted possibly, sign that that most unproiita-
bic exploring expedition has been permanently
abandoned.

UILD SPECULA7ION.

The Philadelphia morocco dealers who have
been caught in the crash of the Stokes firm
attribute their misfortune to "wlld spccula-
"tion." The Stokeses, they say, have been
"hitc-nying." In the flush times Of the war
they made money, and all through the period
of depression they have been continuing bust
ness on scale which neither the condition
of the trade nor the amount of their resources
would Justify. \ score. more or less, Of ire
sponsible firms have been dependent upon
them. Accommodation paper has been passed
back and forth from hand to hand. Notes
never 10 he redeemed have been counted as
cash. Thus has been built up huge comb
nation Of houses without capital, and of credit
transactions with nothing behind them. Ii
may be said without much cxaggcration, that
the assets of such concerns consist OF
wind, and their profits represent debts.
Such is the explanation of the failures
offered by some of the victims. We do
not know whether il does injustice to
anybody it is not at all unlikely that 1t does :;
but it is notorious that in all our commercial
cities there are card houses so leaning against
one another that an accident in any part of
the line will bring down the whole row. Pru-
dent merchants agree that where the system
of dealing sham capital prevails, there can
be no safety and no real prosperity, and that
even little temporary distress ought to be
welcomed if IT helps To put trade back again Oh
Il substantial foundation.

To meet sudden emergency, promising faith

That promise it has ever since borne in mind !;
and because the world believed in its honesty
and saw il making steady preparations to full
Ill its pledges, its credit stood high and nobody
pressed for payment. OF course, there was
some hardship TO be endured in getting back
TO solid ground but we have lived through it /;
we have learned to accommodate our eXpen-
ditures to more moderate income,
and, to check the impulse toward wild
speculation which was fOstercd in the
busting and exciting times of war, the times of
lavish outlay, unstable prices, sudden fortunes
and sudden disasters. Now, when the Difficult
ties of resumption have been overcome. we are
urged to undo all that has been accomplished
by 80 much trouble, and go back to the system
of kite-nyng and reckless credit, although we
know that sooner or later the country will
have to go through fresh crisis of failures and
forced rctrenchment in order to get back to the
position III which it stands to-day. Stimulant

Senate had scarcely rejected Mr.. Magonc yes
tcrday before the Governor sent i'll new

that have preceded it, 1t is difficult
to infer from the series of nominations which
he has now made, Just what Governor Robin

Magonc a canal investigator, and now Mr..

the Scnatc's way Of knocking down
the pins which the Governor persists in setting
up, will confirm Warden Clark. 1t may be
that he is fully qualified for the position; 1t
is certainly in his favor, as the Warden of
Sing Sing, that Superintendent Pilsbury, in
his recent report credits him with large
share OF the reforms effected in that prison,
though 1t is difficult to sec that it sheds
any strong light on his ability to Jnan-
age the canals. But MIR. Clark IS COM

nominees are likely to be any bettcr.-A letter

Inasmuch as the marriage festival at Mad
rid, yesterday, was not disturbed by
the appearance Of ex-Qucen Isabella ii
may be deemed, in all respects. auspi-
cous The European Powers, the Pope and
the Orleans family shOwcrcd congratulations
on the royal pair, and wished them a
prosperous reign. The Republicans and
adherents of Queen Isabella refraincd
from any signs Of marked displcasurc,
and allowed Madrid to enter on Its
five days of fcstivity, without the slightest
protest. In tins respect both parties have
acted discreetly, and paid homage to that
sense of chivalry which still fingers in
Spain. The young King has evidently
acted wisely IN marrying Spanish
Infanta, i'll preference to foreign princess.
In the present state of Europe it would have
been impossible for him to marry into royal
house without occasioning jealousy and
distrust such as prccipitated the Franco Ger
man war; Except III this negative manner tlc
royal alliance is almost devoid of political sig
niicance. 1t ought to strengthen the rcla-
tons between the houses OF Bourbon and
Orleans, but family ties weigh lightly with
either when personal or political interests are
at stake. The age is past when relationships
such as exist between the royal families OF
Germany and England, of Portugal and Italy,
were pledges of amity or of alliance.
