and Latin. Fathers who can do so much for
their boys can. in most cases. certainly, pay
the additional 475 year which would DO
the cost Of their tuition at Columbia College
or the University; and those who cannot
pay 1t can obtain for them scholarships,
which give them free education there, or
those colleges will remit the fees. They are
anxious for students in their academic de-
partments, and would welcome the addition.
This costly college was once only the Free
Academy, n high school, thing which Of
ITSELF as the Governor argues, is an excrcs-
conce ON our system of public education I;
but its teachers wished for something more.
Thcy wanted an out-and-out college TO COM
pete with Harvard aud Yale, to grant diplo-
mas, and TO give themselves additional
consequence and bigger salaries. Hence the
College of the City OF New York was imposed
on tho taxpayers with its little class of
graduates.
1t Is not needed it was founded on false
principle; IL benefits small class at the
expense Of the taxpayers, and 1t ought to
be abolished. Let US wait and see how our
Legislature will this year dare TO treat the
College Of the City Of New York-in the in
tcrcsts Of its faculty and the fcw rich mems
sons il graduates, or in tho interest OF the
people who gladly pay for the common
school education Of all the children ~ the
state, but who resent the injustice Of taxing
them for the instruction OF few privileged
boys in Greek and Latin.

An International Railroad Pool.

Under tho plan Of pooling railroad re-
ccipts, the managers of the four trunk lines
have virtually undertaken TO determine for
Boston for New York. for Philadelphia, and
for Baltimore the share which these cities
shall scycrally have in the Western trade.
These railroad magnatcs met together and
decided what rates should be charged on
the different lines from Western centres TO
Atlantic seaboard cities. These rates are
not determined by the distance travcrscd or
the cost Of transportation. The intention,
openly proclaimed, ia 10 mako such rates
as will secure to each line what. in tho
opinion of the pool managers, Is an cquita-
BILE share of the business to be transacted.
Out of this system has sprung gigantic
monopoly, which To all intcnts and purposes
paralyzcs competition between the four sea-
ports. As far as Western trade is con-
cerncd, the capital and enterprise OF our
merchants. rs well as our natural advan-
tagcs, are all thrown into the pool to sub
serve the interests of the railway mana
gers. Under this system weaker business
communities are proppcd up and made to
flourish at the expense Of New York.
It is now proposed by combination be-
steamship companies to establish uni
formity of through rates from the West to
Europe by way OF all the Atlantic ports.
The pool managers have reason to fear n
renewal Of competition and rate cutting be-
cause of individual arrangements with
ocean steamship lines. Among the latest
arrangements Of this kind. we notice now
line of eight steamers between Baltimore,
Rotterdam, Hayrc, Hamburg, and other
Continental ports. This new line is earnestly
supported by tho Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road. shipments Of cattle-a special feature
are guaranteed 10y large cattle and provision
dealers in Chicago. The first steamer leaves
in February. Another line OF six steamships,
now in course Of construction on the
Clyde, will ply between Baltimore and an
English port Philadelphia. In addition
TO the Blue star line, is about to acquire
new line to Amsterdam, and Boston new
line to Liverpool, employing eight iron
steamers, each Of three thousand tons ca
pactv, and under the management OF
the BABINGs. The compact between the
New York Central Railroad Company and
the Unicorn steamship line, under which
fourteen English-built iron freight vessels
will run from this port, in connection with
that railroad has already been noted
4 scheme to practically control the bulk
Of the export trade Of Boston, Now York
Philadelphia, and Baltimore, by means Of
an equalization of rates on all through
ircghts from inland points TO ports in
Europe by all scaboard routes may possibly
be- coutriycd, and even tired as a temporary
arrangement; it will not succeed, nor is 1t
desirable that II should.

THE NATIONAL FAIR.

The problem is solved. Every doubt that
has hung over the enterprise of the National
Fair Association on account of the brevity
Of the time allotted and the magnitude of
the work in hand has been dspelled. The
Inauguration yesterday was far better and
more satisfactory than could have been
hoped for under the circumstances. In an
other part of The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
will be found full and circumstantial re-
port Of the opening proceedings aud initia-
tory makeup of the exposition, and
hence we will defer all mention thereof in
this connection. Suffice it to say that in
success there is nothing like success, and
this, through the unconquerable energy and
enterprise of the managers Of the EXPOSE
ton, has been achieved i'll wonderful
degree.
But few weeks ago the territory dedi-
Gated to exposition purposes was farm lands
comprising q picturesque variety of hill
and dale, of cultivated fields and pasture
land, surrounded by rude fence and I'M
adorned by an editice Of the least architect
ural beauty to adorn the locality. Now it
contains within fine fence Enclosure an
Exposition Hall of large dimensions and
fine architectural design and execution, q
large and ornate Machinery and Agricul.
tural Hall, an Art Gallery of liberal dimen.
sions and appropriate architecture, a spacious
and beautiful Clubhouse, largo and com.
modiuus stables for the exhibition of stock
large number of stables connected with
the race course, and q race track of one
mile the finest on the Continent; and nj
this has sprung into existence within few
weeks under the magic touch of Washing
ton spirit and enterprise. Our city ha
cause to be proud Of this sudden addition
to its adjacent attractions, and especial,
should it feel an honorable pride in thi
remarkable display OF the energy and en-
terprise of its citizens who have achieve
so much within brief period Of time. w
take pleasure in congratulatiug the pcopl
Of Washington and the Executive Commit
tee of the National Fair Association o
what has been accomplished through thi
enterprise for the future of the Nationa
Capital.

view is MS follows:

THE business men of Washington who
were represented in the industrial parade
yesterday failed, with three or fur eXcep-
tons, to catch the spirit of the occasion. A
long string Of wagons, so to speak, inter-
spersed here and there with an omnibus
carrying brass band, attracted general
attention and ELECTED much comment as an
illustration of the varied and multifarious
business resources of our active commercial
community. In this especial regard the
display was entirely satisfactory but with
the few exceptions noted, there were he
attempts at decorative exhibits and dis
appointing absence of illustrative devices
by which advertisers, to whom the parade
was devoted, would naturally expect to
attract custom. We do not mean by this
that there should have been q carnival
procession, although the grotesque never
fails on such occasions to receive due notice
and approval but we do mean and think
that the parade could have been and will
be improved upon when another one is
