The National Republican of Washington is
of the deliberate opinion that ono man In ono
school district in Virginia, and be, too, neither
the trustee nor teacher, aud having no more to
do With tho public SCHOOLS than any other man
in bis district, should have the power to pre-
scribe the books to DO used and the discipline to
be enforced in those schools, and that sugges-
ton to the effso. that if that man refuses to let
bis cbildrhn be taught from the books 10 use
in, and to conform to the discipline OF, the
schools, they should be sent home and their
seats given to others who will comply with the
school rules is in full accord with the robel
spirit which originated the books" referred to.
It also thinks that all tho other children in the
school except thcs, of the one man alluded to
should Withdraw SO that the latter may be
taught from the books of bis selection. Well.
"there is nothing too Inconsistent for the human
mind" as an old friend Of ours used to remark,
especially if that mind be of radical turn.

Oae great fault with tho democratic patty
and one that certainly distinguishes it from Its
political opponents the fact thut DO matter what
charges may be brought against 1t. there arc
always plenty Of its own members to believe
them. The case Of General Chalmers, from
Mississippi affords CD instance 10 point. Eco
tious in Mississippi, az in other States, arc con-
Quoted according to forms prescribed By law
and yet though ballots ia bis district were
thrown out because they did not conform to the
regulation prescribed by law, it is said that bis
election to the House was fraudulent. and there
are democrats who concede that it was. A rea-
sonsble way to talk about his case is to say that
there is no necessity for election laws they arc
not to be observed. but that if such laws are
allowed to remain on the statue books and there
be an attempt to execute them. General Chal'
mers has as much lsgal right to seat 10 the
next House as any other member Of that body.

Now that the Utes are In Washington they
refuse to say anything about the outbreak
last fall. Before the Indian Committee the
other day Ouray was non-committal. and his
evidence was highly unsatisfactory, while
Jack pretended that he did not understand
English and refused to answer. As his ex-
animation was about to conclude he suddenly
broke forth In very good English, denied that
he had anything to do with the fight with the
troops, and mad no hand In the Meeker mas
sacre. The committee was very much dis
gusted with the outcome Of the Investigation.
Ouray was told that the object In bringing
the Indians to Washington was to hear their
We rsion OF the Colorado difficulties, and
that the committee was friendly to them and
anxious to protect them in their rights. He
listened attentively. the dispatches say. but
made no reply. So 1t appears that after all

the Utes to 60 to Washington. 1t Is as Tar as

grave question Of state has arisen In Bel.
MUM. A few days ago. soon after the explo-
sion Ii the st. Petersburg Winter Palace, q
practical Joker exploded tire-cracker under
the carriage Of the Queen. The latter tainted
with fright, and refused to be quieted until
the exploded cracker was shown her. The
question now arises. what Is to be done with
the joker. It will scarcely do to try him for
mally-that would make majesty ridiculous;

In the race for the Liverpool cup Parole
carried the top weight Of the English course
Isl pounds. This was fifteen pounds more
yet won, carried. Why such difference was
made between the two horses will not readily
be understood by Americans, inasmuch as
they are of the same age. That Parole. un-
der the circumstances, came out ahead is
truly remarkable. and that fact alone would
stamp him as great horse even II his reputa-
tion had not already been 80 nobly earned

O0wDEN REDIvIvUs.

One Of the most amusing things that has
been published recently was the statement
that Capt. John Cowden, who has for years
been the victim OF strange delusion In re.
gard to the Mississippi river, and who knowe
no more about the dynamics Of the river than
he does OF the spots on the sun, has actually
converted the famous engineer, Mr.. de Leg
seps, to his theory Of deep water canal via
Bayou Barataria, which would give free &C.
cess to New Orleans to ships drawing thirty
feet.
The story is that Cowden, who has never
forgiven Eads for his success with the jetties,
In defiance OF all his tCowdens) predictions.
succeeded in proving to Lesseps that his
idea Of canal across the isthmus was i'm
practicable by reason OF the determination 81
the American people not to permit any for ei9n
company TO build It, and then laid before him
his splendid Barataria canal scheme. " hich
at once seduced the eminent Frenchman, who
saw millions In 1t" and concluded to drop
Darien and It's difficulties and to go into the
easy sailing job OF Cowden's canal. The
practical Joker who seriously telegra phed
this piece Of tom -foolery ought to be ashamed
Of himself for taking such liberties with the
name OF the great engineer OF the Suez Canal
The absurdity OF the statement was not re-
lieved BY even the appearance Of probability.
for all the world knows, and Lesseps is inti-
mately acquainted with the fact, that the
jetties now give free access to ships drawing
over twenty-five feet and will furnish each
succeeding year deeper channel dntil the
maximum depth shall have been obtained
As matter Of fact, New Orleans has nearly,
II not quite, as deep channel to the sea as
she desires or Is likely to have any neces-
sity for for many years to come, and
having obtained It through the labor
and genius Of Capt. Eads, she pro-
poses to rest satisfied on the subject OF
deep water ut the mouth Of the river, and to
devote al her energies TO securing the i'm

provement of the great river itself and its
tributaries, Ia order that the bArges laden
with the golden hafvests Of the West may
come unvexed by bars and shadows TO our
city.
In this connection we may call attention to
the fact that the Mississippi River Commits
sion has with tremendous force sat down
upon Mr.. Cowden and his outlet system {by
which he proposes to deepen the channel OF
the river BY drawing off vast volumes Of
water), declaring II unworthy Of serious con-
sideration. Or course this action has not
pleased Cowden, who has proceeded to de-
everybody who cannot be convinced of the
practicability Of his ridiculous and chlmer-
ical schemes.
Tho New York Sun, whose animosity to
Eads seems to grow out Of the fact that he
has succeeded In giving New Ofleans deep
channel 10 the sen. In recent article took oe-
casion TO refer slurrinRly to the ietties as
not being such great things after oil, and
spoke Of Cowden az knowing more about the
Mississippi river than any man living The
Sun exhibits petty malice unworthy of u
metropolitan newspaper In thus attempting
70 belittle great work because Of its hatred
Of the engineer, but the jetties can no more
be Injured by such foolish twaddle than can
tho reputation Of Mr.. Cowden be increased
by the Suns absurd adulation. The jetties
are too assured and grand a success TO be
whlstled down the wind by the Sun or by Mr..

Anrora Goats.

Mr.. B. Allen, of Indendence, Kansas,
had in EmporIa this week herd of
ninety cashmere goats which he had pur-
chased in Colorado. They were valued
at $500, and were nearly all pure stock
Mr.. Allen desired TO dispose of them
here, but being new thing to our stock
men, no one seemed to have any DISPOSE
tion to take hold of them. They are very
beautiful animals, and are said TO be
exceedingly profitable. The ewes are
very prolific, bearing from two to three
kids every season, there being three sea-
sons in the course of every
two years-that is, the increase from
each eve amounts TO from six to nine
kids every two years. The wool, aver
aging from two TO three pounds to each
animal, sells at from So cents to $115
per pound Their meat is held in high
favor by those using it, and il would
seem that before long wool ralsers in
this section must see the profits from
dealing in this kind of stock. Their
hardness is proverbial, the goat being
only second to tu the ostrich in the pow.
ers of its digestive apparatus. Mr.. Allen
ON Wednesday started with his herd for
Independence, where he can be address
