MAuoNE's EDUCATIONAL Policy,

MAHoNE's EDUCATIONAL Policy,
which receives the endorsement of the
Republican party by their alliance
with the Repudiators, and the sympa-
thy and aid accorded them by the adj
ministration and the Republican press
everywhere, is very forcibly illustrated
by an article in the New York World,
from which we give the subjoined ex-
tract. The political mountebank, who
fathers the dishonest methods alluded
to, appeared in New York last week,
to solicit funds for carrying on the re-
pudiating campaign in Virginia, and
was received and applauded by the
Union League, at the head of which
stands Judge Noah Davis:
"The effect of Senator Mahon's edu.
cational measure called the Riddleber-
ger bill will be to ruin every college in
Virginia. Many years ago these colleges
invested their funds in Virginia State
securities. Washington and Lee uni
versity took s9l, 1927 worth of bonds
yielding &5, sos. as annual interest. Sen.
ator Malone, with the Endorsement OF
Judge Davis, proposes to force the col
lege to accept in ful satisfaction OF this
debt $40, ,TSl. ~, yielding at the most
81 200 year interest. Hsmpden Sid
ney college holds s70.s50 worth of bonds.
which Senator Mahons eraciously offers
to "readjusp into s3l.3j6. To Ran.
dolph Macon college he tsnders $500
in the lieu of $l9.70s. Tt Richmond
college $29, 1880 instead Of S44,0l7.i9
To the Blacksburg agricultural and me
chanical college $lS2,50T iqstead of
$344 4,3l3-being loss OF Sl6lT53 TO be
inflicted on an institution especially
designed for the benefit Of the farmers
Of Virginia. To the Hampton normal
colored school. established to educate
the poor and lowly" Africans Of Vir-
ginia, he offers $ol ,2s5 instead of slT2,
l56. This gives US within a trad@
amount of three quarters OF miIiIC~
OF bonds purchased in part with the
money OF testators bent on serving the
peep!s of Virginia and in part with the
results of close management of earn
ings, but in all cases purchased in
firm reliance on the public honor and
honesty of the Old Dominion, at which
Senator Malone last night sneered,
amid the applause of the Union League
club of New York, rs n thing of little
consequence in comparison with the
control by Republican placemen of the
federal spoils.

article in which they deal, they control
the entire productive supply. As the
recent address of the Tammany Hall
Democrats OF New York declares, sit
controls the pipe lines that carry the
native oil as IL issues from the soil, il
monopolizes the iron tanks in which IL
is transported over the rail, IL dictates
the price TO be charged on the clarified
product as il comes from the refinery,
and in fact even the corner groceryman
who deals IL out In small quantities 20
the consumer Is forced by this monopo-
ly TO sell ut a stated price, under penal.
ty of withdrawal OF the product"
A few years ago when the combina-
lion which has since developed into
this great Standard monopoly was max.
ing its feeble beginnings its power could
have been efieclually curbed by the
passage of free pipe law. A measure
so simple and just, and so completely
within the Law making power of the
State would have made the trade free
in great Pennsylvania product. SEES
session. after session the oil producers
sent representativ to the legislature
demanding the passage of such bill.
IL more than once passed the House, but
vas always successfully resisted in the
Senate. Not only was the free pipe bill
defeated but its most earnest advocates,
Dill and Fertig, were defeated at the
ballot box by people partial against
themselves. These considerations have
encouraged the Standard monopoly TO
take still hold of the policies of the
State which they have so ruthlessly
plundered, and they are now turning
their attention to the defeat of Orange
Noble for State Treasurer.

The plea of insanity IS to be set up
and relied upon for the defence in the
case of Guiteau for the murder Of the
President. His own narrative, care
fully written, shows deliberation and
motive for the act, which will no
doubt be a fruitful subject of argu.
ment on both sides. Guiteau gives
the conception of the idea as follows {:

Agricultural statistics of the census bureau
show an unprecedented advance In productions
OF all kinds. During the last decade the average
increase in the production OF corn, wheat, oats.
and other staple products was one hundred per
cent, while the increase between 1869 and 1870
was only twelve per cent, and that between
1850 and 1850 was but forty three per cent. Be-
tween 1S6U and 1870 the four years OF civil war
naturally reduced the productions OF the coun.
try. but making all due allowance for that, the
Increase between 1870 and 1889 Is gratifying.
Agriculture is the basis OF country's wealth
and prosperity, and each additional person who
turns his attention TO the cultivation OF the
soil contributes TO the further development OF
The country and TO the growth OF Its material
wealth. The agriculturists are being steadily
increased In number by immigrants, most OF
Whom come TO this country for the purpose OF
tilling the SOIL Every succeeding year marks
an increase OF acreage put under cultivation
and IL requires no prophet to foretell that the
census OF 1890 Will show much greater al
vance IN The productions OF this country than "a
contained in the statistics just published py the
census bureau.

Gen. Grant FOrxets.

The New York Post has the following edi-
torial, presumably by Carl Schurz, who was In
position to be well informed upon the matter
General Grants memory seems to be
strangely at fault. In a recent interview az
Chicago he said; When l was acting as Presi-
Dent, II a single Senator from any state objected
TO an appointment it was not made, although
some Cabinet officer might have favored it Ii
Is WeIl-known fact that the opposition OF be. b
senators from Massachusetts and the Vice Pres
t5ent did not prevent him from appointing Sim
mons collector OF customs at Boston. or the
whole Congressional delegation only Cen But
Ter favored the appointment. But there was
anotner case OF still greater significance In
the first year Of Gen. Grants first administra-
ton II was rumOred that he INTENDED TO remove
ole OF the supervisors OF internal revenue and
10 put man Of bad reputation In his place. Both
senators from the respective state protested
against the change; large majority OF the
congressional delegation did the same the
Cnamoer or Commerce and large number OF
merchants OF the principal city In that state ala
the same; the Secretary OF the Treasury, on ac-
count OF the bad character OF the man. was re-
luetant TO make the appointment, but against
all these protests President Grant ordered the
appointment TO be made. Ii was that of John
Mcdonald. who soon afuerward became the Chief
OF the notorious whisky rings In the west
