Senator LogAn's bill providing for the
s..n.I application Of $50. 600, 0O0-whieh
Is about the revenue from whisky-to
the support Of free schools, attracts es-
pecial attention because Of its novelty.
and there is a certain Of justice
which will give the measure favor, for it
seems but fair that the revenue derived
from an article which causes 90 much evil
in the world as whisky should be devoted
10 the Improvement OF the condition Of
mankind. Let the curse Of drink be
made to contribute as much as possible
to the cure Of the degradation it causes.
One objection to Senator Logan's bill Is
likely to be that the 100000 whisky
tar should be devoted to the payment Of
the national debt, but the conviction thss
there has been too much haste in pay
ing the debt may break the force OF such
an objection. Some will urge that the
whisky tax should be greatly reduced,
but the majority Of the people will not
clamor for such q reduction in preference
to the devotion Of 500. 0OO,0 900 a year TO
educa; .9nal uses. Others viii declare
such an appropriation excessive, but Sen
ator Logan viii reply that it will greatly
reduce the amount Of direct taxation for
the support Of the schools. Senator
Blair Of New Hampshire has introduced
a bill providing for direct national aP-
preparations for education, the amount to
be sl5, 600, 600 for the first year and
diminish 100000 each year thereafter,
the appropriations to cease at the end OF
ten years. The fund would be admins
tered by the Secretary Of the Interior,
assisted by . commissioner from each
State, appropriating money Of its own
to the maintenance Of the schools. One
Of the objections to the measure is that
the money might fail to reach its proper
destination through the hands Of poll
ticians. The late Senator Burnside
wished to devote the proceeds Of the
sale Of the public lands to the establish.
ment of a national educational fund, but
Senator Blair's bill is thought likely &c
supersede that scheme. Il may be that
Senator Logan's bill may fail TO receive
general support, but the novelty Of his
proposition. that whisky be made to sup
port the public schools, is likely to give
such prominence that the enactment Of
some such measure as that OF Senator
Blair will be more easily accomplished
than would otherwise be possible. There
are 6.239. 95s illiserate people in the
United States, more than wo-thirds Of
them in IA States, and the use OF money
from the National Treasury to remove
this ignorance will be wise. II Senator
Logan fails 10 secure the enactment Of
his bill TO devote the $50. 000. 900 Of
whisky tax TO the maintenance Of the
public schools. he may yet have the sat
~isfaction OF knowing that he has made
whisky contribute something toward
education, as the success Of some Other
educational scheme may be seen to result
largely from the interest which his novel
proposition has excited on the subject.

It would seem from our dispatches,
says the Tribune, that the people Of the
Eastern States are growing somewhat
tired Of pclygamy in Utah. They are
beginning to feel evidently that there is
no good reason why the laws should not
be enforced a. well in Utah as in other
regions Of the Republic. Better still, .
elimmering Of the fact that unless the
country moves, Congress will never
move, appears to be dawning upon them.
At last the power is being invoked which
Congress will heed That body is deaf
TO the still small voice which the few
here are able to awaken, but when the
people Of the East by thousands and tens
OF thousands begin to thunder the ques.
ton into their ears, "Why do you per-
NIT the laws to be defsd year after year
in Utah I" they will understand that
something must be done. We trust that
the final decision will be to order q Com.
mission for Utah, and that men will be
appointed on that committee with for
tune enough to be above temptations;
with character enough TO be above aus
picion; with courage enough to do their
duty; with a sense Of justice so strong
that no malice or spite can enter into
their deliberations, and with ability
enough to use the power that will be
given them for the best interest of every
soul in Utah. II is but the talk of dema-
gogues 10 say that such an adjustment
would be wrong here. a taking away Of
the inherent rights of the people. 1t is
not possible to produce in America a
parallel case to the one presented here.
For 30 years Utah has been ruled by an
absolute despotism. The Cars Of Rus
sia have not been more absolute in power
than was Brigham Young while he lived,
than is John Taylor to-day. There is
not q resident here, Mormon or Gentle,
who does not know this to be true. 1t
IL folly then to talk about q Commission
being an injustice to this people. That
there il need of a radical change is ap-
parent enough. There are 40. 0 peo-
pie here. among the truest and best peo-
pie Of the Territory, who not only have
had no voice whatever in public affairs,
but who have been Disseminated against
in every possible way and who have
been permitted to live here at all only
through the power which the Governor
holds in his veto. and through the SOW.
ereignty which the few soldiers, the few
guns and the flag over Camp Douglas
represent. When congressman say a
Commission would be a depression, the
answer is, Utah itself is a depression.
The principles which govern everywhere
else under the flag are made sport of in
Utah. The other Territories are EN-.
bryo republics. Utah is fully equipped
despotism. In other Territories men
give joyful allegiance to their country;
in Utah the only real fealty Of the
masses il for a creed which is a perpet-
ual insult and defiance to free institu.
tons. Let US have the Commission.

AS FaR from PEACE As EyER.

New YORK Dec. 10-It is stated to-
night that the sub-c ommittee failed to
agree upon q plan for the termination of
the war and will so report to the commit
tee Monday, when the whole question will
be submitted to arbitration.
The Times this morning says: The com
mittee held two meetings in the afternoon
and from all accounts. the theme was the
same as in the conference. It is under
stood that the st. Paul intended extending
the eastern arm of the Chippewa Valley
road, up from Eau Claire, through the
very heart of the territory claimed by the
Omaha. No pledge C 1uld be secured from
the st. Paul representatives not to make
this extension, and the Chippewa Valley
proved the principal subject of discussion
all day.
President Porter was as resolute when
the meetings were over as before, and re-
peated that territorial rights could alone
be the basis of settlement
Vice President Hughitt said, at 10
O'Clock last night, that there were no new.
phases in the matter. and the situation was
unchanged.

that united action be taken to take off the

discussed informally. 1t appears that
some favored the plan, while others
thought the brewers should pay reduced
tax. No action was taken, but it was de
cided to send a delegation to attend the
st. Louis meeting TO consider the question
of raising the price of beer to compensate
fer the great advance in hops.
