In a speech at the st. Louis Merchants
Exchange, Saturday, Senator Edmunds
said: Eve feel as deep an interest in the
navigation Of your great river as YOU do,
and we feel as deeply as you the need Of
eXertiOn by some power, whether by Leg
islature or Congress, to regulate trans
portatiOn corporations. But there must
be justice and fair dealing in such regu-
latiOn. We must do justice to those who
have placed their money and brains in
enterprises which have given US an easy
means Of communication, as well as our
selves. As long as these means Of COM
municatiOn are kept up, so long will the
unity and prosperity Of our great nation
keep up."

Mr.. Washington f. Conner, the bust
ness manager Of Mr.. Gould, said in a con-
versation with a reporter Of the EreRiag
Post: Mr.. Gould will retire from active
business when he begins his trip around
the world in his new yacht. After his re-
turn TO this country he will lead a private
life. His business is in such shape that
it can be closed up at any time in twenty
four hours. l cannot say definitely how
soon Mr.. Gould will begin his yachting
trip. He may possibly be delayed little
in getting away. but he will probably sail
some time in September or October. Mr..
Gould has not taken any active interest in
business for six or eight months, and this
announcement of his retirement is only
publication Of what many persons have
known for some time past. Mr.. George
J. Gould, who has had charge of the af-
fairs Of the office. and has been very sue
cessful. will succeed his father here in
business. Mr.. Gould is very busy to-day
arranging for trip through the South
west with Mr.. Russell sage and \. J.,

Educating the Blacks.

The following remarks Of the Louisville
COurfeT-JOuFndl voice the sentiment Of all
Southern citizens who calmly weigh the
importance of the problem of education
in this section, especially as it affects the
future of the lately enfranchised slaves,
with the qualification that Federal aid,
if rightly rendered, is not to be rejected:
"People in the South who are anxious
about the future of the negroes, who now
number six ard half millions, should
compose their minds and lend helping
hand to the work of educating the negro
children. The Northern and Southern
Methodist churches have about quarter
of q million negro members between them
in the South, and other churches are push
ing the work of founding schools and
bringing the negroes under good in
fiuences. There is not q Southern
State to-day in which firm fOun-
datiOn has not been laid for giving
the black population abundant edu-
cational facilities. This is the only
way TO meet the menace of illiteracy,
black or white. The Southern people
must be liberal in public education. To
wait for paternal subsidies from Washing
ton is a mistake. The Northern Method
ist Church has spent 5000, 600 since the
war in the South for educational and
church purposes, largely among the ne
grOes. TWENTY-FIVE fiOurishing cOlOred
colleges have been established, attended
BY $500 cOlOred students. and $500
churches have been built. The Southern
Methodists. with less means, are doing
prOpOrtiOnably large work. If one or two
churches can accomplish so much, surely
the people of the Southern states can
maXimiZe the common school facilities Of
the negroes without much difficulty"
The story comes from Washington that
a few days ago, when a $1,000 emplOye Of
the Senate died. Sergeant-at-Arms Bright
received an application for the vacancy.
Colonel Bright read the recommendation.
and said at once: VERY well, you can
have the place" The applicant was evil
IDENTIFY astonished, and asked: 'When
can / take hOld:" You can begin
today" began Colonel Bright; "but let
me explain the situation. You see, when
Mr.. It. John was buried it left his $1,000
place vacant. The next man under him,
a very capable one, receiving 5000, was
promoted. A laborer next below him at
S72O. stepped into the 5000 place, and a
man under him was then lifted little,
and so on through the whole list, until
the place really left vacant by the death
of Mr.. ST. John is place in the stable to
curry horses at 81 a day. You can have
that, and begin work at once" The APP
plicant withdrew. The above is highly
credible, with the exception of the con-
Guiding statement.
