NATIONAL AID TO EDUCATION.

The idea of national aid to pop
ular education is gaining ground
throughout the country, and one of
these days the experiment will be
tried. The present Congress will be
asked to pass upon the proposition,
though there is Lot much prospect
that the scheme will 60 through. 1t
is as yet crude, and the subject is
one requiring thought and states
manship. 1t is matter that cam
not be trif1ed with or treated with
anything but intelligent considera-
tion, as it presents so many oppor-
tunities for fraud. The committee
appointed by the educational con-
vention that met in Louisville early
in the Autumn. has prepared bill
which it will memorialize Congress
to pass. Its principal features are
national aid on the basis Of State
illiteracy, each State distributing
the money on the basis Of county
illiteracy, taking precaution to prss
vent the use of the money
for the benefit of one
class or race to the injury
or loss of another. The bill pro.
Yides for extending aid for per-
iod of twelve years, graduating it
as follows; Four dollars per capita
Of illiterates-there are 100000

men made their demand when
type setting was at its height, and
the World, Star, Tribune, Morning
Journal and Truth all aece ded, hav-
i ing nothing else to do except to
miss the issue of the paper. The
increase asked was cents per
thousand ems-from 40 cents to 4s
cents. The Sun and the Herald
have long had the best compositors
in the city, and those papers have
paid 46 cents per thousand. The
printers union demands that the
other papers shall pay the same
price as the Sun and Herald,
whether the men are good
or bad. The Fo:ming Post as
serts that it will not yield,
declaring it will first temporarily
suspend publication. It has stood
by its resolution to the extent of
missing the issue of the semi-weekly
edition It promises to make good
whatever numbers it may find it
necessary to omit. The public
should, and, we believe, will, uphold
the Post in the determined stand
that it has taken. If the printers |
imagine they have conquered the
greas dailies of New York. they are
deceiving themselves. 1t will only
be few days before the papers will
get themselves into position to
defy the union, and it would not be
surprising if the journals were to
enter into combination to employ
no union printers. Tais action
would be just and proper. The
printers were being well paid for
their work. That they should ex-
tort more because better compost
tors were receiving more was alb
'urd. The union, in taking advan-
age of the situation to demand
nore than was right, alienated the
public sympathy which follows the
he oppressed'working-man who is
round down by the capitalist.
The New York journals have it in
heir power to crush the printers
IniOn, and If they do not exercise
for their present and futsre pro-
ection, we will be mistaken.

ANOTHER CUT.

THE HERALD knew that it would
come, and endeavored to impress the
fact upon merchants and traders
We refer TO another freight cut
Yesterday it was announced to mer.
chants that until further notice the
rate between Missouri river points
and Salt Lake would be % cents per
hundred pounds without regard to
classification, or a drop of 80 per
cent. of the late extraordinarily low
rate. When the other cut came we
did all We could to restrain mer-
chants from losing their heads and
rushing in goods, as if their lives
and fortunes depended on pillng up
enormous quantities of merchandise
before the railroads should agree to
poel and put 10 prices. Despite
the caution many dealers seemed
to go mad, and the result is seen in
the general overlooking on the
part of small retail dealers. There
are more goods in Salt Lake to day
than at any time in the history of
the city, and these stocks were
brought in on dull and declining
market. Eastern dealers are not |
interested in the commercial situa-
ton out here, except to the extent |
Of getting pay for their merchan-
disc, and this they will expect to re-
ceive when the sixty or ninety days
paper that they hold becomes due.
tits nothing to them that there is no
sale for the goods which remain on
shelves and are stored in warehouses
If merchants have overstocked it is
their affair, and not that of their
eastern creditors. That all these.
goods will be sold in time to meet
the obligations of local merchants
is out of the question. Extensions
must be granted in some instances,
or there will certainly be wrecks. ,
We hope none of the latter will
occur.
To make matters worse the rail- {
roads have made another cut, and
some who are already overstocked i
nay think they will have to buy
more in order to make the average t
,ood,c to prevent others obtaining T
IN advantage of them. If former
'xtravagant purchases were unwise,
would be doubly foolish to "go in t
Igain," for this would only intensity r
! matter already bad enough. AS a
We have before shown, only a GER p
ain quantity will be consumed, no d
natter what the price, and all above d
hat amonnt must prove loss to the C
Iolders. s.
There is reason to be- E
ieve freight rates will be Il
ven lower than at present, before Il
be railroads adjust their differences p
nd enter into a pooling arrange. a
lent. Some who are in a position k
, Judge, express the belief that the D
ate will get down to 10 cents per t.
in which event the mer- o.
1ants that have gone wild over the a,
ats will want somebody to severely n
ick them for their thoughtless fl
aste. h

and q years-or SS,000.0Oo eacf
year for the first three years; three
dollars per capita, or $s,000,o00 8
year for the second three years two
dollars per capita, or $4,000 a
year for the next three years; and
one dollar per capita, or $4,000, ,0Oe
for each of the remaining three
years. This involves a total ex-
penditure of 100000, ,000-a very
small sum in one sense, and yet
iarge enough to be wasted should
failure follow the plan. The board
of trustees is to be composed of the
Secretary of the Interior, the Cons
missioner of Education, two Sena-
tors, not of the same political party,
to be appointed by the Presi-
dent of the Senate; two Re-
prepresentives, not of the same
political party, to be appointed
by the Speaker of the House,
and the fourth auditor of the trea
sury. There are two great dangers
in the scheme. One is that it will
be made political in its opera tions
and the other is that the States will
slacken their own educational efforts
in the scramble for more of the
government fund. Most of the
States have grand and generous
systems of education, much better
and broader than any it is possible
for the general government to devise
or carry into effect. If the proposed
scheme should interfere with these
in a way to destroy any of their
efficiency, it would be an evil in-
stead of benefit. There is another
objection to the national aid plan,
but it is one that most people " ould
overlook in view of the facts
The money, of course, would
'ome from the people, and as the
most enterprising and progressive
communities pay the larger share of
axes, and also haYe the best school {
5 stems, the negligent and shiftless
would get the larger proportion of t
he fund on account of their greater I
In other words, those who i
Tere already doing their duty in the t
natter of education, would also
ave to educate those who were not
rogressive. The much larger per- d
sntage of illiteracy is in the south, 6
mong the negroes, who are more g
le wards Of the north than of the il
eople with whom they reside. The Fl
orth would simply be educating c.
le people that it freed and placed ii
ito position to require education. b
1t is hoped that if a plan can be q
,vised for extending national aid tl
popular education, without open-jg jg'
g the doors to fraud and political q
Eruption, it will be adopted, and CT
led long enough to prove whether p'
will be an injury or benefit to d.
e country. The money is in the ci
and cannot be better ex- M
nded than in educating the people. st

months ago, but there has been some delay
for various causes, not entirely disconnected
from the visits OF Bishops Spaulding and

Rapids and Nashville are in the Cincinnati

tor Archbishop Elder, who is warm friend
OF Father RioTdsu. Il is no secret that Dr.

The II Honeymoon.

Last night he Jersey Lily made her sec
ond appearances before Memphis audience
that was even larger than the previous one.
The play was The Honeymoon. Mrs. Langtry's
plays are not what they might be; indeed,
the interest in them is not of the most in
tense description. The APPEAL ipclipes to
think that she would appear TO much
better advantage in light comedy parts
OF course she has not as yet become
naturaized TO the stage. She has not yet
secured com plete control OF her voice, and she
does not understand the art of reservipg
her powers aud working them up to a
climax. The Honeymoon is play which
savors of Ingomlar, katherine and Petraecio
and the story Of Martha. The main motive
of it is the desire of noble husband to test
his wife's love for him. Immediately after
his marriage, instead OF taking his wife TO a
ducal palace, her conducts her to an humble
country house. The disgust of the wife is
supreme, when she finds that instead of be-
ing grand lady, she is degraded inlo being
a sort of "kitchen mechanic" She rebels
and thwarts her husband in every way,
but her love for him proves SO
strong that she prefers living humbly
with him to going back 10 her father.
The beauty OF the English lady, her
vitality and her quick intelligence shone
to advantage last Dight. Her costumes were
unique, and they set of her person 10 the
fnest advantage. In the country dance
scene she caplivated everybody by her dash
and sprightliness A very hearty recall
brought her smiling before the curtain.
Her acting last night gave evidence
that, with proper training and ex-
perience, she may yet make clever actress.
Miss Kate Pattison, who is a very hand
some woman herself, was charming "Vo-
lante." She deserves far better parts than
she has received. Miss La Scelles was a
very winsome "Zsmors." OF the male
members of the cast, Mr.. Cooper acquitted
himself very finely as the "Duke," while
Mr.. J. G. Taylor WAS most laughable
Jacques" The remainder OF the company
deserve no mention. Mrs. Langtry's engage
ment was financial success.
