There is talk of closing the Owens
boro Public Schools ON account Of the
recent decision OF the Federal court
at Paducah sustaining the right Of
the colored children to share the com
mon school fund equally with the
white children. If this fund is to be
divided the schools will have to sus-
pend for lack of means to carry them
on, and the Messenger says they can
not begin again until the Legislature
meets and grants the schools new
charter.

The Republican Folly i'm Iowa.

IoNtt TtSS
Iowa is an isolated rural community,
peopled largely from New England, and
inheriting the characteristics of its Puri-
tan paternity. 1t is without cities of
any consequence, to perform the Office
by which cities, i'll compensation for the
evils they e%ngender, render such enor-
mons benefits to humanity and c%iviliza-
ton, by bringing large masses of men,
with their infinite diversities of ideas
and manners, into contact with each 9TH
er, and with the highly organized, com
pick, many-sided life which results
therefrom and enlarging their intelli-
gene, their s%ympathies and their chart
ties. Great cities are not simply
great centers of material commerce.,
but great exchanges of ideas.
They are the most potent educators and
civilizers of the race. Dealing with the
in all its multifarious aspects, they un-
derstand the difficulties of the problem
and the social compromises necessary to
deal with evils which can be regulated,
but not eradicated, They the %cosmopoli-
tan habit of large and catholic tolerance
for the opinions, tastes, and even the vi
ces of their neighbors. But in Iowa
there are no great cities to counterfeit and
correct the narrow provincialism which is
characteristic of an c%xclusi vely rural OF vii
lage population. The conditinos of
rural life are such that the
good people who are not exclusively occu-
pied i'll the contemplation of their own
virtues have plenty of time to pry into
the affairs and regulate the manners and
morals of their neighbors. When these
good people have determined precisely
what course of conduct would be most
agreeable to them, and what in their
judgment would, if universally practiced,
be most conducive to the public welfare,
they have not the slightest doubt hat it
is their duty, AZ good citizens, to compel
their neighbors to conform to the rule of
action they have thus adopted for them
selves.
Ii is, therefore, easy tn understand the
strength, the intensity and the intolerance
of the prohibition sentiment in u State so
pre~dominently rural as Iowa, with a pop
~ulation SO largely of New England origin.
In a state where there was a greater di-
versity of social life, resulting from the
influence of great manufacturing and
commercial %centers, the proposition put
into the constitution an arbitrary provis-
ionl code of morality in conflict with the
usages and opinions of the civilized world
since the dawn ofhistory-a and in heface,
too, of the universal experience of its inn
practicability would have been tram
Piled under foot as a ty%rannical at
tempt To interfere with the primary
right of the citizen. No other western
State offers so promising n field for the
rash experiment as Iowa. 1t is doubtful,
perhaps, whether, even in Iowa, which
has counted its Republican majoritios by
the tens of thousands, the party which has
now squarely accepted ..as its own the
most extreme form of the prohibition
fanaticism viii not sink under the tre-
mendous load it has undertaken to carry

THE practical operation of the new
tariff and tax law began on Monday. No
stamp will hereafter be required on bank
checks, drafts, orders and vouchers. and
no internal tax will be levied on match
es. perfumery and medicines. The on
ly taxes remaining in force are those on
spirits. malt liquors and tobacco in its
varions forms, and on the dealers and
manufacturers of those articles. The
rate of the new tariff law will hereafter
govern in the collection of duties. As
they have been four months in mticipa-
ton, the proposed change Of interest
from one rate of duties to another, ex-
cites very little interest among the
general public. The changes, taking the
bill as a whole, are not very great, and
the present dullness of the American
market and the low prices which prevail,
will prevent the reductions from having
the effect on our manufactures that 9th.
erwise might be expected.

THE PoST OFFICE SCANDAL.

THOMAS +. HALL has published a card
denying the charge that he has been
dividing his salary during his incumben-
cy of the post office, and Senator Saun-
ders requests us to place on record his
denial of any knowledge of such a trans
action. We cheerfully give both gentle
men the benefit of the correction, but
this is rather a late day to refute a
charge that has been current in the city
for three years. More than two years
ago the editor of this paper called the
attention of Senator Saunders to the
reports which were floating about Omaha
in regard to this matter and urged him to
deny them. The senator did not see tit
to do so, and when Halls first term eX-
pircd Senator Saunders was told that his
re-appointment would only rc-aiirm the
popular belief. Since hat time evidence
has accumulated that there was fire be-
hind the smoke of the numerous scandals
which have enveloped the Omaha post
office, and in spite of which Hall has
been able to retain his office and snap his
fingers in the face of his accusers.
If at the eleventh hour it should be
stated that Tom Hall has not been pay
ing blood money, in spite of his repeated
assertions to that effect, he will stand III
scarcely a worse position before the pub
lie than if the charge were true. The
rumor originated from the Omaha post
Office, it was spread by the postmaster
himself, and the public must now judge
which is the truth-his indignant denial,
or his repeated assertions that he was di-
viding with his superiors. Both cannot
be true, and in either case Mr.. Hall
stands in a very unenviable position.
But aside from the question of salary,
all who are acquainted with the manage
ment of the Omaha post-oftice are urging
the prompt removal of Hall from the po-
sition which he has disgraced. chronic
absentee, unable to maintain discipline
among his subordinates, the public have
suffered for over four years from the in
competency of the postmaster and the
shameful mismanagement of the %institu-
ton. Every principle of civil service re-
form has been violated in Halls retention
and Senator Henderson will signally fail
in his duty if he neglects to secure a
prompt change in the postmastership.

JOHN Roach has fecured all the con-
tracts for the new cruisers. All the 9th.
or ship building firms were frightened
out OF competition. MI. Roach has been
notably successful in securing the favor
ing leniency of the government, where
other contractors we're held to a rigid
obedience to the specifications they had
obliged themselves TO fulfil. If Mr.. Roach
mas any reason to count on such fayora-
bic treatment in the execution of the
hewcontracts, there need be no surprise
that he is willing to undertake what
other builders dare not attempt. One
possibility of the future, however, he may
not estimate at its full value, and that is
that the bulk Of the work may have TO
be lone under an u~nfriendly a~dministra-
ton OF the national government. The
incoming of a democratic president on
March 4, 1885, may enforce such a faith,
fui performance Of his contracts as Ia
make him understand what it is TO be
without a partial friend at court.

THE sJTUA7yON IN OHIO.

Murat Halsted, who is perhaps as well
Informed about political affairs in the
Buckeye state us any other man, makes
the following dispassionate estimate of
the political outlook in Ohio:
All attempts to estimate majorities in
the coming Ohio elections are absurd, and
distinguished statesmen who affect to
know how the election will 90, go far as
to fix up the majority one way or the
other, simply advertise the conceit of ig-
norance There are many elements in
the problem which have not influenced
the vote heretofore, and these, added to
the general uncertainty of an Ohio cleo
ton of late years, make any attempt at
guessing absurd.
1t is possible, perhaps, to say what
the outlook is, but beyond this the most
sagacious man in the State, and the best
posted politically, cannot safely so. The
campaign has not fairly opened; the far
mers are busy in their fields; no public
expression at all significant has been
made; the preliminaries of the canvass
have not been fully determined.
There is on thing that can be said: The
Scott law is steadily growing in public fa-
vor as a practical, business-like and not
oppressive measure. The Republicans
are united in its support. Indeed, the
policy of the party is clear upon local and
national issues, and there is a unity and
harmony of feeling in support of the
candidates and platform which has not
been seen III Ohio since 1880.
The Democracy are not at present SO
united in feeling and purpose, and are
conscious of entering upon n canvass
without either positive principles OF az
g~ressive policy. A very sore feeling ex-
lists, and n disposition to kick in the
traces. But this is not to be counted
upon. When election day comes around
the force of habit and discipline will
assert itself, and they will generally vote
the ticket, though it go much against
their grain.
Altogether the prospect just now is fav-
orable to the Republicans, but we have
yet to see what changes the canvass may
bring about. The Democrats are, this
time, well supplied with money, and pro-
pose to use it where it will do the most
good, upon the presumption that the
mass of the voters are vepal. 1t was on
that presumption that the Bookwalter
campaign was conducted, but with n re-
suit not highly satisfactory to those who
put up their money. A repetition of
that experience may convince them that
it requires something more than money
to influence the ballot of the average
| Ohio voter.
