The blair RnI

Mr.. Bayard calls the Blair educational
bill naturalization run mad" He made
a very elaborate argument to show that
the bill is unconstitutional. Mr.. Bayard
is an honest and an able man, but there
are Democratic Senators who support the
bill who are much ADLER lawyers than he
is, and they support it not only because
they think it is a good bill, but also be-
cause they think that it is constitutional.
Mr.. Morgan thinks it is a measure so
magnificent in its proportions that it will
be better to defer action on it until the
people have been consulted. Have not
the people been consulted? Have they
not been discussing 1t for several years !?
In almost every Southern State there
is a strong sentiment IN favor
Of it. II the bill is put aside now the en-
tire ground that has been covered by
debate OF several weeks VIII have to be
gone over again at some future time
There is one gratifying thing connected
with it. 1t is that it is not a party meas
ure. 1t has enemies and friends in both
parties. Although introduced by a Re-
publican, it has strong opponents among
Republicans. It's most earnest friends
are Democrats. 1t is not imprphoII- 'i'ae
If tho ay,,,g,Iioana amend 1t TO suit
= Iu i's Ky ELECTORS on their side if NAV
pass. Mr.. Hoar has offered amendments
which, it is understood, were suggested
By the Republican caucus. Those amend
ments cut down the whole amount
to be appropriated from $10j,0OO,OOO to
ST, 900. This sum is TO be appropria-
ted in eight years as follows: The first
year $1,000, 900, the second $10,OOO.0O0, the
third SIS, 900, the fourth Sl3,OOO,OOO,
and each succeeding year $2,OO0,OOO less.
Mr.. Hoar's amendments also provide that
each State shall spend for educational
purposes each year an amount equal to
that received from the General Govern
ment. The proposition to reduce the total
amount is for the purpose, perhaps, of
satisfying those Republicans who claim
to be afraid that the South will use the
money for political purposes. There is
no reasonable ground for entertaining a
fear Of that kind. The school funds Of the
Southern States are applied conscientious
ly to the purpose for which they are in
tended, and if the funds are doubled by
Federal appropriations they viii be used
as scrupulOusly in aid of education as
they are now.

Mr.. RapdaIPs Prospects.

Pennsylvania Democrats are for Ran
dali for President. There is no doubt
about that. Fifty out of the sixty-seven
Chairmen Of Democratic county COM
mittees Of the State have declared their
preference for him. Has he any strength
worth considering IN any other Slater If
he has it has never manifested itself. The
trouble with Mr. Randa Il Is that he can
not see beyond the borders Of Pennsyl-
Vania. The aim of his whole public ca
reer has been to serve his State. He is
really an able man, and if he had de-
voted himself to national affairs as as
siduously as he has looked after the in
terests of his State he would probably
rank as high in the estimation Of the
nation as he does in that of his State. He
is Presidential candidate, but at present
not a strong one. If the Morrison bill is
defeated, however, his prospects will be
greatly improved. The defeat of that bill
will make him a very prominent figure
before the country, because its defeat will
be regarded as his work. The failure Of
the Morrison bill will make it impossible
for the party to take the position on the
tariff in its national platform that 1t took
in 1876 and 1880. But it will have to take
some position, because the tariff is the
only great issue before the country.
There are only two positions to take-a
tariff for protection and a tariff strictly
for revenue. There is no middle ground
If the Morrison bill is defea ted the DEM
0crats cannot say that they are in favor
of reducing the tariff. The Republicans
can make that claim with a much better
grace, because the President in his mes
sage, and the Secretary Of the Treasury
in his report to Congress, favored a re-
duction. The Democrats will be forced to
put tariff plank in their platform that
will mean protection. The small minority
faction will control the great majority,
and Mr. Randall, being the leader of the
minority, will be the chief Of the party.
II his policy wins his friends will say that
he ought to have the fruits of victory,
that is, the Presidential nomination. OF
course the party can't win on protec-
ton platform, but if that kind of plat
form should be adopted Mr.. Randall
would be entitled to the privilege Of lead
ing the party to defeat.

HE GAVE 1T UP.
MIR. Horr Gets Worsted in Joke Told
at Mr.. HoIman's Expense.

MIR. Horr Gets WOrsted in a Joke Told
at Mr.. HoIman's Expense.
Mr.. Holman to-day demonstrated to the
satisfaction of Mr.. Horr, the funny man
from Michigan, says Washington special
of the ID inst, that he has other strong
points besides his quality as an objector.
The House had under consideration the
Indian appropriation bill, and Mr.. Horn
was urging an increase in the salaries OF
certain Indian agents in Michigan from
$1,000 to $1,000 year. Mr.. Holman OPP
posed the amendment. Mr.. HOrr crossed
over and stood near Mr.. Holman while
the latter was speaking, and when he
concluded took up his song again for in
crease of pay.
He was reminded by Mr.. HoIman's atti-
tude on the question, he said, OF remark
attributed by New York paper to a dis
tinguished Indianian upon the receipt of
the news in 1880 that his State had gone
Republican, that he wouldn't have had it
to happen for % cents.
The reference was made directly to Mr..
Holman, and the remark was rather Often
sive in its scope. Nothing rutied, though,
and IN the kindest manner, Mr.. Holman
replied that the difference between that
distinguished Indianlan and the gentle
man from Michigan was, the former would
have paid the % cents out Of his own
pocket, while the latter was seeking to be
liberal with the governments money.
The House took a good laugh at Horr's
expense, and finally he himself joined in
it. 81 give it up" said he, and then
waddled back to his seat, and his amend
ment was lost.

Commenting on the Cincinnati riot Gov.
Hoadlv, Of Ohio, said: The root OF the
difficulty lies in the unwillingness OF re-
putable citizens to respond to the calls Of
public duty" There is truth In tnis.
Reputable citizens in cities will not Ter
form jury duty if they can POSSIBLY avoid
il, That they do succeed in avoiding it to
a very great extent is apparent to any one
who visits the court rooms Of any large
city in the country. The juries are largely
made up Of Eaen who have a very low idea
of the responsibilities which rest on them
as citizens. The consequence is that not
withstandizg the efforts Of prosecuting
attorneys and courts, criminals who have
money or influence succeed in escaping
punishment. A very large per cent.
Of business and professional men, in order
to evade jury duty, join fire and militia
companies, or other organizations whose
members enjoy the privilege Of exemp-
ton. Where the names Of jurors are
taken from the poll-bOoks many OF those
classed as reputable citizens do not regis
I ter. They give up their right to vote
rather than serve as jurors. The practice
Of rejecting, in important criminal cases,
those who have read accounts Of the
crimes in the newspapers about COM
/ pletes the work of relieving the jury box
/ Of intelligent and reputable citizens.
Those who shirk jury dlty, however, are
/ the ones who complain the loudest when
/ there is a miscarriage Of justice. They
! write communications to the newspapers
I criticising those who administer the laws,
and they ca1l public meetings to give
/ expression to their outraged feelings.
/ They never think Of blaming themselves
/ for the condition of affairs of yvhioh they
( complain, and they would be indignant
( if told they were responsible for the es-
( cape Of criminals and the prevalence Of
crime. Either some way must be found
to compel citizens to discharge their plain
duty or the jury system must be abolished
and the trial Of criminals be left wholly
to Judges. Juries in criminal cases are
becoming all the time less reliable and
less entitled to public confidence. The
fact that ex-Speaker Randall served as a
! juror a few weeks ago in Philadelphia
was commented on as something re mark
able. He would have been excused at
/ once If he had asked that favor. That be
made sacrifices to perform his duty as a
citizen is greatly to his credit. How few
of the merchants of Philadelphia or Gin
cinnati, however, serve as jurors, The
ways Of escape are numerous and the
! reputable citizens take advantage OF
them.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. April. G. 1884.

tbs RGEse1y Age says that it is already safe
to assert that there will be large amount Of
railway building IN the United States during
the present year. While the number Of great
trunk lines to be completed or commenced is
not likely to be large as in the past few
years, the demand for new and comparative
" short roads for local accommodation and
for extensions Of existing roads seems to be
as active as ever. The cost of construction
has decreased greatly in recent years. The
difference between the cost OF steel rails in
1868 and 1888 was S1l, 10 per mile, equivalent
to yearly difference in interest at per cent.
of 500 per mile each year. The saving in
railway construction last year over the aver
age price of 1865 was over S72.O00,000.

DRIED LIZARDS AS A MEDICINE.

A High Protective Tariff Prescribed on
Them by the Treasury Departments
In a letter to the Collector Of Customs
at San Francisco, says the Washington
Post, the Treasury Department makes
the important ruling that dried lizards
are dutiable at 20 per cent. ad yalorem.
They had formerly been admitted free as
non edible dried insects, but as their ul-
innate use is as medicine they are placed
under the schedule of medicinal prepare
tiOns. A large demand for a lizard Pc
culiar to China exists among the Celes-
tials in all parts Of the country, seriously
interfering, by their substitution for
regularly compounded cathartics, with
the sale of other and dutiable drugs. As
the variety of lizard used does not thrive
here the protection afforded in this de-
cisiOn is only a vicarious one, no infant
industry being thereby fostered.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS TIC
MEET.
Arrangements Made to Bring Them T,

Arrangements Made to Bring Them To-
gether in Baltimore.
The Baltimore American. on Friday,
printed the following: arrangements
are being completed for meeting of the
prominent leaders of the Democratic
party from all parts Of the country at the
Mount Vernon Hotel, in this city, the
latter part Of this month. Baltimore has
been selected as the place Of meeting be-
cause of its central location between the
North and South and its convenient dis
lance to Washington. The object of the
gathering is for the purpose Of bringing
about a reconciliation between the now
divided factions of the party upon
a number of very important mat
tiers concerning the coming Presi-
Dental campaign. Among those in
vited, all Of whom, no doubt, will be
present, are Samuel j. Tilden, the Hon.
Henry B. Payne, of Ohio; the Hon Samuel
J. Randall, Of Pennsylvania; the Hon.
John g. Carlisle, Abram s. Hewitt, ex-
United States Senator Mcdonald, of
Indiana; Senators Gibson, Of Louisiana;
Bayard, of Delaware; Voorhees,, of Indi-
ana; Vest, of Missouri; German, of Mary
land Camden, of West Virginia; Vance,
of North Carolina, and Lamar, of Mis-
sissippi; ex-senator John b. Gordon, of
Georgia; Henry w attersOn, of Kentucky;
Frank Hurd, Of Ohio; Congressman
Morrison, of Illinois, and Charles A.
Dana, of New York. Owing to the gravity
of the situation growing out of the failure
Of the caucus recently held in Washing
ton to settle the tariff question, and the
widely divided views of the party press,
the greatest efforts will be made to effect
an undivided platform. The meeting has
been arranged by a number of prominent
citizens of New York State and Pennsyl-
vania, and there Will be a banquet in
honor of the OCCASION

The Rartholdi Pedestal.

Probabably the most magnificent and
appropriate present made by citizen Of
one country to a portion OF the citizens Of
another during modern times is the coles
sal statue of Liberty Enlightening the
World presented to New York City by the
celebrated French sculptor, N. Bartholdi.
1t is to be regretted that New York fails
to properly appreciate this grand present
and to provide promptly for a proper
foundation on which to erect the statue.
The statue, now completed, consists Of
over a hundred pieces of copper, and it is
being boxed ready for shipment. Prepar-
ations for its reception have been little
more than begun, and New York, the
largest and wealthiest city on the conti-
nent, has virtually confessed its inability
to build the pedestal and erect the statue
on the site chosen for it.
1t would have been better for n. Bar
tholdi to have presented the statue to the
United States Government, or to the peO-
pie Of the United States, for in either case
there can be no doubt that there would
have been no delay in the preparations for
its reception and for placing itin position.
Probably not less than $500, 900 will be
required to complete the pedestal and
place the statue on it. OF this amount,
as has been heretofore stated, only $780,
900 has been subscribed. The efforts be-
I ing made by the committee having the
matter in charge to raise the balance OF
the required sum by popular subscriptions
/ promise to accomplish but little, and Con-
/ gress is being appealed to tor help.
/ The action or rather non-action Of New
/ York in this matter is not creditable to
/ her liberahty and patriotism. She has
/ prahahly a hundrad citizens either ono Of
( whom could donate the amount needed
and not miss the money. 1t is true that
/ the whole nation VIII be proud of the
/ statue, but it does not appear to be in
( good taste for New York to be beggar in
4 such a cause as this.
If the appeals Of the committee and the
chdings Of the city press cannot open
4 the pockets Of the misery nabobs OF
/ Gotham, let the committee send for the
celebrated church debt raisers, Kimbal
and Ives, and begin a revival meeting al
once. If all plans fail let New York confess
! its poverty and decline the GIFT.
There is little probability that any con
siderable sum can be obtained by private
subscriptions in the several States, anC
under the peculiar circumstances of the
/ case Congress can hardly take the re
responsibility of making an apprOpria
ton. The statue is given to New York
! 1t ise worthy Of grand foundation; New
York is able to build it, and New York
alone ought to do it.
