In several states of the Union laws
have been passed prohibiting the Ii
censing of liquor saloons within a
given distance Of a school-house or a
church. In country towns the dis
tance is fixed haif-mile or mere
away; in cities specified number of
feet away from a human dwelling. 1t
has always been the imperative rule to
fix the location Of pest houses for
smallpox and other infectious dis
eases quite a distance from the habita-
tion of families. One would think sa-
loon-keepers would be dissatisfied with
a law which puts their places OF bust.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The educational bill which has been
thoroughly discussed, known as Sena-
tor Blaine's bill, passed the Senate on
Monday last by vote of SO to H.
The bill appropriates $77,Ooo,oOo for
the support of common schools, to be
distributed among the different states
on the basis of illiteracy, as shown by
the United States census OF 1880.
Eight millions to be used the first year,
ten millions the second, fifteen mil
lions the third and after that the sum
to diminish each year by the amount
of two million Of dollars. No more
important bill than this has been be-
fore Congress for years. 1t might
well have been entitled a bill to pro-
tect the life and secure the perpetulty
of the Republic. What the fate of the
bill will be in the House cannot be
fOretold.

SET BACK OF THE WOOL TAR
TEE

A motion made in the House OF
Representatives on Monday last to
suspend the rules to take up the bill to
restore the tariff on wool as it stood in
1867 was defeated by vote of 10 for
to 1876 against. 1t requires two-thirds
vote to suspend.the rules to take up a
bill. Such vote is not always a test
vote, so that the disposition of the
measure for the restoration of the
wool tariff is not finality; but the
prospect for it's passage is not promis-
ing. The free trade Democrats in
Congress care little for the hundreds
of thousands of farmers who have
petitioned for an increase of the tariff
on wool. This matter will be referred
to at another time.

About 1000 murders were committed
in the United States in 1888, and only
about 100 murderers were legally hang
ed, while more than 100 were lynched.
These three little facts go long way
in explaining out breaks of mob VIC
lence like that which is now terror
izing Cincinnati. The moral Of it al
is that the mob, in nine cases out OF
ten, is an unconscious demand for bet
ter laws and surer justice.
