THAT EDUCATIONAL aILL.

In the Senate, Tuesday, Coke strenu-
ously opposed the Educational bill ON
the grounds both Of uuconstitutionnIity
and xpediency, holding that under
the bill, Congress would acquire absolute
control OF ti.e State school system, which
could not fail to prove most perincious.
Warming to the subject. Mr. Coke said
that Tor his part he would be unworthy
to represent the State of Texas, were he
willing to barter the great right Of local
self-government for any amount of
money.
Senator Coke s views upon this ques-
tion are eminenuy correct, and we're il
not Tor the manifest tendency of Con-
gress for years past TO centralize and
usurp the legitimate powers Of the States,
1t might create surprise that such an
abominable and wholly unwarranted
scheme as proposed 10y this so-called
Educational bill, should have received
the slightest consideration. To begin
"ith' the legislation proposed by the bill
does not come within the vested powers
OF Congress, aud secondly. the duties it
Is iegitimately called upon to perform
are quite large enough for Congressional
eaiibre without breaking through the
constitutional fence in order to browse in
more extended fields, and becoming n
nuisance to its neighbOrs. When Con-
gress shall have properly discharged its
constitutional functions, it will have no
time to mcddIe with questions beyond its
! jurisdiction.

SOCIALISTS IN NEW YORK.

Ata large meeting of Socialists in New
York City, Saturday, the Chairman said
its object was to show the people of New
York that something must be done 10
prevent the possibility of such calAmities
~ the recent riots at Cincinnati. The
Socialistic Labor Party did not believe
in riots or violence in this country,
where the people, il they arc true to
themselves. have the government in their
own hands, and, Therefore, the power to
reform sbuses. A nIaL. ---,,..d King
made o.; address, in which he said tth
danger in large communities is not fro IN
Socialists, but from grasping monopolists
and from corrupt politicians and political
peelers.
A series Of resolutions were passed de-
claring that the Cincinnati riots were the
outcome OF the political corruption which
is extending to the courts and judiciary,
and that neither the Socialistic Labor
Party nor it's doctrines had anything to
do with producing the riots. just be-
fore the conclusion of the meeting there
were loud cries for Most. The Chair
man, J. Mcclure, replied that Herr Most
could not speak at that meeting, and he
would not be allowed upon the platform.
A tumult arising, the meeting was per-
emptorily adjourned.

The Senate resumed consideration Of
the Education bill. Pendleton opposed
its passage on constitutional grounds.
Beck said that the proper way to reach
the object sought was to reduce Govern
ment taxation. One Of the purposes OF
the bill was to permit the Republicans to
prevent the Democrats from reducing
taxation by pointing to this large appro-
priation. He thought this new affection
of the Republicans for the Southern
people was dangerous. Troy, after
withstanding ten-years' seige, fell
when the Greeks brought gifts. This
bill was the entering wedge to absolute
Federal domination in the South.
Beck then entered upon the tariff ques-
:ion, and said he was glad the Morrison
bill had forced both parties to declare
the issue. Republicans are in favor Of
| protection, the Democrats in favor of
tariff for revenue. II Congress would
enable the South to buy cotton machin-
cry, free of the tariff, the Southern
States could educate their own children.
