FREE SHIPS.

Captain Goldman, a gentleman who
has studied the subject as thoroughly
as any man in the country SAID to a
Herald reporter on the passage Of Mr.
Cox's partial free ship amendment
s'This is the first thing in the right di-
rection that has yet been accomplished
in the house. l do not anticipate that
the concession will have much effect on
the immediate restoration of carry
ing trade, but it will give it an i'm
pulse. Mr.. Corbin stands ready with
SIC, 0O0, 900 subscribed to establish his
line under the American nag. The
Guion line, largely owned by Ameri-
cans, will be likely to hoist our nation
al ensign. Thus dozen Or more fine
steamships will be at the service Of the
government if they should be required.
American passengers will patronize
these lines, and they will be successful.
When it is proven that Americans can
sail ships if they are allowed to own
them on the same terms with foreign
ers, al they will be able to do if this
bill becomes a law, free ships will be
demanded for all. While this result is
mainly due to the championship of Mr..
Cox, no little credit belongs to his
young colleague, Mr.. Adams, who ably
advocated the humane measures of the
bill and succeeded in having the re-
medal benefit of the abolition of the
hospital tax extended to the coastwise
trade"
The Chicago Inter- ocean some weeks
ago printed an article entitled, "Fnrious
Lying about the Tariff" which has
more "furious lying" to the square inch
than anything we have seen for a long
time. As it rings the changes on
s'lying," %'tiies," ''false-
hood" &C., it seems to be q very popu-
lar article with its party contemporaries
One excerpt from it is enough to in
dictate its reasoning. It says:-"There
is just as much tax on every pound OF
beefsteak or sausage or lard or butter
as ON lumber or carpets or shoes or
furniture or salt" The 10. evidently
banks a good deal ON the credulity of
its readers.
While at jefferson City, a few days
ago, on official business, Mr.. F. K.
Tut was introduced by Congressman
Graves to Hon. Wood Easley, attorney
If the H. T. st. Joseph r. R., part of
The c., B. & @. r. R. system. MI.
informed him that the c., B.
& Q. would almost certainly build its
.oad from Bogard to Lexington, and
hat that would insure the building of
bridge here. MI. Graves confirmed
his view by the that persons
the road had but a few
before been in Washington City
into the status of the bridge
Mr.. Easley's idea, rs we
understand it, is that the road wants a
Texas connection more than it does
ccess to Kansas City, which 1t al
eady has.

to ''tle crime Of some OF our members Of
Congress in opposing theBlair educational

But this liberal Democrat goes further
and says OF the Representative from his
district that he "would abolish our public
school system altogether, taking the posi-
ton that education should not be paid for
by the public, but by the parents Of the
children. This would eiIectually stop ut
