The general Government has supe-

ter supplied with funds and at less in
convenience to the people than the
States. Its surplus revenues since
1866 have varied from 1877, 100000 to
$150,000000 annually They are not
liable to. be much reduced in the near
future. Kept in the vaults of the treas

lures, become the source of corruption
or lead to improvidence in legislation,
which is the parent OF prohigacy. To

Can we approve the policy OF enter
ing the States with Government as
sistance to arrest the spread of pleuro-
pneumonia or other contagious disease
in cattle or other live stock, while
withholding aid in removing the plague
of illiteracy ? Shall the Government
annually make large expenditures in
aid of the State quarantine laws or in
checking the spread of the pestilence
that walketh III darkness and the DIES
truction that wasteth Mt MONDAY" and
refuse assistance in correcting the
widespread and threatening evils of
illiteracy in the same localities? That
the authority and the policy which
prompt and sanction the expenditure
of public funds for the protection of
life and property, and for the relief of
suffering caused by flood or famine,
will extend to the relief of the existing
condition of illiteracy is too clear to
require elaboration in this presence.
The idea that such aid would cultivate
spirit OF independence on the part
of the States that would ultimately
prove hurtlul to the cause of education
is not worthy of serious consideration.
To allow frightful disease to run its
course, unchecked, for fear the help
less patent might become dependent
upon the physician who should attend
him or the remedy employed for his
relief, would not be more absurd.
