WASHINGTON. JAN 13, 1886.
THE GENERAL WELFARE.

The Scheme for establishing n M
iional University at Washington finds
favor, theoretically at least, in some
quarters where the educational scheme
of Senator Blair finds only disfavor.
In the latter case constitutional OBJ
lection is raised; in the former, moth.
ing more than doubts are suggested rs
10 the necessity, or praclicabillty or
success of the institution proposed.
But if it he taken for granted that
The University scheme is constitutional,
why not the other!
II has been asserted time and again,
and probably will be time and again
this winter that it is stretching the
general welfare clause of the Constitu.
ton beyond all reason to provide for
The appropriation of moneys from the
public treasury to help educate the
illitcrate youth of the several States.
Why not rule out the proposition to
establish National University on the
same ground? Or rather, why should
either one be ruled out on an objection
of this character?
If the Government sees tit in the cx-
orcise of its constitutional power to
promote the general welfare by hold
ing out to the young men and women
of the country inducements to come to
Washington and avail themselves of
free tuition in the higher branches of
knowledge at an institution surprising
all others in the completeness Of its
equipments and comprehensiveness Of
its curriculum, we should like to know
under what opposite construction of
the general welfare clause 1t can be in
hibited from reaching out into the
highways and byways and gathering
into the District schools-those hum
bier colleges of the people-the
thousands, aye, tens and hundreds of
thousands of children now cropping in
The darkness of adverse fortune. not Of
their own, but of the Governments
creation, that they too may taste of the
fountains of knowledge and be started
upon the road TO higher and more in.
telligent citizenship?
Much more, indeed, if the truth be
spoken, does the general welfare clause
apply in this case than in the other, for
the university, while representing Il
laudablc and lofty aspiration, is some
thing the country can very well sc,
along without; the education of the IL
literate, who must otherwise grow up
10 manhood and womanhood, in rags
and nakedncss of mind, as it were,
represents mighty and momcntous
truth, affecting the interests of millions
and even involving the very founda-
tions Of social order in large and popu-
lous communities.
Much as we believe in the rights of
States as opposed TO the paternal au-
ihority of the general Government,
there are certain great evils requiring
correction, certain great reforms re,
-nuiring legislation, certain great wrongs
TO be rightcd, with which the States
themselvc are unable and incompetent
TO deal successfully. 1t is on occasions
and in emergencies like these, where
not Alabama alone, nor Mississippi
alone, nor any other single State is con-
cened, but this whole grand common.
wealth of ours, that the help of Con-
gress and the public Treasury can prop
erly be called upon in behalf of the
general welfare.

ONE project in regard TO the Civil
Service law is said to be received with
considerable favor among Members
VI Congress. 1t is that there be
u modification of that statute so
rs TO require an examination of
all who were in office when the
present law went into operation and
who are still in the Government en-
ploy. The principal argument in IA
vor of the proposed modification is
that which was used when the Civil
Service law was under consideration
before its enactment, which was in cf-
feet that it was not exactly fair to re.
quire those entering the service under
the reform system to pass an eXamina-
lion while those who were appointed
under the so called spoils system re-
mained in and were pretty well pro.
tected in their tenure. 1t is we'll
known fact that a good many of the
latter class could be dispensed with to
the good of the public service, The
Democrat cannot see the exact justice
of system by which he must pass the
ordeal of an examination while his
Republican brother stays in without
having to undergo the same eXamina-
tion But there are good many things
about the present system, the exact
justice of which, no Democrat can
comprehend.
