of New York, wat elected chairman.
Alluding to the strike in
the west, he asserted. and
the assemblage warmly applauded
the assertion that Notwithstanding
the East st. Louis affair no more
blood would be shed in labor troubles
in America. A posse comitatus might
murder, but workingmen would not,
but instead of the bullet, working
men would settle their battles with
the ballot. Mr.. Fogg, a representa-
tive of general assembly, Knights of
Labor, said the workingmen were the
people, and intended to run the coun-
try. Jay Gould, W. n. Vanderbilt
and Tom Scott had taught them col
munism ,agrariarisn, socialism, ,orpani-
cation and defense, and by the Eter-
nal Living God they would profit
by that teaching. He summoned up
civilization OF the present day by de-
scribing men of America as Christian
lied, civilized, Harvard college edu-
Gated cannibals. Tonight Senator
VOORHEES, urged workingmen to or
ganize and promised to secure such
legislation as they desired. He was
followed by Representative Weaver,
of Iowa, who covered about the same
ground. Resolutions endorsing

Reform In Land Layxs.l

NEW YORK, April 19.-A special
from Washington to the Herald says:
There is u rumor that the president
has been making one of those careful
and laborious studies for which he Is
noted, of the public land question,
and that he bas became so thoroughly
convinced of the vastness of the mis-
use ofthe present land laws for land
grabbing by syndicates and corpora
tions and of the necessity of thor
ough reform, both in land laws and
land administration, that hes will
presently send a special message to
congress. urging its immediate ACTION
in the way of reform. The repeat OF
bad laws will help him in saving the
still remaining lands for homesteads

WASHINGTON, April 7.---Congressman
Chain, In an interview to-day with your
representative OF the educational bli,
said: 81 regard tho bill as political
educational monstroeity resulting from
an l;nholy alliance between the black hills
OF New Hampshire and the sunny cline o.
Kentucky. The hlll is designed TO take
ST7 .uO0,0 600 and distribute II according 70
inlteracy. AS matter OF fact there Is no
person In the South under twenty-one
years Of age who was a slave. Yet the
bill Is strongly urged ON the ground that
IL would educate the former slaves. No
body Of school age there ever wasa slave.
the bill Is clearly unconstitutional. One
object OF II Is to force oolored children
aud white children into the Rame schools.
This IL the direct effect Of the second sec
ton OF the bill. The states where white
and colored children are taught together
woule receive more money from the ma
\. tional government, and the inducement
would be to have mixed schools whore
both classes are taught together. The
money ID 20 be distributed per capita.
The tendency will therefore be 10 get the
money per capita The bin strikes at
Once recognize the federal jurisdiction
over education of children in the states
and that Jurisdiction viii always be
asserted and maintained The people
will depend Hye and more upon federal
education ~ the result win be the
abandonment of the local common school
system and the establishment OF a
national educational system maintained
from the United States treasury, rcgu.
lated by the United States congress and
managed by United States officials The
school.houses even cannot be furnished by
the government. The bill also gives the
secretary Of the Interior the power to de-
termlne prctically the kind OF books that
shall be used. 10 proposes for instance
10 give him the power to say that no
books shall be used that do not teach the
children OF the South that their fathers
were engaged in rebellion against the
| government and were traitors to their
country. II win require the Southern
states to raise more taxes II they wieh TO
receive the fun benefit OF the act and they
are heavily burdened with taxation now,
and 1t will mako 10 necessary for the
Southern states TO maintain their Increased
taxation as the appropriation from the
national government would be gradually
diminish. The bill makes the government
| OF the great commonwealth subordinate
TO pbe secretary OF the interior and gives
| tho secretary Of the Interior the power 10
! withhold the,school appropriation from a
state. II humilates the state. Il will
not come ont OF toe committee without
