that day, with the transportation service
to be rendered by the road as the chief, if
not the only means.
Secondly, the review considers the con-
tract between the Government and
the company, and demonstrates that
on the part Of the latter it has been
faithfully kept, while the Government
itself in equity cannot claim equal credit,
since it has ignored the clear intent of the
compact, that service, as has been said,
should provide the chief means of pay
ment and has by aiding parallel lines by
diverting traffic to rival roads, and by
other means, prevented the road from
serving it. The difficulties encountered
in constructing the road and its great cost
are considered at length, but cannot here
have more than reference. 1t Is chapter
Of such historic interest that we propose at
an early day to present it in full.
On the question of dividends paid
there IS elaborate treatment and an
exhibit Of financial statistics. A chap
ter devoted to the charge that traffic
has been diverted from aided to nom
aided lines gives fiat contradiction to the
allegation, and proceeds to establish the
truth Of the denial. Upon the subject of
influencing legislation there is frank treat
ment, and a great clearing away of the
suspicious and doubts that have been in
dustriously cultivated by designing dema-
gogues. The disastrous effects Of the
Thurman bill on the Indebtedness of the
company forms distinct chapter in
the review, and together with the
concluding one, treating Of the
Indebtedness Of the company to the Gov
eminent, can have no more than reference
now; they could very properly engage con
sideration in an Independent article The
pamphlet will be read by thoughtful men
with profound interest, and will serve to
greatly clear the atmosphere of debate
upon the question in hand, and hasten that
speedy and effective settlement between
the Government and the railroad company
which is so heartily desired by all.

deposited; that, Notwithstanding this non
recognition of completion and these new
exactions and the Withholding of granted
lands, the roads were further required to
pay in > per cent of their net earnings
from the date Of the laying Of the last
rail, and they complied, as they have when
ever a right of the Government has been
determined as requiring performance by
them-these ard many other equitable
features Of the case of the roads suggest
themselves as worthy of consideration by
the Federal Government. Such consider
alton viii not be inconsistent with the
speedy and final settlement of the issue
between the roads and the Government,
and which ought TO proceed upon the
principle that every dollar rightfully and
fairly due by the roads should be paid,
and that every just claim of the compa-
MES ought by the Federal Government to
be allowed.

EDUCATING AMERICANS.

The New York Commercial Adre1rtiss, in
considering the school question, which the
Blair bill has brought anew before the
public, comes to the sensible conclusion
that the free schools of America ought to
he viewed as means of educating American
citizens, and to be American citizens of the
best order It adds that this American
system Of ours is founded upon the idea of
individual liberty, individual responsible
ity and individual endeavor By the be-
nefeent operation of this individualism the
american people have become the hap
piest. most prosperous and most virtuous
people on earth. The American charac-
ter has grown great and noble because the
American man calls no one master 1t is
the primary function of the State to main
tain and perpetuate this system of indi-
vidualism We concur in the conclusion
of the AdrertiSsr, as we believe all lovers
of American institutions do also, that if
any teacher in the public schools is indoc-
trinated with socialism, or anything else
that tends to paralyze individual action

abridge individual liberty or diminish in
dividual responsibility, by giving men
masters to direct them, such teacher has
no rightful place in the public schools,
and should be elected at once. The Id
rertiser might 60 beyond the limit of ex-

of requiring affirmative showing that those
who apply as such school teachers are sim

ment, and attached Loyalty to the system
for which they are to be appointed to raise

The church trains children to its support :;
their spiritual character, so far as the
church can mold it, is fashioned to its pur-
pose. Shall it be said that the State must
not train up its citizens to its support :?
Must we trust the political education of
the child to its surroundings out of the
school? 1t Is fact that there are tens
OF thousands Of lads between Is and Il
years of age whose ideas of American in
situations are vague and general, and yet
they have passed through the grammar
grades. What we would contend for Wig
orously, if the schools were no. already over
loaded, would be systematic eaching in the
common schools of the fundamentals of
our political system. They are not diff
cult, not involved, are simple, living prin-
ciples, and capable of comprehension by
any pupil who has intelligence enough to
realize that as human being he has GER
tain natural rights; and to this teaching we
must come. SO, too there should be more
teaching than at present of the methods
by which the people rule, by which obi
cations are laid upon citizens, by which
rights are secured and civil society or
dered. In some States this s, to some
extent, obligatory in teaching; in others
it IS neglected, if not ignored. We Judge
the work by the probationary boys
leave the grammar grades grossly ignorant
of the matters relating to their future as
political units, upon the principles of
which they ought to be subjected to some
instruction in school.

SAYS the atlantic Monthly for February
"The results Of good intentions misap-
piled are proverbially identical with the
fruits of the Intentionally bad" This re-
mark IS made by the atlantic in applica-
ton to the fact that love of nature is be-
coming subject to artistic guidance; but the
truth is also true of all other things. Mis-
application, instruction in social, religi-
Gus or political life, results precisely as does
directly applied vicious energy. There is
altogether too much disposition to excuse
because the intention was good. More
stern severity with those who intend well.
and do Ill, will give US less of the latter
and more of the former, accompanied by
good results.

THE argument being advanced against
International copyright that America is in
need of cheap English literature, Professor
David Swing lunges at it with this sharp
pointed rapier: The reason for English
books ought to be passing away. This land
is no longer savage Wild The English
language is written and spoken on this side
of the sea with more than English propri-
ETY., and it should be confessed that Amer
lean thought is as good as American Ian
guage.' 1t is not true that the need for
English books is passing away The need
for good books produced in England or
anywhere else, will never pass away in
America. Beyond that expression, how
ever, and the patriotic enthusiasm of Dr.
Swing, what he says is in the spirit of
truth We produce books valuable to the
English reader, and there is no reason why
a reciprocal interchange by way of inter
national copyright, protecting authors
rights equally upon both sides the water,
should not exist. American literature has
place in the world of letters, and it
should not be put under COW by unfair con-
cessions to cheap English literature to the
defeat OF copyright defense of American
authors rights in their own production.

The Postal Department has arrived at a
conclusion that should have been reached
long ago, that it is wise to arm the postal
messengers. The frequency of train robber-
les, and the cruelty with which the robbers
have treated the messengers has brought
the department to this conclusion. Ex-
perience has proved that these employees
of the Government, if armed, will fight at
their posts. As rule they are a courage
Gus class of men. One of them, backed
by authority and supplied with plenty Of
good weapons, is able to do battle with a
half dozen men Of the highway. When it
becomes known to these cut-purses who
rob the mail-trains that the messengers
are armed and are encouraged to use their
weapons, the business of railway highway
men will become more preCarious, and be
engaged in less frequently. 1t is under
stood that several of the Western railroads
have resolved to supplement this action of
the Government by arming their train
men. If this is done the fellows who have
been accustomed to "stand-up" trains will
find their occupation gone. The express
messengers and conductor who, in Arizona
the other day, drove off a gang of free
boutcrs and killed two of them, did more
to insure the safety of the mails and pas
sengers than a guard of infantry along the
whole line of the road. 1t would not be
bad idea to offer rewards to trainmen
and messengers for every highwayman
they bring to justice or to grass, in this
way. Let it be understood that when
train is stopped at the muzzle of a shotgun
or two, the chances are that dozen rifles
will instantly open upon the assailing
party, and it will put an end to train
