together, and RENTED the whole work 10
tie Government at Washington. In other
words, the burden Of defraying the educa-
ton of American citizens, once temporarily
assumed on plausible p~retexts by the
Federal Treasury, could never have been
shaken of.
But this, though the most obvious, isby
no means the gravest objection to the bill.
Under the pretence of relieving certain
States from the duty of self-improyement,
it levelled q deadly blow at the hight OF
selc-goyernment. By the believers in State
autonomy and in the imperative necessity
of ~upholdibg the safeguards against CEN
~tralization furnished by the Constitution,
il was foreseen that the lavish donations
proffered by the Blair measure would prove
q fatal solvent of their native jndepenc-
ence. TIE Federal Government, having
beheld IFS gifts sccepted, would before
long insist upon administering its gratuity
fund, and States which had learned to
count upon its bounty, would not have
ventured to repel their slmoner. Once
accustomed to zee Federal Postmasters
and Federal Internal Revenue Commits
sioneIs vigorously enforced by Federal
schoolmasters in every school district, those
States would be prone to tolerate larger
and more mischieyous encroachment on
their birthright Of self-rule. Of the bull
warks Of freedom, erected by the fathers,
n after another would crumble away,
and although, as in the case of France,
our country might still keep the name and
shell of a republic, its essence, the vivify-
ing habit of local self-help and self-regula-
ton, would be forever lost. 1t was this
radical, unanswerable objection to the
Blair measure that Senator Harris, of Ten
nessee, had in his mind when he proposed
TO amend the bill by making its title "a
bill offering brides to the several States to
relinquish the functions Of selEgoyern-
ment."
The House of Representatives, which re-
fleets the latest, most direct and frequent
expression of the peoples will, has already
shown itself alive TO the psrils lurking
under the smooth surface Of the Blair Edu-
cational bill. Its members will not show
themselves less faithful to their duty, o
that even in the Senate, which had twice
been committed to the measure, the
former majority has shrunk almost out of
sight.

WOOL IN BETTER DEMAND

At Last Weeks Quotations Prices and
Sales at Boston The Foreign Markets.
NEW YORK, February 1I.-Bradstreets
will say tomorrow:
A fair amount of business is doing in the
Eastern wool markets on the basis Of last
weeks quotations. There seems to be
rather more activity at Boston and Phila-
delphia than at New York. The anu
facturers are taking contracts freely for
heavyweight goods at last years values
or lower, and no longer hesitate to buy
material for use during the spring. A
month ago they ssked for concessions, now
they are ready TO take supplies at quota
tions when they find what suits them.
Apart from this the situation is unchanged.
Prices at the London sales declined the
first OF the week, and the result was a re-
viyal of demand and o steadying Of the
market. Competitionis moderately active,
with a large proportion Of the purchases
going to the Continent. American buyers
are doing but little.
Prices are strong at Boston and the mar
ket is fairly active. Buyers have taken
sample lots freely, and are laying in sup
plies for future needs to a considerable ex-

What the Hon. A. W. woodford' OF
Weston, Says.
WESTON, ". VA February 16, 1883.
Jas B. Taaey, Esq Wheeliag, ". ia:
DEAR SIR:-In answer to your request
OF the 9Th inst / would say the action Of
the Chamber of Commerce, calling a con-
vention of interested citizens Of this State
to convene in convention at the city OF
wheeling ON February 29tb, / heartily ap-
prove, and feel it il the right step to bring
West Virginia to the front, in showiDgt to
the world its vast resources, its hidden
wealth undeveloped. We need more rail-
roads, more manufactures, more capital,
and more system in or agricultural pur-
suits. We have as good grazing and stock
country as is in the world, while West
Virginia produces as good cattle, sheep and
horses, and a. many Of them as
any other State according to its develop
ment. There is no other country can
offer greater Inducements for that claes OF
citizens than West West Virginia, both in
improved and u~nimProyed lands for
grazing purposes.
We have a coming Centennial EXPOSE
tion OF the Ohio Valley and central States
TO be held in Cincinnati, to open on the
Fourth Of July next, 1883, and to con-
tinue one hundred days, which West Yir-
ginia is included as one Of the Ohio Valley
border States, and think n of the OBJ
jects of the meeting should be to look after
the interests of West Virginia in making
a good exhibit from this State to said ex-
position, that our u and facilities
may come in competition with other
States. So boom the State.
Most Respectfully,
A. W. WooDFoRD.

The Blair Premium on nit eracy.
A.. ~ 60

W.
The intelligent and truly patriotic mem
bers of the community will be Iejoiced to
hear that the specious and seductive, but
dangerous, measure known as the Blair
Educational bill has at last been virtually
killed in the United States Senate, where
alone from the outset it has had a prospect
of ultimate success. This bill, it will be
remembered, distributes nearly $780,
900, 900 from the Federal Treasury among
the several States, not according to popu-
lation, nor in the ratio of the money ex-
pended by the States themselves for school
nut in proportion to the rank
ness OF their educational shortcomings
that is to say, the more persons over ten
years of age in a given State who might be
unable to write their names, the better
would be the claim of that State to saddle
its burdens on the rest of the Union. This
~disgraeeful proposition, we repeat, Is prac-
tically dead, for, if it could not pass the
House of Representatives in 1884, and
1886, when it obtained majorities Of ~ and
% in the Senate, it can expect no better
fate this session, when the majority of its
in the upper House has been cut
down to 10.
Had this bill become a law, the fact that
it offers a premium for illiteracy mightnot
have been promptly recognized in the large
or s~elf-respecting States which justly
pride themselves on the efficiency Of their
efforts for the education of their citi-
zens. But those States whose educational
arrangements are glsringly defective, would
be powerfully tempted to relax still fur
ther their endeavors to qualify their voters
to exercise the suffrage, knowing that the
less they did to help themselves the smpler
would be their share Of the appropriation
from the Federal e~xchequer. The result
would probably have been that before the
close of the term during which the bill
professedly was to be operative, certain
States which have hsbituslly neglected to
make adequate provision for primary in
struction would have shirked the duty al

DOWN WITH THE TRUSTS.

The House Committee on Manufactures,
at Washington, is preparing for an inVes-
tigstion of the subject of trusts, on which
it is reported that much information has
already been received by letters in re-
Spouse to the general invitation issued
through the press. The committee in
tends to hold all such communications
confidential, to serve as suggestions for
the direction Of the formal inquiry. There
are also several propositions for laws LOOK
ing to the regulation Of trusts and the pro-
lection Of the public against the operation
Of these combinations against trade, among
them the draft of a bill by Congressman
RAYNER OF Maryland. The Jurisdiction
of Congress in this matter is based upon
the constitutional provision for the regu-
lation of m between the States,
which, it is claimed, concerns not only
the transportation of merchandise, but
the prevention of combinations Of indiyid-
uals or corporations from t~rammelling its
sale, and the promotion Of unrestricted
competition. Mr.. RAYNER urged his bill
upon the committee on this ground, and
with strong representations OF the press
ing need Of immediate action.
As to the necessity of checking the alb
normal and threatening growth of these
combinations, there is no question among
disinterested men. The available method
of securing protection may appear through
the Investigations Of the committee of
Congress which DOW has the subject in
hand. But this promises TO q long quest,
and will, OF course, be DISTRACTED in the
usual manner by the large interests
ready at hand, for attacking the
trust ~EonOpOlies without awaiting
the indefinite result of the inquiry in
stituted in Congress. Where the trusts
are local in their formOtion and their
operation, it is evident that the better
way is to be found in using the restraint
oflocal laws. This is the course which
has been taken by the people of Chicago,
who have at last rebelled against the gas
trust which seized the manufacture in
that city under promise Of emancipation,
and promptly instituted a system of ex-
tOrtiOu. The Chicago gas trust is to be
proceeded against by the encouragement
Of Illinois, at the request of the Citizens
Association of Chicago, for an abuse of its
powers which i3 held to work a forfeiture
Of its franchise under the laws of the
State.
The case Of the Chicago gas trust is per-
hsPs exceptional, in that it Is not a volun-
tary association, but itself an Incorporated
company. 1t can therefore be more read
lily dealt with than trusts of the usual
form, which have no individual existence.
The latter, among which the sugar trust.
the rubber trust and others have r~ecently
come into unfayorsbls notice, may per-
haps be reached through the separate
corporations by whose agreement thew are
formed, for no more grossly improper use
Ola franchise granted by the people can be
imagined than its use to Cypress the peo-
pie through the exaetion of excessive tri-
butte.
