Hon. w. B. BATE delivered an
able speech III the senate of the
United States on March Goth IN OPP
position to the Blair bill. After
complimenting the present school
system of Tennessee and showing
the remarkable progress under IFS
operation, he proceeds to pay his
respects to the bill of the senator
from New Hampshire in The follow
ing well chosen remarks.
"Under this bill the great head of the
department of the interior will dispense
the finds under national laws. How long
will il be after that until this great dis
penser of these many millions will carry
the keys that unlock the doors of every
school house in the country? His girdle,
from which will swing these one hundred
thousand keys, will be as potent in poll
tics as the scepter of any crowned head.
Let us stop the leak at the start before the
hOodtide comes to sweep away the barriers
from local self government. Let the ma
ton once assume control of the education
of the children and il will hold on to it.
Who has the hardihood TO say it would
let go in these distempered times such vast
patronage? Ay, would it not be strength
ened at every step and utilized in polIti-
cal campaigns by partisan demagogues?
II passed, it will become engralted IN our
politics (iI is not now party question:
and be aquestion as to which candidate is
for the largest amount for a national
school fund. Thus insiduously gaining a
foot hold, il would find permanent lodg-
ment and could not be eradicated. This
would be followed by amendments, more
in detail more drastic even than this bill
regulating the character of school books
and the appointments of superintendent,
followed by removal of all legal and So
cial barries between races and colors. Ed
ucational channels are the most available
conduits through which to send false doc
trines and destructive political influences,
and when disseminated by national law
from great and powerful center, they
materalize all opposition and absorb the
lesser into the greater power. Hence,
Mr.. President, this bill in my opinion is
dangerous in tendency. 1t woos to de-
struction as a siren of Caprea. 1t leads
to centralism, Is a dagger behind the
smile, serpent coiled beneath the rose"

The morning and afternoon pa
pers.of Memphis each claim that the
reports of the flood given by them
are the most precise and compre-
hensive yet placed before the pub
lie, and every issue Is claimed TO
eclipse the former in point of fact
and detail. It's amusing for an
outsider to read the self bestowed
praises Of the Memphis press. They
have footed their own horn until 1t
has lost its harmony.

of buildings were hurled ID shape

Best THING He Ever Saw.

The following is an extract from
d letter written by Mr.. D. A. Rey-
nolds, editor and proprietor of the
Herald, Lyons, Mich, under the
date of January 18th, 1890: "You
will observe that have given your
Advertisement position on the first

INGALLS,, the copper-mouthed
Senator from Kansas, will have a
lhorny path to travel if he gets
back to the United States Senate.
The farmers of his state have met
and passed resolutions refusing to
support him or mem bers of the leg
lslature who favor his reelection.
Notwithstanding be has represented
his state eighteen years, his constit-
uents claim it is a difficult matter to
point out one single instance where
he has introduced or championed
any measure for the relief of the
farmers or labOring classes. He has
occupied his time in tanning the
flames OF hatred between the north
and south, and has never been
known to let an opportunity lass
unimproved to SANDER and injure
the southern people. The intelli-
gence of the country is disgusted
with his course and the quicker such
men are relegated to oblivion the
better for all concerned.

The omcers Eiected-Reports, Etc.
The regular monthly meeting of

dent 7. r. Walker in the chair
About twenty-five members were
present. Treasurer Southwick re-
ported receipts 1915 Sc; expendi-
lures S942 40; balance on hand So OF.
The reports from the secretary and
various committes were read and acss
cepted. Mr.. H. W. Peck from the
special committee on temperance re
ported as follows:
Your committee are not prepared
TO make full report on all the issues
involved in the temperance question
We have, however, decided to at once
present our report on the question of
a Home for inebriates.
We have obtained information
from two reliable sources that there
are about fifteen whites and twenty
Hawaiians who might be termed
dipsomaniacs-men and women who
have so long INDUCED this appetite
for drink that of themselves they are
utterly powerless to resist the temp
tation and have become so diseased
as to be placed in one of the classes
of mania There are several ways of
treating them. They may be left
burden upon the patience and charity
of the community until they drink
themselves TO death, or some plan to
save them may be adopted. After
consulting with a leading physician
of the town we recommend that the
Association do all in its power to
further the following, that:
(s.) A Home of inebriates be estab-
ished either separately or in connec-
ton with the insane asylum.
H. That law be passed whereby
such persons may be committed and
kept until the physician may think
il safe to allow them hberty-say
commit for one or two years, and the
physician have power to allow them
out on good behavior on condition
that they may be at once re committed
without fresh warrant in case of a
relapse.
(c.) This law TO affect only those
who are dipsomaniaes and not other
wise diseased.
Id This Institution to be sup
ported by the Government.
We recommend the formation of a
committee having for work-the
obtaining of the consent and sigma
lures of the merchants and all the
business houses to an agreement by
which their employees shall be paid
on Monday instead of Saturday.
Our reason is to avoid if possible
the Saturday night caroussl and
drunk.
We are not prepared to make
full report on the liquor traffic itself.
The reports of the Chief Justice,
customs officials, ETC., are being
made out and printed, and we will
be able to report at length at our
next monthly meeting.
The following officers were unani-
mously elected for the ensuing year:
President, Thos R. Walker; Vice
President, Geo. P. Castle: Record
ing Secretary, W. J. Forbes; Treas
urer. I. S. Southwick; Directors,
Henry Waterhouse and J. E. Bid
well.
Mr.. W. A. Bowen read report
from the committee on the coming
of Mr. Sayford the evangelist. He
will be here on the steamer May
10th.
Three new members were elected.
The meeting adjourned to meet
again next Thursday evening at
1870 o'clock in the hall, when the
usual public anniversary exercises
viii be held.
