Mr.. Blair's rhetoric to the contrary, the
syidence tends to show that the States
where he deem d national aid TO education
most necessary, are getting along exceed
insly well without it-indeed are making
rapid strides in the direction Of more thor
OUCH and liberal education of youth. Thus
in the case of Texas. which has generally
been regarded as one of the backward
States in the matter of education, the record
shows remarkable progress In 1880 the
number of schools was $3.50; in 1888,
S,722; total amount expended for schools
in 1880, S69i,o4l in 1889. S2,77S.172.
This is record of grea. progress, all of it
made without a cent of assistance from the
national treasury. In view of it, it would
seem to be entirely unnecessary for the gov
eminent to tender its assistance, even If such
aid were not inexpedient on other grounds.

Mr.. Mckinley disposes Of the Democratic
yarns Of dissatisfaction with Speaker Reeds
rnlin.s on the part Of some Republicans
with THIS platn-statement:
The Republicans of ,a5 House have never been
more united n any subject than they are today
~ support OF the position taken Y the Speaker
he VIII be sustained at every point by his party
We make the issue now and for all time for the
appeal TO the country next fail ana for any an
peal al any time. Despite all reports TO the COLI
lrary. there Is no member of the party in the
House whose position is at all doubtful Every
man Is In line and will remain there"
And not only are the Republican members
of the House unanimous in his support, but
the Republican press of the country sustain
him, not perfunctorily, but cordially and
heartily. And we predict that when the
/. heat of the present contest cools off, not only
will the Republicans, but the Democrats,
applaud this emancipation of our national
legislature from its slavery to precedents
which have long since outlive1 their useful
ness and been perverted to uses for which
they were never intended to be put. In
years to come the people, without distinction
OF party, will applaud the wisdom ana cour-
age OF Speatos Isvcu-s course.

1t can readily be seen that this ore
plays a very important part as an ad-
mixture with the Potsdam ores, with
their higher phosphorus and manganese.
How long these deposits can stand per-
sistcnt, heavy drain upon them it is i'm
possible to definitely say, but that they
are available for many years to come is
unquestioned.
In leaving the brown ores of Nos. l and

tho important part they may play in the
near future in the manufacture of basic,
and especially of open hearth basic steel.

GOALS.

Tho percentage of ash in the Fire
Creek and Nuttall cokes is entirely too
high for tho ash shown in the Goals, but
the chances are that the coal samples
were picked, while the coke shows the
run of the mines.
Tho Flat Top seam, with its magnifi-
cent thickness of 6 to IL feet, must nee
essarily be the source of supply to all
the furnaces located on or near the line
of the Norfolk and Western road. and il
is in this section where the large pres

1t is safe to assume that with proper
care the ore can be had on commercial
scale to average 10 per cent. of iron.
One important statement remains to
be made. 1t must be borne in mind that
under the gossan occur tho oxides of COP
per, rcd and black, with the carbonate
in seams in the adjacent gossan. Be
low this follows the lode holding tho
gray and black sulphurets; beneath
these tho mundic rock to an unknown
depth.
~ diamond drill hole has, within the
last few months, been drilled to the
depth of 10 feet through, and leaving
off i'll the mundic rock, which is sui
phuret of iron and copper. Two tests
wore made by roasting this mundic
rock, simply for iron and sulphur. A
pile of the mundic from near tho sur
face was roasted with wood, and Il piece
OF the drill core at depth of 10 feet
was heated in the laboratory, with the
following results.

on the west, on the Shenandoah Valley
railroad, the same seams exist. Fred
Crick Prime, Jr.. is auth ority for tho
statement that on this mountain the ore
is known as the ''hard" and soft" "fos-
sill ores" according as the predominant
impurities are silica or lime. This diff
fers from the conditions existing in
lower Tennessee and Alabama, but
seems to verify what Mr.. Moore found.
1t is worse than folly to attempt to
state, with any precision, what amount
of workable ore can be found at any
single locality, but we can safely sum
up the general situation. This lead of
ore is Il stratified bed or seam; it OK
tends, with variations as to quantity,
but of fairly positive quality, tho
length of the State. 1t is in reasona BILE
proximity to railroads built and build
ing, and with proper methods it can be
proftably worked. Whether or not
under water level it loses its CONNER
cial value. there is, in the aggregate, D
large amount to be had above water
level. The soft ore will be of great
value for admixture with the silicious
brown ores, especially in view of the
fact that, as rule, it carries low
manganese and phosphorus; and it is
likely to prove a factor Of no mean i'm
portance in the future iron opera lions
of the State.
Under No. V comes the Medina sand
stones, No. ~, of Rogers. In these
measures are to be found large veins of
what enthusiastic land owners want TO
be iron ore; but it is simply fcrrifcr-
Gus sandstone, carrying from is per
cent. to 30 per cont. of iron, and from
80 per cent to % per cent. of silica and,
of course, worthless for furnace use.
No. Ill of Rogers requires especial
mention, as it carries valuable brown
ores over considerable areas. These in
former days served to supply number
of small charcoal furnaces scattered
through the mountain valleys, but are
not worked at present. They can be
made readily available on Purgatory
Mountain, near buchanan, Botetourt
county, Va, and the projected Western
railroad from Buchanan to the kentucky
line via Catawba Creek and Moccasin
Gap will open up many miles of these
ores. Recent Investigations seem to
point to large deposits lying in fairly
regular condition, and susceptible of
easy and cheap mining. A series of
samples taken by Il. ID. Frazier, u care
full and conservative prospcctor, and an
alyzed by p. G.. Salon, of Philadelphia,
gave as follows:

AS one Of the possibilities of success-l
fully making iron in Virginia, it does
not seem unfair to make tho following
comparison, as quoted by Mr.. McCreath, !
especially as the analyses of the cokes
OF other districts have been for /, long

Hc Broke the bicycle Record for Twenty
five Miles.
Charley Kiuge did it. He smashed the
record for twcnty-ive miles. He accom-
plished this feat on Saturday afternoon
on the New Rochelle course. The meet
ing was under the auspices of the Hud-
son County Wheelmen. and was post
poned from the previous Saturday in
consequence of the storm. Six prizes
were offered to induce the fast long dis
lance riders to compete. The starters
were:-Charles Z. KluEe, Hudson County

Jersey Athletic Club; Edward y. NC
Loughlan, Jr., and e. Il. Smith, Hudson
County Whaelmen; G. w. Bayes. Kings
County Whselmen; and Charles b.. LOCK
wood of the Yonkers Bicycle Club.
They Kept together until the close OF
the third mile when Kluge moved away
to again establish q record as the pace
was too slow. He covered 1215 miles in
AZ minutes so minutes, and finished the
twenty-five mile journey in / hour rs
minutes and 40 seconds, beating Muir
phys time by / minute aud 40 seconds.
This is remarkable as he had no pace
makers to assist him, while Murphy had
a large field to compete against. Bayes
finished second, but would have been
beaten by Zimmerman. had not the latter,
who roGe a Star cicycle, broken the han
dle-bar of his machine in the eighth mile.
He rode eighteen miles with only one
handle-bar, and was only six seconds be-
hind Bayes. Mclaughlin was fourth,
Smith fifth, and Lockwood sixth.
