POLITICAL POINTERS.

IL Roger @. Mills, of Texas, could
have his way, the vote Of the house OF
representatives to-day would be that no
fair should be held in honor of the dis
cOyery OF America by Christopher
Columbus-no fair, either here in New
York Or in Chicago or st. Louis.-New
York Times.
To the Democratic newspapers Of the
United States: You seem to have over
looked the pretty little scheme which
the Democrats of Ohio have comcoeted
having for its object the theft of half
dozen Or more congressional districts by
means OF the worst sort of gerryman-
derlng. 1t is worthy of your attention.
Let us see how many of you care enough
for fair play to den0unce it.-NeW York
Tribune.
Our correspondent asks whether con-
gress ought not to pass laws to enforce
the negroes right to vote. We answer
no. To do so is only to encourage the
blacks to band together against the pub
lie interest and welfare. Congress
ought to leave the negroes alone. 1t
has nothing to do with them as negroes.
When the federal power turns it back
on them, and not till then, will they be-
come citizens in the true sense and be-
gin for the first time since freedom and
citizenship were bestowed upon them to
vote as other men do-with regard to
the general welfare. and not as self
seeking combine. New York Herald.

SCHOOL BOOK SYNDICATE.

Among the latest reported English
syndicates is one with an alleged 49,
100000 capital, to control the leading
houses that publish school books. There
is good deal of the romantic about the
English syndicate business. The word
has a loudly auriferous ring, and Wis
ions of millions rise about it as nat
uraIIy as the rainbow comes behind the
raindrops. Foreign money has been
finding Investment in this country for a
good while, and more freely of late.
1t will continue to in the future un-
doubtedly. but an attempt to secure
the publication of school books is not
likely to allure foreign capitalists. The
tendency of the states to control the
school books is a growing one, and
likely to be accelerated by an impress
sion that alien agencies, that are con-
cerned only to realize the largest profits.
are seeking to absorb the business.
The states would prefer to publish the
books themselves.

the committee now and the nominations
will be promptly reported to the senate for
confirmation.

hut as about 700 other workmen in the

previously made between the employers
and employees would be declared void.
This agreement fixed the minimum
daily rate OF wages at $3.50 for ten hours

his case principally on the record made
by Mr.. WarmOth when he was governor
of Louisiana, when, Mr.. Eust charged,

them in self-protection. Now, if MIR.
PowDERLY had given his attention to
the enforcement Of this law and toward
securing the enactment of additional
legislation fot the protection of miners,
it would have been more credit to him
than to be eringing at the feet of the
coal barons, begging for charity. The
little he will get will not be of much
service to the starving victims of mon
opoly oppression, while by his very
act Mr.. PowDERLY gives confirmation
to the suspicion that he serves the
monopolies better than he serves the
cause of labor.

inJudicious again in publishing the
statement that house committee has
prepared bill for the promotion of the
vessel interest that will pay bounty
of so cents registered ton for every
mile sailed, and predicting that it will
pass both houses. He must have the
figures wrong, for vessel crossing the
ocean with a cargo of corn could not
carry more than half enough to pay the
subsidy. The experience reported with
this artificial process of developing
commerce is not favorable to it.

of the worlds fair in Chicago will be
Lake Front park. This is much smaller
than Paramount park, used for the Phila-
delphia fair. but is said to contain
twenty-five acres more than the grounds
used for the Paris exhibition, and is
rare location on account of the proX-
unity of the lake and the fact that it is
in the heart of the city, where all the
street car lines converge. and on the
belt line that crosses every railroad.
Possibly temporary structures may ex-
tend out into the lake.
