SENATOR FAULKNER of West Virginia

feature in the Blair bill The bill has
been advocated on the ground of reliev-
ing illiteracy in the States, and yet,

than to the colored children on the basis
of school population, while the illiteracy
of the colored children Is forty per cent.

to what the entire North and West
would receive Thus the states which
have made the most marvellous and I'M
precedented advances In educational
facilities since the bin has been intro
duced, and the states which have de
clared against the bill will receive the
largest benefit. Even then the money,
according to the provisions Of the bill.
will be expended not on the blacks
but on the whites. Was there ever such
travesty on legislation proposed to a body
Of sensible menY The Blair bill is a

A MOB CONTRAST.

The arguments and statements Of the
protectionists newspapers are full of
rich but concealed humor. They repay
working without the highly protective
tariff on the crude product which the
tin miners seem to need.
There is the Inter Ocean, Of Chicago,
for instance, which is on crusade to
protect the wool-growing industry. It
has proved that Cleveland's message Of
1887 decreased the number of sheep in
the United States at the rate Of 10, 600 900
tieeces per year, The rate of duty was
not changed, but the sheep persisted, ran
away and neglected ito drop" because Of
the apprehension of competition with
British free trade wool. OF course this
sort Of reasoning is very clear aud con-
vlncing to that peculiar mental equip
ment which prevails among protection
lists. After establishing this proposition
the Enter-Ocean says
But the free wool manufacturers do
not come into court with an honest plea.
They do not disclose the true motive
which we have disclosed. They make a
false pretense Of desire to compete In
what they call "the markets of the
world. The pretenae is false. Their
real intent is to fitch a dollar from the
American wool grower, to keep 70 cents
for themselves, and TO offer the pur-
chaser of manufactured woolens %
cents, or perhaps less, or perhaps nothing
at all. The division Of the swag is for
future consideration. They will keep all
Of 1t if possible; IL not all certainly
most.
Thus the Inter Ocean can discern and
expose the motives Of the wool manu-
facturers with the utmost accuracy.
Their selhshness. their unpatriotic love
for the Australian wool grower and the
British free trader is so apparent that
the man who cannot perceive it is a
traitor.
But when the wool growers demand
more protection and the quinine manu-
faeturers demand more blood money
from the people the Iuter Ocean
applauds them as distinguished
and disinterested patriots and ad-
vises Congress TO crafty their modest
requests. The Inter Ocean stigmatlzei
and philosophers on the true object o.
the free wool cry thus:
They don't want the markets Of tn,
world. They want cheap raw materia
and cheap labor The desire is selfish
It Is also silly.
How noble and gratifying the demand
of the wool-growers aud the QUINN
manufacturers appear in contrast. sucl
Is protectionism.

A letter was received from Edward

the society would be willing to remove
the fountain near Front and Madison

communication was referred to Comfy

which fell and broke its neck on Union

investigation. George Churchman was
ordered to pave the sidewalk on Tenth
street between Market and Orange,
within forty eight hours.
The petition of George w. 0rtlip TO
put an improved lamp in front of the
Central Hotel, at his own expense, was
refused because he intended to place the
name Of the hotel ON the lamp.
A communication was received from
George a. Boughman, chief engineer of
the Engineering and Surveying Depart
ment, asking that the force be in
creased. The force at present consists OF
4 chief engineer, two assistants, q rod
man and draughtsman. It has been in
adequate for years, but the increased
work caused by the building of the in
tercepting sewer, makes more help neces-
sary. The matter was laid over to decide
on the help needed The board then acted
on intercepting sewer plans.

The vote of the National House Of
Representatives in favor Of Chicago as
the place for the Worlds Fair in 1892

be held, but it may as well be taken as

the votes on the several ballotings yes

Matt Quay, and with the countenance and
support Of our Western President,
worked secretly against New York
1t was his sinister interposition at the
time when New York's prospects were
most hopeful at Washington that pro-

Legislature at Albany and cast those
prospects into the shadow. 1t caused the

The modus operandi Of the police pa

say strike a snag.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
No good citizen will be disposed to
seriously credit the remarkable and
significant hint thrown out by some of
Washington correspondents that the
House resolution In favor Of Chicago for
the Worlds Fair may strike snag in
the Senate, on account of immense
personal financial interests involved.
IL is no wonder, however. in
view of the peculiar character
of a good portion OF the Senate these
days. that this kind of suggestion
comes up. The so called Millionaires'
Club unquestionably does not stand we'll
with the people. There arelmen occupying
seats therein of undoubted personal
worth, of whom nothing of this sort will
for one moment be believed But IL Is
great question whether as much may be
said Of the majority of the Senate. The
statement thrown out will be timely
warning, both to the Senate and to the
country Should the voice of the popular
branch Of the National Legislature be even
for time nullitied by the action of the
Senate, the suspicious INDUCED In by
these critical observers will be more
than verified. Washington never had
any chance worth speaking Of as the site
OF the great Worlds Fair II could only
hope for some such commemorative ex-
ercises as were suggested in these col
umns last week. Any attempt of specu-
lative syndicates, IN or out Of the SEN
