The Blair educational bill has been
discussed 1t intervals in the United
States Senate, and has made pro-
gress accordingly to . final vote in
that body. The most notable
speech on the subject was that Of
Senator Spooner, Of Wisconsin, In
opposition to the bill. Though .
Republican and . supporter Of the
measure when it was first under con-
sideration, he annouced that he had
now changed his views and would
vote against it. He said the South
was once poor and needed help for
the education Of Its children, but that
time wa gone, for the South was
now prosperous and could take care
Of itself without special aid from the
national treasury. The most re-
markable declaration Of Senator
Spo0ner, however, was that such
legislation by congress is dangerous
because it would be . iirst step to-
ward Capitalization, involving .
strong tendency to paternalism in
and that the policy of
the bill, il once entered upon, would
never end until the general govern
ment took absolute control Of the
school system Of all the States. This,
in Senator Spooner's opinion, was =
danger 50 far to be avoided that he
could not assent to the measure.
It ID certainly agood sign Of healthy
return to constitutional methods
when . leading Republican Senator
himself SC closely to the ira
ditions nd.views Of the Democratic
party on such threatened invasions
of State sovereignty by congression-
i legislation Acadia Sentinel.

TIE Sioux City Journal notes that
the Dubuque Ledger has opinionated
that nothing can prevent the election
of the Hon. II. c. Wheeler, of Sac, for
governor, over Horace Boies next year.
Whatever the Ledger may say does not
deserve repeating, 1t had mushroom
growth last year for the simple purpose
of booming Boies. Its editor, a life
time republican, worked the independ-
ent racket successfully. But when the
governor came to make up his casket
of jewels, the same editor was a candi-
date for state oil inspector, but the GOV
ernor called democratic heller to the
place. Then the independent editor
dashed the waves Of public opinion
with cries of what he did, and abused
the governor for leaving him out. But
the governor has moved along in a tol
cradle way without him. And now
this independent thinks that Wheeler
can be elected over Boies because he
will have the independent editors sup
port, That is the size of his judgment.
Wheeler is all right, and can be elected
with or in spite of the independent ed
itor from Dubuque. The idea of mag
nifying the opinion of some independ-
ent, vacillating crank, into Importance
is to be deprecated. Whenever the re-
publican party uses them as props II
gets let down, as they are in the field
for the pickings. There are enough re-
publican papers such as the Sioux City
Journal, the pes Moines Register,
Iowa Capital, the Cedar Rapids Re.
publican and many others, that speak
for the good of the party and people,
furnishing conscientious opinions,
without quoting one that wants Boies
defeated simply because he refused to
give its editor an Office that by rights
should go to those who are democratic
for democracy's sake.

THERE is nothing in the tariff bill
which does not contemplate a benefit
to the whole people. That which must
be bought abroad because it cannot be
grown or manufactured here, is placed
on the free list Where industries are
favored it is with view to making
them stronger. When they are deyel-
oped to independence they can sell
their products cheaper, all things being
equal, than the foreign manufacturer
or grower.
