NEW BILLS,

Beside a bill to create "a Department
of Commerce, Labor and Manufac-
lures" and a joint resolution "for the
reinstatement in the civil service of
such persons as may have been, with
out cause, separated therefrom," Hon.
w. P. Brownlow has introduced a bill
to so amend the Sherman Trust Law
80 as TO compel members of the trust
to testify. This will arm the courts
with power to probe into the secret
schemes and operations of the combines
and lay a restraining hand upon the
conscienceless rapacity of their organ
lied greed. He has, also, introduced a
bill relating to pensions. If enacted
into a law it will be one of the most
important and beneficient features Of
our pension legislation. Whilst it will
simplify and shorten the methods of
pension procurement, removing OBJ
stacles that stand in the way of justice
and right, it will guard the interest of
the Government and applicant alike.
1t will hasten the adjustment of pen.
sion claims and be q boon to the de
serving class in sore need OF help from
the Government they helped to save in
the fearful crisis of its peril.

NOTHING RITT SHEER LuSTICE.

Representative w. P. Brownlow has
introduced q bill for the reinstatement
of Government employees discharged
without cause, or rather for political
reasons. The proposition is favorably
received on account of its manifest
Justice to those who were removed
simply to make room for hungry Dem
ocrats or to punish Republicans for
their political principles. When Cleve
land came in in 1913, he surrounded
himself with bitter and vindictive
partisans of the Hoke Smith kind, and
as far as possible there was a slaughter
of those appointed under Republican
administration. Rule No. 10 OF the
civil service commission provides for
the restoration Of Union soldiers, Tut
Mr.. Brownlow's bill provides for the
restoration of all classes. In many re,
spects civil service is a fraud and an
injustice, and the life tenure feature
of it is r%epugnant to the genius and
spirit of American institutions. 1t
should not be carried so far as either
to serve partisan ends or to build up an
oligarchy of Office holders.

The sixteen States, that comprise the
South proper, are certainly making
rapid and substantial advancement in
educational matters. They are expend
ing thirty millions of dollars a year
upon their public schools-a sum as
great as the British Parliament votes
for the public school system of the
British Islands. This is a sure and
gratifying indication that the South
has taken her place in the column of
progress; that, free of the curse of hui
man slavery, she is determined to rid
herself as fast as possible Of the burn
ing shame and crime of illiteracy. The
