The Wool Question in Ubio.
,i . Tho frauds rocontly detected at the
f orts of New York and Philadelphia,
aya '.ho San Francisco Examiner, re
specting the undorvalua:ion of wool
'imports from foreign countries has
been preaoutod by tho Derndcrata of
Ohio to tho people of that State as an
tissue- of the very greatest interest and
'i'n'portnce to them. The tariff of
1883 relating, to wool is especially of
fensive to the wool growers of Ohio.
The clause in it relating to wool was
framed ly a conference cororaiUee on
which there were one Democrat, and
four Republicans; the Democrat, Mr.
Carlisle, of Kentucky, voting against
it, . Mr. Deck and other Democrats in
tho Senate refused to serve on the com
mittee, because they were absolutely
' opposed to the intended legislation. It
; wan a contest Letween the wool-growers,
mainly represented by Ohio, and
tho manufacturers of woolen fabrics in
the Eist. ' Senator Sherman and the
itepublicaiH in the House from Ohio
voted in favor of the manufacturers
and against the wool-growers. The
Senator afterwards pretended that he
was ignorant of the clauses in the tar
id' relating to wool end promised to
have them changed 50 as to protect the
Ohio wool men. But it was never
'done. Of late, the manufacturers of
, carpets in Philadelphia have import
ed immense quantities of good
wools liable to a duty of 10 and 12
cents per pound. lue&e wools were
classified as an inferior grade at the
Custom house and admitted at two ann
A half cents a pound, This extraor
dinary reduction of duty was madu by
, a decision of tho Treasury Department,
which not only deprived the Govern
tnent of several millions of revenue,
but gave the favored importers and
" their confederates the opportunity to
. itut millions in their pockets. The fact
that this decision was withheld from
publication required by law, so that
parties interested in other communities
.' should be kept in ignorance of the
astounding partiality tells the whole
story, and reveal the motive which
inspired this glaring breach of trust
The Ohio wool-growers therefore com
plain, first, that the law was devised by
the sharp practice of a conference to
operate agaiitHt their special interest;
secondly, that the law, bad as it is
from their point of view, has been ad
ministered to their still greater injury
by depriving them of ono halt the pro
tection to which they are entitled un
der it. In the one case a Republican
Congress is responsible for the often
sivo legislation: in the other, a Repub
lican administration is responsible for
' the frauds committed by its officials in
tho Treasury and the Custom House.
Tho issue is an important one, and tho

Not long since there was a chronic
dispute between Chicago and St. Louis
as to which had the greater populatiou.
For a time the contest was very close,
but within a few year Chicago has
grown so rapidly as to leave St. Louis
hopelessly in the rear. Uiicagnans

fail, tho inhabitants of the city at the
junction of the Mississippi and the
Missouri have another rival in their
own state,' Kansas City is growing at
a rate hardly paralleled even in the
West, and if it maintains Its present
rate it will soon rank among the most
populous cities on the continent. Twen
ty years ago Kansas City had only
5000 inhabitants; it now has 150,000,
or a doubling thirty times. In 1870
it was assersed for 19,000,000; its pres
ent assessment is upon $50,000,000.
In 1875 the exchanges at its clearing
house were 820,000,000; last year
they were $177,000,000. Only 145
permits for new buildings, with t
value of 9232,000 were issued in 1878;
last year 2121 permits representing
buildings vplued at 43,000,000, were
issued. Better still, while the city
debt in 1870 was tl,600,0C0, it is now
only (1,000,000. Kansas City is

building will be ready for us at the" begin

will afford facllitie long beetled, add its
erection Will lutrk a definite forward ttep in
the career of th University.
We cannot enter Into th ditny important
detail Of th President' report, indeed
nothing ha boon left unsaid, but th action
of the regent in atfolithlng the "to-called
normal course," deserve particularly to be
ovmineuded. The normal coarse, a it wa
attached to th University, wa limply a
device fo graduate a large cfas each year
apon alow and easy taudard, and it effect
wa to uepreciato the value oi geuaiu grad
uation. Jo this matter the regent have
thown better widin thau the Legislature,
which hat been far too free in granting nor
mal charter to schools which are not nor
mal school at all. leaving out of Hie ques
tion th propriety of normal edocatioa under
State authority and at State oott, the Legis
lature ha doui wrong in designating as nor
mal (drool a number of local establishment
which are nothing more, in fact, than acad
emic. The State ihonld not have divided
it educational effort till iu the futnro, when
a oollege might properly have been estab
lished wmewhere in Eastern Oregon. Two
Stat Schools iu th Willamette valley and
none el Cwltere, is a manifeit injustice.
It is to be htfped that the time will come
soon when the primary or so-called "pre
paratory department" of the Stat Univer
sity can he abolished. Such a department
ia a positive discredit to a school of the rank
of our State University. It ha betu con
tinued mulor a general policy of "respect

circumstances, and its abolition mast be ex
netted on an effect of the ueneral develop
ment. The regent have realized that a
university to be successful, and in harmony
with it situ -rt ion, must be a growth, ancr
that the conditions of educational ellort,
population and financial resource hj Oregon
must man trie growtli nere aiow. a con
siderable advance noon the "country col-
Ii-m" status has been mail during the past
five or six years, ami (irogres may bo ex
pected to lie more rapid iu the fttture. The
State University ought to be the pride of
our people, and its diploma ought indeed to
bo a "patent of honor."
It would Le uugMuious to omit from any
discussion of tli University a word of ac
knowledgement o the important services
freely rendered by the,. Board of Regent,
and particularly by its President, judje
