A Ilaticnal System-
15y grndtial approitclics the Iiad
icals in Congress are seeking to un
dermine the rights of the iState.
We have denounced from time to
time their eilbrts in this direction.
Ve notice another step in the
shape of a bill to establish a sys
tem of National Educa-tion. The
education of our youth is not onlv
the right but the imperative duty
of the State. Iut it seems this
does not suit the views of the Pro
gressionists. They "voukl take
lrom the State this work and de
volve it upon the General Govern
ment. A bill recently introduced
in Congress by Air. Hoar, of .Mas
sachusetts, provides a national tax
and the appointment of national
oiheers for this purpose. It graci
ously says, however, that any State
may, at its election, in lieu of the
tax provided for by this Act, pro
vide for all the children within its
borders between the age of C and
18 years suitable instruction, etc.,
If in i y State shall, Ik lore July 1,
is?."), by a resolve of its Lcgisla
lature, approved by the Governor,
engage to make such provisions,
and shall notify the President of
the United States thereof, till fu
ture proceedings for appointing
the officers provided for by this
bill, or for the assessment or collec
tion of the aforesaid tax within
such State shall be suspended for
twelvemonths from that date. It,
at the expiration of the said twelve
months, it shall be proved to the
satislaction of the President of the
Pnited States that there is estab
lished in said State a system of
common schools, which provides
reasonably for all the children
therein who dwell where the popu
lation is sullicicntly dense to enable
schools to be maintained. no
further steps shall be taken for the
appointment of officers or the as
sesment of the tax therein ; other
wise he shall proceed to cause said
tax to be assessed, and said schools
to be established within such State
forthwith thereafter. This outline
shows a scheme for appointing a
horde of oiTiee-holders to control
the educational systems of the
States. The bill, aside from its
general feature, is full of obnox
ious details.
The object of this and kindred
bills invading the legitimate sphere
of St:jte legislation, is to gradu
ally enlarge the powers of the
General Government and absorb
those of the S;ate. Pefore the
days of l!adiealbm the people
generally km w nothing of the
operations ol' the Federal Govern
ment. Kxceot those who had deal
ings with the Custom House, and
the still fewer with the Federal
Courts, its existence was not per
ceptible, Now this whole thing is
changed and changing. We have
Federal Tax Collectors on till
hands. We have inquistorial ex
aminations by them into our pri
vate business transactions, hitherto
regarded as sacred. We have
military companies in Federal uni
forms, and hired bullies paid for in
Federal money surrounding our
polling and eurolkng places. The
people art' thus being familiarized
to the change which these Radi
cal usurpers are determined to
work iti oursystcm of government.
The control of our elections and
the control of our schools would be
a great advance on the road to con
solidation. We have seen our tax
haws repealed and our rules of evi
dence abolished and heavy pains
ami penalties attached to the denial
of any privelege to Chinese enjoyed
by native citizens. . The party
seeking thus to absorb the rights
of the States is but a revival of
that same organization which the
people overthrew under the leader
ship of Thomas Jefferson in 1800.
It is a party of special priveleges
a party of class legislation a
party which, in the absence of a
heriditary nobilitv. would build u?
j a powerful moneyed aristocracy
f m.
a party whose policy distrusts
the people which regards them as
the mere machines for the use of
the wealthy few, and the whole
! icnueiicN oi wnose legislation is to
make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. Such a party needs a
strong government to keep the
people piiet when they become
restless. And what a potent agency
the school-room is "m propagating
the peculiar tenents of a party
in sowing broadcast oernic'mn.so-
j litical heresies, the events ot the
1 past twenty years prove too
clear! v. enlv it is tbns. Te.v tl,,:

"OREGON CETY, OBE
Manufactures Protesting Asrninst
Prctx
ton.
In no way does the policy of pro
tecting home manufactures, by
levying high duties upon imports,
so forcibly demonstrate ami so
completely expose the sophistical
reuse ning upon w hich it is based as
by thoroughly carrying out the
principle and going down to "pro
tecting'' the producers of raw -material.
So long as only the manu
facturers are protected the burden
falls upon traders ami consumers,
and here it is found a more difficult
task to convince the people of the
unjust and oppressive workings of
the system. Put, when we go back
to duties upon raw materials, those
who are employed in working up
that material are directly affected
by the enhanced cost and the pub
lic soon hear from them either
through a demand for an increase
of one class of duties or for the re
duction of another. In such a state
of a Hairs the injurious results of the
policy are easily comprehended,
while the people do not so readily
understand the matter when their
attention is simply called to the ad
vanced prices of food orclothing
which all are thereby compelled to
pay ; especially since such en
hanced cost is so olten speciously j
attributed to other causes.
We have? before us the published
address of forty-three of the most
prominent woolen manufacturing
houses in the United States, setting i
forth that, their industrv and that 1
of others is ruined by protection, j
and that they must have the raw ,
materials of 'industry free. They
show that the logic of experience j
has compelled many of the sons of;
New England engaged in those
industries supposed to be protected
to doubt the benefits conferred by
anv svstem of protection designed
for the development of their inter
ests. "Unequal and special legislation,"
say thev, "ha been carried to such
an extent, under our present tariff, K'
i i . i
system, that it has become a crying
evil, demanding the serious consid- !
eration ot our people, and t- j
earnest etiorts to aoolv an adequate
remedy." These manufact urers no
longer ask for a higher tariff" on
their prod net ions. The-y have seen
enough of t lie whole protective
system. They say; Give us our.
raw materials free and we are sat
islied to supply the market with
our goods under a low revenue
duty. The fact is that only the
manufacturers of a certain classes
of goods are really benefit eii by the
policy. While many are obliged
to pay duties in some instances
amounting to 110 percent, upon
their wools, and duties correspond
ing high upon either raw materia!;-,
and at the same time are protected
by a duty upon their finished pro-
ducts disproportionately low,
ol ii-
ers are specially favored under the
oresent tariff, receivine." their wools
t about -o per cent, duty, and yet
icing orotcctcd m tueir manuiae-
tare ov iluties ranging irom , v to
over 140 iter cent.
Thus the tariff
framed ostensibly for t he protection ; children growing up in ignorance
of American labor, is found to ex- j ami disgrase, and unfitted to per
ereise against it that unjust diserim- j Ibnu that part on the stages of

Mothers frequently make a mls-
take in the management of their I
children. Overburdened with la-
bor, and needing relief, they are j
yet so nice and particular, tena- j
cious, perhaps, of the domestic j
sceptre, that they often refuse to del- i
egate even a minor household to j
their daughters, forgetting that ;
children should be early taught to '
make themselves useful, and to as- j
t-ist their parents every way in their j
power. A positive injury is done I
to the girls by this deprivation ol
all share in tiie government of the j
house, for it is evident that they J
cannot be two well instructed in j
anything which will promote the j
comfort of a iamily. Whatever j
position in life they may hereafter
occupy, they need a thorough prac

Last summer Charles determin

nothing about him that was natu

was sent for. . He came. He close

tei. Many persons are not well
informed, apparently, as to the
cause that accelerate sudden deaths,
says the Albany Knickerbocker.
At least so we are ad. vised by one
of our learned physitaans, whose
theory is well worthy the consider
ation of every citizen. He says
the causes that lead to sudden
deaths are numerous, but in nine
c.-ises out ef ten eleath would not
result if the sufferers were properly
cared for at the time they were at
tacked. For instance1, a person ap
parently enjoying good health, is
prostrated iti the street by dizzi
ness, fainting, etc. Such persons
are generally picked up. e-arried in
te some house and set up in a chair,
or, perchance, set up en a i-toop.
These spells are produced by a stop
page of circtihit ion of blood. The
doubling up of the body, or the
sitting-lip posture tends to still fur
ther prevent circulation and keeps
blood from the heart, and death
naturally ensues in a lew minutes.
If the persons thus affficted and
suddenly prostrated were pi iced in
a reclining position, and efforts
male to reproduce, ciivulution,
would not I).- compelled to record
h xlf so many sudden deaths. The
advice of our medical friend is cer

Max's Duty. No man has any
light to manage his ah.ursm suen

bring burdens and losses on other
people. There may be rare cases
where a man really connot help

Courting Under Biinculties.
I made the acquaintance of a
young lady once at a party, who
was rather good-looking : audi,
being rather susceptible, of course .
fell in love.
I accompanied the young lady
home, but had a very polite invita
tion from the young lady's lather
to stay at home ! But nothing
daunted, I resolved 15 win Janw
Ann at all hazards. If anything I
rather liked old 1) 's objections,
for that made the thing romantic,
you know.
The next evening, knowing that
Jane Ann would be at church, I
borrowed a hor.e and carriage
ooai a frVi.d, cnl thetv ior
the purpose of taking Jane Ann
home after church was over, o
I am afraid that I did not pay
much attention to0thc sermon on
that evening'; and I thought, at
that time, it was tiie longest 1 had
ever listened id. But as everything
earthly has an end, so had that
sermon; and 1 thought it the hap
piest moment of my life when I
assisted Jane
Ann into my car-
nage.
We of course teok the longest
road to Mr. B 's, possible; and
as it was an opposite direction
from my horse's home, and as he
had not had his supper,die0did not
care much about going; but I at
last got him under way, and then
gave my attention te my compan
ion and commenced conversation,
which ran somewhat in this w ay ;
"Dear Jauie, isn't this a beauti
ful Whoa, there ! Where' vou
7 f
o
going to i , o
The lat was addressed to the
horse, who had suddenly taken a
notion to turn around.
" See how beautiful the moon
Whoa, there ! Wherein the fMck
eais are you going to ?"
The hearse was going square
into the fence.
" Oil 1 Janie, I've long wished
for this opportunity to Whoa,
there! Confound that horse-OPvo
long wished for this oppfrhifvity
to tell you how much I (voiuy?
out of that you oatmuncher !
Where in the mischief are yoii
going to i" 06
The horse was going into the
fence again, but I straightened hini
and commenced again: O
"I've long wanted to tell you,
.1 nme.
TT
how much 1 love you
Come out of that, yon son of-a-gun!
What are you turningparoundcfor ?
And oh, Janie, if I thought you
Where the deuce are yon going?
Whoa, there! loved me half as
well as Confound that horse!
Whoa, there ! I love vou Come ,
out of that! IM be 0perfeetly
con found that horse! Acs, Janie,
I'd be perfectly Darn thathorSe !
Whoa, there!" . " o
I was too late the horse turned
square around, upsetting tne
carriage and breaking it all to
sma.'h, but lortunateiy not hurting
Janie or I. I walked home with
Jane, but never finished my speech.
Tiie carriage ceist me forty dol
lars to get it repaired, and 1 hav
en't indulged in the luxury of fal
ling in love since.
Tickling in Chup.cii, A young
man of the nauie ot Joseph re
cently tickled a young lady in
church, on North eBars Island, in.
Ohio. The lady squealed, and the
preacher baid his arm aiijj, sailed
into the worshipers "powerful."
He said wome n and men should no
more sit together under the drop
pings of his sanctuary. But, even Q
with the possibility of being tickled
before their eyes, the ladies refused
to be seperated, and em the very
next evening all sat together. Cf ho
preacher was indignant, and
brought the male portion of the
congregation before a Justice of
the Peace. A jury was demanded,
and no juror should be a member
of the Church. Three days the
trial lasted, but at hist the op-
pre
seel went free' and now
