J.r.HALLOUAN ruitor.
Educational Schemes.
Senator Logan, of Illinois, who
has just succeeded in getting a
bill through the Senate granting
the hero of Appomattox 812,750
a year, is now engineering another
bill that has about it-all the charm
of novelty -and all tho'.inridioua
merit of a genuine surprise. It
is to turn the federal tax on spirits
into a general school fund. The
proposition is seriously considered
in the Senate. At present there
is 65,000,000 annually collected
from the manufacturers of whiskey,
wine, and all the rest of the bev
erages, which Logan thinks should
bo given to the states to help edu
cate the rising generation. It is,
not necessary to go into tho argu
ments pro and con. There is
something comical about tho propo
sition, but ludicrous as it is, it may
pass. If it pass, Oregon's share
of the money would bo $201,00 0
which would give each school cen
sus child in the stale $3.27, which
would materially increase educa
tional facilities with whisky
money.
There is another bill before the
Senate, fathered and fostered by
Blair, of New Hampshire, which
is still more Utopian in its nature.
The honorable member from the
old granite state hopes to have
Congress appropriate 15,000,000
this year, 14,000,000 the nest,
$13,000,000 the next and so on,
for ten years in a descending se
ries, thus raising 105,000,000,
which shall bo distributed to the
states and territories "in that pro
portion which the whole number
of persons in each who, being of
of the age of 10 rears and over,
cannot read and write, bears to
the whole number of such persons
in the United States."
The intent is to do away with
illiteracy. This billjtif.passed,
would be a grand thing for tho
south, where -the bulk of the
money would go; it might be a
good thing; wo" doubt it. George
Peabody gave the south a grand
educational fund, which Lis never
resulted in any tangible good.
Tho last we heard of that quota of
it that should go to Mississippi,
tho legislature of that state
was engaged in an unseemly
squabble with the executors in an
attempt to force those parties to
pay thorn their part of the bequest
without fulfilling their part of the
contract. Senator Blair's bill is a
good deal like the handle of a jug.
Take two states Ohio and South
Carolina; the one a representative
northern, the othor a lepresenta
tive southern state. Ohio lias a
population of 3,200,000, in that
there are 32,000 illiterate persons.
South Carolina has a population of
995,577; In that there are 369,848
who are illiterate. Should Blah's
bill pass.Ohio would get 8310,433;
South Carolina would ct 887,
635. "But that's just the intent
of the bill," say its champions.
The plea is a flimsy one. It looks
too much like an attempt to tax
the frugal and tho provident to
help out the lazy and indifferent.
Congress has a large lot of eggs
to sit on; two promising chicks
have been hatched; the anti-polygamy,
and anti-Chinese bill; Blair's
little scheme for making the north
foot the educational bills of the
south is a bad egg and should bo
removed from the patent incu
bator at "Washington.
T he Mississippi river has a fall
of 5 inches to the mile from Cairo
to Memphis: 4 inches to tho milo
from Memphis to Vicksburg; 3J
inches to "the milo from Vicksburg
to the mouth of tho Red river;
and from 2 to 3 inches to the mile
from the mouth of the Red river
to New Orleans. In 1,100 miles
the fall is but 330 feet.
TrtELos Angles, Cal., Herald
-is entitled to the medal for the
champion idiot, in asserting that
the assassination of Garfield was
the natural result of a failure to
inaugurate Tilden in 1S76.
Au Entering Wedge.
A "Washington dispatch of the
20th,sa3s: 'Eachday bringsnewsof
developments as to the inefficiency
of the Chinese bill. Lawvort sav
it can never be operative, but can j
be evaded with the greatest ease. !
It seems to bo intended but as an
entering wedge, and subsequent
' l
legislation will be absolutely no -
cessary to carry it out. Oar new
minister to China, who will S3il in
May, will have an up-hill reception
on account of the passage of tho
bill, and some predict he will en
counter violence there. Large
numbers of people in "Washing
ton who have studied tho Chinese
subject pretty well, Feem to think
tho bill is simply an advertise
ment to induce Chinese to emigrate
to this country. It is not sure the
President will sign the bill. If ho
does it will bo on the principle
frequently spoken of by Grant,
that to raako an odious law 1 -tasteful
is to enforce it." If Ai -thur
does not sign the bill it will
be passed over his veto, and he
will lose the support of the Pa
cific coast. 1
The Gulf Stream received its
name from the fact that it was
long supposed to originate in the
Gulf of Mexico. According to
Humbolt it receives its first iru
pnlso near tho southern extremity
of Africa. From the Gulf of
Mexico this stream flows into the
Atlantic ocean between Florida
and Cuba, whence it runs north-
Ward, nearly parallel to the Ameri-.
can coast, until it reaches Nova
Scotia and Newfoundland, where
one branch runs downwaid to
ward tho Azores, while the other
flows northward to the British
islands and thence to the Polar
sea.
