Hoar's scheme has made the whole
country understand, tor tbe first time,
the extent of the gtrryrrander ot lle
ptiMicso Legislatures and the infamy of
h sjsfrm that has denied honest repre
tentation and kept the voice of S a es
in Conarrss at the command of a min
1 rity of he r p.op e. To a cerrain de
gree, tl.e cit zans of each State hereto
fore realized the injustice that had been
put upon them ; tut the appreciation of
it was almos. dorman', as oca of the
mysteries of p.litica of which voters
generally know little, and each locality
had littie understanding of tne grievi
arces of others.
For exmp'e, few New Yorkers Com
prehended the monstrous injustice of
the fradulent appoitionment in Ohio,
and even among Democrats there was
a dlsiHisition to regard tbe rectification
of constituencies in accordance with
the State Cunstitutioc as an act of re
venge rather than one of duty and
justice. Now, every one knows that
the geographical and statistical distort
tion tfcat gives to one-half the people
cf Ohio less than one-quarter of the
Congressional delegation is a wrong
that should be righted without delay.
The demand of the Republican Machine
fr the interposition of Federal author

the Ohio Legislature has made plain to
everyone the shameful frp-ctacle of a
party ready to violate the Constitution
and trample on local rights in order to
perpetuate a ftaud.

Education and Federal Aid.
A crude opinion has been frequently
expressed by some school superintend
ents and other advocates of paternalism
in government that "tbe rural States
cannot supply an adequate education
without Federal aid." This notion
arises out of a mass of misconceptions
concerning the power and functions of
the Federal Government. It assumes
that the Federal Government occupies
toward the States and the people the re
lation of a wealthy parent npon whose
bounty they exist, when, la fact, tbe
Federal Government is wholly depend
ent up in the people for its support.
Kvery dollar in the National Treasury
is drained fiom the earnings of tbe
people.
This notion that "the rural States"
canuot provide for the education of
their children without "Feder 1 aid
also rests upon a false assumption con
cerning tbe superior wealth of the few
Sta'es in which the bulk of tbe import
duties and internal revenue is collect
ed. The importers of New York do
cot pay tbe duties on imports collected
In that State, but the payment is made
by consumers ihrengbout the country.
N.rdo the people of Illinois pay the
latg- amount of internal revenue col
lected from tbe distillers of that Slate.
Kansas, Maine and Iowa pay their full
share, notwithstanding their prohibito
ry liquor laws. Rural Kentucky Is
quite as able as urban New York and
Massachusetts to provide for educa
tion. There is not a rural State in the
Vuion so poor as to require "Federal
aid" for purposes of education. What
is needed by all the States, and by the
neaktst most of all. is that the heavy
hand of the FeJeral Government should
be taken off them. They would then
be aruply able to take care of themselves.
The excessive revenues collected from
necessaries of living and poured into the
national Treury would. If remitted, j
amount to more than enough in tbe
poorest S ates to euable t'.e S.ate Gov
ernment to maiutatu liberal fysumsof
pnb'ic education.
If this enormous Treasury surplus
did cot exist th- Fed-ral Government
wvu.d bdve neither the means nor tbe
dispts.tion to appropriate moneys to
the Sta'es for school purpot-es. Instead
of in'ermedd'ir.g with wht belongs to
the States and the people, the Govern
ment at Washington would confine it
self to its legitimate functions. With
the national Tieasury empty, as it
stii utd be, and revenues reduced to the
needs of economical administration.
S-nator 11. air himself would hardly pro
po&e to increase the duties on coal, iron
ore. salt, lumber, wool, clothing, blank
ets, tin-ptate and other artie'es In order
to giant Frderal aid to the rural States
for education. The answer would be
that the States, to which tbe duty be
longs, could much mora economically
ra:?e and administer the tsxes necessa
ry for the support of their public
schools.
The presence o7 a vast Treasury sur

For a ational rawn-hop.
Washington, February 23. S.-nator
Vance to-day introduced a bill to ea
tabiiah in every county of each of the
several States a Uuited States agricul
tural depository to be under the con
trol of the Treasury Department and
under conditions which prescribe that
tbe average gross amount per annum of
cotton, wheat, corn, oats and tobacco
produced and sold in each county for
two years previoui, exceeded S-100.000.
The bill provides that any owner of
cotton, wheat, corn, oats or tobacco
may deposit the same in the nearest
depository and receive therefor Treasu
ry note equal to 80 per cect. of the
marke'. price of tbe products. The
manager of the depos.lo y shall give to
the depositor a wait house receipt show
ing tbe amount, etc., its valoe, tbe
amount of notes advanced ; bat tbe
interest on the money so advance J is
at the rate or 1 per cent.
These deposits of cotton and other
staples miy be redeemed by the holder
of the ware-hoose receipt at any depos
itory by the eurreoder of the receipt
and the payment ia lawful money of
the amount origiaally advanced by the
depositor and such further amount as
may be necessary to discharge all in
terest as may have acciued against it,
and all insurance, warehouse and other
charges. The term of efflee for a man
ager of a depository shall be two years.
The sum of f.5.000 is appropriated to
carry out the provisions of the bill.
Congress and Food AdnlleratUn.
Cougresa is doing its best to prevent
the American people from being poi
soned ty ine. food they eat. The for
eign affairs committee of tbe Ssoaie ia
trying to keep out foreign poison by a
bill prohibiting the importation of adul
terated articles of food or drink. The
Senate committee on agriculture is
anxious to prevent the eating or drink
ing of pois a of home manufacture and
has reportid a bill prohibiting the in
troduction of impure food into any
S ate or Territory from any other Slate
or Ttrriiory.
This bill also provides for the estab
lishment ia lh Depanmaot of Airri.
j culture of -food division empowered to
procure for analysis samples of food,
diugs and liquors sold in any State or
Trrritory in the Union. It also pro
vides a penalty for the afflxing of false
lbe!s npon articles of food or drink.
This bi.'l appears to be inspired by the
Drparimrct of Agriculture, as it has
teen introduced into tbe House as we.l
as in the Senate, although not as jet
repotted Inm any committee of the
foi mer bt dy.
While there may fce no objection to
judicious legislation on this aubject by
Congress, the chaLces are against tbe

The Democratic Legis'ature of Ohio
Las au important piece ol woik before
it, and that is to rescue tbe State from
the effects or the Republican gerry
mandering of Congressional districts.
I a 1SSS the Democrats polled 47.09 i,er
cent, of tbe vote of the State and tbe
Republicans 4141 per cent., yet tbe
Democrats elected but five oat of the
21 Congressmen. It then required 79,
251 Democratic votes to elect a Congress
man, while the Republicans needed bot
20,003 votes to do the same thing. Tbe
sh me evil exists in a greater degree in
New York Sfte and if either State
had been fairly represented in Congress
the country might have been spared the
spectacle of a tyrannical Speaker wbowt
tempted to rule Congress by the grace
cf his own will and with an otter dis
regard of tbe precedents and laws of the
past hocdred years.
