The interest of the /general Government in the education of the people found an early expression, not only in the thoughtful and sometimes warning utterances of our ablest statesmen, but in liberal appropriations from the common resources for the support of education in the new States. National aid to education has heretofore taken the form of land grants, and in that form the constitutional power of Congress to promote the education of the people is not seriously questioned. I do not think it can be successfully questioned when the form is changed to that of a direct grant of money from the Treasury. Such sid should be, as it always has been, suggested by some exceptional conditions. The anode 1 emancipation of the slaves of the South, the bestowal of the suffrage, which soon followed, and the impairment of the ability of the States where these new citizens were chiefly found to adequately provide educational facilities. presented not only exceptional but unexampled conditions. That the situation has been much ameliorated, there is no doubt. The ability of the States has been greatly increased. Much work remains to be done, and I think the general Government should lend its aid by legislation of a national grant in aid of education. As this demand for aid grows chiefly out of the condition and needs of the emancipated slaves and their descendants, the relief should, as near as possible, while necessarily.proceeding upon some general lines, be applied to the need that suggested it. It is essential, If much good is to be accomplished, that the sympathy and active interest of the people of the States should be enlisted and that the methods adopted should be such as to stimulate and not to supplant local taxation for school purposes. The Colored Race. The colored people did not Intrude themselves upon us; they were brought here In chains and held in the communities where they are now chiefly found by a cruel slave code. Happily for both races, they are now free. They have, from a standpoint of ignorance and poverty, which was our shame, not theirs, made remarkable advances in education, and in the acquisition of property. They have, as a people, shown themselves to be friendly and faithful toward the white race under temptations of tremendous strength. They have their representatives in the national cemeteries, where a grateful government has gathered tho ashes of those who died in its defense. They have furnished to onr regular army regiments that have won high praise from their commanding officers for courage and soldierly qualities, and for fidelity to the enlistment oath. In civil life they are now the toilers of their communities, making their full contribution to the widening streams of prosperity which these communities are receiving. Their sudden withdrawal would stop E reduction and briDg disorder into the houseold as well as the shop. Generally they do not desire to quit their homes, and their employers resent the interference of the emigration agents who seek to stimulate such a desire. But, notwithstanding all this, in many parts of our country, where the colpred population is large, the peopl - of that race are, by various devices, deprived of any effective exercise of their political rights and of many of their civil rights. The wrong does not expend itself upon those whose votes are suppressed. Every constituency in the Union is wronged. It has been the hope of every patriot that a sense of justice and respect for the law would work a gradual cure for these flagrant evils. Surely, no one supposes that the present can be accepted as a permanent condition. If it is said that these communities must work out this problem for themselves, we have a right to ask whether they are at work upon it. Do they suggest any solution? When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he, in fact, to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law? When is that equality of influence which our form of government has intended to secure to the electors to be restored ? This generation should courageously face these grave questions, and not leave them as a heritage of woe to the next. The consultation should proceed with candor, calmness, and great patience, upon the lines of justice and humanity, • not of prejudice and cruelty. No question in our country can be at rest except upon the firm basis of justice and of the law. I earnestly invoke the attention of Congress to the consideration of such measures within its well defined constitutional powers as will secure to all our people a free exercise of the right of suffrage and every other civil right under the Constitution and laws of the United States.

Supervision of National Elections. Evil, however deplorable, can not justify the assertion either on the part of the Executive or of Congress of powerß not granted; but both will be highly blamable if all the powers granted are |not wisely but firmly used to correct these evils. The power to take the whole direction and control of the election of members of the House of Representatives is clearly shown by the General Government. A partial and qualified supervision of these elections is now provided for by law, and in my opinion this law may be so strengthened and extended as to secure on the whole better results than can be attained by a law taking all the processes of such election into Federal control. The colored man should be protected in all of his relations to the Federal Government, whether a litigant, juror, or witness in our courts, as an elector for members of Congress, or as a peaceful traveler upon our interstate railways. Our Merchant Marine. There is nothing more justly humiliating to the national pride and nothing more hurtful to the national prosperity than the inferiority of our merchant marine compared with that of other nations. It was not always so, and our people are agreed, I think, that it shall not continue to be so. That the great steamship lines sailing under the flags of England, France, Germany, . Spain and Italy, and engaged in foreign commerce, were promoted, and have since been and now are liberally aided, by grants of public money, in one form or another, is generally known. That the American lines of steamships havo been abandoned by us to an unequal contest with the aided lines of other nations until they have been withdrawn, or, in the few cases where they are still maintained, are subject to serious disadvantages, is a matter of common knowledge. The present situation is such that travelers and merchandise find Liverpool often a necessary intermediate port between New York and some of the South American capitals. The fact that some of the delegates from South American states to the conference of American nations now in session at Washington reached our shores by reversing that line of travel, is very conclusive of the need of such a conference and very suggestive as to the first and most necessary step in the direction cf fuller and more beneficial intercourse with nations that are now our neighbors upon the lint s of latitude, but not upon the lines of established commercial intercourse. Our foreign Commerce. I am an advocate of economy in our national expenditures, but it is a misuse of terms to make this word describe a policy that withholds an expenditure for the purpose of extending our foreign commerce. The enlargement and improvement of our merchant marine, the development of a sufficient body of trained American seamen. the promotion of rapid and regular mail communication between the ports of other countries and our own and the adoption of large and swift American merchant steamships to naval uses, in time of war, are public purposes of the highest concern. The enlarged participation ox our people in the carrying trade, the new and increased markets that will be opened for the products of our farms and factories and the fuller and better employment of our mechanics, - which will result" from" a liberal promotion of our foreign commerce, insure the widest possible diffusion of benefit to all the States and to our people. Everything is most propitious for the present inauguration of a liberal and progressive policy upon this subject, and we should enter upon it with promptness and decision. The legislation which I have suggested, it is sincerely believed, will promote the peace and honor of our country and the prosperity and security of the people. I invoke the diligent and serious attention of Congress to the consideration of these and such other measures as may be presented, having the same great end in view. _ , Benjamin Habrison.

C., December 3,1889; The latest society fad is said to be the “lemon party.” Probably the chief attraction will be the squeezing, and we predict a great popularity for it.— American Commercial Traveller.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

BE PORT OF THE COMMISSION FOB THE PAST TEAR. The Merit System of Appointment and Promotion Landed Sundry Recommendations—The Public-Debt Statement Shows a Decrease of Nearly *5,000,000 In Our Obligations. The annual report of the Civil Service Commission is a rigorously written document, considerable of it being devoted to the laudation of the “merit” system, and, by implication a denunciation of the patronage system. The Commissioners claim that the advantages of the former have now been demonstrated beyond any dispute. Tney declare that the criticism of the politicians that the examinations are not practical are very far from the truth, and show that the questions are invariably framed with due regard to the particular class of work upon which the applicants for position are to enter. It is further claimed that the examinations are conducted with strict impartiality and that every effort has been made by the commissioners to prevent violations and evasions of the law. The commission recommends that they be given power to administer oaths, as they are now directed by law to make examinations touching the enforcement and effect of civil service rules; that local boards of examiners be made up of persons not in the government employ, so that they may be independent of the appointing officers, or, better still, that a central board of twenty examiners be established at Washington, who shall mark all papers, and, finally, that the appropriations for the support of the commission be increased. In this connection it is stated that the clerical force employed during the year has been overworked, and that, notwithstanding this fact, the marking of examination papers was fully two months in arrears at the end of the year. The present force in the employ of the commission numbers fourteen, and an increase of eight is asked. The estimate ot the expenditures for the coming year is $53,000, provided there be no extension of the system, but this the commission think is ad visable.

MORMON ISM IN MANITOBA.

The Settlement There in a Flourishing Condition. Ottawa (Ont.) dispatch: Mr. Parmalee, assistant minister of agriculture, who has just returned from visiting the Mormon settlement ip the Northwest, says they have turned the wilderness into a garden in two years, and are far 'ahead of their neighbors. He saw no objection to their colonizing in large numbers the big block of land they had just purchased, provided they obeyed the laws. He did not thinic they would attempt to practioe polygamy.

Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup.

There is certainly something remarkable In this preparation, as it is meeting with a success never attained by any other medicine. It never tails if used as directed. For over twenty years I have been a great sufferer from the effects of a diseased stomach, and for three years past have been unable to do business. Two years ago my case was pronounced incurable. I visited different water cures and climates, all to no purpose. Last June I began taking Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup (prepared by Rheumatic Syrup Co.. Jacksou. Mich.), and at once began to feel better. I have used thirteen bottles and am a well man. Edward Baker. Master Mechanic and Blacksmith. 202 Jackson street, Jackson. Mich.

No Escape for Them.

A good story is told about a young Rockland, Me., couple recently married. They were plentifully beshowered with rice as they left for the noon train after the wedding, buton the ears they assumed the airs of an old married couple, hoping to escape detection. They got out at the Union station, Portland, and as it was raining the groom spread the protecting folds of his new nmbrella over his bride. As the nmbrelis went np, two quarts of rice which had been carefully stowed within came down. The hurrying throng saw the rice, the blushing couple, and "0 iught on."

A Puzzle.

Why grows meu and women with matured reflective powers should neglect their small ailments is really a puzzle. Hosts of otherwise sensible people thus bewilder conjecture. It is one of the things which, as the late lamented Lord Dundreary exclaimed, “no fellah can find out.” Diseases grow faster than weeds, and, moreover, beget one another. Incipient indigestion, a touch of biliousness, slight irregularity in the habit of body—what complex and serious bodily disturbance, not local, but general, do they beget, if disregarded. Baffle and drive off the foe at the first onset with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, sovereign among preventives. A constitution invigorated, a circulation enriched, a brain and stomach tranquilized by this national medicine, becomes well nigh invulnerable. The Bitters counteract malaria, rheumatism, and kidney complaint:
