new sensation. W c had been told
at the station that it was .1 "good
and level road;" .aid to those accus
tomed to going nrrr the mountains,
this road along the valley doubt
less seemed to be of a very easy
grade. Hut the valley is narrow
and crooked, and to save distance
the road, instead of following all
the sinuosities of the stream, fre
quently runs across t he bends and
in doing so goe a little way up the
side of the high hills or mountains
whose bases lie almost at the bank,
and descends again to nass for a
distance along the very edge of the
stream or perhaps to cross it. At
such a "crisis" he never failed to
exclaim in apparent disgust and
with a manner eminently dramatic:
) vps, this i.v a level road. ctly

As we ascend the valley

that we see it exerci.sing good m-iis,-ou
this important .p.'.estion;
About forty nine j 1 , 1 cent ol the
people ot this Stat e c ' n not read and
write;ouly three percent ot the peo
pie ol Iowa are illiterate to mat ex
tent. The illiteracy ot I'eorgi.i is a
result of the war. so t.u . at least, as
the citi.en hip ot cidoied people is
concerned. The pension charge is
also an incident ot the war. The
payment ot pensions is legitimate;
tho education 111 self defense of coti
gressmakers is alo legitimate.
Now, while Cieorgia is heavily taxed
to pay pensions to the ex soldiers
of Iowa, why should not Iowa be
lightly taxed to educate the people
that Iowa assisted iu turning into
citizens? Or, rather, why should
the people ot Georgia object, under
the circumstances, to government
aid in educating the great mass ot
illiterates that are entitled to ail the
rights of citizenshii under the four
teenth amendment ? t
Th:8 is eminently a practicd 1
question. The people of t he Sou: h (

''" ' i a 1 nut 0 1 ' A'c)7 h Ciiiolinn :
Sll;: lnle 1 am rcouiied to
make only biennial reports, I deem
it pi ei now to state to your Tlx
1 celleliey bi lelly some I acts coll 11 ec t
ed with the operation id the public
school systeni during the year end
mg November .'ioth, 18S., and to
compare that year with the preced
ing year. The following compara
tive statistics will serve to give, at
least, a general insight into the
piogro-s we are making, and. I
: 1 us', will be of public interest. In
.11 living at these figures. 111 all
cases in which the reports for
either y ear wt-te not full, because
of t he failure of county superintend
ents and county treasure! tore
port. 1 used the reports of the vear
next preceding. In this way, while
lor a tew counties there is not accuracy-,
the approximation is so
near to the truth, that the figures
can be relied on.
It wiil be observed that there
was ;in 1 nci ease in the receipts from
ordin.uy taxation amounting to
?" 1 .(i'.hi.oS 1 fifty one thousand six
hundred and ninety three oS UK)
dollars, and that there was a cor
responding increase in the average
length ot school terms of about one
week l..r hot h races.
It will be noticed also, that the
census, enrollment, and average
attendance increased very nearly
t he s.i me.
)ut ol o ;u, 1 l'7 children between
the ages of six and twenty-one L"J8.
l'.o attended the public schools last
year. If we would add to this the
number 111 private schools within
t he school age. the whole number
attending school would probably be
increased to .".jo.uoo. When we
consider the fact that quite a large
number of small children within
the school age do not go to school,
and that quite a large number of
older ones drop out of school before
t hey reach t he age of twenty one,
the fact appears that a very large
proportion of the children are get
ting at least some education.
"ne ot the lamentable considera
tions is that so many of the poorest
pvople do not avail themselves of
the facilities afforded them. If in
fluential men 111 the respective
neighborhoods would encourage
such people by advice anil other
wise, many could be iinluced to send
their children to school. "Both the
Normal School and Institute statis
tics show large attendance and im-'
ply. what is the truth, that the i
teachers arc improving. Our Nor
mal schools and County Institutes
and the Teachers' Assembly are in
spiring the teachers with a high
ideal, and are doing great good.
W hile quite a number ot school
houses have been built during the
sear, the figures show that the val
uation of school property is very
small, and that the State is sadly
deficient 111 this item of prime im
portance. The statistics on this
subject do not include graded school
property. Many of the graded
school-, have excellent, well-nr-raiig,
d and w ell lurnished build-
I Ilgs.
The ss iiule amount of money raised
by ordinary taxatiou in 1&S was
i'31,!U)4.oSi six hundred ami thirty
one t housand uiuc hundred and four
doilars and thirty eight cents. This
amount does not iuclude at least a
part of the luuds raised under au
thority of special acts ofxVssembly
in support of graded schools. The
system of reporting is such that it
is impossible in some cases to sepa
rate these special funds from the
general funds.
I have not been able to get full
statistics of the graded schools, but
1 can safely state that these schools
are managed by live, progressive
men. both as to their local Hoards
and superintendents, and that they
are doi pg great good.
I'l'-'ii the whole, our educational
outlook :s encouraging in e-.ery as
pect except one. 'there is not
noiigh money -applied to meet the
constitutional obligation ot four
months' schooling. The Supreme
u;t his icceiitlv declared uncon-

in moving to refer this communication
to the committee on the Judiciary, that
it has very vividly brought to my mind
the communication of Kmc; Charles I to
Parliament, in telling tiicm v. I. at in
conducting their alfairs thev ou-ht to
do and ought not to do. Ami I think I
am safe in saying that it is tho tirst time
in the history of the United States that
any President of the Unit d States lias
undertaken to interfere with the delib
erations of either House lI Cc ch-.-s n
questions pending before tn-.m. other
wise than by message? t n ti.o state of
the Union, which the Constitution com
mand him to make from time to time.
This message is devoted solely t the
question for the Senate itself. 111 regard
to itself, that it lias undcrcomideration.
I think it will strike reilecting people in
this county- as so me what extra., rd ma ry .
if, in these days of reform, anything at
all can be thought extraordinary. I
move that the message- tie referred to
the committee on the judiciary.

Senators were unwilling to trust tho

'J ho debate lasted without interrup
tion until li o clock. The remaining
spea r. were Messrs. Hale. Harrison,
I'latt. Plair. Edmunds, Logan. Dolph
-ill Hoar. Several amendments were
; resented and ordered printed, svhen
the Senate adjourned.
H- ts;:. The morning hour expired
without action being reached upon any
measure. The House then went into
committee of tho Whole on tho Pension
Appropriation bill and general debate
began.
Mr. 'Wilson. of V. Va., made a stirring
speech in reply to one made a few days
ago by Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, in
which he defended the Commissioner
of Pensions and retorted upon Mr. Hen
derson his charge that by their vote
upon the increase of w idows pensions
Southern members had unfurled again
the bloody shirt. He said that this had
been done by Mr. Henderson himself, in
the inference he drew from his analysis
of that vote, and by Mr. Boutelle, re
cently, in criticising Southern people for
raising a few modest monuments to their
friends who had died indefence of their
.pinions.
Mr. Materson, of Ind ., also defended
Commissioner Black and the House
Pension Committee.
Mr. Hammond, of Ga., ?aid that it had
been the principle of the Democratic
party svhen in power, that when a man
t ecame a Dublicomcer he might think
S juth had extra or : '

answered the argument of the gcntle
m in from Iowa, Henderson) when he
arraigned Southern members for voting
a

:'ch that the Constitution had been

c uidemnatiou of argument and needed
no more reply than when he consigned
the Confederates to hell, and then in-
un -.lied hell by a promise to go there
v. ith them. '"Laughter and applause.
Mr. Butterworth closed the debate in
a long speech full of humor and sar
casm , and generally ; very wide pf the
;. ouestion under consideration. It took
; n tht-svhole range of recent political
v. lN events, and partially dwelt upon the

was ailowed to make
whea a division had
anotb.tr speech
been cail. d for. Th.e re?ponsi.;i:i:y was
between the Senator from Kansas and
the President , f the Senate, He (Rid
dlebcrger) had heard it said that what
, ever he said in the Senate was generally
"sat upon." He did not care for that,
however, since he knew he was right.
"I am struggling for the passage of this
bill," he said, " and am going to con
tinue that struggle under the rules of
the Senate, and you can't take from
that desk the book that ought to control
you and within it a rule that justifies
your ruling awhile ago. "
The President pro tempore began to
reply, but was interrupted by Mr. Rid
dleberger. The Chair again said the
Senator from Virginia will please not
interrupt the Chair. The Senator did
not call for a division or for the yeas
ana nays, but when the Senator from
Kansas (Plumb) was advancing an ar-
gument on the bill, the Senator from
Virginia (Riddleberger) then rose and
demanded a division. It was then too
late. The Chair says kindly, but firmly,
to the Senator from Virginia that he has
not sought to discriminate against him
in the slightest degree. He is mistaken
in that On the contrary, the Chair has
often done the reverse and appeals to
the Senator from Virginia to withdraw
that imputation, that the Chair had
ever discriminated against him or
sought to deprive him of his rights. The
point of order is overruled.

After further
remarks the veas and
nays were ordered on the Dolph amend
ment, on which a viva voce vote had
been taken, and pending a call the Sen
ate went into executive session. When
the doors were reopened the Senate ad
journed. House. The Speaker laid before the
House the message of the President on
Chinese troubles, which was read by the
clerk, and referred to the committee on
foreign aiTairs.
The House consumed the morning
hour in committee of the whole in con
sideration of the bill authorizing the
appointment of a commission to carry
on tests of iron, steel and other struc
tural materials. Pending action, the
committee rose and then the House
again went into committee on the Pen
sion Appropriations bill.
Mr. Butterworth resumed his speech
which begun yesterday, and continued
in the same vein as yesterday, a general
range of political subjects without much
reference to the bill under discussion.
Mr. Norwood, of Ga.. made nn imni.
cal speech in reply to that delivered by
Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, some davs
since, ridiculing that gentleman's pro
session of friendship for the South; but
expressing his admiration for the man
ner in which he had decla imed the old
storv was as well known in that coun
try as "the boy stood on the V urning
deck. "or '-Mary had a little lamb"
Laughter.
Mr. Breckenridge, of Ky., guided the
discussion away from the channels of
politics into which it had flown and
brought it back to the consideration of
the general question of the pensions
system. He expressed himself in favor
of liheral
quent peroration descriptive of the
beautiful cemetery at Lexington, which
contained grace of fathers and sons and
: brothers who had fallen in opposing
1 ranks in the terrific struggle of war
and of the peaceful lives of the descend
ants of those men who though they had
I been divided in sense of duty, had never
i been divided in their love. "As an
American representative," he said,
"treating of American questions, loving
, American people, denying that this is a
paternal government, denying that
taxes should be wrung from the people
