Senate Debates Bills on Education and Agriculture
In Washington the Senate considered Edmunds bills for a public school system in Utah and meat inspection plus food safety, with a call for proclamations by the President. Hoar proposed keeping current congressional districts until the 1890 census, sparking fears of gerrymandering. Pearce pushed an Agriculture Commission to study farming conditions, grain inspection, storage regulations, rail rates, tariffs, and interstate cereal inspection, due a report next session. In secret session, Morgan’s nomination as Indian commissioner faced sharp charges from Jones over his military record, while West pressed Catholic removal concerns. adjournment left the matter open with probable confirmations anticipated.
