rOOT LONG ENOUGH.

BY some strange coincidence in lethar-
gy or misgovernment for many success
sive decades the United States census has
shown that North Carolina and her
daughter, Tennessee, enjoy the unenVi-
able distinction of being respectively first
and second in the list of States when ar
ranged in the order of popular ignorance.
How two great States, each most highly
favored by nature; both conspicuous in
the annals of the nation-one brilliantly
so-should for this long period have been
satisfied with position thus mortifyingly
notorious we will not now stop TO in
quire. OF one thing, though, we are GER
tain, to-wit: that it is high time to re-
nOunce this bad pre-eminence. We very
well know that many persons, in view of
the sad financial condition of the State
government, are disposed TO take the
ground that nothing can be done at pres
ent toward establishing an efficient system
of public schools from Carter 10 Shelby;
and that hence for generation or two
longer we must drag ON in the rear of all
our sister States. From this view We
altogether dissent. Each individual in
Tennessee should have such an elementary
education as fits for usefulness in society.
Private enterprise cannot accomplish this
great work, no more than it can provide
the machinery for the administration OF
| Justice. The State alone has the power
and the wealth to do both. 1t should
no more neglect the one than the
other. 1t cannot prosper as ii may and
should, unless both are a. least respectfully
performed. Whatever else is left undone
the administration of justice and the edu-
cation of the people are the great func-
tions devolvipg upon the State govern
ments in our vast Union-functions
which bring them in direct contact with
every individual and endear them to all
hearts. To neglect or abandon either is
| virtually to abdicste, and to proclaim to
the world unitness for existence as a
State.
Tennessee is now starting out upon
new career, after a mighty civil revolu-
ton, with a constitution based upon the
order brought out of recent political and
social chaos. This constitution fully and
emphatically recognizes the obligation of
the State to educate her citizens. 1t is
for many reasons desirable that no delay
be permitted in carrying fully into effect
the letter and the spirit of our fundamen-
tai law. We therefore heartily second
the effort now making by the Teachers
State Association to arouse the attention
of electors and elected TO this momentous

REFERRING TO the opinion expressed by
the Commissioner of Pensions, that the
prosecution of Roderick Random Butler,
for dishonest practices towards the Gov.
eminent pensioners and the Pension
Bureau, will not be abandoned, and also
that all the papers necessary are now in
the hands of the Attorney General, who
will instruct the District Attorney al
Washington to proceed with the prosecu
ton as soon as Butler arrives there, the
New York Tribune says:
"We give hearty commentator Il
the reported purpose of the Commits.
sioner of Pensions to continue the prose,
cution of Roderick r. Butler for pension
frauds, without the slightest reference tC
his reelection. If Mr.. Butler is found
guilty, the House can soon relieve the
question of any embarrassment srising
from his membership. The existence OF
such charges against Republican Con-
gresham is disgrace; failure to punish
such guilt Gf guilt be proved would be
infamy. Let. Butler face the investiga
ton, and let us have verdict without
fear or favor"

NASHVILLE UNION AMERICAN SATURDAY.


Athird glsring mischief of the age Is its
official corruption. But this we hold to
be the natural result of that political
patronage that consolidation accumulates,
and that power of pelf that aecrues TO
monopolies. Check consolidation, re-
move monopolies; and corruption will
disappear with what ii feeds upon.
And, so, here are the live issues that
Democracy presents-the cardinal points
by which we would steer the ship of
State:
Simple, cheap, honest government.
Local control of local affairs.
Protection TO all privileges to none,
above his fellows.
Who brings dead flowers? Not We.

What a BostonIan Thinks.

The Adams IN. " Visitor speaks Of an emf
nent BOstonian who regarded an advertise
ment in q newspaper as personal invitation
to call, and said: "While sometimes hesitate
about entering store the proprietors Of which
have not thus sent their cards to my residence
always feel certain of cordial welcome
from the members of an advertising firm
The same paper adds: There is in this re-
mark an assurance of one Of the many results
of advertising. The trader and his calling be-
como identified, and the name Of the man is in
separately connected in the mind of the public
with his merchandise. 1t may not be the very
day an advertisement appears that it bears its
fruit; weeks or months may elapse, and then,
when the want arises, the article TO be OBJ
tanned Immediately suggests the advertiser.
This is the effect of general advertising when
persistently followed. A special class Of adj
ycrtisements, where some novelty is announced
is more immediate. A shrewd business man
once advertised a trifling article in manner
which could scarcely prove remunerative: His
neighbors expressed their regret at his folly
but he appeared contented. Though his gross
sales of the article did not cover the cost of his
advertising, he attracted new class Of people
to his store and his shrewdness paid him in
very short time, for new eyes saw what he had
to offer in addition TO the speciality advertised,
and new purses came under contribution to
