SEVERAL days have elapsed since the
publication of the statement that Mr.. G..
w. CHILDs, of the Philadelphia Ledger, is
for the hero ofResumption for President, first,
last and all the time; but by some over
sight, no doubt, the Opposition press has
failed to rise and remark about the fitness
of the attachment, so TO speak, of the Great
Obituary Poet to the SHERMAN boom.
Before the remark is made, however, we
would admonish the said Opposition that
Mr.. CHILDs has never yet written an obit-
uary notice for one Of his Presidential can
didates.

THE State of Georgia, the Empire
State of the South, has made very good
progress in the matter Of public educa-
ton, but what it has done in that behalf
is but fraction of what it has to do to
meet the requirements of modern civliza-
ton. The school fund of the State
amounts to only 100000, while the
school population is four hundred and
thirty-three thousand four hundred forty
four. This only furnishes about sixty
nine cents head for the education Of
the pupils. The State School Commis-
sioner, Mr.. Orr, has suggested to the
Legislature some means by which this
fund could be increased without laying a
direct tax upon property. He recon-
mends that special tax be levied on
malt and spirituous liquors and
upon dogs. A law like the Mofiett
liquor law of Virginia, he thinks,
would save six or eight hundred
thousand dollars for school purposes,
while the dog tax would add $20O,ooC
more. The Mofett Law is still in forct
