Our Colleges.

There is no moro potent influence for good
than education, whether III political, social,
moral, financial or religious point Of view. In
popular government it is tho pillar of strength
and wisdom. There The voice Of tho people is
the voice Of God, and knowing no superior it
should be directed and controlled hy q we'll
balanced mind and q sound judgment. The
social and moral world gathers strength and
pleasure from art literature and music, making
home attractive and giving cnjoy,scnt to our
leisure hours, instead OF thcir being wasted in
idlcncss or dissipation. In the money making
world and who does not look anxiousy for it,
edEation is The great lever and power, whether
We follow q profession or engage III other ayo-
cations. The mind controls and directs our
walk, our labor and our success in life, and it
should be trained and developed. In religious
affairs The moral and intellectual faculties arc so
closely allied that the development of one carrics
in great degree the other. II is in this
spiritual nature that man was created after the
image of Deity, and its expansion is the cxpan-
sion of tn, divinity i'll man 1t is our religious
duty to afford our children cvcry available
means of education Those with us src at our
our county and in This issue VIC advertise the
opening of Tho Adgcr and Wahala Female Col
lcgcs. The facility for education is greatly m-
proved in our county and the expenses arc
within the scope Of the means Of large pro-
portion Of our rcoplc. These institutions arc
young in years, but they arc we'll governed and
The course Of instruction is thorough. They
deserve patronage from their own morls and
tho highest interests of al parents should
prompt them TO avail themselves Of the ad-
vantages they offer. Let our people read their
advertisements and get ready TO send rs many
pupils as they can afford, to enter on the first
days Of the session. Our crops promise wei.
and We hope future prosperity awaits our people,
With such prospects We expect to SEQ larger
local patronage Of both institutions than ever
before.

Eho Republican Challenge,

1t ia less than two years since General
Garfield, on tho floor of Congress- painted the
following patriotic sketch for tho conduct Of
the Presidential campaign Of 1880:
Ike man who attempts to get up political
excitement in this country on tho old scc-
tional issues will ind aisn.snlf without party
and without support. The man who waits
to servo his country must put hlmsclfin in lno
OF its leading thought, and that is tho rcstoA
ration OF business, trade, commerce, industry,
sound political economy, bard money and
honest payment Of all obligations.
Circumstances unexpected by the artist
put him in q position two months ago, by his
sudden nomination as Presidential candis
date, to exert rs much influence as any other
man in the country to realize his own patri.
otto picture. Is it unfair to judge him out of
his own mouth and by his own behavior?
What has ho been doing this wcck2 Has he
been attempting "to got up political excite
mcnt on tho old sectional issucs," or to put
himself in tho limo Of tho country's leading
thought" Let tho proceedings of tho Roe
publican conference i'll this city on Thursday
answer.
Beyond pcradvonturo the four representa-
tive speakers in that conference wero Scna.
tors Blaino and Logan, Secretary Sherman
and Gen. Harrison. What did thcy sot up in
their speeches for tho issncs in this Prcsi.
Dental campaign2 Mr.. Blaine said that the
issue 10 whether "the men who fought the
civil war shall surrender to tho men who
fought against tho Unicn?" Mr.. Logan said
that it was whoher "tho loyal mon of this
land who stood by her constitution and flag
whom tho sword and 1nmo wcro applied to
tho temple" or "tho rchel army. and the
copporhcads Of tho North" shall have tho
"riSht to govern this country" Mr.. Sherman
said it is whether "tho Republican party shall
resign to tho solid South, headed by Wado
Hampton and tho Ku Klux Klan, and q
little segment in tho Northern States calling
itself tho Democratic party" Gen. Harrison
said it is chow VIC will dofcnd Washington
against tho enemy that onco opposed it in
arms" If these assertions arc not revival
of tho old sectional issues what arc thoy2

and melancholy exception that Mr.. Sherman
announced that tho Republican party has
"aoco.hplished al tho results it proposed to
accomplish of financial character" al.
though hundreds of millions of legal tonder
grccnbacks aro outstanding and oighty-cight
cent silver dollars arc coming monthly by
tho ton.
1t was entirely within tho powor of Gen.
Garfield to check this torrent of sectional
passion if ho had willed to do so. IIo sat in
an adjoining purlor aud knew what was do-
ing. At any limo between noon and six
o'clock, on Thursday, ho had only to walk
out of ono room into another and repeat his
own words, which wo bavo quoted at the be-
ginning of this article, to havo given IN en-
tircly different complexion to this Prosidcn,
tial campaign on tho Republican sdo from,
that which he has suffered it to assume. But
ho wifully withhold from Serving his coun- :
try" IIo wilfully ratified partisan policy
which he himself has stigmalzcd as SO unr
patriotic that tho man who pursues it des
serves to find himself "without party and
without support" IIo starts back to his
Ohio homo this morning with tho internal
consciousness, whatever show Of external
solidity ho may put on, of having been fnlsc
to hia own ideal Of patriotism. With his
full assent, by the concurrent voices Of his
party's leaders, "the old sectional issucs'
| nro adopted for tho main issues Of tho Ncpub-
lcan canvass, and "tho limo of tho country's
| lending though" is snbordinatod to them.
