THE EDUCATIONAL QUESTION:
While the general educational bill on
which Commissioner Orr depended
so much was defeated, the cause of
education was very much benefited
by special appropriation. The ex-
cess of taxes on inspection of ferti-
lizers and the surplus received from
the hire of convicts was turned over
for educational purposes, increasing
the fund about eighty or ninety
thousand dollars, which will be q
very material benefit. An appro>
priation of 50 900 was made to the
state university, which insures. we
learn, il being made free institu~
tion of learning, open to every
young man in the state without
price, if he can meet the qualities
tions set forth in its curricuIem -
Various special appropriations were
made to special educational enter
prises, including $40, 900 to The ag-
ricultural college at Dahlonega,
which will insure it's being built

A rival to the Standard Oil Com
pany of Pennsylvania is said to be
growing up ia California, where vast
quantities of undeveloped petroleum
exist. The waters of Santa Barbara
channel are covered for miles with
crude oil that is seeping away, and
the hollows in the mountain sides are
filling with asphsltum, produced by
this seepage. A few capitalists are
reported TO be buying up all this oil
territory, so as to obtain monopoly
of the production on the Pacific
coast, and to their efforts must be
sscrlbed the lack of full information
on the subject. s.sf .tt .4s s4sa5s

THE Temperance QUESTION.

While no general temperance bill
of Importance was passed by the
Legislature, the sale of liquors was
prohibited in great many counties,
by reason of the increase of the
liquor tax, to such figure as can"
not be paid. Secretary Harris in
forms us that the counties in which
the sale of liquor is now prohibited
amount to forty eight in the State,
