We regret to see the Tribune boys
in so much trouble about the Knox~
vile post-office, but as President
Garfield succeeded in selecting a
good Cabinet without the aid of
their advice, we presume he will be
able to manage this question alone
without their aid.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The year just closed has witnessed great progress in the work of popu lar education. The educational re- ports of nearly every state show facts that are full of encouragement An increased expenditure of money for free schools, the erection of an un- precedented number of school build ings, a demand for higher quaifca- tions in teachers, the introduction of improved text books and methods of instruction are among the sub stantial achievements Of the year.
 It is noticeable, too, that supe:in dents of Public Instruction and the leading educators of the whole coun- try manifest an earnest desire for cooperative effort. They have es tabished facilities for the frequent and ready interchange of thought, so that any valuable idea, any advance step, soon becomes the common property of all the schools.
 The favorable consideration by Congress of the National Education al Bill shows that our statesmen of all sections and all parties are be- coming thoroughly interested in ed ucational matters. They see the danger of ignorant suffrage, and are determined to mitigate it. It is a good work and one in which there can be no party lines nor partisan l feeling.

ground The tide of seasons is ev- CT at the food, and rolls fast and headlong. Childhood, with it's pratt ting and it's archness--youth, with it's strength and enthusiasm matu rity with its care and thoughtfulness how their hours and years rush by!
 But we have digressed. We start ed out to write of the New Year. Let us hope that in this gracious and hallowed time two lessons may be learned which are just now, more than ever needed. Now that the ties of family affection are being strengthened by grateful amenities, by the interchange of gifts and the expression of kindly wishes, the brother hood that exists between all who bear the divine image should not be forgotten. And at this time when political animosities are so bitter, It should be remembered that the reign of Him whom Christians profess to serve, was ushercd in by an annunciation of Peace, and that his farewell legacy to his deciples was "peacem
 If those who are striving through ignorance or yindictlveness to fo. ment sectional arrangement and keep the country divided against itself, will but ponder this one as pect of the New Year season, harmo. ny and the spirit of fellowship will be restored and our people will once more become united an Il happy; and then when the old good feeling and old good nature are re- established we will as a, nation and individuals have many another happy and joy ous New Year.

The substitute proposed for the funding bill appropriates of the coin now in the treasury at Washington the sum of $l00,000 for the payment of the interest bearing debt of the United States falling due during 1881, and directs tue secretary of the treasury to cause to be colned the maximum amount of silver dol lars in the manner now authorized by law, and to pay out such dollars in the redemption of the public debt. Section two repeals all laws author izing the issuing of bonds for the purpose of funding or redeeming the interest bearing debt of the United States.

 Why are we compelled to send It to Europe? Because they have the spindlcs and VIC have not. The spindles are four thousand miles from tho cotton fields now, and we, the cotton growers, have it in our power to put them up in the cotton states, and spin the new cotton into thread and balcs of your yarn worth from $50 to $I00 q bale.

The condition of the negroes in Kansas and Indiana is beginning to excite some concern, and much suffering among them this winter is predicted. Only small proportion of the emigrants are able to earn a living, many of them being too old. too young or too feeble to work; and greater mortality from starvation and exposure is looked for than oc- cured in 1879.

THE NEW YEAR.

The transition from one New Year to another apparently takes but a little while. Like the present days whether crisp and brilliant or dim and dnll-they are soon gone. The gleaming sun marches swiftly across the sky. The western Heavens soon glow with his setting splendor, and the deep shadow of the night comes over the land, and the timId stars are trembling in the vault overhead. The days and years seem brief, Tn ceed, and pass very quickly.
 Life is exactly like them-a wing ed day. Every body knows this. Everybody who dares to stand still in this whirling, skurrying existence, and devote q few moments to sober reflection, will have q full realization of the fleetness with which he is getting over the allotted'

THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.

The United States Senate, just before the holiday recess of Congress was takan, passed bill setting apart the net proceeds of the sales of pub lie lands for the education under the public school system, of all the chil- dren of the States between tho ages of five and twenty years.
 This bill passed the Senate almost unanimously, and will no doubt, in the same manner pass the House and become law. No more important measure was ever passed in Congress or any State legislature, and this fund, which will be several millions, when added to the State's common school fund, will afford common school in every district in the Uni ted States.
 The Memphis Avalanche gives tEe following synopsis of the bill:
 It is provided by the national educational bill as it has passed the senate, that the net proceeds of sales of public lands and of patents are forever set apart for the educa- ton of the people. The secretary or the treasury shall yearly apportion to the several states and territories and the District of Columbia, upon the basis of population between the ages of , and 20 years, the said net profits for the previous year, which shall be credited on the books of the treasury, as an educational fund, on which per cent. interest per annum is to be paid to the states as above; provided that for the first ten years the apportionment shall be made according to the numbers of the population of 10 years old and upward who cannot read and write, and provided, further, that one third of the income from said fund shall be annually appropriated to the com pleted endowment and support of colleges established, or which may be established under the act of 1862, until the amount annually thus ac. crueing to said colleges in each state shall reach $30,000, after which the whole income of said fund shall be appropriated by the said states, territories and district to the education of children between the ages of 6 and Is. The secretary of the treasury IS authorized to add to the fund any sums given to the Un- ited States for that purpose. A sum not exceeding 50 per cent. of the amount received by any state, etc, the first year, and not exceeding 10 per cent in any year thereafter, may be applied at discretion, to the main tapance of schools for the instruc- tion of teachers of common schools. To be entitled to the benefits of this act, any state, etc, must maintain for at least three months in each year until January l, 1885, and thereafter four months in each year, system of free pubic schools for all children between six and sixteen years of age. Any state, etc, mis. applying any of the money received under this act shall forfeit further grants until the amount so misap- piled shall have been replaced by said state, etc. Nothing contained in tue act shall be held to alter any previous law regarding the disposi- ton of public land, nor to limit the power of congress over the public domain, nor to interfere with grant. ing bounty land to soldiers and sail ors. The bill also authorizes col leges established under the act of 1882 to establish schools tor the technical educatlon O. women.

The above statement shows that our spindle, when put up, will con sume three times as much cotton as the same number in France and England.
 With 10,000,000 spindles in the cotton fields we could spin 1000 of bales of cotton into yarn from seed cotton. Thls would require an aver age of 200 mills to each cotton state of 5000 spindles; or 400 mills with 2500 spindes each. The latter size might be best to begin with, and en- large afterward. Arkansas has twenty five cotton counties, Then sixteen to the county would give the number of mills in the state, omit. ting fifty counties of the state. Sup pose the planters begin and build houses fer the spindles, only five . year, in three years they would nave the number required for the county. These mills after put into operation. would be peimrnent prop erty, owned by the planters and spinness, of great value to them and the country The profits then
