HOW FAR APART ?

If the Marietta Journal only un-
derstood itself and Dr.. HaygOOd, it
would see that they are not so far
apart after all.-MoNrOe Advertiser.
DR.. HaygOod is 10 favor of the
government taxing the people to ed
ucate the negro. We are not.
DR.. Haygood is 10 favor of whites
practicing social equality by teach
ing negro schools. We are not
How "far apart" are we, Bro.
Waterman 7
DR.. HaygOod either honestly
means what be says or he does not.
If be is sincere then he will practice
what he breaches. If he is not sim
cere be is a hypOcrite. And if a
hypocrite, be is raising aspirations
and hopes in the negro's breast that
be will not crafty. To raise hopes
aud not crafty them is the very re-
6nement of cruelty. To teach me-
gro school is to place ones self on
social equality with the pupils. 1t
cannot in the nature of things be
otherwise. And be who teaches
such a pernicious doctrine is mistak :
en- as to his mission 10 this world and
calculated to do much harm to both
races. If DR.. HaygoOd has such
tastes, then there is no accounting
for tastes, AS the fellow said when
the monkey kissed the babOon's sis
ter.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE
SCHOOLS.

The other day Mr.. Wickersham,
at the Ocean Grove Educational
Convention, advocated national aid
to the public schools of the South
only, claiming that the other sec
tions were able to maintain their
own schools. The Courier j ournsl
comes out strongly against govern
ment aid in this shape, and in the
course Of it's remarks says:
Look at the drift of the discuss
sion of this subject, generally in the
Republican papers. They do not
propose that Federal aid shall be ex-
tended to Northern States, but they
take pains to declare that the pro-
posed system shall be actualized on
" 10 the Southern States, which are
assumed by them to be paupers.--
Once introduce the system, however,
in section and it will spread over
the whole area of the country, and
FROM occasional Congressional ap|
preparations the Federal said" will
be transmitted into one of the most
dangerous forms Of Federal control
over the people of the States. The
process may begin with apparent
harmIessuess it will end in great
mischief.
We shall have, as in European
countries, where the common schools
are run by tbs government, certiti
Gated schoolmasters, who will be
the supple and and servile creatures
of the Federal government, trained
by a centralized authority and thor
oughly understanding that they mus'
be Ioya; to the party in power and
assist, as much as in them lies, in
the advancement of those political
interests. We have all heard great
deal about the Prussian school sys-
tenn, which is a strongly centralized
one. The education of Prussian
children is conducted by the govern"
ment exclusively. Il is compulsory,
and there is no fault to find with
that; but in Prussia a selfish politi,
cal purpose stands back of the syS-
tenn, or rather underlies the system.
Horace Mann observed the defects
of the 9ystem years ago when he
was in Prussia. The system is sub
stantialIy the same now, and Mann
observed that the power of the gov
eminent presses upon the partially
developed faculties of the youth as
with a mountains weight. When
the children come out of school they
have little use for the faculties that
have been developed, or for the
knowledge that has been acquired.
There Government steps in and
takes cares of the subject, almost as
much as the subject takes care of
bis CATTLE"

EVERY TUB ON ITS OWN BOTTOM
Cuthbert Enterprise.

Dor position is that if the negro
wants to be educated be has the
right to carry out bis wishes, but let
him do it at bis own expense, or the
expense of bis own race. Let him
pay bis own way by his own labor
Let the poll tax of the negroes be
apportioncd out among the negroes.
If a tax is to be levied for public
school fund for the negroes, let it be
levied on the property of the ne
groes. This much is theirs, and
they have right to it. Nor have
we any objection to their sharing
in the fund arising from the whisky
tax, the circus tax and one-third of
the railroad tax. This much can be
done without increasing the burdens
of the white man. Where the OBJ
legation arises for the white race to
assume tie responsibility of the ne
gro's education, we do not see.
We do not believe there is any such
obligation.

A HORSE oHoKED BY A SNAKE.

Superintendent Lyon, of the Bar
clay Coal Mines, was in the city on
Wednesday and told an Advertiser
reporter the following snake story,
the authenticity of which, he said,
could be vouched for by several re-
liable citizens: 'On Tuesday last q
boy engaged in blowing on the farm
of q man named Wilkinson, between
Greenwood and Monroeton, in Brad
ford county, when he saw an enOr-
nous black snake lying stretched
along on the ground near the fence.
Frig htened by the reptile the boy
dropped the lines and started on q
run for the house: Reinforced here
by several members of the family
he went back, when one of the
horses was found lying on the ground
with the python tightly coiled about
bis neck The snake was dispa ch :
ed, when it was found that the horse
was dead, his life having been chOk>
out by the snake.-EIWira Adver

The announcement of the discov-
cry of the original Noah's Ark, upon

is to be brought to America at once

the ocean have some what stated the
