The School of Technology.

The friends Of the movement TO estab-
lish a school OF technology in connection
with the University OF Georgia entertain
strong hopes that the bill of Representa-
tive Harris, of Bibb, now pending in the
General Assembly, will become a law.
Such schools wherever established under
proper auspices have been successful and
the demand for special instruction Of a
practical nature in the trades, arts and
sciences, is Increasing in every part of
the country. Several Southern UNIVERSE
ties have recently greatly improved and
enlarged their scientific and technical de-
partments.
A decided step in the direction of spe-
cial instruction of this kind has been
taken by the Directors of the North Caro-
lima Orphan Asylum, by the establish
il g Of a department for the industrial
training of children, but no regular school
Of technology will be attempte1ein, that
institution.
On Tuesday last a workshop was opened
in connection with that well-known Phil
adelphia Northumberland College.
There the students are 10 be taught how
TO handle and use mechanical tools so
that when they go out into the world
they will be in an advanced condition as
learners Of trades. The building is we'll
supplied with benches, tools and machines,
such as drills, lathes, planning ma
chimes, ETC., sufficient to provide for the
instruction Of three or four hundred stu
cents twice each week.
The various industrial schools through
out the country are natural feeders of
schools OF technology, and the establish
ing OF such an institution as is contem-
plated Ia Georgia in the near future would
make II the chronological school not only
Of this State but OF the whole South, for
no school Of the kind yet exists in all this
section OF the Union. While IL would be
Of lnestimable value to the young men of
Georgia in giving them the benefit of the
best Of instruction and training free OF
charge, there can scarcely be doubt that
the patronage Of such a school from
other States would soon make 10 almost,
If not quite, self-sustaining. There are
many young men from the South, some

from Georgia, now attending al consider
able expense the Neurological Institute
al Boston; No doubt not only these, but
scores Of others, would be glad 70 secure
the benefit or the same instruction nearer
hOms, where the cost would be less, and
where the climate is not 50 trying On
those reared in the south.
The Iealing features Of Mr.. Harris bin
cannot Be too highly commended. BE
and his cOadjutOIs have given the subject
much careful study. and, while they are
enthusiastic, in justice It must be said
that their views are conservative, wise
and eminently practical. The General
Assembly viii do itself credit BY passing
the bill substantially as il has been re-
ported By the committee, and the trustees
Of the university can be relied on to es-
tablish the school on a solid basis with
the least possible delay.

The New York Weekly
Edition.

1t is scarcely necessary to call attention to
the announcement in our columns to-day
headed New York Herald" as the first line
is sufficient in itself to secure its being read.
The Herald is one of the institutions of the
country. Differ from it as you may, there is
no denying the fact that throughout the
world, civilized or otherwise, it is considered
the great newspaper of the Western CONT
nent. A traveller who, hailing from one of
the other large cities Of America and far
away from home, may inquire of the news
man for his local paper, but whether he sue
ceeds in getting a copy or not, he will in nine
cases out of ten also take Herald. 1t is re-
cognized by the ubiquitous American,
whether he halls from the North, South, East
OF West, as "his paper" for the time being
The Weekly Herald is an epitome of the great
daily, and in addition has an interesting farm
and literary department, making it good
paper for those living away from the larger
cities. The price is only 81 year.

Nearly all professions are accorded Pc
cuIiar privileges BY courts Of justice, and
the denial Of such privileges is not only
deemed against public policy, but direct
blow al the integrity and dignity OF the
profession concerned. Lawyers, physi-
clans, ministers, iurymen, and even pri-
yate persons when occupying specified
confidential relations are entitled 70 hold
certain communications sacred, and can
not be compelled legally to divulge them
in the courts. Journalists often receive
information from sources which it is not
only a breach Of professional faith TO be-
tray, but it is contrary to public policy 10
force them 70 do 50.
Judges, some Of whom have felt the
weight Of journalistic criticism, or who
have been jealous Of the power Of the
press. have in many instances been 10th to
accord 70 journalism its just place among
the honorable professions, and have often
,aken advantage Of the discretion given
ia regard TO punishment for contempt Of
court to exercise their power in
an arbitrary and unjust manner.
Judge BlOdgett, Of the Superior
Court, Boston, rendered a decision the
other day that recognizes the right Of
journalists to refuse to diyulge the au-
thorship Of privileged communications.
An article recently appeared in the Gt0be,
Of that city, which, it was charged, was
founded on a disclosure Of grand jury
secrets. The city editor and reporter
were summoned before the jury and the
name oftheir informant demanded. They
declined 70 answer, On the ground that
it would be unprOfessional and viola
ton Of secrecy enioined. The jury re-
ported the journalists 10 the Judge, and
demanded their punishment for contu-
macy. Alter taking a day 70 consider
the question. Judge Blodgett discharged
the defendants, holding that they should
not be forced to divulge the names Of the
persons who had given them the informa-
ton.
An analogous case is now pending be-
fore the Appellate Court Of Paris, the
decision Of which is looked for with inter-
est. The shrewdness Of certain reporters
enabled them TO gain admittance TO many
Anarchist meetings which the police and
detectives failed to attend, the proceed
ings Of which were published. The au-
thOrities, who were censured for the inef-
fcieucy Of their subalterns, were
much incensed at the report
ers, who were arrested and
committed 70 prison. After some days
they were arraigned and the names Of the
persons from whom they obtained the in
formation demanded. The prisoners
claimed the privilege Of professional Sc
crets. The magistrates refused to recog-
nize their plea and fined them 100 francs
each for cOntumacy. An appeal was
taken and the journalists were released
on bail.
While journalists are often called upon
in the pursuit Of their profession TO do
detective work, and while they often
develop high order Of talent il that line,
their obligation to the public is entirely
different from that Of an officer Of the law
or Of private citizen. They have rights
which the courts in all enlightened
countries must sooner or later respect,
and which will probably be more clearly
defined by judicial decisions in the near
future.

was the character Of MS pistols. In those
times the pistols in use were very long
and the barrels as thin as a fowling-
piece. The balls, also, were as large al
most as those Of musket, and the charge
was necessarily small to prevent their re-
coil from destroying the aim. His pistols
were Of this pattern, while mine, newly
arrived, were Of the new style, barrels as
heavy as those Of a rife and carrying a
ball not more than a half ounce in weight.

Rumored Bargains with Both Republi-

Rumored Bargains with Both Republi-
cans and Demo crst.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The Erenfng
Star tonight contains the following high
" interesting item: "For some time past
there have been vague rumors as to the
part the Prohibition ticket played in the
late Presidential election. Within the
past few days they have taken definite
shape, and the story now is that st. John
was bought up by the Democrats to re-
main in the field to draw voters from the
ranks of the Republicans. The sum
named is 5000. Pro minent Republicans
do not deny that their party endeayored
TO secure St. Johns withdra wal but
there are two explanations offered for
their failure. One is that they were SIM
ply Outbidden by the Democrats. The
other, which is said to be the generally
accepted one, as told a Star reporter to-
day, is that early in the fight st. John
agreed with the Republican managers to
make his campaign a harmless one, and
eventually withdraw from the field, if
necessary, so as not TO injure the Republic
can chances, the consideration being $50
00O. After the Ohio October election. ii
is said, the Republicans felt that thay
needed no assistance, and seemed loath to
abide by the arrangement
1t is said that $3S, 900
then being offered from the other side,
st. John accepted the offer and remained
in the field, thereby drawing voters from
the Republican ranks. This is given as
the reason why the report that events i'm
mediately preceding the election would
insure the election of Blaine, meaning
St. Johns retirement, did not materialize.
These are the stories as talked
about by those who are
supposed to have been on the in
side. One Of the prominent Republicans
of the district is known to have stated
the other day that st. John would have
withdrawn from the field for a considera-
ton offered, and given the election to the
Republicans, but that the Democrats
made higher bid. The Republican Of
fer, as he stated, was $4,000, while the
Democrats made it $50, 0O0.D

The New Orleans Times Democrat does
not now appear to think that war tariff
is absolutely essential to Southern pig
iron producers. 1t says, editorially: cit
may be mentioned that Prof. Shaler, the
distinguished geOlOgist Of Harvard Uni
versity, tells, in one of his able papers, of
a locality south of Mason and Dixon's
line where iron can be made easily at a
cost of IS 30 ton. The point referred to
by Prof. Shaler is only one among hum
dreds where that or nearly that can be
accomplished in the near future. The
subject is replete with interest to capt.
talists." And yet some Of the protection
organs in the South continue to deny facts
that are being proved every day by actual
sales

Arguments Before the Railroad
Commission.

We give full extracts this morning from
the arguments which have been made by
Mai. Wallace, Of the Railroad Commits
sion, and President Raoul, Of the Central
Railroad, before the Senate Railroad Com
mi-tee, relative to the bill to modify the
Railroad Commission law. There is no
matter pending in the Leg
islature in which the people
are more deeply interested than the
effort that IS being made TO give the rail-
road companies, rather. than the railroad
commission, the management Of their
business.
While the people want commission to
see that they are not made to
suffer from unjust discrimination,
they are not disposed to insist
upon the exercise OF powers that
tend not only to check railroad building
and, consequently, the development of the
State, but threaten TO ruin the roads al
ready in operation.
What they want TO know, therefore, is
whether the powers now exercised by the
commission are damaging to the railroads
and an obstruction to railroad building.
On this point they can get good deal Of
information from the arguments Of Maj
Wallace and President Raoul.
We 90 not know what Maj. Wallace
has in reserve, but it seems to us that in
presenting the commissions side Of the
case he was not as frank as he might have
been.
If we are mistaken in this we do not I'M
derstand President Raoul's figures. Maj
Wallace seems to have proceeded on the
idea that in determining the question
whether the Central Railroad was a
paying investment or not, the earn
ings Of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany ought to be considered.
The steamship line is very prosperous and
provides the greater part of the dividend
which the Central Railroad Company pays
its stockholders, but in considering the
earnings of the Central Railroad ought
the earnings of the steamship company
be included?
