TIE Southern papers have found

TIE Southern papers have found
another ground of complaint against
the Blair educational bill. One of
the provisions of the measure is that
no state shall receive a greater amount
of the sum appropriated than it at
present devotes to educational pur-
poses. In order to realize the full
benefit of the law, it will be necessary
for several southern states to double
the taxes now levied for schools.
Georgia, for instance, which now
raises about 100000 a year, will
have to raise more than $1,0O0,0O0.
This dreadful prospect brings forth
the most lugubrious walls from the
people of these regions, as they con.
template the idea of devoting SO much
money to the useless purpose of edu-
cation. TO people not quite benight-
ed, however, to double the appropria
tions for schools seems like a pretty
good thing, and the fact that the Blair
educational bill will force the south
ern states to do this, is only another
argument in it's faver.-Bee.

THE ground upon which Judge Po-
land, of Vermont, and a number of the
House Judiciary Committee opposed
woman's suffrage was stated in his re-
port. He said, ''the Office and duty
which nature devolved upon woman
during all the active and vigorous por-
ton of her life would often render it
impossible and still more indicate, for
her to appear and act in caucusses, con
ventions or elections, or to act as mem
Der of the legislature, or as juror OF
judge. l cannot bring myself to believe
that any large portion of the intelligent
women Of this country desire any such
thing granted, or they would perform
any such duties if chance offered them. "
This expresses the whole matter in a
very few words. AS long as men clear
headed enough to put the situation SO
tersely are on the Judiciary committee,
we fear the gentle Susan and her able
companions will beseech in vain.-Bee.

quois Club is good. In the background
stands Pendleton reading his PHILIPPE
against the spoils system, and in the

dleton seems to have hit them square
in the face, when he declared against
the spoils doctrine as taught and prac-
tieed by the Observation-Disclosures Jour

nifty to practice extensively, and that

been putting themselves in shape in the

Wrapped in the mantle of your intense
conceit, you may not understand it, but
the sentiment pervades the Republican

more exhibitors than appeared at the

whole it will be the biggest Exposition
