Compulsory Temperance Education.

The recent passage of a law in the
State OF New York making Temperance
e.ucat on compulsory in the public
schools calls attention aga n to this new
phase of Temperance agitation. The
schools To the regular teaching of the
effects of alcohol on the human system
is due to the Woman'S Christian Tenn
pcrance Union. and was first proposed
as an article of faith by Mrs. Mary III.
Hunt, who has the charge of its depart
ment OF Temperance instruction
1t was suggested by the great sreceSs
which has att. nded the establishment
Of Temperance schools under the s,:per-
vision of the WOmen's Christian Tenn
perance Union in various cities and
towns. In the little town of Melrose a
school of six hundred children gathers
every month for instruction in the prln-
ciples OF Temperance. The pupils ars
taught the effects of alcohol on the
body, mind and soul. and are grounded
in the physiological and moral injuries
inflicted by an Incorporate life. The
school is fortunate in being sble to Sc
cure the attendance of all classes, sAe
lfiSu NdtBOiiCS sS We'll III AllcIItiHS.
Many other schools, while s~s,aller than
that in Melrose, gather large numbers
of children, and have fully proved the
pract.cability of both interesting and
~lns'ructing even the youngest in the
fundamental principles of q temperate
lfe. The question arises, Whs can not
all children receive the same instruc-
ton. and thus be forewarned before he
actual temptations to in,emperance are
upon them? Why should not the teach
erS n the public schools De required to
lit themselves to teach the simple prin-
ciDles of physiology and hygiene with
the special purpose of warning the
pupil against the harmful elects of
stimulant| and narcotics?
Four States have answered that 40
good reasons exist WAY such instruction
should no. be gwen. 1t is noticeable
that The statute referring to the rb.ect
includes not only alcoholic dir aks. but
also st mulants and narcotics. Opium
n tobacco. as well rs Intoxicating
beverages, viii find them-elves pla ell
under fire when these new LAYS are put
in operation.
Ii Is never we'll to be sanyuip, OF tho
result OF any law; too many WAYS exist
by VII oh their provisions can be made
OF no effect But so far as may be seen.
II ahy honest e.iort is ma C on the part
of school committees and teachers I'd
carry out the spirit of this law. the re-
suit VIII be that the people of these
States will take n new lease OF life.
The elec. of such 4 law in a repre-
sentative state like New York will ba
with much interest, and n the
we hope that the question Of
.nactlng a similar law in Massachusetts
Will be tn roughly agitated and the
wishes OF the people be made known 70

this kind of Temperance wo K with no

The COp;ah Report

Persons who are IN the habit OF ask.
ing where Congress gets authority to
Investigate rOitc cal murders in Missis.
sippi are referred to the report of the ma
jOrity OF the Senate Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections in the Cop:ah af.
fair for IN answer. The tive eminent
lawyers who sign this report have NO
difficulty in finding constitutional au-
thority or inquiring into the method OF
conducting elections in the South, nor
do thew hesitate to 20 mt out the RENE
dy which the Constitution provides.
Mississippi has even representatives
in Congress; if only her white popula-
ton were included n the basis of repre-
sentation. she would have but three.
Her political power in the House OF
Representatives is more than doubled
bv reason of the enfranchisement o. her
colored population. II these people
are not permitted to vote. then they
ought not To- he counted in the appOr-
tionment of Representatives. TIE argu-
ment of the Committee upon this point
Is unanswerable, and they maintain that
it is not y merely discretionary matter
with Congress to reduce the representa-
ton. as provided for in the fourteenth
amendment. but that it is solemn duty.
The enumeration of colored people
As part of the voting population gives
the South fortv-four additional menu
bers of Congress and forty-fOur addi-
tionai Electoral votes. The vote in the
House on the tar # question abundantly
illustrat"s how the political power de-
rived from the Embarrassment of the
negroes is used. Where would MIR.
Morrison have been without the South
ern Democrats who represent Republic
an DiStricts?: The report of the com
mittee very pertinently suggests that
these added votes ''would have been
sufficient to have changed the whole
course of our history in the past. and
are not unlikely TO determine it in the
future"
The Committee report the facts con
corning the Copiah County murder sub
stan;ially as heretofore published. They
find that 4 conspiracy existed in that
county 20 prevent the Republicans from
voting. and the murder of Matthews
was committed in pursuance of that
conspiracy. Although these crimes
were committed at a STATE election, the
effect of them is to int midate voters
and keep them away from the polls
when members of Congress and Pres;-
Dental Electors are chosen. The gen
eral conclusion arrived at BY the Com
mit;ee is that the Democrats of the
South can not be permitted to double
their political power by fraud or force.
