AMERICAS EDUCATIONAL CONDITION.

| One of the most interesting and in-
| structive of the departmental reports
is that proceeding from the Commits
sOner of E,ucito The volume
embraces ], 100 pages, and exliausts
the subject of education in America
50 far AZ the statistics are concerned.
With "A school population of 16 OOO. 900
in the country, there are 6,000,O00
who attend school out of lie 10 0O 0CO
enrolled. There are 293. 600 TEACHERS
to whom was paid last year$9l 200, 900.
Upwards of one half of the number of
teachers were women, whose salaries
are gradually getting tn figure near
To the just proportion of that oi the
male teachers. Why a man should
receive 500 per mouth for the duty
that woman is required tn perform
for $40 "r $50 is not comprehenied by
tire ordinary mind. While the colored
population send $685. of it's children
to schooi in the South, the whites i'm
the Southern States, with double the
number uf school population. send
only half as many more to schooI.
There are 5000 colored pupils III nor
nal schools, 5000 in aradeniies, and
=, 800 in colleges. There are half
million of students pursuing studies
above and beyond tie elementary
schools, that il, the higher Iratcl,es
of education, and upward of 800
ministers, doctors, lawyers, AMI scien-
titic men emerge from the colleges
Every year, with the doctors decidedly
in the ascendancy.

To which the explorer replies
"Mo~t undoubtedly; and without the

In view of all these resp ,lisibilities

di'ion is needed, provi led he is will
ing to leave KiIartounl.'
Here is the most positive testimony
that The ADVERTISERS position on
this question was correct from the
start.
Gordon is man who, having once.
tasted the sweets of notoriety, now
cannot exist without il. The marvel
is that the Prime Minister has yielded
to the popular clamor, and allowed
his extraordinary individual to retain
his position i'll public attentions. We
believe that the true history of the
Gordon expedition Will be one of the
most extraordinary and interesting
examples of daring man playing

Judgment of IL politician like Giaa-
tone, and the common sense of an

A Curious Historical Fact.

Albany Evening Journal; 1t is a
curious historical fact that Lincoln
and Harrison were the first candidates
for the Presidency in 1892. r. H.
Harrison, of Maryland, in that year
received six electoral votes and Ben
jamin Lincoln one. Up to 1928,
nominations for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency were made by Con-
gressional caucuses. The movement
for national nominating conventions
began in 1880, when the anti Massn>
ic party set up its candidates at Balti-
more. The National Republicans
met the following year in national
convention and nominated Henry
Clay, and the year following the Dem
ocrats nominated Van Buren, for Vice
President at the same place, which be>
come known as the "City of Conven-
tons" From that time all parties adj
opted the plan OF naming their candi-
dates for the Presidency by delegates
in National Conversions.

SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1884.
The last weeks issue Of the Tren

The last weeks issue of the Tren-
ton Globe contained the following
thoughtful editorial, and, as the edi
tor of that paper is a candidate for
the legislature, we suppose he intends
to take steps to carry out the idea
suggested, if he is elected. We are
glad that some Of the candidates in
the state are looking after the mate
rial isterests of the people in other
channels than the tariff, railroad com.
missions, etc. While these are i'm.
portant, other matters should net be
overlooked. We hope the new legis-
lature will also perfect the road law,
enact a dog law and increase the
school fund. All these are of great
Importance. But the following is in
the right direction
In the political struggle of 1884,
the question of redistricting the Judi>
cial districts of the State should not
he overlooked. 1t is patent to all
that the judicial districts should be en-.
lsrged and the number of Judges and
Jhaucellors decreased. Already Ten
nessee has about 33 Judges and chan
csllors, when with fewer and no in.
Convenience or ovsrwork, % or "a
judges could do the work that the
33 now do. We are informed that in
quite aumber of the circuits the cir
cult Judges are not employed more
than half their time, at the same
time do all that is assigned then, and
faithfully too. In this circuit, and it
is about as large as any in the state,
SO far as the business of the courts
is concerned, our Circuit Judge is
not employed near all the time, and
he, himself, adaits that he could hold
more courts. Be it said to the credit
of our Circuit Judge, he is ever ready
to give his time and attention to the
duties of his office, and we feel it
would be more acceptable to him
while he holds his position as Judge
to devote all his time to its duties:
Our Chancellor, we are informed, has
nearly as many courts as he can we'll
hold. The incoming legislature
should lock to this matter of reds
tricting the judicial circuits, for by
this means there can be saving to
the State of thousands of dollars an.
nually for years to come. If the mat.
ter is delayed longer than the next
session of the legislature, new judges
will be elected and sworn in and then
the redistricting act would, or Nigh t,
provo of no avail, until tho sxpira>
ton Of their term Of Office. Certain-
ly this should be done before the next
judicial election. to avoid complication
that may arise if done later. :ag

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
A Suit Of Much Importance to the
Members.

Nashville Banner, soth ult.
An important suit, of interest to the
members of the Knights of Honor
was filed in Louisville yesterday after~
noon by Geo. McCready, of that city,
a prominent member, against the SUI
preme officers ofthe order. He prays
for an injunction against the defendants
to prevent them from removing the
Offices from Louisville. In his petit
ton McCready states the general ass
emily of Kentucky in the year 1875
passed an act Incorporating tbs sup
RENE lodge of the Knights of Honor,
and was approved by the governor on
the 26th day of March, 1875, andlthe
act is still in force and unrspealed, and
the members of this body were granted
perpetual succession, and were made
capable of ssing and being sued.
The corporators named in this and
accepted its provisions, and were or
ganized as corporation, etc. Plain
tiff states that, according to said char
ter, the supreme lodge instituted other
lodges, among them Golden Lodge
No / ;" of which he was elected mem.
Der, and still continues to be one in
good standing. Plaintiff furthermore
states that, ia accordance with powers
granted the supreme lodge, it insti-
tutsd a widows and orphans fund,
which is under the charge of an officer
called supreme treasurer, and that all
other moneys and funds are turned in
to an officer called the supreme reports
or, who pays it from time to time to
the supreme treasurer. The money
for said fund is supplied by assess
msnts from the subordinate lodges
made by the supreme lodge, and each
and every member of the subordinate
lodges becomes liable for the assess
ments. ..ls3..
He also states that Robert j. Breck
inridge was elected supreme treasurer Of
the Knights of Honor, and has depos-
tied in the Peoples Bank of Ksntuck y
a large sum of money to its credit.
Plaintiff says that the defendant B. F.
Nelson was elected supreme reporter
of the Knights of Honor, and that it
is his duty to notify members of as,
sessments. Plaintiff states that the
suprsms lodge is preparing to move
all its books, papers and documents
out of this state to the state of Missou-
ri, thereby causing the loss gifts men>
bers. l. w. Branch, Of Missouri,
has been elected supreme treasurer,
and will take possession of all moneys
and papers in possession of Breckin.
ridge unless restrained from the hon.
orable court. They say that the of
fee and papers of the supreme lodge
should be kept in the state of Ken
lucky, and that if they should be re-
moved from Kentucky any member
of the subordinate lodges would be
unable to bring any action against
the supreme lodge, and therefore
pray that u temporary injunction be
granted by the court restraining the
supreme lodge from moving its office.

THE CAMP

Elsewhere Iii our columns will be
found a stirring letter with an ac-
count of the formation Of old Put
nam's first democratic club for the
the campaign of 1884. Our county
left fewer soldiers in their tents du-
ring last campain than any Of her
sisters, and her sons will not be
found lacking when such important
issues as are now to be tried cry for
ward!'
In his letter to THE News, the
chairman gives convincing reasons
for the necessity Of early action,
and the opening of the battle by
the big guns at Crescent City viii
send responsive thrill to the hearts
of the tried soldiers who have
fought shoulder to shoulder in so
many hard won struggles. To
them there is no cause for apathy or
indifference in the knowledge that
the battle will be stoutly contested,
and that the power Of the opposing
party, at least, makes them worthy
Of our steel
Knowing that Bisboo stands op-
posite, we will go into the field
with trained nerves and every weaP-
on bright, the heart conscious Of u
holy cause makes the steady hand,
and we can endure the worst assaults
Of our enemies.
For he who deals his unb0ught blows
With all a PATRIOTS scorn,
May brain a tyrant with a rose,
Or stab him with a thorn"
Forward, sons of Putnam The
banner of Crescent City makes the
first attack on Bisbee and his conf
dent hosts; second them as We may.
On the table of such a club TIE
News is proud to place Itself, and
will do its utmost to uphold the
hand Of every true democrat who
draws his blade for our rights. The
people are already aroused and will
soon choose a leader who viii guide
rs to victory.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

Grave doubts have been thrown
on the constitutional power of The
governor of Florida to call an extra
session Of the legislature for the
New Orleans exposition. Yet Sen
ator Mann, Of fernando, in his last
letter, simply states his conviction
that our state should be represented.
and suggests that prominent citizens
sign a note with the understanding
that hereafter the legislature shall
refund the money.
Now, Commissioner Sebring has
proposed that private parties in the
state raise the sum necessary, and
we are assured that ample funds
will be forthcomina from this source
