The Phipps Will at Hartford.
OWonSbOrO MosSengcr.l

All of the heirs of the late Washing,
ton Phipps, of Hartford, contested the
will left 10y Mr.. PhippS, save VIM.
Phipps and j. T.. Fogle. Washington
Phipps was the richest man in Ohio
county, his wealth being estimated at
from Sl50,000 to S20O,00O He was "A
bachelor and LEFT bequests to his reIa>
uves ia amounts Of from $500 to 81, 900
and the remainder of his estate To VIM.
Phipps. his nephew. Ii is generally
believed, however, that before his death
he gave to a mulatto, whom hr recog>
nized as his illegitimate offspring, mon
sy and bonds amounting To so, 600 or
S3o,OOO. For years Mr.. Phipps spen;
money lavishly on this young man
whose skin is almost white. educating
him at the best schools, aud he is now
a practicing physician and married to
"A handsome mulatto girl he met in
Nashville. Mr.. Phipps' known fond
ness for him, and the fact that hi. name
was not mentioned in the will, led to
the belief that he had provided for
young Dr. Phipps before his death, to
obviate contest of the will. But the
contest came nevertheless, though the
contestants were notified early in the
action that they could recover nothing
supposed to have been given DIR. Phipps.
They concluded, however, to contest
for the residue of the estate left To VIM.
Phipps, but were defeated when the
case was heard on Thursday. Mr.. w.
y. Sweeney, Of this cily, was counsel
for VIM. Phipps.

 It is not alone in New Haven that the school question is 'burning' one. Boston is just now agitated by it, and many interest ing facts relative to it are made public there, as has been the case here.
 The other day the secretary of an employ ment organization in Boston had an appli- cation for general clerk in an insurance of flee, and twenty boys, averaging fifteen years in age, graduates of the grammar and high schools in Boston, were examined to see if they were qualified to fill the situation. It required fair handwriting, good spelling, correctness at figures, and the use of good English, and there was not boy in the whole lot who came up to the required stan dard. They were we'll dressed, and knew a little about many things; they were the sons of the average citizen, who expects his boy to take care of himself after he is fifteen or sixteen years of age; they had certificates of graduation from their several schools, and felt that they had education enough to begin at the bottom of business career. But they all failed because they had not been well grounded in the rudiments of practical ed ucatien The school had ornamented but had not instructed them. The training had assumed the existence of foundations which had not been laid, and these boys failed in their first encounter with the world because the public school had not met the common requirements by which boy or girl can at sixteen years of age begin to earn their ewn living
 We suppose that such an occurrence as this is possible even in New Haven. Indeed we have known of very similar ones here One of the reasons for such condition of af fairs as is thus indicated is well set forth by the Boston Herald, which says: You may hear class after class recite with out feeling the grip of the pu- pills on their work. The present sys- tenn represses individuality, energy, ambition and has the method and precision of ma chine, and in such state of things, good work or real progress is almost impossible. The teachers follow prescribed order, which is largely confined to oral instruction, and the boys and girls are like rows of oysters with their minds open to take what they can grasp.
 It is easy enough to see that there are some very serious defects in the school systems which have been so popular. But how to remedy these defects is question which will not be soon answered. It is to be hoped, however, that it will be answered.

We Are One People.

From the Savannah Morning News Dem)l ! There appears to be an impression at the North that there is radical difference be- tween the northern and southern people. The speeches of the Republican orators, the com | ments of the Republican press, and the il- | lustrated papers all, in more or less degree, assume that there is difference. Northern CTS appear to have an idea that the people of the South differ from them in appearance, in ] dress, in thought, and, in fact, in every i'm portant characteristic. They think the southerners are overbearing, high tempered, prejudiced people, who want to have every 1 thing their own way without regard to right or wrong, and who have no respect tor the rights of interiors.
 There was never a greater mistake. Out side of New Orleans the people of southern cities differ very little from those of north ern cities. It would take close observer to distinguish any difference at all. The diff ference that has been talked and written about so much exists more in imagination than in fact
 Savannah is a pretty fair sample of a southern city. Do the people one meets here differ very much from those of any northern city? Of course not, and why should theys A very large percentage of them is from the North, and the fathers and mothers, or OOLu, OI u Stlli lhIS0T percentage were from the same section. In all branches of business northern men and men whose parents were from the North are found. h. deed, it is safe to say that the percentage of
 business men in this city whose ancestors for
 several generations were born in the South is
 exceedingly small. Not all of those who are
 most prominent in politics were born in
 Georgia. If their histories were inquired in
 to it would be found that, in many cases,
 either they or their fathers or mothers first
 saw the light in Connecticut or some one of
 the New England States.
 There is no reason, therefore, why there
 should be any marked difference between the
 northern and southern people. It is pretty
 safe to say that there is not a greater
 difference between the southern people and
 the people of the New England and Mid dle States than there is between the people of those States and the people of the West. All those who left New England even before the war to seek homes elsewhere didn't go to the West A very great many of them came South. They found places in the professions, in business, and on the plantations. They became leading men in many instances, and some of them are still among the living The descendants of these immigrants from the northern States are to day influential in shap- ing public sentiment in this section Since the war the immigration from the North has been quite large.
 The people, therefore, between whom Messrs. Sherman, Foraker, and others are
