CHARGING AT A WINDMILL.

ton, in which lie strives to impute
Cleveland with the failure of carry
ing into effect the principles TO which
he owes his election. This wonder
full effusion of the Senator's is pub
lished in the North American Review,
and telegraphed at length TO the
Times Democrat. In these latter
days of "civil service REFORM" we
think the Senator makes a woeful
mistake in committing himself to the
old-fashioned spoils system. If he
has done this to strengthen himself
with the Democratic masses, it will
prove q failure. With all his
eloquence and rhetorical flourish be
can not win on this tack. and the
effort will prove in the long run as
empty and futile as was his late
closing Of the stable door after the
Backbone horse had escaped.

1t is estimated that the cotton crop
of Grant parish in the bottoms will
only average about bali bale to the
acre. the rains and the worms having
cut the crop short about one-half.
The yield in the hills will average
nearly half bale to the acre. little
or 10 damage having been done to
the crop. The luxuriant foliage of
the plant in the bottoms makes the
fields look well in places where the
worms have not eaten the cotton, but
a close examination reveals the fact
that bolls are few and far between.
In fact it is held by many that the
cotton from which the worms have
eaten the foliage will make the best
yield.

It is plain that the public is be-
coming aroused on the question Of
protecting the homes or, in other
words, Of protecting girls and women.
There are two branches 10 the ques-
ton. One relates to what steps must
be taken Immediately to secure the
desired reform, the other relates to
the slower processes of remedial
measures which come through edu-
cation and the building up of de-
cided public sentiment In building
up such q sentiment where shall peo-
pie begini Restrictive measures de-
pend largely upon the tone of public
sentiment, and the Commences of
public courage. Where shall We be-
gin to form public sentiment and to
stimulate public courage?
Why not begin with the boys? A
great deal has been said about the
proper education of girls. about their
proper training in the family, about
bringing them into the range of .
closer discipline, and about instilling
into their minds higher notions OF
womanly duty. But suppose this is
done; suppose. through the Influence
of good mothers, through the inau-
ence of family associations and dis
cipline the girls are made to UNDER
stand their own duties and dangers
in their way what will this effect il

estimate of women and in their idea

Still the Exposition attracts, az
evidenced by its increased patronage
every week. With favorable weather
there will be o large attendance daily
now till it's close the last OF next
month. The exhibits here are very
similar to those at New Orleans, only
there is not such q wilderness OF
buildings as at the latter place. Be-
sides new aud fresh additions have
been sent here from all over the
country to add to the perfection Of
the Southern Exposition. All the
buildings have quite . social holiday
appearance. being decorated with U.
S. flags. bunting, streamers, etc.
Then everything is kept in such nice
order. There are many conveniences,
SO that party can come in at eight
in the morning and remain till ten
at night, if they wish. There are
easy seats in music hall, and every
place where one can rest after q tire
some walk throughout the large
building.
Every Saturday and Tuesday en-
trance fees have been reduced to Is
cents head; while half-a-dollar is
the price of admittance other days.
The building is not thrown open to
the public on Sundays, which is q
wise decision OF the management,
thereby allowing clerks. as well as
managers one day to themselves out
of seven.
One of the striking features Of the
Exposition is the newspaper exhibit
for the benefit Of the public and pub
Usher alike, where the daily and
weekly papers of the country are
carefully fled every day. The pub
fishers of nearly all the city and
country newspapers send copy of
their publications complimentary for
the time being for the use of this
display. There is no space unoc-
cupied in the vast area used for ex-
hibitors, which shows the interest
everybody is taking in the matter Of
display, towards making. this the
greatest success of any former Elk
position. A visit to an ordinary
country fair is both instructive and
recreative. Then why should it not
be proportionately beneficial to wit
ness such q display as given at the
Exposition where muscle. brain and
money have all combined to make it
success in every regard. Conse-
quently those who can possibly do 50
should by all means visit the South
ern Exposition at Louisville.

ABOUT SOME BOOKS.

Hon. Warren Easton, State super
intendent of public education, earn
estly endorses series of arithmetics
that are the work OF Col Nicholson
Of this State, and hopes the talent
OF the author will be recognized by
their use in every school in the State.
With all due regard for the opinion
OF Mr. Easton, we hold that the
series should first be carefully tested
before they are brought into general
use throughout the State. This arith-
metical series may be all that is
claimed for it, and our State pride
leads us to hope that it is, but we
don't want to sac our school patrons
inviegled into the purchase of worth
less books with the only outcome OF
lining the pockets Of the author at
the expense of the patrons. We do
not suppose for an instant that our
worthy superintendent would lend
himself to any such job, but the like
has happened TO our certain knowl-
edge ia two or three OF our sister
States, aud it is we'll enough to guard
against repetition. The ties of
friendship ale very strong, aud the
best of US are disposed to view the
product OF kindly acquaintance
with great deal OF leniency, if not
absolute approval. When If subjected
to practical test it might prove
utterly worthless. No one would
feel more satisfaction than this editor
to see Col. Nicholsons series OF
arithmetics in all our schools, should
they prove useful factors in the edu-
cation of the children. But we are
not prepared to accept the work
blindly simply because the author is
wonderful mathematician. In other
words we hold that it is not every
juggler with figures who can put his
methods in such form as to be of
utility in the schools. +
