travelled Through the southern states.
We let him speak On this point:
at Is absurd for tho ruling men Of
State to pretend TO believe In free
trade while they advocate aud practice
The most offensive form Of protection
by cxempting all manufacturing estah-
lishmcnts, capital. and property from
taxation for the period Of ten years.
Instead OF taxing the whole coun-
Try for the protection Of their
manufacturers. they tax their own
people by the exemption Of man
ufacturing capital and property,
thus giving other States the benefit Of
their local protection as consumers,
without sharing the tax. > But
South Carolina wants factories. and
while declaiming in favor Of free trade
more than half inclines to accept revc-
nue. reform that reduces taxation to the
revenue standard, and wisely discrimi-
mates in favor Of general productive in
dustries, and that is about all the pro-
lection anybody wants these days.
Colonel MCCLURE does not shut his
eyes TO what is to be seen in the South.
lie says:
There is strange discord between
the utterances of many Of the leading
southern representatives in Congress
and the uttcranccs Of a large majority
Of the prominent officials. politicians,
and businessmen in the chief centres
Of the South. II there is anything like
tendency TO free trade in Virginia,
North Carolina. OF Georgia, it must be
in the rural districts not reached by
railways. In every important business
centre outside Of South Carolina have
found the prominent men outspoken
and positive against any and every
form of tariff legislation on
free-trade theory; and most Of
them are rs enthusiastic in their de-
mand for distinctive protective duties
as are the Protectionists Of Pennsylva-
MIA. South Carolina imagincs that she
is for free trade, but it is an innocent
solfdclusion. But free trade
is one Of the traditions Of South Caro-
lima since Calhoun changed from Pro-
tcctionist to a Frce-Trader, and her
people seem to want to draw the line
somewhere, and they draw it on free
trade. True, they are getting badly
split up on the issue, as their divided
delegation in Congress shows; but you
can still hear more free-tradc theory
finely spun in South Carolina than in
any other State east of the Father OF
Waters"
Now. we ask our Charleston friend
to come out boldly for protecting South
Carolina manufactures and South Caro-
lina rice-planters. Why put your hands
behind your back and receive bounty
money, whilst protesting against grant
ing bounties at all The Democrats
who agree with us are in just as good
standing in the Democratic party as are
those why try to deceive themselves
into the belief that they are the elite OF
the party because they are opposed to
protecting American industries--out-
side Of their own States.

Our Academies.

A recent issue Of the New York Fee
ming Post contains an article from a
Professor in Vanderbilt University, in
which some positions are taken that are
not only untenable, but which are cal
culated to produce very prejudicial
impression in respect Of education in
the South. The article is headed, "The
English Department in Southern
Colleges" In so far as the writer
treats specifically of that sub
ject, and in so far as his comments
can be segregated from their relation to
other issues he raises, his article will
hardly be challenged. Much that he
says is well said. Much that he
implies, and which follows as a logical
deduction from his postulates, is open
to criticism. After admitting that the
South has in the last ten years made
wonderful strides in educational pro-
gress,' y he says;
:" In such matters there was never
before the civil war one 1.-THE Of the
interest that is now shown in almost

every southern State. But this interest
has not yet reached the schools that
prepare for collcgc-~thc academies
During the war they were as rule d's-
continued. and since then the common
schools and the small so-called colleges
have usurpcd their places"
lie then names enc academy in North
Carolina, one in Tennessee, three( I" and
perhaps one or two more II Virginia
which we are lcit to infer are entitled 70
notice, and adds:
"But | dare assert that not one
third (italics his) Of the students gradu-
ated from these academies can enter the
freshmen class Of Harvard College. All
the rest Of the South cannot add iive
more such schools to this list
Whether we arc TO understand the
writer in the Post as holding that the
course in the academies which receive
notice at his hands is deficient general
ly or deficient simply in English--ind
the latter is the charitable view-Fc
submit that he does injustice to class
of educational workers than whom none
are more faithful, conscientious. COM
pctent, and alive to the educational ne
ccssities of the day. We know where
of we speak when we say that the
English chairs in our colleges, which nc
regards as evidences Of the rapid edu-
cationsl progress of the last ten
years. are the results, in large mea-
sure, Of pressure from below
pressure from the silent, patient
workers in the academies and other
"classical schools" We do not mean to
say that the course in any of these pre-
paratory schools embraces the scientific
study Of English, but we dare assert
that the graduates Of most of them are
as well grounded in English in all that
is necessary for taking on the higher
course as are the graduates of schools
of similar grade in the North, and that
any one of these southern-acadcmy
graduates can, upon fair examina-
ton. enter the freshman class of Har-
ward College. Not only do graduates
of our southern academies enter by the
hundreds the freshman classes of our
southern institutions, where the re-
auirements are as rigid as they are at
Harvard, but many enter northern in
stitutions where the standard for en-
trance is higher than it is at Harvard.
We must therefore conclude that the
writer in the Post could not have in
formed himself as to the southern
academies. We would be the last to
take issue with any one whose object
is to stimulate higher education in the
Southland we doubt not That such Is
the object of the writer under criti-
cism-but we cannot let pass rehec-
tions the tenor of which is to teach our
people that they must send their sons
north if they would have them properly
prepared for college. and inferentially
that the seat of all learning is north.
In facilities for specialties the average
northern college may have the ad-
vantage of the average southern col
lege. but with this their advantages
end. From the "classical school" to
the masters degree the work of south
ern education shows results that every
southern man has right to be proud

An EXPLOSION OF GAS.

Tie People Of sharpsburg Excited aud Threatr

a Pittsburgh special of the 10Th
says: The residents Of Sharpsburg
were startled this morning shortly after
10 o'clock by tremendous report. I'M
mediately followed by quaking Of the
earth and shaking Of houses. Windows
were shattered and chimneys crumbled
to pieces. The cause OF the earthquake
was an explosion of natural gas in the
mill store of Moorhead Brothers 4 Co..
on Main street. The first shock had
hardly passed away when a second
sounded forth. and with it the body of
man was seen hurled through the air
at a distance Of about four feet from the
ground, coming directly from the door
of the mill store. The force Of the eX-
ploSion was such a. to carry him clear
across the street. a distance of fully
twenty-five feet. landing him squarely
on his back. He was badly burned
about the head and neck. but was other
wise uninjured. being saved a though
by a miracle. His name is T. a. Reed,
and for many years ne has been en-
plOyed by Moorhead Brothers & Co. as
shipping clerk.
While sitting in the store this morn
ing he noticed a small blaze come up
through the floor. and Immediately
started to run for the door. Before he
reached it, however. the explosion oc-
CURED. 1t is supposed to have been
caused by the carelessneSs Of the West
inghouse workmen in laying the pipes.
One of the pipes was found TO have
been badly out of place and bent to
such an extent as to make it certain to
give way sooner or later. The people
of Sharpsburg are highly indignant. and
the excitement over the explosion is at
fever heat. Cool-headed citizens fear
that a riot may result. This morning
the crowd which had gathered at the
fire became so Infatuated that it took all
the eloquence of sensible men to pre-
vent them from tearing up the pipes.
An Indignation meeting was then called
and the views of the citizens expressed
in decided terms.
The fire, which started in the mill
store, spread slowly to the mill itself.
owing to the fact that the wind was
blowing in direction that favored the
iiremen. Had this not been the case
the entire property would have been
destroyed. As it is the loss will not
exceed 5000; fully covered by in
surance. The mill was closed at the
time Of the fire, having been shut down
for nearly year.

DIR. Price Cremates Favorite Bull.

The notorious Welsh Druid, DR..
Price, is apparently as enthusiastic as
ever for the cause Of cremation. His
latest performance has been to cremate
a fayorite bull, called by the pet name
of Morgan Apis. The whole ceremony
lasted nine hours it caused the great
est excitement throughout the neigh
borhood, and the field in which the sac
rifice was performed was crowded with
spectators, many having come several
miles to witness so peculiar an event.
The proceedings appear to have passed
off quietly, though they were necessa-
rily of a somewhat revolving character.
DIR. Price has done some good service
to the cause Of cremation, notably by
furnishing the occasion for a judicial
declaration Of its legality; but in fu-
ture he would do well to carry out his
experiments under shelter and apart
from the gaze of the proane multi
tude.

,., .e s,r.. Poe,s RsmsIns-The Wsfs's
uody By that Of Her Husband.


fI,altimore Americana
Yesterday, the seventy-sixth aniver-
sarv Of the birthday Of Edgar Allan
Poe. was made the occasion for carry
inc out wish long entertained by the
members of his family Of burying by
his side the remains pf his wife, Mrs.
Virginia GLENN Poe. who died ut Ford
ham. N. Y, in lS4S. Her remains
were brought on to Baltimore on sun
dav by Mr.. w. Fearing Gill, the author
of a justly-celebratcd life and vindica-
ton of the poet, and by Hon. Luther X.
Marsh. president Of the Park COMMITS
sion Of New York city, who delivered the
Grafton on Shakespeare at the Poe me-
mortal in New York some time since.
Among those present yesterday were
these gentlemen. together with Professor
Andrew s. Kerr, Of the Western Fe-
male High School; Miss Sarah ). Rice,
who projected and was conspicuously
identified with the Poe monument erect
ed here in 1875; John p. Poe, who SUI
pcrintended the reinterment, and Rev.J.
s. b. Hodges. rector Of st. Paul's Pro-
testant Episcopal church. The services
were exceedingly simple. When the re-
mains had been lowered in the grave. at
the old Westminster Presbyterian
church graveyard, DR.. Hodges gave ut
terance to the following prayer:
ain the name Of the Father, and OF
the Son. and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
We recommit the mortal remains OF our
departed sister to the ground Earth
to earth. ashes to ashes. dust to dust -
looking for the general resurrection on
the last day. and the hope of the world
TO come, through our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Amen. Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord, for they rest from their
labors.' Grant, we beseech Thee, Mer-
ciful Lord, to thy faithful people, par
dor and peace; that they may be clcansed
from all their sins. and serve Thee with
a quiet mind, through Jesus Christ, our
Lord. Amen" Then followed the
Lords Prayer, concluding with The
Lord bless us and keep us. The Lord
make His face to shine upon us and be
gracious unto us. The Lord lift up His
countenance upon us and give us peace
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen"
The remains were inferred on the
south side Of the Poe monument.
1t is a notable circumstance that Mr..
Dennis Valentine. who buried Mrs. Poe
in the Dutch Presbyterian church-yard
in Fordham in lS4S, personally gave
her remains to Mr.. Gill to be brought
to Baltimore. and. that Mrs. George W.
Spence, who buried Edgar Allan Poe in
l840. and ofliciated on the occasion Of
his relntcrment under the monument in
November. 1875. also buried the re-
mains of Mrs. Poe by the side OF her
husband after lapse of thirty-slx
years.
It NAV be noted as evidence of the
growing fame of Poe that during the
wear two new editions of his complete
works have appeareG-one in London
and one in New York-lnd that in the
spring there will be placed in the Metro
politan Art Museum in New York as a
tribute from the dramatic profession to
the poet, whose parents were connected
with the stage, mural tablet repre-
scnting Fame browning a bust of Poe
with laurel.
Mrs. Poe. his wife. was Richmond
lady. and was a cousin of her husband.

AN OLD OBJECTION.-0ne Of our
exchanges objects to the BLAIR bill
that, besides conducting to Capitalization
of government and an iniquitous state
of affairs, it practically says that the
people shall not legislate and provide
for the education of their own children,
but shall allow Congress to do it for
them.
That objection is almost in words
exactly the objection that used to be
made to public schools-namely. that
they practically say that the people
shall not provide for the education of
their own children.
Is il a more forcible objection in the
one case than in the other? We think
not.
