EDUCATION Or RICHES.
FRIENEs OF THE CLUE: On the question, Re-
solved, that education l. better than riches
take the negative. Bt in tho first place, the two
impossible 10 separate entirely. The question,
in fair way seems 10 me TO he: Which - better q
common education and great wealth, or q splendid
education and a small amount Of money? Why,
when college - to he established, the irst thing
is to find men that have money which they VIII
give for the purpose. So you see II IL money first
and education afterwards Ard believe if those
who come down on Mr.. Lloyd heavy had to work
half one-third the time To get education
that they viii TO get money. they would give up
pretty quick And for example take Peter cooper
or George w. Childs. What men ever did more
good with their education than they with their
wealth? 0fcourse, they had an education; but hat
would they have amounted to with their education
without their money? Take those who go for Mr.
Lloyd 50 Sayagely and let ignoremus who has
his millions and with n splendid education,
but without any money and in rags, come 10 their
house town, and ii the rich Is not vel
come anywhere and the poor man unnoticed
One OF our opponents says 'Ne would nave no NA-
TIoNAL TRIBCNI the Editor had had all money and
no education. Well, ali right but now, Mr.. Editor,
which did you think of longest when You were
about TO start your paper, education or your
money pile? After ALL with most people education
is used simply as steppingstone to wealth

IGNORANT WEALTH.
FRIENDS OF THE CLUB: Ignorant wealth may
beg notoriety, but cannot purchase honor. rich
ignorRnlus may, on account of his wealth, have
many friends and followers, but will he ever be as
sincerely honOTed, thoroughly respected and
liked the weli-educated man: In spite OF his
wealth will he not be ridiculed account of his
ignorance when he IS not present even by his fol-
lowers? Will ask Nj. III. Tucker if the class he re-
fers To Is known rs the white clay eaters, and,
SO, quite agree with him in thinking their con-
dition deplorabie. Dancing and card playing are
well enough under proper regulations but care for
nether.-Irene L. Corey, lS8 Liberty street, Cieve-
land, Ohio.

Ignorance is baTbarism. It would be hard to
name one man who has been honored by the peo-
pie, who had not an education. Those w no cannot
read or write, and have no way to attain educl-
tion generally become what should term profess
sional tranIps. Would like to hear from Florida

The hsppiest and most prosperous nation-the
United Satcs-isthat i'm which education and riches
60 hand in hand. Education is the cnergizing
force of wealth. and wealth is necessary to carry
the grand schemes Of education Education led to
the invention by Prot. Morse of the electric tele-
graph, and wealth established the system whici,
spans country and connects continents together.
Education should be our first care and then if we
have talents come to the front, and if do not
amass wealth ourselves, we can command the
wealth of others for good and useful purposes
Seth Thomas, Opoiis Kan.
The first duty of life should be to secure a good
education. The boy or girl who has so educated

VALUE OF FREE SCHOOLS
FRIESDs OF THE CLUB am very much surprised
TO know thai a Kansas boy would talk as Mr.. Davis
does, If the whites had not brought the colored
people to this country they would not be here to
go TO school with their children. Instead, they
were forced to come The white man took ships
TO their native country. had them go into the ships
and sailed away with them against their will and
the white youth finds fault with what his fore
fathers did. Now, the negroes are scattered all
over the United States and the West Indies. How
can Mir. Davis expect them all to be in convenient
reach OF q colored school? And because they are
not IN reach. they are to grow up in ignorance and
be prosecuted by the School Board. | agree with
Mr. Davis about the Public School system Of Kan
sas do not think there is another State (no older
than Kansast which has as good a school system.
