Editor PICAYUNE:-As l have been trayeling to some extent in this (Nevada) county; l wish to call attention to some improve ments that have noted, which speaks well for our people.
 First: There is quite a large amount of fresh land being cleared and put under good rail fence. The old land is being fertilized and by homemade fertilizers. l do not think I ever saw as much haul. ed out on the farm at one time, as there is at this time. More atten- ton is being given to the produc- ton of corn, oats, and vegetables than usual, which l consider to be a move in the right direction. If we could get out of the old groove of raising cotton to buy everything, We would be better of.
 Second: More attention is being given to the education ofthe youth, more schools and better ones is the order of tine day. Sabbath

An Important Decision

The Supreme Court of Appeals yes
terday rendered decision the effect Of
which will be to require all taxes due
to the State for the support OF the pub
lie schools to be paid in money. The
Commonwealth has scoredra victory in
this case--at least in her own highest
court. We are inclined to believe that
the decision will be affirmed by the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
For, whatever may be the merits Of any
other case that has gone up to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, this
case is still more meritorious. 1t is
founded upon constitutional provision
older than the funding bill Of 1871.
Section 8 of Article VIII. Of the Consti-
tuition reads:
1.-THE General Assembly shall apply
= an annual tax upon the
property Of the State Of not less than
one mill nor more than five mills on the
dollar" Ito the public schools.)
The Legislature had no power to
agree to receive coupons for taxes
levied to support the public schools.
The Constitution in effect forbids.

Logan and the Soldiers.

The Boston Herald pays its respects
to LOGAN as follows:
General Logan ought to remember
that there were a great many good
Democrats in the army who are as de-
serving Of office as were their Republic
can comrades. He was a pretty good
or bad Democrat himself when he de-
cided to take up arms on the Union side.
Give the lopg.fasting veterans chance
before they die"
True. But LOGAN knows that he
has nothing to expect from the Demo-
cratic.soldier vote. This fully accounts
for his blindness to the fact that the
Democrats that were in the Federal
army nave a claim upon the United
States Government. LOGAN's love for
the negro was plant of sudden growth,
and never bloomed in all Of its luxu-
rance until it came to be to JACKS ad-
vantage. That it should flourish in soil
which not many years ago was so con-
fessedly hostile to its development
affords most remarkable illustration
of the fertilizipg influence Of politicaI
selfishness.

Free School-Books.

The public school systemin this State
is by no means what it ought to be.
Virginia is long way behind her north
ern and northwestern sisters, so tar as
are concerned the public schools in
most OF tbs counties. In this con-
pection, we must not omit to say that
in this city and in some other towns
and cities Of the Commonwealth the
public schools are as good as the best
anywhere. Even here, however, ade-
quate provision is not made for the
education of all the children who
desire to attend the public schools.
And, by the way, let us say that it
is . most unjust law, or would be if
such a law were in existence, which
would give to non-residents the benefit
of the public schools Of this or any
other city, to the exclusion of the chill
dren of residents. There are not few
persons who are opposed to public
schools on principle. These persons
are n enforced with arguments by un-
lust requirements. The poisoned ar
rows which they let fly at the public
schools are furnished by nominal
friends Of the schools.
We set out to say that instead OF
furnishing free books to the pupils now
attending the public schools, the Legis-
lature would do much better to furnish
free tuition to ell the children who de-
sire to obtain IL. In fact, it is the duty
Of the Legislature to provide the means
Of keeping up the free schools IN
al the counties, not for three, four,
OF Eve months only, but for q
full scholastic year. The people
would be well satisfied with . com.
promise based upon this foundation,
between the advocates Of free books
and the advocates Of reduced taxation.
The needed books cannot be furnished
without an increase Of taxation and
~ people are not willing to have their
taxes increased. But nobody would
.conplain--catsinly nobody ought to
<csmplain--if instead Of ieducing tbs rate

cannot gain votes BY dsnouncing that
policy. But even II MAHoSE were

Democratic party could not justify It.
self for any neglect Of duty. Be sure
there will always be an opposition
party. New Issues will ar,se--must
arise--cannot be kept down. The
question of prohibition or local OPP
ton threatens even now, or promises
if you prefer the word, to divide
the voters of Virginia on entirely
new lines for though these elections
between prohibition and license may
not be held in May nor in November
yet the belligerent feeling excited when
ever they do take place will last till the
next regular election for county off,
GERS, or State officers, or even national
officers, and will influence thousands Of
votes. Neither party. therefore, now
represented in the Legislature can
afford to assume an attitude even of
neutrality towards the public-school
system. That system needs improve
ment, and the people look to the Legis-
lature to improve it. 1t ought to be
handed down to the next generation an
almost perfect system.
The declaration in the Democratic
platform of last year in favor Of free
books is not one whit more binding
upon the party than the declaration in
the same platform against any increase
Of taxation "direct or Indirect" And
since it is confessedly impossible to fur
nish the books at public expense with
out increasing the rate Of taxation, the
Democrats in the Legislature are COM
PEELED to disregard the one or the other
of those pledges. Therefore, for the
reason that it would be much wiser to
educate all the children than to furnish
with books and educate two thirds Ct
them, the General Assembly can safely
adopt the formerpolicy. Wearepledged
not TO increase the taxes. Let us keep
that pledge. If we keep it, we cannot
keep the pledge to furnish school-books
free. But we can do better. We can
greatly improve the public-school sys-
tenn. Again, we say, let this be the
basis of a wise compromise.
