A committee Of prominent educators
closed its session in Boston on Monday
last. This committee was appointed for
the purpose Of urging Federal aid 10
educate the illiterate of the land, and cs-
pecia,ly the colcred people down South.
There were present some of the bright
est men in tho land. The committee
assert, that ''as Congress gave the negro
suffrage the necessary means should now
be provided for his elementary educa-
ton Is not this precisely what the
Southern States are now doing: Florida
gives one-half the money raised for pub
lie schools to the colored people. But,
before going further with this
matter, would it not be better to first
consider just how far it IS possible to
educate the colored people, and the
most desirable means for their mental
elevation: To simply instruct them in
elementary branches, and leave them 20
shift for themselves hereafter, hardly
seems enough. Industrial education
should follow. But there Is great doubt
in the minds OF many people whether
the colored race can BE- educated 1T Ali.
Would it not be well % investigate this
phase of the case before squaudeTing
large sums on an experiment: /, was

Savannah Times: y good many grave
charges have at one time or another been
brought against corporations, but none
so serious was ever before produced as
this against the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. The Richmond
Dispatch gravely claims that had il not
been for the construction of that road
Richmond would have been as large as
Baltimore is, and much larger than Bal
timore would have been without the
connection with the West, and, further
more, that 1.-The Baltimore and Ohio
is responsible for the division of Nir-
gina into two States" But this is not
all. Wanting that railroad the United
States Government would never have
conquered the South" The Dispatch
explains that it Is not disloyal, and is
glad slavery is abolished; but it cannot
help feeling badly about the Baltimore
and Ohio, and regrets that the State ever
granted franchise to the company.
1t is, doubtless, pity; but the milk is
spilled now, and Baltimore got tie
