AID TO EDUCA.
TION.

The movement on foot to give Ma
tienal Aid TO Elementary Education
originated a few years ago with the
National Aid Association.
1t took the form of the TBlsir
Bill" and successfully passed the
Senate at the last Congress. 1t is a
measure for the public safety and is
therefore of National Importance. 1t
justly deserves and ought corrective
the liberal support of the press, es
peeialiy The country press. The great
majority of the larger journals and
magazines have set good examples
by supporting the measure, but the
larger number of local publications
throughez.s the country have been
resting on it. $z7,o00,oo0 turned
loose for common school education!
What does it mean? There was a
doubt in the minds of most of these
Journalists, whether it would ever
reach its destination or not. The
billlnight be passed, but the luoBey
more than likely would be gobbled
up on the way and only a meager por-
ton Of itreach its destination and be
used for the purpose intended, This.
they had q right TO question and could
produce good reasons for doubling
the wisdom Of this movement, but
how does the matter stand nowl
Since Mr.. Cleveland has been in the
Presidential chair, every thing psF-
tanning to Governmental affairs have
been raised 10 "A higher standard.
There is no longer a premium on Ga
gantic monepolies or a hiding place
for those who tap the public Treasury.
Everythingiis organized on business
principles
If there was ever time inlthe. his
tory Of the States when we needed
aid for this purpose, it is now. If
there was ever an administration we
could trust 10 properly disbnrse this
fund this certainly ls thesope.
We, Of the South, especially, need
this aid. The war left Ne desperately
poor. The Government freed over
four million colorsd people and i'm
mediately gave them The right eof
suffrage. Ina strict sense of Justice.
does it notebook right that the Gov
leFDment should aid in their ednea-
ton.

very interesting meeting Of tho 'sfar-
mer's Club" held in the reception
room Of the University and "A. and III.
College, on the 18th inst. Quite a
number of progressive farmers en-
rolled their names. A number, of inn
poftant matters were discussed, and
others referred for discussion until
the next meeting. This organization
seems to be growing and spreading
in other parishes. 1T is certainly q
good thing. We hppe some day, to
sec the farmers thoroughly organized
throughout the State, and fairs in
in every parish.
