The University of Georgia.

Georgians have long been proud of this
institution, and hundreds of the most
eminent men in the State have been edu-
Gated in 1t during the past half GEN.
fury. For the past five years it has been
State institution in reality as well as in
name. for il has been amply sustained by
the State, receiving each year the interest
on bonds issued and set apart for it's
endowment.
All young men in the State qualified
for naturalization, whether rich or poor,
are entitled to the benefits of the
university free of charge for tuition, and
those who are determined to acquire
thorough education can sustain them
selves, If they possess tact and economi-
cal habits, on a very small amount or
money. There are fewer temptations to
extravaganza and dissipation in Athens
than in most university towns in the
country, and those pupils who are able to
pay their way can there enjoy all the ad-
vantages of the institution, as well as
those OF polite and cultured society, with
out being obliged to mako a display Of
wealth.
Georgia is rich in Institutions for
the higher education of her sons and
daughters. Several of the denOmina-
tional colleges OF the State have long
possessed national regulations and they
are rapidly growing in Importance and
influence.
There are hundreds of young men in the
State who need and desire a thorough edu-
cation who do not take any steps to secure
it because they consider that they are de-
barred by the lack OF money. There are
few qualified to enter the University CT
Georgia who could not do so and main
tain themselves there if they would only
post themselves as to the advantages it
affords and be plucky enough to take hold
of these advantages.
This institution has a grand past, and
there are grounds to believe that it will
have grander future. With it's present
able corps of instructors, and with the
different schools thoroughly equipped, it
seems that all that is necessary to I'LL its
halls with students is to make it's advan-
tages known to the people in every part Of
the State.

A New Confederation.

Since the local elections last June there
appears to be a rapidly growing senti-
ment in Nova Scotia in favor OF secession
from the Dominion OF Canada. In the
Provincial Assembly there are now thirty
members who favor separation and only
eight for a continuation OF the union. 1t
is more than probable that the movement
to dissolve the union in spite OF the con-
stitutional and practical difficulties In
the way. will take positive shape at a
very early day.
There seems TO be no likelihood that
Nova Scotia will attempt to renounce its
allegiance 10 England. The general de.
sire in Nova Scotia, as well as in New
Brunswick and Prince Edward Island,
seems TO be to form separate federation
having the same or u similar relation 10
England that Can ada now has. The peo-
ple OF these provinces have little in com.
mon with the rest OF Canada, and they
are Satisfied that the policy Of the Cana
dian government is In many respects in
furious, if not inimical, to their in.
terests.
There are two questions in which the
people Of these provinces are deeply in
terested, the fisheries and the tariff. They
have ample reasons for believing after
due experience that the present unsettled
and unsatisfactory condition OF the fish.
cries question has resulted in far greater
injury to themselves than to the people OF
the United States. To the latter it only
means little inconvenience in being
driven TO fishing banks further from land
than is desirable. To the former it means
loss OF market for their products, in
! GLIDING not only bait but many other sup
plies which have heretofore been sold 10
the American fishermen.
Then the maritime provinces of Canada
are greatly hampered by the Dominion
tariff, which restricts their trade in very
narrow bounds. These provinces have
little demand for their products except
from this country, and they are anxious
TO receive our products in exchange for
them, but the Canadian tariff and our
war tariff, which is higher than the
! former, serves 70 e1ectually handicap

Assistant Teachers,

An important question will be consd-
cred by the Board of Education tonight.
II Is the adVisability of changing the
method of supplying the places of teach
ers who are for any cause temporarily
absent. By the present method super
numeraries perform the duties of absent
teachers. In place OF these, it is pro-
posed to appoint seven assistant teachers.
The disadvantages OF the present
method are very marked. The scholars
don't know the supernumeraries and the
supernumeraries don't know the scholars.
There is, therefore, no sympathy between
them. The supernumeraries, being called
on only occasionally, are not familiar
with the duties required of them, and,
hence, do not meet with much success
They are relieved before they really begin
to feel comfortable in their positions. If
they are not a positive drawback to the
schools they are, at least, very little good
to them.
The proposition to appoint assistant
teachers was made at the last meeting of
the board. 1t is proposed that the assist
ants shall receive small salaries-so
small, in fact, that the amount paid the
teachers will be increased only about
81, 000-and that they shall be regular
attendants at the schools. They will,
therefore, always be present to take. at
the command of the superintendent or
principal of the school which they
attend, the places of teachers who
may be absent. When there are no
temporary vacancies the assistants will
be assigned to perform such duties, in the
line Of teaching, as the principal may di-
rect. They will be expected to familiar
ize themselves with all the duties per-
tanning to the schools in order that they
may be qualified to till any position when
called on to do so. Although their
salaries will not be large they will have
always in prospect something better,
since it will be provided that permanent
vacancies occurring in the positions oil
teachers shall be filed from among the
assistants.

North Carolinu's Progressive Spirit.

North Carolina's Progressive Spirit.
A rather novel but very practical con-
vention will meet in Raleigh, n. c., on
| Oct. 30. a circular, signed by hundreds
of persons who are not natives of that
State, but who have located there and
are perfectly satisfied with their pros
poets, has been sent all over the country
inviting people who are thinking OF seeking
homes elsewhere, to come to Raleigh
on the date named and hear what North
Carolina has to offer them. The sgners
OF the circular came from many States,
and they now represent about every
county in North Carolina. They are thor
oughly prepared, therefore, to tell thrifty
settlers what North Carolina has to offer
them.
The reason that Oct. 90 is fixed upon is
that the State fair will open on that date,
and those who are hunting for homes will
not only have the advantage of the intor-
nation which the slgners of the circulars
will be able to impart to them, but they
will also have practical illustration, in
the exhibits at the fair, of what the State
This North Carolina idea is a good one,
and will, doubtless, be productive OF ex-
cellent results to the State. 1t will help
to make the State known, and will place
before the public not only its resources
and the character Of it's soil and climate,
but, also, the fact that there is a progress
siye spirit among the North Carolina
nnOnln w N 10
ment for immigrants to seek that State.
In some of the Southern States there
is altogether a too conservative spirit
respecting immigration. There Is dis
position to let well enough alone. 1--WE
want the land for our children" say some,
and eve don't care to have strangers to
come among u.s." say others. The
strangers are coming some time, how
ever, and why not have them come now
when the best of them can be selected?
What is the use OF permitting millions
of acres to remain unoccupied and I'M
cultivated while those who could Guilt
vate them and make them productive are
seeking the West, building 1t up and
making it rich and populous? Immigra-
ton has made the West what it is, and it
can make the South as great.
North Carolina is starting right in this
matter, and her October convention will
produce good results. II immigrants in
homes there it will not be long before her
lands will rise in value and her towns and
cities will pulsate with renewed life.

A Surgeons Love Letters.

from GHe LO7l0On wears.
At Brighton yesterday jury awarded ESQ
damages in an action for breach of promise
brought by Miss Kate Fisher. of Soho, London.
against Mr.. Z. r. Crane, surgeon. of Brighton.
Counsel read extracts from several letters
sent by the defendant to the plaintiff. In the
first he wrote;
"My moustache has grown inconvenlenty
long and wants trimming, and II you are not
here shall have to trim it myself" Laugh
ter.
Al Cardiff he ''longed so much for her fond
embrace. which he enjoved so much" and
added: You must imagine am kissing you
every night before you go to bed" Laugh
teri
In another letter, just before coming home,
he wrote:
81 am sorry cannot come earlier, but you
shall have few more. YOH had better wash
your face in brandy or spirits Of wine, for |
able to resti on your pillow for some time to
come" Renewed laughter.
From Guildford be wrote:
Mother is Just off to a prayer meeting. and
| am going to look up acquaintances. l shall
he thinking of you all the evening, especially
up to 10 O'Clock. Mother will come to you to-
morrow"
On another day he wrote:
Daring Kate, how kind of you to send
anything to enliven life here; you had better
send yourself, labelled this side up"
Laughter.
On Dec. 10, 1882, he said:
IF YOU could feel how my heart leapt unto
you there as | watched YOUR fearful and sOr-
rowfu face when the ship left"
On March 4, 1855. the defendant wrote from
Claremont Terrace, Preston Park that he
was ''sorry he had caused her so much
anxiety. 1t was betterto tell the truth in
stead of saying he had an affection for her,
which he had not.'
For the defense IL was commended that the
defendant was in consumption, and that
therefore the plaintiff had a lucky escape
from marrying him.

The Tariff Issue in Maine.

The organs of the protectionists are
showing great alarm at the growth of the
sentiment in Maine against the protective
tariff. The Democratic leaders there are
pushing the tariff issue to the front with
all the logic and eloquence they possess,
and they are making very great progress.
They did the same thing IN 1894, and their
success was very marked. 1t was SO
great, in fact, that, taking into considera-
ton the progress they are now making,
they are encouraged to believe that tariff
reform will, in the very near future, win
a notable triumph in that State.
A majority against the protective tariff
in Maine would mean great deal
Almost every town has manu-
featuring interests of greater or
less extent. The people for years have
entertained the belief that without pro
tective tariff these manufacturing indus
tries could not exist. This belief has
been strengthened by the argu-
ments and appeale OF the
Republican leaders, who understand
that when the people there begin to see
that the protective tariff Injuries rather
than helps their interests they will have
no further use for the Republican party.
If Maine, with her great manufactur-
ing interests, declares against protective
tariff, it will not be long before other
| States, that are now Republican. simply
because they have been led TO believe
| that protection is necessary to their pros
perity, will be found supporting the Demo-
cratic party.
The election in Maine this week, there
| fore, has broader significance than that
which is attached to the simple struggle
! for the control OF the State offices. OF
this fact Mr. Blaine is evidently aware.
Since the campaign began he has been on
the stump almost continuously, and the
burden OF his arguments has been in be-
half of the protective tariff.
! If Maine should be lost to the Republi-
can party on the tariff issue that party
wouldn't have one chance in ten OF elect.
ing it's Preside in 1888. 1t wouldn't
have an issue on which 10 conduct the
campaign. Even n reduction OF the usual
Republican majority under the circum-
stances would have very damaging
effect on it.

Dividing the Spoi1s.



Directly following the election in 1875,
when Mr.. Tilden's accession to the Presi-
dency was confidently expected, Manton
Marble, Henry Watterson ana John c. ia
cobs were sitting with the old gentleman
around his mahogany, and to their own sat
isfaction were parceliDg out the rewards OF
office. Jacobs insisted that Marble ought to
be Secretary of State and that Watterson
should be sent as Minister to Germany. For
his own part John was willing to accept the
consulship to LIVERPOOL, which he understood
was the richest office in the gift OF the Presi-
dent. The friends were all agreed that the
disposition which they had made of them
selves would be admirable. Finally one OF
them spoke up and said to Mr.. Tilden:
"Now. Governor: be frank for once and tell
us just what you intend to do with us"
Holding glass Of sherry in his hand, Mr.
Tilden looked at them steadily and said, in a
calm and measured way:
Gentlemen, you shall all have the reputa-
ton OF being influential with the admlnistra-
ton"
And that's all they got out of him.
