EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH

The Blair educational bill, which recent
~ passed the senate and Is now under con
sideratiOn by the labor committee of the
house, though faulty in many respects, and
unwise as whole, is proving productive
OF good in provoking thoughtful discus
sion of the educational interests of the
south. The objections 10 be urged against
the measure of relief introduced by the
Senator from New Hampshire are that ii
makes appropriations out of the national
treasury for states that DO not ask or need
federal assistance in the education of their
citizens, and provides for federal supervis.
ion of that which primarily is alone of
concern to the states themselves.
That something must be done by the
general government to aid the states lately
in rebellion to rid themselves of the grow
ing evils Of illiteracy becomes more ap

subject The difficulty lies 10 devising a
plan that will accomplish this end and, at
the same time not establish a precedent
that at Il future day will return 10 plague

But one thing has been accomplished by
Senator Edmunds as a result of his warfare
on the President, and that the unlocked
for AS far as he is concerned. No, only
mas he by his course throughout the whole
contest demonstrated his lack Of political
indictment but he has as wed proven his
complete want of the elements of political
leadership. No man ever made so fierce a
struggle for party supremacy and party APP
plause as the Vermont senator, and no
man ever so signaily failed. The dicta-
torial assumption on his part of his right to
control the policy OF his party has been re
sented in more than one instance by those
Of his own faith, and in a manner that has
indicated to him that his republican iel-
lows in the senate will not have him TO
rule over them
His great reputation for profound learn.
ing and his long services to his party have
not saved him from these rebulfs,-tr0m
those who in past political contests have
deemed it the highest duty of republican
leader to go to the very extreme of partl-
sanship. In the good graCes of the party
at large he stands no better, for at no time
from the day that Senator Edmunds pre-
sented the resolutions of Censure from the
judiciary committee and made "the great
est effort of his life" till the vote was
taken upon them did the republican party,
as a party, deem TIA wise or eXpedient
thing to make war upon the President on
the question of official patronage. This
belief. strong at the outset Of the debate,
became mere fixed as it proceeded, and it
was demonstrated that the Presidents
course was sustained by a long line of pre-
cedents, and that the republican senators
were but stultifying themselves in oppos-
ing him.
With the people at large who are not
prone 10 listen to the dictates OF party
leaders and party CaucuSes, the Vermont
senator has, by his uncalled for and inju,
dicious attack upon President Cleveland,
immeasurably weakened himself The
credit given him by such for his virtual
rejection of Blaine in the late Presidential
canvass Is now withdrawn, and instead of
looking upon him ms statesman possessed
of sufficient courage to rise above cheap
party demagoguery, they view him as
nothing more or less than partisan poll
tcian, animated by no aim higher than
those which he so readily condemned In
the political monte bank from Maine.
Senator Edmunds is probably commercial
ly honest, and for this reason only is he to
be preferred as public man TO the cand:-
date of the republican party, whom he
could not he rtily support for the fresl.

the republican party when the 10Th amend
ment was enacted it now dryolyes upon con
gress to take such steps as will avert H.
The most feasible plan yet devised, as
well as the one fraught with the least dan
ger in the way of causing conflict De
tween the states and the general govern
ment, as 70 their respective rights, is that
proposed by a writer in in recent number
of the Princeton Rerie,r, who suggests that
Congress appropriate as a gift pure ana
simple, certain amount, TO be given year
'iy for ten years 10 each reconstructed
state, and to the border state OF Virginia,
for educational purposes, In orderto avail
itself of such appropriation, the state must
comply with number of conditions prece-
dent TO the receiving of the gift. those
conditions are, that definite number OF
schools be kept up in each county or dis
trict; that all school children of school
ace be compelled to attend them; that only
the elementary branches be taught, ana
that the money be apportioned and specif'
ically distributed by the central state au'
thorlty, which shall also select and assign
the teachers, each state receiving this gilt
to be required to make and publish yearly
full report, which would be sufficient In
formation to all concerned, stating exactly
how the money had been spent, how many
schools were kept up and how many schol'
ars we're In habitual attendance In each.
Only upon the fulillment Of III Sc condi-
tons shall the Secretary of the Treasury
pay over the sum so appropriated.
The advantage of such scheme over
the Blair bill is that the Federal authorities
do not 10y its operation interfere with state
matters, and the gift being for special
number of states under the stress OF unus
ual circumstances it will not establish an
unwise and unwholesome precedent. If
there be still danger lurking in it, the peo-
pie can better afford to take the risk Incl

fact that of the Il dry goods houses in this
city in those days, only two or three re

mains substantially the same. The growth
of the firm is part of local history. They
have been successful because they have sat

That the firm is to-day doing more business
