EDUCATION AND THE ORDINANCE OF 'S7.
During the past year the number of ques-
tons addressed by school-children to the
Journals "query department concerning the
ordinance of 1884," indicated that the young
students found it difficult to obtain full and
exact information concerning that important
instrument. School text books give but the
merest outline of its character. and of the
events leading up to it, while the larger his
tories are somewhat discursive In the treat
ment of the matter. and, therefore puzzling

of the inquiries completely as to
suggest that the needs of the students have
been called to his atten ton. He describes
briefly and clearly the establishment of the

for the education of the people. 1t was the
ordinance of 17S1 that formally declared IN
favor OF the dissemination Of knowledge in the
article beginning Religion, morality and
knowledge being necessary to good govern
ment and the happiness Of mankind, schools
and means of education shall forever be en-
couraged." The last article reads: There
shall be neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude in said Territory Thus" says
Col Robertson, twas the great Northwest
Territory forever dedicated to freedom-free-
dom of religious thought, freedom from bond

'irrepressible conflict which wsged be-
tween other sections until, at last, all were
involved in the civil war which in 1865 wrote
upon our escutcheon the final decree-free-
dom Of body, freedom Of mind, freedom of
soul to every person throughout the land,
whether born black or white, bond or free.
Thus, too, was originated, or rather formu-

the most solemn manner to the cause of free

THE FLORIDA PLlGUE.

Even those who have had no personal ex-
perisnce with epidemics may readily picture
the horrors of the situation at Jacksonville. To
the natural dread of the d:sease-a dread
amounting to terror in many cases is added
the of isolation, OF, more properly, of des-
chiffon, which comes from being shut off from
the outside world. It Is when we are deprived
of liberty that it becomes sweetest, and only
when fSs. or fever, or earthquake, or other
misfortune comes that the people Of one re-
Eion realize their dependence upon another.
Thousands at jacksonville have no place of
refuge outside OF that town, no means of sup

from them as plague-stricken, freedom to

sympathy Of the world more to be desired.
The gloom that hangs over the town from the
deaths that have occurred, the uncertainty as

ordinary ceremonies of interment of the dead
all combine to create state of

OUR BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS.

DR.. W. B. Fletcher's speech in Tomlinson
Hall, printed in the Journal yesterday, should
arrest public attention, and will. il the public
Il alive to its interests. There is something
peculiarly shocking in his revelations con-
corning the condition of Affairs in the Insane
Hospital under rs present management The
case il, 80 far as we know, without parallel.
It is net an uncommon thing for ex-convicts
or discharged inmates of insane hospitals. who
still labor under some mental delusion, to at
tack the management of the prison or the
hospital, and essay to play the role of victim
or martyr Such statements are always to be
received with considerable degree of allow
ance. But this il a different case Here We
have an ex-superintendent of public insti-
tuition, one Lho, for several years, was its re-
sponsibls head and in position where it was
his duty to know all that was going on, who
now says that 1.-The whole institution is fes-
tsring mass of political corruption, wherein the
innocent are made to suffer-" and supports the
assertion with specifications and details cal
culated to make honest mems blood boil and
their fingers itch to get hold Of those who
have thus prostituted one of the States no
blest charities.
: All that DR.. Fletcher said concerning the
ioosensea Of our laws touching the commit
Hsnt o. l2ssns persons, is-true. The laws on
this subject are dangerously loose. They are
almost an invitation to abuse, and it is only
. question of time when some case of fragrant
abuse and outrage. perpetrated under their
cover, viii arrest public attention and empha-
size tie necessity of legislative reform in this
regard
But phase of the subject that comes
nearer home is that relating to the present
encouragement of the Insane Hospital. On
this point DR.. Fletcher is able to speak from
G1rsonal experience and observation His
testimony, coming from one who was on the
inside, and who stood the abuses as long as
his self-respect would permit and there was
possible opportunity to stand in defense Of the
outraged inmates, is entitled to all the weight
Of q competent and credible witness It
fully corroborates all that has been charged
relative to the abuses practiced in the hos
pital under its present management It
shows that the morale of the institution is
completely destroyed. its true purpose grossly
perverted, the interests and welfare OF its in
mates wantonly sacrificed, and its financial
resources and supplies Systematically reduced
By the picking ind stealing Of rascally ring
who are not ashamed to fa.ten off the mis-
fortunes OF the insane. DR.. Fletcher shows
that for years past the hospital has been
managed primarily in the interest of this ling,
and that the care and treatment of the insane
have been secondary considerations. Some
of his specifications viii call for further COM
ment For the present, it is enough to say
that his revelations constitute an appeal for
reform that should be heard and needed in
the remotsst corner Of the State.

immunity which it partly to the immense varie-
ty of its in industries and to the number of its small

This is hearsay evidence. 1t may have been
true once, but true it is not to-day. Small
masters mean for Birmingham home work,
where the enforcement of parliamentary acts ID
