Branch Colleges.

The position of the MORNING NEWS with
respect to branch colleges is very well
known, because it has stated 1t frequently.
There is no good reason why the state
should not assist in supporting such colleges
when its financial condition is such as to
enable it to do so without In jury to the
public school system. The states first
duty, however, is to provide frst-class
public schools in every county.
Notwithstanding the liberal appropria-
tious for public schools which the present
legislature, at its first session, made, the
public schools are far from what they ought
to be. In some of the counties there is a
want OF interest in educational matters, in
others the school houses are in a dilapi-
dated and unsightly condition, IN still 9TH
ers the teachers are not qualified for their
positions and the school houses have not
accommodations for all the children of
school age. The schools ought to be open
nine months each year, and there ought to
be the greatest care exercised in choosing
teachers and determining what shall be
taught.
There is nothing that would do the state
more good than a first-class public school
system 1t would make the people more
intelligent, more thrifty and prosperous.
and would lead to more comforts and more
happiness in home life 1t would influence
immigration and capital and would pro-
mote the development of the states re-
sources. The wise course, therefore, for
the state to pursue, is to apply every dollar
that it can to the improvement of the pub
lie schools.
There is nothing, of course, to be said
against branch colleges as institutions of
learning, but there is great deal to be said
against supporting them at the expense Of
the public schools IL is not just that the
great majority Of the children of the state
should be deprived of one or two months
schooling, in order that few children NAV
have superior educational advantages.
If the state insists upon giving anything
more for higher education than it at present
contributes let it give additional help to
the state university. Let the university
be made an institution that will compare
favorably with the best Of its kind in this
country. Let it be made so compete in all
its departments that Gsorgia's sons will
prefer it to either Harvard, Yale or Prince
ton. But let the public school system be
made equal to that of any other state be-
fore any more branch colleges are estab-
ished, or anything more is done for the
state university.

1t is not to be wondered at that the people
of Ohio have such erroneous impressions of
the south and the southern people, because
their newspapers seldom or never publish
the truth respecting any matter relating to
the south, however important the matter
may be. For instance, the Dayton (O1
Journal, speaking of the Dawson Mellow
case, published the following in its editorial
columns; "There was intense indignation
over the murder of Capt Dawson. editor
of the SAVANNAH News. There is uni
versal rejoicing over the acquittal of DR..
Mellow, who killed him, and was acquitted
on the plea of self-defense. As the evidence
showed that Dawson was shot in the back.
it would seem that he assailed his SLAYER
with his rear. Dawson was ga English ex-
rebel, but DR.. Mellow is a native of the
first family of Georgia caste" If the
chuckle-headed editor of the Journal had
permitted his printers devil to write
paragraph on the Dawson mellow case it
could hardly have contained as many errors
as the foregoing. The Dayton Journal is
evidently IN need of change in the edi-
torial department.

Senator Eustis, of Louisiana, thinks that
the Democratic party will remain in exist
ence long time yet, and he is right. In
his Fourth Of July speech in New York the
other day, he said: "No party will ever
live to write its epitaph. AS by the power
Of its Irresistible earnestness it destroyed
the federalists, the Wing and the Know
Nothing parties, so it will, ultimately, dis
lodge and destroy the Republican party"
The senator's reason for saying this, briefly
stated, was that the Democratic party Is
the marty Of the people.

this modest politician is kicking himself be-

Eustis' Fourth of July Speech.

Senator Eustis of Louisiana tells good story
at his own expense. Several days ago he pre-
pared speech which he proposed delivering at
Tammany hall July 4. He sent the manuscript
to type writer to be copied. When the man
ager of the establishment returned the manu-
script he remarked That's a rafting good
democratic speech, senator"
Senator Eustis who knows a good thing when
he sees it, thought so. too, but he remarked
handy "Ah you read it. | see"
No, said the man, Il did not, but the young
lady who copied it did She is stanch repub,
liean, and several times during the operation l
heard her eXelaim, That's a lie; that's a
horrd, nasty democratic hen so 1 knew you
must be preaching good democratic doctrine. "

Location of the Worlds Fair.

The question whether the worlds fair of
taken, shall be held in Washington. New
York or some other city is receiving good
Geal of attention from the press. The fair
Will be an immense one, as it is expected
that all the countries of North and South
America will take part in 1t. Washington
of course wants 1t, and claims it on the
ground that her citizens suggested it and
proposed that it should be held within her
limits. Another ground of her claim is
that she is the capital of the nation, and
the most beautiful city in the country.
1t must be admitted that her claim is a
pretty strong one, but the fact must not be
overlooked that the fair is not for the DUR
pose of clarifying or booming any particu-
lar place 1t should, therefore, be located
in the most eligible city-the city that can
the most easily be reached by the greatest
number of people, and that can take care
of the visitors, however great their number
may be.
The number of people who will visit the
exposition undoubtedly will be very great.
Has Washington accommodations for them.
and has she such attractions as vii! interest
theml 1t is very doubtful if she has.
When congress is in session all of her
hotels and boarding houses are full. If she
were to be selected as the place for the fair
the visitors would have to be satisfied
with inferior accommodations. Temporary
buildings would have to be erected, and it
is pretty certain that they wouldn't give
satisfaction. 1t is quite safe to say that if
the fair should be located in Washiugto
it would not be visited by half as many
people as if it should be located in New
York
New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City, and
the surrounding towns and villages, contain
ample accommodations for as great mum
Der as are likely to visit the far; and
besides, New York has many more attrac-
tons than any other city in the country.
She has a great many excellent hotels and
numerous places of amusement. All things
considered, New York is a much better
place for the fair than Washington, or, in
fact, any other city.

Certain republican newspapers have been
gloating over the statement that ex-Con-
gresham James E. Campbell, who will
probably be the democratic nominee for
governor of Ohio, is a protectionist, and
that his nomination would split the demo-
cratic party III Ohio. Mr. Campbell de-
clares, however, that he is in accord with
his party on the question of tariff reform.
He says he voted against the Morrison bill,
but for the Mills bill. This is not welcome

From nine O'Clock this morning
until after noon the examinations
and closing exercises at the above
school were held. Quite large
number of the parents and friends
of the pupils were in attendance.
Mr.. A. I. Atkinson, Inspector
General of Schools, and Mrs. Atkin-
son and Mr.. JOHN Bush of Iolani
School occupied seats in the main
schoolroom, the interior of which
was very tastily decorated with flow
ers and cvergreens.
This school was only erected a
few months ago, with two rooms,
but the attendance of children so
steadily increased that third room
had to be added. 1t is possible ere
long that further accommodation
may have to he provided.
The work of the pupils as shown
to the visitors this morning was Of
the most satisfactory kind. Eight
or nine nationalities are represented
among the pupils, which will show
to our readers the difficulties under
which teachers have to labor. But
it was quite evident during the
morning that the Principal, Mr.. G.
H. White, had worked hard during
the short time he has had the school
in charge, and his labors have been
rewarded with the most encouraging
results. Mrs. Wood and Miss White
have given able assistance.
About / 80 the closing exercises
consisting of songs, rccitations and
dialogues commenced. Some of the
reciLations were excellently render
ed, while the singing was consider
ably ahead of what is generally
heard at the schools. The audience
went away very much pleased.
