EDUCATION AND MANUAL LABOR

From the Memphis Avalanche
One % the objections nov and then
made to the levy OF tax sufficient to
bring the public schools OF Mem phis aud
OF other cities up to the highest standard
known in private schools, is that it has a
tendency TO take young men and women
out OF Che field OF manual labor. IL ia in
sisted that young man who has received
a high school education ia lost to the
trades. This was the theme OF an able
discourse delivered last week before the
national association OF builders, at Phil
adelphia, where the master builders have
undertaken to bring into the trades the
young men who graduate from the pub
lie and private schools. He declared that
the fault was rather with the trades than
with the young men. Master mechanics
he said, sent their sons 20 the New York
trade schools from all parts OF the United
States. They wish them to be mechan
ics, but they also intend that they shall
frat have had what all Americans need a
good education, which, If they entered
the shops as boys, they could not get. II

him a trade, help him when he

II is now substan TALLY assured that the
creation OF four new states-NOrth aud
South Dakota, Washington and Montana
will be authorized by the present con
gress. The DakUtas and Washington
should have been admitted before. The
eIigenoies of partisan politics alone eI-
oiuded them until it became apparent
that further exclusion would be npossi-
BILE Representative Cox deservea great
credit for having refused further to take
partisan view of the case and for in
aisting that the application Of the terri
tsries for admission should be considered
entirely on their merits, Congress is as
fully justified in excluding Utah and New
Mexico from admission as states as 1t il
in admitting the others. Utah ia still
dominated by poygamy and New MeHi3o
il more Spanish than American. Until
polygamy ia torn up by the roots in one
and Americans predominant in the other,
both should be compelled to remaia under
territorial governments.

A saEoIAL committee of the Ohio legis
lature, which has occupied year IN the
investigation OF trade combinations, re-
ports the discovery OF any number of
trusts and pools in coal production, oil
school books, matches, straw board,
wooden screws, -four sacks, cordage, oat-
meal and many other articles of trade. 1t
rejects with some derision the argument
that these combinations can affect greater
economy in production than small Gao,
ital, and are therefore In accord with a
natural law; and recommends legislation
forbiddiug any union of competing con
Germs for the purpose OF fixing prices
and regulating production. A forfeiture
of corporate charters, the committee
thinks, would provide only partial rem
edy, as it would leave untouched private
concerns to which the corporate property
would doubtless revert in case such action
was taken.

Views on the Pension Question.
One turns up very queer characters
quite unexpectedly in big city like
New York. Here was one that a re-
porter ran across. He is cab driver,
who, in accepting Christmas gift of
small coin, said: ''No, sir; l won't
smoke with it, but it will come in
handy just the same. / was laid off
five days last week. I have a trouble
that one doctor says comes from a
wound got before Richmond. and that
another doctor says the wound has
nothing to do with. 1 suppose there
are plenty getting pensions for less
than that, but won't take one. Oh,
yes, could get one. Congressman
- and Lawyer - have both been
kind enough to say they would get me
one. but. you see, would have to
make oath that my trouble is due to
my wound, and that can not do con-
scientiously, for I'm not sure it's true.
A man must have some honor about
him.

Army. I never joined. because it
seemed to me that when we quit fight

them alive as the Grand Army does.

admit that President Cleveland did
more to end the differences between
the two parts of the country than any
other man. and now we're going to
have another President who will do
still more.

With murmuring: When you see the one
Think kindly sometimes Of the other"
This heart must always do your will:
This heart your maid can fetch and Garry:
This heart will faithful be, and still

Would throb and flutter every minute;
But this, except it hold your rings.

In pure affection consecrated
But happier far the heart like this,
That heeds not whether lone or mated;
That stands unmoved in beauty's eyes:
Tha: knows not if you leave or take it;
That is not hurt though you despse,
And quite unconscious when you break it.
That other heart would burn and freeze,
But this will always stand at ease,
And never pet and never vex you.

THE souTHERN QUESTION:.

Some Good Advice for Mr.. Harrison and
HIS Putative Advisers 49,
1t has been given out by Colonel
Quay. the present master and leader
of the Republican party. that General
Harrison intended to make the
Southern question" prominent. and
would so settle it that Justice would
be done theicolored people. How Mr..
Harrison will make it - prominent. -
Or how he will do Justice to the
negroes, is not definitely stated By
the Southern question is presumably
meant the alleged suppression of the
negro vote. Whether the new President
will resort to military governments.
or to returning boards, or to a Presi-
Dental commission, is not known, but
if he will recur to the not very distant
past he will find that all those expert
effective in bringing the whites and
black of the Southern States into
political equality. 1t was found that
there must be either white domination
or negro domination. and seven years
OF the latter satisfied the people of the
United States ON that score for all
time to come. 1t was at last the North
that demanded that military and
negro rule in the South should cease,
and Hayes in carrying it out only
obeyed the command of the people of
the North.
Meantime if Mr.. Harrison thinks he
has mission to cure the ills incident
to illegal and fraudulent local elections
the Herald would advise him to try his
apprentice hand on Indiana He
| knows that State pretty thoroughly,
its people and its politicians. He
could therefore go roundly to work
with them. He knows the men, or can
easily be introduced to them, who
handled the blocks of five," and with
but very little turning of the screw
he can find out precisely how much
per head they cost. A thorough course
of Indiana investigation might at least
prepare him for his Southern. expert
ment Without some such prior prac-
tice the chances are that he will find
himself in maze of difficulties before
he gets half way into the Southern
question. He would better make the
Indiana question prominent first.
Then with what stomach he has left he
can turn Southwark Chicago Herald.
