The Public SCHOOLS First.

The refusal of the House to pass DR.. Eel
tons bill appropriatiag $4,000 to the state
university, from the income to be derived
from the next lease of the Western and
Atlantic railroad, indicates very clearly
that it is the policy of the lie gislature 10
provide a good system Of public schools be-
fore giving any additional assistance TO the
higher educational institutions. There IS
no doubt that this policy is the correct one.
Although $I5, 900 would not be great
deal to take away from the public schools,
the loss of it would be felt by those schools
in some way. The chief objection u the
bill, however, was that the making of the
appropriation asked for would have indi-
Gated a policy different from that which has
been adopted with regard to educational
matters. TIE appropriation would have
been precedent for other and larger ap-
preparations for higher educatIoa. In fact,
the friends Of higher education would have
made the precedent, in all probability. the
basis of demand for pretty fair division
OF the money for educational purposes be-
tween the higher ed lcatlonal institutions
and the public schools
The MORNING NEWS has insisted, aud
still insists, that it is the duty of the state
to provide good system of common school
education for the childr Of the masses
before undertaking to build up institutions
of higher education, which can only be en-
joyed by a few. There is no doubt that
Georgians feel deep interest in the welfare
of the state university, and would like to
see it grow and prosper, but very few of
them are willing that money that can be
spared for educational purposes shall be
given to the university rather than to the
public schools.
There Is an awakening throughout the
state with regard TO public schools. Thou
sands of people who few years ago were
Indifferent about them are now their most
earnest advocates. 1t would be mistake
not to encourage this awakening, and the
only way TO do so is to use every dollar
that can be spared in perfecting the public
school system.
The state is bound to give a reasonable
amount Of support to the chronological
school for boys which it has established,
and it is probable that it will have to sup
port In the near future similar school for
girls. Public sentiment seems to favor a
training school for girls, and there is no
reason why they should not be dealt with
as literally as the boys. These training
schools must be cared for before the work
of building up the state university by state
aid is seriously entered upon.
The legislature, however much it would
like TO do something more for the state
university, must be guided in its acts by
public sentiment, and it is certain that the
people want the public schools and training
schools provided for before any more help
is extended to higher education 1t is time
the university was leaning little more
heavily upon the rich members Of Its alumni,
and it is probable that it would receive a
great deal of help from that source if it
were not state institution.

A Suggestion for the Alliance,

communication in yesterdays MORN
ING NEWS contains a suggestion that is we'll
worth the careful consideration of the
alliance cotton planters. 1t is that jute
bagging shall be used by members of the
alliance instead of cotton bagging this
season, and that the rs cents bale that will
thus be saved by them shall be contributed
to a fund to build jute bagging factories
to be controlled by the alliance.
1t is question whe Their the jute bagging
combination can be beaten if the alliance
persists in using cotton bagging. The agree
ment is quite general among cotton fac ors
and exporters that such cotton bagging as
that which is being used this season will not
answer the demands of commerce. 1t does
not afford cotton a sufficient protection.
The loss of cotton covered with cotton bag
ging is very great, because that kind
of bagging does not resist the rough
handling to which a cotton bale is subjected
from the time it leaves the plantation until
it reaches its final destination in the cotton
mills. Much Of the cotton packed in cotton
bagging thatreaches this market is virtually
without any covering at all. 1t must be
apparent to any one that cotton in that
condition must lose great deal in weight
on account of the droppings from the bales
There is another thing that must be taken
into consideration. 1t is that it costs more
to handle cotton packed in cotton bagging
than that packed in iute. The stevedores
are threatening to raise the price Of stow
ing cotton packed in cotton bagging. the
increased cost of handling and the increased
loss from wastage must eventually come
out of the pockets of the planters. The
spinners will only pay the market price of
the cotton they actually receive.
The duty on jute butts is not a burden
some one, ard if a determined effort should
be made next winter 10 have it removed
congress might be induced to remove it.
Whether tie duty is removed or not, the
| alliance planters can save enough probably
on this years crop, by using jute bagging,
to build jute bagging mills that will pro-
duce more than enough bagging to cover
their cotton next year. Their savings may
not be sufficient to build the mills without
other help but they will give them a con-
trolling interest in them.
alton of the alliance planters. They must
know that the factors and exporters are
their friends, and are ready to favor them
in any way they can. If cotton bagging
promised to be a success, the factors and
exporters would gladly encourage the man.
ufacture of it, aud would do all they could
to promote the use of it. AS yet, however.
they do not see in it any advantage to the
planters.
The plan pointed out in the communica-
ton referred to in this article appears to be
feasible one to defeat the jute bagging
combination, and great feature of it is
that 1t will cost the planters nothing beyond
what they will lose if they continue to use
cotton bagging. Why not give it some at
| tention!

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. OCTOBER 10, 1889.
Earrison's Hand in Virginia.

The campaign in Virginia Is increasing in
bitterness. Each party is making a very
vigorous canvass, and serious trouble before
the electi3 IN is not unexpected. Malone
is sparing no effort ami stopping at moth
ing TO secure success.
Ths democrats regard with surprise and
feelings of resentment the ADMINISTRATORS
Interference in the campaign in Mahone's
behalf. They hardly expected to have to
fight the administration as well as Malone.
Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson had
a conference with Malone in Petersburg on
Monday. 1t is surmised that Malone was
told that all the Virginia federal offices we're
at his disposal, and that any appointments
he desired would be made. Malone expects,
with this patronage at his command, to be
able to rally all the republicans, except the
few leaders who have declared war against
him, to his support
1t is openly asserted that the republican
national committee is supplying him lib
orally with money, as much as 5000
having been already furnished him.
1t seems rather remarkable that a re-
former, such as Gen. Harrison promised he
would be, should permit the federal offices
in great state to be bartered away to
secure the success of his party in that state.
What has become of his pladge that in
making appointments ne would be guided
by merit alone? The men whom Malone
wants appointed are his strikers and heelers,
who will persuade, by methods best known
to themselves, the black voters to go to the
polls and vote the republican ticket. Many
OF them, doubtless, have no fitness for the
offices for which Malone intends them.
But what does the President care for that?
He wants his party to carry Virginia, and
he seems ready to go to any length to ac-
complish that object.
Langston, the colored leader, has not
yet taken the stump for Malone. 1t is
understood that he will do so as soon as
the administration promises that it will use
all its influence to induce the republicans in
congress to give him the seat for waich he
is making contest, and to which there is
reason to believe he has no valid claim.
Thus congress and the administration are
expected to prostitute their powers that
Malone may triumph. What spectacle

in his breezy way criticism on a chrome which
some proud publisher had sent to him repre-
senting the general ri ing down the line after
the disaster at Cedar Greek with a regluental

Yesterday Mornings Fire.

The fire yesterday morning, by which
two cotton presses, several cotton ware
houses, and about 4 1000 bales of cotton were
destroyed, was a very disastrous one, but
as far as known it was purely accidental.
The origin of it is unknown. 1t burst out
suddenly and spread with remarkable
rapidity. The Waterman saw it when
it first made its appearance, but it
spread so rapidly that he had
no time to use the hose, which was close at
hand and ready for use, to quench it. The
fire department did what it could to stay
the flames, but it could do very little The
firemen say that they had plenty of water.
When a cotton fire once gets fairly started
in a warehouse it is about impossible to
check it, however many fire engines there
may be, or however ample the supply of
water
The fire will not interrupt the cotton bust
ness of the city. There are cotton
presses which have been idle and which will
be put In operation at once, if they have not
already been. The cotton business will
move right along, just as if the fire had not
occurred. By Nov. l the Central Railroad
Company will have a new press ready to be
operated, but there are enough presses with
out it to meet all demands for COMPRISING
The fire is greatly to be regretted, but
such accidents are to be expected. All that
can be done TO prevent cotton fires, either
on shipboard or in warehouses and presses,
is done apparently but, notwithstanding the
precautions that are taken and the watch
fllness that is exercised, they occur. 1t
isn't often, however, that 50 disastrous a
one as that of yesterday occurs, and that
would not have reached such proportions

Gen. Cameron's Wise Advice.
rom the PhiEddelphid Inqltirer


Don" Cameron is as cold as Ice and whec a
visitor has the rare good luck to see him, he
often wishes he hadn't been so successful. The
deceased Cameron, who was the friend aud at
times the patron of democrats and republicans
alike, conciliated everybody with whom he
came in contact. Some years ago, in Pennsyl-
vania, Don, who was beginning TO run things
with the dynastic force of the family, told his
father at Donegal one day: I'm going TO put
my man in as temporary as well ~ permanent
chairman of the republican state convention to-
morrow Don't do it," said Simon; "why
not conciliate the other faction by letting their
man go in as temporary chairman; it can't do
you any harm, and when the time for real work
comes your man will go in gracefully" Don
refused to heed this sapient counsel, and vowed
he'd have both places. "All right said the
old gentleman, have your own way but if
your man gets licked don't you come to me for
sympathy" Don persisted, and his candidate
for permanent chairman did get badly licked.
Den said his father that night, as they took
a glass of wine together: Don, when you die
you'll be richer, probably. than | will, but you
won't have half as big funeral,'
