Mr.. Whaling, member of the Board
of Education, sends considerable COM
munication to the HERALD, in which he
sets forth that; first, no attention has
been paid by the board to recent sug-
gestion on his part to have kindergarten
schools established for the benefit of
children under years of age, and, Sec
ond, that there is something queer about
the anxiety displayed by the Finance
Committee that the fire insurance busi-
ness should not be taken away from
them and placed in the hands OF the
Building Committee. Mr.. Whaling
thinks that there is "boodle'' in it some
where. When the matter came to a
vote Mr.. Whaling refused to participate,
for the reason that he wanted to sift the
matter before deciding whether the
change should be made or not.

Mrs. Edgcomb,s Statement.
EDITORS HERALD-I am very sorry that
l have to ask you to allow me to make q
short statement in regard to my troubles.
l wish to explain the statement made by
Mr.. Brooks in Justice Lockwood's court
yesterday, and which was published in
your paper, the Times and Express. l
do not like to speak of it, but as it was
80 unkind, and coming, as it did, when
am in such trouble, l want the public to
know about it. l had requested Mr..
Brooks not to appear in the case any
more for two reasons; one was that we
we're poor and were unable to bear 80
much expense, and then, for reasons
that l regard as good and sufficient to
myself, 1 thought it best for him not to
appear again. We treated him kindly,
and had agreed to pay him 500 for what
he had done. 1 thought be was my
friend until he made the remarks in
court. l feel that he ought not to have
made the remarks for the purpose of
publication to my prejudice, when 1 am
in such trouble; and this, coupled with
the renewed effort of the District Attor-
ney to prevent the case from being tried
by trying to get the Court to make me
give bond for all expenses of the trial,
when he knows l am poor and have so
long suffered such awful crime at the
hands of my father, made me quite sick
last night. But am finding new friends
every day, and they say the people will
not allow me to perish, and my prayer to
God is they will not suffer for it.
Thanking you, am, respectfully,
Mrs. MALTA EDGCoMB.

PRESIDENT ELIOT, of Harvard, has,
in speech delivered in Boston on Sat
urday, declared himself to be an un-
comprising supporter of the principles
of the Democratic party. The princi-
Piles of that party, he states, are the
principles of his own earnest convic-
tons.
The administration of Harrison could
not in his opinion bear comparison
with that Of Cleveland, whom ne justly
praised for having sacrificed his own
political fortunes TO prevent a waste
in the expenditures of the government.
As Characteristic of the Massachu-
sets Republicans, it may be mentioned
in this connection. that the managers
of the Republican nominee for Gov
ei nor have declined to make engage
ments for him to have JOINT debates
with Mr. RUSSELL the Democrat nomi-
nee, on the ground that such debates
were "of Southern origin and custom. 20
This is worthy of the worst days OF
the abolitionists.

An incident recently occurred at
Franklin Courthouse, in this State as
related in the letter Of our LynchouIg
correspondent on Saturday, that throws
much light on what the people Of VIZ
ginia must expect il Malone Is elected
t. the govornorship Of this state TINS
fall.
Malone had an engagement to speak
at Rocky Mount. and the Republicans
tried to secure large warehouse at
that place for his accommodation Dut
the owners very properly declined to
open 1t for such purpose.
Malone arrived and made his speech
from d stand on the court green. HAY
ing heard of the refusal Of the owners
of the warehouse to allow MIN the use
OF their building. he became so iniiam-
matory in his address that the negroes
were aroused to the highest state OF tx
citement against the whites.
A few days subsequently to this
Lieutenant Governor Massey made
speech at Rocky Mount. and IN the very
warehouse which had been denied to
Malone. This had such an effect on
the negroes that they freely proclaimed
their intention OF burning the town. Ii
was not very long afterwards that the
warehouse was found to be on fire.
1t is stated by our correspondent that
while 1.-THE white people were lighting
the flames desperately. negro men and
women we're walking around laughing.
singing. and yelling that Parson slassey
had fired the warehouse and that the
town would be burned To the ground.
TIE Colored people Of this place, he
adds. "are more insolent and iutolerant
towards the whites now than has ever
been known since the war. All CONES

This is but one instance among many
Of similar kind that are reported
from all parts Of the State. And 1t Is
most natural that these instances should
occur. The negroes. who constitute the
vast bulk Of Malone following, are
being appealed to. not only through
their parlisanship. bat also through
their race instincts. Either appeal
would be strong enough in itself to
create among them a most violent ten
dency to disorder. but when both influ-
ences are brought To bear on them al
the same time, it is not surprising that
they commit the most heinous acts OF
which men can be guilty

In recent Baptist assemblage Of
mainly Northern ministers in Washing

the American type, that a day of fasting
aud prayer should be appointed IN view
Of the woes of our colOred fellow citi-
ms Of the South, but the doctor at
once converted threatened dlscord into
laughter and good humor by suggesting
the propriety of fasting and prayer over
some OF the Ills affecting the section Of
the country Represented by his pious
brethren.
IL would be well if in every similar
emergency We could have at hand a
champion so skiiful in fence and SO
amiably aggressive. for the wcll-known
breadth Of his patriotism will always
secure him an attentive hearing IN the
North as well as the South. Incidents
such as we have mentioned IN no way

In truth, we doubt whether there IS a
single man south of the Potomac who
would loosen single tie which binds
together our common country, for aside
from patriotic sentiment. We are already
largely indebted TO Northern capitalists
for the progress we have made. and can
have no interest or desire except TO
strengthen a movement Of capital which
promises 80 much for the increase Of
our wealth and power. With universal
suffrage it is inevitable that We must
have every phase Of political and fanat-

together in indissoluble bonds Of com
mon Interests it is impossible that the
stronger section can long Cypress the
weaker without bringing on evils which
will work their own cure, as was Illus
