Our Schools.

That Richmond has attained considera-
BILE magnitude as city may be seen from
the fact that 1883 pupils have already
presented themselves for enrolment in the
public schools. while in parochisl schools,
colleges. institutes, and academies here
nearly 5000 other students are in attend
ance. This does not include Manchester.
which, having about one eighth OF our
population. adds to the aggregate nearly
in that proportion.
The educational advantages offered in
this community are far better than ever
before. We have institutions Of the high
est grade, including schools of law and
medicine, schools of technology, business
colleges, etc. The man that goes forth
into the world learned in his profession or
vocation in all that is taught in Richmond
has q valuable equipment.

Gordon and Norwood.

The letter of the Hon. L. III. NoRwooD
addressing General GonDoN as my dear
JONI BoYcorr GORDON" Is bitterly sati-
rical review of the distinguished Geor-
cian's political career. The writer strongly
insinuates that GORDON left the Senate to
make room for BRowS and for mercenary
considerations. and he characterizes the
General as MULBERRY SELLERS in railway
matters.
The Atlanta Constitution tried TO inter-
view GoRDoS as to what his reply would be,
but he simply said: Il shall be content to
leave The people of Georgia to reply to Mr.
NoRwooD's letter"
The Charleston Ne'es and Courier. which
is close enough to the field of battle to
see it all. yet distant enough not to be
mixed up with the combatants, says that
the people of Georgia understand the
situation and will take care of GORDON,
who, according TO NoRwooD. again aspires
TO United States senatorship.

Columbian Fair.

At last the site for the Chicago EXPOSE
tion is fixed.
The national commissioners were not
willing to have the exhibition divided into
two parts, separated by five miles distance.
and they forced the local authorities To
furnish a more suitable situation. No
objection can be raised against the parks
selected. They are of great size and are
fairly accessible. Now it remains for the
people of "the Breezy City," as the me.
tropolis of the Northwest IS sometimes
sarcastically designated, TO raise the money
they have pledged and proceed with the
earnest, practical work of the undertaking.
They will find out that they have no time
10 lose. The year 1892 Is at no very great
distance from US.
We doubt not that Chicago will provide
suitable buildings for the Fair, but it must
do something more. II is far away from
the populous centres of the Atlantic coast,
and with respect TO the country generally
is approachable only by rail lines. These
should be induced TO make very low rates
both fo- passengers and for exhibits. In
less this is done Chicago cannot hope to
secure the patronage that was bestowed
upon Philadelphia III 1876.
We hope that Virginia will send TO Chi
cago agreat exhibit. II is not to her credit
that she failed to do this at Philadelphia;
artpeution Of this penny wise and pound
foolish policy would not be approved by
the tax-paying community and would be
unworthy of State which is enjoying
such industrial Developments as is ours to-
day. Our idea is that the General Assem-
bly, should at least appropriate enough
money to erect Virginia house on the
exposition-eroundsa and employ custodian
of It, aud that the cities and counties and
railroad and improvement companies
would be Wiling TO do the rest. Rich
mond should avail herself Of the oppor
tuntsy by sending samples from every
workshop here. We know other caties that
will certainly do SO. 1t is not too soon te
begin thinking about all this.

the tariff on the farming community, and
argued IN favor of opening our market:

markets of the world unhampered. This
