Southern Public schools.

Richmond Times.
One Of the most credltable phases of
the history Of the Southern States since
the close Of the war has besn the suscess
full effort which these states have made
to establish public school system which
would extend all the benefits Of rudi.
mentary education to members OF those
classes Ia the community who are unable
to secure instruction at their own ex-
pense. The public school system
Was practically unknown in the
South previous to the ineugura-
tion Of the regime which now prevails.
L. was AN importation from the North
upon which was visited at first the sus-
piclon with which all importations from
rhat section we're regarded in the South
ern States in the beginning of the period
that succeeded the conflict between the
North and the South. Every year has
only sees the public school system more
firmly intrenched In popular esteem and
supported by nore and more enlightened
views. II had for a very long time to
contend with heated prejudice and active
hostility, but fortunately the obstruc-
tions so created have been removed. and
nothing OF Importance stands In the
way, snless it is a present inability
TO make very large appropriations,
to prevent the public school system
from being carried TO the highest state OF
development. When the Improvement
OF the south by the devastation Of the
war is considered, and its slow recovery
from the ruin into which 1t had been
plunged. 1t will be seen that the Southern
states have shown, in proportion to the
means at their disposal, the very highest
liberality and generosity. To the needs
Of the public school system, demands on
other public accounts have been sub
ordnated by Southern legislatures, even
when these demands were OF a more
pressing nature. In consequence Of this
spirit, the Southern public school system
has continued to grow frmer as great
Institution which is constantly expanding

BILE speeches in favor Of constitutional
convention, and the young Democrats
and the Young Mems Democratic Club
worked with sincere devotion to secure a
full vote. While Bayard, 6ray and Lore
spoke advocating a convention, Higgins.
Bird, spruance, NieIds, Hastings and
Bradford practiced law, made pro
tected" iron and sawed wood. II there
was any partlsanship In the question Of
calling the constitutional convention.
surely the Democrats have not showed
any of It, for they were anxious, after the
question was agitated, that the people
should consider it and decide 1t. That
the people have done, whether by apathy
or by active participation Is not i'm
portant, the fact remains that the people
must be allowed to do their own business
in their own way.

III is too early to guage the importance
Of the meeting Of the National Unior
Conference at Cincinnati. There are nc
results, no data, from which to make an
estimate Of the political force In the CON
ference, or to anticipate its effect on the
body polite. The New York Herald i
opinion is that
The real significance OF the event is
rather In its origin than In what NAV be
its immediate results, Ia the causes
which have led TO it rather than the
effects which may now come from It,
The conference shows wide dissatisfac
tion with the measures adopted by the
Republican party professedly in the
interests Of agriculture and labor. The
agricultural and industrial classes are
the very ones which are not satisfied.
The -Republican party's methods Of
promoting wealth and happiness have
brought poverty and distress to them.
The Herald continues:
Admit that the interests represented
are diverse, even incongruous and dis
cordant that visionary schemes may be
favored and extreme demands made. Ii
may be that no practical agreement will
be reached, no platform adopted, no
third party formed. All this signifies
nothing.
The event is significant because the
conditions which the Republican party
has sought to alleviate by increased tax
alton has naturally increased the evils.

Pensions for a Picnic.

The abuses Of the pension system are
illustrated by the manner in which 115
one-hundred-day men from Ohio have
been reinstated on the rolls. Their
scheme TO get pension was carefully
organized, and they succeeded in getting
on sometime ago. From evidence
furnished him, General Black ordered
these claims held up pending an investi
CATION, which was still pending when
Corporal Tanner came into Office. AS the
result OF the investigation they finally
were dropped, but now they have man
aged by some kind Of influence

They are to draw pensions
for the rest of their lives for one hundred
days play in Washington, in which they
never fired shot and never saw q rebel,
and In which not one Of them was even

rolls originally. Then they were hung up
and rejected, and now here they are

outrages as this which have brought
