1t is a noteworth by fact shown
by the census statistics of school
enrolment that in no Northern
State, with the unimportant ex-
ception of Rhode Island, and of
some of the new States in the
West, does the increase of at
tendance at the public schools
keep pace with the increase of
population, while in every South
ern State it is largely in excess.
The comparative falling off in
school enrolment at the North
probably indicates no more than
the familiar fact that the ma tural
increase of population, especially
in the East, is slow, while the
growth by immigration has not
brought corresponding pro-
portion of children to the public
schools. On the other hand,
the rapid growth of school en-
rollment at the South-from 4S
per cent. in Mississippi to 1873
per cent. in Texas-is simply the
recent effort to provide educa-
ton for the great masses of
blacks and poor whites, to which
SO much of the energy of the
Southern States has recently
been directed.

Improvement company that has
begun at Winston-Salem or that

part to secure success. 1t sug-
gests that if work is provided for
people they will come to find it.
Ii they come to find it they will
want houses. Ii they build hou-
ses there will be a city, the best
in the State, built up here. Fac
tories of all sorts furnish work.
Therefore organize factories-of
all sorts-to work up wood, cot
ton, iron. Not so much to make
iron as to make things that are
to be made out of iron.

Hon. David A. Wells asserts
that under the Mckinley law the
standard Oil Trust, one of the
greatest monopolies of the coun-
try, is a beneficiary to the extent
of 81 100000 a year in draw
backs on the tin used in it's ex-
port packages. Mr.. Wells adds
that notice was served by the
trdst on Mr.. MiKinley and his
associates that unless its inter-
ests were guarded and special
exemption from taxation gran
ted the Mckinley bill would not
be allowed to pass. AS II result,
special provision was inserted
in the act allowing a drawback
on imported tin-plate used in the
expectation of domestic pro-
ducts. Under this provision,
says Mr. Wells, while the ordina-
rv consumer, the poor farmer,
the Woodworking mechanic, must
pay about $6a..box for hisIinplate
while an overgrown, enormously
wealthy corporation will be able
to get it for So 50 a box. It is
the same old story of plIn6ering
the poor man in order to sspro-
tect'' the already pampered
monopolist.

An excellent example of tho liberal spirit
which has been exhibited by so many North
ern citizens Of great wealth is to be found in
the munifcent gift which George 5. Pepper,
of Philadelphia, has just made for the estab-
lishment of free library in that city. This
gift amounts to several hundred thousand
dollars, and Mr.. Pepper has intimated that
he intends 20 add very largely 10 his donation
as soon as the proposed library Is in actual
operation The city of Philadelphia will also
appropriate an annual fund for the promotion
OF the usefulness of the new library by in
crcasing the number of its books and pro-
vidins whatever facilities may be needed TO
maintain it in good condition.
The gift Of Mr.. Pepper is very much larger
than that Of Mr.. Bates who founded the
Bates Public Library in Boston. which Is now
considered to be the first in America and is
not improbably tho first in tho world Of its
kind.
The enormous benefit TO be derived from
such gift as that Of Dir. Pepper is really in
estimable Large in itself, it will become the
nucleus Of other donations until in time the
whole Will swell TO proportions that will be
truly magnificent This has been the history
Of each Of the great libraries Of the North.
After the first step the generosity Of other
public-spiritcd citizens las come int, play.
and the result is an institution that in time
attains TO a reputation that extends far be-
yond the boundaries Of the community in
which it is situated.
We trust that tic day viii soon arrive when
a similar liberal spirit Will be displayed in the
Southern States, an event that can be an
ticipated with confidence when the accumu-
lated wealth of those States has reached any
great proportions.

The Georgia melon has begun to move.
shipments are little late this season but
they are increasing rapidly. and the demand
in the Northern and Western markets VIII
probably be larger than ever.
First-class melons, full ripe now bring from
slZ5 20 $3.50 q car. and the growers are en-
deayoring 20 put their crop IN the market as
rapidly n possible. because the price will de-
cline as the season advances.
The railroads have made creditable efforts
10 handle the crop and 10 provide cars which
Will protect the melons. The growers will de
rive much benefit from their exchanges, which
make provision for the placing Of the crop ut
most advantageous points.
The yield this year will be very large and Of
course great deal Of il will be wasted. but If
our farmers can get in a portion of IL prompt
ly 10 market, they will find considerable
money in their melons.
The Georgia melon holds It's own at the top
of the market and grows in favor every year.

Miss De Grafienreid. who has won consider
able reputation by her Investigation of the
condition Of the "cracke.s" whoare employed
in the cotton mills of Georgia an account of
which she published in recent number of
the Century magazine has now written an
article which throws very painful light on
the condition OF the children who work in the
factories Of tie different States on the Eastern
seabOard
After the careful examination which Mss
De Grahenreld has made she finds that
children of the teuderest age, in spite Of the
provisions of the law. are employed both I'm
the Northern and Southern States in manu-
featuring operations that require m amount
Of strength and endurance far in excess Of
what can be Justly expected Of persons Of
their years.
In Pennsylvania 10000 of the 5000 textile
employees who are found in that Common
wealth are children under fifteen, and Of the
81 900 employees who are at work in the coal
regions Of the same State $4,000 are boys, of
whom not less than 4 900 have not yet passed
their fifteenth year
Eleven per cent. Of the white operatives Of
Georgia are children under twelve many
being only eight or nine. Out Of 500 opera
tiyes in one mill in that State at least one
sixth are less than thirteen years of age
In Massachusetts it is estimated that 1859
per cent of the children employed in the fac
tories are under fourteen years of age. In
Connecticut the average age Of the children
IN the factories is about fourteen
As a result of this employment Of young
children N factories the larger proportion
grow up in illtoracy. IN Massachusetts whole
families arc losing identity from their inability
to spell their names neither parents nor chill
drcn having enjoyed any Advantage Of educa-
ton from the fact that they were employed
in the mills throughout the period when they
should have been learning 10 read and write.
Twelve per cent. of the children in the fac
tories of Connecticut areu unable 10 white their
own names or TO read from elementary books.
And the same lamontable condition of affairs
prevails in Pennsylvania and also in Rhode
Island, in spite of the law that school attend
ancc shall be compulsory
Wherever children are employed rs opera
tives in factories under certain age, neces-
sarIly the same ilhteracy prevails, and will
continue t. prevail unlcssa stringent law shall
be passed providing that no child under fiji
teen shall be given employment.

Second. that class OF cases which are
brought into the Supreme Court ostensibiy
in good faith. but in reality merely to secure
delay in the final settlement Of the matters

large that they are particularly obstructive OF
the objects for which the Supreme Court was
established. and their removal would do much
TO insure the progress of justice. Third that

preme Court docket under the influence oil

These three classes Of cases. as will be seen
at glance, must necessarily take up large

The majority OF cases brought up on writs Of
habeas corpus will also be adjudicated in the
appellate courts.
In all the cases which we have mentioned 1t
is still optional with the appellate judges
to refer matters with. regard to which there
is room for doubt to the Supreme Court, and
this willibe necessary in all cases involving
the same issues which are decided in one way
in one appellate court and in a directly OPP
posite way in another appellate court.
Chef-Justice Fuller expressed himself
as feeling no concern as to the effect
Of the new courts upon the power
and dignity of the Supreme Court. While
these courts will diminish the docket
Of the Supreme Court, they will not neces-
sarily curtail the work of the justices. The
latter Will still have as many cases before
them for decision as they can well attend 10,
and hereafter the nature Of these cases will be
more in keeping with the exalted character Of
the Supreme Court. A mass Of petty cases
involving ordinary principles will be swept
away, leaving general run of cases that will
relate to the most important principles that
can be passed upon in a court of justice.

RELIEF roK rnE srrKEME COURT.

IN an interesting interview with a represent
atiyc of the New IL rk Times, held during his
recent visit to New York city. Chiet-Justice
Fuller talked at length on tie different adj
vantages that Will be derived from the opera
ton OF the system of appellate courts estab-
lished under the provisions of the Eyarts' bill.
These advantages viii extend to the Supreme
Court and the sutton alike, for the amount Of
business now taxing the attention and ener
gies OF the justices viii he materially dimin-
ishcd, and the sutton viii no longer have any
reason to complain of delay in the settlement
of his case.
Under the system which has hitherto pre-
vailed the Supreme Court has been so over
crowded with cases that the docket is three
years behindhand. The law creating the new
appellate court, while not as broad in its pro-
visions as was desirable, nevertheless will
afford the Supreme Court such sensible relief
that in few years it will be in q position to
dispose Of the cases docketed by the end of
each term.
According to Chief-Justice Fuller the new
law will remove the following classes of cases
to the new appellate courts First. that LARGE
class to which preference is given by statute
as we'll as by the express order Of the Supreme
