n-. = plantation Mistress.

Miss WINNIE DAVIS contributes TO our
columns this morning valuable article on
the life of typical southern lady living
on a plantation before The close Oh tue
war.
The facts are all right. but she must
have gotten them from her mother ana
others. as she is too young to speak Oh
sucb things from her own knowledge, as
she was born in Richmond during the war
nj "the White House of the Confede-
racy."
Miss WINNIE gives a faithful picture OF
the duties and responsibilities that the in-
stitution Of slavery imposed upon the mis-
tress of the plantation, and shows how
the mistress became the pastor teacuer'
doctor. spothecary. and friend OF Oil ner
denendents. 1t is q sweet and ever-to-oe-
treasured phase of southern life when
sbe depicts. and is worth barrel OF the
ordinary articles hslf-defending and half-
apologizing for slavery.
Negro slavery was one of the institutions
beousathed to US by our English forefa-
theirs. We begged them not TO fix 1t upon
ma. but they were q hsrd-headed, deter
mined set and would not listen to our pro-
tests.
Thus fastened upon Us we could not
easily shake slavery off: but that we dId
much 10 improve the condition OF the ne
gro impartial history must declare. The
difference between the native African as
recently seen in his forest home by STAN
LEY. and the "Afro-American of to-day
shows whether American slavery was bene-
fetal or prejudicial to the race. And OF
all persons in the world that one to which
the negro owes the greatest debt of graft
tude tor his elevation Is the plantation

Southern Histories.

The discussion at the meeting of the
Veterans Historical Committees recently
held in this city emphasized most forclbly
the suggestion that had been thrown out
by this paper, that, in addition to
school history of the late war. the South
needs history of the United States from
O southern standpoint. school history
of the war, with on Introductory chapter
devoted to the causes which led to the con-
fiict. is an immediate necessity of our
educational system. and. judging from the
number Of historiographers who are said to
be at work on such a volume, the ne
cessity promises to be speedily met. AS
was pointed out by several of the gentle
men who took part in the discussion in
the committees, the school history should
be modelled strictly upon pedagogic lines
and be compilation of indisputable facts.
Nothing else is needed for the fu,flment
of its mission. which is the implantlng il
the minds of our children of clear and
accurate conception of why the South re-
sorted to arms and the part she played
after the die was cast.
The more ambitious and comprehensive
work must, III the nature of things, wait.
but its mission is no less important than
that of the proposed school history. We
itcrate, therefore. the view expressed in a
previous reference TO this subject, that the
best method of gathering and preserving
the material for the use Of the future his
torian who shall undertake this labor is
university extension. Let our various
institutions of learning pay special atten-
ton to southern history, not only within
their historical class rooms but in the mat
ter Of lectures open to the general public.
The latter would awaken an interest in
the cause of southern yindication-an in
terest in the cause of truth-that would
stimulate writing on special phases of
southern civilization. sociology. institu-
tons, and methods Of thought. thereby
putting into accessible form vast and in
valuable store of facts from which the
coming compiler may draw.

student " Cribbipg" Virginia.
he Editor of the Ne,o York World.

To ne Editor or ne Nel1 YORK World:
notice in your issue to-day that your
Princeton correspondent in his dispatch
concerning the investigation by a COM
mittee of students into the dishonesty Of
certain undergraduates during the recent
examinations at that institution, saws :
Never before have undergraduates been
tried by their college mates tor an infrac-
ton of rules passed by the faculty." 1t 10
certainly high time that public opinion ~
among the Princeton students should put
an end to what has been and continues to
be in so many of our colleges disgrace to
these institutions. Public opinion"
among the students themselves can alone
stamp out cribbing."
beg to state that the method OF pro-
cedure described by your correspondent
has obtained at the University of Virginia
for more than fifty years. No student
there could crib" in examination and
expect any recognition from his class
mates. At that institution whenever al
undergraduate is guilty of cheating in ex-
animation or OF any kindred dishouorabi
conduct he ia at once tried by commit
tee of students and summarily expelled.
Public opinion" demands prompt in
vestigation. and in all cases the punish.
ment is Draconian for the guilty-expul-
sion.
There 10 absolutely no need for the
faculty TO move IN the matter. % the stu
dents conduct the investigation with per-
feet fairness. Each student appends TO
his examination paper q pledge. stating
ION his honor ~ O gentleman that he has
neither gwen nor received help during
this examination" There is no watching.

Senile Dementia.

Doctors WILLIAM w. PARKER, OscAE WI
LEY. and r. ID. McILwArSE, who were APP
pointed commission to inquire into
the present condition of our lunatic ssy-
lums, report to the Governor among other
things that hundreds OF the patients now
filing the insane asylums of the State are
persons suffering from senile dementla. or
from lunacy or imbecility in harmless and
incurable forms.
Their report, in fact, confirms the
opinion that has long prevailed in
too many instances the counties and cities
reduce expenses at their poor. houses by
sending to the ssylums persons who could
and should be cared for at the charge of
the counties, instead of at the charge OF
the State.
1t seems, however, that the commission
regard the county poor-houses and the
asylums both as unsuitable places for
many of these patients. In the poor
houses they can't have proper attention;
in the asylums they take up the room
which could be better filed by insane per-
sons whose disease Is durable. The main
tenance of county poor houses costs $780,
900 per annum, and the commission sug-
gests the propriety Of establishing State
hospital and work in which all pau
pers Gncludlng those suffering from senile
dementia, &c. could be cared for; aDd
they present figures to show that 1t would
be more economical than our present sys-
TEN. That in many respects it would be
great improvement upon our present way
of doing business there can be no doubt.
But can We just now afford the cost
Wouldn't We have to have two hospitals
one for white and one for colored-and
wouldn't the transportation charges ill.,
volved amount to great sum-
The DISPATCH would like to see the asy-
lums for the insane cleared OF the harm
less incursbles who now occupy so much
room, and each city and county made TO do
its duty with respect to its paupers. but
we may doubt if the plan of the commits
sion for State hospital and workhouse is
practicable just now. though later on it
! may be.
One recommendation Of tho commission
we unreservedly endorse, and that is that
the law with relation to the comnittal Of
| lunatics be so amended as to require that
| q Judge and at least one physician shall
pass judgment upon all persons who are to
be admitted into our asylums. The over
whelming testimony of those who from
their positions and professional training are
best qualified TO Judge is that the present
law committing the duty of examination
to three Justices Of the peace does not work
well. Hence the desirability of the change

Is Fear CoWardicer

That is a very interesting article which
we publish this morning giving the views
of several eminent Confederate generals
on the question whether fear in soldier
Is cowardice.
The predominating opinion is that fear
is not cowardice; indeed. General CHEAT
HAM is quoted as SAYING: The man who
says he goes into battle without fear is
either an idiot, lunatic, or liar."
We are not prepared to take such ad-
vanced ground as that. but we venture to
say that many of the men who have distin-
gulshed themselves for courage have often
had Courage and Fear wrestling for the con-
troll of their destiny. In many instances,
and in some where it would be least sus-
pected, we doubt not, pride has supplied
the place of courage.
Many and many good soldier on the
eve Of battle, worn with anxiety and the
loss of sleep, mindful of dear ones of
whom he was the sole support, has found
it necessary to screw his courage to the
stlcking-place."
We should say that the courageous man
Is he who conquers fear. and the coward is
he who yields to it.

o he Editor Of he Dispatch:

To he Editor of the Dispatch:
At the second annual conference of ne
eroes, held on the 2lst instant, at Tuske-
gee, Ala. IN one of the resolutions adopt
ed they say: The increased frequency
of lynchings in the South are not only in
furious to the cause of good morals, but
that they greatly retard ITS prosperity by
keeping capital away and by checking i'm
migration
don't see that they anywhere denounce
the perpetrauon of the horrible crimes
which lead to the lynchings refer ed TO.
The negroes may rest we'll assured that so
long as they continue to crafty their lusts
at the expense Of the white women and
children lynching will continue IN the
South.
Some of the negro editors declare that
Lynch law must co." IL the negroes con-
tinue TO live among the white people of
the South they must either learn 60 act
like civilized human beings or have visited
upon them the speediest and severest
penalties due to thelr diabolical crimes.
While lynchngs do not entirely arrest the
crime OF assault upon white women their
practice does unquestionably diminish the
frequency of such occurrences.
No, lynch law will never go" so long
as the protection and safety of the white
women of the South demands its use and
infection. EARNEST

Mr. Harrity's Explanation.

We are prepared to believe Chairman
H.RnrrY's statement that he acted en-
tirely upon his own responsibility when
he sent out his circular asking each men,
Der of the next Congress who Las not de-
fined his position upon the question OF
the repeal of the SHERMAN silver law how
be stood upon that question. Mr.. HAREIrY
SAYS the circular was not sent out at hr.
CLEvELASD's request: and NJ. CLEVELAND
gives no sign that be ever heard OF 1t.
But all this does not import that the
President-elect was not informed in the
premises. We still regard as probably
true Mr.. PENDLEroN's suggestion that Mr..
CLEVELAND took that means Of ascertain
inc whether or not il would be worth while
for him to call an extra session OF
Congress this year. Unless Mr.. CLEyE-
LAND shall state that he was not priyy to
the sending out of the circular in ques-
ton, or Mr.. HABRiTY shall make more
explicit denial of the truth of the sur
mise We shall continue 10 believe that the
Chairman of tho Democratic National
Committee had spurpose in sending out
that circular But what purpose! He
could haye had none OF his own. OF what
possible value could the information
sought be to him ?

Extra Session Of the Senate.

President HARRIsoS has called the Senate
to meet in extra session on the 4th OF
March. This ia usual. Mr.. CLEyELAND's
Cabinet appointments will be ready on that
day, and the prospect is that they will be
confirmed without ado.
In its extra session the Senate may also
be needed TO act upon the Hawaiian
treaty, ns 1t seems quite unlikely that
that can be disposed of during the few
remaining DAYS Of this session. II left over
a. unfinished business. Mr.. CLEVELAND has
it in his power 10 recall the treaty and
submit a new one or indeed refuse to
countenance the project at all but 1t is
understood that he IS IN favor Of annexa-
ton.
President HARRIsoN's call for on extra
session of tho Senate has no bearing at all
upon whether there is or is not to be an
extra session of Congress. That is mat
ter for Dir. CLEVELAND to determine.
