EDUCATION IN THE STATE.
Drs. Gambler and NunnaIIy Address
the Legislature.

the Legislature.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 9.-The opening guns
of the educational campaign before the
legislature were fired tonight. DIR. War
rem Gambler of Emory College and DR.. G.
A. Nunnally of the Southern Female Col
lege of LAGRANGE, both UNCONVENTIONAL
Institutions. were the speakers. They were
invited by a joint resolution of the as
sembly. and most of the members were
present in the House to hear them.
DR.. Gambler expounded the cause of
higher education in a forcible manner,
but made no decided reference to the
pending fight on the state university,
tional colleges should be put upon the
same basis with it in the matter of relief
from taxation.
DR.. Nunnally took the ground that the
states first duty was to perfect the COM
mon schools, as their work was a bene-
fit to the state. After the child passed
through this, higher education was a ben
eft to him more than to the state and he
should pay for it. He Illustrated his po-
sition by reference to the West Point and
Annapolis academies, where the students
are paid to receive an education, but in
return they pledge their service after
ward to this country. In the state, If
higher education is TO be furnished, the
recipients of il ought to bind themselves
to give something in return for it, to
teach in the common schools

Pistol Ball Fired Into "a Mans Neck
During An Argument.

Pistol Ball Fired Into "a Mans Neck
During An Argument.
Brandford, Fla, Nov. 9.-1At Burlington,
flag station seven miles south of here,
J. NJ. Quinn shot James Landrum last
night, a pistol ball entering the front part
of Landrum's neck, and lodging in the
upper part of the shoulder. The wound
will probably prove fatal.
1T seems that two Mormon preachers
have been operating in the Burlington
neighborhood for several weeks, and have
stirred up considerable interest, some of
the people accepting their doctrine, while
others oppose it. Quinn had espoused the
cause of the Mormons, and Landrum took
the opposite side, which brought about the
trouble.
Quinn was arrested, but was released
pending a preliminary trial. Quinn claims
to have acted in self-defense, though Lam
drums friends claim the shooting was
without provocation.
Quinn is a merchant and Is postmaster
at Burlington. Landrum has wife and
four small children. Both parties were
considered peaeeable men.

PEARL IN HIS THROAT.
Negro Coughs Up a Gem After
Twenty Years Suffering.

NcgrO COUghs ID a Gem After
Twenty Years Suffering.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Miles, Mich, Nov 6.-Twenty years ago
Abraham Johnson, a colored man, came to
Galesburg from Baltimore. At the time it
was thought he was suffering from con-
sumption, as he was afflicted with con-
slant hacking cough.
This morning he had an attack which
threatened strangu-ation and by a supreme
effort released something from his throat
which proved to be beautiful pear-shaped
pearl
The wonder ceased when johnson ex-
planned that during his residence on the
eastern shore of Maryland his diet was
mostly oysters. The gem found q lodg-
ment in his throat and retained it's posi-
ton until released.

SILVER LOSES CASTE
New York Democrats Would Drop
the Issue in Making Their Fight
for Greater New York Patronage.

NEW YORK, Aug 26.-Elliott DanfOrth.
chairman of the Democratic state commit
tees is quoted in an interview as saying
that the recent fall in the price of silver
and the rise in the price of wheat had
somewhat dampened the enthusiasm Of the
free silver men of this city and state.
''The sentiment in favor If an indorse-
ment of the Chicago platform by the
Democratic city convention, does not seem
to be strong it was few weeks
ago." he said. THE fall in silver and the
rise in wheat have apparently had some
effect. In fact there is a noticeable
change in the situation in this locality
anyhow. Whether the Democrats up the
state have been much influenced l do not
know, but l do know that they are not
disposed to push the free silver issue to the
front at the meeting Of the state commit
tee If the Democratic organizations of
Greater New York decide that it would be
wisest to confine the campaign to local and
state issues
country conventions in the interior of the
state will indorse the Chicago platform, but
the leaders up there tell me that they
recognize the great Importance Of Demo-
cratic success in Greater New York this
year and will not do anything to prevent
it. They willing, it appears, to let
state committee arrange the program for
the meeting of the committee.
Il made the trip through the state lately
and l found that many Of those who are
lOudeSt in their demand for an Endorsement
of the Chicago platform care more for
what might call Organism than for free
silver That is, they like Bryan and what
he represents generally and are not par
ticularly devoted to the free silver cause"

injunction, he is making for riot rather
than against it. AS to the right itself,
we think a layman might be excused il
he questions it. AS Debs says, this in
junction restrains him from walking in
any of the public highways leading to
the mines. We have not, as our readers
are aware, a high opinion Of Debs; but
we think that his view is correct in this
case A man has a right to ask another
to stop work; he has right to speak
in public, subject to the ordinary police
power of stopping disorderly meetings.
"It is the duty of the courts and ex-
ecutive officers to compel them to keep
the peace, no matter how just their
grievance or how great their anger, and
public opinion will uphold such compul-
sion even to the last extremity. But it
is not the business of any branch of
government to interfere with any citi-
zen in the peaceful exercise of his legal
right of free speech and moral suasion
to induce others to an action not unlaw-
full in itself"

Municipal Ownership.

City Engineer Ellis, of Kansas City,
sented, has taken up the question OF
municipal ownership of the electric light
plant. He takes the figures of that city's
expense for light and from them makes
it's own plant. According to the report
Kansas City, Kas., streets are lighted by
SOP street lamps of various kinds, and
the annual cost of this service is $25, 1863.
There are 1876 arc electric lights of 1000
candle power; 1O3 incandescent lights
OF rs candle power; 80 gas lamps Of Is
candle power; and 234 gasoline lamps
of IA candle power. The average price
of each arc light Is $133 per year. For
electric lighting alone the city pays an
nually $4,000.
From these figures the engineer draws
this conclusion: "That this is an enor-
nous sum to pay for the light received
needs no argument, but the city is tied
by contract to pay the now fabulous
prices, although at the time the fran
chise was granted the prices did not
seem so high. The only relief is NUM-
cipal ownership. With the plant in the
hands of the city almost enough money
could be realized from commercial light
ing to pay the operating expense of the
plant. This would save the city annual
ly nearly $25,OOO, which, in four years,
would pay for plant more than equal
to the citys needs. s.'-Advocate, Topeka,

1T WAS A SURPRISE.

Conformation Among the Free

The Nashville Convention Causes
Conformation Among the Free
Silver Crowd.
The Populist national conference at
Nashville, which was so confidently
looked to by our mossback friends as
the rock upon which the Populist par
ty would split, and from which would
date the total disruption of the party
and the return Of all Populists as prod
igals of the old folds, has been a conf
plete surprise to our said friends.
They are too mucn amaze1 and dis
appointed to have a word Of comment.
On the first day of the session, when
personal animosity brought two men,
bers together in clash, the nOssbGck
reporters present thought it was the
beginning OF the general row which
describe with all the embellishments
they could use TO set forth it's richness.

Il told you so,' on receipt of the conf
IDENTIFY expected news Of a general row.
But our poor mossback friends were
doomed to sore disappointment. The
little difficulty between Messrs. Nc
Dowell and Lindsey was only Of a per-
sonal nature, and was the merest incl
dent which is always liable to happen
when a large body of men meet. 1t
had no relation to the business in hand,
and was not taken notice Of by the
convention. There never was such a
large body assembled, representing
such large and widely separated con-
stituency, and charged with a question
of such gravity, which acted more har-
moniously than the great Nashville
convention.
Instead of splitting the party, it has
cemented it. It has done nothing to
Chairman Butler or those who opposed
the conference. It retains IN power
the old party officers. 1t keeps intact

all the existing party machinery; but
at the same time it so organized the
party that if treason be attempted at
the critical time; if 1t be attempted
again to fuse after the proof We have
had that fusion with the old parties is
only entered into by them to xii! the
Peoples party-such attempt will avail
nothing; the party will merely shake
off the traitors and march on without
them
We believe that Senator Butler and
those who have stood with him cannot
do otherwise than approve the work OF
the convention. If they are true Pop
ulists at heart they must do So There
is no kick against them, and their au-
thority will be respected. There Is
complete harmony and all Populists
can now address themselves to the
work Of spreading the truth and max
ing converts Of the disappointed and
deluded followers Of the old party han-
ners
But while no one was read out of the
party and the right hand of fellowship
extended to every one who professed
the Populist faith, machinery has been
set in motion which will frlstrate any
attempt to lead the Populist party into
the camp of it's enemies, should such an
attempt be made. Until the mex. ma
tional convention meets the new COM
committees in every section Of the
country, and should another fusion
deal be made, national convention
will at once be called and Populis- can
didates will be put in the field
With this check put ipon the fusion
proclivi1ies of Populism who see In
fusion good stepping stone into office,
it is not likely that fusion will be at
less they hold Populist principles in
higher regard than Office they had bet
ter go to the old parties at once. The
fusion idea will die for want of nour-
ishment to feed it. and when the time
comes for the lines 70 be forme1 for
the next great conflict, Populsts will
stand as one man, and the disappoint-
ed and humbugged voters of the .wo
old parties will flock to it as the only
party which can and will do for the
people what the old parties constantly
promise. but cannot do because tIey
are dominated by the power which is
opposed to the people and the best in
terests of the country.-Tribune.
