NEGRO EDUCATION A FAILURE.-In
his report to be submitted to the legis.
lature next month Superintendent of
Public Instruction Southall take the
ground that the education of the negro
in the South has been failure. The
Superintendent says "tte negro does
not receive education sufficient under
the present system to enable him to
earn livelihood without manual labor.
Yet he soon thinks he knows enough to
live without working with his hands.
The result is he becomes criminal or
vagabond." This same view is taken
by Supt. Frissell, of the Hampton
School, in his last annual report. The
report will recommend that manual
training be introduced into the negro
schools in Virginia.

ter. European officers, working under
General Joubert, have changed the
burghers from body of farmers to a
disciplined military force. Great ekill
has been shown in converting the hills
at aud near Colenso into fortresses OF
immense strength. Each fortress and
the approaches TO it bristle with machine
guns, and it is said that mines have
probably been laid.
The Tugela river, on which Colenso
is situated, is rising on account of rains
This will give General Butler an ad-
vantage in dealing with the Beers on

they may not be able to recross readily.
General White reports from Lady

cut six weeks more. From present 10
dications the British will not be able to
send him relief within that time.

ON THE EVE OF BATTLE.
The Political Outlook From a Demo-
cratic Aud Republican View.

Tomorrow being election day, many
county politicians were in town com.
pairing notes and groups OF men, both
white and colored. prominent in politics,
could be seen standing on street corners.
on State House Hill, around the post Of
tee, hotel and Court House. The leaders
OF both sides are very confident ofcarry-
ing the county their way. A prominent
democrat said this'morning, he was sure
the county would 60 from three to four
hundred majority, and gave very PLAIN
reasons for it. On the other hand prom
lnent Republican said he never was so
sure OF anything in his life as he was of
the county going Republican. When
asked what he based his assurance upon,
he replied united party, and an honest
vote and honest election officials. He
said the Democrats (many Of them) had
already conceded the county to the Re-
publican by from 200 to 500 majority. On
the other hand. he said the Democratic
party was never more divided than at this
time. When asked how he thought the
State would 60, he replied: That's CO
nundrum, II will be close. but | believe
Lowndes will pull through. think the
Democrats are reckoning without their
host In Baltimore city. | don't think
they can take Hayes election as crit
erian for this. and think they will find
out SO on the morning after election"
If one were to Judge from all the signs OF
the times. they would say it would be
just the opposite. From present indica-
tions everything points to Col. Smiths
election beyond doubt. No one can
foresee now what the result may be. Be
it as it may the State will not 90 to the
bad.
FROM THE POLITICIANS OUTLOOK.
The political managers at their head
quarters in Baltimore have finished their
figuring upon the forecasts OF the cleo
ton tomorrow. Among the betting men
it is two to one that Colonel Smith will
be the next Governor. The latest esti-
mates upon the State and Baltimore city
pluralities made up at the headquarters
OF the Democratic and the Republican
State Committees are as follows:
Democratic - Baltimore city, 900;
State. including city, 1900.
Republican - Baltimore city, 6,ooo:
State. including city. 10. 600.
The Democrats claim that they will
carry 40 out of the 23 counties, oonced-
ing one Allegheny, the home OF Governor
Lowndes. and also OF Senator Yelling
ton; Charles county. the home of Con-
gresham Mudd, and Garrett county to
the Republicans.
The Republicans claim that they will
win in Is counties. including several on
the Eastern Shore. They are not so ex-
plicit. however. in their claims as the
Democrats.
Senator Wellington, who is generally
well informed. predicts that Governor
Lowndes will be showed under. The
prediction OF conservative men in both
parties is that the majority either way
will not be over 1000 or 1000.
