WOMEN TO GO ARMED.

The journal with many other South
ern newspapers, has long eontended
that the women of the south should
learn to use the pistol and gun and to
be permitted and urged to carry them
when travelling alone. It is true that
in some of the black, counties IN South
Alabama many women know how to
handle a pistol, and when travelling
alone carry them. But these are ex-
captions and not the rule. The safety
of southern women demands that they
should know how to use the pistol, and
it is to be hoped that the practice Of
the use of firearms Will soon become
more general Local gun clubs in the
various towns and cities should take
the matter up, and see to it that our
women are taught to use the weapon,
and to use it with safely and accuracy.
Virginia is about to take a step in the
right direction. A bill will soon be in
troduced in the legislature whereby the
women of that state will be placed
among those exempted from the oper
atoms Of the present statute in the same
manner as policeman, constable and
other officers; that Is, they will be al
lowed to carry weapons. The women,
in view OF the many criminal assaults
recently, are becoming expert pistol
shots IN Virginia, it is said Recently
"gun club" was formed in Roanoke,
and regular monthly meetings are held
for target practice. A young lady
school teacher at Suffolk, who has to
ride some distance in the country to at
tend her school, carries a pistol regu-
larry strapped to her side, and there
are evidences of disposition on the
part of the Virg mia women to carry

PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.

A very remarkable discovery has been
made within the present month. In
1886 congress passed an act, which was
much discussed by the press and the
people at the time and has been since,
providing for the succession to the
presidency in the event OF the death or
disability of both the president and
vice president. It put the secretary of
state next in line and after him one
member. of the cabinet after another
until all are named. Now, after six
teen years, it is ascertained that this
act contravenes the constitution, which
provides that after the vice president
the speaker of the house shall succeed
to the presidency The act of 1886 ig-
nores this officer. Such an oversight
on The part of the gentlemen who are
supposed to be students and custodians
OF the constitution is incomprehenslble

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.

According to the statement Of the
Tribuneof the 18th, John D Rockefeller
and his son have determined TO invest
large sums in the promotion of South
ern education, and Mr. Baldwin, the
present President of the Long Island
r. r. is to be the head OF the organiza-
ton formed to this end All these gen.
tiemen are intensely interested in the
general work of education, and no one
could be found more thoroughly equip
ped for the charge of large plan in
this direction than Mr. Baldwin.
With the cooperation Of the gentlemen
named, and especially with the assur-
ance Of the active supervision of Mr.
Baldwin, it would not, we are sure, be
difficult TO secure all the money needed
for the work.
The prosperity and the safety of the
nation depend on the highest attainable
Intelligence among all the people In
telligence cannot be raised to high
level without general schooling. The
general schooling of the South is very
defective. It is for the protection of
New York and Illinois and Pennsyl-
7ania as much as for that Of the South
that the defects should be removed as
far as practicable. Tt is not less the
duty than the interest of the rest of the
country to aid in this work. The South
is relatively poor 1t is so because only
a little more than a generation since 1t
was swept clean by the civil war and
suffered losses without precedent IN
modern history Those losses were in
ficted by the rest of the country in or
der to preserve the Union, and the eff
fort was successful. It was best and it
was necessary that the war should be
fought out, and the result was worth
the cost. But the cost fell heaviest on
the South, and now it is the duty of the
North to help the South in that work
which is the most essential to the pro.
gress of the whole country,-New York

afternoon. at which all concerned are
invited to be present. 1t is asserted
by those in charge of the movement
that public indignation at the rates
now charged by existing companies
here are so high that no difficulty will
be experienced in getting in the form
of small subscriptions to the stock or
the new concern all the money needed
for the enterprise.
The members of the committee pres
ent at the meeting were JOS Ornstine,
Frank Lux, F. r Coldewe, Frank Hart
and J. Hyde. A committee of three
was appointed to investigate several
propositions that have already been
made by firms that wish to sell to the
new company icehouses outside the
city or to supply the ice needed for
local consumption.
After a general discussion OF these
propositions the sentiment of those
present appeared to favor the purchase

stallation of plant for the manufac-
ture of artificial ice The mass meet

Our idea is to sell the stock in small

investors as possible will be financially
interested in the success of the com
pany. which will furnish ice strictly at
