This question arises. and now we

Certainly every parent wants his child

TIE ErTrRE OF YIRGINIA.

Virginia has been making rapid
progress in all lines ever since the war
between the States. The growing
cities, increasing commerce, large fac
tories, and educational system, indicate
that Virginia is in a more prosperous
state than ever before in its history.
Norfolk and Newport News are fast
becoming the commercial rivals Of
Northern cities One Of the largest
ship yards Of the United States is at
Newport News. Here great war ships
for the United States and other nations
are built.
The waters Of Virginia are the most
noted in America for oysters. The
Chesapeake Bay furnishes four times
as many oysters as all Tue other places
Of our coast Many fish are also ship
ped from Virginia TO Northern cities.
The pipes Of the Lynchburg Iron
Works are sent TO every civilized country
of the world. The trains Of Russia are
drawn by Virginia locomotives.
Virginia also has many fine schools
aud colleges, where her young men
and women are being trained for every
sphere Of life.
No other State in the Union has pro-
duced more such men as Washington.
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Patrick
Henry, and George Mason; and there
Is every reason 20 believe that the
University and colleges are sending out
such men now. Man makes the State
what It Is; then how can Virginia.
with its noble men, have other than
bright aud prosperous future?

month. They use the profession
merely as a stepping-stone to some.
thing else Instead Of following 1t be-
cause they love the work aud because
they wish to build up the schools Of the
State.
We can we'll afford 10 boast OF our
university aud colleges. The Western
schools. however. are far ahead Of US In
public schools. The CONSOLIDATION Of
rural districts" has proved a great sue
cess in the West. In several counties
OF our state this has been tried on a
small scale. The people are rather
slow to take hold Of this system, but
our superintendents are wide-awake,
energetic men, and we feel sure that in
time this system will do much for the
advancement OF education.
BY consolidating the small free
schools, we are enabled to have better
buildings, better apparatus, longer
terms and better teachers. Almost all
counties that have tried the system
report less expense, improved health
for the pupils and an increased atten-
dance.
Teachers who have had Normal
training are in demand. In fact, some
schools will have no other. How
necessary then that Virginia thorough
ly equip her State Normal School.
In Governor Montague we have an
educational governor" es he is called
With his kindly interest on the side Of |
public education, we feel sure that
Virginia will soon rank first among
our Southern States in the education
Of all her people

An Error That Should Not be Made in
the Teaching Of History.

History, one Of the most important
branches Of study in our schools, has
been and is now, sadly neglected.
Go into any school that you may
name and the pupils are less proficient
in this than IN any other study. But
there is one question especially which
is seldom answered correctly, and it is
to this that attention is called.
The question is: What was the true
cause Of the war between the States
You may think it is simple, but it is
so deep that few persons have grasped
its true answer. Nine persons out of
ten would answer slavery, and it is
this answer that is being taught i'm
almost every school. 1t is true slavery
was an occasion Of the war, but the
true cause was State Sovereignty. If
every teacher were correctly informed
upon this historical point, and would
instruct her pupils accordingly, it
would do much to correct this erro-
neous idea among our people.
The question may be asked why the
error has been taught for so many
years and has not been corrected. For
the simple reason that the teachers
have not investigated the historical
facts thoroughly.

might overlook as an uuimportant one
though it may be Of great interest to
readers. Our idea is that journalism is
a profession for women and should be
recognized as such by all women. 1t
is our belief that if our Southern wo-

more, our Southern literature would be
far better than it now is. Who will

THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO BREAK
THE VIRGINIA CONSTITUTION.


In the changing of old things and
the introduction of new there aIe a.-
ways those vino are dissatisfied and
think they should ha,e been done ac-
cording 10 some other notion or meth
Oi-ther own, of course.
So it has been with our new Consti-
tuition since it has been adopted {
has verify been a bone Of contention, %
especially with Mr.. John :. Wise and
his Republican friends.
As We know, about month or six
weeks ago, Mr.. Wise, originally from
Virginia but now from New York, and
also a negro lawyer, Hayes, tried very
hard to stir up public sentiment against
our Constitution by declaring il uucou-
stitutional Ia fact they are still
working against it Their argument
was that the four suffrage restrictions
in Section 10 of Article II cut out the
negro and are contrary 10 the Fiji
tenth Amendment, which reads a.
follows: "rhe right of ctiztns OF the
United States to vote shall not be de-
MED OF abridged hy the United States
or by any Sla'e ON account of race, co.
or or previous condition Of servituie.
But We know that this is not SO, fer
does it not cut out the white, too?
Chief Justice Fuller was called TO
Richmond to see about this matter
but he pronounced the restrictions en-
tirely constitutional.
Then again, do you as citizens Of .
Virginia, think it right to have the
very ignorant, those who know nothing
Of the laws ofthe State aud Union, to
vote for our officers? Why, under the
old Constitution, three-fOurths Of the
negroes when they left the polls could
not tell you for whom they had voted !
Negroes were not the only ones either,
for some whites were found just as ig-
norant. But we say. if he can't fulfill
the registration requirements in the
new Constitution, let him be cut out
whether he is black or white.
Then here comes up the temperance
question. Its chiefly the negroes who
are UNFOLDING the saloons in their evil
and disastrous work, and if the negro
vote is cut down, perhaps it will not be
long before these dens of misery will
be overcome and abolished from the
State.
But we can see through the motives
Of these Northerners who are trying to
break Virginias Constitution. They
have polite reason in wishing to give !
the negro more power. Since the Re
publican vote almost wholly controls \
the negro, they think a restriction to I
ais suffrage will seriously weaken their !,
party So we suppose Mr.. Wise and -
ais followers think the easiest way to =
overcome this difficulty is to break Vir- a.
'inia's Constitution, but they will find :
hat Virginians never submit.

Due Notice is Served.

Due notice is hereby served on the
people generally that DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve is the only s.lve on the
market that is made from the pure
unadulterated witch hazel. DeNitt's
Witch Hazel Salve has cured thousands
of cases Of piles that would not yield to
any other treatment, and this fact has
brought out many worthless counter
feits. Those persons who get the
genuine DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salye
are never disappointed, because it
cures.
