THE PARKER SENTIMENT.

The Republican papers are having a
great deal TO say about the visit of
Judge Parker to Georgia. Most of them
see in it movement to make him the
Democratic candidate for President,
and they apparently don't like that
prospect. They evidently think he
would make a strong candidate. For
instance, the Philadelphia Inquirer
says: There is one thing about the
Parker sentiment that is helpful to his
candidacy. He has not been mixed up
with factions. He has been doing his
work as judge while the silyerites
and anti-silveTites have been quarrel
ing, and if the Democrats are to make
any kind of a showing next year they
must get together"
The Inference from this is that Judge
Parker would not antagonize either
faction of the Democrats to any appre-
ciable extent. He would be acceptable
to the reorganizers, and 1t is probable
that there wouldn't be much Opposi-
ton to him among the Bryanites. Mr..
Bryan was quoted on one occasion as
saying tndI DeIOfe ne gave al opliluAl
as to the availability of Judge Parker
as a candidate he would like to be in
formed as to the extent of Senator
Hills influence with him.
That indicated that he had little If
any objection to Judge Parker, pro-
vided it could be shown that if nomi-
mated and elected he would not be un-
der the influence of Senator Hill.
The Democrats are in as much doubt
as to whom they will nominate for
President as they were year ago.
But the indications are multiplying
that they will select man that will
to a great extent give satisfaction to
both factiOns-that will bring the two
wings of the party together. There is
no particular reason for saying that
the nominee will be Judge Parker, but
if not him it will be some one who,
like him. has not seriously anita gonized
either wing of the party.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier-Journal
Dem.) says: THE deficiency in the
Postofficc Department for the past ifs
cal year is no great matter, but the
apology that the postal system is not
intended to be money making device
hardly goes to the root of the trouble.
Nobody would criticise the deficit if it
appeared to he necessary. But recent
developments tend to demonstrate that
the postal service has lately been
money wasting device, and that is pre-
cisely what it ought not to have been,
and should not continue to be-"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: Secretary Moody made some
fervid and eminently just remarks on
the Fourth of July on the wickedness
of treating public Office as a private
snap, and urged that when this ulcer
of corruption be discovered ii be relent-
Iessly cut out with knife. That is a
wholesome doctrine, but the spreading
system of graft has not yet been traced
TO the Navy Department, and it is east
er for Mr.. Moody to denounce corrup-
ton than it would be for some of his
colleagues. There is not much pat
ronage in the Navy Department, and
consequently little field for the talents
OF ftealuS ana MdCHtnS anu DedNeTSeS.
Even honest men are not above using
patronage for themselves and their
friends, and from patronage to plumber
is an easy STEP"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: Messing around among
army contracts is perilous business, no
doubt, for who can foresee the lay of
the sacred toes that may be stepped
upon? II now is said in Washington
that the Vermont marble works of
Proctor. VT, for several years has had
contracts for supplying gravestones to
the United States Army. A chief own
field Proctor. and the question arises
whether that statesman has been
amenahle to the law forbidding a con-
gresham from having a financial in
terest in government contracts. In
this case. most timely discovery is
made, to-wit. that a certain section of
the Revised Statues, expressly exempts
members of Congress holding shares
in incorporated companies from the on
Grafton of the law prohibiting them
from having an interest in government
contracts. and it is believed that the
Vermont Marble Works Company is an
Incorporated concern If such a stat
ute exists. II is most convenient, All
a congressman has to do. if he manu-
features goods OF any sort for the gov
eminent is to get Incorporated and
own 500 shares OF the stock"

THE 1ELL SCHOOL BILL.

The bill by Mr.. Bell of Milton, just
passed by the House, making it obli-
gatory upon county school boards to
admit to schools in their counties chill
dren living in adjoining counties but
most conveniently near to such schools,
seems to be an effort to make the
larger or more populous counties
shoulder still more of the school bur-
den of the state. There are now about
a dozen counties in Georgia that prac-
tically pay the expenses of the state
government. A large majority of the
counties draw out of the treasury for
school purposes more than they pay
into it for such purposes, the overplus
coming from the dozen counties refer
red to. On the face of it, the Bell bill
looks like a reciprocity arrangement,
but It is nothing of the sort. The more
populous counties tax themselves
heavily for school purposes and keep
their schools open nine months of the
year. The other counties do not tax
themselves at all, and keep their
schools open only three or four months
of the year. or as long as the money
they get from the state treasury will
pay the expenses. Is there anything
like reciprocity in a swap-over ar
rangement between such counties? By
way Of illustration. child from an
other county coming into Chatham
would get nine months schooling in a
highclass school. while a Chatham child
going into another county would get
three or four months schooling in an
Indifferent sort of school. 1t is stated
that a hard fight win be made on the
bill in the Senate. It ought to be kill
ed. The way to get good schools is NOT
to lean on ones neighbors, but to make
an effort to pay for them out of ones
own pocket.

wards a better civilization. and it is
probable that there would be an in
crease of race conflicts. Negro serv-
| ants would be less valuable to their
employers than they are now, because
being unable 10 read and write they
would be fitted for only the common
est kind of labor They could not be
depended upon for service where a GER
tain amount of intelligence was re-
quired.
But their schooling should be differ
ent from that which they are now re-
ceiving. Besides being taught 10 read
and write and instructed 10 some ex-
tent in arithmetic they should be pre-
pared to as great an extent as posi-
BILE for the duties pertaining to their
station. In the cities they should be
trained in the duties of domestic
servants-to do all the things that are
required Of house servants. Those of
the boys who aspire to something bet
ter than the position occupied by I'M
skilled labor should be given instruc-
ton in the trades-should be taught to
be bricklayers, plasterers, carpenters,
etc. In the country industrial training
should be given to those who want 1t.
but the great majority should have
impressed upon them the need of max
ing themselves acquainted with the
requirements of a farm hand. They
should have impressed upon them that
their chance of happiness and pros
perity is in the direction of steady and
intelligent work.
OF course it would require a long
time to put into effect a programme
like this. but if the matter were taken
hold of properly in the course of a
few years the negroes would be receiv-
ing instruction that would be of far
more benefit TO them than that which
they are now receiving and their serv-
ice to their employers would be Of
much greater value.

Still Hungry.

The district around a village in
Staffordshire is inhabited by a sturdy
race of GOLFERS and iron workers, says
Tit Bits. Some years ago a wager
was made concerning one of these
worthless, whose eating feats were the
admiration of his acquaintance, that
he would at a sitting eat a roast goose,
together with a reasonable quantity of
vegetables, and at the same time drink
a gallon of beer.
The event was decided one Saturday
evening at a well-known hosiery, the
bird, vegetables and ale being duly
consumed. When being escorted home

cANNoN.s crRRENcY VIEWS.


1t is probable that Representative
Cannon expressed the sentiment of a
majority of the Republican members of
Congress on the currency question
when he said he saw no reason for ad-
ditional currency legislation. But he
is very much put out by the statements
in some of the Northern papers that
he said that he would block currency
legislation next winter. 1t is practi-
Cally settled that he will be Speaker,
but he wants it understood that the
Speaker does not control legislation.
/ 1t is true of course that the Speaker
/ doesn't control legislation, but he can
| do a great deal towards controlling it.
For instance. he can appoint a COM
mittee on Currency and Banking that
would not push currency legislation.
Put it is not probable that Mr..
Cannon VIII do anything of that kind.
! While he may think the country has
ali the currency it needs he doesn't
believe it to be his duty TO use his po-
sition--assuming that he will be elect
ed Speaker-to prevent the majority of
Congress from doing what they think
ought to be done.
Mr.. Cannon isn't disturbed about the
effect the misstatement of his position
will have upon congressman. He knows
that they will not believe that he stated
that he would use his position to pre-
vent currency legislation, but he is
afraid the people generally who do not
know the actual situation will be mis-
led by the statement, and will think
that he is playing the part of dictator
of Congress even before getting into
the Speakers chair.
AS to the need for more currency,
Mr.. Cannon says that in the Middle
West the farmers can borrow money
readily at Az to 5 per cent, and that
he thought money was quite plentiful
when farm mortgages commanded no
higher rate of interest than that.
The monetary situation will have to
become much more accute than ii is
now, or has been recently, before Con-
gress will undertake TO pass a currency
measure. AS a matter of fact Wall
streets needs are no longer regarded
as the needs of the country. There
was a time when Wall street senti-
ment was all powerful with Congress.
Now it is hardly noticed. The senti-
ment of the Middle West on any SUBJ
ject of Importance, has more weight
with Congress than has that of, Wall
street. And as it is the sentiment of
that section that additional currency
isn't needed it is probable that there
will be no legislation Of that kind at
the approaching session of Congress.

AN IMPORTANT SIDE OF EDUCATION

On July 4, the students attending the
summer school at the University of
Tennessee at Knoxville adopted a dec
laration of principles, two of the dec
larations being as follows: 1--WE be-
lieve and declare that the moral and
spiritual side of education is of prime
Importance. Any education of youth
which forgets this is radically wrong,
fatally and fundamentally defective
A civilization based not on the moral
and spiritual is civilization lacking
the chief elements of permanency. As
an inevitable corollary we hold that
every teacher should not only know
something thoroughly and how to teach
it, but ought, in his Utmost soul, to be
something worthy Character first,
knowledge second, methods third"
AS these students are teachers from
nearly all parts of the South there is
no doubt they expressed pretty fully
Southern sentiment in regard to the
necessity for moral and spiritual in
struction in the common schools. They
believe and the South believes that
teachers should be men and women of
the highest moral worth. having a
strongly marked spiritual nature and
capable of making the youth entrusted
to their care men and women of the
highest character.
Not as much attention is given to
character building in the common
schools as there should be. One rea-
son of this is probably that many of
the teachers are not capable of Civ
ing the kind of instruction that is
needed. The summer schools which
have been established at Knoxville and
at Athens will assist in curing that
defect. There was never in the history
of the country a time when there was
greater need for moral and spiritual
instruction in the common schools. The
craze for wealth is so great that men
and women are in danger of forget
ting that there is much in life that is
far more desirable than riches-things
which riches cannot buy-and in their
efforts to get wealth they sacrifice
morals and virtually kill their spiritual
natures. The students at the Knox
vile summer school take high ground.
Their influence for good is bound to
be great and far-reaching.
