COMMERCE AND GENTILITY.
Rur Cf on Homemade Candy Made Sister Jane Nervous and Stopped
 It's Sale.

One of the most interesting pieces of char acter drawing in Hawthorne work Is the proud old New England woman, Hepzl- bah, in tle "House of Seven Gables. /. Forced to keep shop, she used to wish that customers would not come to witness the fall of her pride and her fortunes. The Washington Post tells similar story, the scene of which is laid in Pennsylvania vil- lage.
 Two old spinsters keep little shop in which they sell pins 6. calico and other small wares" Last su. ger Washington woman saw a jar of homemade candy in their window, and bought some of it. It was so good that she bought more of it, and told all the summer visitors about it. There was run" on homemade candy, and the jar had to be reflled again and again.
 One day the Washington woman called for some more of the candy, and was told that the sisters were out of it. A day later she called again, and the elder sister, with some embarrassment, said that they were still out, and recommended that she try the city made candy at the drug store. This was not what the Washington woman want ed, so after two days she paid third visit to the shop. Still the candy jar was empty.
 Aren't you ever going to have any more of it?" she asked.
 The elder sister hesitated in obvious dis tress.
 q don't think we are," she said, at length. "You see, so many people got to running in here asking for that candy, and it made so much confusion, that Sister Jane got nervous about it. So we decided not to sell any more candy. We aren't going to keep it after this.

A NATIONAL IDEAL.
Education Must Be Adapted to Our National Ideal and Na-
 tiOnaI Needs.

It was Alfred Fouilee who said in his book on education that every sys- tenn of education must be national, i. e., adapted to the specific national needs of the people by whom it is adopted. Accepting this dictum we shall be led to the conclusion that southern education, too, must be adapted to our national needs, and must promote the highest objects for which our country exists. It is not enough that it shall foster economic welfare, that it shall in- crease the wealth of the south, and thus necessarily of the whole coun- try, it is not enough that southern education shall wipe out the blot of illiteracy All these things are desir- able, all these aims must be borne in view, but in addition to and beyond them the highest standard must be applied, the highest American ideal, the stamp of which on any education- al system in this country can alone make it truly national, and hence truly satisfactory? The highest ideal for which we as a people exist, it seems to me, Is to work out the as yet unsolved problem of a true de- mocracy-that the best life shall be possible for every citizen, and that every one shall do the work for which he is best fitted.-Felix Adler.

LOCAL TAX BY DISTRICTS.
Nothing Should Stand in the Way of Raising Sufficient Money for
 School Purposes.

It behooves us to make the most of our resources and to increase them wherever the people of par ticular locality are willing to add 10 the school fund. It often happens that while a county is unable to sup plement the school fund by taxation, those living in a particular militia district are willing to add to the state fund so as to lengthen the school term, and they should be permitted to do so.
 The present law authorizes the school trustees to purchase necessary buildings, but the amount of the school fund has been inadequate to enable those in the country districts to take advantage of the act. And where the local community is willing to raise the necessary funds, there is no provision of law by which mili- tia district or school district is au- thorized to tax itself for such pur- poses. Ordinarily, the unit in our state government is the country, and the general law now in force only contemplates city or county taxation, but authority ought to be given to militia district to collect local tax for a school and school-house pur- poses, wherever the taxpayers so de- sire, and I therefore recommend leg slation-including constitutional amendment, if that be necessary providing that upon the request of two-thirds of the tax payers in any militia district or school district, a reasonable tax may be imposed upon the property therein, the proceeds of which shall be applied by the school trustees to educational purposes, or to the purchase of land and the cree tion of school buildings in that par ticular district.-Gov. Terrelfs Mes sage to the Georgia Legislature.

SOUTHERN EDUCATION !
CHILD LABOR IN THE SOUTH,
It Is Directly AntaGoH:siic tu the Right of Every Child to Re-
 coive an Education.

Our people know that, whether the number of children in the mills be now large or small, the rapid exten- sion of the manufacturing industry will soon make it large, and that if it be or shall become large the conse- quences will be most serious to the future of the state. They know that working II hours a day in warm and moist room, it's air filled with fly ing lint, is necessarily injurious to any person of ordinary physique, and must be especially so to children of tender years. They know that while general exercise under favorable con ditions is good for the body, it is not good for the body, especially of a lit tie child, to be kept standing for such long and weary hours in a posture tending to contract instead of eX- pand the chest, and not admitting of motions that might develop it syste- matically. They know that if chil- dren work year in and year out for II hours a day in a mill they can not attend school, and that after such long and irksome labor they can not be expected to study at home; so that this employment is directly antago- nistic to that education for which the state provides, and which is the right of every child and the defense of the future interests of the common wealth. 1t is to the interest of the south that she shall rear up a race of white people in mind and body, race whose minds will be i1lumiaed by ed- ucation and who shall be capable of maintaining the sturdy virtues of the past. To these ends our people will devote themselves, and they will not be swerved from their purpose by any other consideration than their own interest and honor.-The State, Co lumbia, s. c.

PopuIist Reunion

A report that if the democrats
nominated a Clevelandite the popul-
lists of the west would vote for Roose-
welt has been published by the Asso-
ciated press. AS there has been
neither convention nor referendum
vote to ascertain populist sentiment the
report referred to is without founda
ton. Ex-senator Marion Butler, of
North Carolina, chairman of the
Bryan populists, replying to the re-
port, stated to press agent that the
populists would have their own can
didates for president, that they would
be compelled to do this because it was
plain the democrats intended to nom'-
nate a man of Cleveland's way of
thinking. Of course Mr.. Butler ex-
pressed his opinion only as he has no
authority to speak for the party. But
we believe his opinion is well found
ed. If populists were compelled to
choose between Roosevelt and Bryan
they would probably divide up about
equally and il they had no one to vote
for but Roosevelt or Cleveland

Justice, Grover Cleveland prevented
that by sending his regulars with
loaded guns and plenty of riot cart
ridges to Chicago.
But it pays to defend the sacre-
sacro money bag. About 20 years agI

a multi-millionaire and receives 4
pension of $4,000 for life; but Gov
ernor Altgeld died a poor man.
That there is better way to set

article of law adopted in 1887 by
direct referendum vote of the people
of the Canton-Zurich, Switzerland:
"Art. 35. The regierungsrath Estate

such corporations, which are degen-

Besides, the kantonsrath {legisla.
ture) can abolish such corporations
which pursue illicit, immoral aims,

Now, do you not think that corpora

such necessities out of spite from the
people, so that thousands have to die
from want of those necessities, as was
done last winter by our coal barons.

Every death which, in this country

democrat, a majority of them might
vote for Roosevelt. AS far as the
writer is concerned he would take to
the woods" as the two old parties are
in fact but one party ruled by the
same men and controlled completely
by the money power. But the discus
sion of what the populists would do if
compelled to choose between old par
ty candidates is out of order. The
question that is up before the popul-
lists is, how can the believers in pop
ulism be united in fight against the
demo-republican party? The first
thing to do is to reunite the peoples
party, which split on the question OF
the second nomination of Bryan. The
next step would be to gather into one
organization the millions who believe
in populism, more than two-thirds OF
whom have never yet voted the peo-
pies party ticket. This can best b.
done, we believe, by holding the peo-
pies party banner up and every pop
ulist rallying to it, thus encouraging
others to join.-Missouri World.
The report arose over Richard L.
Metcalfe's editorial in the Omaha
World-Herald, Sunday, May II, and
his open letter the next day to Nor
man E. Mack of the Buffalo Times,
and had nothing to do with the pop
ulist organization and did not pre-
tend to speak for populists.
Mr.. Metcalfe did not say that Bry-
an democrats would vote for Roose-
velt-he simply suggested in his edi
torial that the plutocrats are evident
ly laying their plans to defeat the
president.
Populists will have no need to
choose between Roosevelt and n
Cleveland democrat-they will have a
candidate of. their own. But it is idle
to deny the fact that if the democratic
party remains true to it's last two
platforms and makes reasonable prog
ress along the lines of money and
transportation, that the peoples party
will have small following in many
states.
Nevertheless, it is the duty of pop
ulists to get their organization ready
for the fray. If Cleveland democrat
is nominated next year, the peoples
party can be the second one in the
race, and may throw the election in
to the house of representatives.
Why have Butler and Parker
dropped clear out of the arena? One
would never suppose that either of
them ever claimed to be the head of
a national committee.
