AGAIN THE SUBWAY.

Months ago The. Bulletin suggested
! that gates or locks in the Sycamore
street subway would serve every pur.
pose required of loop levee and
would be lot cheaper and much
more convenient 1t now appears
that some such plan Is contemplated
in the negotiations pending between
the city's committee, the drainage
district commissioners, the Traction
company and the Illinois Central
A good many interests have to be
considered and consulted in connec-
ton with this business, but let us
hope that at an early day some annie.
able and satisfactory settlement will
be reached. With the great concrete
arch erected by the railroad com.
pany across Sycamore street, the sub
way is now imperatively required
The situation was bad enough before
the erection of the arch, but now the
danger and inconvenience of the
grade crossing over the levee is
greatly increased. The subway was
really part Of the plan under which
the arch was built. If the present
will result in giving us
the subway on fair terms, a tired-of- |
waiting public will be deeply apprecl- |
alive

gist 'Magdalen, in England. is pro-

'Maudiin' If you have ever been to
Oxford, you will have heard high
praises there of 'Maudlin' College:
but though they say 'Maudlin,' they
write Magdalen. Magdalen in fact,
is the college name Magdalen, pro-

"Magdalen, Mary Magdalen. was a
young woman of dissipated life. The

was gradually born the word maud

DIVISION OF SCHOOL FUNDS.

At the Democratic convention held
in Raleigh, N. c., a few weeks ago. a
| delegate from one of the eastern
| counties had the temerity to intro
duce resolution favoring a division
OF the school fund according to he
amount of school taxes paid by the
two races. The resolution had no sup.
port and encountered opposition so
fleree as to amount to a positive ex.
preston of indignation. This action
of the convention expressed the prac.
tically unanimous sentiment of the
southern people. SO far as we know
no voice has ever been raised in
southern legislative assembly favor.
Ing such proposition as a general
principle of action. Since the slaves
we're freed the white people OF the
south have shared their school fund
with the colored race-a fund meager
enough and totally inadequate TO stem
the tide OF ignorance. The south has
claimed no particular credit for this
course. because the plainest dictates
OF self-interest and self.protection
would demand IT, The negro race
contributes almost nothing TO the
school fund. and to divide il along
the color line would deprive Of all IN.
ition those who need it most. The
southern states deserve credit for
the fact that they have done a plain
duty willingly and even gladly. II
would indeed be a melancholy specta.
Gle If public sentiment on such
question should ever change ani il is
much to be regretted that a course
different from that already pursued
should appeal to any one as feasible
or desirable.
1t has been decided that municipal
have no power, even un.
der legislative sanction, to sever the
school fund along race lines in pro |
portion to the amount respectively 1
contributed. Such a scheme contra.
venes the Fourteenth Amendment. in.
as II denies TO the colored
people the equal protection of the .
law. Besides. as was there held. the .
race classification as basis OF dis.
tribution is arbitrary and unreason.
able.
In Cairo the burden Of furnishing
the great bulk Of the funds for the
maintenance OF the colored schools
falls upon the white people. but Il IS
one OF the responsibilities which the
community must OF necessity shoul
der. Most ofthe woes that come 10
the coIored people are the result of
ignorance. Education will be for
them. as it has been for all others

The newspapers Of New York and

club" of the subway flourishes and
auenches both the thirst and the Gu
riosity of thousands of the famished
and the foolish. Men and women come
from every quarter of New York to
see the dedicated saloon and to
drink at the fountain which has been
opened with prayer. Some pass by
the bar of intoxicants with bated
breath and take a seat at the soft
drinks counter. Others pass by the
latter with a sneer and drink some
thing stronger, to the health of Bish
ID Potter. Some sigh for the spirit of
