Editor and Manager. tolloWJDM tho paper The Secretary of the Interior, in his I annual report, cails attention to a fact that j is not generally known with regard to the 1 attendance at the public schools in the Nortli and South. He says: “The pro- ! gressive decrease in the number of public I school pupils as compared with the pop- I ula.tion in the Northern States, which has ! already been referred to in the report of this otiiee, is still going on. In point of ee a beautiful oil copy of the famous f a ,.[ there has been during the past year an absolute decrease in the number of pu pils enrolled in six of the Northern States, and in one other, New York, there lias been an increase of only .744 pupils, against an increase of school population of over 30,00(1." The percentage ot popu lation enrolled as public school pupils in 1870 in the North Atlantic division was 321, in 1880 was 20.2 and in 1888 was 13.3. j The percentage in the South Atlantic division in 1870 was 6.3, in 1880 was lb.4 and in 1889 was 18.7. The explanation j given of this apparent retrograde move- | ment in the Xoitln-rn States is the increase | in private and parochial schools and the | tendency to refrain from sending children to school at as early an age as heretofore, J whereby the number of very young I pupils has diminished. In Massachusetts^, for instance, the nnmber of pupils under live years of age lias decreased during each of the last ten years. There is another cause tor the decline in public school attendance at the North, to which the Secretary does not allude, but which has unquestion ably exercised a strong influence iu bringing about the result noticed. In nearly all of the large cities and thickly populated Northern communities tin- public schools Lave had their efficiency greatly impaired by having fallen mule] the control of the poili ieiaiis. Eoueaiion and politics do not go t. g the), ami wher ever the political machine has been able to annex or absorb the school system it has been to the immediate and obvious (leiriirunt of the lat er. In the South, where bosses and machines are compara tively unknown, the public schools have not yet been contaminated, and are doing their work so well as to make them popu lar and attractive. In Georgia especially every effort lias been exerted, and with success, to keep our public school system tree from political influences, and any attempt in other directions will be met with strenuous opposition, A NEW APPORTIONMENT. There is a gratifying awakening inter est in Georgia on the question of our pub lic school system and tlie necessity of en- ! iareirnr its facilities and increasing its j THE DEVOURING FLAMES. OF A PITTS- SCENE3 AT THE BURNING BURG FLAT. Pittsburg, Pa., December4.—Between 12:30 and 1 o'clock this morning, tire broke out from some unknown cause in y. 1 note was sounded in the i the flat owned by Dr. John Dickson, on [islr.ture, and the initial step taken j the corner of Ninth and Pennsylvania right direction.

Governor Northen, too, is known j to be a staunch friend of the I common schools, and it is stated that he I contemplates sending in a special message urging such legislation as will greatly im- I prove the system. It would be a wise step on the part of 1lie Governor to take su'-h aclion. The legislature cannot pos sibly engage in a better work than the im- avenue. It was nearly 3 o'clock this morn ing before the firemen succeeded iu sub duing the fire. It was several hours more before they gave up the search for bodies. It is pretty certain that Mr. arid Mrs. Ir win, the janitor and his wife, were tiie only victims. When the lire broke out there were forty occupants sleeping in the flat, bn. they j were mostly men and all have i><:< u j accounted for. It was a terriole night for j a tire.

Washington, Dec. 4.—Indications for Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi: warmer, fair, southerly winds. Somebody has coined the word “motor- neer,’’ to designate the person who man ages the motor on an electric car. London dispatches speak of frost and snow on the shores of the Mediterranean, which has not occurred during the last twenty years. “Every newspaper man,” says an ex change, “has at some time in his business experience met the man who ‘now takes more papers than he can read.’ ” Yes, he is occasionally seen in Columbus. The Boston Herald naively remarks that “the first thought that occurs after read ing the President’s message is that, its au thor has not yet heard of the result of the elections of the 4th ultimo.” A Republican editor says that the Presi' dent's message is valuable in an “extraor dinary degree for the new and pertinent information it contains." This is enough to make a horse laugh. There are nearly .70,000 colored people in New York City. ISome of them have built up fortunes in real estate speculation. Oue of them accumulated an estate worth $100,000 in the catering business. A num ber are worth $200,000 each. Several measures are pending in Con gress providing for a new apportionment of Congressional representation on the basis of Porter’s census. The President referred to it in his message us a duty devolving upon the present Congress, and the Re publican leaders look upou it as a party necessity, and like all of their party neces sities it is based on fraud. '1 hat Porter’s census is grossly defective few people in this whole country will deny. Cumulative evi dence of it may be gathered in every State in the Union. In some Democratic strongholds the discrepancy is so glaring and palpable as to create the suspicion that the work was fiaudulent and corrupt, aiui the action of the authorities in refusing to correct the wrong makes tin m a party to it. There should be no new apportion ment on the basis of this census. It would fasten a false representation upon the country for the next ten years and it should be resisted to the last. The Demo crats in the present Congress should ex haust every resource in the defeat of the pending bills, and we believe they will. nor can they render the State a greater public service than in providing adequately for the education of the children of Geor gia. it will require money, and a great deal of it, but Georgia is able to spend. ■~>he cannot spend it to better profit than on her own children, and we are satisfied the people will gladly bear the burden, whatever it may be. Tht lowing sage: ■Mr. forgott. St. Louis Republic makes the fol- eomment on ilie President's nies- Harrison has learned no hing and i no,h.ng. lb* insists on high taxation and excessive expenditures for subsidies and bonuses u his second mes- -age, as in his first. He indorses the McKinley bill and protests against making any change in it. He indorses the W'indom Bullion Purchase scheme of silver demone tization and arrays himself against the free coi age of silver. His message is mostly devoted to dreary common-place- ness, and is. in this respect, below the .ow level of Lis fir,-.t. Only once does he rise above the eompleieiv insipid. When ne reiurus to the charge on the Force bill, tiis malice against the people of the South makes him almost impressive. He assumes that ail their objection to his Returning Board system of controlling them is based on a fixed and general purpose on their part, to commit crimes of fraud and vio lence, and on the basis of this assumption he shows vliat, for him, is a remarkable degree of ingenuity in twitting them with folly imputed to them by himself, or arraigning them for crimes which he assumes they intend to commit.” There seems to be a wide-spread oppe* sitiou to the “Twitty bill.” The opinion is that the law would result in harm, and the worst sufferer by it would be the farmer. The Georgia Senate can be relied ou to kill it. Rev. (.'. (’. Williams, I). 1)., of Augusta, is spoken of in connection with the bish opric of the Episcopal diocese of Georgia. Rev. I)r. Williams is about fifty-five years of age, and is regarded as one of the ablest divines in the Episcopal church of this State. It was left to a farmer's legislature to appropriate money to improve the new capitol grounds. The last legislature, composed largely of lawyers aud politicians, during a session of 200 days, didn't have time to look after the State's property. Porter and Noble still insist that the census is “reliable," aud yet nearly one- half of the census enumerators all over the country have not had their accounts settled because their work was i.ol satis factorily done. A Buffalo physician who has examined under a microscope the straps to which the stand-up passengers of the street cars of that city hold ou says that they are fairly reeking with bacteria of the most dangerous kind. The physician with a microscope in search of baetili, fever germs, microbes, bicteria and so ou is al ways liable to excite an unnecessary alarm. Says the Chicago Herald: Placards are displayed in all the New York cigar stores announcing an increase in the price of cigars on account of the McKinley bill. "Fifteen straight” instead of the popular “two-for-a-quarter" will stir up the men quite as thoroughly as the high-priced dry goods stir up the women. As an “educa tor” the McKinley bill beats the Cleveland message. The New York World has this spicy par agraph: In her able remarks to Parlia ment the Queen admitted the grave possi bilities of famine in Ireland on account of the failure of the potato crop, which shows quite plainly that Her Majesty does not get her news about Ireland from Mr. Bal- The Enquirer-Sun has received a cony of Williams’ Manual of Investments for tiie year 1890, containing important facts and figures regarding Southern Investment Securities. This manual has been com piled by John T. Williams A Co., bank ers, of Richmond, Ya., to whom we are indebted for a copy, and it is one of the most valuable and complete works of the kind we have seen. This manual is pre sented to the clients and correspondents ot the firm without charge, but they have set aside a limited number of copies for the benefit of tiiose who have no business relations with their house and expect to have none, which may be obtained for $2 by addressing John T. Williams A Son, Richmond. Ya. A special feature of the manual is its railroad reports, which are comprehensive in this edition, and which give railroad earnings and other informa tion down to March, April and May, 1890. as well as detailed statements of opera tions of the various companies for last fiscal year, and their general, physical and financial condition. This information is furnished to tiie public some months in advance of its publication by other leading railio.td authorities. The Philadelphia Ledger, Republican, in a running comment on President Harri son’s message, has the following to say touching the reference to the Force bill: “The Federal election laws is tlie last topic of the message. It is dispassionately treated, the President calling attention to tiie fact that such laws arc not new things —that they already exist—that they as sume control of Congressional elections— that they are necessary for the assurance of “free and honest elections”—that the existing laws stop just short of the line of effectiveness for that purpose; that they should be developed fully enough to make them effective, and that they should be so enacted as to be "absolutely non-partisan and impartial.” Few fair-minded men will gainsay this. Certainly we will not. But the President should not let this other point, escape his view, nor should Congress either, that the pending bill is the product of most inveterate partisanship, both as to its paternity and as to the House of Rep resentatives that passed it. It would fall by lh<; President’s own test.” President Harrison, in his message, esti- mv.es the. expenses of the Government luting the fiscal year of 1,892 at $357,000,- 0 0. The .Secretary of the Treasury has sent to Congress a statement making an estimate of $407,000,000. The clerks of the House and Senate committees have prepared a table according to which the Government expenses for 1892 will be $4.si,O00,(i0(). The administration is evi- 'i-cs-ly rattled.

Instantly the ladders turned ' up and siie was among the first rescued, lhe top floor was occupied by sixteen | parsons, Mr. and Mrs. Irwin and fourteen men, employes of the Hotel Anderson. At ! tiie first alarm, Irwin ran down through j the hails, which were already tilled with ! smoke, to alarm the occupants of the | rooms. He went as far as tiie second floor j and then rushed back to assist his I wife. When lie returned to bis j room she was not there. Filled with anx- j iely for her welfare he began a search of I the buil ling. He cashed f.om room to room on the fourth ffior and, not finding her started for the third. It was ih<-ie he died. Overcome by smoke he sank ex hausted near the rear wall on the floor, aud at the other end of the hall the wife for wiiom he died had perished. She had started down stairs, hut was suffocated before reaching the third floor. Her body was found on the third laud ing dead, lier body was covered with plaster and in the darkness had been trampled over by the firemen a long time befoie it was discovered. The building was a four-story brick. The first floor was used by Joseph Kimwell & Go. as a drug store, and the other three floors for j sleeping apartments. The fire is sup- | posed to have started in the basement j from the heating boilers. There was no j watchman and the flames had spread to the fourth story before they were discov ered. There were no fire escapes on the | building. The loss is $40,000, fully cov ered bv insurance. 11474 Broad Street. WHOLESALE SHOES.

A fail of 20 to 30 degrees in the past twenty-four hours oc curred over the region extending from West Virginia and southwest ward io Southern Alabama and Mississippi, and the temperature in Wisconsin, Northern Illinois and Northeastern Iowa is more than twenty degrees below normal for the season. It will probably be still colder to morrow morning in the South Atlantic and Miiidie States and \.-w England, but the existing low temperature condition east of the Mississippi is not likeiy to be of long continuance, as the storm central this morning in Western Nebraska will, in its movement eastward, cause warmer weather.
