i be exercises at the Normal School
yesterday were unusually interesting,
an j t he teachers weTe well pleased.
Gov. Northen was present with them
during the day and made
t heni a splendid speech, and
his remarks were well received by the
large crowd present.
Commissioner Biadwell went over to
Atlanta Wednesday and promised to
bring the Governor back with him, and
he redeemid his promise,
Commissioner Brad well and Governor
Xortlien arrived on the Georgia, Caro
lina and Northern yesterday morning
at 10:40 o’clock. At the depot they
v ere met by Hon. H. C. Tuck, Presi-
dent I. - B. Evans, Mr. J. B. Toomer,
and Mr. T. W. Reed.
Governor Northen was driven at
once to Rock Culleg*
behind lour of Barry’s
finest steeds. The teachers cheered
heartily upon his appearance
The reception room would not begin
to hold the crowd and hence quite a
number did not get to hear Goy. Nor
then’s address.
Commissioner Bradwell in a few ap
propriate words introduced Gov. Nor
then to the teachers as the great friend
of popular education in Georgia,
whose interest in the teachers of the
state was unbounded, and whose great
est wish now is to build up the educa
tional interests of the commonwealth;
Gov. Northern said: Mr. Bradwell
has been very faithful to carry out’ his
promises
toi; me that
to do would be to look at your work,sad
acre 1 lind that 1 am expected to make a
speech.
1 csd say, however, that I am con
fronted today by the grandest spectacle
1 have seen for forty years. Georgia
has made great strides in her educa
tional facilities,but this Normal school
work is the grandest conception of
them all.
1 am no new convert to this scheme
on the statute book of Georgia for
1m7s-7‘J you will And a bill passed and
made a law to establish a Normal
school in Georgia. It failed in its es
tablishment then, but I stand today in
the full realization of the fondest of mj
hopes that were expressed ia that bill
o[ winch 1 bad the honor to be the au
thor.
The best people in Georgia are just
these people 1 speak to today, and they
are entrusted with a mighty
work—that of training
up the future citizens. The farmer
looks to an increase in material pros
perity and labors to make larger and
better crops, all this being well and
good. But you turn your attention to
the development of the intellect and
moral nature. The farmer has his har
vests of wheat and corn,while you gath
er as your results a harvest of citizens
who exercising the gifts ef learning,
made perfect under yiur training, take
the lead in affairs of church and state
government.
There is no higher or better work
than this which develops the intellect
ami morals of the people.
1 have taken an interest in education
because it is the base of every other in
terest of the people. If the people are
uneducated they fail in both material
progress and government, and place
themselves in a position where they fall
&u easy prey to the demagogue.
but what about this school. The
Legislature has had a wrong idea of this
subject, never thinking Normal train
ing necessary. But it is necessary and
the people know it. As a teacher, 1
could not teach by your methods for
you have advanced and
your methods are
itnptoved. So in every department of
life, improvement is the word, and es
pecially to in educational matters. It
is a mistaken idea that we don’t need
b- If I want to make atin cup I must
serve an apprenticeship at the trade,
snd when we come to make a citizen
they say it is necessary to serve the tern
of apprenticeship.
This school must bo noticed by the
next General Assembly of Georgia, and
who will push the movement in its
iavor wish your help. When you go
home talk to your Representative or
Senator and sLow him the advantage
tlist this session has given you.
Me don’t want this movement - to fail
»»<1 wo don’t intend it shall fail.' I bad
tsther aoe this school go forward to
*in*l triumph and success than any one
enterprise ever started in Georgia.
This is the highest profession known

*** it crowned with ultimate and laat-

While the charges for meals are very
cheap, Aunt Caroline manages to set be

tempt the palate of the most fastidious.
Id the afternoon Gov. Northen wit
nessed the lectures and recitations of
the teacher 8 and pronounced the work
being done as of a superior quality. At
five o’clock the Governor returned to
Atlanta, with most pleasing recollec
tions of his visit.

of the Carnegie Steel company, was
again under examination by tbe Oates
8 ub-cominittee. To the question wheth
er he (Frick) had anything to do with
famishing arms for tbe Pinkerton men,
Mr. Frick oould not be prevailed upon
to give a direct answer , but his replies
amounted to an admission that lie had.
Sheriff McClenry eaid tho people
would not serve on his posse because
they were afraid of being killed. This
statement caused a general laugh, and
Mr. Boatuer said the war feeling was
not strong here.
William Weihe, ex-president of the
Amalgamated assooiatic-r., was examin
ed. He was asked by Judge Taylor :
"Was it not the object of these uisn,
when they fought the Pinkertons, to
prevent the mill being worked by non
union men ? "
* Well, that may have b«en the ob
ject. 1 don’t know what it wsi "
." Well, I have little doubt that such
was tbe case. ” said Judge Taylor.
Weihe was asked if tbe association al
ways carried ou$ its contract, and lie
said yes.
Chairman Oates said: "Is it not trne
that after signing a scale the members
of your association notified the compa
ny that unless certain tilings were done
in this controversy they would quit aud
thus break their contract?"
Well, I know some such thing was
done. ”
Hugh O’Donnell was called, and Mr.
Oates said: "Now, Mr. O’Donnell,
while we are not here to assume any
thing, we wish to say that if the an
swers to any questions we ask you may
tend to cmninate you you may not an

tions. . ,
While he did not tbinkTie ought to

place. *

mentsto the Bill,
Washington, July 14.—Immediately
ifter the reading of the journal and
without any morning business, on
Wednesday the sundry civil appropriu
tion bill was taken up, the pending
question'being Mr. Quay’s Sunday clos
iug amendment to the section providing
for the issue of 10,000,000 souvenir liul
dollars in aid of the Columbian exposi
tipn, speeches to be limited to five min
utes.
Mr. Sanders moved to lay Mr. Quay’s
amendment on the table. Rejected-
yens, 11; nays, 45. Mr. Quay!* amend
rneut was tlieu agreed to without divi
sion
Mr. Peffer offered an amendment to
add to the section a provision prohibit
ing the sale of intox eating liquors on
the exposition ground, except for medi
cal, mechanical or scientific purposes.
After a * brief debate, Mr. Peffer’s
amendment was agreed to—yeas, 23;
nays, 26.
Mr. Allison moved an amendment
which was agreed to—limiting gross ex
penditures for medals, electric services,
etc., to $500,IKK). The exposition amend
ment was agreed to—yeas, 51; nays, 11.
This action, however, was in commit
tee of the whole, aud will l>e subject to
change when the bill is reported back to
the senate. There will certainly be an
effort to defeat, at least, Mr. Peffer’s
amendment.
