!R EDUCATIONAL BILL
The press of the South is almost
a unit in opposition to the bill in
troduced bv Senator Blair to educate
the American people by appropria
tion from the general government,
and even isorae of our Georgia papers
are qui'.o harsh in their criticisms
rgainsi Senator Colquitt on account
of his declared intention to vote for
the measure. We are rather favor
ably iucliucd toward the Blair bill—
not, however, as it now reads, which
gives a governmental control over
State schools; but the principle is
right, and if the objectionable para
graphs could he stricken out or
amended so that each State could re
tain control of its educational inter
ests, we believe it would he a God
send and a blessing to thousands of
poor children in the South, now
grownig up in ignorance, and whom
this money would lift up in the world
and place on an equal footing
with those who have the
advantages of wealth. It is true
that a portion of the appropriation
would goto educate the negro; but
no just man will permit this preju
dice to stand in the way of the poor
children of his own race. Georgia
is now spending a large portion
of the money wrung from her
white tax-payers to send negroes to
school, and under our present Con
stitution we must share the fund
equally with them. Now, is it not
better to let the general government
assume this burthen—and especially
, y so when the whites will get their
full share of the appropriation? If
the Blair , bill becomes a law, the
Southern States, owing to their negro
population, will receive a larger
portion of this money, for it is dis
tributed according to ignorance.
Again, the republican party is de
termined to squander the millions
now lying idle in the treasury, and
the only possible way for the South
to receive a share of the spoils is to
secure it through the Blair educa
tional bill. Otherwise, every dollar
. of this money will go to the North
We are not afraid that the youths of
the South can ever be contaminated,
it matters not by what methods they
are taught. They imbibed Southern
principles with their mothers’ milk,
and will rema.’" true and loyal to
the precepts ot nrcir fathers. Only
give them an education, and they
will know how to apply it for the
honor and prosperity of their coun
try.
We have not read this bill in
full—only a synopsis of it—and from
our understanding, its chief fault
rests in turning the private school
system of the States over to the con
trol of the general government. Of
course, this will not do; but cannot
our Southern congressmen have this
objectionable clause strickcnTiut, so
as to capture tfie rich prize for their
people? Senator Blair is fearful of
the defect ot his bill, and will
doubtless make reasonable conces
sions to the South tosecura the vote
of its representatives. The bill does
not demand co-education of the
raeep, and this is the greatest danger
the South has to fear from govern
mental control of her schools.
Of one thiDg we feel assured: If
Senatoi Colquitt votes for the Blair
educational bill, there will be noth
ing in it that can endaDger the in
terests cf the South, and he will not
accept for his people a dirty shilling.
We have watched the career of
this grand old soldier-statesman
ever binee he has been in congress,
und he has ever been true to his
people and the principles of his
party. Georgians can place implicit
confidence in Senator Colquitt’s de
votion to their interests and loyalty
to his party, and lie will never cast
a vote that will bring the blush of
shame to the cheek of an honest and
patriotic Georgian.
cannot see how any patriotic and
self-respecting man can get his con
sent to longer do business with him.
Our merchauts do not get better
terms from Wauamakcr’s stores than
hundreds of other equally responsi
ble Arms in the North will give
them. The question is simply a mat
ter of choice—and we do not believe
a loyal democratic, merchant in our
State will ever again contribute one
dollar to swell his gains. To do so
would be not only an endorsement of
his negro appointments, but an indi
rect contribution to the republican
campaign corruption fund in 1892.
The Wanamaker boycott is in full
force iu Athens, is sweeping o’er
Geoigia like a tidal wave, and is des
tined to reach from Maryland to
Texas.
The Bulletin is guilty of uttering
puerile and arrant nonsense” when
it seys: “Suppose Northern republi
can merchants should refuse to sell
to or to trust Southern democratic
merchants, how would that kind of
boycotting work?” There is no such
supposeable case. When Southern
merchants go North to buy goods
they either have cash or collateral,
and the dealer is yet to be born who
will try and boycott such irrepressi
bles. Athens’ factories will sell
Wanamaker their goods, or our
farmers will supply him with cot
ton—but there is a wide difference
between taking a man’s money and
letting him ,get your’s.
Again, it would be- better for the
South if our people would let alone
so many Northern goods. We are
now in a position to be self-sustain
ing, and there is no reason why the
South should not raise and manu
facture ever}' article she needs, from
a silk dress to a locomotive. For
more than four years we managed to
get along without Yankee goods,
and supported, too, an army that
held in check the troops of the
world—and at that time our re
sources were not one-tenth as ex
tended and varied as they are to
day. It would be a God-send to our
people if the Northern merchants
would boycott them; but it will
never be done, for the people in the
regions round about Troy, N. Y
were never known to boycott the al
mighty dollar.

TRACED IN BLOOD;
OR *
The Little Old Man of the Batignolles
THE WANAMAKER BOYCOTT-
We clip the following from the
Troy (N. Y.) Bulletin:
The merchants of Athens, Ga., threat-
in to boycott Postmaster-General John
iVanamnker’s firm by buying no more
poods cf it, l>< esuse a negro has been ap
pointed postmaster of that place. That
kind ol boycotting is puerile and arrant
nonsente. Georgia merchants don’t buy
goods of Vi anamaker’s firm because they
like him, but because they can net better
terms of that concern than ’by buying
elsewhere. Now, suppose Northern re
publican merchants should refuse to sell
goods to or to trust Southern democratic
inerchan's, how would this kind of boy
cotting work? It would probably make
some of the Southerners, who regard poli
tics and merchandise as the same thing,
sick.
From a Yankee standpoint, this
boycott may seem “puerile and ar-
,rant nonsense;” but from the way
I we see it down South, it appears as
a proper and just resentment of an
insult and outrage heaped upon a
helpless and unoffending people,
since Mr. Wanamaker has seen fit
to disregard the wishes of every rep
resentalive citizen and business man
i n Alliens, and accept as his adviser

VlHAPTER X.
WHERE IS SENATOR BROWN?
It seems that Georgia has only one
senator, as we have not seen Joseph
E. Brown’s name mentioned
months, in connection with public
legislation. While Colquitt has
been working day and night to save
his peoDle from the humiliation
negro officers, our senior Senator has
not raised his voice in protest or
lifted a hand—as any one knows of.
Now is the time our people need
their every senator and congress
man at his post, and expect them to
exert ail power to turn the tide
of republican malignity directed
toward our seetion. If Senator
Brown is not physically able to dis
charge his public duties, he should
resign and let the Governor appoint
some man who can and will meet the
enemy in his stronghold. He owes
this to the people who elected him to
office, and it is a betrayal of their
trust when he persists in holding an
office as a mere figure-head—being
either incapable or unwilling to aid
bis oppressed and struggling people.
The Carnesville Tribune is the
only Georgia paper that condemns
the Wanamaker boycott, and con
dones tbe appointment of a negro
postmaster in Athens. As Miss
Ellen Dortcli, a young lady, is editor
of the Tribune, we of course cannot
express our opinion of such a posi
tion by a Southern paper.' We feel
assured that Miss Dortch stands
alone among her sex on tbe position
she has taken in regard to Ibis
humiliating degredation to a Geor
gia city. By tbe way, is not the fa
ther of Miss Dortch postmaster at
Carnesville, and his term will soon
expire? Perhaps this fact will ac
count for the milk in the cocoanuL
Standing a little behind M. Mechinet, I
could watch Mnie. Monistrol’s face at my
leisure, and detect the most trifling ex
pressions of feeling. .
She seemed overwhelmed with grief,
large tears rolled down her pale cheeks,
and yet at times I fancied I could detect,
in the depths of her large blue eyes, some
thing like a gleam of joy.
"Could she be guilty?” I thought.
And this idea, which had already oo-
enrred to me, presenting itself still more
obstinately to my mind, I hastily ad
vanced and said, brusquely: *
‘But you, Madame, where wefB"you
during this fatal evening, while yonr
husband was going on his useless errand
to Montrongo to find his workman?”
She looked at me with a bewildered
gaze, and answered, gently:
“I was here, Monsieur. There are wit
nesses who will prove it.”
"Witnesses!”
"Yes, Monsieur. It was so warm that
evening that I wanted some ice-cream,
but did not care to eat it alone. So I sent
my servant to invite two of my neigh
bors, Madame Dorstrlch, the wife of the
shoe-maker, whoso shop adjoins ours, and
Madame Ilenaille, the glove-seller oppo
site. They accepted my invitation, and
stayed here until half-past eleven. Ask
them: they will tell you so. Amid the
cruel trials to which I am subjected, this
accidental circumstance is a special favor
of Providence.”
Was it an accidental circumstance?
This was the question M. Mechinet and
I asked each other with a glance as rapid
as lightning.
When chance is so very intelligent,
serves a cause so aptly, it is difficult not
to suspect it of having been a little ar
ranged.
But this was not the right moment to
reveal the depth of our thoughts.
"You hnve never been suspected, ma-
dame,” said M. Mechinet, shamelessly.
“The worst that could be supposed is
that your husband told yon something
about tbe crime before committing it.”
"Monsieur, if you knew us ”
"Stop! Your business is not very pros-
’perous, we have been told; youaroembar-
rassed.”
"Temporarily, yes; bnt ”
"Your husband must have been un
happy and anxious about this precarious
situation. He must have grieved espe
cially for your sake; for you whom he
worships—you who are young and beauti
ful; for you, far more than himself, he
must have ardently desired the luxuries
and pleasures wealth procures.”
"Monsieur, I tell you onoe more, my
husband is innocent.”
M. Mechinet, reflecting deeply seemed
to be filling his nose with snuff. Then he
said suddenly:
“Deuce take it! Then how do yon ex
plain his confession? An Innocent man
who declares himself guilty at the bare
mention of the crime of which he is sus
pected, is rare, madame.”
A fleeting blush crimsoned the young
wife’s face.
For the first time her glance, till now
frank and dear, became wandering and
troubled.
“I suppose,” she replied, in an indis
tinct voice, with a fresh burst of tears—
"I think my husband, terrified and be
wildered at finding himself accused of so
great a crime, lost his senses.”
„ M. Mechinet shook his head.
’ "Perhaps,” said he, “a passing frenzy
might be admitted; hut this morning,
after a long night spentin reflection,Mon.
aieur Monistrol persisted in hie confes
sion.”
Was this true? Did my worthy neigh
bor Invent It? or, before calling for me,
hhd he gone to the prefecture to get the
latest intelligence?
However this might be, the young wife
seemed on the point of fainting; and, hid
ing her face between her hands, mur
mured:
“Merciful Heaven! my poor husband
has gone mad!”
This was not my opinion. Convinced,
henceforward, that I was playing a part
In a farce, and the young wife’s despair
was only a lie, I asked myself whether,
for certain reasons that escaped my detec
tion, she had not determined the terrible
resolution taken by her husband; and
whether, if he were innocent, she did not
know the real criminal?
After addressing a few words of com
monplace consolation to the wife, M.
Mechinet gave her to understand that she
would dispel many prejudices by assisting,
with a good grace, in a minute examina
tion of her home.
She seized upon this opening with eager
ness that was evidently unfeigned.
"Look,gentlemen,” said she; “examine,
rummage everywhere. You will do me a
service, and it won’t take long. We have
only the shop—the back shop— where we
are now; our servant’s room in the sixth
story, and a little cellar. Here are the
keys.
To my great astonishment M. Mechinet
accepted them, and appeared to be maV
appointment, “I find nothing—We aah.go
b:ick."
We did so, but not in the same order
that we had gone down, lor in returning
l went first.
I therefore opened the door of the back
shop and the Monistrols’ dog instantly
rushed at me, barking so furiously that I
Started back.
"The deuce! it’e your savage dog,” said
M. Mechinet to the young wife, who had
already driven it away by a wave of the
band.
“No, indeed, ho isn't savage,” she re
plied, "only a good watchdog. We are
jewellers, more exposed to thieves than
ptber shopkeepers, so we trained him.”
Mechanically, as one always does after
having been threatened by a dog, I called
this one by his name, which I knew.
“Pluto! Plutol”
But Instead of approaching me, the
animal drew back, growling and showing
his sharp teeth.
“Oh, it’s useless for you to call him,”
said madame, thoughtlessly, “he won’t
follow you.”
"Why so?”
"Because he is faithful, like all dogs of
that breed, and will obey no one but his
master and myself.”
This apparently unimportant remark
was a flash ot light to me. Without re
flecting, far more hasty than I should be
now, I exclaimed:
"Then where was this faithful dog on
Hie evening of tbe crime, madams?"
This point-blank question produced
suoh an effect upon her that she almost
dropped the oandlrwtlok aha still held in
her band.
"I don’t know,” aha stammered; "1
don’t remember.”
"Perhaps he followed year husband.”
"Why, yes; now I seem to recolleoL”
"Then he is trained to follow carriages,
for you told us you went to the omnibus
with your husband?”
She was silent, and I was about to con
tinue, when M. Mechinet interrupted me.
Far from taking advantage of the young
wife’s agitation, he seamed to he trying
to soothe her, and after haviug urged hor
to obey the magistrate's summons, drew
me away.
"Have yon lost your senses?” said be,
when we were outside.
The reproach wounded me.
"Is it losing my senses,” I retorted, "to
find the solution of the problem?-1 have
It. Monistrol’s dog will guide us to the
truth.”
My eagerness drew a smile from my old
neighbor, who answered in a fatherly
tone.
"You are right,” mid ha, "I understand
you perfectly. Only, if Mme. Monistrol
has guessed your suspicions, the dog will
die or vanish before morning.”
