And the opportunity is at hand to test
the matter, iu a small way, right here at

Iu an editorial, appealing to our peo
ple on behalf of a cause which speaks
trumpet-tongued for itself, the Atlanta
Herald thus presents tbe claims of Con
federate Veterans on the people of the
state of Georgia:
The whole situation has been care
fully canvassed. Georgia contains in
her population many unfortunate men
who, by the casualties of war and other
Invalia conditions since, arc now unable
to support themselves. They woro will
ing volunteers at the call of tho state,
they were brave soldiers under the flags
of Bee, Bartow, Gordon, Jackson and
Lee, and were patient sufferers in the
general defeat and the consequent pov
erty. For a quarter of a century they
have struggled with the wolf and have
not complained against the Btate as neg
lectful of their needs, because they have
known her poverty and her struggles.
But to-day the state is comparatively
independent. Her property is increas
ing twenty millions per annum and her
flnancial ability is improving with the
To repeat to-day
the n-gumeots of tweuty years ago
against public provision for the state’s
invalid soldier-servants would be abso
lutely shameful. The poople through
out Georgia, wo feel sure, are practical
ly unanimous In their willingness to
make this late return to thnir lingoring
aud suffering veterans. N’o true and
good man, iu whose bosom there is love
fur patriotism, valor and history, and
who is a member of the general ossom-
bly of to-day, should refuto to accopt
and establish the Veterans' Home.
Tuk latest idea iu regard to regulating
the liquor traffle Is one embodied iu a
hill recently introduced iu the Kansas
City common council It,provides for
the licensing of dilnkcrs—that each por

purchase a licet ic, to vary in cost from
$U0 to $50, according to tbe expensive-!
ness of tbe liquor to be indulged iu.

In a negative sort of way the Louis
ville Times tells somo truths that are
more often thought than uttered: “If
tbe Democratic National Convention
next year were delegated to nominate tbe
Republican candidate for president It
would not lie lllalne, and If the Republi
can National Convention were - elegated
to nomiuate the Democratic candidate it
would not be Cleveland.”
The Richmond Dispatch aaya: “Mas
sachusetts is nut a democratic atate. It
will note vote for Mr. Cleveland next
year. It ia fur Massachusetts first, last
and all the time—that la aeldsh.” Ia
not that rather poor encouragement for
the democrati of a state who in the face
of 80,000 majority a few years ago, have
made Massachusetts debatable ground
and last year elected tbelr governor and
a majority of the congressional delega
tion. All honor to the Masaachuaetta
democrats and their worthy associates
all over tbe north and west. They
never raise their arms to strike, a blow
“tfPt for the liberty and rights of all
their fellow countrymen.
THK EFFECT OF EDUCATION.
Tho Chattanooga Tradesman, in its in
ane o' tho 15th Instant, published an ex
haustive review of the status of negro
labor in tho south, and an inquiry into
the elTect which education has had upon
the negro as a laborer. To tho question
Involving this Hat pi int 139 replies were
received, in which every southern state
Is represented. Thirty employers, hav
ing 3,StH) colored workmen, say the edu
cation tho younger generation lias re
Ceiveil lias been beneficial to them ms la
borers, and tliat education has been of
aid to the laborers of tho race in general;
thirteen employing 392 are in doubt on
tbo subject, and niuety-six wlio employ
2,831) say that such education as tho
younger of the colored race have receiv
ed has not been of benefit to them as
laborers, and that generally speaking it
detracts from a negro's efficiency as a
laborer to educate him.
This has long been a debatable and
Interesting question—one that has long
attracted the attention of statesmen and
political economists, and as yet there
seems to he no definite solution of It
Tbe preponderance of opinion teems to
leave no doubt, however, that the schol
astic education of tho negro tends to
unfit him for common labor; but there
Is, at the same time, no question that a
moderate education makes them better
and more efficient laborers in the trades
and Industries that require more skill
and Intelligence than that necessary to
do common labor.
Leaving aside theory, and reverting to
the oondition which brings forward to
prominently this problem at this time,
the argument it not that education
makes them any tbe less unfit to do
Iiard, useful and profitable manual
labor, but that “a little learning” does
actually cause them to despise common
labor—their common lot when in com
petition with the educated white man—
and to this extent, therefore, education
ia injurious and unprofitable to them.
