No Southern man will put any obsta cle in the path ol a negro who is educa ting himself or his children, hut lew there are who rebelnot against a system that makes them pay for the education of the progeny of negroes, who either loaf upon the highways all the year round, or labor only when forced. Here Is where the harness binds. The number of idle negroes is simply appalling. They block the sidewalks in certain sections of the cities and hang about cross-roads like flies around a molasses drip.

Tns lv-synnetajt: “Georgiaclaim, to have no authority to spend a cent to be represented at any ixpotltlon In the world! Georgia Is like the men who thinks he can run a businevs without advertising. She will to left." Our contemporary ia wiae and pern>pacorrect. But Georgia pasted the law which now operates against her at a time when there were more than one way of getting left. Take tbe whole State through and it will be found that not ten per cent, of of the negro population puts in six days of honest work. The statement is not made rashly but founded upon an in timate acquaintance with'the race and with the plantation system. It ia in overlooking this fact that all the negrophiliats of tho day stumble blindly. Though we may have over grown our foundations, st ill the ground plan of society remains the same, and its principles have not varied. The burden of taxation upon each member should be the same. h<s responsibilities the same and his privileges the same And just as clearly as one cannot lay out his fund before it is in hand, neither can society, nor the State, nor the county justly expend taxes to edu cate the children of a man who con tributes nothing to the fund. He need not, himself, be an actual contributor of money to swell the fund. If he be an honest day laborer in the fields he does his part, for the sum of his pro duction is ultimately taxed. Society’s first duty to the negro, he being a part of society,is, therefore, not the gift of a free school education, but the enforcement of a law that will make him a self-supporter and a producer. This is the prime duty that scciciy owes to itself. The negrophilists would have it that education is the first, but the fallacy of the argument is plain when it is shown that the rule extended to all ranks would force the people to secure knowledge before bread. An ignorant population may threaten society but a hungry popula tion will destroy it. When the negro population of Geor gia is at work it will not be difficult to secure education for the children. A very small tax upon the increase of wealth which must result from steady labor will accomplish all that can be desired. erty shall he be forced to give in his tax able property at $250,000, when really he has but $175,0007 This is the ques tion. We have been informed that in this county the custom has been, under such circumstances, to return the lattersum. Opposed to the view expressed by the merchants is one upon which in all probability the clause is predicated. Whlieitis true that A, in the case above cited may owe $75,000 upon his stock, still is it not a fact that he really owns the whole stock and uses it as capital to transact business? And if A is not taxed for tbe $75,000 be owes, bat which is represented in his stock, who is to pay tax upon it? The question is a nice one and one of much importance. It will, in all probability, since attention has been called to it, be thoroughly discussed upon the floor of the House. The Telegraph baa already advised the passage of the bill, but if it can be im proved upon, we shall be glad to see the improvement made. Perhaps the clause quoted may be worded bo as to afford equity and justice all around. Tui question ia, will the President gain anything (or hlmtell, bla administration or hit pirty, by permitting hlmet-lf to be bullied by the It-publicans Into mak ing a cn inet matter of every little ap- polnttiunt to which thsjobject?

The principle laid down in the Ster ling case is apt to work harm through out tho South. Sterling was appointed by Collector Hedden as weigher in the New York customhouse for tbe district of Brooklyn, vice Bacon removed. Ba con is a Bepubllcan, Sterling a Demo crat, and the office not a Presidential one, t ut appertaining solely'to Collec tor Hedden’s department. Yielding to the pressure of Republicans and Mugwumps, President Cleveland has interposed and ordered the suspension of Sterling. It is claimed that Bacon was not rightfully deprived of office. In Georgia to-day, every effort Is be ing made by a certain class of politi cians to build up personal strength without regard to the welfare of tbe country or the Democratic party. Just such a principle as that established in the Sterling case will give these men the opportunity desired, by which they may escape responsibility and gain the BUDport ot the floating fragments of the Republican party. It will be sufficient answer, sufficient for the purpose in view, for men in charge of Southern offices who desire to retain Republicans in the service, to allege a want of au thority.

New York Commercial and Financial Chroni cle. Tbe Ronme-ian Rebellion. Tbe province of Roumelia, which a few days since by the almost unani mous action of its inhabitants cut loose from Turkey and annexed itself to Bul garia, was one of the Porte’s most val uable tributaries. Financially speak ing,it was worth about one million dol lars per year. This province was detached in 1878 by the treaty ot Berlin, except in point of tribute, and had a government of its own. It has now become a part of Bulgaria by its own and the action of the Bulgarian Prince, who is notably guided by Russia and Austria. It is argued that this step, so far un accompanied by bloodshed, will dis turb the peace of Europe; that to maintain his prestige, or what •lit is left of it, tbe Porte must treat the occurrence as rebellion and restore tbe former position of af fairs by force of arms. Indeed the Roumeiians are bo thoroughly con vinced of this that they have burned connecting bridges, destroyed telegraph wires and occupied the strategic points on the Turkish frontier. They will un doubtedly have the backing ol Bulgaria and the sympathy of Russia and Aus tria. 'Who will pat the Sick Man on the shoulder? Aotive measures are being mads to in duce tbe Lrglalature of Georgia to modify tbe railroad law of tbat State. Tbe modi fications proposed seem to be reasonable and urgently iiemanded In tbe interest ol ra-lroa-1 property and tbe 8 ete’s Indus tries. For some six years the empire State of tbe South baa had a commission rloibtd with (xtraordlnery, not to iay despotic powers, and tbe experience has been wbat uitgbt have bean expected ua- d,r the circumstances. Having absolute control over rates, these taller bave been “regulated”—tbat is, reduced—rid tbe rail- rondi find tbelr income furiously dimin ished, wlib tbe not inviting prospect be fore tberu ot a still larger dtmlnatlon at any time the comraisiion think It incum bent upon them to order a further reduc tion of rater, There appears to be good evidence that tbe commissioners bave teen very arbi trary tu tbe exercise ot tbe large posers held by them. Rates bave been changed solely on theit own Judgment, without con- suiting rallrotd managers or giving them any previous notice. Brunches bave been treated the same as It tbey were main stems, aud were not dependent upon local business alone t i mass them self- sustaining. Uniform tariffs bave been fixed, applying to all roads alike, regardless of location or natural adv-n'agoa. Though the commis sion assumed ait this work, it dors not ap pear tbat they bad any apeolal fitness for the teak, and certainly tbey conld not be familiar with the circumstances of each particular case Moreover, no definite right of appeal from Uifir so ion was given tbe railroads and the commission baa even contended tbat tbe courts were powerless to grant redress. To make matters worse, heavy penalties bsve been established for any Infraction of the rules or regulations ot tbe board. It Is nnt strange that the railroads should seek relief from sucb a state ot affairs, ft may occasion surprise, though, tbat Intel- I’g-nt public senilment should be no less Impressed with tbe necessity ot a change. One ot the leading papers in tbe State, which wse a staunch advocate ot tbe orig inal law creatfog tbe commission, la now strongly In favor of soms modification ol tbat law, so as to resirict and limit the powers of the board. Tbe Governor ot the mate, in bts message to tbe Legislature, last November, took pronounced grou d in tbs same direction, and urged the Ltgti lature to provide some means of appeal to tbe courts from tbe commissioners’ order;. Indeed, the commtwtunera themselves were in fa vor of granting ep, eat to the railroads as late as 1884, and it was upon a suggeatlon to tbat tiled conlalmd in their eeml-an- nual report that the Governor bared bis recommendatloua. Perhaps they still bold to the same opinion, but some of tbeir later actions and utterances, as reported, seem to be strangtly at variance with tbat view, loiitly, a committee ot tbe State t-cnate appointed to examine Into tbe work ing of tbe law, which aa: during tbe ram mer recess, and he ird testimony and aigu How a ttad Mlchisandar Resisted the Sheriff and Certified Hlmaelf In Hie Home. A Ionia, Michigan, special says Abner Aldrich, a man of about 45 years ot age, wttb bit wife and two children, one of them a young man of about 20, live on a farm about eight miles northeast of tbia city, and one mile east ot Cotlina station, ou the Detroit, Lansing, and Northern rail road.

Many people bave held tbat tbe only solution of the Indian problem is work, work for the Indians. A chief has re cently added strength to this view. R ed Cloud tells his people that as long as the Great Father knows that they aro unable to support themselves they will be provided with rations, but if they become self-supporting they will re ceive no more help. When it was sug gested to him that his men should learn to become farmers hn said: “Out farmer (their lEitiuc'.or In igrlruUurel Is not ot the rlsbt kind. He comes hero to make us warriors work. What we want Is tor the Great Father to send us white men to plant ourcora, boeIt,bespit,andputlubarns, which they should build (er us. We are war riors and don't work-squaws work." In this connection it is a curious fact that tho black squaws have largely dis continued wotk in the fields of the South. No country can attain to its full power and usefulness with idlers and non-producers, and neither the red nor black problem may he solved until the bucks and squaws are both com pelled to earn their bread.
