It seems that President Harri
son has placed himself between
^{be devil and the Deep sea” in
life efforts to keep his special
White friends* from “close commun
ion” with the colored brethren,
and his companion efforts to keep
in- band the Aegroes as a working
p£rt of the republican party. The
problem i¬ easy of solution,- and
already there has been some lan
guage more expressive than com
plimentary.
^ scliool
Georgia is most important, and its
solution is apt to occupy a large
share of public attention for many
years yet to dome.
The public school fund was
largely increased by action"' of the
legislature at the last session, and
by that same action u further in
crease will be available next year.
Added, ‘to this, the fund nppropri
ated by the National government
■will probably give us next year
double the-amount of free educa
tion heretofore received.
It is highly commendable and
right that cur legislators should
provide for the free education of
our children, so far as can be
without rendering the taxation
overburdensome. ^
We think, however, that a step
too far might be 'taken in provid
ing for the education of our chil
dren at the expense *bf the state.
By this we mean, that no more
state money than is. nowf-appropri-
ated to established colleges should
devoted to so-called “higher edu
cation.” The large majority of
Georgia citizens are poor people,
and it is the children of these for
whom the state should provide
free education. We do not wish to
appear as opposed to collegiate ed
ucation, but we want the state to
do the greatest good to the great
est number, and this can be done
only by devoting the school fund
as nearly exclusively as practica
ble to the common schools of the
state, leaving the colleges to take
care of themselves. Of course we
do not advocate an abandonment
of the State University, but we do
say “no more branch colleges.”
The children of our “every-day
people want good, plain English
education. Most of them cannot
afford the attendant expenses that
go with the frills, flounces and
laces of “higher education.
We hold that it isyiot the prov-
ence of the state to provide di
plomas for a few at the expense of
the many.
In many cities, towns and coun
ties the state fund has been sup-
plimented by local systems, and
schools are sustained that afford
all the education needed.
We are glad to note that Perry
aDd Fort Valley are taking steps
in that direction.

In following up this proposed
work, the town council of Perry,
at the regular monthly meeting
held last Monday night, unani
mously passed the following im
portant resolution:
“Counqil Chamber,
Perry/Ga., July 1st; 1889.
“Whereas, we, the mayor and
council, the corporate authorities
of the town of Perry, deem it ab
soulntely necessary for the ad
vancement ofthe educational and
business interests of said town
that a system of public schools he
established find maintained in said
town: Therefore, be it resolve^,
That we, as mayor and council of
the town of Perry, do most ear
nestly recommend that authority
be granted said town, by the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia, to es
tablish and maintain & system of
public schools within the corpo
rate limits, and we do request that
the bill prepared and to be intro
duced at the present session ofthe'
legislature by Hon. B. N. Holtz-
claw, representative from Houston
county, be made the law under
which said system shall be estab
lished and maintained.”

The record of strikes this year
indicates much progress in com
mon'sense; as to the adjustment of
business relations between workers
and employers; During the six
months of 1889 just ended, there
were 29(3 strikes, in which 7-5,110
strikers were involved. For the
same period of 1888 there were
389 strikes and 111,201 strikers.
A decrease of 107 strikes and 86,-
091 strikers within 12 moutfit; At
this rate, if seems probable that
the time is coming when strikes
will not be popular as means of
securing “justice” to workingmen.

The preliminary trial of Jack
Dubose has not yet been held. He
is held in Bibb county jail for
complicity in the murder of the
Woolfolk family, under a w arrant
served upon him on Jghe loth,
while he was held in the jail at
Perry ns a witness. It is the gen
eral-opinion-that the warrant has
been an absolute farce from the
beginning, and that the trial will
be nothing more than a legal
means of release. Justice demands
immediate -action.
The very heavy rains of the last
few days have considerably dam
aged the cotton crop in this viem-
