We Are Keeping The Score.
The Public School's First.
National .Democrat. ; . ; gatatmah News.
We have devoted a good deal of i The refusal of the House to pass
space to the contrast between the! j) r . Felton’s bill appropriating
pledges made by’% Eepublican $15,000 to . the. ; state university,
rtarlv lnsf wpnr nrin lie nprfnrmnn- p at. _ *
party last year And its performan
ces this year, and we shall devote
a good deal more space to this
same “deadly parallel.’' We do it
in no small spirit of taunting a
man or party with inconsistencies,
which are common to all men and
parties. We do it without com
mitting purselves ;at all as to the
merits of the original pledges or
the practicability of their fulfill
ment. We did not build the Re-
' publican platform and we are not
responsible for General Harri-
^qn’s speeches, whose solemn stu
pidities and eloquent platitudes
were received by the entire Re
publican parly asi the sum af all
human wisdom, bib political par
ty has. any right to promise that
in the event of its success at the
polls sunshine and shower shall
follow each other in ideal order,
and when it is foolish or wicked
jQough to prorpjse any such thing,
it 'should be held strictly responsi
ble for all damage wrought by
flood or drought. It is no defense
for it to urge after the election
that it has no control over the
weather; it should have considered
that before the election. The Na-
tiolal Democrat purposes to keep
the people of the United States in
mind from now until .November,
1892, of what the Republican par
ty promised and of what it has not
accomplished. The ; Republican
party has no po.Wbir lo make busi
ness prosperous and to give all the
laborers of the country plenty of
work at good wages, but it prom
ised them this in exchange for
their votes last year, and it will
not be out fault if the farmers and
the machapics, and the miners of
this Country, forget the terms on
which the votes of large propor
tions of the fu;st and third of these
classes were secured by the Re
publican party. It is no defense
now for the party to say through
the New York Press, th e New
York Tribune . and other of its
newspapers, that there are condi
tions wholly independent of the
tariff that makes business good or
bad. , Last summer ; and. fall were
the tiine to think of that, but last
summer and fall the Press and the
Tribune, and albtheir tribe, were
as silent as the grave about any
conditiqn other than the. tariff, that
made bbsineis good or bad.
The campaign that the Republi
can party carried on last fall was
in a large and national sense the
most corrupt campaign that a po
litical party ever conducted. We do
not refer to the petty corruption of
floaters in blocks of five by the
circulating medium^Even if in cer
tain close localities results can he
affected in thii way, still the indi
viduals corrupted are few in num
ber. Thank Gpd there is but a
email,fraction of the twelveTand-a-
haif million voters, in this, country
whose votes are merely, merchan-.
dise. Unfortunately these few
control many close districts or
states, but their total is not alarm
ing. .The-real, vast corruption of
the Republican party was in the
promise .of. public, pmney to cer
tain interests, classes and individ
uals in exchange for their votes or
their campaign ., contributions^ It
was the promise pf pension^money
to be paid .without. asking ques
tions, of subsidies to be given to
unprofitable private enterprises,,
of treasury rulings in the interest
of this man or that trade, of pub
lic land to every speculative .inter?
est that was -barred by ..the laws.
These are the real corrupt and
dangerous influencies utilized by
the Republicans. Whenever the
promised bribes we shall call the,
from the income to be derived
from the next lease of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad, indicates
very clearly that it is the policy of
the legislature to provide a good
system of public*- schools before
giving any additional assistance to
the higher educational institutions.
There is ho doubt that this policy
is the correct one.
Although $15,000 would'not be
a great deal to take away from the
public schools, the loss of it would
be felt by those schools,-in some
way. The chief objection to the
bill, however, was that the making
of the appropriation asked for
would have indicated a policy dif
ferent from that which Ras been
adopted with regard to ’educational
matters. The appropriation would
have been a precedent for other
and larger appropriations for
higher education. In fact, the
friends of higher education would
have made the precedent, in all
probability, the basis of a demand
for a pretty fair divisiou of the
money for educational purposes
between tpe higher educational in
stitutions and the public schools.
The Morning News has insisted,
and still insists, that it is the duty
of the state to provide a good sys
tem of common school education
for the children of the masses be
fore undertaking to build.:up in
stitutions of education, which can
be enjoyed by only ,a. few, There
is no doubt that Georgians feel a
deep interest in the welfare of the
state university, and would like to
see it grow and prosper, but very
few of-them are willing that mon
ey that can be spared, for educa
tional purposes shall be given to
the university rather than to the
publib schools. jj
There, js au awakening through
out the etate with regard to public
schools. Thousands of people who
a few years ago were rincliffcreiit
about them are now their most
earnest advocates. It would be a
mistake not to encourage this
awakening. And the only way to do
so is to use everj dollar that can
be spared in perfecting the public
school system. ,,
The state isRound to gits a rea
sonable, amount of support, to the
technological -..school .for boys
which it has established, and it is
probable that it will have to sup
port, in the near future,.^ similar
school for .girls. Public senti
ment seems to favor a. training
school for girls,, and there is no
reason why they should not be
dealt with as liberally, as the boys.
These training schools must be
cared for before the work of build
ing up the state university by state
aid is seriously entered upon.
The legislature, however much
it would like to do something
more for the .state uidyersity, must
be guided in its -acts by public
|ehtiment, and it- is certain that
Me, people waiit.the^public schools
and the training schools provided
for before any more help^ is. ex
tended to higher education, pt. is
tim& that the university was lean
ing a little,more Ijeavily upon the
rich members of its alumni, and it
is probable that it would receive a
great deal of • help _,fypm that
source if it were not a state insti
tution.

its talo.ns in the back of his right

Rev. P. L. J. May. who was
buried iD the cemetery at this
place not long-ago, was a very
good, but rather eccentric, old
gentleman.;;' Mr. Frank Wright
relates a rather-amusing incident
illustrative of the old gentleman’s
disposition and usefulness.
Years ago Mr. | May lived at
Oglethorpe. He was a very in
dustrious and ^enterprising man.
He was a preacher, rah a hotel,
and was Ordinary of. the county.
He also owned a ferry on Etint
river/ . , ; >
One da^ while Brother May was
at the ferry, and his ferryman had
gone off for a short while, a young
man and a girl came up in a bug
gy- : •
“Can you direct me to the man
who owns this ferry,” said the
young man.
It is miqe, and I’ll take you
across,” said Brother May.
After crossing the young man
asked; him who took in travellers
at Oglethorpe.
“I do,” said Brother May.
He wanted his horse and buggy
cared for And asked who kept a
public stabler *| . *> >,-» *
“I do,” said Brother May. ■ -
He then said that tie and the
girl had run away to ,get married,
and wanted to see the ordinary to
get license.
I am the ordinary,” said the
old man.

After issuing the lieense the
young man asked to be shown a
preacher. • •
I am a preacher; and will mar

which he did.

Orlando Brown, of Waterford,
Conn., had been mowing roadside
weeds, and .athirst he went to
drink at a waysid§ well. The well
was dank and dark and slippery,
and overgrown with tares, and as
Orlando stooped to, Jet his bucket
down a stupid addei thrust its
head from a= crevice in the stone
curbing and hissed at him. He
stepped aside to seize a club, his
feet flew., from beneath l$im, and
he slid down the shaft, taking the
adder along with him. The wa
ters closed over him with-hissing
bubbles and a s ,plaintive plunk. Or
lando wasn’t gone long. He came
up sputtering and iriathful, and
the sight of the adder, which had
betrayed him into the well, gli
ding across the water intp the wall,
did not aid to. appease' • his anger.
He made a]grasp for the serpent,
but he didn’t get him;, and
thoughtfully he climbed out of the
well. He was so direful mad that
he went away without drinking.

The bass violin js.rfche most ex
pensive of all musihal instruments
to its owner,- Its first cost is not
the greatest expense. It is so
large and awkward to. carry
around that it is continually get
ting abjured by accidents which
would hot happen to smaller in
struments. Somebody may stick
a hole in it by ^dancing against it
in a room, - or it may be knocked
against something while carrying
it around. It is most frequently
injured street cars while the musi
cian is carrying it to the place
where he has to play. After a
man has.had an instrument a long
time be comes to look upon it as
actually worth- all the^ .money* that
it has-eost Kim, and in this way a
bass violin is valued at $1,000 or
so. by its owner. A musician who-
sued a railroad company for $5,000-
for a violin lost in an accident, ac
tually got $3,800, -

Bat now ccomes a Chicago Inven
tor who has devised a battery of
round zinc bars ; and round carbon
bars so arranged as to prevent
polarization.
With thjs-battery hg! claims that
he can, by using ninef cells, keep
incandescent burners in a bouse
in full blaze, for from thirty to
sixty days without a renewal. And
he proposes to do : this at a cost
four times less than gas, vastly
cheaper than the present method
by dyn^aaqs. 1 he ziqc bars can
be removed by any unskilled per
son when not in use, thus greatly
prolonging their durability. With
this simple apparatus it is said
light machinery, such as sewing
machines, elebtric fans, etc., can
be run as easily and far more
cheaply, than by the devices now
in use. The ,exceeding cheapness
of the simple mechanism will
bring it within the reach>of almost
every oue, supplanting gas and
lamps, and the dangerous and un
sightly wires.), ir ,
It is asserted by '[.the inventor
tiiat these; batteries or cells, which
cost only $1 each, can be operated
at an espense’of only 20 cents per
month,, .and that, fiye lights, each
of sixteen candle powder, can be
furnished one month for only 3(}
cents.
A dispatch from Chicago says:
“A peculiar, accident occurred Sunr
day afternoon, .in the Libby pris
on. Many persons; were frighten
ed, and much .confusion resulted.
Resting against one of the pillars
were a number of old war mugs,
kets.; . No one was nearer than 5
feet to ’them. Suddenly one of
the muskets was discharged, th&
contents tearing a hole in the ceil
ing above. Tbe report was terrific,
and ^several people werp^ ^greatly
excited over its suddenness. How
the old rinusket was exploded no
one can explain. It had done ser
vice during the late war, and some
soldier had loaded it in readiness
to fire. The .-charge must have
been in tbe musket at .least twen
ty-six years.
The credit system is Rad in
many ways. . It encourages im
providence and extravagance on
the one hand, extortion and usury
on the other... It makesTbeft re
spectful, wrecks friendship and
ruins homes. It should be abol
ished. If every man in business
got his dues from those who were
able to pay,.-lie -’conld afford to
give to those who were not, and
still realize a handsome profit.—
