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.

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.

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.
