It demands integrity, lutelli* geuoe, patriotism, an acquaintance with Jaw, politics, political economy and finance and a knowledge not of the demands but of the needs of the people.

The white people, the race wronged and outraged, is iu power and as they are the judges, jurors and sheriffs, there is not the slightest possibility of the escape of the prisoner. . A mob is a sudden revolution. It does not reason, lias no conscience and its violence is unrestrained whether it burns down mi Ursuline convent in Massachusetts or tortures a negro ruffian in Texas. A mob of civilized hut infuriuteu men, or of hungry, euragCd women, would vio late all law, human and divine. A mob saps the formation of society, uproots all government and regards not God nor man.

THE PLACE OF .EDUCATION. Tills machinery of wealth creating industry demands educated intelli gence. Of paramount importance to tiie state is education—universal ed ucation. Here is h scope for tlie highest statesmanship. Education is the basis of civilization aud tiie one vital condition of prosperity. William Evart Gladstone is the greatest statesman tiie wbrld has produced in this generation. Ho is not only a statesman, but he is a scholar, a writer, an artist and a critic of matchless ability. He has shown his appreciation of education ny giving the commissioners of schoois a position iu the premier’s cabinet. Recently he said, “The de partment that deals with education is the most important iu domestic administration.” One of tlie motl important and profound changes in the ends of modern education is the incorpora tion in the curriculum of manual S training. It brings education into j contact with every day pursuits and I our most important interests. 1,1 tl u? P. ast the tl| re« R’s have been 1 tlie oabiliatic dogma and tiie univer sal rule. To them let us add the r*p! ree J? s band, head and lieurt. I ne ordiuary graduate with his arm lull of diplomas is u sad spectacle. He lias beeu educated away from the practical duties of life—educated to j be a ck'rk or a professional man— . educated to l>e a lawyer, a doctor or u preacher. If without special liter ary taste he is liable to become idle or dissipated. If lie had been taught I tlie use of tools aud their application he might have gone creditably through the world Cur greatest thinkers testify to the value of man ual training in the development of the intellect*. In the public school of Philadelphia the use of tools is taught as part of the course and young men are graduated who need not tramp the city in search of a job as a clerk, but are equipped aiul ready for a useful place iu the great field of life. France and England have both learned the lesson that to hold their places ia the great marts of the world it was necessary to give their young men manual training—techni cal education, industiiul instruction, England discovered that her trade was slipping away and tliat is the means she took of retaining it. France instructs both sexes and as a result manufactures articles of taste and ornament for the entire world. America is far behind Europe in this respect. Russia lias 1,200 tech nological schools, Belgium 25,000 pus pits in similar institutions, Denmurk ovr-r 6.000, Italy 16,000—Georgia no trude school, but thank God one technological school that deserves the warmest encouragement and support. SKILLED LABOR. f was at Newport News the other day and visited there the ship yard and the largest dry docks in the world. At the close of the dav I saw a vast army of laborers leaving work and my friend who was acting as my chaperone remarked that, many of them received as much as $10 a day lor their labor. “Are any Bout hern men or ex-confederates among these well paid workmen?” I inquired. “No,” said my friend, “tney are ■northern men and foreigners who have become highly skilled mechan ics in the great schools in the north and abroad. The;poor ex*confeder ate was receiving Ids dollar a day, the same us a negro.” What a lesson! What a lesson! NORMAL SCHOOLS. Blit we must begin at tlie begin ning and lhe teacher, must be pre pared for his work. The training of teachers is an urgent need. In the normal the students learns to teach, to communicate his knowledge in the manner best adapted *to mental development. A year’s tech* nical training is of inestimable value to ilie teacher and enables him to accomplish more than would be pos sible without It. It’s importance is not to be underestimated. Teaching those who are to teach involves a history of education, of educational methods and of tlie pract'cal appli* cation of education. The true prin ciples of leaching are founded on the laws of tlie mind and child nature, and are hence educational psychoL ogy. The processes of growtli from the concrete to tlie abstract, the spe cific io the general, tlie known to the unknown, the thought, to the clear expression—these should uot be dead rules but should enter thor oughly into ttie teacher’s work, aud be upplied habitually ami uncoil sciously to every act of toaching. Georgia has one normal school—at Mihedgeville. I was recently there and would advise every member of this house to visit it as a solemn duty. If, Is a great and wonderful success. It is the salvation of the children. Oh! the criminal waste of years! The years lost pouring over lessons without method, without system, no plan, no inspiration! Yon ought to give this normal school every aid and encouragement, and one of the first tilings you should do is to provide for co-education. Why not educate the young men as well as the young omen?

In my boyhood days I have ridden over the site of Shis beautiful city when the old Whitehall taveru was the only build* ing here. I remember when it, took me (lye days to ride from my home in Louisiana to school at Atlieus, Ga. Now I make the trip in six hours. Everything lias changed aud scieuce lias brought the ends of the earth into neighborhood. But still educa tion is tlie dominant factor of civili* zation, and tlie forces of nature are harnessed as servitors to man only through the operation of tlie devel oped intellect. In conclusion the speaker made n powerful and eloquent appeal to the patriot.sm of his Hearers, and urged them to spare nothing in tlie devel opment ol the rising generation. He payed a splendid tribute to Governor Northen as the great school governor of the south, and finally closed amidst a burst of warm and hearty applause. TO BUILD TO COVINGTON. The S/aboard Company Prov.des for tiie Middle Georgia Road. A meeting of the stockholders of the Seaboard Company was held yes: terday at lhe company's offices, No. 137 Bay street. The meeting was uot largely attended, most of the stock held by non-residents being repre* sented hy proxy. Mr. J. E. Soule, of Philadelphia, was present, representing about $00,- 000 of stock held by the Spring Gur den Insurance Company, of Philadel phia, and other corporations and in* dividual* of that city. President WilliauiP made a state ment of tlie operation of the Middle Georgia and Atlantic road, wnich,he said, had been very satisfactory. He recommended tlie immediate comple tion of the road to Covington and, by resolution, the directors were au thorized to proceed with the work. There are only seven miles of track to he laid to reach Covington. Near ly the entire distance is already grad ed. Mr. Williams expects to have rtie work complected by Dec. 15, and he expects to be running trains from Milledgevilla to Covington before Jan. 1. Tlie Middle Georgia and Atlantic will then be in operation for sixty six miles of railroad, including the Milledgeville and Eatonton road which was recently leased. Tlie line is through the best section of the state, the country being well devel oped. Large amounts of cotton us well as other products are raistd in that section. The road will then tap the three large and prosperous towns, Covington, Eatonton, Milledgeville, besides Shadydale and Macnen.which are also good sjzed towns. The principal object f u- which the meeting was called was to provide for the syndicate loan nf $160,000, which matures Deo. 20. The direc* tors were authorized to make such arrangements as they thought best to meet tlie loan. Thev will proha* bly arrange to continue the loan. Another imp irtant question which was considered was tne position of the company In the matter of the proposed contract with the city to obtain a portion of the Hutchinson island for a terminal site. Tiie terms which tlie city appears disposed to offer are known to be unsatisfactory to the company. Toe matter was left to the board of <li* rectors. President Williams declined to ex* press an opinion last night as to what position he thought tlie direc tor. would adopt, upon tiie question, ile said the matter would probably be brought up at the next session of council Tlie ordinance introduced some time ago. giving the Seaboard Com pany the eastern half* of the island upon certain conditions, is still un acted upon, and its consideration will probably be asked by council at its . xt meeting —Savannah Morn ing News.
