What most of them seem to be in quest of is an angel wit h a very large pair of wings. If we are to accept their requirements as absolutely essential, the only good husband is the dead husband, just as the only good Indian is tho dead In dian. Hut. then, one of them insists strongly that the good husband should be a man as well as an angel. Heally. ladies, this is a little too much: If the coining woman should raise iho standard of husbands as high as all this, it is to be feared that most men would have to remain unmar ried. The tender feminine heart, we are sure, wonid not permit the ladies to inlliet so liiiieh snlVei-'mg even upon so unworthy a creature as man. and we believe thai in time they would relent, and abandoning the attain ment of the impossible, accept with svveet and heavenly resignation hus bands who are only ""fair to mid dling" as the live stock reports put It in their quotations of the pork market.

How far is this thino- to o;.i? it stands now at 3.tMii teachers and a million and a quarter dollars annually. Tho few who are very rich and the1 many who are very poor can stand it perhaps, but how- about the common people who are I worth from $1,000 to $3,000 in prop-1 erty and who are the bono and sinew ! of the State? Can thoy bear addi tional burdens of taxation to educate other people's children? "Where is paternalism to stop? If tho princi ple is rio-ht, why not run it to the end on that line? Why not jivo a high school education and a collegi ate finish to every boy and girl in the land and tax tho people to pay for it? While we are seizing rail roads let us seize the colleges, too. and run them. AVh- not make the system universal and complete and build a college in every town?

Pa., Saturday, between Wil so the system worked its way down South and it looks like it is not only a fixture, but must be enlarged. New England would take the back track now if it could, for it has been i demonstrated that public school ed- j ueation does not make good citizens, but. on the contrary, increases crime; '"not just a little, but im mensely." says Mr. Stetson, the statistician of Massachusetts. That State has now live times as many white criminals as Heorgia in pro portion to population, and another Dr. Paridiurst is now m Loston ex-' posing its municipal corruption. The old-fashioned school, where the teacher was directly responsible to the 'patrons, has novel" been ex celled and the private schools in ev ery town and city is a proof that the people are not satisfied. Hut how are the poor children to be educated? In the same good old way. Wo nev er knew one to be turned oft' for pov- erty. but it left a debt behind and it gentle remonstrance of the old-fash-ought to. The doctor does not re-; ioned few will not avail against the fuse to attend the poor, but he keeps ; tidal wave of the many on the sub books and charges it up and they ! j.-ct of education. Encroachments pay when they can. Tho obligation ;,,tl human rights never go backwards is upon them. Paternalism has run ; and laws that grant pensions and mad in this country and it is the plunder and privileges are rarely re foundation of indolence and commun- j ism and anarchy.

And it was worse than that. , for nearly half of it was carrried off to other counties and spent. Well, it is an outrage upon human rights. Our school tax in this coun ty is 27.000 and 10,0011 of it is transferred elsewhere.

Tho onlv excuse offered is that it makes good citizens. Hut the records don't prove it. The penitentiary reports disprove it. (Jo to New York and New England and Illinois and see. Mr. Stetson says that i0 per cent, of their convicts have a high school ed ucation, ami i-per cent, are gradu- ates of a college, and only 4 percent, of the whole number are unable to read and write. What is to become of our college boys, anyhow? What are they going to do? We see that some of them went back to Athens last commencement and got on a tare and tried to bulldoze the chan cellor into taking a drink. Well, of ! ",nr.se, they are not a sample of the graduates, but what are the well-behaved boys going to do? Tho teach ers' occupation is about full, unless, indeed, we are to have more educa tional facilities. Law and medicine 1 are full and loafing is running over. What then? Shall we not send our j ys io college: .v.. as a, mane, ut i course. More than half who have ! , lin);t f... ft, ......... 1n . . risk the experiment. If eight years 0f school life, from eight to sixteen, and four years of colli sixteen to twenty, does go life, from not un tit a boy for work, then he is an extraor dinary youth, and deserved a college education. The trouble is that pa rents are loving and hopeful and am bitious for their boys to make their mark in the world, but I can prove by live parents out of six who have boys in college that there was but one of the six who was fitton to ni. Of course, I am not alluding to busi ness colleges nor tho technological nor industrial schools, for they mean business at the start. Hut if my )0y llu a t;tness and inclination for a profession, such as law or medicine or chemistry or journalism, I would give him a first-class collegiate edu cation otherwise I would put him to work. Hut the present disposition is to degrade manual labor if possible. The dignity of labor is the poet's dream. There is not much dignity in digging a ditch or pulling fodder or scalding a hog or cleaning out a stable but somebody has it to do. Some folks have to cook and some to wash and some to drive Hie drays. Some folks are born to honor and some to dishonor, and there is no use in fretting about it. To labor in some way is the common lot, and it is the law, both human and divine. All of us would like to have choice of work, but we can't. There is a col ored teacher on trial here now for telling his pupils that they ought to rise above doing menial work for the white folks and that it was high time the colored race should quit cooking and washing and waiting on them. That is the accusation, and it comes i ii i-u m ui ! . I lii l w is ninni l vii noi km.w cupa- Hons for the w hite folks? Suppose the negro men get on a high horse and swear they will not drive drays any more nor work in livery stables j nearly every road leading into Chi or hotels or shine shoes or chop wood cago. The strikers, on Saturday, for the white folks, what would bo- ! conie of the town negro? What would become of Aunt Ann if she didn't cook for me and get her i2 ev ery Saturday while 1 am taxed to ed ucate her children? It is all well enough to rise higher if they can, but they can't and it is bad education to excite false hopes. We have been educating tlios negroes for twenty- live years and they will still spend their last cent on a circus or an ex cursion or a funeral o:- for a water melon. They still live for to-day re gardless of to-morrow. There are some exceptions, but improvidence is the rule and neither caching nor preaching has changed their race traits. Hut what is all this worth. The pealed. Then there is the truckling : fear of what our Northern friends, the enemy, would say were we to stop spending public money on the negro. What benefit have we ever secured from paying obeisance to iatin-r to see our rovernor stoon to answer their accusations. Hettersay. in the words of Col. Dates, "What are you going to do abotil it?"

Siiecial CorreixndL'nce. New York, July 2, 1SD4. There has !oen an improvement in business sentiment during the past week, even if there has not been any general or imjxtrtant enlargement of the volume of trade. Tho action of the banks in refunding to the Treas ury the gold exports of last week and the timely utterances of Presi dent Cleveland with regard to the fi nancial situation have relieved ap prehension about the monetary out look. Foreign confidence in the de termination and ability of the Gov ernment to maintain the public cred it has been strengthened by the President's statement; and there was some renewal of European in vestment in the share markets early in tho week. The gold outflow has been comparatively small the last week, and there is reason to antici pate an early cessation of shipments of the yellow metal. The currency movement, which has loen so long in the direction of Xew York, is likely to be reversed now that the harvest season has begun. Witii a larger demand for money to move the crops, a rising tide of produce exports which may shortly bo expected, and a more active em ployment of capital in business ex tension w hich is now only awaiting a definite settlement of the tariff ques tion, gold is more likely to flow back from Europe than to bo attracted in that direction. Tho railroad strike in the West has become an element of serious business disturbance; but the very nature of the struggle and the vast importance to tho public of an uninterrupted continuance of rail -way traflic encourage the hope and belief that this new labor complica tion will be speedily adjusted. Industrial output has increased as a result of the resumption of work in the bituminous coal regions. Crop prospects have improved and tho wheat harvest is no w actively under way. Business has been restricted to small lots, owing to the future of prices. According to K. (. Hun V Co., the failures in the United States and Canada during the week aggre gated 24!), against '.Z'A for the corre sponding period of last year. In June the failures have boon about !C0, and in tho half year about 7,100. Tho aggregate of commercial liabili ties only, with part of June lacking, has boon i:LlS-'i,4i.", against $1:5, ."iir.7i;o in May, $S,Slf..802 in April and $D!. 4l$.'it;i; in the half year Cotton prices have declined 1 -It! of a cent per pound, owing to ample stocks, exceptionally favorable crop prospects and a hesitating specula tion. Exports have increased a lit tle, but are still light. There has boon a fair demand from spinners, whose purchases during the month have been nearly three times as large as thoy were last June, when most mills had reserve stocks to draw up on. Jobbers have been closing out open stocks of cotton fabrics prepar atory to the semi-annual inventories; but business at first hands has con tinued very quiet, and in some in stances buyers have loen able to se cure further concessions in prices. Prices of wheat have declined 1 J to 1 i cents per bushel, as a result of speculative liquidation and some re newal of bearish pressure. Foreign weather advices have been more fav orable and European markets have declined. Koiorts concerning the winter wheat harvest have continued very encouraging and new wheat has legun to arrive in Southwestern markets. Some uneasiness is still felt with regard to the crop situa tion in the Northwest; but its effect upon the markets has Wen modified by the recollection of favorable changes after this date in previous years. The general tenor of crop advices has discouraged bullish spec ulation in the markets. Exports are light, but there is promise of an en largement of the outward movement during the present month. Chicago corn prices have been fairly maintained, but Eastern mar kets have declined 1 cents per bush el. Export demand for this cereal is very moderate, and freer speculative selling has been encouraged by the splendid promise of the growingcrop. Recent rains in the West have im proved the outlook for oats and prices or next crop options nave re ceded 2 to 2i cents per bushel, while extensive liquidation by speculative holders has caused a decline in old crop deliveries of 2 to 5 cents jkt bushel. There is a fair home trade demand for provisions, and exerts continue to exceed those of the cor respontljng period last year. Values are a shade lower. The movement of hogs to packing centres has de creased, and prices of hogs have ad vanced 13 cents per 100 pounds. "With step an noiself-Ks as the summer air Who come, in beautiful decay?
