poses. Suiitlipni journals cried out
loudly that the South should not ac
cept her part because it was contrary
to the doctrine of States' rights! Hut
these sane journals were willin to go
on calmly in the discussion of out

lha cry ot the present is on a par
with that.
From the clipping r opied above il
will be teen that this matter ia as
much a Southern movement as a North
em one, and what Northern aid conies
wilt come under Southern direction
and in conjunction with local self help.
The effort, so far as giving is con

schools what the Peabody fund bai all
these years done for the city and town
schools, with never a kick I Another
cry has been mide in regard to the
education of the negro. This move
ment stands towards the negro in the
exact position that Mr. Grover Cleve

speech week before last, and which
has been to highly praised by tome of

with an unfriendly eye towards this

Dr. Charles D. Mclver, one of the
of jurisdiction and the merits of
the case at bar were sn iiiterwnven
that it liecaiiii necessary for llie

impossible in a suit like this, that
the relief sought should lie granted.
It would be an extraordinary and
unheard of extension of political
relief.
