Chicago Intel Ocean.
Recently a company played a small
southern city. The manager was taking
the tickets at the door of me theater, and
the natives were struggling toget in. "Sud
denly." he tells, "a long, thin, bushy chin
ned individual divided the folding doors
with hia shoulder and whispered confi
dentially: '1 stop tie bell.' I asked him
to repeat. ‘I stop the hell.’ hr said again
in a hoarse whisper. ‘You "ill have to
see the opera house manager and tell him
what you stop,' I said, reaching for tickets.
He tripped up several ladies while back
ing out. Soon the manager of the house
lame in, saying: ‘lie's ail right, he stops
the bell.’ I allowed him to go in, and
ifter the people were seated I asked the
oral man what he meant by ‘lie stops the
hell.’ ‘\\>II,’ said he. ‘this man is the
anitor of’the town hall, right opposite,
ind on ‘‘show nights" he doe.- not ring nine

said, ‘it would disturb the performance,'
and so the poor people do not know what

Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy

during tlio lifetime of this wonderful
medicine has the demand for it been
so great as it is to-day.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific,

SOUTHERN
EDUCATION
Ui
EDUCATION AND TAXATION.
The Rolntlvc of flt«* Staten of
the Month to Kilurnte Thetr
1 liiltlron.
The most important. factor in deter
mining ,a state's ability to provide
schools for its children is found in
the relation of taxable property to
1l>c number of children to be edu
cated. If iu one state the amount of
taxable property for eaeb child of
school age is only one-half or one
third the amount for each child in
and her state, then the peapk- of the
iirst state must tax their property
two or three times as much as the
people of the second state, in order
that the child of one stat * may have
ns large a school fund as the child of ;
the other state. The folio .ring fig
ures show the amount of taxable
property for each child of school age
(from 5 to 20 years old) in some of
the southern states and in a few
states in other sections: South Caro
lina, $:!.rt7; Florida, $191; Iowa. $714;
Wisconsin, $1,066; Missouri, $1,983;
Michigan, $1,996; Maryland. $1,597;
New dork, $2,661. Georgia has less
than one-third as much taxable prop
erty per capita of school population
ns Maryland, and the tax rate must,
therefore, he three times ns large, if
the school funds are to be equal. Ten
nessee lias only about one-fourth a.s
much property per capita of school
population as Wisconsin, and must,
therefore, impose a tax rate four
times as large, and so on for other
states of the south as compared with
states of other sections. But this
does not form a valid reason why any
state should not undertake to provide
for ihe fullest, freest and most per
fect education of all its children. Boor
states like poor people may find it
necessary to do without luxuries, but
they may not deny themselves the ne
cessities of life except at the peril of
life. Kdueation is an individual, so
cial and civic necessity. Again, poor
states, like poor men, must invest
their meager capital and litle savings
for the greatest safety and the larg
est dividends. Both may be had by
the state in good public schools right
ly managed and well taught, and
probably nowhere else.
THE WHITE MAN’S BURDEN.
The lililti to Otir Bnrilen ol
I’ubllc Education—ltei«*«n for
Accepting Vi-I.
There are some things which the
south has once for al! decided, which
she has a right to decide. First, there
fore, in dealing1 with the question of
popular education, she has begun by
plaeing tier negro children in one
school house and her white children
in another. The educational burden of
the south is thus a double burden,
for its educational system is a double
system. The cost of it is large. But
it is necessary and must, be borne.
To illustrate from conditions in Ten
nessee: ' In Rutherford county there
arc on an average *4.3 children of
school ng'i to the square mile. f>f
these 13.3 are white and 11.2 col
ored; thus practically making two
counties, both having a very sparse
population. In Madison county
there are on an average 20.3 children
of school age to the square mile, 13.1
white and 13.2 colored. In Fayette
county there are on an average 20 8
children of school age to the square
mile, 5.4 white and 15.4 colored, in
some counties the number of negro
children is so small that the cost of
schooling must be much larger jut
capita than that of the white children.
In Bradley county there arc 2.2 col
ored children of school age to the
square mile; in Cocke county. 1.7; in
Cannon county, .<>; in Claiborne, .3;
in Grundy county, .2; in Fentress
county, .02.
Tlie problem is made still more dif
ficult and the burden still heavier for
the white people of this section be
cause the negroes pay very little
taxes in proportion to the amount of
the school fund they receive. But the
welfare not only of these states but
of the nation as a whole and lienee
of all its people of every section de
pends on the education of the chil
dren of l>oth races in this section.
This is the sufficient reason for our
receiving w illingly the aid offered, for
the same reason, by people of other
sections.
Vo niitci-i I nut ion.
“The recognition of the right, to i
withhold front the negro his just and
needed part of the public school fund
because he fails to pay his part of the
public school tax would strike at the
very foundation of the public school
system. By tlie same reasoning, why
should not the taxes of the rich, be
cause they pay more taxes, be used j
for tlie education of the rich only, j
and the taxes of the poor be used
for the education of the chil
dren of tlie poor only? The
weaker and more helpless the race, ;
the louder the call to the strong to
help.”- Hon. ,1. V. Joyner.
A I au«lal»lc \iubltion.
1 want to live to see the day when
every hoy and girl in Tennessee,
whether living in country or city,
whether the child of poverty ami toil,
or the child of wealth and luxury,
shall doubtless learn something for j
of attending, a well-taught school for j
at least nine months in every year. |
And when this is done you will seo
your penitentiary problem simplified,
your criminal cost hills grow infinite
5y less, and the productive energy
and wealth of this great state many
times multiplied.—Gov. James U.
Frasier, of Tennessee.
l'.dnvatlDii a Thins;.
Ail over the face of nature and of
the universe it has been written in no
unmistakable language that education
of the right sort is a good thing for
the plants of the field, for the beasts
of the forest, for all created things.
It needs must be a good thing, then,
for man, God’s highest creation, fash
ioned in His own image, endowed
with His own faculties, with infinite
capacity for good or evil. This un
alterable law of God can not ^be
changed by the color of a man’s ^kin
or by racial differences (I differences

FAMOUS DEAD OF 1902. *

In ucattntng the list, of aloud for
the year 1!>02 then- are not many
names that stand out disiiuct and
monumental, says Harper's Weekly.
Of such, in the light of the present,
are these: Ceeil Hhodes, Hudolf
Virchow, Zola, Thomas B. Heed and
Samuel liawson Gardiner. Khodes.
whatever liis methods may have
been, ethically appraised, was a
statesman with an imagination and
au empire-builder; Virchow was a
benefactor of his race, vastly pro
longing man's life and happiness by
his scientific discoveries; Zola, both
as a story-teller and a citizen of
France, revealed a passion for truth
which was great compared with that
of most of his French contempora
ries; Heed had an intellectual and
ethical equipment comparable to his
physical superiority over most men
of his time, and he lived long enough
to know that his place was secure
in the list of great parliamentarians;
and Gardiner was, in the opinion of
some, the greatest of historians next
to Gibbon and Thucydides, If the
boys of the Knglish-reading world
were to vote as to the death of the
year causing the most irreparable
loss, it is not certain whether their
verdict would not fall on G. \. Ilen
ty's name. Of tnen who had lived
so long as to be forgotten, and yet
who once were famous as poets, we
gave one to the list—Thomas Dunn
English—and Great Britain the other
-—Phillip James Bailey. Of men of
letters prematurely taken off we
mourn Frank Norris; the Scotch,
Georg*1 Douglass Brown the for
mer's “The Octopus," and the lat
ter's "The House with the Green
Shutters,” marking them as men po
tentially great. Of editors, the bril
liant and mordant Godkin, of the
Nation, and the sane and oonserva
tive Scudder, of the Atlantic, have
read their last proof and penned
their last exhortation. Two of Great
Britain’s most loyal and serviceable
diplomats- tbe marquis of Dufferin
and Lord Fauncefote—have been pro
moted to heavenly courts. Our naval
list is lunch less rich in valor, intel
lectuality. and a lofty sense of duty
by the premature death of Admiral
Sampson. The world of art misses
the living presence of P>. Constant.
J. (J. Vibort, Tissot and Mesdng. and
the Christian church mourns prelates
and preachers as notable as Cardinal
Ledoeliowski, Archbishops Corrigan,
Feehan and Croko. Bishop William
Taylor and Drs. Taknage, Newman
Hall and Joseph Parker, and Itev.
Hugh Price Hughes, while American
Jewry mourns Chief Itnbbi Joseph
Jacob, a leader among its people.
The French Society of Musical
Composers is reported to have de
