GAltLINOTON iV co., Proorlolors. TO KD U CATI: OIUMINAXJS, .Some States have decided to es tablish schools in prisons and peni tentiaries, in which to I mt mci pri sons convicted of crime. Il is woll probably, for thoso Staten that havo reformatory Institutions for Juvenal offenders, such ns our constitution contemplates to instruct sue!; offen ders 'ns aro pin cod lhere for correc tion, but tho scheino to convert penitentiaries into school-houses, is absolutely wrong. Asiate pris on is a place of punishment, and we have no spmpathy with that class of philanthropists who insist that criminal- should enjoy royal ease and comfort. Criminals should bo made to work and while they should ofcourso be treated humanely, it is wrong to make a prison a desirable place. Never place a premium on crime. But aside from this, education docs not always promoto morality. Wo believe in education, thc free school system ( which* cbuhlj'and I ought tobe improvod)theStatc uni versity which we wo ubi rejoice to I .'.ec tho pow? r of any in tho world, and us free and open to tho sons of South Carolina as tho air breathe; yet, wo do not believe that educa tion is so powerful in diminishing crime as to justy a school for con victs. indeed il is still an open ques tion if education lessens crime at ail. Illiteracy among whiles persons In Massachusetts ls ''\ percent and she has22 criminals to every 10,000 white inhabitants, In South Caroli na, illiteracy among tho.white is 22?"?per cern and wo have 5A crimi nals to every 10,000 white inhabi tants. We (lo no! believe thai education increases crime, but we do believe thai ii will fail i?> docronso it un less principles ol' morality, truth, virturo and tcmparanco ure instill ed along with ii. lt would bo bet ter U> work on the hearts of crivn nals,rathor than (behead. ; THE COMING ELECTION. Q The management of city affairs, tho (city government, in'Augusta has for tho past few weeks excited comment. Charleston also has crit icised ber administration, and it is certain that it* anything goes wrong, tho publie will have the particulars ! borough i he burcnux'of tho ?Vi ws and Courter and Chronicle g?Tho management of a town, how ever insignificant, isa'; matter of the greatest importance. , Indeed upon, the shoulders of "city farth ers" rests a greater responsibility than some seem to think. No town can prosper who? city taxcs?aro higher than necessary, and public money ls expended extravagantly. No town eau prosper whontho or dinances are openly and notorious ly violated day after day. It mat ters not where tho blame attaches if a law is violated and the offender goes "unwhipped "of justice" it is bettor to repeal the law, Laurons is now?on tko "eve of an election for Mayor and Aldermen, and it bohooves every citizen to look about him for the right men. If you have a kindly feeling for your town, do not allow this mat ter to ?40 by default. See to it thai those W?K iill thCSO positions are sober, honest and upright. See also that they have capacity. Men who have not managed their own affairs properly, soldom maUc tho best guardians of tho public. Oootl fln nncips should be elected.'- vVe want the city funds expended In H man ner that will bring tho greatest feed, Bravery and brute courage ?re excellent qualitios, but it .should bo home in mind that they bolong more to tho policeman than to Iho Mayor.
