FREE TUT ION AND THE SO. C A.'
COLLEGE.
Criticisms and Unanswered Objeef inns.
(R. W. Edwards, in Rnptiid Courier.)
It is asserted that there is no
reason why the State should not
give free tuition in her college
which will not hold equally against
her eiving “tree education” in her
public schools; and that the intiu-
ence npoti character is no more det
rimental in the one case than in
the other. This is an assumption
of the.questions at issue ; but if it
is insisted that the opponents of
free tnition must show the distinc
tion, it may be, answered, first, that
one falls within the principle of
free education and the other does
not And this involves the dis
cussion of the entire question of
State education. The State has
no right to nsurp the domestic
headship of the family, or to be
come the propagator of universal
ethics On what principle, then,
does she educate at all ? It is on
the ground of reciprocal civic rela
tions. The State educates her
yonth sufficiently to raise them
above the viciousness of ignorance,
and to fit them for the intelligent
exercise of the rights and duties of
citizenship If it is the duty of the
State to give education, it is the
duty of the citizen to receive it.
This is Inlly recognized in the
school systems of Enropeand Amer
ica. Our constitution adopts this
principle, and the fundamental law
of the State now is that every one
to whom free education is onered
shall be required to receive it—
that, so soon as “free education” is
provided for, every child within
the age prescribed nhall attend the
public school, unless he or she is
going to some otiier school. The
University is no part of the public
school system in this State, and
there is no requirement that the
youth of the State shall accept the
education offered in the college.
And, clearly, the college cannot be
brought within this principle, be
cause the State cannot make the
higher education irce to all her
youth, and because all could not re
ceive it if offered in Columbia. It
would be intolerable tyranny for
the State to require ail her youth
to accept the college education
w hich Is ( ffeied ; and this exposes
the fallacy ol the classification.
Eut why or how is it tiiat free
tuition will enervate and injure
character mote than tree education?
First, because it is the duty of tlo
State to provide free primary edu
cation, and tne duty of the child
(through the parent) to receive it
and it is not her duty to provide
the higher education freed charge,
nor the duty of the youth to receive
it. And it never can injure one to
discharge a duty and never can fail
to injure one to receive a public gra
tuity wit In ut the sanction of a re
ciprocal obligation. Second, be
cause the voluntary principle is in
exercise in the one case, and not in
the other. The child may receive
aid involuntarily, with the sanction
of tlie parent, without the slightest
injury to character. In fact, it is
the period when the best traits of
character must he imposed. Hut
when one reaches tiie voluntary age,
or comes to the period when volition
is even partially exercised, the ac
ceptance of a public bounty, which,
without reciprocal service, is wrong
on principle, may at least stiile those
better traits ot manhood that pro
pel the whole n oral organism. It
Is as much an interference with the
exercise ot vital activities to offer
and administer anodynes as it is to
shackle and fetter the limbs, and is
more enervating to the will and
destructive to morals. Third, be
cause the free education provided
by the State is at a period when the
pupil is under the care and train
ing of the parent and the benign in
fluences ot home ; and free tuition
is offered to youth outside the pale
of these influences. And the pol
icy of free tuition uiges the accep
tance of the offer at the very period
when these iutlueiioes are most
needed. It did the great Jewish
law giver no harm to be called the
sou of Pharaoh’s daughter w'hilo his
own mother was the nurse; but,
when he came to the years of dis
cretion, if he had chosen the sncces-
sion and the crown, instead of fol
lowing the flocks of Jethro in the
rough pastures of Midian, be had
never become the great leader of all
time.
Now, there is a period when the
State must cease to meddle with
the domestic affairs and the ethics
ol the people. Where is the line?
The right and duty do not extend
beyond the reciprocal obligation ;
but to offer au unconditional boun
ty to those who are in the voluntary
period transcends the limits, and
offers a premium to the suckers of
State pap. But it is asserted that
free tuition in the State College
cannot prove more injurious than
free tuition in other ct llegi'S; and
sion turns upon the propriety of a
State’s providing free tuition in her
college. The State, which by its
eonstitUMon can establish no relig
ion and favor no denomination, has
no right to establish a theological
seminary or denominational college.
Individuals can establish either or
both. If free education is volun
tarily provided by lovers of Chris
tianity for those who expressly
engage to devote themselves to its
propagation, this liears no analogy
to the blind provision by tie* State
for indiscriminate bounties. Second,
beneficiary education is provided
in such institutions from the free
will offerings, by individuals, of
tbeir own means. The State makes
the provision from the trust funds
of the citizens, which are taken
from him and appropriated whether
he will or not. Conceding the right
of the State to do this, and its jus
tice too if you choose, the enforced
contribution hardens the unwilling
almoner, while the free-will offering
enlarges the philanthropy of the
donator. And the recipient of the
State benefaction accepts it as a
right, and is only prompted to look
to the Sta'e for help in time ot need,
or a good oflice in time of want;
while the recipient of the generous
benefaction is aroused to the very
best responses of bis nature/ Tbe
conditions under which one receives
a benefit determines whether it
shall make him or ruin him. Third,
beneficiary education is not offered
in the denominational colleges to
those who do not need it, nor is it
indiscriminately provided for all
without respect to worth, as it is in
the State College, but it is bestow
ed upon those who are selected for
worth as well as need. It is a
moral wrong to give to the unde
serving. It hurts the giver, it
hurts the recipient, it hurts socie
ty.
tbe deuomiiiational colleges are
charged with inconsistency, and
challenged to give tbe distinction.
Fiist, then, a theological seminary
or denominational college is not
the State, and bears no such rela
tion to the pupil as the State does
to her citizens. Tbe wbolB discus-

A Temperance Bar-room.
A writer in tbe Atlanta Consti
tution tells of a temperance bar
room in Boston that is a great suc
cess in every way. It is on Wash
ington street, a ml advertises in big
letters: “Temperance Drinks.” Mr.
Eaton, who* started this establish
ment three years ago, says that he
lost several thousand dollars the
first six months of his experiment.
But he is willing and able to wait,
lie let his saloon advertise itself by
its refreshing drinks and attractive
furnishing. No prettier bar-room
can be found in Boston. Behind
the marble counter stand six young
men in whitecoats and caps. Each
man wears a flower in Ids button
hole anil a pleasant look on his lad*
ol being in a business which mak
eth not ashamed. Over the conn
ter is a long list of the beverages on
sale. Be ides ice cold soda in all
its agreeable compounds, there are
lactarls, egg phosphates, acid pbos
pbates, Moxie’s nerve food, hot beef
tea, chicken tea, and other refresh
ing and invigorating fluids, ad ot
the kind that cheers without iuebri
ating In the rear of the saloon
there is a lunch counter where the
very best chicken and ham sand,
wiclies, pies, rolls and delicious
coffee may he had at moderate
rates. On any day at lunch time
tbe room will he found crowded,
men waiting their tin n to take their
lunch Tne custom al this counter
is only limited by the room. Mean
time at the drink counter there is
no intermission in the. stream o!
customers. Durirg the hoar spent
there talking w*ith the proprietor
there were more applicants than
could be immediately attended by
the large'and active force of attend
ants Mr. Baton said they had con
sumed a hundred dozen eggs in one
day during the hot season tor egg
phosphates alone. That means that
1,200 people took a glass of this one
fascinating drink on that day
What the sales of the drinks were
he did not say ; but be does say
that the profits of the trade are, iu
his opinion, larger as well as clean
er. than are made in the bar-rooms
of tbe o)d kind, lie has refuse*
offers to go elsewhere and repeat
his establishment in other large
cities. Tbe success he has made
in Bostou is due to tbe persona
care he gives to each detail of tbe
business. Only the very nicest ma
terial is used in the preparation of
his refreshments. The eggs are
furnished by one collector, who is
paid nearly doable tbe market price
to warrant their freshness
So particular is tbe proprietor
that be gave up the use of grape
milk, a profitable and popular un-
fermeuied drink, because be found
it contained li per cent, of alcohol.
There is no fuss ot philanthropy
about bis bar-room; no pretence
that it is carried on for other pur-
poees than to make money. And
the interesting and encouraging
feature about it is just here—it real
ly pays better than a liquor saloon
of its size would pay. What the
gains are to the people who accept
it, in place of the old tap, no one
can tell Bat Mr Baton would be
less than human if those gains did
not add something to the satisfac
tion which be gets from tbe others.
Only he does not wish bis business
advertised for what it is not it is
business strictly with him, not char
ity-
Never Get into Debt.
Not many years ago a yonng man
came in town to finish his studies at
the officeofoneof our best lawyers.
He was well educated, intelligent,
agreeable and kind; but he was
poor, and m order to support him
self tried to get a class in French.
A few scholars came, and the thing
did not pay. After awhile he paid
his land lady, left his boarding
house, and took to the woods On
the side of a hilt, iu a thick pine
grove, he pitched his tent, where he
cooked his food, ate, slept, and
stndied. Of course his strange con
duct made a great deal ol talk.
One morning, after a terrible thnn
tier storm during the night, his
friends hunted him up
“You’ll Ik? sick of your bargain af
ter this,” they said, “and be glad
enough to have a waterproof over
your head.”
“I did not take the woods from
choice,” answered the young man
“1 coaid not see my way dear to
pay for lodgings, and I am resolved
never to be in debt I know too
well the danger of being in debt—
mj scanty income will carry me
through the summer, when I hope
better times are coming”
Gentlemen offered to aid him, but.
he sturdily refused their offers, got
through his studies, and has now a
large business, which handsomely
supports him.
Was not that pluck? And did
ic not well think that the danger
of being iu debt is a serious danger ?
wisli more people thought so.
Getting loose in money matters is
often the beginning of ruin. When
a boy or a young man fills into the
Tabit of borrowing money, spend
ing freely, having this charged,
neglecting to pay, dodging his
creditors, promising to pay and not
keeping ids promise, lie is in n bad
way. He forgets, lies, loses his
self-respect, and is slowly but surely
etting himself down, down, down.
The history of many a man shows
how far down it may be even to
robbery and murder. Two of the
worst murders ever committed iu
Bostou were done bv respectable
men to hide their debts.—One kill
ed his intimate friend because he
could not pay a debt e hicb he was
owing him. The other, a young
man, shot in cold blood in broad
day a young associate, that be
might roll tbe bank lie was in of a
few thousands to pay his debts witli.
Both did their work cooly, and ap
parently without any twinges of
conscience.
Both were abov* nil suspicion —
They had borne a character fair to
the world; but there was a weak
spot, a screw loose, a canker at the
core. They were loose in their
money matters. Debts were dog
ging at their heels. They had lost
their uprightness; ami having lost
that, the devil can tempt a soul to
anything.—CkikPs Pa per,
Pain is Mental.
The Scientific American thinks
ti at the agitation in regard to the
cruelties practised on animals has
been rather overdone through ig-
norauee ot the nature of pain, which
it insists, depends essentially upon
the mind, ami not upon the nerves.
All animals of lower grade than
human suffer very much less pain
from physical injuries than our sen
sations convey to us. We can read
ily see the proof of this iu their
habitual actions. Many of the star
fishes detach parts of their arms at
the very smallest provocation, and
remain uninjured by tbe change or
loss. A fish that has torn away
the hook from a line in its strug
gling to escape will take the bait
again as soon as its Irigbtdias pass
ed off, ami while the hook stil! re
mains in the jaw which it lias per
forated. A fawn whose foreleg was
wounded by a shot bad it amputa
ted without an aesthetic, and gave
scarcely a sigh ol pain. Coming
still higher, we recognize the (act,
which is perfectly well known, th it
sivages of the human race pay
small attention to injuries Again,
every surgeon sees convincing proof
in his daily experience that the sen
sitiveness of his various patients
varies so widely that there must be
some cause for it beyond that which
is physical. There is no such wide
diversity in the nerve tissue of
their systems as can account for the
extreme differences with which
they not only manifest pain, but
with which they doubtless feel it.
The conclusion is that, though tbe
transmission of pain is de|>endent
on nerve fibres only, its seat and
origin are beyond, and are truly
not physical at all. Pain is mental
Intoxicants at the t'oniinnnion Table.
It is gratifying to note the in
creasing thoughtfulness ami care
of pastors, officers and members of
jinirches concerning tbe use ot alco
holic intoxicating wine as a com
munion symbol. Canon Wilberforee
is reported as saying that he “bad
known terribly real and undoubted
instate es iu which men, by partak
ing of wine from the sacramental
cup, had been started on their
downward course to a dishonored
grave.” He added that “if it came
to be a question whether the wine
or the Christian should he banish
ed from the table of the Lord, he
could not hesitate for a moment as
to which should go. From the sac
ramental table over which he had
more immediate control iutoxicat-
ug wine had now long been banish
ed, and in this he believed they
were carrying out the true spirit
and meaning of the sacrament.”
It is quite time for all churches of
every denomination to banish the
intoxicating wine-cup from the com
munion table, as from tbe tables
and sideboards of their individual
members.
Twenty-five Years Silence.
One of the queer cases of domes
tic infelicity which will soon be
tried on a divorce libel in the court
of this country is the outgrow lb of a
difficult^ which arose on an even
ing twenty five years ago between a
husband and wife, then of a middle
age During all of these wearisome
years the husband ami wife have
lived together, but have not spok
en. Communication was bv inter
pretation—never direct. No tete
atetes.no confidences, no discus
sion of things of mutual interest to
husband and wife no plans tor the
future, no common thought for (he
welfare of their children. This farce
was kepi, up until about a month
ago. If ever a man or woman for
gets anything it is when the house
hold is enjoying its spring moving,
It was so in tins case. The wife
spoke to her husband on this occa
sion for the first time in 25 years.
She said:'“Where’s the nails?”
He looked at her and said nothing.
The conversation, it is reported, has
never progressed beyond this point.
We will bet a nickel that after it
happened the woman wonld rather
have bitten her tongue off than
have broken the eloquent silence of
a quarter ot a century with that
momentous, soul-thrilling sentence
“Where’s the nails?” It is said
that now that the nails, instead of
closing the breach, have only wid
ened it, the nubappy pair are to
seek bliss apart, through tbe me
dium of the court*. We can almost
imagine the weRrsome sigh of a
hundred husbands for just about a
week of evenings of that man’s mar
ried life ‘ Some folks,” says Smith
and Jones, “don’t know when tbey
are well off.”

A Royal Printer.
It is not generally known that
Prince Ludwig, of Battenberg, son
of Prince Alexander of Hesse, is a
practical printer. Like most of tbe
Piinces of the Prussian royal house
who have been taught either an art
or a trade, Prince Ludwig of Batten-
berg was early called upon to
choose a calling, and bis choice fell
upon the nrtot Guttenberg. In tbe
palace of his father the Prince has
a printing office comp'etely fitted
up for ordinary printing and book
work. Prince Ludwig prides him
self on his ability to compete with
compositors and printers who fol
low typography for a livelihood.
What is still more interesting, is
that the Piincess, the eldest daugh
ter of the Grand Duke of Hesse,
is a printer, too, and that the high
born pair work regularly together
at the case. The latest work which
lias come from Prince Ludwig of
Bat ten berg’s press is a volume of
notes on travels written by the
Prince’s sister, the Countess of Er-
bach Scbonberg. The book is said
to be executed in a thoroughly
printer like way.
Julie Early's Nigger Joe.
One of tbe best known characters
in Lynchburg, Va M is “Jube Early’s
nigger Joe.” Joe is an old negro,
with all the dignity ot a hod/
rervant of the slavery days, and
his affection for tbe General
amounts to worship. Jnbe owned
Joe before the war, and owns him
still; Joe never having been treed,
scorning to accept what be says
does not belong t> him, and say
ing as long as Mass Julm wse stive
Joe is his slave. Karly is very fond
of his slave, and would shoot quick
er in defence of the negro tbsn snj-
body else He has given Joe caft*
blanche to buy what he likes In tiie
town, and has instructed store
keepers, no matter what Joe waate»
or how much it will cost, to
it to him and send tbe bill to bis
master. Sometimes Barly gets
rather the «ors* for whiskey, and
then a comicsl sight is seen. Joe
follows him like a dog, and when
the General gets very drank Joe
will sav:
“Mass Jube, you mas’ come
home.”
“Why, yon black rasosl, whet
do you mean ? I’m your mat
ter.”
“Yes, Mass Jnbe, when jou’ae so
ber; when you’se<:rnnk 1’se mse-
sa.”
“Well, 1 reckon yon are right,
old man. I’ll go with ) on.”—Bestow
