CONDITIONAL EDUCATION.

Not Democrats or Democratic editors, GER
tainly, if we have rightly read; but speaking
for ourself-and we believe that our senti.
ments are shared by others-we say that We
are opposed to any measure that contem-
plates national instead Of a State system
of public schools. This is the position of
the Democratic editors referred TO above,
and there is nothing in it inconsistent with q
willingness to receive government aid in the
way Of an appropriation or an apportionment
among the States, ofthe surplus funds in the
national treasury. North Carolina certainly
needs substantial help for her schools. She
is too poor to provide for her children; but
she cannot afford to have the national gov
ernment step in and take charge Of the
schools, because it would be long stride ia
the direction of a centralized government.
Federal aid, if it comes at all, must come
without any condition that will deprive the
States of absolute control 0ftheir own school
systems. Democr is and Democratic edi-
tors will oppose it if complied with such q
condition-Lerington Dispatch.
The position Of the Dispatch reminds us
of person sorely diseased, and too poor to
pay for the necessary medical treatment,
and when it is proffered, be refuses 1t. We
believe that the great masses Of the people
are desiroqs of and will accept with gratihed
hearts the remedy--it matters not by whom
administered Democratic editors TO the
contrary Notwithstanding. The government
has had some experience in matters of this
sort, and has probably prOhted by it. It y
also fair to presume, that the government
never having compromised or rspudiated any
of its obligations, feels itself fully as COM

Qua srArr AND HIM DaAwnAcKs-we

0uR STATE AND HEa DRAwBAcKs--We
wish to say now what We have so long be-
lieyed, and that is, that North Carolina is
the best State in the South. There exists a
better feeling between the races, more
Christian spirit obtains among all classes,
and justice in most sections is held more sa-
cred, the law being thereby upheld and sup
ported Now and then horrible crime is
committed by midnight marauders, and
Judge Lynch not unfrequently holds high
carnival in hanging an innocent victim; but
an honest public sentiment does not endorse
such conduct, and it is freely denounced by
the better class of our citizens. But for the
drawing Of the color line during the heated
campaigns, and the consequent ill-feeling en-
gendered thereby, there would be q state of
affairs in the Old North State reminding one
of the millennium. But SO long as drawing
the color line, and the cry of Negro rule
will save the State to Democracy, so long
will the cry be raised. We will be thankful
when something Of a political, or moral, or
religious, or material nature, will be injected
into the campaign to quiet this hullaballoo,
that is valuable only in doing the very thing
which should never be done-arraying the
races one against the other Hot-headed
politicians who seek to subserve their own
selfish ends, regardless of the welfare of the
people, raise this cry to retain themselves in
office, and are often afterwards as intimate
with colored people as with white, and often
times more so. 1t is policy that drives them
to raise the cry. Down with such dema-
gogues and demagoguery, and have some
issue more worthy of place in great cam
paign,
The State Exposition will prove more
than all else the relation that exists between
the races in this State, and whether or not
the old cry of Color and "Negro rule" is
not all bosh, delusion and snare.-Senti-
mel (N CO. Iarboro.

A bill to abolish the color test for admlsi
sion to the bar passed the State Senate at
its third reading yesterday by handsome
majority, five Democrats aud eleven Repub-
lcans voting in its favor. The law which
refuses to permit colored man to qualify
as an attorney.atlaw is relic Of the old
days of slavery and blot upon our statute
books. 1t ought to be repealed. In other
States this restriction has long been re-
moved, and yet the number of colored law.
yers has never been very large, and the com.
petition has not seriously injured the white
practitioners. 1t is not so much desire of
colored men TO practice law as their desire to
wipe off from our code this stigma upon
their race and color that calls for the amend
ment of this statute. 1t is an anomaly that
colored man may practice in the Supreme
Court of the United States and not in the
county courts of Maryland. 1t is to be
hoped that the bill will become q law-Bal-
timOre american.
The american says that Sin other States
this restriction has long been removed"
Probably it has been removed in every State
in the Union, with the exception of Georgia,
which still "holds its own" as Negro-ha-
ting State, especially as far as colored law
yers are concerned. The courts of Georgia
are down on colored lawyers, which has
been proven time and again.--Sarannah

VIVA T WE NEED

Perhaps in no Sta.e south of Mason and
Dixon's line can it be said with greater
truthfulness than in North Carolina, that
race prejudice is rapidly disappearing, and
all antipathies hitherto extant between the
races are being further and further removed.
This very desirable condition of affairs
comes of a mutual recognition by both
races Of the dependence of the one upon the
other. What the colored people greatly
need is friends.
D. We must have good and substantial friends
and in order to get them we must cultivate
friendly relations in all the walks of life, and
especially in business.
With a proper observance by each race of
the rights of the other, there will be no fric
ton, and that friendly relation which should
characterize two races reared together with
one common interest, will certainly exist
and continue to ripen into an inseparable
brotherhood

WANT A LEADER-The Austin (Texas)
Citizen of the 9Th says: 1--WE are without a
leader for the colored race in America. "
Douglass being old and having jumped the
race and could find no colored lady good
enough to be copyist, or serve in his office
as either clerk or housewife. Bruce, an as
sumed leader, who is only looked upon by
the whites as such, is in tact, not so consid-
cred by the masses of the colored people, as
he is only an office and honor seeker and
cares nothing for the race, as he is holding a
responsible position as Register ofthe Treas
ury for four years, and has yet to find n
place in his department higher than door
keeper orr messenger for one of the race
which he claims to represent, but always
recommends white lady or gentleman to
the department for position and plaoe--still
we have "laudsd him 10 the skies" We
think both BRUCE and Douglass have reached
their zenith, and we are now in need of bet
Ter and more progressive leaders, who are
not ashamed OF us ON account of color. We

The Legal Tender Decision.

Making greenbacks or government notes
legal tender was one of the war measures
and was most likely intended at the time to
be temporary measure. But the proper
tions assumed by the war, the immense out
lay Of money demanded and the extent to
which greenbacks entered into the business
of the country and became connected with
all kinds of enterprises and securities, have
given the legal tender feature continuance
and Importance that was not expected in the
beginning. sH gH "a5
The decision given by the Supreme Court
of the United States in 1871, through Mr..
Justice Strong, was at that time the subject
of much comment. And the court itself was
closely divided. Mr. Justice Bradley con-
Cured in separate opinion. But Justices
Nelson, Clifford and Field and Chief Justice
Chase not only dissented, but filed dissent
ing opinions. As the court consisted of
nine Justices the legality of the legal tender
enactment was sustained by only majority
of one. 1t was insisted then by some that
before many years this decision would be
reversed, but the tendency in that court has
been in the opposite direction.
The decision given last week which vir-
tually declares that the United States Gov
ernment can at any time mako its notes legal
tenders, was from full bench of nine JUS
tices, six of whom have been appointed since
1871, and eight Of whom conourred in the
decision, only one--Justiee Field--dissent-
ing. The opinion was written by Justice
Gray, of Massachusetts, At the time of his
appontme=. the Boston Advertiser spoke OF
this as an indication that the decision of
1871 would be reversed, but its expectations
have not been realized.
The present decision has not awakened
any alarm, nor has its influence been felt in
business or financial circles, while an ad'
verse opinion would probably have. osca'
stoned great excitement. The general feel.
Ing seems to have been we'll expressed by a
shrewd financier who said "The effect OF
the decision will depend upon the people
themselves. The Supreme Court has simply
recognized what the Government Of Great
Britain has recognized, namely--there is a
law above all forms based upon the natural
rights of the people to conduct the govern
ment in the way which plesses them. The
people have expressed q wish TO make the
notes Of the government legal tender, II
is above the Constitution and that 10 all
there is Of il. II opens the door to danger
by removing checks which have heretofore
given time for the sober sentiment OF the
country to make itself fell. A party In

will know no cliques, rings or "Bosses," but
will be an aggressive exponent OF the rights OF
the Negro. 1t will not know Coalition
nor any other combination Of men or parties
that does not know and properly respect
the Negro in his every right. 1t will un-
tlinchingly advocate the proper recognition
of coolred men as part and parcel OF this
government-entitled to just proportion OF
its patronage, and the equal protection OF
its laws. 1t will advocate the education OF
the masses as being the only sure solution OF
the Negro problem, and the maintenance
and perpetuation of an honest and economi-
cal government
1t will take high moral stand for hui
manity, with the hope that it will prove
blessing to the community in which it is es-
lablished, and lasting benefit to the State
and Nation.
With the above objects, we ask for, and
feel sure of liberal share of patronage.

LONGEST RESPITE ON RECORD.

WILMINGTON, Del, March II, lsS4.-The
Governor has respited Lewis F. List until
the second Friday oSMarch, 1910. The cul-
prit was to have been hanged next Friday
for the murder of George B. Taylor in Sep
tember, 1883. 1t was generally contended
that his offence was no more than murder
iu the second degree, and; as the Governor
has no power to commute the sentence, he
has granted the respite of over fifty years,
this amounting, in fact, to Imprisonment for
life.

Republicans to unite to defeat the schemes
by fighting the committee on its ground, and
electing delegates to the State Convention,

THE WILMINGTON, ,WRIGHTS VILLE
AND ONSLOW RAILROAD

WHAT COL pARDEE, OF NEW HAVEN, CONN.,, AND
MAYOR HALL SAY ABOUT IT-THH ROAD
MUST BE BUILT.
Col Pardee, editor of the New Haven Pal.
adtum, was in the city on the llth inst, and
addressed the citizens in the City Hall on
that evening on the future of Wilmington.
He had been in Onslow county, ard had
visited the Great Springs and Catherine
Lake. The Springs, it is said possess prop
critics Of great medicinal value; and were
they OF convenient access, would be Of in
calculable benefit to the afflicted. He de-
scanted upon the possibility of Whining
tons becoming great oyster canning cen
tire, &c. He said the railroad must be built
in order that tourists might have access to
Catherine Lake and the Springs. Col.
Pardee was sent by Northern capitalists to
"spy out the land" and returns home very
favorably impressed with eastern Carolina
and its natural resources. The interest in
the projected railroad is daily increasing,
and its ultimate success is only a question
of time.
MAYOR HALL.
Having learned that Mayor E. D. Hall, had
| been invited to address the citizens of Will
mington on this important enterprise, we
sought day or so since, an interview with
the Mayor who gave US his views, &c. He said
that if the colored people should fail to build
the road, the white people could build it. That
the white people of Wilmington were ready
and willingto subscribe the necessary amount
to build the road and if they would not do
it, The Wilmington and Weldon Railroad
Company would be glad to do it. That COL
r. Il. Bridgers, Presidentof the w. & w. r.
r., and himself had intended to take trip
over the road bed as far back as November
last He had hitherto had misgivings on
account of the way the work had been man.
aged lie felt that the road is necessity,
and unless the people of Wilmington make
some effort to facilitate travel and the con-
veyance of the products of those sections,
they will loose the trade of the counties of
Jones and Onslow. This is enough to infuse
the colored people with renewed energy. At
a glance all may see that this road, when
completed, will be one of the great thorough
fares to health and pleasure, and an impor-
tant auxiliary to the future prosperity of
Eastern Carolina, and especially to the city
of Wilmington.
