"ExCLUsIvE PRIVILEGES. >,

Before giving to private indivil-
uals or incorporated bodies exclu-
sive privileges, it would be well for
Boards of Commissioners or Alder
men to consider very carefully what
they are about. Tie Charlotte DEM
ocraf, in referring 10 the recent re-
fusal of the city authorities of Will
nington to grant exclusive privi-
ieges to a company for the erection
of electric lights, says, that "no city
or state has the right to grant ex-
clusive privileges and the Whining
ton people are right in refusing to
do So"
A similar sentiment is expressed
by the New York San, which gives
the following paragraph the most
conspicuous place on its editorial
page:
The folly and improvidence OF
giving to private individuals for
nothing the most valuable franchises
of community, is seen in the fact
that five cent fare on the elevated
railroads would pay ten per cent
per annum on the SEC, 900 actual
cash it cost to build them. Of course
Individual enterprise and risk should
reap rich rewards when they de-
serve it, but it would be quite posi-
Bile to secure .hese rewards for them
and protect the public interests at
the same time"
Granting exclusive privileges toists
a monopoly in community that
may, in time, get to be an onerous
burden.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

During the last session of the Leg is
lature law was passed STIMULATING
that the public schools of the
State shall be open four months in
the year. In Sampson county the
Commissioners found that they wonld
be unable to run the schools the time
required by the law, owing to an in
sufficiency of funds, SO they proceeded
to levy additional taxes, enough to
carry them to the end of the four
months. The payment of this addi-
tional tax was resisted by the tax
payers, and the case carried into court.
An appeal was taken from the Super
Tor courts decision and the case was
carried to Raleigh.
In a decision just publis he'd it is
seen that the Supreme Court decided
that the County Commissioners haven't
the right to levy taxes for the support
of the public schools to a greater
amount than the constitution provides.
Chief Justice SMITH in rendering his
opinion, expresses himself IS follows ::
In executing this legislative man.
date to raise by assessment the addi-
tional sum required to maintain the
public schools for the prescribed pc
Rod under the constitutional provi-
sion which has been recited, the ag-
gregate amount of the taxes levied is
Lightweight and one-third cents on
the one hundred dollars worth of prop
erty and two dollars and sixty-fve
cents on the poll. Inasmuch as these
provisions of the constitutions are in
conflict in their application to the
facts in the persent case, the one COM
manding under penalty to be done
that which the others withholds the
means of doing, the question is pre-
sented, if they cannot upon any reas-
enable construction be reconciled :,
which shall prevail, and which must
yield. The court below ruled that
the tax levied under the act of 1885,
overlapping the limits of taking pow
er conferred, although necessary to a
compliance, with the directions as to
the schools, is not warrented by the
constitution and cannot legally be en-
forced. The correctness of this ruling
is before us on the appeal.
While reluctant to declare legis-
lative act unconstitutional, and the
courts will only adjudge in a plain
case, admitting of little or no doubt,
yet most imperative obligation rests
upon them to uphold the fundamental
law where they are in irreconcilable
conflict and to declare the former in
operative and void. 1t is an incon-
trovertible proposition that when in
the same instrument a restricted au-
thority is conferred and an act be so
done under it to which that authority
is inadequate, it is only necessary to
do what can be done within the pre-
scribed limits. The duty then of keep
up the public schools, developed upon
the commissioners, is performed when
all resources upen to them are en-
ployed and exhausted in the effort to
MAINTAIN them for the designated pc.
riod. Within the limits of the power
to tax given the commissioners the
schools must be kept up and the man
date is arrested when those limits are
reached. Action beyond is not only
required but is void if attempted.

A WIFE's MISTAKE.

There is one wife up town who it
no longer anxious to play off jokes
on her husband to get even. She
WAS economical, and it was the hard
est thing in tho world for this poor
man to get really good, fine, elab-
crate dinner at his home. So one
day he took an idea into his head
that he would have decent meal
for once, so be telephoned:
~ am bringing three fellows home
to dinner-frienos from the East.
Do the thing handsome"
She worked like O Trojan and got
up a magnificent dinner, and just
when she had put the finishing
touches to tho meal he telephoned
again.
"Tbey can't come, Im s)rry you
had so much trouble"
he was chuekling over this. 1t
was too good joke to keep, 80 he
told married friend, who went
home aud told bis wife, who put on
her bonnet the next afternoon and
went over and told the victim. Time
went on, and one day this man had
some friends from the East aud be
telephoned his wife to make prepar-
ations. She answered cheerfully
and thon dressed herself and went
off to dine with a married friend.
When she came home she found that
her husband and three friends had
been there and gone down town.
About 4 O'Clock 10 the morning q
man fell up against the front door,
and he was put to bed as gently as
if he had been perfectly sober
