The Trick Confessed.

Mr., WHITELAw REID coAfesses the
trick which lies concealed in the de-
mand made by the Senate upon the
President for certain papers and docu-
ments. The Tribune says:
"If the President will remove these
suspended officials from any stigma by
acknowledging that the cause Of their
removal has been solely on partisan
grounds then it is not likely that the
Senate will persist in its demand for the
documentary evidence But in the
absence of any such avowal it is hard
to believe that the President will direct
a Cabinet officer not to comply with
the reasonable demand made by the
Senate"
Just so. But what an idea Of con
stitutional law Mr.. REID must have
when he maintains the right Of the SEN
ate to compel the President to be con-
sistent for all that the Senate is at
tempting to prove is that Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND has not kept his promise not to
turn out faithful officers except for
cause. The Senate cannot stake its
reputation upon q trick. 1t will have
to let the President have his own way.
The fathers of the republic did not
make any such constitution as Mr.. REID
has in mind.

TO tile Editor Of tie Dispatch:
The people Of Caroline thank you
heartily Cor your able defence of their
rights in relation TO the delinquent-land
tax. At our last court mass-meeting
was held, and a resolution was unani-
mously adopted requesting our repre-
sentatives in the General Assembly to
secure total release Of tax, and an
amendment Of the law so as to provide
for annual sales Of delinquent lands on
OF before the lst Of August.
This resolution was directed by the
meeting to be sent to the Dispatch.
Why it was not done | do not know.
1t is clear that the people of the
whole State regard this as one Of the
most important questions now before
the Legislature. No halfway measures
will be satisfactory. They feel that
they have not been fairly treated by
the officers of the State, and demand
that their representatives shall see that
they are more fully protected, and that
it be provided by law that this shall not
happen again. A failure to meet the
wishes of the people on this subject
will be fatal mistake. q.

UNIVERSITY OF MONTH
CAROLINA,

CAROLINA, :
CHAPEL HILL, Jan. 81, 1886.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch
NV attention has Just been called to
letter from Raleigh, published in
your paper, which misstates my posi-
ton on the industrial-school question.
The truth is that after Governor
Scales had, in most earnest speech,
given cogent reasons why the Board Of
Agriculture could not, under the act of
Assembly, accept either proposal made
for the establishment of the school, /
followed with a statement of my con-
struction of the act. The act, as you
will see by reading it, allows any city
or town to secure the location by pro-
posing a donation Of property and
money adequate to the establishment Of
the school. If such donation be made,
the State gives $1,000 per annum--i. e.,
the interest on $50, 1888. 33-and vests
the city or town making it with equal
control in the management.
Tho character Of the school is de-
fined in the act-yiz.: Instruction in
woodwork, mining, metallurgy, prac.
teal agriculture. and in such other
branches as the Board may deem expe-
dent"
Now, Mr.. Editor, /, together with
Governor Scales and other members Of
the Board-two thirds in all--decided
that the sum Of about $4,000 is not
" adequatet to the establishment - OF the
aforesaid school. We all expressed
ourselves in favor of the project, and
the Board set aside, by unanimous
vote, $1,000 for the school whenever
any city or town shall make a sulli-
GENTLY liberal offer.
l will thank you to publish this let
ter. and request that newspapers
which printed your Raleigh letter will
copy mine. Very respectfully,
KENT p. BATTLE.
