EDEETON HIGH SCHOOL.
f. P. HALL, PRINCIPAL.
The Next Term Begins
OCTOBER !, 1888.

No guarantee is needed by those who
patronized this school during the past
year for its thorough work and rigid
discipline in the future. IG aims at
something higher in education than a
mere accumulation of facts-at bringing
all the powers of the mind into vigorous
exercise and teaching the pupil to reason
and think for himself-at laying solid,
substantial for higher education, and
fitting its students for the practical
duties of life. Only limited number
will be admitted this term SO that every
pupil may be under the Immediate care
of the Principal.
Reports will be sent out monthly, as
usual. bringing the standing of each
child in review before the parent.
As the school will be limited to SO
those wishing to attend had better apply
at once to J. r. b. Hathaway.

WHAT 1T MEANS.
Savannah Morning News

If the .'Solid South should ever be
split, the country would witness a
state of affairs in this section that
would cause honest Americans to hang
their heads in shame A divided
South means for generations, if not
forever, a mongrel government made
up of the worst elements of both races,
bankrupt States and beggard people
What was experienced twenty years
ago would seem pleasant remem-
brance compared with what be ex-
perienced if the South should become
divided. If there are Democrats who
are disposed to hunt up excuses for
breaking away from party ranks, it
would be well for them to consider
that party afiliation in the South
means great deal more than party
supremacy, 1t is vital to the social
and business interest of the people
that no false issues be raised to lead
Democrats astray.

neceSsaries of life. upon the price of
which the cost Of living so largely
depends. 1t is evident lhat the Clay
tariff in these particulars was much
lower than the present tariff, and that
In most articles of necessity the Clay
tariff was lower than the proposed
Mills bill
If, therefore, the Clay tariff was a
protective measure, then in a still
greater degree must the Mills bill be
called protective.
And yet there are honorable gentle
men and prominent party organs who,
through ignorance or dishonesty, call
the Mills bill a free-trade measure

THE FULL MOON.
SARAH K. BOLTON.

High in the heavens 1 see thee glide,
Happy as some eXpectant bride,
Hung round about with robe of blue,
With starry fringe of silver hue;
My heart gees out in praise to thee;
Sailing along the heavenly sea.
Thou shinest upon homes to night
Where sorrow comes with shrOud of
white;
Thou kisseth tenderly the sod,
That those who have been called of God
May not be lonesome where they sleep
In new-made graves, SO still and deep.
Thou shinest upon souls whose speech
Is loves sweet silence; lost in each,
And found In each-O rarest bliss
Sealed in the moonlight with kiss
The grandest gift from heaven above,
The pureity Of perfect love.
Shine on fair Moon, so calm and strong
My comforter, my cheer and song
Thy beams reach out to other lands,
TO other hearts and other hands;
And, sweetest of all thoughts that be,
Thou shinest on those dear to me.

TARIFF TALK
TOmaha World

j
Henry Clay has always been looked
upon as the father and high priest OF
the American protective tariff system.
Yet even under the tariff Of 1924
which is known in American history as
the Clay tariff, and which he intended
and argued should only continue while
the infant industries it fostered We're
in state of develOpmont-even under
that tariff, which was at the time sup
posed to be the very climax of the
protective theory, the taxes on the
important necessaries Of life we're 10y
no means as high as they are now
The Clay tariff imposed tax of about
25 per cent. on cotton goods; the tariff
now is As per cent, and the Mills bill
only proposes to reduce it to 40 per
cent, leaving it thus Is per cent.
above Clay's tariff.
The tariff on raw wool under the
Clay tariff was % per cent; under the
present tariff it is just twice as high,
while the Mills bill proposes to abOl-
ish it in the interest of manufacturers
and of the consumer.
The Clay tariff on woolen goods was
80 per cent; our present tariff is 20
per cent. and the Mills bill 40 per
cent. Was Clay, the father of protec-
ton, free trader?
Under Clay's tariff lumber was free;
now it is taxed 20 per cent, and the
Mills bill proposes again to make it
free.
Under Clay's tariff general iron
manufacturers were taxed 20 per cent;
under the present tariff the tax is 45
per cent; under the Mills tariff it is 40
per cent, or Is per cent. more than
Clay favored.
The same figures apply to steel man
ufacturers not otherwise provided for.
Under the Clay tariff fax goods
were taxed % per cent; now they are
taxed IS per cent, and the Mills bill
proposes to return to the Clay rate of
25 per cent.
Under the Clay tariff glassware was
taxed about 25 per cent; now Is taxed
about so per cent, and the Mills bill
proposes to reduce the tax to about
40 per cent.
In the above paragraphs we have
comparison of the leading or most i'm
portant features of Clay's protective
tariff. the present tariff and the pro-
nosed Mills tariff. These items are
most important because they cover the

A DOLLAR 4 DAY.
san Francisco Examiner. I


When the statement was first made
that Mr.. Harrison once declared a
dollar d Gay to be enough for work
ingman, the Republican managers
denounced it as false. There are
always a good many lies floating about
IN campaign times, and most Demo-
Gratis, fearing that this might be one
OF them, and not having the shameless
hess OF the wal tariff forgery mongerS,
were cautious about using it. The
Indianapolis Journal Mr.. Harrison 3
personal organ, offered reward Of
$1,000 for the production Of any
reputable witness who would say that
he ha.j heard the Republican candidate
make use of the expression attributed
to him. Assembly No. JOG, Knights
of Labor, took up the challenge,
furnished thirteen Witnesses and
claimed the reward. The Journal did
not pay the money. 1t insisted upon
afhdavitS, and announced that the
first man who ventured to swear to
his statement would be prosecuted for
perjury. And now John G.. Schwartz
of indianapolis has met this final bluff
by presenting ali affidavit to the effect
that he personally heard Mr.. Harrison
say that the wages offered by the
railroads were high enough, and that
a dollar day was enough for work
ingman. The matter has now become
too serious to be disposed of by random
assertions. The Journal will either
have to pay the reward or fulfill it's
threat, have Schwartz arrested, and
have the whole matter ventilated in
court. Meanwhile Mr.. Harrison's
position is not as enviable as it might
be.

SUNDAY.
New Berne Journal. |

On this beautiful Sabbath day, with
: the smile of God reflected OH sky and
land, in sparkling streams and bloom
ing flowers, we turn away from the
madening crowd that throng the pOlit-
ical highway, and listen to musical
church bells calling us away to CRATE
full songs and fervent prayers.
Thank God for the Sabbath 1t
comes as a divine benediction. The
Offices Of professional men, the stores
Of tradesmen, and all the walks of
business are closed; and calm, serene
and helpfnl rest comes to tired limbs
and weary souls.
Bnt while the Sabbath day is day
of rest, it is not day of idleness.
It's sacred hours have been dedicated
to God and humanity, and the earliest
beam Of every sabbath day should be
hailed as the first CLEAN of new born
! Easter morn.
Let us awake to song and praise.
Let the dew drop kissed by the rising
sun, exhale into the insenSe of prayer
prayer for home and kindred, for
friend and stranger, for country and
all mankind.
Then go out to cheer, to comfort
and to bless. Visit the sick and feel
the blesSedness of holding cup of
water to fevered lips, and tenderly
adjusting pillow to an aching head.
Go to the unfortunate and tell him
there is a better day coming; and, if
he looks distrustful, let him feel the
warm grasp Of a brothers hand, and
the sympathetic beat of a brothers
heart, and Hope will come again,
and JOY and Comfort follow in her
train.
Oh, lift up the fallen! Go to pow
erty and want, and open the shutters
and let in the light-the blessed light
of Heaven and Love!
Better, thousand times better, to
give this day to God and humanity,
than to selfshness and sin.
But the Sabbath should be especially
devoted to the public worship of God.
True every day is Gods; but it is
sacredly enjoined, upon all mankind,
to keep holy the day that God has
hallowed
Attend the Sabbath school and lead
young, immortalS to holiness and God
90 to church, for ''it has pleased God
by the foolishness of preaching to save
them that are lost
"Sanctify yourselves through the
spirit" then viii you be better pre-
pared for all the duties of life. Yours
will be more trustful friendship, and
a more devoted love. Business, In all
forms, will be directed to your own
good, the welfare of your fellowman,
and the glory of our God; and then
when life S sun is setting, the sky on
which you close your eyes will be
cloudleSs.

A Sagacious Dog.

MIR. lobe Clay, of the nrtesian we'll
fame, aud who now lives at Barlow,
on the Central Railroad. has presented
Mayor Price with q pointer dog that for
sagacity is one OF the most remarkable
that ever barked.
Yesterday tho Mayor was seated in
tho chiefs office at the city hall, and to
few friends he gave an exhibition of
what his dog could do. The least that
could be said Of it is that it was wonder
full performance. -.
Il want to write note get inc some
paper" said the Mayor to Rico.
Then Rico nosed around tho office IN
ill he found the waste basket, which he
overturned and secured scrap Of paper.
This was carried in his mouth to the
Mayor, who pretended to write upon it.
This note was then given the dog aud
he was told to carryit in the next room.
Rico obeycd, and the note was carried
as we'll as though child had carried it.
You're a Republican, Rico" said
tho Mayor when the dog returned.
Rico growled his dissatisfaction nj be-
ing called Republican. and, on its be-
ing repeated. pretended to bite bis Inasz
ter hand.
mo, you're Democrat" said the
Mayor, aud the dog laid down quietly
al his feet with an cir that seemed to
say, "You betcher sweet life am"
Say your prayers for these gentle
men, Rico" was the next request, and
Rico raised his fore feet on the wall of
tho room, and bending his head growled
for the space of q minute.
Rico seemed to have an unusual
amount Of sense. His master can write
a note ordering cigars and give it with
a piece Of money to him and then start
him off with the command to Ego and get
some cigars" He goes nosing around
among the stores until he gets Whit
Of cigars, and then ifthe merchant should
try to palm off any other article than
cigars on him he will not take it.
He will jump over chairs after the
manner Of circus dcgs, sit up. stand up.
play dead, make speech, and no dog
ever tried harder to talk. In addition
to these tricks he is fine dog in tho
field, and for this purpose alone would
command a high figure.
Mayor Price is exceedingly fond of
him, and hereafter his constant compan-
ion will be Rico. Mr.. Clay, who pre-
sented him to the Mayor, was long
time in giving the dog thorough train
ing, aud he succeeded well. --Mac0n

the head with club, and in an instant
the negro's wool was all ablaze. The

his fright sufficiently to stop running he
