Ohio has passed a compulsory edu-
cation law, which is extremely strin-
gent. 1t provides that all children
between the ages OF s and IA years
must attend school, and imposes fine
and imprisonment on parents who fail
TO send their children to school. The
bill also creates truant officers, whose
duty it Is to arrest oil children that
may be found playing truaut. This
law is very good in some respects, but
still there are those on whom IT will
bear very hard, as there are some
parents who are totally unable to sup
ply their children with clothes fit FOL
them to attend school in. II there
were some provision made by which
tho parents of such children could b.

assisted in providing them with
clothes, there would be greater reason
to believe that the law would be more
generally observed. We believe that
the majority of parents are anxious to
give their children an education. and
those who are not should, as far as
possible, be compelled to do so.

Senator Morgan recently delivered
q speech at Birmingham, Alabama, on
the Constitution of the United States,
In which he told his hearers, that &c.
cordlng TO the provisions OF that docu
ment they had perfect right to de
prive the colured race OF the right OF
suffrage, which in his opinion was the
only way the race problem can ever
be settled. 1t was just such false and
foolish assertions as this that caused
the South TO stcede. and engage in a
rebellion for the destruction OF the
Union. The Constitution gives the
Colored man the right to vote, instead
of de priving him OF it, and the only
way by which the latter could be done,
would be by repeating the amendment
which eoniers On him the elective fran,
chise, something which no single
Safe can do, and which tie majority
of States never viii do. This The
Senator knows full well, and therefore
II seems next to q criminal act for him
10 attempt to make the people believe
anything different. The colored race
waited many years in patience Tor thei
rights, and " G do not believe they vii
ever be deprived OF them.

The Legislature of Pennsylvania has
@ bill before ii, which will probably he
adopted, providing tor the appoint
ment Of police NATIONS in. all cities Of
the first class, to attend to female pris
oners and children. This plan has
been tried in several of the station
houses OF Philadelphia and found to
work admirably in not only securing
better care for the female prisoners but
also in caring for poor homeless girls,
some OF whom have tby the efforts of
the matrons been saved from lives of
shame. An effort was made in this
city some time ago TO provide ma
tTOn for the police station, but from
come cause ii fell through. 1t would
also be well not only to have some
change made in the room which is
now allotted for female prisoners. Black
and white, drunk and sober, are crowd
ed together in this room, which is sup.
piled with but one bed, if indeed ii
can be called bed. The room should
be fitted up aud placed in charge OF q
matron, and II this was done we would
be in fair way TO accomplish some o.
the good work that has been done il
Philadelphia.

In another column of this paper we
have something to say about adver-
Using towns, and the disposition of the
citizens of some places to patronize
foreign sheets (by this we mean those
published at distance) in preference
to their home papers. The Winston
Sentinel observes what the Asheville
Citizen had to say about the "write-
up of the Mountain Metropolis BY
the New York HojM representative,
which is put down as "tough Oh the
town." being unreliable as to facts, in
complete as to detail, and steep as to
the price paid for the service rendered,
and says:
Winston Salem has also had some
experience on that line. If one half
the willingness was shown to support
home papers as there is to contribute
to those at a distance, it would not
only encourage the local papers to
work for home, but the result would
soon be apparent in increased benefits
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1889-03-14

advertising will never teach you better.
Look at the Western towns that have
supported a "home-paper" before a
dozen houses were built in them, and
found it paying investment, that are
to day great centres of trade and in
auence, and then see if you "don't be-
licve in Advertising TO be sure they
kept their locality before the public in
other ways, but their home papers
showed column after column of local
advertising, inserted as an investment
and 1t baid, while the same sheets were
sent by the thousand into the sections
from which they wanted to draw i'm
migrants, capitalists, money investors
and settlers, and tt dill tie business.

THE ELECTION LAW BILL.

We note with pleasure the fact that
the bill to amend the election law oil
this State has passed the State Senate
by the decisive vote of FL to IL. The
bill now goes to the Hou where we
trust it will meet with as hearty an
endorsement from the members of that
body.
1t is an eminently wise and just
measure-embodying the principal
features of the South Carolina, Geor-
gia and Arkansas laws-calculated to
purify the ballot and suppress the
voting Of ignorant mobs Of men. who
are often driven to the polls by de-
signing politicians and voted as SO
many sheep. Every voter will be re-
CURED to deposit his own ballots in
the proper boxes, which will be plainly
labeled Winston Sentinel.

NO CHANGE INTEREST.

The Hickory Press anu Ca,oHnian
has the following to say in regard to
the bill introduced in the Legislature
to make the legal rate Of interest in
the State per cent. The bill it will
be remembered was defeated. That
paper says:
The impression has gained wide cur
rency, despite denials, that the Legs
lature has reduced the rate of legal IN
terest in this State to per cent. 1t
has not been done. The bill was al
lowed to pass its second reading in the
Senate to please its aged father, very
poor reason we think. 1t caused men
who were looking to this State-to this
town-as place to loan their money
to look elsewhere, and it caused men
who now have their money in the
State to think of other States for their
homes and occupations. 1t seems
strange that man OF Mr., Williams,
age, common sense and professed in
terest IN the poor farmers who may
wish to borrow money, should favor
such law, and it is stranger still that
only three senators voted against it on
its second reading.
The Wilmington Messenger truly
says:
The fact of the business is our usury
laws have borne hard on the farmers,
while they have benefited about every
body who could control capital OF
obtain credit to operate with.
In the matter of obtaining advances
Of supplies to run their farms, the far
mers have, as a rule, paid six per cent.
month, or at the rate of about sew
enty-five per cent. per annum, eve,
since the close Of the war.
Yet they are no wiser, with all thei,
experience, than to be clamoring fol
cast-iron usury laws, and prescribed
rates of interest, at which they know
they cannot borrow, yet above which
they cannot demand, if any of them
should happen to have few dollars tc
lend,

resentative business men of the city a
company was formed for this purpose
and the capital stock was placed at
$1,000 with the privilege of organ
izing and commencing business with a
capital OF $4,000. $4,000 WAS at
once subscribed, and the remaining
$4,000 has been promised. Prepare
tions will at once be made for the
manufacture of shoes, etc, on a large
scale. The above is the kind Of news
we like to print, and we wish the en-
terprise the greatest success.
