The Public School System.

If the children of North
Carolina are to be educated
in the public schools, the
State must put up the cash.
Uncle Sam will not help us
out. The seventy millions
that Senator Blair wanted
to scatter among the school
houses OF the country have
been squandered, and before
the appropriations already
made by the reckless horde
that controlled the memora.

Gorman's Warming.

Senator A. P. German, of
Maryland, has issued a note
of warning to the democratic
party, as follows:
"While the dem ocrats
throughout the land are to
be congratulated on the
handsome manner in which
they turned out and went to
the polls on election day, it
must not be forgotten thata
careful review Of the figures
will show but a slight in
crease in the democratic vote.
1t will not do for US, to break
ranks and imagine that we
have secured a position that
cannot be shaken by our en-
emies two years hence. /
have been looking over the
figures this morning, and |
find that we polled within
900 Of our full vote in Balti-
more city, while tho republi-
cans were several thousand
short. So it goes in nearly
all OF the states. The returns
show that the republicans
were so disgusted with their
. leaders in Congress that they
refused to vote for them.
They did not turn around
and vote for us, but they
simply remained away from
the polls. Thus it will be
seen that men do not change
their politics any more read
lily than they change theil
religion.
!, "They will refuse to vott
with their party sometimes
! but they seldom vote witt
!, ! their enemies. It, therefore
!, ] behooves our people to mail
! tain their organization ant
!, endeavor to hold the adyan
! tage they have gained in tn
J. recent struggle"
Watauga Democrat. [volume] (Boone, Watauga County, N.C.) 1888-current, 1890-12-04

Wisp, the Blair bill has dis
appeared. ltisequally clear
that the present school tax
is inadequate. The Legisla-
lature soon to assemble will
be confronted by no question
more serious than this.
North Carolina is too great
a state to rest under the
taunt of having the greatest
percentage of illiteracy a
mong her people ofany state
in the Union. The request
of the state Alliance that the
school tax be doubled is
nothing but just and right,
and it is a very poor kind of
citizen who would be unWlll-
ing to pay an additional
twelve and a half cents on
each one hundred dollars Of
taxable property he possesses
J in order that the children
of the state may have a bet
ter chance to get an educa-
ton. We hope to see the
Legislature do something
handsome in The way OF CIV
ing the boys and girls OF the
} state, however poor, a chance
to have an even start in the
! race of life with their more
! fortunate fellows, at least as
: far as education will 60

Two Harmful Glasses.

There is a class Of farmers
very busy just now going
about saying all sorts OF
evil things against their fel-
low citizens, who are 'engag-
ed in vocations other than
that of farming. This is all
wrong, and such persons are
enemies to the farmers, and
are not entitled to respect,
or to be trusted by any class
of our citizens. Such con-
duct is born of seltishness,
meanness and cOwardice.l
On the other hand, there is
still another class-not far
mers, who are doing all in
their power to- prejudice the
merchants and manufactur-
ers against the farmers. OF
the two classes, the latter
are doing the most harm
however, for the farmer can
better afford to do without
the middle man than the
middle man can do without
the farmer. Conservatism
and a proper appreciation oi
the rights ofeach other would
create a better feeling be-
tween the two classes. The
farmer and the merchant
!, have existed from theearliest
periods OF civilization and
! will continue to exist INIT
the end Of time. The day ii
/, not far distant however
. when the farmer by educa
! tion and organization will
! be strong enough to com
!, mand equal recognition witt
!. any other class thatcontrol
the world. Southern Faf

Programme for Cleveland and Hill.

Only a few of our democratic
exchanges advocate Hill for
President in 1892. We are
opposed to his nomination
under any circumstances.
The Brooklyn Eagle, Hills
friend, proposes an arrange
ment that might work. 1T
says:
"The thing for Mr.. Cleve-
land to do is just to do moth
ing at all, but let the honor
and the responsibility, if he
should be willing to assume
them again, come to him
with the gravitation OF a
ground swell from all parts
Of the Union, and that the
thing for Mr.. Hill to do is to
recognize the invincible pre-
ference of the great body OF
the national Democracy for
the leader who, in 1883, pre-
sented and personified the
issue to which the people in
1890 have said amen by the
majestic voice ofa command
ing majority. Let the Gov
, ernpr go to the Senate for &

became so plain that fair

there was more meaness than
ignorance with the radicals
then in power, there was no
repeating of mistakes and
bad acts. and no legislation

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

Mr.. Harrison and Mr.
Blaine cannot continue their
present relations much lon
ger, unless there is a radical
ithange Of mind on the part
of one of them. That be-
comes palmer and palmer
every day to those familiar
with the inside workings OF
the administration. Mr.. Har-
rison has finished his mes
sage, and it has been shown
to every member OF the cabi-
net, except Mr.. Blaine. The
reason for this action on the
part of Mr.. Harrison is that
he directly contrary
to the.views OF Mr.. Blaine on
at least two important mat
ters dealt with by the mes
sage, and he has delayed
showing the message to Mr..
Blaine, fearing that it might
cause an open row between
them. Of course it will have
Ito be shown to the Secretary
of State before Congress
meets but there will be no
trouble, so far as Mr.. Blaine
is concerned. He made up
his mind when the Mckinley
bill became a law that the re-
publican party was doomed,
and since that time he has
/, not bothered his head with
matters outside ofhishobby
!. reciprocity.
= The leaders Of his party
have nearly all turned te
him as the Moses to lcat
! them out of the wilderness
and that is what is so gall
F, ing to Mr.. Harrison, wh'
wants vindication in th
: shape Of IL denominations; bu
one of Mr.. Blaine's warnes
and closest personal friend
told me that unless thel'
). should come a great chang
in the prospects Of the rt
publican party before 1897
Mr.. Blaine would under n
circumstances accept tn
&C nomination. One defeat b.
ing quite enough for him.
Unless a prominent Co
ernment official is off in h

I was speaking of an Englishman just
back. You see more of them here than any
where almost-some pompous and snobbish,
others afable and agreeable, but many
growing and querulous. "The 'orses hout
ERE hare not like the 'orses at 'ome, you
know" he'll complain, and show you q
piece OF rock salt that some one has paImed
OFF on him as petrifed snow. They are wild
over the Garden of the Gods, with its in
comparable scenery.
"Why, there is nothing helse like hit the
world hover, you know" he will say to you,
and 60 off and try to buy it.
He has high estimate of real estate and
other investments. Anything in the shape
of park takes his eye at once, and his
high appreciation of the beautiful and his
keen activity to "the main chance" are
constantly conspicuous. A party of miners
crossing the range in stage coach with one
of that kind that wears the visor of his cap
away behind his pompadour. is said to have
filled the Englishman's valise with iron
pyrites, saying it might pay him and his
friends to work such stuff, but an American
could only make SIS or $40 day at it, and
could not afford to fool with it.
WHY, really; you don't say" and so he
has his swell time "hin Hamerica."
Do you know, since penning the above,
the thought has come to me that perhaps it
is one of the stock jokes of the country, and
that I am caught in spite OF my vigilance?
The thought is narrowing.
