The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1890-10-16

The News and Observer in
speaking Of Senator Ransom as
an orator says:
Our own opinion is that he
is probably as fine an orator as
there is in the United States.
We once listened to politi-
cal Grafton delivered by Mr..
Geo. Davis-a Northern man
standing by US, exclaimed
who is that man! That speech
delivered in New York would
be worth fifty thousand dollars
to any man. There was proba-
bly, no man in New York who
could equal it. Gen. Ransom
could not rave made it.
Some years afterwards = i'll
1874, we heard Gen. Ransom at
Metropolitan hall make a
speech that Mr.. Davis cou' d
not have made-and we doubt
whether any ,othcr person N
the United States could have
equaled it.
Two years ago this writer
heard Senator Ransom ma Ike q
speech in the coul t-house, in
Clinton, which we believe no
man in North Carolina could
have improved upon. Many Of
our readers heard and remem
Der it. Though Of a political
nature, it was u perfect gem
of oratory. Strong 1neu whom
we had never known, on q y
previous occasion Of the kind tn
show the least emotion, were
moved to tears, and at It's con-
clusion pushed eagerly forward
and warmly grasped tie Sena-
tors hand while tears of al
miration and gratitude t;ickled
down their cheeGs. Sena; or
Ransom is al JratOr Of und0ubt-
ed great power, notwi thstand
ing the Rock ngham Rocket
has never heard hiiil accused Of
being such.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Mr Editor. In a recent issue
IF THE CAUcA,IAS" Sept. 18th
we belieye) there appeared an
article under the caption, is it
wise, is it just DC, from "tax
payer" upon The question Of the
proposed increase of taxation
for public school purposes. The
erticie is a "labored" efTo t, and
is very naturally calculates to
90 harm To the public school
system of the State and TO dis
tract public sentiment upon the
school question. The fact that
the democracy OF the State in
convention assembled has said
we demand a very slight in
crease Of taxation, that we may
have longer terms AID in fact
an altogether more efficient
system of public schools seems
to be the whole cause of tax
payers complaint.
He raises his voice against
the betterment Of our educa-
tional system without making
the first point against the
public school of the State which
are training to day 100000 Of
the white girls and boys Of
North Carolina.
Again Mr.. Editor your con-
tributor protests against the
proposed increase of this sal
ready onerou5 taxation" with
out stating that 121 cents is all
that is levied on the 500,
for public school purposes, aud
without setting forth any rea-
son for making his protest ex-
cept that "not infrequently is
heard the cry Of distress and
iiscord in our PARTY ranks" and
a whole lot about "taxed yes
taxed until the brow of labor
sweats IN vain"
He insists that "surely our
public schools are doing well
enough" Now we believe that
it is not well enough for tie
Old North State to lag behind
il educating her children anG
the fact that Va, Tenn and al
the Southern States with per
haps one exception are outstrip.
ping us along this line should
make al true CaTOlin;ans blush
with shame. We believe III

JUSTICE MILLER.

Justice Miller of the United
States Supreme Court, who was
stricken with paralysis about
a week ago, died on last Mon.
day night. He was born in
Richmond, KY, in 1915, and
was graduated from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. After
studying and practicing medi-
cine for a few years lie turned
his attention to the law i'll
which he made rapid progress.
Owing to differences with his
neighbors on the slavery ques-
ton he removed from his
native State to Iowa in 1850.
In 1862 President Lincoln APP
pointed his q Justice of the
Supreme court and he had
served on the bench ever since
taking rank with the foremost
jurists as constitutional ex-
FOUNDER. Personally he was
popular wherever known. He
was of large frame, sturdy con-
stitution, a good liver, demo
cratic in manners and good
humOred.
