The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1890-12-11

The Winston correspondent of
the State Chronicle says: "Mayor
Jno. D. Coan, of Ridgeway, Va, and
Mr.. Geo. o. Jones, tobacco man.
ufacturers of the same place, were in
the city yesterday on business con-
nected with the Roanoke & Southern
railroad. Ridgeway is a. growing
town and on the above railroad.
These gentlemen report that large
magnetic iron ore discoveries have
been made around the Chestnut
Knob mountains near there; also
that a silver bed has been found
about one mile on this side of the
line"

CnIOAGO,s LATEST.

Chicago is not little stirred up just now
about educational matters, and one Of the
ideas involved is that it would be good
plan to engage matron for every school
building, whose duty it shall be to look after
the physical we'll being Of the scholars. In
support of this it is argued that the teacher
who attends closely to her task of filling up
the minds of her pupils with information
not they have wet feet, damp or insufficient
clothing, or cleanly habits. Children with
frail bodies and consumptive tendency are
as likely as not to be seated next to windows
or doors where cruel drafts send them into
fatal illnesses, and, we'll or i'll, the teacher
has no option but to enforce upon them the
tasks and lessons of the day. It is as neces-
sary that the youth Of the land should have
sound bodies as that they should have sound
minds. Indeed, the one is the necessary
foundation for the other. A kindly, mother
ly, middle aged mstron, would be able to do
mucn for Tho children that is not done for
them now.
At first sight this seems to be a very good
idea, but 1t might not work thoroughly we'll.
OF course it's valuo would all depend on the
women selected to carry it out. There are
many feachara whn-nan and do take good
care of the children under them. A matron
would only be in the way in some schools.

BLACKBURN TaRN AND NOW.

nAAOnn u "nN "A - NJ we
There has been great deal of loud talk
about Speaker Reeds action. Among the
loudest in denouncing the speakers "usurp-
ation," as he calls it, was Senator Blackburn
of Kentucky. "If I were a member of the
house." says this irascible Kentuckian, sand
I wish was, would walk down in front of
that man Reed and I would say to him: 'You
dare to vote me and put my name on that
record, you dare to name me and cast q
stigma upon me a. representative of this
body, and I will make it q personal matter
with you, you dirty despot, and when you
for IT,"
It is perhaps fortunate for Speaker Reed
that the fiery Blackburn is not a member of
the house. But when he was member of
the house ten years ago he was the most
jealous advocate of rule offered by Mr..
Tucker of Virginia, and in advocating that
rule he said, as reported in the Congressional
Record: When member refuses to answer
his nams-a duty made imperative by ex-
listing rule which says that he shall vote un-
less he be excussd-the amendment Of my
friend from Virginia simply provides that
when member shall fail to discharge this
duty imposed upon him by the highest obli-
cation he can possibly bear, an obligation
made imperative by the plain language of the
rule-when refusing to discharge such q
duty, he shall not be reported or recorded as
voting at all, but his presence shall be noted
in order to prevent the absence of . quorum.
It will be interesting to see Brother Black.
burns explanation of this. Possibly he will
hold any man accountable" who says a
word to him about 1t. But he Is very neatly
caught. .....

Something seems to be wrong in Philadel-

quirer, ''the worst gas in the world. We have
the worst pavements in the world. We have
the worst sewers in the world. We have the
worst accommodations for street transit in
the world. We have the worst city councils
in the world" About the only consolation
there is for the Philadslphian is that things
at the worst will surely mend.

ciic in five days, and the journey from At
lantic to Pacific made In four days, which
can be done today. All that will be needed
will be close connections between boat and

There are many complaints Of the MANAGE
one man to act as driver and conductor.
When the driver is inside of the car collect
ing fares he can't see the people who want to
get on the car, and they are left to take
gerous for those crossing the track, with no
one to stop the car and save a serious acci-
dent that might occur. In stormy time
the driver is obliged to 60 through little
crowded car, dragging his wet coat over the
passengers.

The patronage not justifying the ex-
pense in the spring we returned to the

good printing contracts. {. q. Bradley,

$75. The Southerner has the publication
of the county statement, commissioners
attendance, insolvent tax list, land sales
for taxes, all the sheriff's notices, the or
ders of the courts for 1889. Now has the
financial statement for 1890. and for
other sundry work has received $62 90.
During all this time the Banner has been
highly favored with promises and work
amounting to 75 cents, And in this con-
nection we will add that we have never
been asked to do n little favor, in matter
of publication, by thecounty officers that
we did not do.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

To old and young, poor and rich,
TO great and small, subscribers and
advertisers, to one and all, the GOLD
LEAF wishes Merry Christmas.
Let this be season Of rejoicing.
Christmas is the chief holiday of the
year, because it is the anniversary of
a day that marked a new era in our
world.
We should celebrate with spirit of
joy and thankfulness appropriate to a
day that characterizes the beginning
Of the one perfect life and the one
perfect example which appeared Oh
earth to bring to mortals the "Ti-
dings of great JOY"
If you would be happy this blessed
Christmas day, see to it that you
make some one else happy and your
heart will overflow with joy.
Go to some poor family and assist
them to spend joyous day; remem-
Der the fatherless and motherless little
children, make one day in their lives
happy, and the joy that will come to
you, will be remembered far into the
year.
1t is more blessed to give than to
receive" therefore as we receive let us
not forget to give good things-spir-
itual and material-!nore freely than
ever before.

Keep Together.

1t depends upon the Democrats in
the Fifty-second Congress whether the
next President shall be Democrat or
a Republican. If they pursue wise,
conservative and thoroughly Democrat
ic policy, Democrat will be elected
President in 1892. The violent and
fraudulent schemes Of the Republicans
cannot prevent it. If the Democracy
is kept united, nothing can prevent it..
1t can be kept united if the advocates
of free trade are not allowed to get
the upper hand again. If they do,
disaster is inevitable. In the exulta-
ton Of success no inconsiderable
part Of which is due 20 factional quar-
rels and disafections among Repub-
licans which will have ceased to exist
by 1892, the Democrats must not lose
their heads or fancy that they can
afford to intermeddle rashly with the
great material interests that were
threatened by the policy of disaster.
The country has condemned the Re-
publicans. 1t will approve the Demo
Gratis if they show themselves worthy
Of confidence and capable of using
their victory wisely.
The Democrats have got together.
They must keep together. If the
Democrats in the Fifty-second Con-
gress only avoid dangerous expert
ments, and remember that the Dem
ocracy is great national party which
must use its power in accordance with
its established and essential principles,
