EASTER.

1t is hardly worth while, perhaps, to
speculate on all the causes which have
led day once, and not so very long ago
exclusively associated with one OF two OF
our many religious sects, to command
almost equal recognition and observance
from the various branches of the Christ
ian Church in this community. That
there has been such change in the char
acter of Easter Sunday in New England
is apparent, and it is equally clear tha
the community at large is the better fol
it. Each year sees more general and {
more elaborate observance. The forms
which the Easter services usually assum,
are such as must impress even the mos
indifferent and needless persons who OF
ordinary occasions seldom pass within
church's portals, while among the regu
lar attendants upon Christian WORSHIP
the day is pre-eminently one for
strengthening and renewing of theil
Christian faith. One reason, perhaps
for the influence which Easter has gained
in all classes Of the community is tn,
close and obvious connection between
the great event which it commemorate
and the idea of regeneration which tn,
aspect of nature usually conveys at tn,
Easter season. Particularly potent il

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

A recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court in one of the Minnesota
Granger cases possesses some features
that make it one of the most important
rendered by the highest tribunal in re-
cent years, as it entirely controverts the
claim that State has arbitrary and un-
limited power to regulate railroad
charges.
The court holds that the fact that these
corporations are public carriers, acting
under charters granted by the States, and
responsible for the abuse of their privi-
leges, does not invest the Legislatures
with power to dictate rates of cOmpensa-
ton for them, regardless of circum-
stances. The right and power to ''regu-
late are conceded; but this right and
power. IL is decided, cannot be so exer-
cised as to fix railroad charges on basis
causing loss or less than a fair income
of profit to the railroad companies. The
court holds il is the duty of the State to
take all the conditions into account, and to
provide fora judicial determination of the
reasonableness of the charges il seeks to
enforce. The opinion of Legislature or
Railroad Commissioner is not cOnclu-
sive in such case. Under the common
law, the courts may intervene to correct
or prevent an obvious wrong, and to
compel an adjustment of rates that will
permit the railroads TO earn fair and
Legitimate profit.
When charges are so lessened as to fall
below the cost of fhe service and a rea-
sonable profit added thereto, the court
declares, it amounts to the taking of
property without due process of law,
which is expressly prohibited by the
Constitution; and when it is considered
that this decision naturally applies to all
corporations, il is evident that il must
have an important bearing upon all fu-
ture legislation affecting corporations.

WHAT A BOY SHOULD KNOW AT
EIGHTEEN

A youth of eighteen, who is to have
the best chances, should know how to
study, and know how to do it with en-
thusiasm also, because he has learned
the lesson at least five years before.
Enthusiasm, guided and controlled by
knowledge as to the use of the powers, is
the true life of living man, alive with
the spiritual forces, Everything else is
in sleep, or is dead.
make my starting point, and my
guiding thought the thought that he
should learn how to study and should
gain enthusiasm at the beginning.
In the first place, as l think, the study
Of language may be most hopefully and
successfully started in these earliest
years. The boy moves joyOusly where
the man finds only labor and weariness.
The children of our households to-day
may gain the same thing that we gained
at five and twenty, and far more than we
gained at ten or twelve; and their pro-
gress is like the joyful song of their
childhood, when they are led along the
rational method. They grow up into
French or German, as it were, as they
grow up into English, and talk and read
and sing in these languages, just as they
do i'll their own. Why should they not
breathe in enthusiasm with every breath
of their learning? 1t was with great
price, indeed, that we obtained this free
dom. But they were free born.
Let me say here that, in my judgment,
every boy who has the best chances
ought to have the mastery of the French
or German language Il should say of
both) before he is eighteen years of age
"a mastery kindred to that which he
has of English. He should, also, have
such knowledge of Greek and Latin as
will mean power in and over such Ian
guages, and will enable him to read them
with ease and with satisfaction as he en-
ters upon his college course. The man
who knows the ancient languages as he
ought to know them will never contend
against their holding place in the edu-
cation of all widely-educated and round
ly-educated men.
The boy who has the best chances
ought in the years between twelve and
eighteen to be set forward on his course
in history and the beginnings, at least of
the literature of his own language.
My feeling is that the boys who have
the best chances should know some
thing of music, and should, at least, see
the opening of the door toward art
studies. The opinion is now well estab-
lished, suppose, that all persons can be
well instructed in vocal music with a
measure of success. | believe that the
same thing can be accomplished in the
line of instrumental music.
That the mathematical studies should
be pursued energetically before the youth
has reached the age of which we are
speaking, may add, is admitted by all.
The men of the former generations and
the men of our day agree at this point

THE EDITORS ARE COMING,

The Globe congratulates Durham
on the fact that the North Carolina
Press Association will meet within its
gates this Summer. 1t is no small
honor for any North Carolina city to
have the privilege of entertaining the
newspaper men of the State. Not all
editors are brilliant and brainy but
most OF the Journalists of this State are
intelligent and industrious; men of
solid character and worth, land devoted
ly attached to the various interests of
this commonwealth. Among the
North Carolina editors are men of
ability, wit and genius, whose labors
are apparent in the columns of papers
that are an honor to the profession.
Some editors, who would be desirable
members are not connected with the
Press Association; some who have been
members are not; but among those on
the roll Of active members are Ashe,
Daniels, McDairmid, Haydn, London,
Caldwell, Sheriff., Scott, Manning and
Others who would adorn the profession
in any Stale.
To entertain such body of men,
the Globe is sure that Durham will put
her best foot forward. The city will
take pride in making the visit of the
editors pleasant SO they will be certain
to carry home favorable impressions
that in due season will appear in col
umns of their widely circulated journals.
The GLobe assures the edstors that
they will receive a cordial welcome to
Durham, and that everything will be
done to contribute to the enjoyment OF
their visit. 1t is sure that the Circum-
stances of the meeting will be more
favorable for the transaction of associa
ton business thon any that has been
held in recent years, and that will be
an advantage of no small importance.

DESERVED SUCCESS,

We join the Charlotte Chronicle in
congratulating our good friend. Brother
McDiarmid, of the Lumberton Role
SOnian, who, in addition to his being
one of the jolliest and clcverest of fell
lows, is one of the best editors in the
State, and the honored President of

increasing success as a publisher, and
the further fact that he has Just moved
his excellent paper into home of it's
own. The Chronicle says:
The Chronicle joins with the numer-
Gus other friends of the Lumberton

McDiarmid, the proprietor, on getting

MAN is one of the best weeklies in the

its own vine and fig tree" it is doubt
less better equipped for work than be-
fore, and Editor McDiarmid promises
to avail himself of all his facilities to
make his paper even better in future.

The members of the Association can

Carolina town. On the other hand
Durham will not have cause to regret
her hospitality, either from social
or practical standpoint The citizens
will have the pleasure of entertaining
considerable number of agreeable
visitors and when the brethren of the
press return to their homes after the
convention, such North Carolinians as
do not know what kind of a town
Durham is, will have a good opportu-
nifty of learning.

newspaper correspondent of Rngwood,
writes to the Scotland Neck DemTerdt
about the proposed railroad from Hen
dcrson to Nashville, and in case that
scheme is not carried through he sug-
gests one to run from this point to
Whtakers, on the Wilmington &
Weldon road, Uia Ringwood. We
make an extract. He says:
That excellent paper, the GOLD
LEAF of Henderson, is advocating a
railroad from that point to Nashville.
Such road would add greatly to the
convenience of the people and aid both
places considerably, also run in 7 miles
of this section. We need a railroad
badly and | can't see why capitalists
don't build one through this section.
Timber Of all kinds indigenous to the
country abounds in large quantities.
Our lands are highly adapted to the

dethrone king cotton and WELD the
sceptre instead. A railroad would in
