THE AGRICUL TURAL COLLEGE
BILL,

CONGRESS has passed the Senate
" bill known as the Morrill, College
Aid bill. By the passage of this bill
our State Agricultural and Mechanical
College will get fifteen thousand dol,
lars next year. This will be good
news to every friend of. education in
this State.
When the recent Federal court de
cision was delivered, fears were eter.
tanned that the college wonld be badly
crippled for a time at least, but this
money from the Federal Treasury
will put the institution in better con
dillon than it ever has been.
If We understand the oil correctly,
every State in which an agricultural
college is situated will be entitled to
this appropriation. The States in
which the colleges have not yet been
started should hasten to take advan:
tage Of this appropriation. We think
the amount is to be increased every
year until it reaches $25, 900 for each
college. Each Safe must begin the
work. After the college is in opera.
ton it will be entitled to SIS, 900 the
first year and then $l7,5OO and so on.
Without a doubt this measure will
boom agricultural education. Agri-
culture is a science. Science is
knowledge reduced to practice or
knowledge, truth ascertained. We
! need more science, more system in

horrible indeed. We suppose the
crank tries to create the impression
that DR.. Macune left Illinois I'm Ter a
cloud; that he had committed some
crime. Strange that DR.. Macune
could not go from that State to some
other, and strange that this investlga,
ton has been so near a failure that
they can only charge that he left the
Stale and settled in California, amt
it d?
He then refers to DR.. Macune's con,
nection with the Texas Exchange,
which, owing to its doing an injudl-
cious credit business, failed a year or
two ago. He evidently wishes to
leave the impression that DR.. Macune
was responsible for the failure. He
says:
"Macune is the man who invents
the vile reports that r sent out
from Washington and who keeps the
Alliance in a state of frenzy by put
ting a false coloring on every piece OF
legislation"
He then proceeds to lombard Bro.
Ben. Terrell, the National Lecturer.
He charges him with being a " disap-
pointed politician" Thai is a great
charge to bring against any man. 1t
is utterly awful.
Now these things are funny. They
show that the members of the Sian
der Bureau y are in the last ditch. If
the bureau has accomplished anything
it has established the fact that the
leaders Of the Alliance are men OF ex,
cellent character. We doubt if any
men inside the ranks of our order or
outside could bear investigation by
inscriptions men and show a better
record. The Bureau of SANDER "
will not hesitate tell lies, but after the
investigation they found nothing and
their lying is so senseless that they
are ashamed of their own efforts.

PRESIDENT CARR'S ADDRESS
BEFORE THE STATE ALL
z ANCE AT ASHEVILLE.

The address of President Carr be.
fore the North Carolina State Farm.
ers' Alliance at A sheville was conser.
vative and business like in tone. He
traced the steady progress of the
Alliance from the time when it nun.
bered only eight county and one hun.
dred and thirty-two subordinate ALI.
ances, to the present, when this mum.
Der has increased to ninety five county
and two thousand one hundred and
forty seven subordinate Alliances,
with an approximate membership of
ninety thousand.
The membership of the National
Alliance for the United States was
estimated at four million, embracing
every State in the Union. This large
and influential society, the President
said, has determined to use it's infu.
ence to change the financial policy Of
this government and secure such
legislation as was needful in the pres
ent financial condition of the people
q debt paying system Of finance.
1t is fortunate for the country that
the great middle class Of our popuIa.
tion-the yeomanry of the land, has
come forward to contest the right of
m~onopolists to own and administer
this government, and it has not come
forward one day too soon,
TIE good effect of this organ cation,
on the part of the farmers, is already
seen in the closer fraternity bet Reen
the sections, which is being encour-
aged and &c nented by one of the
strongest motives which influences
human action-the promotion Of mu
tual interests, and the avoidance of a
common peril.
We are told by our wisest and best
statesmen that the liberties of the PEG
pie we're in greater danger, and
that the present dominant party in
Congress trampled upon the Constitu,
ton in it's mad ambition to perpetuate
its power, and legislated without re
gard to the interests of those who bear
the burden of government and pay
the taxes.
The record of Congress proves the
usurpations, and the d~eplorable CON
dition of agricultural classes verifes
the injurious and disastrous effects of
Republican legislation.
It is in every sense proper, then, for
this oppressed class of u country
men to organize and call a halt before
it is too late.
The student of history knows that it
was the great middle class of England
who so often defended and preserved
English liberty, and that it is to this
we are indebted for the civil and re,
ligious liberty we enjoy to day.
Inheriting the love for fair play
and for equal laws which character
lied our ancestors, the American yeo.
many should be received with plaud,
its of welcome by every lover of con.
stitutional liberty, when it awakens,
once more, from a sleep that threat,
ened to be fatal, for the purpose Of
aiding in purifying legislation, blotting
out all sectional lines, and enforcing
the recognition of the CONSTITUTE n as
the only guide in the enactment OF

Newspapers in Public Schools

The teacher who takes his text from the newspapers will enlist an ether powerful ally, and that is the parents and families of his pupils. The business man who can find no time for books eagerl y peruses his daily paper. and takes keen delight i'll discussing it's news or it's politics Children who find it difficult to at tract theIr fathers assistance in their studies, will find him immediately interested when the news is the sub jcet of their inquiries. Another feather of good paper, which should commend itself to the teacher as an assistant, is the moral training which it inculcates. All great reforms, all philanthropic movements, all patriot ic projects, find in the newspapers their strongest advocates. Virtue is everywhere praised, and vice held up to obloquy, and the qualities of en- crgy, activity and industry, as eXem- plifed in the career of successful men, clearly portrayed as the secret of their success Ex.

Most Remarkable Echoes.

Many wonderful echoes are known, but that which seems to take the first place is that of the old palace of Simonetta, near Milan, which forms the three sides of a quadrangle. The report of pistol is said to be re- peated by this echo sixty times, and Addison, who visited the place on a somewhat foggy day, when the air was unfavorable, counted lifty-siN repetitions. At first they were quick but the intervals were greater in proportion as the sound decayed, The echo at the Eagles Nest on the banks of Killarney is renowned for it's repetition of a bugle call, which seems to be repeated by hundred instruments, until it gradually dies away in the air. At the report of a cannon the loudest thunders reyer- berate from the rock and die in seemingly endless peals along the distant mountains. - New York Telegram.

and they are just obliged to ride Tn a carriage when they go visiting. Such people are the talk of the town and they don't know it. There are nice young men i'll every town who have been clcrking for years and haven't { laid up dollar. They must take m every show that comes along, and spend s5 every dance, for those who dance must pay the fiddler. Capi- tai is very particular these days. When capital wants a young man it looks around for one who dOesn't | smoke or drink or gamblc-one who saves his money and doesn't run about every night. Family influence isn't worth cent now. \ young man stands on his own merits, his habits and his associates. Young man, there is blue book in every town and your name is on it. But there is no use for a young man fail
 ing to get employment Ill this coun- try. If he does it is his own fault. If he cant get rich fast he can slow. If he began young and worked hard and behaves well he will accumulate a plenty for his old age. Old age wants money. It wants rest and should have it. "Optium cum dig nate" It is Latin for digniied leisure. But l heard Judge Under wood say it meant rest comes after digging" Dig first and rest after ward.

Advice to Boys.

It is an old saying that if a young man saves his first 5 ,000 he will get rich-that is so in nine cases out of ten. Yes, if he will save his first S1O0 he will succeed, and any young man can.save that much in a year if he will let whisky and tobacco and society girls alone. Society will keep q young man poor. It keeps married folks poor. l am thinking now of married man who is bowed down with debt, while his family is trying to keep the ragged edge of so-

WE AND THE WORLD.

The world is the same the whole world over, In every country and every cline; Men love beauty and bees love clover, And will to the distant end of time The world is the same old world forever, There's joy in truth and there's pain in vice; The fruit forbidden we taste and sever Our hold on the hearts pure paradise. The worlds to-day is the world. tomorrow, And both shall be its yesterday; Our joy and grief, our love and sorrow. Like our fathers thoughts, shall pass away.

New York, Nov. 9.-For the first
time on record in New York the arrest
OF a woman who had come from hundreds
OF miles away to buy green goods, :"
was reported to-day by Acting Superin-
tendant Ayrnes. More than that, the

from which she travels all alone to the
East to meet the man from whom she ex-
pected to buy counterfeit money as coed
as genuine at the rate OF $40 to 81.

headquarters, was found in the inside
bosom OF her dress big ttye-ehambered
loaded revolver, with which she had ev-
