The Senate's Tariff Bill.
[ Baltic. s..n of las: Thursday. !

Tie finance committee of the SEN
ate yesterday completed its tariff bill,
and authorized MIR. Morrill, to report
it to the Senate. The pill as it will be
reported differs as to every commodity,
except tobacco, from that passed by
the House, and is substantially the
same measure repeated two years ago
from the Senate finance committee.
The provision >of the House bill that
after July 1 1891, manufactures of
which tin plate is the chief part shall
pay in addition to the rate of duty
upon tin plate an ad valorem duty of
35 per cent. is stricken out. The
glassware classifcations in the House
bill are changed, and large general
reduction Of duties is provided for
Steel rails have the duty reduced from
$13 A to 81 80 per ton. Mica and
crude nickle are put on the free list.
Sawed boards are to pay 81 per thou
sand feet instead of $3.50, as provided
in the House bill No bounty is to
be given for less than five hundred
pounds of sugar annually, and sugars
between 13 and Is Dutch standard
are to pay duty of threetenths of a
cent pound. Sugars above 16 are
to pay six -tenths instead of four -tenths
of a cent pound. Slight reductions
are made in many items in the agri
cultural schedule. Exporters of meat
are no. allowed rebate on salt used in
curing meats. Natural effervescing
mineral waters are made free. The
duty on cotton, fax, hemp aud jute
manufactures is reduced all the way
through the schedules. Only slight
changes gre made in wool The boun-
ty for silk and silk cocoons raised and
reeled in the United States is stricken
out. A large reduction in the duty
on buttons. excepting those made of
agate. pearl and shell, is effected by
provision that they shalfbe dutiable
as manufactures of the materials of
which they are composed. Works Of
art are taken from the free list and
made dutiable at 80 per cent. ad valo-
rem. The provisions limiting to $500
in value the wearing apparel Of a per-
son may bring into the United States
is stricken out.

would be full. / went to the city,
learned few legsl phrases, and my
ambitiors were to go into politics.
My people sent me to Congress, where
/ sat for two Years with the other
great mel. Of the country. My dream
was then to be Governor of Tennessee,
the greatest State of the Union, aud
thought my happiness would be com
plete. For twp terms the people of
Tennessee favored me with the posi-
ton Of chief executive. My ambi-
tions have all been realized--I have
mingled with tie great and-rich men

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE.
Public Speaking and Other Interesting
Exercises.

Exercises.
Prof. Chas. d. McIver will. during
the week beginning July 81, 1890,
hold an Institute in Winston.
This Institute Is not for teachers
only, but for the people as we'll. Its
efficiency. therefore, will depend large
ly upon whether or not the people at
tend. Let as many as possible attend
the daily exercises.
Friday of that week will be devoted
t" special exercises that will be of
interest aud profit to all who will at:
tend Addresses will, on that day, be
made by Prof. Chas. D. McIver and
Others, which will do much good to
the cause of education If the people
will go and hear them.
In Virginia there is spent for public
education on each child, white and
black, an average of about two and
one half times as much money as is
spent in North Carolina, and the aver.
age length of annual session in Vir-
ginia is about twice that of ours. Not
only so, but we are behind almost all
the other Southern States.
Except in few of the cities. our
public schools do not satisfy either
their friends or their opponents. We
levy only 124 cents on 500 of prop
erty Gone and quarter miils). The
fact is that with so small a levy it is
impossible to have an. efficient and
creditable system Of schools. Count
and see how little it amounts to on the
assessed valuation Of your property.
The great bulk of our people are
farmers aud laborers in other voca-
tions. who are solely dependent upon
the public schools for the education
of their children. Even of the white
children, perhaps as many as IL out
Of IL in this State have no other
schools.
Perhaps you object to dividing with
the negroes. As rule, the tax of 124
cents on 800 of property raises more
money to each child, white and black,
in the counties where there are many
negroes than i'm those counties where
there are few or none. 1t is the labor
of a county that makes its wealth. IF
we did not have tie negroes we would
have some other poor people whose
children would have to be educated in
the public schools
But, whatever may be said about
educating the negroes, we cannot af-
ford not to Improve the educational
facilities, whether we consider our
financial condition and progress or
the perpetuation of our civil and re-.
ligious liberties. The matter is within
the power of the people, and when
they come duly to consider this great
question, and see it as it is, they will
willingly tax themselves more, and
gire more attention to the education
of their children.
If you say we are too poor. then l
reply that the way to get richer is to
educate ou. own people Intellectually
and industrially, so that they may be
able successfully tc apply labor to the
development of our many resources.
The history of the world points out
this way, and we cannot fail if all
walk il it. With good schools in the
country districts much of the discon-
tent and restlessness of the people will
disappear, and better success will at
tend their labors.

GIRLS STRANGE DEATH.

From Rushing Train,

She Ties Herself by the Neck and Leaps
From a Rushing Train,
CINCINNATI. o., May 22.-When the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton vesti-
bule left Chicago at $3.50 Tuesday night,
there was among the lady passengers a
young lady, presumably about 20 years
old.
Before the train had proceeded many
miles from Chicago she produced two
pint bottles of whisky, which she drank
hastily. She remarked that she was
going to Cincinnati Il have no friends
there though, and don't know where
to go" 4,
She then walked to the rear end OF
the coach and the passengers never more
beheld her alive. Tying rope that she
had concealed in her dress around her
neck and securing the end to the railing
of the vestibule she jumped off into the
darkness.
1t was some time before the passen-
gers realized the truth. The train was
stopped and an engine being side-tracked
was sent back along the track. They
found her remains lying III several
inches of pool of water and blood.
Her name could not be ascertained.
In her pocket was a ticket to Cincin-
natl. 1t was at midnight when she
jumped off and the place was near
Monon, Ind.
She was evidently girl of some re
finement, and the passengers think the
reason she drank whisky was to nerve
herself to her suicide.
Her name and her reason for taking
her life is one of the many mysteries
| that may never be solved.
