DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
THE EALLIANCEIN THE RREACHI

-
counties have passed resolutions de-
manding the next legislature to raise
the school tax. Guildford wants the
present tax doubled and asks for an
appropriation for the higher education
of women. Both resolutions are indie
ative OF a growth of public opinion
along these important lines. 1t goes
withoutl saying that-we have long
needed both these changes. Our pub
lie shoots in the country are far from
satisfactory. North Carolina ranks
low when compared to other states in
the way of State support to education.
In our country public schools there is
crying need ifor longer terms and
better teachers. More money would
bring both.
AS to State appropriation for the
higher education of women, let US say
right here that it is a burning shame
that so few states make such appropri-
ations. We support our University and
our Agricultural College, our peni-
tentiaries, our asylums, but our
daughters have do the best they can
at private or church schools. Many
of these schools do good work; we wish
them all Godspeed; but the great
bane of female schools generally is,
that they are dependent upon pratron
age for their support and are obliged
to lower their standards to suit the
ideas on female education held by
many of their patrons. Let the State
endow female college of high geade,
get the best instructors that can be
had for the money: and then the other
schools will be obliged to endow
end raise their standards or suffer the
consequences. Take the male colleges
of the State. Their endowments would
amount to scarcely anything if it were
not for the competition of The Univer-
sity. Their standards would be lower
ed while their changes would be raised.
Such to-day is the condition of female
education in the South. In the North
it is different, where female institutions
of high grade have been endowed by
private individuals. In the South we
rave few individuals wealthy enough
to do this. Our fortunes are yet COM
paratively small. Therefore there is
all the greater necessity for the States
in the South to take the lead in en-
dowing State institutions Then the
church institutions will be endowed by
their churches In self defence. Thus
the standard of education is raised all
along the line. Better teachers are
employed, better buildings and applica-
tions provided. Tuition and other
expense, too, are lowered, and the peo-
pie generally benefited.
If the Farmers Alliance, with its far
reaching machinery, can bring about
these two blessings-the doubling of
the tax for public schools and State
appropriation for the higher education
of women-its time and labors shall
not be spent in vain though
in the future it should split o. some
unseen rock and go to pieces, as other
strong organizations have done.
= 4. great deal of praise is certainly
due those indefatigable works in the
educational field, Profs c. D. McIver
and E. A. Alderman, for the pointed,
telling way in which they have present.

1t is now said that both Blaine and
Harrison think it best that the Nc
Kinley tariff bill be dropped. Mr..
Harrison wishes to do this because
there is deficit in the treasury. The
Mckinley bill provides for free sugar,
from which the revenue heretofore has
been great. Mr.. Blaine is opposed to
free sugar unless we effect compro-
mise with South America by which
their ports are opened free to some of
our products. AS it is now too late to
alter the bill, the probability is that it
will be dropped.

A COLD IN ITS TREATMENT.

When exposed to the influence of
damp air, sudden changes of tempera-
ture, ETC., the skin becomes chilled,
and the blood is driven from the out
side surface to the deeper-seated organs
of the body, causing congestion of the
mucous membranes lining the air tube
and digestive canal, followed by chills,
suppressed Precipitation, aches and
pains in the bones and back, with
slight fever; the disease is termed a
common cold. Treatment: This disease
is best treated by a warm bath at bed
time andten grains of Dover's powder,
with a free use of warm drinks. Three
grains for a child.

A correspondent of the DAILY World
says: al am surprised so little is said
about pumpkins as an article of food
for dairy COWS. Perhaps our famil-
iarity with this old-time food leads to
its neglect, just as a farmers son goes
past the homespun beauty of a neigh
boris daughter for the more dsshing
attractions of some city-bred miss,
only to see his error when it is too
late. Your correspondents tells us
about ensilage, hay, corn fodder,
bran, oats, corn, etc .,-sometimes they
even mention roots-but never a word
about pumpkins; and yet this old-time
food is one of great consequence. 1t
is easy of production, producing i'm
mense returns both for the ground
occupied and for the labor expended.
1t is relished by all kinds of neat
stock and by hogs. 1t is nourishing
and healthful for them at all seasons,
but more especially so during the early
winter months, when they first come
on to dry food. Mich COWS in par
ticlar r greatly benefited by at least
n mess daily. 1t is laxative and
anti-scorbutic-just the thing needed
/, when otherwise dry food alone is
available. Stored in a cool place that
does not freeze very hard, they can be
kept in good condition till February"
