what he has never had before
the united support of the

should have learned from ex-

cannot be trified with without

Representative Enlo-, of Ten

this action and declaring it 10
be in derogation of the dignity
OF the United States, and pro-
viding that a copy of the esolu-

located in this county all OF
them have been materially
effected by 'he public schools
near them, some have had to
suspend on their account and
some have literally died, and
the whole results from the
fuctuating patronage or the
lack of patronate traceabie to

cases they have crippled or

that every child should be

right. Ills fist school is the
most important one to which
he attends; he will either cnl-
vata a desire for knowledge
which may lead to high attain
ments, or he may form a dis
taste for books and study and
become careless for want Of in

MI. EDITOR: Please allow me
a short space in yonr valuable
paper this week 50 that my
communication will escape that
dreadful waste-basket. But be-
fore ! 70 into the full details
let ne step here and congratn-
late "Little Sleeper" for the ar
ticle that appeared in you paper
Of January lst as to his likes
and dislikes. He proposes to
do away with the County Board
of Education and let our County
Commissioners take ;harge OF
the business, which we think
prudent. Also to do away with
the County Superintendent, for
he prefers to let the money go
to the children, as it is useless
to have the County Superinten-
dent visit our schools. While
we are always glad to meet him
in our laborious work, yet we,
too, are compelled to say that
it is nensense to use the money
that belongs to the poor child
rem of North Carolina in this
way. Why not have man to
examine all the applicants, and
have said applicants to pay the
examiner at least one dollar for
his trouble. Now, as our gener-
al Assembly is in session, we do
trust that every citizen in North
Carolina will give it their full
attention, as we think there
should be some changes made,
and at once. And last, but not
least, do away with the County
Institute, as we think the profit
will not compensate for the
! cost.
We can say, with safety, that
"Lhttle Sleeper" gives the sen
timents of our township (MiDe D
as they say away with our I'M
necessary expenses. Let us heal
from Others, if they Can suggest
better plan than he did.

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Regular Correspondence


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10.
The merry jingle Of silver is
the music which the Senate has
provided for the people to
dance to, by the adoption of the
free coinage substitute for the
Financial bill which went
through in spite CT the deter
mined and extraordinary OPP
position Of the administration
and the republican leaders in
the Sanate.
The democratic party has
been committed TO free coinage,
as far as the Votes OF all the
Senators of the party with one
experimentation, of Nd can
do so, while the republican
party, of the eastern and mid
die States, are by the same
token committed against it. On
this ques tion of finance, the
most important in every coun-
try, the republicans Of the west
and northwest, if the votes Of
their Senator'S represent their
views, and the presumption is
that they do, seem to be in &C
cord with the democrats and
the Farmers Alliance, which
is much more powerful factor
in this matter than most poo
pie believe.
The most sensational feature
of the debate which preceded
the adoption Of the free coinage
amendment, was the speech of
Senator Ingalls, in favor Of free
coinage 1t was more than thu t.;
it was most speciously made
plea to the Farmers Alliance,
Legislature of Kansas to re-e.ect
him to the Senate. 1t was i'll
many respects the best and
most brilliant Grafton ever de-
livered by Mr. ingalls,, and had
he not have allowed his hatred
of the South to inveigle him
into a defense of the Force bill
which by the way, again has
the right of Way in the Senate,
at its open;n :, it would unboubt-
eddy have made him many
friends in that section, where,
as he probably knows, he now
has none AS it is, although it
was carefully listened to and
I'll of its strong points, and
there were many of them a.
gainst the monopoly and greed
of the growing money power
: were applauded to the echo, in
spite of the efforts of the Senate
officials to prevent it, it is re-
garded as the artificial plea Of
, ali Office seeker to obtain the
support of members of an orga
nization pledged to oppose his
re election to the Senate, and
1 not as representing his real
= sentiments. Nevertheless he
!, told his republic In colleagues
: and the republican President
=. who stand, Ieady, it is believed
t to veto free coinage, should the
I bill get through the House
S owe. the INSCRIPTIONS opposi-
: ton of Speaker Reed, some
: ruig1 ty truths about what the
Y people will do in the future
j should their wishes be thwart-
9 ed in this matter. But it was
j, casting pearls to swine. The
: republican party has never paid
: any attention to the wishes of
5 the people, unless they happen
: ed 10 coincide with those of the
e bosses of that party.
: John Bull must be trying to
Y give the dying republican party
a boom. AT least one would SO
suppose from his foolish action

That is an amusing situation
tc Democrats which is forced
upon the white Republican
Representatives from Wilkes"
in the House at Raleigh. He is
Mr.. J. l.. Bryan, and he has been
assigned ID a seat between two
negro Legislators of his own
palitical faith, and he swears he
will not sit there and if the
alternative is forced upon him
he will resign and return 10 his
constituency in the Estate of
Wilkes" Well, what if he does?
He surely does not expect a
white Democlat to sit between
those two negroes? Great Scot t!

The wife Of Senator Ingalls,
has been interviewed upon her
husbands political prospects.
She says that the senator is a
hero, ane brilliant, brainy
man who has achieved his
greatest success under difficult
ties. 1t is her opinion that lie
will be reelected, and she init
mates that if he is defeated the
country will inevitably go to
the doss.-State Chronicle.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1891-01-22

again there IS no expense tol
taxpayers.
Now why should such a school
be e. tablished? Because it is
one of the highest duties OF the
State to educate its girls, its
women. When the mothers of
a generation are educated, the
whole generation will be educa-
ted. Who ever knew All educa-
ted mother mo matter how
ignorant or worthless the hus-
band may be- to raise ignorant
children? But with an educated
father and an ignorant mother
and nine times out Of ten i. will
be all ignorant child. If we
can't educate but one Of the
sexes Of tie present generation,
then | had rather u dozen times
see the girls educated and let
the boys root fo" themselves.
Yet the fact is (and it is a
crying shame) that everything
that has so far been done Has
been for the boys. Not a single
appropriation or endow nent
for the girls i'll this whole State.
Hen"e it will cost a girl double
as much to get an education as
it does boy, which puts it be-
yond the reach Of all, save a
few. And what kind of an
education is it after they get it?
A little of what is called
''fooilsh." They are not taught
how to do anything, are there
fore dependent. They must
20 home and get married or al
ways be depended. To escape
such a fate many woman
marries a man unworthy Of her.
Let our girls have a showing
be educated to do something
and be Independent, and there
will be fewer worthless hus b.
ands. There are dozens OF
avenues open for our girls to
make a living, if they only haG
the training. ] was over yes
terday at the Agricultural AND
, Mecanical College and saw ou1
boys getting such practical nc
industrial training AZ every boz
, in the State from the richest tt
, the poorest should have. Shall
our girls not have similar train
? ing in an industrial school
Again, in the future the teach
ing in this State will be don,
t principally By women. Tn
kind of training the teacher
: have had, they Will impress up
= on their pupils, hence the tene
D ticent effects Of an industrial
Q and training school for our girl
r would soon be felt all over til
t State. Let us give our girls
t showing, teach them how to d
= s"mething and let delayed
e justice no longer be witbel,
e from the women OF North Care

k Now my friends considerin
