An Work and no Pay.

Some years ago the legisla-
ture repealed the portion of the
school law which allowed the
school law committeeman some
compensation for taking the
public school census. Some of
the committeeman now say
they cannot afford to do the
work without pay, and as q re-
suit do not do It at all. This is
bad for the schools, as upon
such census returns the appor-
tionment of the public schools
fund is made in january. The
committeeman ought to either
lend a hand in this matter or
withdraw. The State superin-
tendsnt of public instruction
urged the Legislature to again
enact the law allowing compen-
satien, but the legislature did
nothing. State Chronicle.

AT a Brooklyn banquet the

Grand Army of the Republic,
got off another of his ludicrous
ebullitions against the Confed-
crate flag, which he denominat-
ed "the sinking, dirty rag of
treason" but this was not
strong enough to fully express
the rawlings Of this fanatic, 80
he had TO emphasize il with an
inelegant "cuss" word.
Palmer takes the cake as a
silly South-hater and blathers-
kite. His statements are ludi
crous, and look more like the
rawlings Of a lunatic, who had
gone crazy on the subject oil
Confederate flags, than the ex.
pressions Of a man occupying
the position Of Commander in.

Taking Him To Task.

The New York World is pub
fishing some red hot articles
upon the tariff under the head
of "The Tariff Mule and the
Protection Bunco. Steerers."
One Of the latest articles is writ
en- by a correspondent and takes
to task J. G. Prichard, president
of the North Carolina League
of Protection, who, it seems,
has written an article in reply
to a former one by this cores
pondent. -~.
1t is a most scathing article.
A portion of the article goes on
to say: 8
"He cannot face the direct
and unequivocal statement of
the last census that while the
total amount paid in wages in
the industries in North Carolina
between 1860 and 1880, under
twelve full years of Protection,
had not increased, or had incre.
ased only from s., 6S9, AL to g.
740, 76S, the number of workers
among whom it was divided
had increased from IA, 2l7 to 49,
100 and the value to the master
of their product from $l6,67S,-
COS to $20,095, 037-showing a
decrease of twenty per cent. He
lodges and avoids, complaining
that | take the figures for 1850,
as if there were any official fig
ures of later date. He tries to
shift the discussion to tables
compiled by Tom, Dick and
Harry out Of their imagination,
or from insufficient data. This
is the trick of every clever Pro
lection swindler. He picks out
particular months that will give
him a point, or years not census
years which have no sworn re,
turns to show his fraud.

that the postmaster general recommends,
