The American Book Company may be
wickedly determined, as the other book
publishers say, to retain its hold on the
school book business in West Virginia,
and in its effort to do this it may have
done its best to keep out the fifteen or
sixteen other concerns which have been
trying 10 take from the American Book
Company its West Virginia business.
All the same the action now taken by
the American Book Company answers
at least one argument OF those in and
out Of the Legislature who have been
hotly opposingit.
1t has been said that il the Legislature
adjourned without entering into con-
tract tho present contractors, being in
the field and having the whip hand
would charge exorbitant prices for
their books. The contractors have,
however, entered into an agreement and
given bond 10 continue to supply the
books according to the terms OF the
present contract until the next meeting
Of the Legislature, when the question
can be taken up again. This is fair
dealing toward the people who pay for
the books, and it is good business for
the publishers.
BY the time tho Legislature meets
again 1t is to DO hoped it may know
what 1t wants to do, aud that it may dc
1t before the end Of the session.

The New Dominion does not point out
theimaginary facts. Neither did Regent
Bennett in his recent letter TO the Regis
Ter. The best that Regent Bennett could
do was to say that as there was but one
month in which to spend the Govern
ment appropriation Of 1888, it had to be
used as it was or at would revert to the
Treasury and be lost to the State"
Regent Bennett evidently thinks it
better that the appropriation was lost to
the State and to the United States. The
appropriation was tquandered.

The long and heated Senatorial con-
test in Illinois has not been wanting IN
features Of personal interest, and these
to some extent have overshadowed the
wej.htier matters. The struggle has
been watched closely by politicians Of
all parties by reason of its possible intin'
ence on the future Of the farmers in pol
itics.
As far as tho personal features are
concerned there is not much to be said,
except that the result gratities the long
cherished ambition OF one man and dis
appoints the later born hopes Of several
others. With regard to the Farmers
Alliance, it seems clear that something
has happened, and that something is not
likely to help the political movement oil
the farmern.
Flrst OF all there will be dissatisfaction
in the ranks in Illinois. II cannot be
otherwise, for there are Republican far
mers who have gone into the movement
hoping to gain something through or
vanization that will benefit the business
in which they ore engaged, and who
have not entirely made up their minds
that the Alliance should DO bob to the
Democratic kite. Those who feel this
way about it will not be enthusiastic
over the success OF General Palmer, par
ticularly when they remember that one
OF their own number might have been
elected with the Republican aid which
came solidly on the last ballot.
Mr.. streetor, Of the Alliance, views the
results as Indicating the approaching
death Of the farmers organization. He
is Of the opinion that the association
will hereafter be regarded as an auxiliary
to the DemoCrotic party, and that the
influence OF the Association men who
helped to elect General Palmer will in
the end prove to have been the straw
that broke the cancels back. Mr..
strsetor further Gays that hencefoFth
the farmers organization will have "no
influence in the politics of illinois, and
very little influence in the politics oil
the country at large"
The Republicans have lost q seat In
the United States Senate, but they seem
to have gained some other things well
worth having.

HIGHER EDUCATION.

No one who has at all kept uI
with the times, can but notice the
interest that seems to be increasing
III .he matter of education in North
Carolina. And what is more graf
lying is the growing interest in the
matter of higher education.
twenty-five years ago, ifa boy
could parse according to the rules
Of Smiths Grammar, and cipher in
the Rule OF Three, he was cOnsid
cred a pretty well educated boy
Brit now there IS demand for the
classics, even by the farmer boy
The standard of education is being
raised all over the land.
The future will reveal even great
or desire for learning. Those who
are highly educated are going to be
rulers at all times, rulers in thought
and the rising generations must
know this and prepare themselves
for it. A good education is the
best gift father can give a son.

rHEALLIANCE CONVENTION.

Last week the convention CT the
Farmers Alliance Of North Carolina
put tie politician Of the State to
thinking. Clearly there came things
to light which seem to Indicate
that the third party Is almost Ger
tainty in North Carolina politics
There were many present who
made no bones in saying that they
we're third party men and they seem
ed 10 be in the m jorlty too. AS
the leaders of the Alliance are
mostly of that belief we may expect
to see the party start out soon with
banners waving amid the shouts OF
triumph.
Aswe have stated before, we are
in sympathy with the Alliance.
We are 10 sympathy with anything
that will bring good to the people of
our State. But we can't help from
altering one more note Of warning
before it is too late
The ultimate result will be to dl-
vide the democratic party aud put
the government into the hands OF
the Republican party. We Call up
IN the Alliance men of North Caro-
lima, the quondam Democrats, TO
pause before committing this grave
error. We cannot afford TO fight
the battle next fall with large part
OF our strength arrayed in hostile
lines.
Let the Alliance men think on
these things. "In union there is
strength" but in disunlon there
is weakness

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Ihe prime cause of most of the nevous
disorders and ailments with which hu-
manity is afflicted may be traced to in
digestion. The irritable man, the IN
happy woman, the fretfui child, contrive
to make all around them miserable,
They dose themselves for nervousness
and perhaps find temporary relief, only
to grow more nervous when tie invit.
able reaction comes. 1t is in such cases
that S. SIS. gives almost immedia re-
lief, 1t builds up the entire system,
purilies the blood, gives tone to the iii
gestive organs. restores the functions Of
the stomach, gives activity t. the liver
and puts al the nerves in tune with
healte and good humor. 1t is natures
great remedy, and never fails to give
relief.

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL,

Since the last issue of THE DEMO
GRAFT another one of Americas
worthless has yielded to the destroy
or. James Russell Lowell, a prom
inent man of letters, died in Cam
bridge, Mass, last week.
AS q literary character he stood
among the foremost Of the great
He was born among scholars, and
reared among those who had Won
fame with the pen. AS natural
consequence, however, he Inherited
a taste for literary pursuits, and
early trained himself in that dlrec
ton.
1t was Just as natural for young
Lowell to turn his attention te
literary pursuits, when he finished
his education, as it is for son tC
look out for his fathers interest
SO in his very youth he gave to the
world some OF his very best produc.
tions.
His literary career was long, and
during the whole oft he has ranked
among the greatest Of his age. liz
assigning him to his true place in
the ranks Of the famous literary
men Of the world, we would OF
course, place him far below Shakes
psare, Milton, or Pope. But while
we would hesitate to rank him
among the old world celebrities.
still fame WILL readily concede that
he wrote with a great deal of grace
and seriousness.
AS poet, essayist, and man OF
letters he has left a high place in
the American Literary world.

CAPT. KITCHENS LETTER,

In another place will be found a
letter from Hon. W. II. Kitcbin.
There are thoughts 10 it thas are

democrats and Alliance men to
consider it.

win the battle next year.
1t does seem to US that with as
little difference as there is between
democrats and Alliance men,
the difference could be settled, and
harmony preserved. We all favor
the Alliance demands, but we differ
Oh methods. There ought not to be
any trouble, il we could get these
demands, about the method. Let
Alliance men and democrats think
on these things and thy to come to-

REDUCING THE ACREAGE

Tie Georgia Alliance is taking
actiYe steps for the reduction of the
acreage OF the next cotton crop
That is a good move. Farmers are
very much in their own light when
they glut the market with any kind
of product, and then continue to keep
it glutted.
We want to hear Of such a thing
as .'corner" on cotton; and that
can meyer be as every farmer in the
South PERSISTS in planting twenty
acres Of cotton to the horse. Nine
millions of bales are enough for two
years, and if the crop were to be re-
duced one-half next year, there
would certainly be an upward ten
dency in the price.
Bat every farmer, we suppose
thinks his neighbor will plant half
crop while he will take adyantag e
of the situation, and plant foil
crop; and TINS reap a harvest which
will bring him in a big profit.
We are glad the Alliance are NOV
ing in this direction, and will com.
pei every member to plant not more
than ten acres to the horse. With
such state of affairs there would
soon he rapid advance in the price
of cotton and q consequent increase
in the prosperity of the country.
