SHALL BOTH BE PAIL?

There are always numbe OF
contests for seats in the General
Assembly. The present session OF
the General Assembly of North
Carolina has been no exception.
Of course the adherents OF each
contestant are::--interested IN the
question as to who shall hold the
seat, but there is another question
which the voters and taxpayers
are interested IN, aud that IS this /:
Shall both the contestants be paid
for their time and also. mileage for
going to and from the capital
1t Is self>evident that in every
contest one is entitled to the seat
and the other is not. Now, this be-
ing true, it is not right for DO th
men to receive pay for the time
and expense incurred in the con-
test.
The man who raises the contest
does it at his own risk and il he fails
to obtain his seat he ought to 60
back home without q cent for his
trouble.
If the man who takes his seat first
with the honest conviction that he
is entitled to 1t and with the proper
certificate, is unseated, it is not
right that both the successful and
unsaccessful contestants should
receive pay.
1t ought tv be left with the legis-
lature to say whether one shall have
full pay a1d the other none, or
whether it shall be divided between
the contestants; but 1t is quite clear
that the State ought not to pay
for the time of two men and get
the service Of only one.
And this rule ought to hold with
Congress as well as with legislatures.

THE UNIVERSITY AND The
COLLEGES.

There IS much dissatisfaction
throughout the State regarding
the appropriations made by the
State to the University. The die
satisfaction does not come from
the bare fact that the State makes
an annual appropriation to the
University; but from the fact that
the University remains in compc.
tltlon with other colleges of the
State.
No true North CorOllnian can be
uniiiendly to the University. On
tue contrary, every true North Car
Gilman is proud of the University
and wants to see 1t far more efficient
than it ever has been.
But the trouble that seems to
be arising in every quarter Of the
State comes from the tact that the
colleges Of the State-.the aenOmina.
tionaI cOlleges--have nearly or quite
as high standard OF scholarship, as
shown by their currlcula. as the
University and are yet compelled
to compete with the University
with the STATE appropriations be.
hind it.
Viewed from one standpoint,
this clash between the University
and the denominationaI colleges is
to be regretted; but viewed from
another standpoint 1t may be we'll
for the interest of higher education
in the State. If this clash ls to
continue without amicable adjust
ment, it is to be regretted; but II
it shall be the means OF raising
the University to be Uni.
verslty in reality and not In
name merely, then we'll done for
North Carolina that these ques-
lions have come up.
And The DEMOCRAT believes
that this strife will continue SO
long as the State makes appropri.
ations to the University and 1t con-
tinues to compete with the denomi-
national colleges. The people of
the State will oppose the appropri-
alton just as long as this state of
affairs continues. If the Univer,
slty curriculum can be raised so
high that 1T will not compete with
any interest of denominatiOnal col
iege lower than the senior year in
any college, then the State may
make ali the appropriation it
phases, and no one will say aught
against it. Every true and loyal
North Carolinlan will rejoice to see
the day when we shall have such
a University; but until then there
will be dissatisfaction all along
che line and the interest of higher
in Its truest sense will be
hammered
