Educating iha Masses.

Macauly says: "The edu-
cation of common people is
the surest means of securing
our persons and our proper
ty."
Everett says: "Education
is a better safeguard of liher-
ty than a standing army"
The facr asserted by these
men, living-in different coun.
tries and atsdiffereDt times is
noless true today.
Our future prosperity de-
pends upon the better ed,tca-
tion Of our masses. There is
a growing neglec ofeducation
through our country.
Our public schools are not
cared for as they should he.
They are the great bulwark
of our liberties. They are
the only source of education
for a great majority OF our
children. They are the gold
en- sunshine that has wal med
into life the seeds OF knowl-
edge IN many fertile minds,
who e, ACHIEVEMENTS have
been of the highest value to
humanity. There never was
a time when our country
ne,,ded the service of good
schools SO much AS the pres

shoul be tanght by the best
ofteachers and supplemented
by Il couple of months sub.

Kinston Free Press: The
editor of this paper believes
in carrying out the Democrat
ic platform, and t h a + t h e
president elected on that
platform, should be governed
somewhat by the advice OF
the Democratic leaders in
Congress who favor a com
promise on the silver Ques-
tion. We think it very un-
becoming of Que man to as
sumo that. he alone can right
ly interpret the Democratic
platform on finance. Cleve.
lands course, if pursued to
the end, we believe it. will
wreck the party. The Free
Press is in line with the Chic
ago platform and if that is
not Democracy We don't
know what Democracy is. We
are not II ''hero worshiper"
and do not endorse what
Cleveland does, not in ac-
eordance with Democratic
principles, simply because he
is Cleveland and was elected
by the Democratic party. II
to refuse to endorse all that
Cleveland does or does not,
prevents US from being q
Democrat, then we are. not a
Democrat.

vanceO n The Repeal Bill.

Washington Correspondent At
lanta Constitution.
81 think undoubtedly that
the bill will tievei pass with
out an amendment said Mr..
Vance.
"But the unconditional re-
peal men have a majority
what are you going to do a.
bout that?"
"A majority in thelast Con
gress wanted to pass t h e
force bill. I believe in t h e
rights Of a majority. l can't
say that the minority have
determined to talk indefinite
ly, but the more they talk
the weaker the repeal men
are becoming. The banks are
very angry and are threaten
ing to give another squeeze,
because the Senate is not in
a hurry. The longer we are
in passing a bill, the less
pressure from the public, be-
cause the people cannot help
but see that the Sherman
law had but little to do with
the hard times We have gone
through, and that prosperi'
ty. notwithstanding theexis-
tence of the Sherman law, is
returning and business is re-
suming all over the country.
The pressure is only kept up
nv a few men. There is no re
ality in the pretenses they
are making"
"Do you bellevv that free
coinage Senator's can force a
compromise? | asked.
81 do not empha atically."
"Have they an dea of yiei-
ding to the pressure OF the
administration
"No sir, we have no idea OF
yielding 70 any pressure OF
the administration or to the
banks.
"The administration will
have to meet you half way?"
eyes, sir, Mr.. Cleveland
will have to meet us half way
or else we will all s tsy at
at home. He wants uncOn-
ditional repeal or nothing.
He calls us here in extra SEES
sion and says repealthls bill,
pointing us to the platform
requiring its repeal; and we
say: Will you put something
else in accordance with the
platform? No, he says it
must be repeal. Well, We say,
won't you permit something
to 20 with the repeal? He
says, nothing. Mr.. Voorhees,,
" hen asked, has nothing to
say. The closest man to the
President on the question,
Secretary of the Treasury,
when asked what will come
after the repeal, is silent.
Why We would be a pretty
set of fools to blindly repeal
the Sherman law without
knowing what is to come al
ter. 1t is unreasonable. Rea-
son will tell in the long run
and our constituency will scr
that. The President deals in
mystery and rather gives it
out to be understood that il
is not becoming in him to
say what he is going to do.
We are not going to allow
that repeal bill to pass with.
out knowing the consequen-
|ces."

this fight. They will not be
bull dozed into passing the
repeal bill withoutany under
standing"
"On what would they com.
promise?" -
"They would take Faulk-
ner's amendment with a lit.
tie trimming up, extending
the amount to be coined to
a thousand million and then
stop. I would he willing to
do this because that would
furnish us with enough coin.
Fanlkner's amendment pro
vides for the purchase a n d
coinage Of 30, 100000 Of sill
YER monthly until the total
amount If silver shall have
reached $500, 600, ,OOO."
"Would you accept a COM
promise providing for t b e
coinage of all the bullion now
in the Treasury" (
"No, that would not be &C.
cepted by the silver men.
What we want is the contin-
ued coinage of silver. The
silver in the Treasury IS now
represented by these Treasu-
ry notes, and, therefore, the
coinage of it would only be
in compliance with the Sher
man law, which provides for
the coinage sufficient of it. to
redeem the notes when pre-
sented. TO coin this silver
would not increase the vol
ume OF currency. We want
to d. that. Therefore we will!
not accept such an offer.
What we want is either the
free coinage OF silver or the
continued parchase and coin
age If silver up to $500, 900,
900 or 81 900, 900, 600"
What, in your opinion,
will he the result of the fight?
II think we will win t b e
fight. The very moment the
President sees that he cannot
pass the bill unconditional
ly, then we will see what he
will do. As long az he thinks
he can do just as he pleases
he is going to do nothing.
Some of our men, who want
an amen im ent, will prOba-
bly, pursue the same course
an members OF the House did.
Should all the amendments
be voted down, they will vote
for repeal."
EDO you think you will
pass some amendment?''
"Oh, yes. On some one u
mendment we will have a ma
iority. l am sure ofthat. The
administration Senator's are
weakening"

Our Trip to Jefferson.

We attended court at Jef.
fers0n and remained several
days. There was a large
crowd in attendance. Ashe
county has many substan-
tial citizens and well-t0-dO
farmers. The business men
of Jefferson are complaining
of hard times as do all 9th
ers. Money is very scarce
and hard to get. Very few
of our subscribers paid any
thing. We met Bro. Carson
of the Star making efforts to
collert subscription money.
We stopped with Jolly Mart
Hardin, and we venture to
say that II you want goo 1
things to eat and kind item
ton shown you, the Noun.
tain Hotel is the proper place
to get them. Mrs. Hardin is
very attentive and knows
how to make her guests pleas
ant and comfortable. The
Inn is now kept by Col. Geo.
Reeves and family and t h e
people speak of the Inn in a
favorable manner. We we're
the recipient of kind atten-
tion by many OF our friends
while at Jefferson, especially
50 from DR.. Coward and his
most excellent wife. We have
a very kind feeling for t Ii &
people of Jefferson. We can
number them among our tru
est friends.
From Jefferson we went up
North Fork. We have a fat,
jolly brother up there and re.
manned with him several
days. We had Il special per-
init to inspect the post Office
at Clifton. which we did with
entire satisfaction to our
selves and we hope to t h e
post master also. We are OF
the opinion that there is no
b e t ter section of country
than North Fork. The land
is rich and productive for all
the grain and grasses. The
people live easy and bounti-
fully. We stayed On our way
at Sutherland with our good
friends J. H. Hardin ana wife
and met with the kindness
that all receive who 8 t Op
with them. At Sutherland
there is one of the prettiest
and most interesting loca-
tions that can be found. The
lands are fine and the people
are thrifty and are in peace
and plenty.
During our stay at Jeffer-
son we had to talk politics
of course. We found a gener
al dissatisfaction amoEg the
democrats They arsdivided
sOmewhat.on the silver ques-
ltion. The anOst We talked
with, however, endorse the
administration and think the
silver Senator'S ought to vote
for the repeal bill and then
have the proper legislation
on the currency question. We
had an interview with Lieut.,
! Gov. Doughton and Hon. W.
C. Fields. They both express
themselves as anxious lor the
Senate to do something at
occe, that the country de.
manded action and expect re
llei to cone through legisla.
