North Carolina and North Car
olinians.
lJosephus Daniels in the North Carolinian !

IJosephus Daniels in the North Carolinianl
There is not a town in North Car
olina that has not contributed many
of its brightest young men to swell
the tide of emigration that flows toward
the West. But, even with the odds
against US, l still believe that if most
North Carolina boys, who will stay at
home and work as hard as they are
compelled to work when they 60 away,
will win as much reputation and make
as comfortable living as elsewhere.
They may not make as mnch money
but they will get as much out of life.
There is no doubt about the fact that,
while there is something Of toadyism
to wealth in North Carolina, there is
very little in comparison to the toady-
ing that Characterizes other sections.
A poor man with character and CapaC-
ity stands better and higher in North
Carolina than any State in the Union,
and little money will 60 further. 1t
makes little difference whether a man
gets 81 900, 81, 900 or $4,000 year.
1t makes no difference about the cost
of living. In North Carolina $4,000
will give a man as many comforts as
$4,000 will in this city, and more than
$4,000 will in New York. Besides,
while we have a great deal of talk in
North Carolina to the effect that we
are wanting in State pride, ] do not
believe it. North Carolinians love
their State as we'll as any people, and
none ever leave it who do not fondly
cherish its good name. There is a
comradeship among North Carolinlans
you do not find among other people.
Take South Carolina for example.
You will find that the people OF
Charleston feel an attachment for the
people of their city but they do not
know the people of the State at large
as we do in North Carolina. We have
less exclusion and more Comradeshlp
and exchange of friendships between
people of all sections of the State than
you will find IN any other state
in the Union. We have our disvlslons
and dissensions, but they heal up and
we stand together in ma tiers outside.
Sometimes we allow our jealousles to
keep down ambitious men, and preJu-
dices are not wanting among us, but
believe there is as little of this as IN
most commonwealths. And notwith-
standing the depression in the price Of
our staple crops, our people do not sit
down and cry about it. We are build
ing new factories and opening new rn
terprises. The very poverty of a:.:r,
culture is driving our people ln'o
other pursuits, and never before III tn,
history of the State was there more
activity in manufacturing. With large
factories of all kinds there will come a
better demand for milk, butter and
truck products that will open a new
era to agriculture, and work a revolu-
ton in our worn out method of de-
voting everything to cotton and
tobacco.

[JOsephus Daniels in the North Carolihian /!
had an excellent view of Mr..
Cleveland and his wife yesterday while
they were out driving. 1t was mag
nlhcent pair of horses they were be-
hind, as they were driven leisurely
along on Connecticut avenue. l had
a good opportunity to study the face
of young wife Of our great Chief Mag
istrate. l had not seen her since 1887,
and while there has been a marked
change in her, it has all been for the
better. There is more maturity and
equlpoise in her face, which wears an
expression of kindliness, peace and
satisfaction. She is beautiful woman,
though her beauty is not dazzling. 1t
is a beauty that will last. There is
that repose and self-reliance in her
face that SO we'll becomes a young
mother, and there is not wanting
gentleness and grace. Her pictures
do not do her justice. Like most
women, whose beauty has the staying
quality, she looks best in black or
dark. There was in her face an ex-
preston of quiet satisfaction, and not
tinge of tired or hauteur which is
SO frequently seen upon the face of
those whose position makes them OBJ
served Of all. TO be sure she ought
to be satisfied, for she apparently has
all that heart could wish, but it is not
always that those who have the highest
position are the happiest or most con-
tented. On the contrary, | have OBJ
served that the happiest women l have
known are not ordinarily those who
are in the public gaze, or leaders of
society.
Mr.. Cleveland looks some older
than he did four years ago, but bears
no trace of that weariness which ar
duous labors and worry usually bring.
He sat by his wife's side, wearing a
shining new beaver, and looked like
he hadn't lost a minutes sleep about
the offices and the press upon him.
He looked like one who felt the " full
ness of content" and seemed to have
that quiet pride and satisfaction which
good man feels in having been hon
ored by the love of a beautiful and
true woman. | do not believe in
"gush" or in ascribing all the graces
and projections to men and women
in high places. There are women in
lowly places quite as kindly and as
beautiful as Mrs. Cleveland, who bear
burdens cheerfully and are denied the
pleasures and honor that fill her cup
to the brim. | have written my i'm
preston of her, and if | didn't think
she was gracious and winsome woman
| would not say SO, if she were the
wife of king. 1t is pleasant to know
/ that we have such a wife and mother
in the White House. 1t belongs to
us all and if we couldn't feel pride in
the wife of our great Democratic
President, it would be a cause for
genuine regret.

THE CURRENCY ISSUE.

Every effort ought to be made that
is consistent with the safety of the
business interests Of the country to
postpone the consideration of the
currency question until after the
revision of the tariff. Secretary
Carlisle is convinced that the monetary
conditions are daily becoming more
satisfactory. Gold is coming in in
adequate amounts, and although there
have been occasional renewals of the
foreign demand for it there seems
to have come an end to anything
approaching lack of confidence in the
Treasury.
The financial authorities at Wash
ington, agreeing with Mr.. Carlisle,
are hopeful that the problem can be
solved without drawing the question
into the arena of immediate political
debate. The main issue on which
Mr.. Cleveland was elected was that OF
the tariff. That is the issue upon
which there is most harmony among
Democratic Congressman, and that is
the one also in which the people of
the country are most deeply con-
cerned.
The money question is no longer
confined to silver coinage. 1t now
embraces the whole subject of our in
congruous paper currency and IN
wolves the entire system Of banking.
Moreover, it cannot be determined
without a solution of the difficulties OF
those communities that have not
proper banking facilities in other
words, that are not possessed Of proper
credit tokens for the transaction Of
their business.
The settlement of such problems
will require very many months of
deep study and thorough discussion.
And in the mean time it would not be
fair to the people who have demanded
by an enormous majority that they
shall be relieved from the burdens Of
tariff taxation imposed upon them by
the Mckinley act that the reform OF
that act should be postponed.
|. is probable that the Administra-
ton will be able to take such steps as
will convince the country and the
financial world that a proper solution
of the monetary question will be
eventually reached, and that in the
mean time American securities will
remain safe investments. This being
done, the attention of those who will
be intrusted with the task of reforming
the tariff will not be distracted, and
the promises made by the Democrat,
can be fulhlled.-NewY York W0rla.

AS to Education.
(SaliSbury Herald

The Norfolk Landmark, comment
ing on the recent decisin of Hon. J.
l.. M. Curry, trustee of the Peabody
and Slater funds for education in the
South, to the effect that whatever
money is to be devoted to the negro
population out of the fund over which
he has direction shall be spent for in
dustrial rather than the literary educa
ton of that race, very truly says:
"It has been fully demonstrated by
the experience of more than twenty
years that literary education is of
no practical value to the negro
population, when carried beyond the
mere primary studies. The tendency
indeed, has been to make the great
majority of those who have received
even an ordinary literary education
worthless for all the practical pur-
poses Of life, and to unfit them totally
for their position in the world. 1t
spoils the negro, and does not con-
vert him into anything else that is
useful.
"The children soon get to think
themselves better than their parents,
refuse to recognize home authority,
scorn the work of servant, and be-
come, to all intents and purposes,
burden upon the public. They can
neither earn by their learning, which
has not been directed to any definite
purpose, nor can they make it in any
sense ornamental or valuable as a
social attribute. They can not under
stand abstract truth, such as higher
mathematics, for example, and they
are really crippled by the character
o: the education which has been given
them, with the best intentions and a;
tremendous expense.
"All Of the State governenments
should come to the same conclusion
that DR.. Curry has reached, and from
this time forward devote whatever
money is to be allotted to the educa-
ton of the negro children to primary
and industrial departments. The
high school feature should be dropped,
except for few normal schools, where
it is necessary, perhaps, to train teach
ers of that race for that race; and, in
such cases, those who are chosen for
that purpose should be selected with
the greatest discrimination, and after
thorough test of their mental capa-
billty."

If the United States wanted or expect
ed to take Hawaii at all, the right time to
do so was when it was first offered to U.S.
There were no vexatious and harassing
questions. Other nations made no OBJ
lection. The enthusiasm of the Ha-
waiians who wanted annexation was
redhot. Now on second thought some
of them are not so sure they wanted an
nezation after all, and all the ifs and
butts of the average vacillating human
mind have had time to come uppermost.
Japan wants Hawaii herself, and Eu-
ropean nations are beginning to think it
would never do to let the United States
have these islands. So it goes always.
Merely vote at the right time, followed
simply by signature, and it would have
been all settled, and President Cleveland
would now disappointing postmasters in
