THE contestant for the seat of
Monroe, Democrat, from Wayne
county, in the House, made poor
case. 1t appears that he thought it
would only be necessary for Rep or
Pop to contest, regardless of facts.
In this case, the facts were SO glar-
ingly in favor of the Democrat that
even a Fusion Legislature did not
have the audacity to ignore them.
1t was shown that Monroe had a
majority of u over and above
everything claimed by Person, the
contestant.

Dumb Brutes Possess an Un erring

Correspondence of the Sentinel.
SHOE, Feb. 5.-The writer was
forcibly impressed a few evenings
ago with the fact that dumb brutes
certainly possess an unerring in
stinct. / had returned home from
church about eleven O'Clock at night
lit was fearfully dark. Missing the
stable that my horse usually occu
pied / proceeded to turn him in an
other near by which was empty and
exactly the same, but our smart fflly
refused to enter. tried coaxing but
failing in that undertook coerc GA.
with no better success For nearly
an hour I worked with that horse
but never could get him in. Finally
happened to touch the next door
in the dark and upon opening it the
horse bounded in with a rush.
Since then q hunter tells me of the
wonderful instinct of rabbits. Hesays.
upon one occasion he lay in ambush
while the hounds were chasing a
rabbit around him. While watching
the rabbits antics he says he saw it
double time and run back in it's same
tracks in order to mislead the
hounds and would then lick it's feet
and bound off into the woods, where
upon the hounds would invariably
lose it's trail. This was remarkabls
instinct.
Another hunter tells me of watch
ing q fox, which was covered with
AuUrayatinu insects on tn n r1nnd
and gradually lower itself into the
water until every insect was forced
70 the tip of it's nose and thatit then
plunged beneath the waves leaving
all the multitude of insects floating
on the surface This was another in
stance OF true animal instinct.

When it is cold and the cat wants to

PUBLIC EDUCATION.


North Carolina should take many
steps forward in the matter of public
education. She is behind many of
her sister States in this important
respect and any movement looking
to the crippling of her educational
institutions is TO be deeply deplored.
just now strong efforts are being
made to reduce the comparatively
small appropriation made by the
State to the University, the very
head of our public educational sys-
TEN. Indeed, some go SO far as to
favor the complete withdrawal of the
appropriation. Now, in all candor,
it strikes us that this position is sus
ceptible of either one or the other of
two constructions: It's advocates
are wiser than other people; or they
would commit a greater folly than
other people, for these reasons:
1. Our forefathers recognized the
necessity for State University and
engrafted the following words in our
first Constitution: "All useful learn
ing shall be duly encouraged and
promoted in one or more Univer
sities.''
2. Every Constitution since that
time has embraced the same prin-
ciple.
3. In other States Universities are
fostered and in only one, within our
knowledge, is so small sum appro-
priated or this purpose as in North
Carolina.
IF a State University is not a good
thing it does seem that somebody
would have found it out long before
this and have put stop to the ex-
penditures made for that purpose.
The assaults upon our University,
in which every North Carolinian
should take pride end should wish to
see it's sphere of usefulness enlarged,
does not argue for our appreciation
Of higher education.
Some of the advocates of the with
drawal of an appropriation contend
that the $4,000 should be taken
from the University and applied to
the public schools. We are in favor
of lower education as well as higher
eduaction. One is the foundation
for the other. We are also in favor
of meeting the requirements OF the
Constitution with reference to our
public chools, viz that they should
be maintained at least four months
during the year. How much longer
would this additional $4,000 keep
the public school doors open? just
one day and a half in the year.
Now, would this short period COM
pensate for the injury inflicted upon
the University by the withdrawal of
the appropriation? We think not.
The University is the property of
the State, just as much SO as the
capitol, the asyiums or any of the
State institutions, and it is the duty
of the custodians of the States prop
erty to protect it and they should
take pride in performing this duty.
Because W. favor public lower and
higher education we are not unfriend
ly to private lower and higher edu
cation. We are an advocate of
everything that educates and ele
Yates our boys and girls and better
fits them for the various duties of
life. There are spheres OF usefulness
for all our educational institutions
and there are better ways for build
ing them up than by try ing to i'm
pair the usefulness of the University

Telephone In Courts.

An interesting experiment is being
tried in London in the use of the tele-
phone. The lord chief justice has
given permission for the placing of a
transmitter in the royal courts of
justice in such position as to catch
every sound within the apartment.
1t is proposed in this way to enable
solicitors and others interested IN
cases tried in the court to listen to
what is going on while at a distance.
The test is at present confined to the
lord chief Justices own court, but if
it proves successful, telephones will
shortly be introduced into other
courts for the same purpose.
