BuTLER FOR TnE UNIVERSITY

| In the Caucasian Marion But
Ter, who is, by the way, a truste,
and a graduate Of the University
and one Of its most earnest friends
antagonizes the Baptist memoria
which asks the withdrawal of ap
preparation. The two fusionists
chairmen are in line on this sub.
ject. Chairman Holton, Repub.
lican, says positively that the ap-
preparation will not be reduced;
that he opposes any curtailment
|of State aid; that he takes the
high ground that the State, or no
political party in it, can afford to
60 backward in the matter Of
education. Holton spoke with
much earnestness and a very pub
lic-spirited way in regard TO this
this matter. The Caucasian says:
"a memorial is presented TO the
Legislature, signed by a commit
tee Of the Baptist State Conven-
tion, asking that the State reverse
its policy of higher education and
gradually withdraw all aid from
the University and the other high
er institutions. The request vir-
tually is that the State withdraw
entirely from the field of higher
education. This seems to us en-
tirely impossible. North Caro-
lima cannot consent TO be the only
Southern State without a system
of higher public institutions. We
need more education, not less.
There is need of both Church and
State to work for higher education.
Let the State institutions be care
fully inspected and let any mis-
Management be exposed and cor
rected. But they must not be de-
stroyed, for this is to stab the State
in a vital point" The RECORDER
agrees with Butler on this point.
Rev. G. Durham, the handspring
Of the anti:University movement,
comes out in a card in the Cauca-
sian and says that this higher
education question will be taken
into the campaign in 1896. The
Caucasian thereupon says that
"as TO this thrust we have no fear
as 10 the result Of any such ac-
ton" s

EIGHT DOLLARS IN HIS POCKET

Some young American, ambiti-
GUS but Handicapped by being
well born and well cared for,
once said, "0ne can't amount
to anything in this country un-
less he's born in Ireland Of be-
gins as a bootblack or a news
boy" Illustrious examples
bear out his statement. 1t is
said that David B. Hill, about
whom we occasionally hear
these days, is a Connecticut
farmers son, and when eleven
years Of age went to Syracuse to
make his fotune, with $s in his
pocket. He met Dean Rich
mond, president Of the New
York Central, and made q busi-
ness proposal to that gentleman
which he accepted, more out of
amusement than confidence.
Hill became a train boy, selling
candy and papers or the train
between New York and Albany.
In fact, he was the pioneer train
merchant on the New York Gen.
tral railroad. When he retired
from this lucrative employment
he was the possessor Of $500.

aware that their southern compel.
| itors can obtain an abundance o.
capital and of labor, can get as
many skilled operatives from the
north as may be needed, can manu-.
facture the finer grades of goods,
and can market both the coarse and
the fine grades more cheaply than
they can be- marketed from New
England. Some of the northern
mill owners who had established
branches in the Carolinas and Geor-
gia, are transferring their plants to
these states because of the superior
facilities obtainable there. The
truth is that the change, which be-
gan in small way few years ago,
has steadily increased in magni-
tude, and has become a matter of
gravity more especially for Massa-
chussetts and Connecticut. 1t is
folly to try any longer to belittle
that change.-New York Sun.

ing of Stanly county Jail at Albe-

colored inmates, and when the FIRE
was discovered it had gone too
far to be checked. The Jail was
entirely consumed. Buildings near
by were several times in danger,
but were saved by hard work. Six
prisoners were in the Jail at the
time. All were rescued. A crazy
man who was kept in the Jail dis

There IS now pending before the
legislature a proposed law which
is known as the "Two.Cent Fare
Bill" It is probably natural that
Texas, like all other comparative
ly new states, should at each re-
curing session Of the legislature
have more or less legislation to
consider, enact or amend, touching
railroads and their management.
Railroad companies and the public
expect this. II is the natural re-
suit Of growth Of communities and
expansion Of private industries
and public enterprises. When ju
dicious and unhurtful legislation
proposed, no objection should be
urged against II. Mach Of the
legislation that has been enacted
in Texas touching railroads has
been based on wisdom and tem-
pered with fairness. Some Of II
has been on the opposite kind.

Colorado no longer depends
upon silver as ker chief resource
The Increase of gold production in
that state has been remarkable.
The Colorado output Of gold leaped
from s7,soa, 900, in 1898 to SI2,-
100000 in 1894, bringing the state
for the first time very close to the
record Of California, and every
thing indicates that il will lead the
list this year. The discoveries of
gold at Leadyilie are considered
fully as important as those of sill
yer fifteen years ago; Cripple Greek
Is doing equally well; Dreede bids
fair to become gold camp; Boul-
der county is producing largely,
and many old mines which could
not be proftsbly worked before
now pay well by reason of new
processes which have been in
vented. The effect Of all this upon
the spirits Of Colorado people is
excellent. .~.
That state is the head center of
the free silver craze, but since Its
people have learned that their pros
perity does not depend upon silver,
they are comingEto take q more
sensible view Of the currency cues.
tlon. Even the Rocky Mountain
Times admits that Colorado will
prosper whether We have the free
coinage Of silver or not.
There are evidences sccumula-
ting every day to show that the
people are coming to their senses
