This calls to mind the statement made
ono day last week by a stakeholder of q

his qualification at the election OF Nc
Kinley. A Bryan man, who had been

that had followed McKinley's election.
The answer was the cotton mill in which
he was a stockholder had lost ten thou
sand dollars before the election, but since
then it had made a little money. The
Bryan man was still not content and
pressed for more specific information. lie

said: 1.-THE PRICE OF COTTON HAS
GONE DOWNS That is to say, the
only better condition that had come to
this manufacturer was due to the loss
sustained by the farmers. This is the

No true Populist will help them to do

The Boys Hard at Work Manly Spirit
OF the Students

Chapel Hill, N. c., Dee. 22.-(SpeciaD
The fall term here is drawing to it's
close. The lights are burning late in
all the buildings and all the talk is OF
examinations and grades.
The term has been a remarkable one
in many respects.
First. In the largest attendance in our
history The numbers, including duplicates
and including summer school amount
to 525. Excluding summer school, the
attendance is 375. The Christmas aces
sions will carry this number beyond 400
We already have the largest number of
academic students in the South
Second, In the warm and hearty rela-
tons between the president and faculty
and the student body.
DIR. Alderman has melted out kindly
justice to all in absolute sincerity, cOur-
tesy and firmness, and the students have
responded in n manly and helpful way.
The entire term has been noted for Just
this spirit Of common interest and zeal for
the purposes for which we are all here.
Third, The spirit OF self-heIp and self
sacrifice shown by the students in their
desire for an education.
They manage boarding clubs, set type
work in laboratories, serve as steno-
graphers and type-writers, sell books and
clothing, clerk in stores, wait in com
mons, cut their own wood, and do other
kinds of honorable work
The following statistics will be Of in
terest:
Certain questions were asked of all the
student body. Answers were handed in
by 150 students and out Of these the
following remarkable facts appeared:
Number supporting themselves who'll
ly While mere. .............. %
Number supporting themselves in
part OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. ~
Number living on money saved before
coming. ................ 10
Number living on borrowed money. 20
Number who have taught. ... 81
Number who expect to teach. ...... 81
Fourth, In the spirit Of brotherhood
and equality everywhere evident. There
are rich boys here, but no snobs. Men
rise or fall by merit and there is the
best of feeling between all sects, parties
and conditions.
There is a many sided life here both
in diversions and study and Tie men
who go in for athletics, or music or phil
osophy, or literature or science, have
each his opportunity Especially to be
noted is the earnest revival in the literary
work of the Dialectic and Philanthropic
societies. These famous old organiza-
tons are remodelling themselves on the
new and enlarged conditions of student
life, and genuine work is being done.
There has also been much improvement
in the outward side OF things, especially
the changes in the chapel and the improve
ments about Commons Hall, which by the
way, is fast winning its way into the
favor Of all.
The students read, with interest, all
the public matter relating to the Univer-
sity, but knowing it as they do, they
have no fear that any representative set
of North Carolina men, assembled in
Legislature, viii ever fail to protect and
maintain it.

his election to the negro vote. They
want to provide more Of them before
1900. They had best beware. The bal
lot was given the negro in 1868 in order
to perpetuate Republican domination in
the South. The wrong act rose to pun
ish those who perpetrated it for partisan
considerations. The right of Cuba for
self-goyernment appeals to all patriots.
We want to see it enjoy independence,
but we want no more negro States in

in order to get time. He succeeded. In
stead of denouncing Weyler, it is Olney
who receives the denunciations. But the
Senate ought not to be diverted from ear

question this week and the Cuban next.
