ART AND RELIGION.
No Occasion for the Church to Bor
row Music.
From the Washington Post

From the Washington Post
Art should not be permitted to
exaltitself over religion. There is no
occasion for music in churches that
carries the minds of the hearers into
the opera house and recalls the stage
settings, the prima donna, the
orchestra and the ballet. The lesson
of q grand oiera, with it's inevitable
tragedy, may be wholesome to many
minds, but the church is not the
place, nor is the hour of worship the
time for it. And there is no occasion
for the church to borrow music from
any quarter. 1T has an inexhausti-
supply of it's own. 1t has many of
the best works of the greatest mast
ers for great occasions, and it has all
the simple, familiar tunes of thous-
ands of composers for regular sery-
ices. 1t is a mistake forgood singers
to imagine that they cannot do
justice to themselves by singing the
old melodies, those which their
fathers and mothers and remoter
ancestors sang, and which are hal
lowed by the most sacred associa-
tions aud endearet by the tenderest
memories.
The masses are not educated up to
a high standard OF art in music
hen the best opera singers go out
on a concert tour, the work that
brings them the most applause is
simple songs sung in response to
encores. A good choir can be as
effective in old Coronation" as in
any greater effort.

broader opportunities in States
whose creed is universal and complete
education in schools supported by
public taxes. And yet to some men
the chief glory of paradise will be the
absence of the sheriff and the tax
collector, and their political gospel
in this world is low taxes and
retrenchment reforms.
Did it ever occur to you that tie
most productive capital of any State
is self reliant, educated citizens. and
that North Carolina suffers a net
annnal loss of more than one seventh
of this capital? The census of 1890
shows that 293, 900 natives of North
Carolina we're living in other States,
and that $4,000 natives OF other
States were living in NORTH Carolina,
showing net loss to the State of
241 900 human beings. Mr.. Walter
Page IN his remarkable address at
the State Normal and Industrial
College last Wednesday called atten-
ton to the fact that a negro slave
was supposed to be worth 81 900
and calculating that these 241, 900
people are worth that much the
State had lost in one transaction
| $241 ,000,00O which is just about
| the amount for which the property
, of the State is assessed on the tax
| books. We get less than one citizen
for every five we give to other States
We must consider too the charac-
/ tel of those who leave us. Paupers
and iliterates do not move. The
Winstons and Pages and Osbornes
and Tillets are types of large class
that better opportunity has called
elsewhere
We talk about high taxes and ex-
extravaganza, the large appropria-
tions for the Asylums, the courts, The
penitentiary, the institutions of
learning and the public schools, but
the most expensive luxury in this
State is our magnificent system of
illiteracy which we sustain without
complaint except now and then a
murmur from a cranky school teach
er or some other educational
theorist"
The speaker appealed to the
citizens of Winston, who had mani
tested interest in the cause of educa-
ton, to take part in the campaign of
next August, when the people of the
respective townships will vote upon
a supplementary school tax, and to
do something towards making the
schools in the country efficient.

SUGGESTION RENEWED.

SUGGESTION REN Ii w ED.
A year or so ago, we advocated
| with some earnestness, as we
thought, the idea of holding an Ex-
position in Winston and succeeded
in attracting sufficient attention to
the subject to have it referred to a
special committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, but the Exposition did
not materialize.
Newspaper men are firm adherents
to the advertising adage that 1.-The
way to succeed is to keep ever
lastingly at it," and it is fortunate
that this is SO, because, however
tiresome the persistency may have
become at times to some, to this
characteristic of the newspaper man
may be traced many things that
have brought comfort and profit to
the general public. Encouraged by
this thought, we take occasion to
again suggest that an Exposition
would be beneficial to Winston
Salem and, indeed, to this section of
the State.
Of course, we do not propose any
thing of proportions approaching
the magnitude of the Worlds Fair,
the Atlanta Exposition, or the Ten
nessee Centennial, but We do think
that we can provide an occasion,
and at not very heavy cost, that
would serve to attrect widespread
attention to our tobacco market, to
our natural resources and to our
advantages for diversified industries
We have a big tobacco market,
but it is not as big as it ought to be
and as it may be, with the proper
effort to increase it. An Exposition
would materially aid in this direc-
ton.
Our natural resources are not well
enough known to people in other
States who are looking for desirable
homes. An Exposition would assist
greatly in advertising these re-
sources
The desirability of diversified in
dustries is apparent, but We are not
securing them as fast as we should.
The Yadkin harness will be here,
probably, by the time for the Elk
position and in this alone we could
show visitors an advantage not
possessed by any other community
liz the State, and by few in the South.
Now, suggestions alone will not
secure the Exposition nor the benefits
to be derived therefrom. There
must be personal interest and per-
sonal effort first, and then co-opera
tive interest and co operative
effort, on the part OF our manu-
facturers and business men and
citizens generally.
Take the suggestion, gentlemen,
and work it up.

A Pleasing Sketch by the National
Recorder.
The last issue of the National Re-
corder, published at Washington, c1n-
tains very good picture, together
with the following sketch of citizen
of Salem:
IA useful and simple kraut cutter,
has been invented by Mr.. Fl. G. Case,
of Salem, N. G. Mr.. Case was born
in Guilford county, N. c., in 1851, was
farmer boy until twenty two years
old, VIXEN having a fondness for
machinery, he engaged in saw milling
for several years, then entered the en-
ployment of Messrs. E. and Fl. Fries,
with whom he has been for the past
fifteen years, first as engineer, and
then as machinist for their mills.
Many ideas have been presented to his
mind, but not having the means, or
use OF tools to perfect them, has been
obliged to let them go unfinished, but
was persuaded by Mr.. W. H. Turner, a
short time ago, to have some of them
patented, and he offered to assist him,
so they concluded to apply for patent
on the above mentioned device, which
is machine that can also be used in
cutting potatoes and turnips. We
trust that this invention OF Mr.. Case
will meet with ultimate success"

"CREDIT MONEY"

In our news columns today we
give a synopsis of the speech last
week of Hon. W. D. Bynum, of In
diana, Chairman of the go called
National Democratic Executive Com
mittee, " no came to talk to our p o
pie upon subject in which every body
is interested, viz: Financial Relief"
We confess that we find some diff
Guilty in reconciliDg the prediction
arguments of Mr.. Bynum's party
with the position which he now takes
and it strikes us there is a want of
harmony between the premises that
he laid down last night and the con
clusions that he drew therefrom.
During the campaign we were told
that if the free silver heresy" was
defeated and the gold standard was
maintained. confidence would be inn
mediately restored and the country
generally would rideupon high tide
of prosperity. To this end, the gold
bug Democrats united their forces,
prastically, with the Republicans and
succeeded in deferring free coinage
measures and in perpetuating the
single gold standard for four more
years.

AGAINST THE SOUTH.
Talk of Starting q New Force Bill
TRADE.

Talk OF Starting New Force Bill
TRADE.
Wilmington Messenger.
The old deviltry aimed at the
south by the Republican gang of
praetieed and resolute robbers is
again threatened. The south is to
be taken in hand to remedy abuses
In election. This too by most
vicious, venal party, that bought
votes by the hundred thousands and
bulldozed a million working men to
force them to vote with the bosses
and the capitalists The Republican
party has been it's enemy since it was
patched in cocatrice's den. The
talk in Washington, in senatorial
circles especially, is that the Republi-
can managers and leaders mean to
| start a new force bill TRADE against
the South ia order that their party
may have a better showing in the
south. They called it "the equaliz r.
ton of the electoral representation
in the SOUTH They wish to reduce
the power and influence of the south
in the congress, giving a much less
number of members OF the house, and
! lso to cut down the number of cleo.
toral votes for president.
That the Republican party is quite
capable of this or any other assault
upon the south no one will doubt
who knows it's history. 1t has been
the bane of the republic, the enemy
of national progress, and the vindic-
tive prosecutor of the southern whites
from 1865 until now. A southern
Democrat who in any way helps to
fasten such party upon the country
is guilty of a great offence against
the south and has a tremendous
political sin to repent of.

CUBAN BELL1aERDNoY.

1t turned out that Hanna didn' t
have ring in the noses of MAORI
ty of the United States Senators and
that his pronunciamento that it
must be tariff first and Cuba later
didn't work at all. To the contrary,
regardless of the wishes of the power
behind the Presidential throne, the
Senate, by a very large majority
passed the resolution recognizing
Cuban belligerency, and Marcus
throws up his hands in horror and
exclaims that the action of the Sen
ate was deplorable, discourteous to
the President, inexpedient and sen
timental, and INDUCES in other bosh
of a similar character.
The near future will disclose to the
ring master of the national Republic
can circus other evidence that the
crack of his whip has become less
potent in view of unfulfilled promises
and future forebodings of a continu-
ance of obeisance to him and his per
sonal representative in the White
Il ouse.
The resolution which passed the
Senate by vote of Al to IA, and
which is known as the Morgan reso-
luton, reads as follows:

House of Representatives, That g.

eminent patronage. but leaving the

eminent patronage, but leaving the
great body of the people, including
some OF our gold Democratic friends,
in little deeper hole than they were
in before the mammoth confidence
restoration act was performed.
Now, our gold Democratic friends
come forward through their National
Chairman and frankly confess that
the election did not bring prosperity,
that things are terribly out of gear
and that ruin is inevitable unless
something is introduced as an aux
iliary to the gold standard, which,
before the election was to prove a
panacea for the ills that have af-
fiicted Us.
Mr.. Bynum undertakes to suggest
what this needed auxiliary should be
and in introducing it takes occasion
to laud gold, showing that Ephraim
is still joined to his idol, and to decry
silver as standard of money And
yet, paradoxical as it may seem, the
suggestion is made that we must
have credit money. Do what We
thought that from a gold-bug stand
point such proposition would be
denounced as tendency towards
fat money and Populism Credit
money, based upon our products,
says Mr.. Bynumn. Then why not
have money based upon both gold
and silver? Are not both these
metals numbered among our
products, and as little subject to
fuctuation in value as any other
products of the counCry?
" lille there was an apparent dis-
crepancy between the first and last
part of his speech, silver Democrats
could readily argue with some of the
latter statements of Mr.. Bynum, viz :
Our currency system is not sufficient
ly elastic, we need more money and
the interests of the people sorely de-
mand some kind of relief.
An extension of Mr. Bynum's plan
indicates State banks and our people
surely do not object to this. provided
the government tax is removed
therefrom.
The single gold standard as a
means of bringing relief to a de
pressed people is a failure. This is a
fact and fact will down a theory
every time. There must be some
thing else. The gold bug DemocIa ats
now realize this. The people are
willing to consider any plan which
promises to bring the financial relief
so greatly needed, but it may be put
down as a dead certainty that the
free coinage Of both gold and silver
at the re tito OF Is to 1, will remain a
live issue until it becomes a part oil
the currency policy of this govern
ment, or until something else has
been tried and not found wanting.
The question is not to be sidetracked
by mere theories.
