CUBAN BELLIGERENCY

After all, the advocates of Cuban
belligerency in Congress may be able
to break Gar Reeds iron clad rule
to transact no other business until
the tariff is disposed of.
The Washington Post hints very
strongly that there is movement
on foot to do this very thing, and
that the friends of Cuba in the Senate
will say to Mr.. Reed and his follow
ers: No belligerent rights for Cuba,
no tariff bill.
The plan suggested for presenting
this alternative is something like
this: When the tariff bill comes to a
vote a motion will be made to lay it
upon the table, and then the Senate
will adjourn for three days at time,
leaving the bill upon the table until
the House is given an opportunity to
vote upon the Cuban resolution.
1t will be remembered that several
weeks ago the Senate adopted by a
large majority the Morgan resolu-
tion recognizing the beuigerent rights
of Cuba, but pledging this govern
ment to neutrality. This resolution
went to the House, but the Speaker
has refused to present it to that
body for consideration and persist
emily declines to permit any member
to call up that resolution or to pre-
sent another of similar purport.
The idea now is not necessarily to
force the House to adopt the resolu-
ton referred to, but to break the
power assumed by the Speaker and
to give the House the privilege of
recording it's views in reference to the
matter.
If the Senate plan of forcing action
is pursued it will precipitate a COL
test with the Gear and result in de-
laying the final passage of the tariff
bill. As to the outcome in it's bear
iugs upon the Cuban question it is
difficult to foretell. Reed is about as
obstinate as Cleveland and if he
enters the fight with the Senate it
may be expected that he will exercise
all prestige and power that he may
be able to summon.
The Post says that when the plan
of the Cuban sympathizers was made
known to Reed he simply smiled and
said that it was very interesting and
that he did not think there is any
demand for the passage of Cuban
resolution by the House. The prece-
dent has been established that what
Reed thinks goes in the House and it
remains to be seen whether or not
this precedent can be overruled in
this instance.

The Editors Foes.

Fair Bluff Times
A newspaper without enemies is
scarcely deserving of friends. The
vicious and lawless never like bold
fearless newspaper, and every self
respecting publisher should be proud
of their enmity. There are other
newspaper foes, however, who are
more troublesome and consequently
more to be feared. First and fore
most is the man who owes a news
paper an honest debt and will not
pay it. Then there is the ambitious
mortal who wants an office and COM
plains because the newspaper cannot
consistently champion his cause; he
is petty likely to beco me an enemy.
The man who wants to shape the
policy of a paper and is not allowed
TO do SO, is a sure enemy. But the
meanest enemy is the man whom a
newspaper has befrienGed, and who
deliberately condemns the sheet after
securing from it all the assistance he
possibly can.

OUR SUPREME NEED.
Ignorant Men Toll for the Benefit OF
Others.

Rale gh News and Observer.
Ignorance and poverty are twins
always and everywhere. Ignorant
men, in most senses, toll for the
benefit OF others They do not know
how to make their labor prof atle.
They work with dull tools. They
try to make bricks without straw.
They dig and drlve and die, leaving
no assurance of better things TO their
children, though TO give their off
spring "a better chance than they
possessed was the chief ambition
that stimulated their endeavors.
| The children of these men are the
! hope of the Commonwealth They
! cannot develop the resources of the
State, they cannot fl themselves for
| the best that is in them, they cannot
come up to the measure of usefulness
for which they were created unless
they are educated
Education is the supreme need of
the State. Like everything else that
Is worth having it costs money, time
and labor. at is a priceless element
thatcommends itself to the appetite"
Better school facilities cannot be had
without more money. Money can
not be had except by taxation.
Taxation cannot be imposed except
by the volition of the tax payers. In
every township in the State, not now
levying special tax for schools, in
August a vote will be taken to in-
crease the public school term. The
Constitution of the State guarantees
a four months term. In some school
districts the term is only six weeks,
and in some instances the money
available does not secure first-class
teachers. In those townships having
a four months term it is often
heightened out by crowding too
many children into small rooms, and
expecting one teacher to do the
work that it TT quires two to do.

ing it himself in order to get rid of

ing it himself in order to get rid of
the borrower.
The Observer evidently thinks the
confirmed borrower a hard nut, for
it says it "despairs of it's ability to
say anything which will pierce the
hide of the newspaper borrower and
it has no appeal in the matter except
to it's subscribers" and adds:
1.-The good will of person who will
persistently beat upon you is hardly
worth the having, and the man who
subscribes and pays for a newspaper,
like man, ought not hesitate to
deny to anybody the right to read
his paper before he and his family do,
nor hesitate to tear it up when they
have finished with it. We frankly
avow a certain amount of personal
feeling in this matter, being aware
that those people who curse this
paper most generously are persons
who never subscribe for it nor buy a
copy of it, but borrow 1T from one
years end to another from better
men than themselves"
From our own experience, we are
prepared to endorse as a chunk OF
solid truth the statement Of our con-
temporary that "those people who
curse this paper most generously are
persons who never subscribe for it
nor buy copy" Fortunately, the
animus of this class is frequently SO
apparent that the purpose to injure
the paper falls fiat or proves boom
erang and rebounds upon the source
of abuse.
The Observer concludes its remarks
upon the subject as follows:
at is much the habit of supercil
ious deadbeats to turn up their
noses at the State papers and wonder
why North Carolina cannot have
great papers such as other States
have. We have no words to waste
on the deadbeats, but to honest men
who pay tor this paper we wish to
say that North Carolina will never
have a great paper until subscribers
cease lending such as we already
have This will bring the sponges
to terms and they will perforce
become newspaper subscribers; and
this will help them, too, for they will
then become more self-respecting and
better citizens"
