The attention of the public is
now fully occupied and diverted
in the consideration and discus
sion of several mportant current
and prospective happenings. An
nexation, as yet insecure, Re-
ciprocity threatened; the coming
of the Naniwa, and her mission
after arrival; the outcome of the
war between Greece and Turkey
and, whether or no, all Europe
will eventually become involved;
the settlement Of the quarantine
squabble-are all themes of much
conjecture and uncertainty, and
while opinions are freely offered,
none can accurately foretell the
outcome of any of these matters.
Nevertheless, it is becoming more
apparent, as each day passes, that
Buffalo and Hoffbrau are the
favorlte brews, and it is crafty
ing that assurance is given that
regular shipments of these whole

ages can be depended upon, and
that thsy will, as heretofore, he
dispensed at the Royal, Pacific
and Cosmopolitan Saloons, and
that the interchangeable check
system is an established fact. y

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
offense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
60 long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's a poor way to do if you
want to leave your children in
aftiuent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at a well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in a few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
SO frequently and SO carefully
watched that it is at all times
fresh. Our stock in trade con-
sists of the luxuries and deli
cacies from every civilized ma
ton. Send for our catalogue

have boldly opened up on the main

years. This they advised at an indig-
nation meeting held at the largest
auditorium in the city, Hamilton hall,
to an audience of 1000 people.
During the meeting mick" Childs, a
negro jointest and politician, endeav-
ored to reply to one of the speakers.
The audience was in no mood to trifle
with such a person, and he was thrown
ont bodily.

fused to ratify the general arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain negotiated by Secretary
Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote. The
rules of the Senate require a majority

White-total, &c
Senator Davis, chairman of the com
mittee on foreign relations, declined
to express an opinion for publication,
nut talked freely with his friends. To
them he attributed the defeat to the
feeling of dissatisfaction at England
course in the struggle of the Greek to
liberate the island of Crete from Otto
man dominion and the Armenian mas
sacres, and with the evident de-
signs of Great Britain upon the Trans
vaal.
Among those who waited in the SEN
ate corridors to receive the news was
Mr.. Michael Davitt, who appeared
much pleased at the result.

serious as was thought at first, is still
causing some apprehension.

TRYING TO KILL SCHOOLS
A POLITICAL COMMITTEE SEEKING 10
NAME SCHOOL COMMITTEES.
The Only Hope of Public Schools in Wake and
Elsewhere is to Adopt as Motto. No
Politician Need Apply

Some folks are so determined to play
little politics that they are trying to drag
the school question into the mlre. Last
Saturday, at the call of the chairman OF
the Populist Executive committee, a
meeting of the Populists of Swift Creek
township was held to select school COM
mittee for that township. We have not
learned the character of the men named,
even if they are all good men, this is no
way to select school committee. The
chairman of the Executive committee of
the three parties are charged primarily
with the duty of advancing the interests
of party. They are not expected to man
age the schools, which are not run in
the interest of any party, but of all the
people.
What business has the chairman of the
Populist party or any other party, to be
calling a meeting to select schools com
mitteemen? Is the conduct of the public
schools a matter for political committees
to determine? The very fact that this
meeting was called and held shows that
there exists a wholly false conception IN
the minds of some people of the method
of selecting school committeeman. The
qualification for these committeeman
ought to be the only thing considered.
Tomorrow the Board of Education
holds it's meeting in Raleigh. The Board
is composed Of Mr.. Fleming, Democrat;
Mr.. Bagwell Populist, and Prof. Rob
erts. Republican. The entire manage
ment of the public schools of Wake coun-
ty for the next two years is in their
hands, and they are responsible. The
County Superintendent, whom they are
to select, will be their agent. If they Sc
lect some man because he wants job
and cannot make a living at anything
else. they give blow to the educational
work from which it will not recover in
years. If they select a practical teacher,
who has no object in view but the i'm
provement of the public schools and the
education of the children, they will take
forward step that will be felt in the
homes of all the people But, even if
they select competent, superintendent,
and then let political committees, polit-
ical meetings and politicians name their
henchmen as the school committeeman,
the cake will be all dough.
BY ignoring political considerations and
plecting q non-political Board of Educa-
ton, the people have been led to expect
that the schools Of Wake county would
be kept out Of politics. We hope that the
Board win adopt as a motto at the start:
mo politics allowed No political meet
ings will be allowed to dictate. We are
running the schools to educate the Chi
dren--not to please politicians
With this mottoby the Board in Wake
and every other county in the State, we
may hope for educational progress.
If political committees are allowed to
have voice, then the schools viii be in
efficient and the money raised to support
them viii be worse than squandered.

THE HOTTEST DAY YET.
Saturday Was Record-Breaker for
This Year.

Yesterday was recordtbreaker-a
regular sizzler. Everybody literally swell
tered in the intense heat. No matter
where you were, there was no relief, for
there was no breeze-only blistering sun
shine without and burning heat within
the house.
But people were somewhat prepared for
it; at least they knew what to expect, for
all night long Friday night they had toss
ed feyerishly on hot beds and awoke to
find that such sleep as they had been able
to get had not refreshed them. Hardly
had the day begun again before it was
evident that the thermometer meant bus
mess. BY 8 o'clock it was 81 at the
Weather Bureau, and 90 on the street
the highest 8 o'clock temperature this
year. Two hours later it was 90, at noon
%, at O'Clock 96 and at the highest
of the day (97) was reached. Then il
began to climb slowly down, and at G
O'Clock a fresh wind sprang up and made
life again worth the living.
But previous to this there was very
little breeze, and such as there was was
from the east and tended to increase the
heat rather than moderate it.
Conditions continue favorable for hot
dry weather.
The storm in the Northwest is moving
slowly eastward, with the barometer
still below 29.40 At the present very
little rain or cloudy weather accompanies
the stokS, which is causing warm south
erly u(ds and hot weather Throughout
