Chicago, H., March 13.-President James
W. Ellsworth, of the Union Nation al Bank,
who is millionaire heavily interested in
coal mines, willleave for Washington next
Monday to urge an arbitration treaty with
Canda OIL coal, The proposed tariff Is be-
lieved by miners and shippers, he says, TO
be defective in it's consideration of coal
Mr. Ellsworth says he has received con-
fidential information from Canada that
the Dominion government will raise the
duty on coal from 60 TO 75 cents ton II
the American Congress raises the tariff ON
Canadian wool from 40icents TO 10 cents.
Mr.. Ellsworth claims that such acton
would decrease largely the business OF the
Ohio and Pennsylvania coal fields, anh
the only way to smooth over the expected
retaliation is TO Lave reciprocal relations
with Canada on coal.

PUTTING RAILROADS ON THE TAX LIST.

The Railway Commission is notified to
meet June 3Oth, to begin the assessment
of all railway, steamboat, telegraph, ca
nal. telephone and Pullman-car property
1t is notorious that the big roads are list
ed for taxation at much smaller sum
than the stock and bond market shows
they are worth. Between now and the
thirtieth day of June the Commission
should make a particular study of all
matters connected with the roads in the
State. A road that pays or earns a dlvl-
dent on value of thirty thousand dol
lars a mile ought not to be listed for less
than fifteen thousand dollars mile.
Very soon the people in the various
townships will be called upon to vote on
n school tax to increase the efficiency OF
the public schools. We hope the PROPOSE
ton will carry in every township in the
State. If the railroads are taxed at their
true value the school fund will be large
ly increased.

Politics Causing the City to Lose Some
of Its Most Valuable Men.
The recent political removals will make
some gaps in the social life of Raleigh,
as well as lose to the State some valua-
BILE men. In the college, the agricultural
department and the experimental station
the following are affected:
Prof. B. Irby will probably leave the
State, and West Raleigh will miss the
genial and accomplished presence of Mrs.
Irby and the family of small children.
Prof. Yates will no longer lend his
good-humored countenance to Raleigh
life. He will be missed.
Mr.. Chas. Park may be retained by
the executive committee of the board of
trustees, and his many friends hope he
may be, as that would secure him and
his family to Raleigh. Otherwise, he
must move away to find employment.
Commissioner S. l.. Patterson has said
his adieus and gone to his beautiful and
fertile Happy Valley" where the limpid
waters of the Yadkin take their swift
course amid the emerald wales and fields
Of golden grain. His friends follow him
with warm good-byes and a streak Of
envy for the climatic comforts Of his
residence at the foot of the hills.
Mr.. L. X. Bruner will also leave Raj
eigh permanently. He has not determin-
ed whether his lot will be cast in an ad-
joining State, or in the middle west Of
of his own much-loved State. But he
leaves Raleigh. His family go in a few

A WISE EDUCATIONAL ADVANCE.

Under the above heading, we took occa-
sion last Sunday to warmly commend
Mr.. William A. Erwin, Of the Erwin
Cotton Mills, at West Durham, for in
augurating a rule that hencefOrth no
child shall be employed in the factory
who cannot read and write.
We have been gratifed since to learn
from a gentleman who believes with
Ms "honor to whom honor is due" that in
their mills, the enterprising and public
spirited Nessrs. Odell, Of Concord, pur-
sued the plan adopted before the Erwin
Mills were erected. For some years they
maintained, without any expense to the
employees, in their factory vii
lage good school, eight months
in the year. After Concord established
graded schools, these gentlemen built a
school house near their factory, in which
a branch Of the graded school is taught.
They have never charged any rent for
the building erected at their expense
Some years ago it was the pleasant priv,
lege of the writer to be present at the
dedication Of an elegant brick church
erected in the factory village by these
generous Christian manufacturers. Con
nected with this church is Sunday
school Of six hundred scholars in which
instruction in the Bible follows instruc
ton in the public schools during thu
week.
All honor to the Odells, the Erwin
and the other manufacturers who thu
seek to better the condition of those the.
employ!

Raleigh. This announcement will be re-
GREETED by their large circle of friends.
Their going will be a serious loss to the
social life of the town, and it is hoped
they may yet find it possible to remain.
Mr. Mccarthy and family will leave
the State. He will probably go to Wash
ington and take such service in the Fed
eral Department of Agriculture, as his
eminent ability fits him to fill
Mr.. Allen, the handsome, genial young
chemist, will also leave Raleigh, but it is
quite likely that Cupid has found his
heart, and that he will come again. His
host of young lady friends will echo this
sentiment.
Mr.. Asbury VIII leave the city also, in
search of work in his chosen profession
of chemistry.

1.-THE FORGOTTEN MAN"

Just one month ago Mr.. Walter ii.
Page made a vigorous, striking and
original speech at the commencement OF
the Normal and Industrial School at
Greensboro on 1.-THE Forgotten Man." II
was a subject that was new to North
Carolina, and it was supposed that Mr.
Page had coined the happy phrase.
A few days later, Senator Mills Tone
Of the ablest men in public life, by the
way,) in a trenchant speech on the tariff,
caught the public ear by his plea for
1.-The Forgotten Man"
One of our contemporaries suggested
that Mr.. Mills had been reading Mr..
Pages speech and been captivated by its
striking title. 1t turns out that neither
of them is the author OF the words, as
the following from the Waterbury
Comm American shows:
Mr.. Mills is indebted for this strik-
ing phrase, 1.-The forgotten man." to
that remarkable little book of Prof
although in the newspaper reports of
his speech Mr. Mills does not seem to
have mentioned its origin. The for
gotten man." as Prof. Sumner de-
scribes him, is the quiet, responsible
citizen, who goes ahead without fuss
and pays all his own bills without
complaint, and who has also in the
end to pay the bills of all the other
fellows who make the fuss and the
complaining, as the onus Of their ex-
travagant legislation tails at the last
on the forgotten mans pocketbook or
on himself.
There is no question of plagiarism, for
Mr.. Page and Mr.. Mills made their own
speeches. 1.-THE Forgotten Man. pleased
them, and they both made good use of
it to advocate sound doctrine along two
wholly different lines.

ST. MARY'S SCHOOL.
An Interesting and Attractive Catalogue
of This Institution Issued.

The new catalogue of st. Mary's
School for '97-9S is a most attractive lit
tie book and deserves careful reading
from everyone interested in the educa-
ton of young girls. Besides the usual let
tering on the blue covers of the catalogue
there is this year Il fac-simile in gilt Of
the gold medal awarded st. Mary's at
the last State Fair for the finest and
most complete exhibit of work made by
any girls school.
This work was indicative Of the high
scholarship and thoroughness of every
department, and perusal of the course
Of study" given in the catalogue will
convince anyone of the unusual advan-
tages which st. Macv9 offers. The cops
of teachers is composed of men and
women of scholarship and cultivation,
each thoroughly equipped for a special
branch. The course is carefully graded,
and the methods used in all branches are
thorough and advanced. The course in
science has been much extended during
the last three years. Miss Slater, who
has labored so faithfully for the success
of this department and whose zeal and
enthusiasm have been an inspiration to
her pupils, will spend next year in further
study at Cornell, but she has left her
work in excellent hands. Miss Green,
who took her A. B. from Beuchtel Col
lege and her NJ. S. from Cornell, is to
have Miss Slater's place and will main
tain in every way the well earned repu-
tatiOn of the science course.
Those who heard the beautiful instru-
mental solos, the vocal music and the vio-
lin solos and orchestra playing at st.
Mary's at the concert on Wednesday
evening and again on Thursday morning,
will not need to be told of the unusual
merit of the musical department, and the
same may be said of the art work. From
the names of the teachers in the new
catalogue it is certain that st. Mary's
will not only maintain her high standard,
but WILL as she has always done in the
past, continually advance in the use of
the wisest methods for the true educa-
ton of young girls. Any State might be
proud of such an institution. In standard,
scholarship, in methods and thOroughness
it is not surpassed by any college prepar-
atory school, North or South.
The faculty is composed of the follow
