 sentinel upon the watch-tower to
 guard the public interest. 1t has no interestin gove rnment further than that possessed in common by every tax payer in the community. But it is the relentless enemy of the re calcitrant office holder or office. seeker who neither obeys nor en. forces the law. It believes that the laws on the statute books are not dead-letters, and it further believes that they are made to apply to all alike-the office-holder or the pri- vate citizen. It is against official private snaps. It is opposed to the pros titution of public office for pri. vate gain.

It does not believe that public officer has a legal or moral right under any eireums tanees to that which the law says he shall not have.

4 #TR UE LENT.
lCommereial-A ppeal. 1

When the church fathers set aside the forty days, not nting the Sundays, between Shrove Tuesday and Easter as days of fasting in memory of the Nazarene's long ab- stinence, they did it in a spirit of reverence, enacting at the same time church law and a health or dinance But like many other reli- gious observances it has lost much of its original meaning with the people at large. Many persons pay no attention whatever to it's rules; others think they have fulfilled the regulations when they attend divine service so many times a week and refrain from eating meat or butter; others again give up social enter tainment, thinking this sufficient sacrifice. But it is not one or all of these things which make the best way of observing the fast-time. That Lent, which is probably most accep- table to the Creator and most bene- ficial to mankind at large, is an ab- stinenee from the petty sins that mar our daily lives, the speaking oI harsh words, the gossiping habits, the seltishness, the indolence and other faults which can be corrected only by patient effort. The spring is the most trying season upon the constitution, and therefore refrain ing from meat may be wholesome thing for the body; but for the good of the soul it is better to give up a bad habit. Many people need all the strength they can muster for the work they have to accomplish, and so can not afford to run the risk of diminishing their physical force. To these people, lasting from bodily nourishment is impossible, but there 10 iiO ihQi Oh AofidH w iiD IS fSO situated that he or she can not give up some habit that is hurt and a intolerance. To give up the theater aud continue to gossip about your neighbor; Or to sacrifice your cigars and keep on speaking unkindly to your wife, is not of any use except from an economic or health view.
 The true Lent is meant to help rather in spiritual way, that, at least, is what it's original intention was. The idea that eschewlng tough beef and living on oys ters and fish is keeping Lent is too ridiculous to con slider for moment. The old coup let that reads:
 "Starve the sin. not bin;
 That is 50 keep thy Lent"
 speaks the true spirit of the season.

Educational racnat,es For yvomen.

Five or six years ago Mir. Washing ton Duke of Durham gave $85, ,000 bo secure the location of Trinity college in Durham, being then the largest single donation for educational purposes ever given by North Carolinian. At the re- cent session of the North Carolina Meth odist conference at Kinston Mir. Duke through President Kilgo. gave sl00, GOO to the endowment of Trinity college, with the solitary but farreaohing con- dition that the trustees, upon its aocept- ance. will arrange for the admission of girls. Mir. Duke is man of great prao- tieai sense. He has been studying Trin- ity college since it first moved to Dur- ham. He has become convinced, just as Ezra Cornell came to believe, that when larger opportunities of higher education are offered to men they ought also to be given to women. In North Carolina Elon. Catawha, Gnilford and Ruthar- ford have been open to women, and the practice has worked well. Raleigh (N. c. ] News and Observer.

GREECE has made answer to the Powers. King George does not defy the powers of Europe. but re- plies to their ultimatum by saying that he is willing to withdraw his fleets from the Island of Crete, but his troops must remain in order to prevent the wholesale slaughter of Christians; that he is willing to as sist the Powers in pacifying the Is- land. but autonomy is not satisfac- tory to the Cretans who insist upon annexation to the fatherland as a means of absolute safety and protect ion. Greece's reply has taken all the wind out of the sails of the Powers, and in view of the sagacious answer of the Grecians, the next movement of the Powers will be watched with interest.

 Both Secretary Olney and Attorney General Harmon will return to tho law practices they have kept tethered safely during their time of service with Cleye- land. Secretary Herbert is said to be slated for good thing in connection with the Cramps projected ordnance plant
 Carlisle is certain of the future, as a dozen threads are in his hands. and any one will lead to comfortable berth for life. It is thought ho will become gen. oral counsel for the Equitable Life As surance company at s25, GOO a year
 Morton need have no cares for tho fu- ture. He was very wealthy before he entered Glevelands cabinet. and, while he has added nothing to his fortune dur ing his four years in the agricultural department, he still has money enough to keep him comfortable for many times his natural term of years He will ga back to his farming in Nebraska
 Francis of the interior department will return to the St. Louis wheat pit.
 Postmaster General Wilson, practical. ly without fortune, will be deprived utterly of the support he has derived from his place in the house, and, having been so long divorced from the active practice of law, will be in tho worst po- sition of any of the cabinet people. Cleveland would like to do something for Wilson in judicial way, but op- portunity lacks He may accept an offer he now has under consideration to be- come president of the Washington and Lee university, the oldest institution of learning in the south.
