FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The Legislature has done one thing
for which credit must be given. The act
to encourage local taxation for puohc
schools, which appropriates $4,000 to
be given to districts that levy special
school tax, is one of the wisest laws ever
enacted in North Carolina.
For this piece Of legislation no particu-
lar political party can claim credit. 1t
was carried practically unanimously in
both houses, though the bill at one time
came near being killed in the Senate.
Its strongest champions in this body
were Utley, of Wake, Populist; Grant, Of
Wayne, Republican,; and Justice, Of
Rutherford, Democrat. lit gives encour-
agement to popular education when all
political parties unite upon a measure
like this.
Now that this bill has become a law.
the people should know who proved them
selves the friends of the common schools.
For there were several days when it's
fate was doubtful in the Senate, and but
for the untiring, effective work of Presi-
dent Alderman and President Mcfyer,
who came down from Chapel Hill and
Greensboro, and staid till this bill was
passed, and Superintendent Howell, and

$4,000 to the common schools, would

cept Butler, who was left in the Senate

Senator Marion Butler was present and
Joined in the discussion of the situation.
1t was fully and unanimously decided
that there would be no future aftiiation
with what are known as the b0lting
Populists, or with any one who is IN
sympathy with them in their action dur
ing the Legislature.
The following members were appointed
to draw up a set Of resolutions: Senator
j. w. Atwater, of Chatham; Senator
]. f. Lyon, Of Durham; Senator j. A.
Walker, OF Rockingham, and Represen-
tative Maury Ward Of Duplin.
They submitted the following, which
were unanimously passed:
Whereas, The two greatest and most
vital issues before the people of the State
and nation are:
1st. The question Of financial reform,
which means the increasing of the guam
tity of the legal tender money Of the
country to an amount sufficient to restore
prosperity and to be increased hereafter
in proportion TO the increase Of population
and business so as to maintain the sta
bility of prices.
''2nd. The question of transportation
reform, which will take from the hands
Of private monopolies the tyrranous and
dangerous power to discriminate between
persons and places, to charge excessive
rates and fares and thereby not only to
make or destroy at their pleasure, but
also to control dominate and corrupt the
legislative bodies Of the States and ma
ton, and
Whereas, The Peoples party in North
Carolina, through it's representatives IN
the General Assembly, has stood solid
and true to accomplish these reforms in
the interest Of the people and good gov
ernment, which they were prevented
from doing by a fusion between ma
jority Of the two old parties in said Gen
eral Assembly; therefore,
Resolved, 1st That the People $
party appeal to the people against the
action Of their faithless representatives.
IND. That we will continue to fight
for the same reforms for which we have
contended in this Legislature and stand
ready to welcome into our ranks or to
extend the cordial hand OF cooperation
to all those of any and all parties who
were against the grasping greed OF
monopoly and the grinding greed OF the
gold trust, who are willing to stand
faithful on the side of truth and justice
