STATE ALLIANCE OFFICERS.

The North Carolina State Alliance
has always been fortunate enough to
secure good officers. But the mem
bership believes in rotation, and some
changes occurred at the recent State
meeting. And while good men we're
in before, the Order has lost nothing in
official timber, except, of, course, the
valuable experience of former Ulcers.
But it is safe to assume that the new
officials will take to the work like
ducks to water. By reading the fol
lowing list of officers just elected the
brethren will conclude at once that the
organization never had a better set Of
officials, and that there is no reason
why the good work should not go right
along: .5l

PLAN FOR A~RBI1RfTIoN.

Bro. Pepper of the Danbury Post,
has (as pepper usually does) been max
ing it hot for Bro Ellis Of the Winston
Republican. 1t has been q kind OF side
show for the Kilgc-Kingsbury contro
versy. The Republican says it has
seen something which it calls pros
perity-it may have been a ghost. The
Post says there is no such thing in the
State. We presume we shall have to
act as mediator. Q1it fighting boys.
Our plan for arbitration is this: II
Bro. Ellis is so prosperous let him
kindly hand over some of the ''eviden
ces" to Bro. Pepper, whereupon Bro.
Pepper will cease calamity bowling"
and both can dwell together in unity.

EDUCATION.

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
l will write short letter upon the
subject of education which is probably
one of the greatest questions Of the
day, and one of which we should often
think. Children should always be
placed in school as soon as they are old
enough, and be dealt with kindly, but
with strictness until they are old enough
to know how to believe. If parents
would send their children to school as
soon as they are old enough instead of
letting them run about the streets get
ting into bad company, fighting and
using protane language, in later years
we would have no use for the prisons
and chain gangs. I would not regret
to say that education OF the head with.
out that Of the heart is worth nothing
more than a stained character in this
world, and eternal damnation in the
world to come. Congress has set apart
thousands OF acres OF public land for
the purpose of founding and supporting
our schools and colleges; therefore we
should do all is in our power to raise
them to a higher standard.
We ought to consider this matter.
Do we want our children to grow up in
idleness and want to be an aggravation
to their parents as long as they are in
their care7 No; if parents are what
they ought to be, they will send their
children to school so that they may be
educated, and then they may be OF
some use in the world. 'E lucation is
the standard of human ingenuity. -
We have hundreds Of schools and col.
leges that are only running from two
to six months in the year when thew
should run eight, but cannot do it for
the lack of money. Education is a thing
that we should forever encourage. We
are sorry 80 Say it, but some people
don't know how to appreciate q good
education until it is too late for it to do
them any good. If it had not been for
our educational institutions. we would
never have had any such poets es
Shakespeare, Milton, Poe and Lone
fellow; therefore we ought to do ali We
can to encourage the growth of our
schools and colleges.

6REssIvE FARMER much Gee

ICrop reports are very encouraging,
and it seems that farmers are learning
the value of raising their own supplies.
There are some valuable suggestions
for farmers in President Graham's Al
lance address, which appears in this
issue. Let every farmer read it.
. 1t is to be regretted that so few OF
the townships voted for the local tax
Tor schools. Yet we think there are
enough of them to give it trial, and
the experiment will be watched with
interest. Able and patti lotto men have
advocated the tax, but chief among
these, we think, are Superintendent

Judge Walter Clark's address before
the Tennessee lawyers is attracting
much attention. THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER was the first paper in the State
to publish the address, and the interest
that was taken ia it is shown by the
requests for copies containing it. The
idea which the Judge advances is a
new one, but, Judging from the favor.
able comments, the idea is likely to
grow, and to grow rapidly. Judge
Clark uses his own thinking machine,
and he gave his staid and conservative
brethren of the legal fraternity some
thoughts over which they can c0gitate
with profit.

From all sections of the State news
comes that the school election practic-
ally failed. Many did not vote, and in
some townships where q me )rity
voted in favor of the tax the majority
did not constitute a majority of the
registered voters. We have not learned
how many townships cast a majority
of registered votes in favor of taxation,
but the number is thought to be ten,
We suppose the objsction to in
creased taxation did more than any
thing else to defeat the measure. There
we're obj e~ctions, also, to the law itself,
and party feeling cut NO small figure.
There was one good thing about the
law-it was referred to the people for
adoption or rejection. Hence there
should be no bad feeling over it. We
are surprised to learn that so much
bitterness he's been aroused in some
sections. The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
did not approve all the features Of the
law. But being friendly to education
we felt that it would be q mistake to
oppose any law likely to forward the
good cause. While we advocated II
consistently and conservatively, &C
cording others the right to oppose it If
they thought best, a number Of people
we're made angry. We have heard
that other deserving papers lost patrons

REAPING WHAT WE sow.

On the 18th the News and Observer
contained an editorial that equaled, if
it did not eclipse any thing ever issued
by that paper, in the way Of silly rot
1t starts out with the lynching Of the
negro repist near AsheviIle for a text,
and goes on to say that the election of
a Republican Governor has melted the
negroes to commit more crimes; that
we are reaping what we have sown."
It also claims that when a few negroes
coDgregated near the Wake county jail
to protect the negro rapist brought
here from Vance county recently, they
did so believing that the bottom rail
had gotten on top, etc.
The best element of the negro race
depIores crime as we'll as the white
people. 1t is only necessary to com
pare North Carolina with other States
to prove that there has not been any
more crime of any kind, and especially
that Of rape, IN this State than has
been reported from other Southern
States. Virginia has had a number
of rape cases within the past six
months, and the Republicans and
Populists have no foothoid there; it is
strictly q democratic State. The same
is true Of Georgia and Alabama. Both
are Democratic States, have long been
so, and the crime of rape is very COM
mon. There has been an epidemic of
such crimes all over the South, and
several lynchings. Very few crimes of
any kind can be traced to political in
fuence anywhere. The paper that
starts out to make such charges will
surely find that it has undertaken too
much. The people know better. The
vicious element in all parties commit
the crimes; the better element condemn
them. There is no dividing line, no
locality is entirely exempt, and never
will be.

"That the Executive Committee is

drain has absorbed practically all the
bullion of Potosi, of the ComstOck and
Colorado.
From the above table of figures we
may fairly infer that one, or at most two,
great countries, with open mints to both
metals. together with India and China,
their minis open to only one metal, such
a condition of currency, with England, as
now, pledging herself to give gold for all
bills presented at her banks, can estab-
lish and maintain bimetallism.
Something has been said in Congress
about free coinage bringing the silver OF
Asia to your minis to be exchanged for
gold. The idea is inconceivable. The sill
YER boarded under the hearthstone of the
Hindoo is his money; he can draw upon
it in times of famine to buy food. He can
not buy food with gold; he would be
obliged, if he boarded gold, first to sell
that gold to the sowkar to obtain the sill
yer with which to buy food. Some idea
may be formed of the scarcity of current
silver above ground in India, notwith-
standing the prodigious drain of silver to
India these centuries past from the fact
known to every Eastern merchant that
the export at any time during the past
pecs (S25, 100000 Would have raised
bank rates in India to 20 or even 30 per
cent Indeed, the ten crores of rupees
could not be got at all.
While writing with strong conviction
that the maintenance of the parity, given
only free coinage in one tirst-class coun-
try, with open minis in India, Is not dlfh-
cult and not dangerous, yet, like every
bimetalist who shares my views, L re
joice in the promised visit to Europe OF
your American commissioners. The wider
the basis of monetary union the better,
and every currency student IN Europe
will wish Senator Wolcott and his col
leagues success in their benehcent enter
prise. If France would join America IN
free coinage, and if the voraclous mint
at Bombay gagain starts coming; II to
this can be added large annual purchases
of silver by Russia, Germany, and Aus
tria, if. indeed, they can get any, then
the end desired is in sight. But do let us
take warning from the tiascOs of the
past and reject, alb initio, those sugges-
tions of the enemy-of the self-styled "bl-
metallist so long as the republic
of Andorra remains outside the union the
restoration of silver must wait, for fear
Andorra should "steal all our gold" The
currency question is, in fact, more of a
traders than a bankers question. What
we want to know is how much brisk
advance in the silver exchanges of the
Orient will raise prices and stimulate the
export traders of the Occident. Now mer-
chants are better qualified to express an
intelligent opinion as to this than are
bankers. 1t is problem of extreme IN
terest to every white man whose product
enters into the export trade of his nation.
