We are not sure but that the
Charlotte Observer is exactly right
in saying that "the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States
that fine type provisions in ocean
steamship contracts are invalid, is In
the direction OF substantial justice" !"
The Observer backs its observation
with these statements: DOUBTLESS
if callt d upon the court would render
the same decision as to the fine type
provision of all other contracts
that is to say, that they must be
brought directly to the notice OF
those entering into them. In taking
insurance, in buying railroad tickets,
in sending telegraphic messages and
in other matters people often enter
into contracts without having any
idea of their terms, and often with
out having the opportunity to
acquaint themselves with them. In
such cases the chances are all against
the customer and the only surprise
is that, under the circumstances,
there are not more misunderstand-
ings and more lawsuits than there

NOT THE REMEDY.

The Populists in Congress held a
caucus upon the tariff question and
as result an address has been
issued, embodying their views, which
harmonic very largely with the
Democratic sentiment, and, we be-
lieve. with the sentiment of a majori
ty of the voters of the country.
The address notes that tariff has
been discussed for more than a hun
dred years and that during this
period the country has experienced
both prosperity and hard times
under both high and low tariffs, but,
says the address, sit has always ex
perienced hard times when there was
a contraction of the money volume,
no matter whether the tariff was
high or low."
The address points out that the
present depression came under the
Mckinley tariff and continued under
the Wilson tariff and says that tariff
is not a remedy for the evils of the
gold standard and monopoly rule.
1t might have gone further and
shown that q high tariff tends TO in
crease these evils by fostering the
trusts and combines which prey upon
the mass of the people, and by re-

Education in North Carolina.

New York Educational Review.
The Inauguration, on January 27,
of Edwin Anderson Alderman as
president of the University of North
Carolina was an occasion of unusual
Importance and interest.
The enthusiasm that prevailed was
most significant, because for some
time past a group of sectarian busy
bodies had been going up and down
the State attacking the University as
q goddess and unnecessary institu-
tion, and endeavoring to divert ite
State appropriation to other pur-
poses. The inconceivable narrowness
and folly of such q movement had
not prevented it from making some
headway; but the exercises of Presi-
dent Alderman's inauguration, his
own lofty and cogent address, the
cordial support of the influential
newspaper press and of leading
public men of the State are emphatic
assurance that the crusade of bigotry
and pettiness has exhausted itself.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS,.

For many months The SENTINEL
has advocated the plan of supplying
our towns with electric light and
electric power by means of harness
ing the wasted energy of the 9adkin
river.
So continuously have we kept the
matter before our people, pointing
out the advantages to be derived
therefrom, that our persistency has,
perhaps, been laughed at as an idle
dream.
But we believed it was a practical
thought and, therefore, kept ever
lastingly at it," and now we have
the peculiar satisfaction of knowing
that the prospects are very encour-
aging for harnessing the 7adkin and
calling it into the service of our
varied industries and offeriDg superi
or inducements for establishing
diversified enterprises in our midst.

The address mentions the Republi-
can complaint that the Wilson bill
does not produce sufficient revenue
for the support of the government
and makes this comment thereupon ::
"The lack of revenue ia not the re
suit OF defects in the bill as it was
passed by Congress. but resulted
from a decision of the Supreme Court
which declared the income tax un
constitutional There are many
ways to supply the deficiency without
renewing the tariff agitation. The
most direct and effective method
would be to restore silver and in
| crease the circulation medium so as
to restore the level, of prices which
existed prior to the demonetization
| of that metal.
! We do not regard the Dingley bill
| as a revenue measure. 1t is extreme
| ly doubtful if it will produce as much
/ revenue as the Wilson bill. Nor is it
I a tariff for protection in any just

The following thrust at the Repub

address:

A SAD LESSON.

The distress which has fallen upon
the book keeper of the Morehead
Bank, at Durham, adds another
victim to the long list of those who
have been ruined by the siren songs
of the infamous gambling concerns
known as bucket shops.
The Sun gives the following touch
ing picture of a man, once honored
and esteemed, who now labors under
a great burden of grief, because he
yielded to the temptation to use the
funds Of others, through the glitter
ing promise of large gain held out by
the vultures of Wall street. Let this
picture prove a lesson and warning
to others who are likewise tempted: !:
"He is a broken-hearted, disconso-
late and wretched man, because he
feels that his friends grieve on his
account 1t would have touched a
heart of flint to see this great, cour-
ageous, big-hearted man take his
little child in his arms and sob and
shake with the most intense agony. :"
''As has been said, it is the old
story of a man who speculated and
lost. Many a brave man has suffer
ed ship wreck upon this rocky shore.
Would that all such things as bucket
shops and the like were eliminated
from our town"
There is State law against the
operation of bucket shops and it
| should be strictly enforced every
| where. That the violations are
winked at is to be deplored. 1t
| should be manifest to the moral sen
timeDt in every community that
these concerns, under the disguise OF
business, sow seeds of gambling that
will surely bring forth a harvest OF
distress and, possibly, dishonor, and
this moral sentiment should protest
in thunder tones against them. The
| cloak of "business" should not screen
them from denunciation and the
clutches of the law. Business
should never occupy higher place
than morality and the general we'll
being of the citizenship.

is not afflicted with one of these
dangerous and demoralizing con
Germs. 1t will be remembered that

ing their application he would recon-
mend that it be not granted. Where
