have flourished most dur
ing the dull times from
which we are just emerg-
ing. Is it illogical to
state that it is during
such times that people
use greatest judgment
and care in their. expen-
ditures? And is it ego
tistical to add that The
Palais Royals service
must have best met the
requirements of the times:
So, therefore, on this
eve of the New Year

prietor is full Of pride
and thankfulness and pos

been made for 1893.
One feature will be
the opening of virtually
two new stores, for the
sale of articles at the
uniform prices of 4 cents
and 9 cents. This may

LET'S HAVE 1T.

That Welcome Week idea is worth
considering. Think about it and let
US know your conclusions. 1t occurs
to us that something of the kind
would prove decidedly beneficial in
giving impetus to the fall business OF
our cities. The details of such an
event could be made attractive and
could be readily arranged by COM
mittee appointed for the purpose:
Let some one, or all of our CONNER
cial bodies take the idea under con.
sideration and develop it. Arrange
ments could be made to combine in
such an event the commercial and
tobacco interests of the Twin City.
We want business this Fall and
Winter and we are prepared to serve
this section for many miles around.
Let us show our friends that we want
their trade, invite them to come and
see us and, while having a season OF
pleasure, to ascertain for themselves
that Winston Salem is the place for
them to market their products and
to secure their supplies. A light
does but little good if kept hid. We
must wake up and make our advan-
tages known. A Welcome Week, or
something similar, would prove a
step in that direction. Let's have it.

The Remedy is in Democratic State
Control.

The Remedy is in Democratic State
Control.
Raleigh News and Observer.
Negro control of white schools will
not be tolerated.
When the Fusionists won in 1894
they gave negro magistrates and
negro doorkeepers, adjourned the
Legislature in honor of Fred Doug
lass, and took other steps in the
direction of negro rule, but they
would not turn over the Eastern
counties to them or give them a
voice in the control of white schools.
The last Legislature, encouraged
by the first concessions, let down the
bars everywhere, turning the Eastern
counties wholly over to negro domi-
nation and giving the negroes II
voice in the selection of teachers for
white schools. Such things may be
achievements rea ter than the barons
won at Runnymede-to the negroes.
But they are forerunners of the de-
struction of Anglo Saxon civilization
if they are permitted to stand.
And the end is not yet. Unless the
white people bury their differences
and unite, we shall see negro school
examiners to examine white lady
teachers before the century closes.

TO DEATH OVER NIAGARA.
Two Men and a Boy Swept Over the
Horseshoe Falls.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Aug o.
One of the most tragic events of the
summer season at Niagara occurred
at about 5 O'Clock yesterday after>
noon, when two men and boy were
swept to death over Horseshoe Falls.
The hour was one when thousands
of people filled the beautiful free
parks on both sides of the river, and
the occurrence was one that darkly
elouded the otherwise beautiful day.
The boat first attracted attention
when people on the upper end of the
State reservation on the New York
side and people on the Dufferin
Islands, on the Canadian side, no.
ticed it further down the river than
such boats usually go.
1t was soon apparent that either
the sail was not pulling with effect
against the storm or else those in the
boat knew little about sailing. The
boat was nearer the Canadian shore,
and for that shore it seemed to be
heading. When the first reef and
first line of breakers were met those
In the boat seemed to recognize their
peril, for they got out their oars and
pulled as hard as they could. But
they had gone too far on the treach-
erous current, and as the boat
plunged over another reef it cap
sized, and the three occupants were

IGNORANCE A CURSE

The Ignorant Man a Slave Wherever
You Find Him.
N c. Journal of Education.
An ignorant man ia a slave where
ever you find him. Unframed COM
munities are in a state of servitude
to trained communities all over the
world. Character and intelligence
are the true creators of values.
Ignorance is curse. 1t has never
done any good thing. 1t has never
written great book or enacted a
wise law or sang great song or in
vented a new machine. There are
good individual ignorant men but
their Ignorance. is a menace to society
and Il rebellion against the intent of
the Maker. Education may, indeed,
rob men of some measure of animal
content ment, only to fill them with
that divine discomfort which is the
lesson of all advancing civilization.
Learning may be dangerous; but the
remedy is not ignorance. Life itself
is dangerous; but the remedy is not
suicide.
Ignorance is remedy for nothing,
and after all is said and done, every
man in the wide world with brains in
his head or a heart in his breast
wants his own child educated. That
settles the question.

THE BLEEDING PROCESS.
Delusfon That Will Pass Away
in Due Season

A Delusfon That Will Pass Away
in Due Season.
Philadelphia Record.
1t used to be thought necessary
when any one got sick to bleed the
sufferer as preliminary to the
restoration OF health. Wenow know
that this was delusion and a mis-
take. But there are thousands of
credulous persons who think that the
passage of law increasing Federal
taxation and bleeding the pockets of
the people will cure the business sick
ness which aff1icts the country. In
due season this delusion will also
pass away. But the good time will
never come if the schemers who profit
by popular superstition can pre-
vent it. The foreign demand for our
grain, the new discoveries of gold,
the abundance of our harvests and
the general growth of confidence in
the ability of the Government to
maintain it's credit and pay its debts
have filed the hearts of the people
with hope. But those who are max
ing unearned millions of dollars out
of the changes in our taxes point to
the newly smoking chimneys an6
whirring wheels and cry: Great ii

ENGLAND AND SILVER.

The fallacy of looking to England
for the restoration of bimetallism
becomes more apparent as time goes
by.
The London Times voices British
financial views in an article review
ing the effects of closing the Indian
mints, in connection with the visit of
the American bimetallic commission.
1t says the closing of the mints was
justified and comments on the
characteristic crudeness and bold
ness of American diplomacy in send
ing a bimetallic commission to ask
for the re-opening OF the Indian
mints, while at the same time DEAL
ing the worst possible blow at
British commerce by passing the
Dingley tariff" The writer says,
further: "One thing is certain. We
would be very foolish to do anything
| for silver"
| Under present conditions, it is to
England's interest, as a creditor
/, nation, to maintain the gold stand
ard-to unduly enhance the value O
the money which she loans-and it IL
waste of time and money to expend
either or both in an attempt to per-
suade her to take the initiative il
restoring silver to its proper place il
the monetary world.
The three commissioners sem
abroad in the ostensible interest o
bimetallism will have a big time a
the expense of the people of thu
United States, but it is to be serious
| ly doubted that the Republican Con
gress which sent them either expected
or desired that any tangible results
would accrue from the jaunt of tn
commissioners. Their going woul'
serve to show some sort of pretens
of carrying out their platform utter
ances in regard to internatiODa
bimetallism and to pull the wool {
little thicker over the eyes of thos
who labor under the delusion tina
there is hope for free coinage unde
Republican administration.
England will consent to inter
national bimetaIlism after Americ,
has declared for independent bimet
allism, and this declaration will no
be made until the hosts of Democ.
racy-the friends of the money of tn
Constitution and the money of tn
people-have swept from power tn

Ipjunctions.

Asheville Citizen.
The sweeping character of the in
junction enforced by Judge Jackson
on the striking miners must alarm
the thoughtful citizen everywhere. A
court ruling that two men cannot
walk Il public road because they are
strikers and might. if seen, intimi
date men who are working in their
places, is simply the exercise of power
for the sake of meeting the unjust
demands of corporation. If men can
he legally arrested when going along
a public road because that is form
of intimidation, it is no great step
forward to drive them out of the
county ia which they are, on the
ground that knowledge OF the fact
that they are-within a few miles of a
mine might intimidate men working
therein in strikers places.

Opinion Growing.

Wilmington Messenger.
The opinion is growing, is perhaps
rapidly crystalizing that there must
be an earnest, determined campaign
fought in North Carolina for the
supremacy of the white race, and it
will be started with all needed vigor
probably next year. The decent peo-
pie of Anglo-Saxon descent are re-
markedly tired of the rascalities and
lawlessness of these times, are dis
gusted at the turbulence, hrazen
effrontery, deceiufulness and treach-
cry of the new-fedged leaders now to
theft ont, and of the bad laws enacted
by the last two utterly ignorant, in
capable and unfaithful legislatures.
A party inspired by patriotism, a
love of their race, thorough fidelity
to eternal principles of right and
justice and honor and manhood will
be the probable outcome next year.

NEWEST FASHIONS.
Felts Will Not Be So Popular as Here
tOfore,

New York cor. Richmond Dispatch.
l am told upon the very best of
authority that there will be no IRON
clad rules for a long time regarding
the shape of hats. The stiff felt is no
longer ruler. In it's place is the
material known as mauchou, which
is really a sort of cylinder of felt,
which can be transformed into
almost any shape which the milliner
| may desire.
As to the colors we are going to
wear on our heads this fall, different
shades OF gray or a mixture Of gray
and white will be largely in evidence.
Then there are harmOnies in violet,
mixtures of green and black, gray,
and other dull tones, frightened up
with rose color and beige, combiaed
with black. Beige usually appears
in the foundation, and is extended
less frequently to the trimming. For
travelling and morning hats this
color will be used as much as gray.
The shape most fancied for these hats
is the soft Tyrolean. with wide
band of gros grain round the crown
which is squeezed into a deep ridge
at the top. A bunch OF quill feathers
or handsome buckle may be added
by way of decoration, but these hats
will be frequently worn without.
The new models are considered
smaller than those in vogue at pres
emit, but they still have decided brims
Low crowns seem to be most il

GOLD ONLY.

"The Dutch have taken Holland u
In other words. in his speech before
the Bankers Association. Comp
troller Eckles declared that the only
hope is the gold standard. Did any
body expect any other declaration
from this relic of the Cleveland regime
that has been continued in a fat
place in the Hanna-McKinley house
hold? From Eckels' lengthy re-
marks we infer that he would wipe
out all the greenbacks and all the
silver and have no money that is not
backed by and redeemable in gold.
This, of course, would mean still
further contraction of the currency
alcontraction which would be fearful
in it's results upon the people at
large, but which would be a picnic for
the fellows that are safely enveloped
by big salary, so long as Uncle Sam
was allie to foot the bills and keep
out of bankruptcy.
Environment has very much to do
with the formation of opinion and
this factor should be taken into
account when weig hing expressions
upon matters of public interest.
Outside of the monopolists, the
moneycrats and the big office holders,
it is pretty generally recognized that
q contraction of the currency to the
extreme gold basis would bring gen.
eral disaster. Those in the above
excepted classes are welded to such
q policy because they think it would
increase the value of their holdings
and give them still greater power to
prey upon the masses.
It is to he hoped that the manhood
of the country will be strong enough
to resist all efforts to bring about
such q contraction, whether such
efforts assume the form of persua-
sion, coercion or purchase.
