la idea de que Sc establezca en- Pom
ce un Colegio de Instruction y Sc
coloque al frente de ese plantel de
ensenanza al educacionista puerto
rriqueno don Eugenio Ma Hostos.
Nosotros abtndamos EN- la mis-
ma opinion.
La competencia del senior Hostos
no puede estar mas acreditada. En-
las Repdblicas de Santo Domingo y
Chile, ha educado 4 toda una gene
racion, que debe al senior Hostos,
no solo los conocimientos cientifi-
cos, sino 10 que es mas grande y
trascedental para los pueblos, la
educacion moral, ell alma, por decir-
10 asi; la concicncia del deber, Ell
amor q las virtudes civicas, que in
filtradas en- la conciencia del nino
desarrollanse en- ell corazon del hom-
bre, y forman los caracteres Y los
ciudadanos libres.
Nuestro pueblo ha estado siempre
hu6rfano de esos mentores. Edu-
cacionistas como Hostos y como
Baldorioty de Castro, no podian vi
vir balo la reaccion colonial. Por
ESQ el primero emigro las Repn-
blicas sur-americanas, y ell segun-
do, mas apegado al terruno, perma-
neci6 aqui, pero inactive para la Ia
Dor de la ensenanza, pues siempre
que intento fundar IN colegio una
escuela Politecnlca, tropezo con el
brazo de la reaccion que Sc 10 i'm
pedia. A los gobernantes espano-
les no Sc ocultaba que aquel
gran patricia solo podia formar en-
las aulas conciencias ibres, hom-
bres ciudadanos, y no hombres es-
clavos. Y Baldorioty murio sin
haber podido dirig.ir nj una escuela
rural, porque no Sc 10 hubieran per-
mitido.
A los gobiernos reaccionarios que
Espafa nos enviara, convenia que
nos desarrollaramos ssAap> todes los
vicios de educacion que por desgra-
cia poseemos, y que 81 a juzgarse-
nos por ellos fueran, pareceriamos
I'm pueblo nacido y tornado para la
esclavitud
Andamos muy NAL de educacion
politica Y de educacion social. No
Sc ncs ensen5 amar la libertad 10
bastante para sacrificarnos por ella;
nj aprendimos a odiar la tirania 10
bastante para maldecirla con todas
las potencias de nuestra alma.
Fuimos un pueblo sometido, no
por la apatia de la raza III la lnffuen-
cia del china, como algunos supo-
men, sino porque carecimos de edu-
cacion civica, de esa fuerza moral
que da la conciencia del deber y
del derecho. Nos educamos en- la
escuela del engano y ell disimulo.
Mentiamos TN patrlotismo que es-
tabamos muy lejos de sentlr; TN
giamos una sumision que nos esco-
cia, que nos hacia daflo; pefo no

STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

A member of the Street committee of
the Board of Aldermen said yesterday
that the work of making Belgian Block
is progressing rapidly. The street scraper
will probably be put to work on some
of the streets which have been graded,
but not paved. This is ncessitated by
the recent rain and snow which placed
these streets in such bad condition.
Fayetteville street, below DaVie, will
probably receive the attention of the
Street committee at an early date. The
work ON Bl0unt Is. being rapidly pushed
and Friday four blocks of that street
will be ready for the macadam. The
new pavement OH this streets sidewalks
is receiving complimentary mention.

any building at cost of 800 or more,
to file with the city authorities copy
of plan and an estimate of cost and OBJ
tain building permit.
Resolved second. That committee
from this Chamber be appointed to con-
fer with the Board of Aldermen to see
if our building laws cannot be further

now exist"

HIS BUSINESS PROSPEROUS.
Pool Finds his Store Insufficient for his
Enormous Stock.

Mr.. s. C. Pool is one of Ralelgh >
most popular and progressive business
men. He opened a shoe store at lou
FAYETTEVILLE street eighteen months ago
Since then so rapidly has bis trade IN
creased that he has now found 1t neces-
sory to greatly enlarge his stock. This,
of course. demanded larger quarters
and these Mr. Pool finds in the building
formerly occupied by the Raleigh Sta
tionery Company, III Fayetteville
street.
The work of moving the stock began
Yesterday morning. The new store is
Directly across the street from the for
mer place of business. 1t is three times
as large as the old store The change
was necessitated by the great demand
made for space by Mr.. POOLS ever in
creasing number of patrons.
Everything is to be in elegant shape
in ft " days. The interior of the store
has been so arranged as to make it II
pleasant place to spend ones time and
the stock is one of the largest ever
placed before the public in Raleigh. The
object of Mr.. Pool is TO make the estab-
lishment the best in the whole State. A
new stock Of shoes, the latest and best,
has arrived and is being shelved in
the new store.
Mr.. Pool will still be assisted by Mr..
7. r. Pearce and Mr.. Daniel Allen, who
have heretofore made his store popular
and they win always be ready to please
their customers.

PENSIONERS IN OTHER STATES
Six Pension Warrants in Wake County
are Unclaimed.

A large number of applications for
pensions are coming in to the State audi
tor from old soldiers who enlisted in the
army from North Carolina, but have
since moved to other States to live. OF
course. under the law, they are not en-
titled to the relief they ask. The State
only undertakes to care for those within
its own borders. An old disabled sol
der in North Carolina is entitled to a
pension. no matter from what State he
enlisted or how short a time he has
been here, but while he is Il resi-
dent of another State that State is eX-
pected to care for him.
Six pension warrants-one soldier and
four widows-granted in this county,
have not been called for and will be sent
back TO the State marked unclaimed"
These warrants are drawn in favor Of
the following persons:
William J. Brown ($15.J0).
Frances Partin ($15.50l.
Harriet Wilson ($1550.
Mary Philips (S15.50).
Mary Munds ($15.50).
Candis Gladner (S15.J0), dead.
Last year all the warrants were claim
ed. 1t is not, known whether the first
five in the above list are living or dead.
If they are still residents of the State
they can get their pension by applying
to the State Auditor.

OUR slEKGEIANT MARINE.

1t Is no compliment to the United
States to have 1t said that while the
merchant marine of our English cousins
across the big water has steadily in
creased and, grown, that Of this coun-
try has as steadily decreased. 1T is
cited that thirty-elght years ago we
owned as many merchant vessels as
Great Britain, but now that nation
owns more than three times as many
as the United States. A very large
bulk Of the foreign trade of this tcoun-
try is carried by foreign vessels and It
Is not creditable in the least that it is
so.
In order that some idea may be gain
ed of how the tonnage Of our merchant
marine has decreased since 1860, and
how that Of Great Britain has increased
at the same time. the following table is
given:
