A Genethliac Incident.

In the Seventh district municipal court of
New York.
Yer honor knows speak the truth,
And this man did agree
To pay ten dollars-more than that
He ought to pay to me-
Because l only thought of one,
And then along came two!
Yer honor sees as clear as day
A double fee was due!'
"Now, Adam Born, good man, speak up,
If aught you have to say.
So great a blessing came to you,
Yet you have failed to pay"
"Der baby kan, and he vas twins
JOost touble purden-see?
One vas poy and one vas girl

"Der baby hav zvei mout' to feed,
He hav zvei bek to clot'e
So hard work! nicht kann pay
But half so much vor bote."

In silver clinklng sound,
And when the sum was counted out
Sufficient II was found
And now twas Mistress Miller's turn,
"With half III bo content,

Felt hght1ned of their sins,
And Adam Born went home to buy
Some sundries for the twins.

as a day of solemn Thanksgiving and
praise to Almighty God for His man

that they have nad from His gra-

free from pestilence, and the arms of
our State and nation have been
crowned with glorious success in a
war, undertaken for the liberation
and enlargement of people who were
struggling to be free and independ-

Now, therefore, 1 Daniel l.. Rus

day, November 24.h. instant, as a

AS TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Nrde NuperintendentsR Recommends Ion
to the Legislature.

S'ie SuperiDtendsnt's Recommends ions
to tho Legislature.
The State Superintendent Of Public
Instruction has issued in pamphlet
form his recommendations to be made
TO the General Assembly of North Car
0lna. This is done in order that they
may be read and criticized by newspa-
per-, teachers and other friends OF
public schools before the full report is
printed. In this way the Superintend-
ent hopes to take advantage of any
valuable suggestions that may be made
and eliminate from his report any rec
lamentations that may not be sound
and for the best interests of the public
school system of North Carolina
In brief he makes, in this pamphlet
the following recommendations:
!. That State Board of Examiners be
retained and its powers enlarged.
2. That the County Board Of Educa-
ton be required to publish an itemIzed
statement annually of the receipts and
disbursements Of the school fund.
3. That no man should be eligible to
the Office OF county supervisor unless
he 10 a graduate from some college, or
II not n graduate, shall, at least, b.
competent to take the examinations
for life certificate.
4. That no man should be eligible Ia
the office of school committee unless he
can write his name Is qualified to dc
ordinary business, and ~ known to be-
in favor of public education.
). That the township system be con.
tinued, the number of committee me
being changed to six instead of five a.
ut present-three whites and three ne
gr0es, each race to control its own
schools.
6. That the State Board of Exam
liners instead of the State Board Of Ed
ucation have general management OF
the Colored Normal schools; and the
number Of these schools be reduced e
three-Elizabeth City, Fayetteville
and Winston.
Z. That the adoption of textbook:
be put in the hands OF the State BoarC
OF Examiners
). That the gross earnings Of rail
roads, steamboat companies, etc, b,
taxed. This would add 100000 more
to the public school fund.
9. That laws be passed encouraging
and providing for local taxation anC
private contributions to the public
schools of any district.
~. duVlse tHaL Ine SeneFdI ASSEM-
bly, give US some mild form of cOmpul
sorry attendance to begi.. with.
IL. advise that we add Civil Gov
ernment to our list of subjects to b,
taught in our public schools.
The most important thing the Gen
rral Assembly OF 1899 has to do is Il
legislate to increase the school fund
have tried to show how this may b,
done elsewhere.
The next act, in Importance, is t,
legislate so that we may have wis
expenditure of this fund.

That the spy sent by the United

war should have become the guest Of

to have trained intellect that would

the facts. Crossing the frontier in a
first-class carriage, he was by trifling
accident brought into conversation
with young Spanish nolbeman; pres
emily who should come along but the
son of General Weyler. The acquaint-
ance led to his receiving many atten-
tions from Weyler when they reached
Madrid, and the General actually gave
up day to trip to the Escuriel. In

own q larger portion Of the globe
than that belonging to the United
States. Territorial expansion will
have to accomplish considerable be-
fore We can better our position,
judged by area alone, among the
posseesors of the earth.
The whole world is IN the hands
OF some sixty owners. For while
there are several times sixty differ
emit countries yet most of them are
only dependent Slater; mt owners,
but mere tenants, 50 to speak, Of the
face of the earth. Sixty national
landlords are not many for a world
having $1,000 600 square miles of
land surface, yet the tendency of the
times is to make tho number smaller
rather than larger.
Since 1915 there has been . gath
ering in Of larger areas under few
governments. Small sovereignties
have been combined or have been
swallowed up by greater ones. Tn.
Gle Sam swallowed one the other
day. During the last ten years es-
pecially the greater nations have
shown an almost Unsuitable greed fol-
territory. At last they have turned
to lend one of their own number.
China, that for thousands of years
has owned so large portion of the
globe, is about to be dism en- bored
and absorbed and its name dropped
from the list of the worlds owners.
To partly take the place of the ma.
tons that are losing their. hold upon
the earth some new sovereign land
holders may appear. Independent
Cuba is already announced to fill
the gap in the list left by Hawaii
But the times are against these
newcomers. Cuba herself, not ye,
quite born as a republic, is already
half christened as colony of the
United States.
Striking boundary lines as we'll az
possible We find that the greatest
landholding nations, those havina
territory exceeding one million
square miller, are as follows:

These nine nations own over three
fourths of the world.
The figures given for the United
States include Hawaii, but not the
yet intermediate territory We are to
acquire from Spain. Hawaii did not
bring with her large portion of the
earth. Yet GAO square miles make
a good sized stepping-stone for
Uncle Sam on his way to the Orient.
AS to Spanish territory, if We take
the minimum proposed, Porto Rico
and the vicinity of Manila, the ac-
QUESTION will be only about 4 1000
80 uare miles. If Porto Rico and all
the Philippines are retained the
United States will be larger by about
lis, 900 square miles. In other words,
our recent territorial gains through
peaceful annexation and by conquest
have a total area somewhere between
that of Massachusetts and that of
New Mexico. If we anticipate q
little and add Cuba the total area
gained becomes that of California.
All this OK pansion does not change
our position in the list of great land
holding powers. We yet stand lit
tie below France.
If We make q next smaller group
of countries, placing IN it those hay
ing areas from half q million to q
million square miles, We again have

no account being taken Of compare

The United States moves upward.
It passes France, China and Russia
upon the ground Of better territory,
better held. As to France, most Of
her possessions, outside the nation
proper, have but little Of the French
impress upon them. Much of her
territory she owns only in the sense
that it lies within the French "sphere
Of influence" As to China, she has
but . weak hold upon her share Of
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1898-11-10

These two groups of nations own
seven eighths of the globe.
SPANS position on the list is q
precautions one. Before the war she
stood better, just below Persia. The
figures given show her size after the
loss of Cuba. They will shrink
somewhat further in the hands of
the peace commissioners. If the
Philippines become American terri
tory Spain will drop out Of the group
altogether. The nation that once
owned more of the world than almost
any other will have shrunk to less
than twice the area of Texas.
Another nation in this group in
which Americans are interested is
Vene zuela. The figures given indi-
cate her share Of the world as she
claims it. But Great Britain claims
q larger part of the same territory.
The Intervention Of the United States
in the dispute led to the appointment
of commission, whose decision, If
in favor of Great Britain, may re-
duce the figures for Venezuela some
fifty thousand square miles.
