ASTHMA CAN BE CURED
4 NOTED PHYSICIAN WILL PROVE THIS

The progress of modern medical
science has led to the discovery of
successful methods of treatment
for most of those maladies once
regarded as incurable. Asthma
has always been regarded as be-
longing to this obstinate class baf-
fling the skill of the greatest ply

know by their own experience that
little, if any, relief has been af-

tofore employed. DR.. Rudolph
Schiffman the noted physician
has, after a lifelong study of
Asthma and kindred diseases, dis
covered a remedy which not only
gives instant relief in the severest
cases of Asthma, Hay Fever and
Bronchitis, but has actually cured
thousands whose cases had been
pronounced incurable. So COM
plete is his confidence in his rem

cism of the public growing out of
the failure of other remedies, DR..

As TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
STATE SUPER/NIEKDENT'S REcOMMEK
DATIONS TO THE LEGISLATURE.

DATIOHS TO THE LEGISLATURE.
The StateSupelintendent of Public
Instruction has issued in pamphlet
form his recommendations to be
made to the General Assembly of
North Carolina. This is done in
order that they may be read and
criticized by newspapers, teachers
and other friends of public schools
before the full report is printed. In
this way the Superintendent hopes
to take advantage of any valuable
suggestions that may be made and
eliminate from his report any rec
concentrations that may not be
sound and for the best interests of
the public school system of North
Carolina.
In brief he makes in this pam
phlet the following recommended
tons.
l. That the State Board of Exam
liners be retained and its powers en-
larged.
2. That the County Board Of Ed
ucation be required to publish an
itemized statement annually of the
receipts and disbursements of the
school fund.
3. That no man should be eligi-
BILE to the Office of county superin-
tendent unless he is a graduate
from some college, or if not grad
uate, shall, at least, be competent
to take the examinations for life
certificate.
4. That no man should be eligi-
BILE to the office of school committee
unless he can write his name, is
qualified to do ordinary business
and is known to be in favor of pub
lie education.
i s. That the township system bt
, continued, the number of commit
teemen being changed to six in
stead Of five as at present-thret
, whites and three negroes, each race
tOcOntrOl its own schools.
e. That tho State BUard of Exam
, liners instead of the State Board o
Edu"ation have general manage
!, ment of the Colored Normal Schools
! and the number of these schools b,
} reduced to three = Elizabeth City
Fayetteville and Winston.
\ Z. That the adoption of text
: books be put in, the hands of tn
State Board of Examiners.
Q 8. That the gross earnings o
0 railroads, steamboat companies,etc
:, be taxed. This would add $4OO, 90
more to the public school fund.
4 9. That laws be passed encoul
' aging and providing for local taxa
ton and private contributions t
q the public schools of any district.
10. l advise that the Genera
Assembly give US some mild forr
9 of compulsory attention to begr
= with.
IL. I advise that we add Civ
= Government to our list of subject
= to be taught in our public schools.
. The most important thing til
. General Assembly of 1899 has to d
+ is to legislate to increase the schot
9 fund. l have tried to show no,
q this may be done elsewhere.
q The next act, in Importance, is
g legislate so that we may have

OPENING OF CONGRESS,
The Presidents Message Read-Proceed.
ineS UrintereStins.
The last session of the Fifty. first
Congress assembled Monday.
SENATE CONVENED.

When the Senate convened the
chamber presented a noble and beau
tiful appearance. BY IL o'clock the
public and private galleries were
filled almost to their capacity with a
distinguished assemblage, including
many ladies in brilliant attire.
On the floor, the display of flow
ers was unusually beautiful for the
opening day Of a session of Congress.
The odor Of flowers filled the cham
Der.
During Il recess of three quarters
of an hour, while the Senate was
awaiting the presentation of the mes
sage from the President the MEM
bers of the joint high committee
held an informal levee, greeting per-
sonally nearly all of the members of
the American Senate.
The reading of the Presidents
message, which occupied two hours
and eighteen minutes, was received
with very careful attention for an
hour, but after, TIE Senators drifted
to the cloak rooms or to the commit
tee rooms, where they could peruse
the message at their leisure in the
printed copies which had been fur
nished them.
When the clerk had concluded the
reading, Mr.. Mason, of Illinois, pre-
scented d telegram from Mr.. Pritch-
ard, of North Carolina, announcing
that illness prevented his attendance
at the opening of the session.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
In the House the greetings of the
members were most cordial, and
there was no outcropping Of partisan
rancor to mar the occasion. One OF
the most striking incidents was the
cordial meeting between the floor
leaders of the respective Sides
Messrs. Ding)ey and Bailey In view
of the gossip about the possibility of
Mr.. Bailey being deposed as the min.
ority leader, it is significant that the
Speaker named Mr.. Bailey as the
minority member Of the committee
to wait upon the President, an honor
always bestowed upon the recognized
leader of the minority. Speaker ReeC
received a warm welcome from both
sides of the House when he assembled
the rostrum to call the House to or
der; but perhaps the greatest person
al ovation to any member was tina
given Major General Wheeler, @
Alabama, who has not been seen b,
many of his old colleagues since HI
went to the front at the head Of tn
cavalry division of General Shafter'
army.
The floral tributes to day were un
usually numerous and made the hal
a veritable bower of beautiful flow
ers. The proceedings themselve
were dull, all interest centering il
the reading of the Presidents mes
sage. For over two hours the cler
droned through the long document
but the interest of members an
spectators never tagged. No expires
sions of approval or disapproval in
terrupted the reading.

The interview IN i ne losf yes
terday morning with Senator
Pritchar,l. of North Carolina, rel
alive to the appointment ri ne
groes 10 Federal uflic.~ in that
State, gives especial interest TO
some facts which eau now be
made public for the first iim. re-
garding these appointments.
The Post can assert, upon all
solute authority, that these very
appointments were the subject OF
disagreement between Senator
Pritchard and his Populist col
league, Senator Butler. The lat
ter had apparently very little sym
pathy with the appointment of
negroes TO Federal Office, and ii
was due to him, in fact, that ia.
confirmation Of more than one ne
gro official, nominated by the
President, was held up in the
Senate. Three cases can now be
recalled in which Mr.. Buffers
opposition was particularly mani
fest. In one Of these, the post
postmastership of Scotland Neck,
in Halifax county, Mr.. Butler Sc
cured the rejection Of the negro
nominee. The original charge
was that the would be-postmaster
was the father Of an illegitimat,
child, and later it was asserted
that he was interested in a bar
room, having apparently trans
ferred his ownership in order To
get the Presidential appoint
ment.
TWO OTHER CASES CITED.
The case Of the negro selected
for postmaster at Rocky Mount
was held up successfully by Mr..
Butler, the charge against this
appointee being that he allowed
negro loafers to congregate around
his Office, to the annoyance of tn.
public, besides which he was in.
efficient. In still another case,
the postmaster of Wilson, Mr.
Butler figured as the objector,
but although the confirmation
was delayed, the Senate finally
agreed to the appointment on the
eve of the adjournment of the ses
sion. The negro postmaster al
Wilson was quite factor in the
recent North Carolina campaign
Wilson is a pretty city of some
8, 900 people, and is quite a busy
railroad center, SO that the ap
poinment of a colored man Il
be its postmaster raised consider
able talk. The feeling agains
the negroes in the city was very
strong, and even Senator Butte
failed to keep an engagement t.
speak there. His effort to saw,
the city from it negro postmaste
was probably not known at tn
time.
1t ia said that a very spirite'
debate took place one afternoon
in executive session between Sen
ator Pritchard and Senator But
Ter, the former demanding promp
confirmation Of his negro ap
pointees and Mr.. Butler arguinI
for delay. In that debate MI
Butler told Mr.. Pritchard tina
the appointment of SO many nc
gro Federal officials would be re
sented by the white people of tn
State, and that the result woul
be- the return of white Republi
cans and Populists to the Demo
cratic party, even if a race wa
did not occur. It is said by thos
who heard the speech that Nj
Butler spoke like prophet, TO
he predicted the identical situa
. ton which has since attracted th
attention of the whole country.
