ANOTHER POP. APPOINTED.
Mr.. Chalmers Sims Gets Penitentiar,
Job.

Mr.. Chalmers Sims Gets Penitentiary
Job.
1t has been thought for several days
that the Governor was holding the
guillitine over the heads of some of the
penitentiary officials. 1t has even been
said that he has threatened the official
head of Warden Thomas Russell, his
big bud, but nobody has believed that
he was going to let that piece of pie es-
cape from the family even tho everything
else in the pen should escape, but his
excelency is said to be in /; sort of Il
semi-monthly rage and has been firing
12-inch INJECTIONS at everything in
sight. 1t is even noticed that the back
of Private Secretary Cade's desk is
turned towards the door leading into the
Governors private office. 1t is not
known why this was done unless it is
a precautionary measure on the part of
the Rev. F.. S. in case one of the fire
arms in the private office should acct
dentally or suddenly go off. But about
the changes at the pen the following item
clipped from the Concord Standard,
may be zephyr in advanceof coming
whirlwind of decapitation:
"Mr. Chalmers Sims. of this place, left
yesterday evening for Raleigh where the
position of night superintendent of the
penitentiary has been given him. Mr..
Sims is the son of Mr.. John A.. Sims,
who is Auditor Ayers assistant"

been open to all children. and a child
with no education at all could enter
1t; but for many years only those
people could enter the colleges and uni
versities of the State who had been
able at their own expense, to secure the
necessary preparation in secondary
schools, unaided by the State or any
other agency. A university open to all
the people, but with no schools with
in their reach to prepare them for the
university. is Il sort of mockery, from
the standpoint of Democracy.
But the most serious blundcr, and
the most remarkable one, is that for
nearly IL hundred years we have levied
taxes and appropriated money for the
support of educational institutions, where
only men could enter, and said to wo-
men. that they must get their liberal
education in their own way; that the
State had no concern about it. This
blunder had its origin in the undemo-
cratic idea of education to which / re-
ferred in the beginning. namely, that
education was to prepare leaders. The
church educated church-men as leaders
and the State educated statesmen as
leaders. AS it was impossible under our
conditions of thought and policy for II
churchman. we naturally came to the
conclusion that liberal culture was not
for her OF course many sections of the
country have grown out of this idea. and
the best educational institutions Of the
country are opening their doors to men
and women alike. and other States and
sections are making annual appropria
tions to institutions for women and are
raising endowments for their colleges.
But is is strange that we have been SO
slow to move in this direction. Our
theory is that we no longer educate men
merely for leadership but for greater
productiveness and better citizenship.
The money invested in the training of Il
man returns in increased productiveness
as a laborer. In other words, the divi-
dend on the investment is material. The
investment in the education of Il woman,
on the other hand, pays its dividend in
kind and results in the education Of
her own children or the children of
others. In other words, the education of
women propagates itself. The education
of men generally does not You cannot
improve the civilization of any people
except through their homes and their
primary schools. Homes and primary
schools are made by women and not
by men.
THE greatest problem in the education
of the race today is the proper treat
ment of the white girl in the country dis
tricts of the United States. And let us
remember that over half, largely more
than half, of the native American citi-
zenship is still in the country.
Whenever the United States Govern
ment comes to make another appropria-
ton from the land funds. it should he

ing of all classes of women for the in
dustrial welfare in which they are re-
quired to play so important part
IF we want real as well as theoretical
Democracy, then our chief educa tional

OyERTURES TO AGUINALDO.

clnes to divulge their import. United
States Consul Wildman asserts that Adj

his dispatches show that the Germans
continue to interfere, their action caus-
ing much anxiety, as it is said they are
assisting the Spaniards by landing to1r
and other supplies. and, moreover. that
the German officers have been seen in
the Spanish trenches.
"1'he Germans have not been careful
to observe the naval cOurtesieS required
by the situation. They have given Adj
mral Dewey much annoyance by going
against his regulations and by insisting,
on sending their boats around the bay
after dark. At the same time the Ger

Admiral Dewey that he has no intention
of giving offense to America and that his

BLANCO OPPOSES PEACE.
His Officers Protest Against Any Prop
osition With That End in View.

London, July ia special dispatch
from Madrid, published this afternoon.
says Captain General Blanco has re-
piled to the Spanish governments rel
terated representations in regard to
peace, by energeticaly protesting
against the idea of peace. The Captain
General says the report that the govern
mcnt has resolved to negotiate with the
United States. has had Il deplorable eff
feet, especially among the troops He
adds that deputation of officers chosen
by the army had begged him to convey
to the government their protests against
any proposition for peace, claiming that
nothing can justify Il cessation Of hosti-
tiles at present.
Continuing. General Blanco says:
THE army has only come into action
and thus far cannot be said to have suf-
fered IA reverse, although opposed numer-
ically to a far stronger force. The dep
utation declares that so long as it is not
conclusively proved that the troops are
incapable of successfully defending Gu
ba. Spain cannot treat for peace with
out dishonoring her army to the eyes of
the world. The Cuban volunteers are
even more violent opponents of peace.
They declare they will not recognize any
agreement concluded under the present
conditions, and that even deserted by
Spain they will continue the war them
selves"

WATTS BRIL- LIANT SPEECH
CHARACTERIZED AS THE BEST
MADE BEFORE COMMISSION
TAX VALUATION OF ALL ROADS
Taken Up by the Body -Reprt sensations Of the
Roads and Of Governor RUSSELL Given
Hearing Yesterday
Afternoon
Afternoon.

The Railroad Commission resumed it,
sitting at 8 o'clock yesterday morning
to hear the argument of General Coun
sci Watts for the Seaboard Air Line
against Il reduction of passenger rates
Judge Watts spoke for two hours and
his effort was pronounced the best thus
far made before the commission on that
matter. The speech was thoroughly
prepared and every point at issue was
ably and incsvely handled. Judge Watts
is Il man of fine presence, loklng not
unlike an English admiral.
Counsel began by comparing the vari-
Gus States of the Union and the nations
of Europe. and showed that North Caro-
lima had the lowest passenger rate to-
gether with the smallest population to
the square mile. In the Northwestern
States with three times as large Il popu-
lation to the square mile rates are high
err than in this State. In the Northern
States where the population is largest
where there are the most miles of road
and rates are highest prosperity is great
est and there is no complaint as to rates.
Judge Watts declared that the charges
on the Rai,,o-. and CASTOR road to sup
port the Georgia and Northern were le
Ultimate because it gave the road Il
through line and it is through business
that makes the Raleigh and CASTOR prof
liable, since it costs little more to move
a train of cars 100 miles than it does to
move it 10 miles.
1t was pointed out that while other
property in the State had appreciated
S12,000000 since 1890 railroad property
had appreciated S14,O0O,OOO in the same
time. Whatever prosperity there may
be in North Carolina had, he said, been
brought more largely by railroads than
any other agency. Railroads are the
brought into n State. They are followed
by the investment of capital in other
forms and to attack railroads or inn
pose unjust burdens upon them is the
surest way to prevent investments
in the State and thus to hinder its adj
vancement.
After hearing Judge Watts the com
mission reserved its decision in the case.
but there is larger probability of II re-
duction on the Raleigh and CASTOR than
on any of the other roads thus far cited
to appear. The revelations as to the use
of the bonds in behalf of the State it
is thought will have considerable influ-
ence with the commission.
The hearing of the Southern, Seaboard
and Atlantic Coast Line railways as to
the tax valuation on their lines WAS
taken up. COL Hinsdale represented the
Governor, Col. Snow the Seaboard, and
A. l.. Burton the Coast Line, and Col.
\. Il. Andrews read statement in be-
half of the Southern.
