opposes any disfra hchiI kment of the
negro. but drops the begr& schools, and
in the end but fewinegfoes will be
partly educated Nofth Carolina, on
h other hand, proposes Ito make an
educational test for negroes, but to
still literally appropriate hundreds OF
thousands of dollars annually to SO
educate them that they may stand the
electoral test if so minded. Which
plan is more generous and benevolent
and considerate?
Governor Gambler, CT Georgia, favors
the dropping plan. In his recent an
nual message to h legislature, he
stands for strict justice, fot giving to
the noe of each race what the tax
payers of each race contribute To the
education Of their own people. We copy
a part Of what he says, in which he
contends that education has not re-
duced crimes among the negroes:
IF by education in the tdxt books
taught in h schools crimel was di-
minished, as many OF US at bne time
hoped would be the case, there might
be some reason for imposing even
heavier taxes upon u people, for the
support Of schools. But this is not
true, for il is a startling fact, es-
tablished by the experience of thirty
years, that. while unoer our system
Of free schools i~lliteracy has rapidly
decreased, especially among OUT color
ed population, crime has much more
rapidly increased among them. y
Ninety per cent. Of the crimes COM
mitted by negroes are committed by
those who have had the opportunities
of free schools, and only 10 per cent.
by the ex-slaves, who are illir crate,
while 80 per cent. of the property &C
quired by the race since emancipation
is in the hands of the e~x-slavesI and
not in the hands of those educated in
the free schools"
This is the statement of a white gov
ernor who has shown himself the friend
of the negroes in his state. His state
ments are probably true, and in accord
with statements heretofore made as ex-
listing in other parts of the south, and
even in the north, in Pennsylvania and
New York for instance. We believe
that the wiser, better way is to adopt
the mendmen to the North Carolina
constitution, and to continue to try to
educate the negroes mentally, morally
and physically. That is the movement
now in North Carolina.
The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1899-12-12
A RADICAL EDUCATIONAL MOVE
MENT.

There is a movement in Georgia and
Mississippi we had not seen until yes
terday. It is by the legislatures of those
two states. 1t is to cut down the ap-
propriations for negro schools, and to
force the negroes to educate their own
children. The argument seems to be
this, as we find in The New York
Tribune of the 5th instant:
white parents are dissatisfied with
the educational facilities afforded to
their children. The cost of h negro
schools is in utter disproportion to the
amount of taxes paid by the blacks.
Why should the white mans money
go for the education of the black mans
children, while his own lack satisfac-
tory opportunities? Let the black man
pay for his own schools. There is logic
in that, the logic whose history is
written in 'scarped cliff and quarried
one"
The Tribune a~ntagonizes of course
and thinks the whites after spending
tens Of millions in negro education
should keep on Smelling u for the
same purpose. AS yet in North Caro-
lima there is 10 widely prevailing opin-
ion favorable to cutting out the appro-
priation for negro schools. Georgia

COSTLY GEMS STOLEN.

Diamonds by the dozen. cores Of
rubies, hundreds Of emeralds, sapE
phires by the handful, gold-glittering
chrysoprases, pearls-large and small
ones-turqoises of various kinds and
sizes, rare and costly chloromelanities
all in one large envelope, were stolen
from the pocket of Daniel Earl, a
wholesale diamond dealer in the
Champlain building, the other after
noon. The gems are valued at 1888,
and Mr.. Earl kinks the envelope was
taken by a pickpocket in an elevator
of the building.
AS was his custom at 4:30 o'clock ev-
cry Saturday afternoon, Mr.. Earl gath
cred together his most valuable gems
and put them into a large envelope,
intending to take them to his safety
deposit vault in the Masonic Temple.
On leaving his office he had several
packages to carry, so he slipped the
envelope into his left-hand coat pocket
and took the parcels in his left arm.
When he reached the elevator shaft.
a man was waiting for a descending
car. When it came the man crowded
into the car beside Mr.. Earl. Just at
hat time Mr.. Earl was thinking of
business affairs. and he did not discov-
er his loss until he reached Washing
ION street. Then he remembered the
man VINO had iostled him in the ele-
vator. He Immediately went to the
central station and a W the police a
description of the man who role doyvn
in the elevator car with him. Detec-
tives think the larceny was committed
after cir. Earl had been spotted and
shadowed.-Chicago Record.

might gather together in one all things
in Christ, both which are in leave
and which are on earth; even in Him."
(verse 10.) This seems to point to the
universal church. the one church of
God. That Christ is the Head, and
that all who believe in Him should be
gathered together. and that He is both
Head of the redeemed in glory as we'll
as of men on earth. All who believe
unto salvation are surely capable of
being included in his vast gathering.
Gods plan and purpose in His merci-
full redemption wrought out by Je.us
Christ was that all believers should
be saved-all whose lives correspond
with pofession and who live faithful
to Him-that these of every cline and
nation, of every race. should be gather
ed into close union with Christ on
earth and be numbered with Gods
elect and be one with the Father as He
and the dear Son are one. Surely the
benignant and loving Father has liter
ally abounded to His children in the
riches of His grace and in the precious,
rich gifts he has bestowed upon them
through the Lord Jesus Christ. We
need, therefore, to be no longer ignor-
ant and Dl1nd-ignOrant or DUTY ana
blind to the sacred truth. He has
clearly revealed His will, shown, US the
way of life, given US the plain, positive
promises of His Word, and told US that
His purpose was to gather together all
the faithful and pure in Christ. This
being eternally true why shall any
doubt the goodness and mercy of God,
and why shall any one falter or fail
who has the assurance Of Gods love
and promise? Why should we not
rather regard ourselves as the favored
of Heaven, as having been chosen in
Christ even before the foundation Of
the world, that we should be holy and
without blame before Him in lover
God says we may thus regard our
selves if we live for Him, Heaven and
eternal life.

Correspondence Of TIE Messenger.)
Wilson. N. c., December 9.
At a meeting Of the tobacco people IL
was decided to close the market on De-
cember 2 nd until January 4th.
Tobacco has been doing very well
during December. Yesterday the sales
mount to over 100, 900 pounds. Prices
were not as good as usual. but farmers
realized that just on the eve OF the
Christmas holidays is a bad time to sell
tobacco.
The eacherf Of Wilson county have
formed a county teachers associa .a4
The following officers have been elsct-
ed: w. j. Dale, president: Stephen
Coleman, vice president; Jas w. Hayes,
secretary, and Mrs. w. L. Deed, treas
urer. A meeting has been called for
January 9th to discuss the subject OF
reading. At each meeting some branch
Of the common school course will be
taken up and discussed. In addition to
the discussions by the teachers Of The
county, an effort will be made to have
some prominent educator with the as
ISOLATION at each meeting.
The Wilson Oil Company have decid-
ed TO wait until January to per their
mill.
The opera house will be opened in
Wilson after January. Mr.. w. +. An
derson, owner OF the building. has
taken out license for four months. He
will have the building reitted. Our
amusement hall has in the past been
very poor and all are very much pleas
ed at the prospect OF having a decent
hall.
DR.. Albert Anderson has resigned
mis- position as city superintendent of
health. His practice in Wilson and the
country has become SO taxing that the
owe was necessary.
The Sunday law against drug stores
being open has beer repealed. The
stores will in h future be open on
Sundays.

MACS

The message of Mckinley is being
sharply handled all around the circle.
The New York Evening Post, Mug
wump, sees the sophisms n i~nconsist-
encies and punctures them. II rightly
sees that he avor subsidies while
conveying it euphemistically as the
re-establishment of u merchant ma
rine," which, by the way, was almost
entirely destroyed by stupid, blunder-
ing republican legislation. 1t will cost
as a start So, 600, 900 a yea ITO carry out
the corrupt presidents plan. The Ev-
ening Post regards the presidents re
marks about trusts as slightly comic
reading" But there is no danger really
to the trusts in McKinley's shuff1ing
and juggling and literary fiOurishcs.
The Post says that 1--WE think the spec
ulators will be treasured when they
discover what purely stage Iightnings
they are which Mr.. Mckinley hurts at
them. He has simply raised the oTdi-
nary antitrust plank to the nth
power, in his firm opposition 10 all that
is bad in trade combinations, united
with an equally firm refusal to say
what is bad of to suggest a remedy"
We mentioned before the studied
silence of Mckinley as to the high war
robber tariff tax while pretending to
oppose the devilish, baleful trusts. The
Evening Post notes this and says not
a word, of course, abOut the trusts IA
are sheltered behind the tariff, though
several witnesses before the industrial
commission, to which the president re-
fers, have shown that the tariff is the
mother of trusts"
Secretary Root in his report, tool a
straightout position for free Cuba, but
Mckinley has no decision, no direct,
positive, clear-cut opinion on any
measure, and so he scapters about Cub
and while limiting vaguely at an in
dependent government he still init
mates that Cuba must be finally an
nexed. He writes of organic" union
of this country. His long palaver will
leave Cubans in great doubt, and the
Post intimateS that there were w
hands employed upon the Cuban part
of the long-winded message. And so he
scatters and splutters over the Philip
pines. The Post we'll says:
Yet while protesting to leave the
Whole thing to congress, he asserts
that the islands cannot be abandoned
by us, and goes out of his way to ar
que against the plan OF giving the na-
tives an independent government un-
der an American protectorate. There
is not a hint Of intending to secur the
consent of h governed, though, OF
course, the president ssum that the
majority Of the Filipinos are ready and
anxious to have him come and bless
them by force"
