Education in North Carolina is grow.
ing more important and more interest
ing. North Carolinians of the right
Ind believe in education, and they
believe in educational qualification us a
principle for voters. We have known
many really well qualified voters in the
mast who were illiterates. We said to a
distinguished citizen of this city some
two years ago that we had known uned-
ucated men prior to the war VINO were
singularly well informed politically, and
could handle a disputant with intelli
bence and force. They knew why they
were OF certain political party. 1hey
had learned much from abundant pub
lie speaking and from frequent con-
versations held with reading men ct
their political school, We recall an IL
Illustrative example: For twenty years
prior to the great war for second in
dependence a well known farmer lived
in excellent style about mile and a
quarter from the town of Oxford. 1t
was Col. lverson Hicks, and lac owned
a grist mill about Il quarter of mile
from his grove. He was a Democrat Of
the old school. He read closeiy, re-
tentively, intelligently the old Richmond
Enquirer, Tom Ritchie's famous news
paper, and the Raleigh Standard He
absorbed and mastered every number of
the able opponents of Jackson!an Democ-
racy. Col. Hicks was hard 10 handle i'll
political matters in conversation. He
had several plain men who brought their
grist to his mill. Every day he would
spend hours there, and would sit on
prepared logs with some of his nC;ghbors
and patrons reading to sheIn from The
two papers named and explaining and
enlarging upon what had been read. He
thus equipped them well for intelligent
voting, and they knew why they voted
the Democratic ticket and what meas
ures of Importance they represented. Our
friend referred to above confirmed cur
impression as we gave it, and said by
way of Endorsement that he rcmem-
bered white man in the employment
of his father who could not read, but
was of capital sense and well informed,
and had judgment that was excellent.
Such a man would vote with more dis
erection and wisdom that thousands of
men who had learned the Three Rs, and
gone beyond them even.
But let education be pursued Let
there be a genuine educational revival
all over the State. Let the school terms
be made at least six months in the year.
Let the school houses be far better than
those now used. and made every way
more comfortable. Let the grade of
teaching be made higher. To this end
pay better salaries and secure well
equipped and faithful teachers. Then
let all the children of a school age at
tend. After that illiteracy will be less
obtrusive, less violent.

M'KINLEY OFFICEHOLDER
BRAYS.

Ex-Representative Cultivate, who
was kept in a good office by Mckinley
in payment for his party treachery in
1896, is in Washington city talking. He
tells the Star that those Democrats who
oppose Organism are going to have a
strong organization ito contest the right
to use and to be considered the Demo
cratic party" If this contest fails, this
.'simon-pure" Democrat says "They will
take the wisest and best and most vigor-
Gus course to defeat Mr.. Bryan if he
should be re-nominated on the Chicago
platform, and they will succeed as they
did before"
Now, we submit that out of his own
mouth Mr.. Cultivate has shown HIM
self not entitled to be considered a
Democrat. yet such Republican tools are
being quoted as Democrats all over the
country.

CANDIDATE AND PLEDGES.

Let there be but one pledge exacted
by any candidate for office, and that one
that he will faithfully perform his duty
and strictly enforce the law. Anything
else<is us!-Cleveland Star.
The platform of a party contains its
pledges and declarations. A candidate
has no right to add thereto or take there
from. A party candidate or party man
ager is transcending his powers when
he makes pledges for the party to any
class or interest that is not contained
in the platform. No interest ought to
ask more than that; if any should de-
mand more, the demand should be re-
fused

WAIT FOR THE CRASH.
(Springield Republican,


One queer feature of the trust bust
ness, as noted in Wall street, is that
business men who have sold out to Il
trust at an absurd valuation, not caring
to risk any connection with what they
know so much about, are investing their
money in the securities of other trusts
formed and inflated in exactly the same
way. Thus the paper manufacturer who
has sold his business to n paper trust ut
a highly profitable figure, declining to
hold investments in combinations which
he knows all about, is buying stock IN the
steel and sugar trust, of which he knows
nothing beyond the fact that they must
be as inflated and unsafe as the paper
trust The leather manufacturer who
has sold out to the leather trust is in
vesting the proceeds, say in the tobacco
or oil trust. 1t offers a very striking
illustration of the blind perversity of hui
man nature, which is the chief support
of Wall street in its wilder periods.
