emit organization Of capital in connec,
ton with corporations and trusts that
are clearly permanent. The time is
past, and that forever, when the work
man will own his tools. Henceforth he
will have nothing to sell but his skill
and labor The tools of modern civil
iz9tion are so complex and costly that
in the great factories, in mines, and in
transportation, the laborer cannot
afford to own them. He himself can
use but a small part of the tool, and
apart from that use his labor is worth
less. Deprived of that use his skill is
Of no avail and he is helpless. The
tool in modern industry is a part Of a
vast complicated System of machinery
devised for the purpose Of making
labor more efficient. Its cost runs into
| thousands and hundreds of thousands
of dollars, and hence the division Of
labor which has 90 multiplied human
power has entirely aud forever sepa
rated the workman from his tool, and
to restore the old conditions would be
to set back the dial of human progress
many degrees and certainly destroy
the present social and industrial
order"
Such is the problem. To talk of q
change of conditions, to talk of the
trust problem settling itself, is idle and
dangerous. As a non partisan weekly,
one of the most powerful and one Of
the most conservative in the country,
recently said:
Inventive genius-planting, har-
vesting and manufacturing by mechan
ical methods-has made it possible for
one mans labor to supply the @ OF
life and comfort to hundreds; and the
same inventive genius, calling to it's
help vast combinations of capital, has
created conduits for the distribution
and exchange of commodities over
large spaces Of the globe, by land
and sec.
Mutually, the nations that are most
intelligent and enterprising render the
largest service and reap the largest
benefits. Naturally, also, a small
minority of any population become
captains of industry, and directors of
the great financial operations which
fill the sluices of business, and make
the mighty wheels go round.
This situation makes two things
possible. The strong and prosperous
nations have it in their power to crowd
and Cypress the lower or slower c
that will make up the large majority
Of mankind, and the few men whose
genius for management, or advantage
Of position, places them in the lead,
can compel their fellows to pay them
undue tributes and to depend on them
for permission to live on the planet.
TN shors, we have reached a condi
ton where the human multitudes, by
generous eq litable dealing, might live
with less exhausting labor and more
rational happiness than ever before;
and yet it is a condition where the SCI
fish use OF power may easily create
new and cruel forms Of tyranny and
serfdom, which must be the seeds of
C )nftct and revolution
This is a broad and sensi Die view of
the case.
The trust problem will not settle it.
self, because ia human nature there is
that greed and covetousness, that lust
Of power, that has asserted itself in
every land and in every age. II the
people would preserve their free
dom, they must remember that "eter.
nal vigilance is the price of liberty"

SCHOOL STATISTICS

Prof. Mebane, our popular Safe Su
p~erintendent of Public instruction, has
just compiled some very interesting
statistics regarding North Carolina
public school work for the scholastic
fiscal year ending June 3Otb, 1899.
From these statistics it appears that
school fund receipts for the year just
ended were as follows:

Disbursements for previous fiscal
years we're 1881 082, showing S., 800 in
crease in eXOanses With this increase
in cost and $50 600 decrease in receipts
it appears That the legislature's 800,
900 appropriation will be needed 20
bridge over the chasm.
The census OF school children also
brings some surprises According to
figures received by Mr., Mebane the
number OF white children OF school age
has decreased from Ala 213 last wear to
4O8, 787 this year, aud number of col
ored children from 213 2l8 to 1913 600
in same period. The average attend
ance Of whites hes decreased from IA.

figures entirely trust worthy.

III LAC "4OA SAO6C
for the year ending June 3Oth, 1898, it
seems that school fund receipts have
decreased from 1886 514 in 1898 to 1885,.
SCI, this year-a total decrease of
ABOUT $50, 600, the amount received
from State Treasurer being nearly e47,
600 less than last year. with a decrease
in receipts from general poll tax of
about S15 600 and general property tax
Of about IS 600. We have no explana-
ton for this showing Nevertheless,
receipts this year are nearly $75, 900
above those Of 1897
Coming to disbursements il appears
that our school work has been more
costly this year than last. Disburse-
ments were as follows:
Paid teachers of white schools $500 Ais
Paid teachers of C d. schools. ZIG 491

Bar in u Church.

A wealthy brewer of Milwaukee has
done many things anent his brewery to
cause comment but his latest move in
buying one of the oldest churches in
the city and Transforming the house Of
worship into a saloon, the likeness of
which does not exist in this country,
surpasses all his previous exploits.
The First German Methodist church
was established half a century ago. 1t
adjoins his brewery, and has for long
time been greatly desired by the brewer
so he paid handsome price for it, and
the congregation moved into another
home. The building is now being trans
formed into a saloon.
In the basement, where Sunday
school was formerly held, beer vault
will be established, the old chancel be-
ing used as the bar. In the auditorium
of the church proper a banquet hall is
being fitted out. and where the altar
was there is now being erected stage
for the entertainment Of the guests who
may meet there
The beer vault will be fitted out in cd
Teutonic style with historic battle axes
and furs for decorations The whole
building will be made as unique as pos
sible, and will be remodeled at big ex-
pense. The church spire will be trans
formed into an observatory.

Buried the Wrong Box.

1t is not often that mans funeral
is funny enough to make his near rela-
tives laugh. That. however, is what
happened at the funeral Of DR.. Kellogg
of Ashland, 0. The Kellogg family is
an old and respected one in town, and
as often happens in old families of
small towns, is connected with nearly
every other family in ,.he town.
DR.. Kellogg died in New York He
was widower, without any children,
and left orders in his will for his body
to be cremated and the ashes deposited
in the grave of his wife at Ashland
Mrs. Patterson, a cousin, was directed
to carry out this request. The death
of the doctor ,cast a gloom over the
whole big family of kinsfolk. Mrs Pat
terson telegraphed directions for the
cremation of the body, and watched
anxiously for the arrival of the remains
One morning the, expressman drove up
with the box. A funeral was held and
attended by Ashland in a body. The
wife's grave was opened, the box depos-
tied solemnly, and the mourners dis
persed.
A few days afterward Mrs. Patterson
received a small zinc box, about the
size of the first. She was Mortified to
find that this last box undoubtedly con-
tanned the ashes of her cousin, Dr. Kel
logg. She knew. of course, at once that
something else no telling what, had
been deposited in the cemetery in lieu
of the doctor. A quiet investigation
was made. 1t was found that another
Mrs. Patterson in Ashland, a sister-in-
law, had sent dress to dye firm in
New York. The box containing this
dress had been deposited in the grave
of the late Mrs. Kellogg.
A second and very quiet burying was
held, at which only Mrs. Patterson and
the sexton We're present. The story
was too good to keep, and was soon
passed around.

ability to vote such a large registration
IN the time allowed. In order to record
the complete vote, it is necessary to
vote two and one-half votes per min
ute. and this the judges were unable
to do. AS a consequence nearly 200
votes We're shut out. In the other
wards there was no difficulty in record
ing the votes of all who presented
themselves at the polls. The heaviest
vote for the republicans was in the
Seventh and Eighth wards. The heavy
republican vote in the Seventh ward
was due to the fact that many en-
ployes of the Parrot, Butte & Boston,
Boston & Montana companies reside in
that ward. The heavy republican vote
in the Eighth ward was due to the thor
ough colonization of the ward from
employees of the Butte Reduction works
and the Colorado smelter living outside
Of the city limits.
j. A. Lewis. democratic candidate for
alderman in the Fourth ward made
magnificent fight in the strongest re-
publican ward of the city. He was de-
feated only by 40 votes, running away
ahead of the rest of the democratic
ticket He was the only candidate to
run ahead of Mr.. McCarthy's vote in
any ward. This is owing to his person.
al worth and to the splendid record he
made as member of the legislature.
The count was late in being complet-
ed, owing TO the heavy vote in each
ward and the large amount of scratch
ing. Both sides rejoiced during the ev-
enlng. The democrats rejoiced because
they elected the mayor and three al
dermen, had received the Endorsement
of the citizens of Butte on their reso-
lutions, has disposed. forever of the
Clark faction as feaSure in democratic
politics and had ESTABLISHED beyond
democratic party. The republicans re-
joiced because they We're not beaten
so badly as they feared they would be,
having won the city treasurer, the po-
lice magistrate and five aldermen. The
vote on the office of mayor Is as fol-
lows.
