TWO MODEL INSTITUTIONS.
Biblical Recorder.

Biblical Recorder.
The time for the reopening of two of
our most useful and praiseworthy State
institutions is approaching, the schools
for the white deaf, at Morganton, and
for the white blind and colored deaf,
dumb and blind children at Raleigh. We
are closely acquainted with the Princi-
nails of both these institutions; and we
know some of the teachers and d1rec-
tors. We say candidly no home can do
for afflicted children what these schools
are DOING they educate them and rear
them tenderly and wisely. Every parent
of child whose condition Is provided
for by these institutions will perform
his highest duty to his child 10y sending
them to one or the other of these inst
tutions 1t is the duty of Christian peo-
tle to see that parents are persuaded to
scnd their children to these schools. They
have right to the opportunity our State
has provided so freely for them.

"CAN CUT AND RUN"
Columbia State.

Columbia State.
The conversion of Boss Croker from
n nowling imperialist, hungry for trop-
zeal islands at amy cost of blood and
treasure, into humane statesman
viewing with horror and eXecration" the
policy he so lately espoused, is ONE of the
cornical things of the day. His cOnclu-
sion that Bryan is ''as good a man and
leader as could be found" and his as
surance that he has no candidate" are
are almost as enjoyable. Croker was
converted in Europe, he says, but There
is no reason to doubt that the influences
moving him were American, not British.
Like Mckinley, Croker cam put his ear
TO the ground; and more fortunate than
Mckinley is at present, he cam cut and
rum when he hears the ominous rumble
of the storm. Even a boss is bossed by
his interests.

WHERE THE FARMERS STAND
Springfield Republican.

A straw vote of unusual EXTENT and sig

Home of this city among the farmers OF
the United States ON the question of
Americanism against Imperialism. Some
:, .0l0 legal voters express their views.
They are located in all sections and be-
long to all classes of political opinion,
though it is safe to say that. the large
majority are Republicans. They must
thus be considered as fairly representa-
tive of the great agricultural class. Most

What, then, was the attitude of farm

"MACHlNE RULE AN ENGINE OF RUIN. /"

They are having quite contest over
| the election of Senator IN Virginia
Governor Tyler and Senator Martin are
the candidates and the contest Is very
warm. Five years ago when Mr.. Mar
tin was elected Senator over Fitzhugh
Lee. it was charged that his success had
been procured through corporation in
fuences. and there is a deep-seated OPP
position to his reelection. Governor
Tyler. who was among the first of the
public men of the South to- repudiate the
Republicanism of the Cleveland admins
tration, is the candidate who is making
the race against Senator Martin. In
several counties, Within a few days
after Governor Tyler announced his can
didacy, the county committees called
nominating conventions which are de-
nolinced by Governor Tyler's friends
as the "snap" conventions of the party
machinery which in some counties is
said to be working in the interest of
Senator Martin
In public speech on Monday, Cover
nor Tyler rebuked those party officials
who undertake to dominate party poll
cies and defined the true attitude which
committeeman bear to the party. He
said:

CINE of ruin and destruction to their
party and their principles, and ought TO
be turned out / appeal to the people
of this State to see that justice is done;
that fair chance is given for an eX-
preston of the will of the people; that a

position that / did not believe was given
by majority of the people of this
State"
The party in North Carolina in times
before the 1894 deluge suffered because
in some counties the party officials ms u
their power as San engine of ruin and
destruction" by using It TO furth-
err the interest of one member of the
party as against another" When a party
official is so deeply interested in the
success of any candidate that he uses
the party machinery to advance his in
terest, he ought as Governor Tyler
says, ITO be turned out" If he remains
in charge his conduct works injury to the
party.
Without taking any part In the Sen
atorial contest. we trust the Democracy
of Virginia will turn out any machine
that seeks in any county to override
the will of the people, or that denies a
fair opportunity to all the voters to
register their will

GREAT TIME COMING.
Such q Season of Prosperity rs
the World Never Has
known.

Never in the history of the American
people were their business affairs in
such promising condition as they are at
the present time Wherever we look
tine evidence of prosperity is found.
Our exports are phenomenally large
and there is every indication that they
will grow to even greater dimensions.
There was time when we sold only
raw materials. but now our manufac-
tured products are finding such favor in
the eyes of the world that our Eu-
ropean rivals in trade have reason for
slarm. In a letter to the New York
World George Rutledge Gibson, refer
ring to this aspect of the question, says:
"As a result. we have at our command
un enormous international trade bal
ance which we can convert into gold at
any time. but we have what is more i'm
portant than that, relief from the
gold drain to Europe, which for several
years threatened gold payments in this
country. While free silver men were
agitating their policy gold was fleeing
away and the very underpinning of our
gold standard was being withdrawn.
This process went on for some time in
conjunction with treasury situation
which was weakened by monthly def
cits. The whole economic drift has now
changed. We have so far this year i'm
ported $13OO0O,O0O more gold than we
have exported, we have produced and
put into monetary circulation more
gold than any year within 80 years, and
we have at our beck and call millions of
European gold in the form of bills of
exchange carried by our bankers"
We continue to be the granary of the
world; populism. it is believed, is dis
appearing; the silver question no longer
cxcites serious alarm. though il will
continue to be agitated; this country
will not engage in war again for many
years. So everything is promising for
such season of prosperity as the world
never has known.-Albany Journal.

Average per month. l5,93S,535
In these receipts are included tea,
which may be called war tax, but it
is so easily raised and produces rev.
enue, the burden of which is justly and
lightly distributed, that it will in all
likelihood be long continued.
1t will be seen that the average for
these four months is but trife less
than SIG, 100000 a month. an average
which. if it holds out, will produce from
customs sum but trifle short of
$500, 900, 900 per annum.
Now for a fair comparison. Under
the last straight fiscal year of the Will
son tariff. ended June &c. 1896, the re-
ceipts amounted to $780, 021751, and last
year, owing to anticipatory importa-
tons to escape the new taxes, the re-
ceipts were but $15O,07s,75s.
All in all. republicans have no occa-
sion to be ashamed of the work of their
hands. There may be crudities here
and there nthe bill and slight changes
may be necessary, but taken as a whole
the bill will prove to be revenue
raiser, with burdens justly and proper
ly distributed.-Cinc Commercial

STANDS BY HIS PLEDGES.
President Mckinley VIII Keep Every
Promise Made at His
Election.

President McKinley's message to the
people of the west, delivered by H. ii
Hanna at the meeting of the New York
chamber of commerce few days ago
is an emphatic reiteration of his mes
sage to congress last year. What
word" said Mr.. Hanna on parting with
the president, "can ! take back to the
people of the west regarding the cur.
rency?" The president replied:
"Tell them l stand firmly for monetary
legislation. and that am determined that
every pledge the republican party made
along this line shall be kept"
Why is this message sent especially to
the west? Simply because, to the horror
of the west, it is here that the demand
for the fulfillment of the republican
pledges of 1896 are most insistent. The
president has been reading the returns
from the west. He interprets correctly
the magnificent majority in Ohio to
mean an Endorsement alike of the per-
| formances and promises of his admins
tration. So, too, of the round plurality
of $4,000 in Illinois, $4,000 in Indiana,
| $4,000 in Michigan, $4,000 in Iowa, 10000
in Wisconsin, and sound money gains
everywhere west to the Golden Gate
| that opens outward to our island en-
pire.
The president makes no new prom
ises. Nor does he give any intimation
| of favoring any of the currency reform
measures before the present congress,
He knows that no relief is possible in
| that quarter. But from his message OF
December 6, 1897, we know that Presi-
dent Mckinley is committed to none
tary measures that shall
81 Place the currency and obligations OF
| the United States on the gold basis BY
| statute.
"2. Impound redeemed greenbacks so that
| they shall not be reissued except for gold
thereby breaking the endless chain.
"3. Grant to national banks the right to
issue notes to the face value of the bonds
which they deposit for circulation and re-
duce the tax on such circulation to one-halt
| of one per cent
There need be no caucusing of repub-
lican leaders during the coming session
10 unite upon these propositions. There
are not differences of opinion to be
reconciled about them. There is no
novelty or intricacy of system involved
in them. They stand forth as the OBJ
vious and self-evident means to secure
the gold standard, break the "endless
chain" of repeated redemption and give
greater elasticity to our currency.
No preliminary conference of party
leaders was necessary to the calling Of
the extra session of 1897 for tariff re-
form, and none is needed to adjust diff
fcrences as to monetary reform before
the extra session. The divergence Of
views as to national banking and cur
rency that cannot be brought together
in the discussion of the extra session
can be relegated to the regular session
The people of the west send greeting
10 Presidnt Mckinley and beg to ex-
press their confidence in his determine
ton to call an extra session of the Fifty
sixth congress in March that the re-
publican party at the first opportunity
may keep its pledges of 1896 and 1895

Literary Ambition.

The reading club, on the whole, has
been a blessing as an educational in
fuence, writes Mary r. Baldwin, in
Woman's Home Companion, but there
are cases where light draughts from the
literary spring have not been bene-
fetal 1t must be owned that an ambi-
tion to become literary, when aroused
in shallow mind. often has the effect
of uniting it for probabilities of
achievement, while failing to refit it
for possibilities. To the superficial
woman whose desire is to get into the
trend of the fashion the paper" of the
literary club becomes deluson and a
snare. 1t tempts TO mental masquerad-
ing and plagiarism. and in many cases
has robbed women of needed rest and
OF naturalness that is part of their
charm. Having no very original
thoughts of given subject, and no
well-defned idea of its proper treat
ment. she takes the reference books,
not as suggestive helps, but in the way
Of completion, and so unconsciously
often becomes a cheat. and subjects
herself to intellectual decentralization.
