Dewey and Won Diederichs.
lPhiladelphia RecOrd.l

Perhaps the arrival of the German
tlrst-class cruiser kaiserin Augusta at
Manila was one of the "political rea-
sons" for Admiral Dewey's request
that the Oregon be expedited on her
voyage to the Far East. 1t was for
"political reasons also that our naval
commander in the Far East desired
higher rank. Both Won Diederichs
and Sir +. Hobart Seymour, British
Commander-in-chief on the China
station. are vice admirals, outranking
Dewey, who is only rear admiral.
Seymour has three batteships. and
Won Diederichs one battleship, be-
sides several other first-class ships,
while the American flagship Olympia,
although one of the best vessels of
her size. ranks lower. The Ameri-
can commander. should be the equal,
If not the senior, in rank of any for
elgn officer with whom he NAV come
in contact, and should fly his flag
from as strong a ship, or a stronger

he should not remain inferior in both
respects.

Two Democratic Leaders.
washington PCSt.)

Perhaps it would be better to de-
scribe them as one leader and one
back-number-we refer to William j.
Bryan and Grover Cleveland-f the
former is alert, instinct with life and
vigOr, strenuous, enthusiastic, virile,
and the other reeks with the dullness
and the gangrene of Mugwumpery.
Cleveland left his party weaker, more
discordant than he found it. Bryan
took up the dying embers of its spirit
and famed them into raging flame.
He gave his party inspiration, fervor,
hope. He animated and revived it.
Despite the assertions and the treach-
cries wrought by vanity and avarice
in 1896, he developed some 700, 900
more votes than had ever been cast
for any Democratic candidate before,
including Mr.. Cleveland, and he gave
to the country the spectacle OF an
ardent, united, and homogeneous
party organization. While Mr..
Cleveland, thrice the nominee of
Democratic National Convention and
indebted to the party for all his emil
hence and prosperity-while Mr..
Cleveland sat apart, a sullen con-
spirator against his quandam bene-
factors, encouraging intidelity and
lending party wickedness, Bryan
famed in the forefront of the battle,
striking and invigorating figure,
the incarnation of youth, and
strength, and ardor. He relit the
fires Of Democratic zeal. He gave
the party life, put blood in its veins,
and set its pulses throbbing. He
held thousands in the grasp of his
imperious eloquence, and sent them
from him tuned to loyalty and hero
ism. He took the dead carcass of the
Democracy from the ground upon
which his predecessor had contempt
uously flung it, and filled it with the
fire and the JOY of youth.
Say what one may as to the sound
ness of the doctrine Mr.. Bryan preach
ed there can be no two opinions as to
his qualities of leadership. Mr..
Cleveland hid himself in the temple
of his party, solemn. owlish, heavy
as pagan idol, but Mr.. Bryan took
the vanguard of his army and led it,
a palpitating and inspired force, into
the red vortex of the fight. The one
was an oracle, hid away in caves,
yelled in mystery, manifesting him
self in rumblings and strange noises.
The other, an impetuous apostle, with
bright sword and flashing armor,
cleft the way for those that followed
him. No doubt there are doting and
infatuated idolaters who still await
another advent of the Mugwump dis
pensation. another revelation Of the
Mugwump fetch. But the Democracy
on the fighting line have done with
ecstacy and superstition. He who
leads them next year must be thing
of flesh and blood warrior himself.

Breakers and Dangers Ahead.
wilmington Messenger


1t really looks as if the liquor sell
ing question was more dangerous to
Democratic solidity and harmony in
North Carolina than the gold question
was in 1896. Great excitement pre-
walls in some communities over the
dispensary and it appears as if
personal dislikcs and party bickcr-
ings would grow out of it. This is
very unfortunate for the future sue
cess ofthe partyas well as for the peace
and happiness of towns. The moral
aspect of the question impresses
many sensible people, but the
strange thing is, that large number
vote for dispensary upon moral
grounds, while another equally in
telligent number vote against the
dispensary upon strictly moral
grounds. Senator Osborne was under
sharp fire because of his course rela-
tive to a dispansarv for Charlotte He
was indicated by the Senate by Il
vote of 81 to II. In his speech clos
ing the debate he said:
MY God has not told me that the
dispensary is good thing; he is
silent on the subject. Whether a
church member should run a dis
pensary and sell liquor for hire con-
fess my mind cannot grasp"
The writer of this would say that
he has not touched liquor or wine or
beer or cider or any kind of intoxi-
cant for nearly twenty-six years, and
is not remotely to be suspected of
leaning towards the bibulous. On
the other hand in 1881, he voted for
the temperance movement and would
do so again, but he has never been
able to view the dispensary business
in such a favorable light as to Justify
him in making an entire community
responsible for selling liquor and
helping to make drunkards, or to
vote ..blood money" to the public
schools. He have never been dis
posed to abuse or think evil of any
moral man who could not view the
question in the same light. 1t is a
question that is very unfortunate at
this time for the harmony of the
party and the success of the White
Mans party in 1000 most impor-
tant election indeed. The Messenger
is very anxious to see the party
heartily united, and striving to put
the State upon the great highway of
peace, prosperity and safety. After
the most strenuous and exciting cam
paign of 1898, it will be most I'M
fortunate in every way if the fruits
OF the magnificent victory should be
lost in any particular by reason of
jars and chickering's and personal
antagonisms.
The amendment to the constitution
is to be voted upon. and if lost by
party discussions it will be re-
proach and evil that will not down.
1t will raise an issue hereafter more
fateful and exciting than any that
has occurred. Let us have peace in
the party. A man who calls him.
self Democrat and white man and
who would be willing to defeat the
amendment and raise again in North
Carolina the question of negro
supremacy is treacherou> and an
enemy.

Northern Books in Southern Schools.

This from one of our State en-
changes is on the right line:
a united effort on the part of the
Southern people should be made to
drive out of our schools. books that
defame the Southern people. Re-
Gently in Virginia the Confederate
veterans were indignant at the
vicious and false histories used by
their children. and were very much
disguised with many of the other
books. They determined by united
efforts to drive out of our schools
these unfair books that were rapidly
teaching the rising generation to look
upon their fathers at traitorS-men
who fought and sacrificed their lives.
their property, their all. with the
highest aims and purposes in view.
BY their efforts many of these worse
than worthless books have been ban
ished from the schools of the South.
and in short time all of them will
be relies of the past. Northern pub
fishers realize that to hold their grip
on the Southern school book trade
they must cultivate the acquaintance
of Southern authors, who have here
tofore been entirely ignored Some
were unwise enough to try the half
and-half process. mixing Northern
errors with Southern sentiments. but
these plans, however plausiblv laid
and skillfully worked, will not meet
with permanent success.

The New School Law.

The bill to codify and amend the
school laws of the State is OF con-
siderable importance. The law abol-
ishes the county board of education
and establishes the county board of
schools, of three members, chosen by
the General Assembly who will serve
for two years. This board will elect
the superintendent of schools, who
will take the place of the present
supervisor. The township feature
of school supervision is retained, but
it is changed so that the county
board elects for each township a
board of three directors, and this lat
ter board elects three directors for
each school district. The school dis
trict committeeman will, as in the
present law, have charge of the
school property, elect the teachers,
etc. The township board is required
to divide the money among the school
districts according to the needs OF
each district.
Each township is unit for pur-
poses of local taxation, and on petit
ton of one-fourth of the qualified
electors the county commissioners
shall call an election for the purpose
of levying special tax for school
purposes. The special tax must not
exceed 80 cents on the 800 of prop
erty nor 80 cents on the poll.
Each town of not less than 1000
inhabitants is made school district,
and upon petition of one-fourth Of
the electors the aldermen are required
to call an election for the purpose of
levying special taxes for school pur-
poses, the limit being the same as
for townships. The aldermen may
appoint board of not less than five
nor more than seven school directors
for the town. This clause OF the law
enables towns to establish graded
schools without the necessity of a
special act.
The law provides also for State
board of three examiners, which is
given control of the colored normal
| schools with the power to prescribe
courses of study and appoint the
local board of trustees.
A feature of the law that is entirely
new to this State is the provision for
public high schools in each township.
On petition of majority of the
electors the board of directors for the
| township are required to set apart
funds to maintain high school to
teach more advanced branches than
are usually taught in public schools.
TO this school all children of the
township of a certain advancement
are eligible, separate schools for the
races being provided for.
One section Of the law provides
that the text books adopted and now
in use in the public schools shall con-
tinue in use until 1902
| The faculty OF the State Normal
schools and A. & M. colleges are re-
quired to hold county institutes,
funds being set aside for their pay
| ment.

"If," he detained, lit has truly been
said that he who makes two glades OF

The puzzled look on the face of a
deaf old member in front pew led him
to pause and repeat:
THAT he is a benefactor who makes
two grades of blass-"
Smiles throughout the house, and his
own sense showed him there was
something wrong, but with an attempt
at lightness, he said airly:
"As l meant, two brades Of glass;"
The choir was now keen-eared, and
the pastor felt as if he had met Dew
ey. So he shouted. 1.-TWO blods OF

Then the senior deacon had pity on

spoke, "our pastor has been upset by

WHY HE DIDN'T BID UP.
The Plight Of . Man Who Had . Weak
ness for Auction S0leS.

The Plight Of . Ma. Who Had . Weak
ness for Auction sales-
There was a red flag out In front OF
a farm house up in the Swift River
region in Oxford the other day when
Burns was driving past the place. He
can never get by an auction sale. There
Is something about bargain at vendue
that strikes him just where he lives.
So Burns hitched his horse and stopped
on the outskirts of the crowd. He re-
membered that at the last auction he
attended, he bought two pod augers
and an OK yoke. and this time he STEEL
ed himself lest he might commit SIM
ilar egregiousness. In fact he conclud-
ed that he would't bid at all.
But when the crowd got well walked
up over Jersey heifer, Burns Clipped in
a bid or two, and finally got to going
hard against red-whiskered man who
carried a whip in his left hand and ex-
perforated violently after every bid.
AS the contest waxed somewhat en-
ergetic. Burns reached for his pocket
book. His fingers ran down and down
into his trousers pocket until they slid
into good big hole. The pocketbook
was gone. You, who have found holes
in your pockets where wallets ought to
be, can. in some measure. appreciate
Burns's feelings.
He stopped bidding, and while the
red-whiskered man, still expectorating,
was paying down an installment on the
heifer, Burns pushed forward through
the crowd and got the auctioneer's ear.
That functionary listened intently.
Then he arose erect once more, and
in his professional drone commenced:
This gentleman informs me that he
has lost a pocketbook containing the
sum Of 5000. He offers the sum Of $40
for its return. Now"
I'LL give twenty" broke in voice
in the corner.
Thirty" cried another.
"Thirty-five," came in determined
tones from the administered man.
THAT was beyond what l could az
ford" says Burns, land SO came away
and left them bidding on it."
