Some Improvement Contemplated in The
Institution

Some Improvement Contemplated in ,hs
Institution.
During consideration of the Calendar
yesterday Mr. Mclean. of Harnctt
called up the bill making an apprtpria
ton for the Institution for the Deaf
Dumb and Blind. in fhis city
The bill carries an appropriation OF
$4,000 for building, and $4,000
year for maintenance, provided the
number Of pupils does not exceed 200
Ii it does, then the appropriation is 10
be 5000 for each additional pupil. As
there are now 1873 pupils in the school
this would make the annual appropria-
ton, carried by this bill over $4,000.
In calling up the bill. Mr.. Mclean
spoke at length Of the institution. and
of the excellent work it has done and Is
doing. lie said he thought Il ought to
have every cent OF this appropriation
and more, too. if the State were able to
give it,
Mr.. Thompson. of OnsIow, SHE'D mt
the amount asked for, and wante to
know if each county didn't pay some
thing for each pupil sent to this school.
Mr.. Mclean said they paid $50 for
each pupil, but that this went fol-
clothing.
Mr.. Currie. of Moore. what has
been the cost Of keeping these children
heretofore in this school?"
Mr.. Mclean: '.The cost has beer
about 5000 per capita
Mr.. Currie: why does ii cost 81
much more than to teach the deaf, dun.
and blind here than at Morgant M
Mr.. MeLean ''At Morganion the,

Mr.. Mclean went on to explain tina

land near the colored institution ~ tn

it. This land can now be purchase,
for $40 an acre.

TO MAKE SOLDIERS OF CHINESE
England Preparing to Convert Natives
Into Militiamen of the Queen,

| From the New York Times
AS bearing, though somewhat obliuuely,
on several of our own problems in the far
east. 1t is worth nothing that, though the
English are not yet by anymeans well set
tied in their new Chinese possessions they
arc already preparing to ascertain what
can be done toward turning the Wearers
OF piStails into soldiers of the queen AS
now outlined the plan is Il modest one, the
intention being simply to raise in the 10

regiment of eight or 10 companies, but If
present expectations are realized the force
will be gradually increased The commits

say will all be Englishmen regularly
trained to the profession of arms. and a
majority of them will be men of long
proved ability in the instruction and
handling of oriental natives"
It had been proposed to recruit this
FIRST Chinese regiment or, at least, a
part of it, in the neghborhood of Hong
Kong, but, in view of the admitted ply
steal superiority of the Shantung popula-
ton. that idea has been abandoned, and
the regiment will be made up entirely OF
northern Chinese. Col. Hamilton Bower
of the Indian staff corps is to command
the regiment and he will be assisted by
company commanders who have seen SER
vice in many lands. 1t is not proposed
tIlaC the ISL CnlneSe De stationed perma-
nently in We-Hai-Wei: they will be sent
wherever needed, and Mauritius is already
mentioned as their first destination out of
China. The soldiers will be provided with
distinctive uniforms and good arms and
their pay Is to be considerably better than
that given-or promised-to Chinese in
their own service.
The results of this experiment can hard
ly be regarded as doubtful. General Cor

and well led, make excellent soldiers, for
though lacking in enthusiasm and without
the instinct of patriotism, they have stol-

are patient of discipline, and will obey Or
ders without question. 1t is hard to see
anything in the way of doing in the Phil
ippines what call be done in China. Of
our own islanders it can at least be said
that they have faced European regulars
successfully. Even under Gordon China

tallation would be detrimental to the
material interests of the Dominion.
such n policy would have the effect of
giving to England in large part, the
trade now done with this country, but
there is no reason to believe that
Canada would derive any benefit from
this. The fact is that the British prefer
ences already granted by the Canadian
government have resulted in no CORE
spending benefits to Canada. Having
tried the experiment of admitting Brit
ish manufactures at rates lower than
those imposed upon similar goods from
other countries, the Canadians have Sc
cured absolutely nothing in return.
They have been disappointed in the hope
of persuading the imperialistic govern
ment of Great Britain to admit Cana
dian food stuffs to the markets of the
United Kingdom upon terms more IA
vorable than those imposed upon like
staples from the United States,
Such being the case, 1t is not surpris-
ing to learn that the present rulers of
Canada are disnclned to do more than
has been done in the interest of British
manufacturers and that there is a grow
ing feeling throughout the Dominion
that Canada should govern herself with
u regard for her own Interests rather
than for those of England. Her inter-
ests are affected much more largely by
her trade relations with the United
States than with Britain and the state
ment is credible that the premier real
ICES that the Improvement of these rela-
tions cannot be secured by any trade
legislation hostile to the commercial iu-
tcrests of the United States.
The Canadian people should under
stand that the United States earnestly
desires closer trade relations between
the two countries, but this can only be
attained by such fair and equitable con
cessions as Canada has not yet shown
a disposition to make.

THE LAWYER IN POLITICS.
Career Common in England, Rare in
the United States.


The late Lord Herschell's career was a
striking example of what seems to be so
common in England and so rare in our own
countryside combination of eminence at
the bar and on the bench, with success and
distinction in politics. In the United States
a lawyer of the caliber of Lord Herschell
often gets on the bench-that is, If his pri-
vate fortune is sufficient to permit him to
sacrifice lucrative practice and accept the
pittance which we nggardly pay our judges
but in politics he Is apt, for some reason,
to make very small figure. The instances
of really great lawyers becoming presidents,
cabinet officers, senators and governors are
painfully few. 1t is true that our senate and
house OF representatives constantly number
among their membership more lawyers than
men from any other profession or business,
but how many of them come from the front
rank of the bar? Many good lawyers have
been president but only one president has
been a lawyer Of the first rate-Benjamin
Harrison. A seat in the senate is OCCASION
ally filled by a lawyer like Edmunds, but
that body has become almost beyond the
reach of lawyers good or bad who have not
made a million or more. Our cabinet Of
tcials and national and state attorney gem
erals, although generally able men, are
genius for the law-men who have inn
pressed the country with their success at
the bar.
And when we descend to the state legis-
latures the company is really so bad and
the annual grist of legislation so atrocious
that even a reputable lawyer is generally
satisfied to be on the outside of our state
capitols Is all this so because the hest
American lawyers have no taste for poll
tics and statecraft or because the people,
OF rather the politicians. have no liking
for the great and successful LAWYER? As a
class, lawyers are VIGOROUSLY addicted to
politics, and, II not now, at least formerly,
were accorded nearly a monopoly of po-
litical honoTs, but the fact remains that
the prizes seldom fall to, or to put 1t in
another way, are seldom plucked by the
lawyer who is entitled TO be called great
While, perhaps, OF little importance-for
the worlds greatest statesmen never have
been lawyers-this feature of our profes-
sional and national life presents a theme
for some reflection.

derment and Ignorance.
Mr.. Pouteney Bigelow disclosed his sor-
rows and mystihcations through the me-
dium OF a speech before the members

ances were hailed by the Englshmen pres
ent as a noble exhibition OF courageous

that Senator wolcott and Lieutenant Com
mander Colwell, who were present, did not
feel themselves called upon to check the
flow of Bigelow's tears. We are quite sure
that IL MIR. Henry White. first secretary OF
our embassy at London, had been there he
would have spoken up with emphasis and in
formation. He is so well acquainted with
the feelings and the sentiments OF the
American people--by virtue OF a per-
manent residence abroad-that he could
easily have explained everything. But We

| WHAT HURTS TIE CATTLE RAlSERS.
That America can produce meat
enough TO feed all the world is admitted
abroad as well as at home. The cattle
and mcat-packing industry which has
already assumed n magnitude in this
country beyond the conception of its
most sanguine promoters would today
control the markets Of the world were it
not for the embargo placed against the
importation of American meat products
into European countries.
That American competition should
have encountered persistent opposition
from the farmers of England, France
and Germany is quite natural. That
opposition had, however, been steadily
weakening and would have subsidized
but for the vicious warfare recently
waged on this side of the water upon
the American packing industry for par
tisan ends This fact has been specially
emphasized in Germany, where the
agrarians have utilized to the utmost
the weapons placed in their hands by
sensational American newspapers of
the yellow journal order, supplanted by
impudent imposters craving after noto-
riety.
Robert L. Porter, who has Just re-
turned from Europe after four months
investigation of commercial conditions
as special commissioner for the United
States government describes the feeling
in Germany in the following language:
The German government Is not unfriendly
to American interests and desires to treat
us with absolute justice, If not with consid-
Grafton. The various meat Investigations
and the political capital which has been
made out of them by American newspapers 5
have done our interests more injury, not
only in Germany. but in all the six Euro
pean countries, England, Germany, France,
Italy, Belgium and Holland, which have
visited, than all foreign influences put to-
gether Whatever may come, therefore, we
have no one but ourselves to blame.
Unless efforts are made to dlsabuse the
European mind of some of these libelous
charges against American meat, as a whole,
the loss of this trade will range from $20,-
900, 900 to $25000,0 900 per annum. 1t must
be borne in mind that only the widest and
most exaggerated statements find their way
into the foreign prints. The effect will be
to shun our products, and that is just what
the agrarian press of the entire continent
wants These foreign officials in Germany
and elsewhere, therefore, who are willing to
accord us justice have difficult and thank
less task.
This only goes to show that it is much
easier to destroy than to build up any
enterprise or industry. While the self
styled champions of the producers never
lose an opportunity to berate American
against the administrator, they are in
fiicting incalculable injury upon the cat
tie raisers of the west and south who
are contributing so much to the indus
trial supremacy of this country.
