A GIFT FOR THE YEAR.
The SIco, 900 Appropriation to Public
Schools.

The State superintendent of public
instruction has completed the appor-
ticnment Of the 800, 900 legislative spe-
cial appropriation for the public
schools among the different counties.
Each school child is given 1914
cents, and the apportionment is based
on the school census. 1t is estimated
that the 100000 appropriation will
o1ly run the schools a week.
Warrants for the payment Of the
fund are being made out, and were
sent to the school officers Of the vari-
GUS counties Monday. Treasurer Worth
says he will not be able to honor the
warrants until he collects more money.
1t viii probably be several weeks be-
fore the warrants are ho1ored.
Wake county gets a larger lump Of
the money than any other Mecklen-
burg follows, and Currituck will re-
ceive the smallest. Wake has a school
population CT 1891. and will there
fore receive s2,S03.10. Mecklenburg
has school population of 1903, and
| theNcounty's appor,i0nment IS s2,754.60
Currituck has only 1856 children Of
school age, and the county will only
, receive S206.
In addition to the 100000 appropri-
alton, North Carolina gives $1,000, 600
annually to her public schools.

Last week there was a joint discus
sion between MIR. ID. NJ. Luther, o.
Asheville and Mr.. r. D. Gilmer OF
Waynesville, beth Democrats on the
Constitutional Amendment Mr.. Lu-

lowing report Of the speaking from the
| columns OF the Daily Asheville Ga
zette:
The Democrats, Of the Simmons Ma
chine type, fearing the effect Of the ar
gument5 that they expected Mr.. Lu-
the- would make, had Hon R. D. Gill
mer make arrangements with Mr.. Lu-
ther for division of time. This was
granted. About 1870 o'clock Mr.. Gilmer
opened the discussion with a speech in
thorough keeping with Mr.. Simmons
and his broken campaign pledges, say
ing that no white man would be de-
|
said Mr.. Luther was in bad company,
and recited the fact that he walked
out CT a Democratic club in Asheville
two years ago because two or three
negroes belonged to it. The measure,
Mr.. Gilmer stated, was not designed to
disfranchise any class Or race in par
ticular but was intended to lift the
standard OF education. The Republican
party had been guilty of formulating
mere unconstitutional laws than any
party On earth. He denied that this
| discussion was a row among Demo
Gratis, as Major Moody had stated in
opening the meeting, as Mr.. Luther
represented the Republicans. Il tho
amendment would disfranchise one
single white man he would oppose It
Mr.. Gilmer was several times applaud
ID.
Mr.. Luther then took the platform
he opened by saying that he recogniz-
| ID in the audience many young and Ole
men whom he claimed as his friends
He spoke, not to Democrats, Republl'
cans Of Populists, but to citizens o
North Carolina He acknowledged Mr.
Gilmer's charge that he quit Dem
ocratic club because negroes belonged
to it, and was glad he did this. He was
fer white supremacy then and is for i
new. He had never scratched Demo
erat in his life, and is going to vote
for the nominees Of the party mex
August. II Mr.. Gilmer is nominated fo1
attorney general he will vote for him
But if this measure is Adopted de-
clared Mr. Luther. 'one-third of the
white men of Western North Caroline
will be disfrarchised." When Mr.
Settle came out for the measure, hi
! was considered by these Democratic
leaders as a gentleman, a Christian
and a scholar.

PLATES AMENDMENTS.

Senator Platt'5 proposed amendments
to the Cul.om bill embody one super
auity and one injus ice.
The superhuiJy is that amendment
which continues the existing customs
between the United STATES and Hawaii
until further legislation by Congress.
Senator P.att ought to know that this
matter was covered by the Newlands
resolutions which achieved precisely
wha, he now proposes to seek.
The injustice is in the amendment
striking out the provision for the &C.
lion of delegate 20 Congress. Hawaii
offered itself to the Union in full con-
fidence that it would have representa-
tive government. In sharing the
responsibilities of the nation, as it is
already doing in some measure, it
properly asks for a voice in fixing those
responsibilities. The United States has
stopped Chinese immigration here and
the sale of our public lands, while bills
are pending to extend other forms Of
Federal Jurisdiction. The Cullom bill
Itself puts the United States officially
in full possession. Would Senator
Plat in view of all this deny Hawaii
the right to say a word in it's own be-
hall at Washington when it's inter
ests may be imperilled? If so his ideas
on the subject of taxation without rep
resentation differ widely from those OF
the founders of the republic.
We cannot believe that the Plat
amendments will be accepted. They
are purely mischievous and are salts
factory to nobody except the anti-ex-
pansion fanatics and the sugar trust.

ON THE 1UGELA.

The capture of Spion Kop by General
but not important. Spion Kop, high
point in rocky plateau eight miles
eastward of the Boer positions on the
Tugela, is little more than an outpost.
That the Beers did not value it highly
is shown by the small garrison they
kept there; that its capture by the
British has made no decisive change
in the general situation Is shown by
the fact that the Beers still hold their
main lines of defence, from which Bull
ier's army, after tremendous fighting,
were three times hurled.
This force of General Warren's is
the one, 1900 strong, that crossed the
Tugela several miles up before the
time of Buffers advance and undertook
to reach the Transvaal army in flank.
1t is now in position to cooperate in
further advance movements unless it
should be surprised and annihilated by
an overwhelming force. There is more
or less peril of this and until further
adyices are had the impression that the
Beers scampered from Spion Kop for
purpose, answers as well as any
other.
There is, too, some room to suspect
| that Warren was wanted to join in the
grand assault, but did not arrive on
the field in time. If so, Buffers cam
paign will come in for some very sharp
criticism apart from that which at
taches to his failure to carry fortified
points.
From all the news that can be gath
cred, we still believe that the Beers
have made themselves impregnable in
the Tugela mountains to any force
General Butler can now bring against
them. One good marksman intrenched
is worth FIVE, ordinary marksmen out.

because of his craftsmanship. partly
because, in his shelter, he Is less ner-

may be, can feel at all sure of dislodg
