IN BOOTS.

One of the cheerful signs we gladly
behold is a reaction against the wild
cry of compulsory education" Con-
servatism and a proper regard for the
rights of the people and the ~sacredness
of the home are not clean gone forever.
In North Carolina there is still remain
ing some people who oppose this new
northern craze. In other states the
opposition is possibly stronger, more
pronounced than in our own state.
We rejoice to see newspapers OF char
acter ard ability standing out boldly
against this new northern invasion of
ideas and notions. The opponents are
in the minority, but that is not strange.
In all ages the oppossers of lads and
isms have ordinarily been the few.
The able Pensacola News puts it ad-
mirably in the short article We copy.
1t hits from the shoulder and says:
Several of our state exchanges have
taken up the cry for compulsory edu-
cation law-meaning that every child
of school age shall be compelled to at
tend the public school. without refer
ence to the circumstances and environ
ment surrounding the child or his par
ents or guardians. Strange to say, no
arguments sustaining this erratic de-
mand nave appeared. nor is the origin
or motive of the demand known. Laws
of this character, ~abridging individual
rights n purposes. have ever been re-
pugnant to the spirit of our funda-
mental institutions, and unpopular
among a free people enjoying the priv
ileges of seh-government: n where
yer attempts have been made to
strictly enforce the few that have been
eXperimentally enacted. the results
have been either futile or disastrous"
We are gratifed to find that some
papers in North Carolina still oppose
that detestable principle of invasion
and absorption known as pa~ternalism.
The Messenger has always fought class
legislation. 1t will favor no law that is
aimed at the poorer class and makes it
the object of it's censure and it's dis
elimination. History shows that ag-
gression is progressive. Once adopt a
new principle that strikes at the rights
of the people and soon other demands
are made and curtd.iments entered
upon.
The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1900-12-28

ate as adopted. 1t is pleased to say,
and it probably does no violence to the
intention of this country under exegen-
cies:
THE Davis amendment gives us the
right. in somewhat vague terms, TO pro-
tect the proposed canal in time OF emer-
gency, but it has beer 80 inserted as to
leave intact the prohibition against
Qualifications" and IL, therefore, be-
queaths to US a d~etestable and irritating
problem. There can be no doubt that,
confronted by an imminent and sudden
crisis, the United States will construe
the clause TO suit itself-in fact. We re-
gard this evasive and indefinite utter
ance as more provocative of war in the
future thar would have been the adop-
tion of a clear. straightforward, and
unmistakable declaration Of our pur-
pose to control the canal in our own
way. without reference to the interests
or wishes of any foreign power
A country that deliberately and with
malice prepense'' repudiates and alb
rogates a solemn treaty with another
country is not too honorable or just to
fail to construe a new arrangement
to suit itself under new combinations
and fresh occasions.

an American Kauk Needed in the
nrfanf

Mr.. w. +. ManniX, of Toxic, Japan.
has written to The Washington Star an
interesting letter on the subject of
banking in the Orient. in which he
points out what a splendid opportunity
there is in the Far East for the estab-
lishment Of an American banking
house. He declares that the banker
of h United States are neglecting a
splendid chance in this respect, and that
this is the opinion of the best bust
ness men and merchants in Japan of
all nationalities. THAT an American
clearinghouse" says he. which was
not long ago established in the Orient,
has been thewonder of Asiatic traders.
and that at present. when American
interests are of such paramount i'm
p%ortance in Asia, no attempt has been
made to establish an American fnan-
cial institution here is most surprising
to those who know the situation and
who realize the monetary possibilities
of the future"

THE APPROACHING LEGISLATURE

The papers have said much as to
what should be done or avoided by the
approaching legislature. The prospect
is that it will expend more money thar
any democratic legislature ever at
tempted. The Messenger favors safe
liberality and opposes any imitation of
the e~xtravagant republican congress.
1t will be very easy to overdo, and thus
to call forth loud protests. and a posi-
bic ~unfavorable reaction against the
democratic party now in charge of the
state. But few men are wise and
bles with the grace and moderation
when l~egislating as to expenditures
and it is other peoples money that is
to be dispensed.
Many good suggestions have been
made as to legislation that do not in
volve extravaganza in appropriations.
We note that the Washington Gazette
Messenger favors an amendment in re-
gard to the testimony of women in del
icate matters concerning their person
n sufferings. A case has occurred
lIdl pOlilS IL oil diO dQOllS d
tale" but we do not give it. 1t is an in
famous case if true. A woman was
forced in a crowded court to detail cir
cumstances of a shocking kind in order
to vindicate her honor. Our Washing
ton contemporary says:
we contend just as long as the wo-
man who is the unfortunate victim in
trials of his character are compelled
to testify before h gaping multitude
lynching will continue. 1t is g
| shame that unfortunate females should
be compelled to suffer as they do in or.
der to bring such Characters to justice
and the legislature ought to come tt
their relief"
Another question urged upon the at
tention of the legislators is the per
fecting of the system of listing proper
ty. So many abuses occur and tn,
present mode is regarded as so very de
fective that some positive change il
much needed. The state treasurer will
ask the legislature to attend to this i'm,
portant matter, and try to remedy tn,
present manifest defects. He thinks

1t IS not probable that the south
will suffer by a reduction of represen-
tation in the house Of representatives.
The Hopkins bill has been favorably
reported by the census committee. The
plan is to retain the old numbers-357-
but o an enlarged basis of repre-
sentation-20S, S6S population to the dis
trict. By the ley arrangement some
states gain a member and others would
lose a member. Texas would gain two
and Pennsylvania and others would
remain unchanged. New York. New
Jersey. Louisiana. Illinois, Minnesota
and West Virginia would each gain one
member. and Texas would gain two.
Ohio. Kansas, Indiana. Kentucky
Maine. Nebraska. South Carolina and
Virginia would each lose one member
North Carolina neither gains o loses
but retains its present number. nine

THE TREATY PASSED ENG LISH
OPINION

The Hay-Pauncefote treaty passed
the United States senate by a vote of
55 to Is. 1t was much amended and
then adopted in a hurrah. 1t super
sedes the Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1854.
All appointments were defeated except
those sanctioned by the committee on
foreign relations. The treaty will be
next submitted to England, and the
idea is widely prevalent in that county
that England will not yield and tina
the treaty will be rejected. So hold the
LonGon press. The London Daily News
no doubt represents public sentiment as
well as the views Of the Tory govern
ment. 1t says:
"rhe senate has struck a serious
blow at the fundamental principles of
good faith among nations, at it's own
reputation, n at the very constitu-
ton of h great republic.
The London Daily Telegraph is mod
crate and says:
Our existing treaty rights cannot be
superseded in the SUMMARY manner
some senators seem to imagine; but
nobody in England desires to thwarr
the legitimate wishes of the American
people by a too rigorous insistence on
our claims and privileges. The mere
fact hat a ratification of the amend
ed treaty is keenly desired in America
