TIE REAL ISSUE.

1t IS becoming more and more ap-
parent every day that the education
of the children of North Carolina is
to be the paramount issue in the
campaign. However much our peo-
pie may differ on the expediencv of
granting State aid to our colleges, we
are all agreed on the necessity of
greatly charging State aid to the
common schools. Tt is a vital matter.
and as the results of the constitution
al amendment, in case it is ratified,
are closely considered, this matter of
teaching our children to read and
write becomes tremendously impor-
tant. Children now thirteen years
of age must, when they come of age,
be able to read the ballots in their
hands or they cannot cast them
that is all. Tt is both folly and COW
ardice to pretend that this section
will not be in force as to white peo-
pie. Tt will apply to all, and it ought
SO to apply. The boy who is smart
enough to qualify himself for the
franchise, whether he is white or
black, ought to exercise it, while the
dullard who is too lazy or shiftless
to master his mother tongue has no
business with a ballot. For our part
we believe the white children of
North Carolina are the equals of the
negroes. We are not afraid to enter
into an intellectual contest with the
blacks, and any white man who OBJ
jects to this provision because he
fears the negroes will beat us in the
race, has surely very little confidence
in his own color. We are rot MAX
ing an argument in favor of the
amendment-with those things we
have nothing to do. We are simply
calling attention to that feature of
the measure that emphasizes, and in
fact makes vitality important the edu-
cation of our children. And we
may add, that man is at poor bust
ness who attempts to inject into the
campaign, on either of the three
sides, the question of State aid to
colleges. Nobody need go into hys-
terics about our colleges. They will
be taken care of, never fear.-Char-
ity and Children.

THE OLKO FRAUD.


The circuit bill, by a vote of 10 to
z was favorably reported by the
House Committee on Agriculture
last week. The first section of this
bill provides that cleo and all ooun-
terfeit buffers shipped from one
State into another shall be subject to
the laws of the State into which they
are shipped. The second section
reads as follows: 'sThat after the
passage of this act the tax upon
oleomargaripe as p~recribed in section
8 of the act approved August 2, 1885,
and entitled An act defining butter,
also imposing a tax upon and regu-
lating the manufacture, sale, impor-
tation, and expectation of oleomar-
garine,' shall be one-fourth of one
per cent. per pound when the same
is not colored in imitation of butter ;
but when colored in imitation of
butter, the tax to be paid by the
manufacturer shall be 10 cents per
pound to be levied and collected in
accordance with the provisions of
said act" The friends of the bill ex-
pect to urge the matter to speedy
consideration before the House, in
hope of securing action in one or
both branches of Congress at this
session. The passage of the bill
would greatly benefit the dairy in
dustry and might bring about a re
vival of dairy interests even in
North Carolina.

HELPING THE CENsUs-TAKER.

Many thousands of men officially
known as enumerators are now tax
ing the twelfth census Of the United
States. During this month they
are expected to visit every home.
They will ask many questions.
Not one of these questions is I'M
necessary, and rightly regarded, none
is impertinent. Every accurate an
swer will help to carry out the pur-
pose of the census, which is to deter
mine and record the social condition
and industrial standing Of the peo-
pie of this country. Truth-telling
cannot possibly have embarrassing
results. The information given the
enumerator will not be used as a ba-
sis of taxation nor communicated to
any assessor and if the enumera-
tor make any facts you give him
public he will be liable to d heavy
penalty.
The enumerators will undoubtedly
try to do their work discreetIy and
well, for they are reputable citizens,
carefully chosen. The government
gives them all the aid it can, in the
form of instructions so comprehen-
sive that they fill a pamphlet of sixty
four pages. But the success Of the
census really depends upon the intel
igent cooperation of the people.
We trust that readers of The
Youths Companion will receive the
enumeration courteously, answer his
questions frankly, aud in no way
hamper or delay him. He is the
agent of a great governmental enter
prise which should interestand must
benefit every citizen of the United
States.-Ex.

ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA.
Some Important Facts Cleaned From The Re-
port of The Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Some Important Facts Cleaned From The Re-
port of The Bureau Of Labor Statistics.
The thirteenth annual report of
the Bureau of Labor and Printing
was issued today. 1t covers last
year. 1t says 25 cotton mills are in
course of construction. Great salts
faction is expressed at the immense
decrease of child labor in factories.
The report shows there are 1913 news
papers. The sentiment in favor of
compulsory education has grown,
Commissioner Lacy says, and is now
a live issue in North Carolina. Out
of 800 farmers, who were asked if
they favored it, all save IS said yes,
and out of 331 persons engaged in
factories, all save Il said yes. The
report says the fact that North Caro-
lima has more ~illiterate whites than
any other State than New Mexico is
sufficient argument to guarantee d
compulsory school law. Average
farm wages per month: Men 1891;
women S5.27; children S3.58. The
cost of production of crops is as fol
lows: A 5OO-pound bale of cotton
S24. 56 a bushel of wheat 81 cents
corn Al oats %; 100 pounds of to-
bacco 1851. The number of tobacco
factories has largely decreased dur
ing the past few years. Over half
the blanks sent out were returned
with the report that the factory had
shut down or gone out of business.
j. H. Platt, of the State Geological
Survey, who prepared a chapter on
the mining industry of North Caro-
lima, says the past year is one of con-
siderable activity, mainly in the cop
PEI, and iron districts. The sales of
mines known to be of little value to
persons outside of the State have in
past years greatly injured mining
business here. E. w. Myers, of the
Geological Survey, furnishes a very
valuable chapter on water powers.
There are 10, 987 railroad employees in
the State. The report on fisheries
show that. they equal in Importance
and in money value those of all the
other South Atlantic States COM
hined.-Col. Olds' Correspondence.

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMERS STATE
PLATFORM.

The time is almost at hand for
nominating candidates for the legis-
lature. Work for the very best man
in your party-not the slickest
schemer, not the greatest amendment
talker, but an honest, intelligent,
conservative man-a man that, first
of all, will do all in power for the pub
lie schools of the State (for this is
the greatest question confronting
us).
We believe that the next Legisla-
ture should give us, and that candi-
dates for the Legislature should be
pledged to, these reforms:
Four months public schools.
A law to prevent the removal of
cases by corporations from State to
Federal courts.
A statute making agriculture a
common school study.
A reformatory for young crimi-
mails.
A fair election law, providing for
equal representation of each faction
upon boards of election judges and
registrars.
A law making it illegal to employ
children under fifteen years of age
in any cotton mill, except where the
child so employed attends school for
at least three months in each year.
Lower priced school books.

There ought to be as much hon
esty in politics as in religion. If a
man has religious convictions he
ought to stand by them in the regu-
lation of his life. If he has political
convictions he ought to have the
manhood to follow the dictates of
those convictions, and none ought to
intrude themselves on his c~onscien-
tious views. The voice of the peo-
pie expressed under fair conditions
should be. acceded to by those who
are defeated with as much grace as
by the victors. Anything that savors

CHANGING ONES PARTY.

It is sometimes cast as a reproach
against a public man that he has
abandoned his party and joined him
self to the organization which once
he opposed most earnestly. The re-
proach may be just, as when a ma
shifts to the opposite party in eonse-
quence of a personal grievance, or
for any other petty reason.
In most cases, because most public
men are guided by principle and
conviction, a change of party by
prominent politicians and by indi-
vidual voters alike is honorable and
praiseworthy. New issues are con
stantly coming before the people.
When any question becomes import
ant, it is proper for every man who
disagrees with his own party to join
himself to the other party if it rep
resents his opinions, and if he be-
heves it will carry those opinions
into effect.
1t is natural and excusable that
any man who thinks that his party
takesa wrong position on these issues
should change his political associa-
tions. The man who takes his con
science rather than habit for his
guide in public affairs is to be praised,
not blamed.-Ex.
