EDUCATION.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE II knock for
adqittance, and will take for my
subject, Education. The first thing
to- consider, is the necessity of it,
Education is one of the most import
ant things, Of life, therefore every
one should know its advantages, To
make start in life, to. be. a pleasure
to one 's>self and those. around him,
to feel free to speak to whom, he
chooses, one. must be educated.
What is a person without these con.
fdences? He is forever making mis-
takes which cause him to be miser-
able. -
The next step is how to obtain an.
education?, The one who does this,
must start at an early period work
ing physically as well as mentally,
and ever be submissive to the least,
correction offered, ever being polite,
to- his Instructor, and those with
whom he may come in contact.
Continually practicing the above and
working diligently and cheerfulIy,

minSs' Letter Into the Record.
The House received the conference report
on the s. 600. coo Porto Rican Appropria-
tion bill near the close OF the session yes
terday, and an agreement was made to vote
upon the question OF its adoption today.
after an hours debate a number of mis-
cellaneOus bills we're passed under unani-
nous consent. and 1.-the rest Of the day was
devoted to the consideration of private

ably acted on and twelve passed before ad-
jOurnment. o.
One hundred aud fose y-two bills were

Taibert OF South Carolina endeavored to
get into the Reccad" a letter written by
Representative Cummings of New York
about the proceedings al the session Of a
week ago last nigfu In which he referred
to Mr.. Talbert as a schO0lteacher. Mr.
Talbert had made a previous unsuccessful
attempt 10 secure ito insertion, and he
spoke OF IL now as newspaper article
written by a Federal soldier who had re.
ceived a medal for gailsnry on the field
but that did not move Mr. Payne of New
York who objected 10 the reading OF. tha
article by the Clerk. Nj Talbert thought
the objection CaptlOus and gave notice that
If he were denied The privilege asked he
would require the presence Gf a quorum to
PASS the bills reported by the committee.
This did not move Mr.. Payne who said
Il DO not propose TO be bulldozed into
doing something I think ought not to be
done and Mr.. Grosyenor described the
HuNH
from South Carolina could not burden the
Record with lot of trash he would block
ade public business"
The committee rose. and when the vote
was taken on the passage Of the first bill,
Mr.. Talbert made good his threat aud de-
manded the presence Of a quorum. 1t re
quired an hour and a half to secure this.
Then twelve Of the bills were passed. and
the previous question ordered on the re-
mainder.
The conference report on the s., 900 600

THE ARMoR PLATE CLAUSE.
4 snag in the Naval Appropriation
BILL

4 Snng in the Naval Appropriation
Bill.
A meeting of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs was held yesterday, which
resolved itself into a conference for the
purpose of adjustin the differences In
the committee over the Naval ApprOpria-
tion bill. The items of the bill were
passed upon by the committee last week,
but there has been so much discomfort
over the armor plate provision that an
effort was made yesterday to harmonize tie
differences in order to prevent Representa-
tive Wheeler from leading a fight on the
floor against the bill.
At the meeting of the committee it de-
veloped that those members who had for
merely insisted on giving the Secretary Of
the Navy authority to purchase armor for
the ships being constructed, those au-
thorzed last year and those to be author
lied in this bill, were prepared to recede
from their position and to agree that this
authority should extend only to the pur-
chase Of that quantity Of armor which is
necessary for the ships already completed.
The question arose on the price to be paid
for that armor and it was substantially
agreed that he should be authorized to
pay as much as S545 per ton for it. Rep
resentative Wheeler then insisted that
some provision should be made for an
armor plant in case the Government should
be compelled to pay as much as S545 per
ton for this armor. Representative Foss,
Acting Chairman, proposed that pro-
vision to the effect that should the Sec
retary of the Navy be compelled to pay
for the armor for these three ships, the
purchase of which was authorized in the
bill. what he considered to be an excessive
price. he was then. without further action
by Congress, authorized to purchase a site
and commence the erection OF an armOr
plant not to cost more than $4,000O00,
and 81. 600 COO was made available for that
purpose.
Representative Rixey proposed to sup
plement Mr. Foss' arrangement by stipu
lating that if the Secretary had to pay
more than $445 per ton for the armor he
should then. in his discretion. arrange for
the erection of an armor plant This met
with considerable opposition on the ground
that such Limitation would virtually de-
clare that Congress considered s445 per
ton a reasonable price and the Secretary
might believe that il he secured IL below
that figure he was prevented from con-
structing the plant. while if he had 10 pay
more he might think he was compelled to
build it, Thus he would not be at liberty
TO exercise any discretion whatever in
regard to this matter. MIR Rixey's amend
ment was not accepted. II is understood
Mr.. Wheeler win accept the proposition
made by Mr. FOES and the committee will
report a provision to that effect.

A Word of Counsel.
charlotte Observer.l

II had better be said now than after
ii is too late: There is reason for be-
Iieving that the political situation in
North Carolina is ominious-matters are
getting near the danger line. The Win
ston registrar incident is significant.
Even more so the assault upon the chair
man of the Democratic executive commit
tee of Pitt county; that upon a Demo-
cratic registrar in Cumberland; the at
tempt to kill a registrar in Montgomery
and other like occurrences which have
been noted within the past week. Mean
time Butler and others of that kidney
are going over the State making inflam-
matory speeches, and H. F. Seawell, the
Populist candidate for Attorney General
was moved on when he appeared at Lau-
rinburg some days ago to make a speech,
the reason being that in recent speech
at Pittsboro he had characterized as "a
cowardly murder" the killing OF IAN in
offensive negro at Laurinburg in 1898
whereas the negro was a fugitive from
South Carolina justice and had made him
self as obnoxious in Laurinburg as he
knew how to be. The people of Laurin
burg would scarcely have denied this
man Seawell liberty of speech within
their borders without good reason, and
we readily accept the statement of The
Laurinburg Exchange that this was done
for reasons having reference to ga
proper regard for the public good"
1t is not intended by what is here said
TO threaten anybody; the people Of North
Carolina are a tolerant folk; but when
it is sought to bully them, or when one
goes about among them arousing the
worst passions of the ignorant and vi
cious, they are apt to call a halt. and
when they do so they call it peremptorily.
No this is not a threat but a word of
friendly advice which needs to be read,
marked and inwardly dgested.
