THE Democracy is SO devoted to free
trade that the small temporary duty i'm
posed on imports from Porto Rico is de-
nounced as a national disgrace. Were
that party to gain control of the govern
ment, it would attempt to establish free
trade between the United States and
Europe, SO that everything we bought
with the cheap money it promises us
would abe made in Germany, England
or any other old place" rather than in
the United States.

THE settlement of the trust gues,
ton is not a political one, but it calls for
the concerted action and best judgment
of all legislators. Whenever a trust
tends to impair the rights and privileges
of citizens, it aims neither at Republic
ans, Democrats nor Populists, but at all
alike. Therefore the representatives OF
all the people should join hands for the
protection of all.

ucatfon is that the question has be-
come a live one in this state. Reports
from all sections of the black belt are
to the effect that the white people are
insisting that the coming constitution
al convention shall allow the colored
people for schools only the amount
they contribute in taxes. The effect
of this plan, il carried out, would be
to practically deprive the colored peo-
pie OF education.
Last year the state expended on it's
public schools ST. 81, 264.49. OF this
amount Over $4,000 went for h ed
ucation Of the negroes. In the last
thirty years, that is, since the organi-
cation of the present system of public
education, Virginia has expended $40,-
900. 900 of which SIS, 0O0, 900 was given
to colored schools. The negroes on
tribute 5 per cent. OF taxation, from
all sources for all purposes"
We regret to see this. As we said
above, IL the negroes are to remain in
the south they must be taught if they
are TO vote. If they are to eventually
go to the north hen hat section will
be forced to educate them if they shall
vote. The dispatch says:
There is no man in this state" said
n Of the officials Of the school system
today, that I know of, who is ready
to stand forth in his efforts to resist
this demand of the people"
We hope that North Carolina demo-
Gratis will be faithful TO their policy in
the past, and true to the promises
made in the campaign-to give the
negroes increased educational adyan-
tages-that is longer terms and a bet
ter grade of teachers. When the ne
groes all avail themselves of educa-
years we shall have in North Carolina
a negro educated electorship, all able
to read and write. That will include
all who are taught from now until 1908
or 1910. The estimate a been made
that so, 900 or 10000 negroes can vote
under the amendment when it goes
into effect on LIST July 1902.

The China problem still vexes the
nations. 1t is thought that the Amer
lean army will leave China. Such is
the opinion of General Chaffee as to
what it is best to do. Russia. France
and Japan will probably take the same
course. England will hold on with
Germany. Why shall two of the pow
ers remain when the work of deliver

vengeance or land grabbing? It is
wise for our troops to withdraw, unless
foreign complications are desired. It

and the republican loss II per cent. so

JOHNsrOwN AND GALVESTON.

There have been but two calamities
in this country hat equals or sur
passes hat of Galveston-the awful
fire at Chicago and the tremendous de-
struction of life and porperty at Johns
town, Pennsylvania, in May 1883. The
latter was caused by the bursting of
the Conemaugh dam, above Johnstown.
The flourishing city Of some 90 900 peo-
pie was well nigh destroyed. No less
than 5000 people persisted. But poor
Galveston Is an awful sufferer. and the
country should generally respond to
the appeals for help. 1t is said to have
been a handsome and most prosperous
city OF 10000. and had become the chief
cotton port Of the gulf.
