HELPED EDUCATE THE NEGRO.

l believe Senator Vance to have been
one of the great men of America. He
had tie ability to rise to every oppor-
tunity that was offered him, and he oc
cupied with conspicuous honor the high
est positions of usefulness and of power
with which his own people could endow
him. He retained to the last a strong
hold upon the affections and upon the
confidence of his fellows, and win be
long cherished in the grateful memories
of his countrymen.
Among the rich legacies of his life
to his people l choose to mention as
conspicuous his policy of giving equal
educational opportunities to the negro
race. He saw beyond the prejudice and
the political passion of the moment, and
in the spirit Of a seer as well as a
statesman he laid broad and deep the
foundation for the future peaceful rela-
tions between the two races in North
Carolina Whatever form the education
of the colored race may take it is bound
to result sooner or later in winning
for them tolerance and sympathy,
through respect.

LIKE THE TALLEsT MOUNTAIN

Zebulon B. Vance was a combination
of merit and modesty; strength and ten
derness; passion and selfmastery. He
was both the product and the expression
of that which is peculiar to North Caro-
ina-unostentatious greatness. A mas
terful orator in the forum of public de-
bate, but more charming fire side talk
er in mountain cabin; rich in the pos
session of the rarest intellectual jewel
ry, yet unconscious as child as he cloth
ed his great thoughts in the home-spun
of common speech for the instruction of
his people.
North Carolina was his sweetheart,
and he loved her with single and guile
less devotion. He was great everywhere,
but greatest among his own. His heart
was always in the right place-in sympa-
thy with the deepest wants of the COM
mon people.
Neither pomp, place nor power could
dazzle his honest blue eyes, nor turn his
massive head. He was the true shep-
herd of his own political Israel who
thought more of the flock than of it's
fleece. He was as diligent to lead them
into the green pastures of political pros
perity. as he was dauntless to defend
them against the robbers and wolves who
strove to fatten on their simplicity and
misfortunes.
His feet never found the crooked paths
which led so many other senators from

the cloak rooms of the national Senate in
ION to the ground floor" of speculative
schemes for personal profit.
The persuasive arguments" of mas
sive millions in the hands of unscrupul-
Gus lobbyists never left the faint of sus-
picion on the vote Of Vance.
After many years at Washington, where
lust and liquor, pelf and Plutus try the
souls of men as in a furnace of fire, he
returned to die among his people poor in
purse and pure in heart.
Like his own tallest rock based and
buttressed mountains, behind which the
sun of time slowly sinks-sinks but to
cast the shadow Of his fame longer and
broader until all men shall recognize
Zebulon b. Vance, North Carolina's great
commoner in that man of granite charac-
ter and unostentatious greatness moving
with unfaltering tired across the stage
of public life of the last half of the Nine
teenth century.

GOVERNOR VANCE.

Vance had almost every requisite of
success. He was poor and honest, and he
came from the people. He was open
handed and his very vices were popular.
He was brave and cheerful, witty and
humorous. Even in AN old age, worn in
the peoples service, the people heard
no murmur Of his. There was a dignity
and reserve that hedged about this man
of the people. And so it came to pass
that all men found something in him to
love and to admire.
There was a squint about his eye and
a comic smile about his mouth, that Neill
Burgess i'm his business could have turn
ed to good account. Who could stand
before one of his jokes. His, my God!
Alternately my head is with you but my
stomach is against you will live after
it is forgotten whether CASTOR ever de-
livered an address at Chapel Hill. How
we love to repeat his sayings, when they
fit the occasion. Vance never fully ad-
justed himself to modern life; to him the
stage coach and saddle we're more congo
NAL than the Pullman and he never
quite understood whether corporation
has two tails or one.
Vance was not builder, nor an or
ganizer, nor was he man of affairs.
Had he been either he would have been
less popular. When he violated all
rules of soldering, yet demonstrated
that you CAN bring the boys from right
shoulder to an ORDER he was every inch
Vance No such teller of stories has
ever lived as he was. 1t may be doubted
whether he would have beaten Settle in
1876 but for his stories. In old age he
tried to get away from his good jokes,
and occasionally made dull literary ad-
dress in so doing, but when he got the
boys on the hotel porch he made up
for lost time. Yet joking with him was
but a means to an end. In my judgment
he will be known to fame as North Caro-
hna's great War Governor.
The good people of Danville to this
day delight to tell how he turned on
the committee of the Senate his brother
Senators investigating the Danville riot
and presuming to caution him and defied,
"the whole hell-fired crew of them!!'' He
read few books, but these were classics.
The Bible, Shakespeare, Tom Jones,
Bacon, the Bill of Rights, have assisted
in making original thinkers in all ages,
and they made this inimitable North
CarOllnlan. NO WOnueT IIltI EuIluHuS
and Cameron loved him for they had
rarely before looked upon his like, or
that the iridescent statesman from Kan
sas was his friend or that the rugged
Beck delighted to lunch with him every
day. But if he attracted strangers what
shall we say Of his North Carolinian
friends. These were everywhere and
everyhow. For all men somehow knew
that he stood for the best in our life. The
same sun and air and soil that placed
the hemlock on North Carolina noun
tains, the sturdy oak and useful pine at
her foot hills, and the cypress and juni-
per by her sounding sea, grew Vance
the inimitable-the North Carolinian

CONFEDERATE SUPPLIES.
Vance's Account of What North Cal DINA
Furnished,

"By the general industry and thrift
of our people and by the use of a num-
Der of blockade running steamers, car
rying out cotton and bringing in sup
plies from Europe, | had collected and
distributed from time to time, as near
as can be gathered from the records of
the Quarter Masters Department, the
following stores: Large quantities of
machinery supplies, 60, 600 pairs of hand
cards, 200 grain scythes, 200 barrels of
bluestone for the wheat growers, leath-
er and shoes for 100000 pairs. $4,000
blankets, gray wooden cloth for at least
250,000 suits of uniforms, $4,000 over
coats (ready made), 1000 best Enfield
rifles with 100 rounds of fixed ammuni-
tion), 100000 pounds of bacon, 500 sacks
of coffee for hospital use, $4,000 worth
of medicines at gold prices, large guam
titles of lubricating oils, besides minor
supplies of various kinds for the charit-
able institutions of the State. Not only
was the supply of shoes, blankets and
clothing more than sufficient for the sup
ply of the North Carolina troops, but
large quantities were turned over to the
Confederate government for the troops of
other States. In the winter succeeding
the Battle of Chicamauga, l sent to
General Longstreet's corps $4,000 suits
of clothing complete. At the surrender
of General Johnston the State had on
hand, ready made and in cloth, $4,000
suits of uniforms, with great stores of
blankets, leather, etc. To make good
the warrants on which these purchases
had been made abroad, the State pur-
chased and had on hand in trust for the
holders II, 900 bales of cotton and 1OO,-
900 barrels of rosin. The cotton was
partly destroyed before the war closed;
the remainder, amounting to several
thousand bales was captured after peace
was declared, by certain officers of the
Federal army."-From an address by
Vance in Baltimore, February %, 1885.

THE MARKED MAN OFAREMARK.
ABLE CENTURY.

In my opinion Vance is one of the
marked men of the most remarkable
century of all time, in which he lived
and died. Presenting that your scope of
inquiry extends only to that sphere of
active duty in which he is chiefly known
and considered comment and COMPARE
son will be restricted accordingly. This
is restricted to the field of active poll
tics, embracing party, parliamentary and
executive leadership. From the rostrum
or to use the more expressive phrase,
the stump" he was "facile princeps" of
them all, and many there were who
deemed for long that that was the ex-
IRENE limit of his oratorical powers, pre-
dieting failure assured upon his entry
into the Senatorial arena. The out
come showed them wofully mistaken in
representation. He was at home from
the start in that august body of potent,
grave and reverned seigniors." True it
was an easier thing to do than it would
have been ten or twenty years anterior
thereto; more difficult. however, than it
has been from that time to this, when it's
portals are of late thrown wide open to
mountebanks and buffoons and three
"card monte men," as we have in these
degenerate days learned to our cost.
God be praised that the day has passed
when the decent white folks of North
Carolina need be longer subjected to this,
the browning ignominy of all the centur-
les. Until of late we were reputed to be the

best represented of all the States in
that high deliberative body. Has that
status been improved upon by disgust
ing coalition of charlatans, negroes, and
knaves? Look on that picture and then
on this! Travesty of travestes! But
to return Whilst it would be the sheer
est fulsome fattery to catalogue this SUI
perb man in the list of the very great
est parliamentarians of the two very
greatest parliamentary people of his
century, including Fox, Pitt, Burke, Peele
and Gladstone on the one side of the wa
ter, and Jefferson, Madison, Calhoun,
Webster, Clay and Davis on the other,
it is nevertheless no derogation from
the lustre of his fame, to inscribe his
name high on the scroll of immortals of
the plane just below.
But great as he was in legislative
halls, his grandeur did shine forth ten
fold resplendent in the Executive office
as the great War Governor in the might
lest and most momentous of all strug
giles. "The War between the States" 1t
was there that he proved himself the
right man in the fitting place. Respon-
sibilty he met, and duty he discharged.

honeyed phrase. Therein lies his chief

INSCRIPTION FOR MONUMENT.

NY estimate Of Vance is that he was
the greatest "all-round" statesman that
North Carolina has produced, and that
he fully deserved the high honor and ad-
miration which he received to greater
extent than any other man in this state.
| deem his most conspicuous service
to the State was rendered while he was
our "War Governor" before hethad at
tanned the full maturity of his manhood.
In a private letter written by him,
during the dark days of 1854, to ex-Gov-
ernor Swain CHS old preceptor and friend
whom Ne regarded almost as a father)
occurred a sentence that should be en-
graved ON his monument as proof OF his
sincere love for the people of North Car
DINA. That sentence is in these words:
GAS God liveth. there is nothing which
| would not do or dare for the peo-
Pile who SO far beyond my deserts nave
honored me-"
