Especial to News and Observer


Henderson, N. c., March 27.-Prof. ]. T..
Alderman is the right man in the right
place. He is deeply interested in his
work and our graded school continues to
grow in favor with the people" The boys
of the higher grades have organized for
practice in debate and defamation. At
the last debate the question was: RE
solved, that the British are right in sub
DUNG the Beers" The boys showed that
they had read and studied the question
with a great deal of interest. The
speeches were good. The question was
decided in the affirmative. The boys are
now preparing for a debate upon the
Philippine possessions. The girls of the
same grades are organized for similar
work, under the leadership of Misses
Tucker and Aston.
The pupils are interested in securing
a school library. A small beginning has
been made, which we hope will grow into
large and valuable collection or
books. Any contributions, either in books
or money, would be greatly appreciated.

The Republican State Convention
which met at Bangor yesterday was, so
far as candidate was concerned, little
more than a ratification meeting. Mr..
John f. Hill was long ago practically
nominated, the convention simply at
tending to the necessary formalities to
get his name on the ticket. In present.
ing Mr.. Hills name the Hon. Herbert
NJ. Heath of Augusta paid him tribute
which was glowing, but not too
glowing. Mr.. Hill Is gentle-
man whose name at the head of their
ticket the Republicans can point to with
pride. He Is a successful business man,
he Is thoroughly acquainted with the
needs of the State, and he has all the
qualities to make him not only an efficient,
but popular governor. On every occa-
sion he can be trusted to represent the
State in way which will reflect credit
upon It.
The platform endorses, of course. the
Republican national platform and the adj
ministration of President Mckinley. In
State affairs 1t is is generally outspoken
and explicit. 1t favors an economical adj
ministration OF the state government. a
readjustment of the system of taxation,
the creation of the office of State Auditor,
free popular education, the development
Of Maine's resources, and fidelity to the
cause of temperance. IL also commends
the movement for the improvement OF
Maine roads, though 1t suggests no
legislation to that end, and II condemns
the making OF appropriations to extend
beyond the life Of the legislature making
them. The only resolution that seems to
us to be open to just criticism is the one
relating TO temperance. 1t was not nee
essary to declare that the party favors
fidelity to temperance, everybody OF
respectability favors that. II the con-
vention was not disposed to say more than
this it had better said nothing.

General Grosvenor renews his charge
that q resolution which had been agreed
upon relating to the policy OF the Repub-
licans regarding our new territory was
''drivelledr out of the platform by Mr..
Quigg, and offers some evidence in sup
port of It. We suppose MIR. Quigg will
make a reply and the controversy will go
on until the two disputants get tired of
1t. What we would like to know is
where the reason or sense comes in in
starting this controversy. There can be
no doubt that the committee on resolu-
tlons prepared and assented to the reso-
lutions which were submitted to the con-
vention, In the precise form in which
they were submitted, apd 1t is equally
cert lin that the convention endorsed
them without dissent 1g vote. If the
committee modified any draft Of one or
a dozen resolutions that were put in their
hands it was an act that was clearly
within their right. If Grosvenor or any
body else did not like the resolutions
when presented to the convention, then
was the time to say so and have them
changed. Now that they have been
adopted, nobody has the right to change
them, and this whole controversy is a
waste of words 50 far as altering the plat
form is concerned. The resolutions adopt
ty expression of its principles and poll
cies during this campaign whether
Grosvenor likes them or not.
