How's THIS REV. DEcAyED BAYLUs ?
Have You Been Talking Through Your Tile or
Just Telling a Whopper?

Recently in speech at Henderson
Rev. Baylus Cade, the Governors
private secretary, said that the Bap-
fist denomination, of which he claims
to be a member, was opposed to pub
lie education.
A week later at Hillsboro, having
been taken to task by this paper, the
Rev. Cade amended his assertion as
follows: 81 am a Baptist, a denomi-
nation, which, including the colored
members, will equal all other Chris
tian denominations as to members
in the State. 1t is fact that the
leaders of the Baptist church with the
leaders in other Christian denomina-
lions who are large property owners,
are opposed to educating the people
by taxation. They have shown this
in our university, our A. and M. Col
1eges and in our Normal and Indus
trial schools"
Now there is not a word of truth
in this as the following letter from
the secretary of the mission board of
the Baptist State convention will
show:
To the Editor: Will you permit me to
say word on the continued controversy
as to what the Baptist position in North
Carolina is on public schools.
1t is strange that any one of intelli-
gence needs enlightment on this sub
iect In forty out of fifty district asso-
Citations composed of selected represen-
tatives from the churches, the most pro-
nounced and outspoken resolutions have
been unanimously passed. calling upon
- iIn fOV, t6c' h In
school in every district. This has been
done not once, but several times during
the past seven years and in all that
time but two votes have been known in
opposition to the passage of such resolu-
tions. At every Baptist State Conven-
ton except the last, for even years, the
same kind of declaration has been made
with perfect unanimity and earnestness.
The Biblical Recorder, the organ of
North Carolina Baptists, has been lead
er in public thought for the common
schools-a champion in season and out
of local taxation for public schools, and
it's editor, by voice and pen tribune OF
the six hundred thousand children who
look to the public schools for what they
get in education.
/ do not think / claim more than JUS
tice would claim, when l say that the
Baptists of North Carolina during the
past seven years have led the public
mind and sympathy in advocacy of the
schools of the people. The bill that Sc
cured the 100000 special appropriation
originated in the Baptist Mission Rooms
in Raleigh, was drawn by Hon. c. H. Me-
bane and was placed by the writer in
the able and willing hands of two Bap-
lists in the Legislature. Stephen Nc
lntyre and J. B. Holman, who splendidly
conducted it through it's passage.
That we are equally united, and earn
est and patriotic in our defence and
championship of the voluntary principle
in higher education needs not to be
said.

cials and Il committee of citizens, who
held Il conference last night with a
view of calling out the militia to sup
press disorder in connection with the
street railway strike, were closeted
again today at police headquarters
in the Four Courts.
The feature of the meeting was the
presentation to the Governor of a
formal written request by Sheriff
Pohlan, to call out the militia. 1t
follows:
''As sheriff of the city of st. Louis,
| desire to inform you that there now
exists in this city condition of tu-
mutt. Acts of violence and disorder
are of daily occurrence. | have sum
moned to my assistance large posse
and have exhausted every means at
my command, but the civil authorities
are unable to cope with the situation.
All other means being exhausted.
respectfully call upon you and re-
quest that the National Guard of
Missouri be called out in numbers
sufficient to restore order and prevent
further acts of violence"
The Governor left soon afterward.
General Bell and General Clark said
positively that they have not yet re-
ceived a definite order.
If the military is called out, it is
likely that the entire National Guard
of the State, comprising four regi-
ments and battery, will be pressed
into service.
More cars were in operation today
than at any time since the strike be-
gan. but the service was not complete
by any means.
Sheriff Pohlman's posse of nearly
1000 men continued to guard the
property of the street car company.
Governor Stephens departed for JEFF
ferson City later in the day, thus dis
sipating the idea that he would call
out the State militia. He advised in
creasing the car service at night, and
this plan was adopted tonight. Up

The following statement is furnished

views of the French Government:
1.-THE situation is undoubtedly very Sc
rious, and unless the Chinese Government
rouses itself to thorough appreciation
of the dangers threatening its very c>;;-
cult to foresee what will be the outcome.
Our cable advices leave the condition
of affairs still somewhat obscure, but 1T
is evident that the Pekin Government
must act promptly and vigorously if it
is to stamp out this rebellion. Despite
the stories of defeats of the Chinese
troops, we still think the army sufficient
ly strong to suppress the insu,rection,
but it must act at once. In the near
time we intend to cooperate with the
other powers in taking such measures s
are necessary to safeguard our country
men and their properties. Oar minister
and admiral have been instructed to take
this course. Our interests are identical
with those of the United States, and there
is every reason to believe we shall act
in unison during the present riSis The
aim of both is to act purely in defense
of the lives and interests Of our CON-
patriots which are now in such peril
