4 cAsE or MoR VIOLENCE.

If the reports contained in the daily
press of tho occurrences attending the
close of the walters excursion be sub
stantialIy true, the proposed prosecution
of the young man, Healy, who is now
held to await the result of the injuries
inflicted by him on two of his assall-
ants, has very little to uphold 1t. Had
he not defended himself he might have
been the victim of an angry and ire
sponsible mob, just as was the case with
another young man few days ago who
on his return from an excursion had 10
place himself under police protection in
order to preserve his own life.
No one will think of saying that if
this young man had been knocked down
and kicked, and had reason to believe
that his life was in danger he should
submit still further before defending
himself The circumstances do not point
to any such obligation on his part. He
was followed by an angry crowd. Threats
had been freely made against him. One
or more desperate characters were en-
gagged in the chase Of him. He had
done everything in his power to escape,
and had been finally forced in self-de-
Tense to shoot. Forbearance in such a
case ceases to be virtue. 1t is the
worst kind of coward.ce which has not
even the fiber of self-defense in it.
All the published stories of this occur
renee are in substantial agreement. If
they are correct 1t would be much more
pronotive Of the ends Of justice If the
police would get as many as possible of
those who composed the craZed mob who
chased this young man, and have them
punished for their part in a most dis
graceful scene.
1t is just and necessary that all the
facts of this Occurrences shall be sifted
to the bottom and that the fullest Grim
inal responsibility shall be made to rest
on all who are responsible. If the police

Of those who made threats against
Healy, and who followed him and chased
him through the public thoroughfares,
there will be a greater certainty that
justice will be done than there will be
If all the consequences are sought to
be visited on the man now under ar
rest.
This is the second exhibition of mob
violence which has been made in
this city within few weeks. It has
in each case evidently been the prod ct
Of over-indul gence in drink There is
certain class who when they get re-
leased from the restraints of city life
throw all sense of personal responsibility
to the dogs. These are the men who
created the trouble in this case, as they
had previously done on the occasion of
the excursion of the Swedish Brothers.
They certainly should not be allowed to
escape the consequences of their own
disregard of the violation of all require
ments Of law and order.

THE LATEST LAND FRAUDS

Additional facts are coming to light
day after day showing the vast extent.
as well as the glazing character, of the
land frauds which have prevailed in
Idaho and Montana. That man in the
high official position which Senator Clark.
Of Montana, occupies should be shown to
be the center and head of the entire
fraudulent system is sad commentary
on both public and business morals.
The federal land laws have invited Just
such frauds. They seem to have been
conceived for their easy accomplishment
While good land is taken up for miles in
a given section by bona flde settlers"
by the quarter section, as required by the
law. and this same land is found to have
been transferred at once by the "set-
tiers to some lumber syndicate or other.
and when that form of practice has been
continued for twenty years and in every
section in the West, until the public do
main fit for settlement has passed away
from the peoples control and into pri-
vate ownership, it can of course be said
that everything has been done in
strict compliance with existing law. But
what must be said of the law which adj
mits of such practices; and what of the
people who with their eyes open and with
full knowledge of the terrible extent
of the evil will allow the laws to remain
undisturbed.
We may now, Of course, lock the stable
door after the steed has vanished. And
no doubt just as soon as the possibilities
Of gain through this form of robbery Of
the public have become exhausted we
will put an end to the wholesale system
Of thievery- 1t is Just this compliance
with the letter of the law which constj-
tutes the difficulty in these later land
fraud cases. The inability to secure the
necessary evidence of the Fraudulent
character of the transactions whereby
the land came into the. hands of the syn
dcates which hold it viii probably rem

4 NArToNAE uN1EERsrrX.

"A national university has been the
dream of the foremost educators of the
United States for many years. The
genius of our political theories demands
that the state shall educate it's citizens
To the church and the family belong the
moral training of the youth, but their in
tellectual training properly belongs to
the state. This proposition is so self
evident that it hardly needs argument
The state is not interested in what men
believe regarding the future state of be-
ing. 1t is immaterial to the state wheth-
er man believes in the story of creation
as laid down in the Bible or whether he
believes in the doctrine of evolution The
state cares not whether man is Cath
Ollie, Methodist or an agnostic; all the
state is interested in is good citizenship.
AS the public pays for the education Of
the youth in the public schools and the
state universities, it was wisely ordained
that no religious teachings should be al
lowed as a part of the tuition.
Religious education and secular educs-
ton are Incompatible. The object of re-
ligious education is to preserve traditions
and foster faith. The object of secular
education is to search out truth and fos-
ter doubt. Faith has but little place in
the mental laboratory of the scientist.
He cares not to reconcile anything with
anything else If, in the search
for truth he finds his once
cherished theories overthrown, he
abandons them and strikes out anew.
The state therefore is engaged in educat-
ing men to act as pioneers to blaze the
way through unknown forests of investi-
CATION to go forth alone and leave
Tail which men can follow if they wish.
The church is engaged in rebuilding and
maintaining the ancient intellectual land

We speak of this difference, not in the
way Of criticism. but only to make clear

PROPER PRECAUTIONS.

The care exhibited by the pardoning
board in arranging the details of the
proposed parole of the Younger broth
ers shows the wisdom of entrusting an
important function of government to ~
body of men exceptionally equipped for
its discharge. Every precaution is ex-
ercised to save the unfortunate men
from themselves. as well as to save So
ciety from as many as possible of the
known consequences to it of such re-
lease.
All observant persons know the wide
extent of the disposition to look upon
admiration. The morbid state of mind
with which crime is regarded by the
ignorant is illustrated every day in the
vicinity Of our courts and jaiIs. There
is no doubt that through playing upon
this disposition. the Youngers might
very readily amass considerable sum
by exhibiting themselves in museums
and such resorts throughout the coun-
try
All the precautions taken by the par
doning board and especially the one
against the men presenting themselves
unnecessarily to the public gaze, are
well considered. 1t is true that the men
have been unusually well behaved, that
any criminal tendency which might have
presented itself as inherent In their
natures at the time of the commission
Of the crime has apparently left no
trace of its existence. and that in point
OF personal conduct they have compared
favorably with the average law-ab,ding
citizens. Yet tneir release was at best
but an exceptional exercise of clemency
on the part of the state, and must be
regarded as purely an experiment.
The general public is no doubt con-
WINGED that the Youngers will show no
disposition whatever to abuse the priv
tleges of their parole. Yet temptations
to do so which would beset them should
not be disregarded. What they might
do Of their own volition to show their
worthiness of leniency, they will do
with all the more certainty when the
failure to do it is likely to be followed
by their temperance in prison.
1t may come to pass in time that
these men will be set completely at lib
erty, to end their days without the sur
Veillance Of the state being exercised
over them. But the time has not vet
come if it ever does come When the
Houngers have remained at liberty for
some time, so that their fitness to meet
the obligations and duties of civil life
Is assured it may be desirable that thew
shall be invested with pardon. For the
present at least the sound Judgment of
the people will sustain the action of the
pardoning power, and time will no doubt
fully Justify it.

came the necessity for a higher school
under the control of the state, where the
youth of the state could pursue their in
vestigations untrammeled by creed From
Their success is ample proof of the theory
of education followed by the various man
agements The church has a right to,
and does maintain it's own schools, where
it deals out mixture of pure science
and religion to all who seek that kind OF
instruction. Latterly the state universe
ties have cut into the attendance and
influence of the strictly sectarian 1nsti-
tutions. The rivalry is healthful to both:
one broadening and the other restrain
ing.
Within the last few years another insti-
tuition has sprung up which, while afford
ing great opportunities for investigation
and culture, has neither the religious dig
nifty of the church institution nor the
BIZ, adth of the state university. We speak
Of the private institutions of learning,
exampled by the Leland Stanford and
the Chicago universities-schools endowed
by parties who had money to burn. These
universities bear the same relation to the
men who furnish the money as the relig-
ious school does to the church. A pro-
fessor, howsoever learned, honest or re-
nowned, who is suspected of heretical
teachings is, invited to step down and out.
The interests of the church demand 1t.
and we do not blame the church. The
man who is caught teaching theories in
imical to the interests of the founders
of the private universities meets the
same fate Who can blame the owner?
The institution exists by his favor. it
is his and may he not do as he likes
with his own?
So aggressive are these private insti-
tutions that an educational check is al
most essential to preserve the independ-
of education there is as much competi-
ton as there is in the realm of business.
The best talent Of the country is bought
up and in many cases muzzled. If it can
be rnuzzled What is the remedy? 1t lies
in the establishment Of a national uni
versity. A university backed by the ma
ton with a liberal endowment. This
question has been up before the National
Educational association and heartily in
dorsed, although the committee appointed
a year ago to investigate and report. re-
ported adversely, Harper. the president
of the greatest private university in the
United States, having prepared the re-
port. Such a report was to be expected
from Harper. Should there be national
university, it would stand directly in the
light of the Rockefeller institution of
which Harper is the financial agent and
intellectual bouncer The National Edu-
cationaI association evidently appreciates
the situation for 1t promptly turned Mr..
Harper down and reafirmed it's position
on the national university question.
The campaign for a national university
should be pressed with vigor, to an ulti-
mate contamination. 1t would serve to
put a check upon the arrogance of these
educational trusts which pose as free
universities.

NEGRO MURDERED IN CAswELL.
Shot Three Times and Then Covered Up With
Shocks of Wheat.

Two negroes Of desperate character,
Pink Long and Glenn Sutton, got into a
difficulty over game of cards at Union
Ridge, in Caswell county, on Friday, and
Long shot Sutton three times. so des
perately wounding him that he died soon
after.
One ball entered Sutton's left breast,
another his left arm, and another his hip.
Sutton fell and Long threw some shocks
OF wheat on what he supposed was the
dead body. Two men came along a few
minutes afterward and saw the muir
derer running away, in fact they saw the
two men facing each other, and saw the
shooting done. When they arrived at the
place they heard the negro grooming and
went to where he lay covered up. He
begged them TO take him to the shade,
saying that Long had shot him to death.
They carried him out of the sun and went
for doctor. But the wounds were fatal
and he died soon after
