The record of parties since 1872 and
the present condition of both the
great organizations, says the Wash

preston, entertained by some of the
most sagacious Republicans in Con-
gress, that their party, which has won
the last four contests for the control
of the House, has not hopeful out
look for fifth consecutive victory.
Existing differences among Republi-
cans upon some Of the great and press
ing questions render it highly prob
able that the end of this session of
Congress will find the Democrats
equipped with so large supply of
effective political ammunition that
they will control the next House.

UNION GOING FORWARD.

TO the county of Union belongs the
honor of having the best rural telephone
system in the State and Of voting the
first special tax for the establishment Of
3 rural graded school Adverting to tho
fact that Guilford's eight school districts
had levied a special tax for rural graded
schools, that two other elections had
been ordered, with three others ready 10
be ordered in December, this paper said
that Guilford was leading in improving
lis country schools. 1t ought to be said
that the people have had an incentive
to voting special taxes that no other
county enjoys, the e~nterprising pooDlo Of
Greensboro having voluntarily raised six
thousand dollars to supplement- dollar
for dollar every cent raised by local
taxation.
The Monroe Journal copies the editorial
from the News and Observer and adds.

she was rich. rich in the purity Of her
W~omanhood, rich in personal dignity, re-

If these old spiritual and moral ideals
are to be sacrificed on the altar OF Nam
mon; if liberal culture, moral standards
and reverent religious spirit are to be
replaced by greedy triumphant CONNER
cialism, then the New South in all the
splendor of material prosperity, with her
blue sky darkened by the smoke of her
factories and a millionaire's palace on
every hill. will be infinitely poorer than
the Old South of 'e5.
against his on-rushing food of vul-
gar materialism let the teachers of our
children stand like a rock. If this rising
generation, moulded in mind and heart
by the teachers. can be taught 10 feel

mr. BUTTRICK AND THE WORK
OF THE GENERAL EDUCA-
TON BOARD.

The address Of Dr.. Buttrick, the exc
cutive OF the General Education Board,
before the Educational Conference yes
terday morning, vas deserving OF the
genuine anplause with which it was re
ceiyed. 1t was delivered in convcTsa-
tional tones. in clcar-cut sentences, in
directness and power, and there was a
sincerity and commences and breadth
about it that showed the speaker TO be
worthy Of the important position he
holds. Dr.. Buttrick speaks for men Of
large wealth Who are deeply Interested
in educational progress Of the South.
He has been selected by them because or
his ability, great common sense and
| executive capacity to administer the
fund that will amount to millions OF dol
lars. They are ready to invest their dol
lars wherever it will show results. They
| have no plans except those in harmony
| with the policies adopted by the regular
Nv constituted authorities of the South
crn States. Recognizing he great need
of better schools in the rural districts of
the South, the General Education Board
is putting its money into those districts
that show a Willingness to help them
selves. The rapid growth Of the local tax
idea in Guilford county is largely due to
the impetus given by the donation of
81, 900 by the citizens Of Greensboro, and
the 81, 900 given by the Education Board
z.z- ,,:,o1 ~ 1aonI
tax in the rural districts of the county.
DR.. Buttrick's explanation OF the aims
and purposes of his associates showed
that they had no spirit except one of
helpfulncss. The money they invest is
not to advance any system or any policy,
and their spirit is as noble as the
action of the late George Peabody. The
people of North Carolina, determined TO
educate all the children of the State,
| rejoice to nave the cooperation of men
Of great wealth who are ready to use
it to advance the cause Of public edu-
cation. The State of itself can give only
four months school IN the poorer coun-
ties. With the aid of the General Edu-
cation Board it can soon build good
school houses everywhere, provide bet
ter equipment, and make the public
schools efficient.
DR.. Buttrick is built on the broad
guage plan and his heart is in his work.
He is in close touch and in perfect ac-
cord with State superintendent Joyner,
the County Supcrintcndents, and other
educational leaders of the State who are
behind our educational revival. The
people of Raleigh We're glad to entertain
him and Will be always glad to welcome
him to North Carolina. He is as charm
ing in the social life as he is wise and
resourceful in promoting public cduca-

IT SETS THE PACE,

The Educational Conference, now in
session in Raleigh, composed Of the coun-
ly superintendent of most of the coun-
ties of North Carolina, is the most i'm
portant convention held in North Caro-
lima this year. The men who compose
this conference are the colonies who
are leading tho fight for the education CT
the children Of tho State. They are in
the saddle. Upon their enthusiasm, their
wisdom, their generaliship depends
whether North Carolina shall go for
ward.
In opening the conference yesterday.
Hon. J. 7. J%oyner, State Superintendent
of Public instruction, made an admirable
speech. 1t was neither too optimistic nor
too pessimistic, but struck the golden
mean. Mr.. Joyner gloried in the efforts
that have been made and are making to
Danish illiteracy, but he showed the mag
nitude of the task. It was hopeful and
confident in tone, thoughtful and susces-
Tive, and set the pace for the papers thar
are to follow.
The State has put its hand to this plow.
1t will not turn back. The pledge to edu-
cate The children made with the suf-
fragc amendment will be sacredly kent,
Influences will so out from this meeting
that will tell powerfully for educational
progress.
