MR.. LONGS POSITION ON MINED
SCHOOLS.

Do the people Of North Carolina want
at the head of their public school sys-
tenn a man who has given the ronge
evidence that he approves of white and
negro children attending the same
schools? This is the kind of mar the
republicans ask the people to mak su-
perintendent of public instruction. Mr..
Long the republican nominee for this
office, has never denied that he was TOT
several years at the head of a mixed
school in Ohio-a school where Whlts
and black children were taught togeth-
er. He held this position of his own
free will. He would not have done so
had he been opposed to the principle.
No better evidence can be had than TINS
action on his part that he approves OF
mixed schools. If such system met with
his approval in Ohio why not also IN
North Carolina? The location has
nothing to do with the principle. Ii
Mr.. Long thought it right for white
children and negro children to be put
on terms of equality n made to as
sociate with each other in Ohio he viii!
believe it right in North Carolina. The
constitution Of our state, of course,
would prevent his bringing o such
a deplorable condition Of affairs if the
state should become SO unfortunate as
to have him placed in the office to
which he aspires; nor would he dare to
openly advocate it, but just think of
having a man in charge of the education
of the white children of the state who
holds such principles.
There are other objections to Mr..
Long, but the n above mentioned
should be enough to make every white
man in the state vote against him-yes
and negroes too, for we believe that a
large portion of our colored population
would be opposed to mixed schools.
They would prefer having their chill
dren taught separately. The sensible,
thinking ones among the negroes do not
want it-would not have it if they could.
Yet the republican party puts up for
the head of our school system a man
who advocates it. If all those negroes
who are entitled to vote would cast
their ballots against this man at the
November election it would go a long,
way toward reconciling those white peo-l
pie, who now oppose it, to taxing them
selves for education of the negro chill
dren. 1t would do the further good of
showing the white people hat the ne
gros have confidence in them and look
to them for fair and just treatment.

THE BOER
A Conference With Secre-
tary Chamberlain.

London, September 5.-The conference
between the Boer generals Botha, De-
Wet and DeIarey and Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain, was held today at
Downing street. The generals were es-
corted to the colonial office by an Off
cial of that department of the govern
ment and drove there in ar open carri-
age. They received a hearty welcome
from the great crowds assembled at
a end of the route. The Beers wore

them.
Lord Kitchener and Lord OnsIow, un-
der Secretary of State for the colonies
participated in the conference which
lasted two hours.
The faces of the generals as they
drove back to their hotel gave no hint
as to whether they had derived salts
faction or otherwise from the confer
ence. They conversed together volubly
occasionally raising their hats in re-
Spouse to cheers. Reporters were re-
fused all information
The length of the colonial office con-
ference is said not to have been due to
the controversial character of the pro-
eeedings, but as the Beers spoke in
Dutch, considerable time was occupied
in interpreting their remarks.

announcement that the proceedings will

NO TARIFF REFORM.

The editor of the Chicago Inter
Ocean not long ago bad an Interview
with President Roosevelt. The day af-
ter this conference that newspaper
printed an editorial on the question Of
the revision of the tariff. The position
taken in this article, appearing in a re-
publican newspaper SO soon after its
editors visit to the president is natur-
ally supposed to represent the views of
the president on the subject. If this be
so, then there is no prospect of an
early revision of the tariff.
Secretary Shaw admitted that the
tariff law needed modification in some
particulars, but these would not be
made at present. Some leading repub-
iicans nave said the Diagley bill was
needed at the time of its adoption, but
that its object had been accomplished
and now should be modified in some of
its provisions. But this republican edi-
tor fresh from a conference with the
president declares for retaining The
Dingley bill intact for the good it has
done and sis dong today" He can see
no reason for Disturbing our splendid
industrial fabric merely to rectify a few
crooked lines" He says it is doing
for the country IN 1902 as much as it
did in 1897" and he repeats Mark
Hanna's cry Of "1et we'll enough alone,
He declares the present tariff law
Stands on sure foundations and ap-
proved principles"
Is not this notice sufficient to the
country that we are to have no relief
from the high tariff its attendant
evil, the trusts and m~o1opolies? If we
cannot get relief from the burdens of
one we cannot from the the A men,
Der of Mr.. RooseveIt's cabinet has said
that the only may to attack the lat
ter was through the farmer, and the
president IN some of his recent
speeches has virtually admitted that the
only way to control the trusts was
through an amendment to the federal
constitution, ait the same time declar-
ing to secure this would be a matter
of difficulty and a matter of time"
The president in all his speeches care
NhS oNOAICu Oily dlluSlOH 10 the Iarl1
and its connections with the great ma
nopolies, those bad trusts, which he
started out in his presidential! career
with such determination to check. II
changing from one position to another
in his schemes for suppressing them he
has never alluded to the simplest,
-surest and most feasible one. O1s
reading the presidents New England
speeches would not know that there
was such a thing as a protective tariff,
much less that 1t was one of the chief,
if not h chef, issue in the present po-
ltitcal campaign. This is the issue
that the republicans dread the most
and they are doing all in their power
to keep it in the back ground, while
they are fooling the people with a pre-
tense of undertaking active measures
to suppress trusts. Every now and
the the president tries to throw them
off the scent by a TRADE on the Mon
roe doctrine. The scheme will not
work. The action af several republi-
can conventions of the northwest shows
that the masses are awakening to the
iniquities of the present tariff system
and the Importance to them of its re-
form.
