"MONEYED INTERESTS" LOOKING
TOWARD HILL.

Mr.. Bryan not only declines to be
effaced from the political situation,
but he is determined to do some eff
facing on his own account. He espe-
cially wants to eface Mr.. Cleveland
He has written several letters and
many editorial articles to prove that
Mr.. Cleveland betrayed his party, and
he has stirred up a good deal of heat
in the West against the sententious
statesman of Princeton. Mr.. Bryan
may not be a candidate again and he
may not be able to name the candi-
date, but he will be able to name those
who also will not be candidates. He
seems to be as much opposed to Mr..
Hill as to Mr.. Cleveland. There are
a good many signs in the air of quiet
work in MI. HIPS behalf in the East.
The "mOneyed interests" are looking
in his direction. A good many men in
Wall Street and that neighborhood
have suggested that it might be wise
to escape the domination of Mr.. Han
ma, who gave them what they wanted
but charged them heavily for it. Be
-sides, Mr.. RooseVelt's attitude toward
the trusts, while it has not satisfied
the more belligerent antitrust folks,
has not been all that seems desirable
to Wall Street. Meanwhile, Mr.. HiH.

SOME NOTES OF EDUCATIONAL PRO-
GREss.

We learn from an exchange that on
Tuesday, August 18th, a great educa-
tional rally will begin in Mecklenburg.
Eight meetings will be held in as many
townships and prominent men will ad-
dress each rally. There will be music
at each meeting and a barbecue to fol-
low the speaking. The object of the
meetings is to arouse the people to a
school term of eight months all over
the county.
A correspondent of the Raleigh
Post says: An interesting series of
educational meetings is being held in
Alamance County under the leader
ship of Superintendent W. S. Long.
He is undertaking to establish six
graded schools. Application will be
made to the next legislature to lay off
the six districts and authorize a vote.
In the meantime preliminary meetings
are being held to work up the interest
and a collection is taken up at each
meeting to supplement the present
school fund. At the meeting Satur-
day at Hawfeld arrangements we're
made to erect a modern school house
on a lot of two and a half acres, and
in addition 5000 was raised to employ
an additional teacher.
Says the News and Observer: A
letter from E~dgecOmbe's County Su.
perintendent r. NJ. Davis says that
nine districts have been consolidated
into five and that there have lately
been built five new school houses, me
at Conetoe costing $1,000, the others
5000 to $3.50, and that four of these
have been painted and the others will
be. Contracts are being let for two
or three other houses, while others are
being repaired and equipped with
good desks. A rally will be held there
after the 22nd of August.
At the end of oar educational rally,
says the Unionville correspondent of
the Monroe Journal, Prof. Albright
announced that there would be nine
months school at the Institute and
that every child in the district would
be free to go. The public school fund
of the district viii be supplemented by
private subscriptions sufficient to run
the school for nine months. While
every one who is able is expected to
do his part, no child can be debarred
because Of inability to pay. This is
a progressive>step.

THAT SCHOOL TAX DgCIsT0E

Your correspondent has referred to
the Supreme Courts "opinion" in the
public school tax apportionment case
from Greenville, to the effect that the
taxes must be apportioned per capita,
and that the Constitution so requires.
It is really not an opinion but a die
tum. The Constitution does not sag
the taxes shall be divided per capita.
1t says there shall be no discrimina-
ton between the races in the public
schools. But it can readily be seen
that in a per capita allowance there
can be discrimination. White schools
are necessarily more costly than col
ored schools. In a county like Edge
combe, for example, in a school dis
trict where the whites are Outnumber-
ed 3 to 1, there would be discrimina-
ton. The same thing would occur in
a district where the negroes were a
mere handful. Take a district with
$50 negroes and so whites. The money
to the negroes would keep their school
open several months, perhaps five, that
for the whites, not over 80 or 40 days.
The fact is that the dictum will hard
ly interfere with the progress now so
well begun. 1t is not an opinion, and,
therefore, it does not stand in the
way. 1t is understood hat this will
be the course pursued by the officials.
1t is good news. In view of the die
trm some persons thought or feared
there would be or might be a hitch in
the running of the machinery, but not
so.-RaIeigh Correspondent Charlotte
Observer.

THE COST OF THE BoER WAR.

The staggering cost of the war to
England is indicated by these facts:
The British lost 21,966 men by death,
including 1909 officers; more than.
5000 were captured or are missing ;
and nearly 1000 were sent home as
invalids. Two-thirds of the dead sue
cumbed to disease. From the begin
ming to the end of the British had a
total of 100000 men in the field. The
cost in money to the English is very
nearly if not quite a billion dollars.
The cost to the Beers in men and
money is not known. Their army was
small-probably never more than 50,-
900 men; nor was their treasure great.
But they have lost all they had.
England can carry this financial
burden with the addition that will be
required to restock the Boer farms.
But it is not a small burden, even for
the richest country in the world.
If these facts give some measure of
the ~prodigious cost of this long strug-
gle. which lasted from October II,
1899, till May 81, 19O2-two years and
nearly eight months-there are two
great lessons for the English and for
all the world, to be put down to the
credit of the war. The English army
is not the model military instrument
that it was supposed to be; and suc-
cessful fighting in a large hostile ter
ritory is an almost impossible under
taking, even under modern conditions,
if the enemy be courageous and per-
sistent. This war;, if any war can, will
surely act as a strong deterrent of
wars. The military lessons which
have been learned in South Africa
must necessarily strengthen the. peace
that now reigns almost over the whole
globe.
Lord Kitchener has received high
titled honors and a grant of a quarter
Of a million dollars. He is the Eng
lish hero. But it can hardly be said
that the English have won any great
degree of military renown. The scout
ing Boer generals showed a kind and
a degree of skill that will most inter
est the purely military historian

DR. EUGENE GRlssQM KILLS HIMSELF
IN WASHINGTON.
A Former superintendent CT the State Insane
Asylum at Raleigh Sends a Bullet
Through His Brain.

DIR. Eugene Grissom, once we'll
known as an alienist and neurologist,
committed suicide at his sons home
in Washington City last week, by
sending a bullet through his brain.
DR.. Grissom had been detected and
morose for several weeks and had be-
come physically and mentally weaken
ed from the use of strong narcotics.
He was a native of Granville County,
n. O., served on the Confederate side
until wounded during the civil wal
and afterwards was a member of the
State Legislature. For 81 years he
was superintendent of the North Car
Dina Insane Asylum, at Raleigh, and
gained a wide reputation as an alien
ist and lecturer. Before the American
Medical Society he delivered a lee
ture entitled "The Borderland of In
sanity" that attracted great atten-
ton. He was the author of "True and
False Experts" a work devoted to
showing the alleged inaccuracies of
the expert testimony in insanity
cases. Dr.. Grissom was one time first
vice president of the American Medi-
cal Society and several times presid-
ing officer of the Association of Amer
lean Asylums. He was the president
of the convention of 1886. He was a
Mason of high degree. He was Il
years old.

ENCOURAGING POLITICAL NEWS FROM
WIsCONsIE.

A political event of large signif-
canoe and promise was the sweeping
victory won by Gov. Robert LaFol-
lette of Wisconsin in the Republican
State Convention held at Madison
last week, and the equally decisive
blow struck at the attitude of United
States Senator John @. Spooner to-
ward the issues for which the party in
that State stands. Gov. LaFollette
and the Convention of 1900 stood for
two important planks in the platform
nominations by popular vote, rather
than by caucus and Convention, and
equal taxation. These measures were
defeated in the Legislature through
the efforts, it is alleged, Of Senator
Spooner and Henry Payne, now post
master general, both of whom are
representatives of corporation inter
ests which do not propose to pay their
just share of taxes and who can con
troll the State only through political
Vaccinations made possible by the
readily corrupted caucus and Conven-
ton.
Last weeks Convention not only
renominated the plucky Governor for
a second term, after endorsing his
administration of the States affairs
in terms most Aattering, but adopted
a platform stronger than that of 1900
in favor of popular nominations and
equal taxation, and then, after a fiat
tering euIogy Of Spooner and his en-
inent services and great abilities, in
vited him to stand for reelection to
the Senate, provided-and here's the
rub-he would take his place as a 10y
al Wisconsin Republican on the plat
form Of his party as adopted in con-
vention. That was as beautiful a
piece of political good faith as ever
was enacted by a State convention; it
told Mr.. SpoOner in simple language
hat he is a big man and a good Sen
ator. but that public sentiment is
stronger than any man, and that the
man who won't be dominated by public
sentiment, calmly and deliberately ex-
pressed, is not fit to represent the pub
lie. If Mr.. Spooner is SO blind to the
fine compliment here paid him, albeit
there is censure for the past and
warming for the future in it, he lacks
that perspicacity which is generally
attributed to him.-Chicago Rural
Voice.

ENAT0R HAENA's WISHES

Not Wanting the Presidency, but Very Ia
ger, Ills Said, to felaog Nominee.
According to the Washington cor
respondent, of the Evening Post, Sen
ator Hanna's position with reference
to the presidency is that he desires
far more to have a voice in deciding
the next candidate than he has in be-
ing that candidate himself. As for
the cabinet, a team of horses and
whole regiment could not haul him In
to it, according to a close friend Of
the Ohio Senator.
Should Mr.. Hanna's name in any
event come before the national CON
vention the report in Washington is
that he would have Senator Fairbanks,
of Indiana, as a rival. "The IF In
Senator Hanna's case is perfectly we'll
understood by his friends" says the
Evening Post correspondent, "and his
programme is as nearly complete as
any forecast can be so far in the fu-
ture. There has not been, up to this
time, any friction between Mr., Hanna
and President Roosevelt. Mr.. Hanna
has not asked the earth, and Mr..
Roosevelt has not quarreled with him
for the mere sake Of quarreling.
each likes the other personally,
and they deal as frankly as two men
engaged in a business enterprise in
which they are neither partners nor
rivals, but in which the fortunes of
one have a very considerable bearing
upon the fortunes Of the other. There
is always the possibility Of a clash
when they come to discuss the reap
pointment of some Of the Southern
omce-holders who were put into place
by President Mckinley at Mr.. Han
mas instance, and in recognition of
their services IN the st. Louis Con
vention.
"Not a few of these. unless the
signs are most misleading, are liable
to be dumped out when their terms
expire, as kimberley was, not because
they are Mr.. Hanna's appointees and
clients, but because they belong to a
class of politicians whom the Presi-
dent in spite of all his efforts to cuI-
tivate a rare catholicity of taste In
Republican human nature, has not
yet been able to stomach"

agencies of these interests at a price
arranged by them or to fight the COM
bined forces of tie three oil giants.
This offer was made openly and with
the idea of maintaining prices and it
has been refused, the Russian export
ers preferring to fight.
It was doubtless this combine, CON

DECISION
a Louisiana Court s~ustains the New COnsti-
tuition.

New Orleans. July 3O.-Tbe Louis
lana District Court has decided the
case Of David I. Ryanes, the negro
who brought suit to be registered in
order to test the suffrage provisions
of the new Louisiana Constitution.
The money for the suit was provided
by negroes by popular subscription, in
the hope of having declared null and
unconstitutional the new suffrage sys-
tenn which DISTINGUISHES most Of them.
Ryanes' case was taken as a test.
The Judge decided against the negro.
holding that even if the grandfather"
clause, which admits illiterate whites
without property to suffrage, is I'M
constitutional, it does not affect the
case of Ryanes, as one of the sections
of a constitution may be valid with
out destroying the whole constitution.
Ryane's right to vote, he said, was af-
fected in no way by the "~grandfath-
er" clause, and therefore the court
could not pass on that question: which
is the only doubtful provision in the
suffrage law.
The negroes will carry the case to
the United States Supreme Court.

ing the borrowing of 100000 by him

Mr.. Lacy said: "The law allows us

our debt, and as our interest on the 4
per cent bonds amounts to $142,68
annually we did not desire to make a
permanent debt but simply borrowed
the money for twelve months at Az
per cent. When we pay three of the
s~emi-annual payments of the t per
cent bonds it Will amount to $4,000
more than the 100000 which we Dor
rowed. If we had issued bonds they
would have had to run until 1910, but
this loan only runs until the 18th of
next March. But for this loan the
schools and the insane asylums would

on the debt must be met at n cost.
