TOWN IMPROVEMENT.
Plan to Interest the Government il
the Matter.

the Matter.
The effort to form a union OF all
organizations that have for their object
the beautfying of towns and citiel
which will be made In connection with
the convention of the American Park
and Outdoor association In Buffalo next
year will be widely approved, says the
Buffalo Express. Most of the large
cities and many towns and villages
have such associations and would glad
ly Join in the proposed movement
One OF the objects Of forming union
is TO interest the government In tn.
work and get its support TO the extent
Of collecting and making public infor-
nation on the subject, with photo
graphs, etc, showing what can be done
by organized effort. The governments
work would presumably be largely 10
show what has been done In foreign
towns and cities. The individual or
ganlzations have accomplished mucn
as II Is, but there is llmitless field In
which TO work, and government aid
would be valuable.
Every city In the country and many
towns are, for example. filed with un-
slightly billboards and display adyer-
Using In the form OF immense paintings
on buildings, etc. The improvement so
cietIes have given their attention to
this matter for long time, with con
siderable success. The courts In sew
eral states have upheld the right Of a
city to regulate the size Of billboards,
and there is every reason for believing
that In the not distant future blllboards
will have disappeared from towns and
cities.
The care and planting OF trees and
shrubs, Strengthening the sidewalk
lines, removal Of sidewalk and lot
fences and the beautlfying Of back
yards are n few Of the other changes
which should be made In towns and
cities. The question OF architecture ia
another important point. There is plen-
ty OF work to be done In Improvement.
and any movement such as the pro.
posed union Of the separate societies
which promises 20 help the cause
should be heartily supported.

THE INVALiDS' HOTEL.
TIE IDEAL MODERN HOSPITAL.

1t is generally the case that when some
great modern improvement OF old methods
OF business is put forward, the world says
How simple! Why didn't somebody think
OF if before?' When you read of an 'Inva-
lids Hotel as the modern hospital IDEAL the
provement. Why didn't somebody think OF
it befOre?''
The Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
OF Buffalo, n. Y the unique model OF medi-
cal and surgical progress, owes it's existence
to It's founder, DR.. Il. Y. Pierce, and the rare
combination of business acumen and profess
sional ability which he possesses in q marked
degree.
Most people dread the thought of the ordi-
nary hospital, however benefcent the insti-
tuition may be. In the popular mind the hos
I,ltal Is next to a prison: u place where ident-
ity is lost, and Il man or woman becomes
merely a case for the experiments OF doc
tors Or surgeons. With his experience the
thought occurred to DR.. Pierce, why not put
the hospital on hotel basis? Why not let
the patient preserve his individuality and
identity, and lead an existence as independent
and free as invalidism will allow? And so
was born and built the ''Invalids' Hotel -
whose walters are white-clothed men and
WhIte-capped women nurses. Here are no
great dreary wards, echoing with the moan
ing OF the sick, but separate rooms as in an
ordinary hotel, with extraordinary hotel SER
wee, the servants beng skilled physicians
and nurses.
The Invaiids' Home and Surgical Institute
is provided with every modern appliance for
the electrical or mechanical treatment of dis
ease. Nearly a score of physicians leach man
q specialist in his Department. arein constant
attendance on the inmates. Everything that
can Gonduce to comfort and home likeness is
provided by DR.. Pierce for his guests, and the
sights and sounds and smells of the public
hospital are entirely avoided.
Undoubtedly DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, n. Y, is
the modera ideal hospital.

The Ink Spread That Counts.
New Bern Journal.

New Bern Journal.
cit remains for the press OF North
Carolina to show how necessary and
vital, for the States best interests,
that this State should represented
at ST Louis next year, and work
towards this end should be, now"
SAYS the New Bern Journal The
press is willing, but from the way our
State bond issue remains on our
hands, even at 4 per cent, it looks
like wasting ink.
The above from Ouresteemed friend
the Greenville Reflector, is in no doubt
half Jest. and does not express its
real sentiments. nor does the Refec-
tors record show that it believes in
''Quitting'
The Legislatures failure to pro-
vide an ample fund for "a North Car
DINA exhibit at the ST. Louis Exposi-
ton, was a weakness, IL shOrtsight
edness, whivh in a business house
would have been a distinct set back
in it's management and probably in
Jury to its trade.
While there is no real analogy, per-
haps, yet could not Il States credit
be injured, at least there be hest
tation to purchase its bonds, when
those who seek to sell its bonds, re-
fuse to advertise its resources and
show its products to the world that
is seeking investment?
Let the merchant keep his store
filled with the choicest articles. vet il
he does not make known what he
has. there will be no demand or sale
of his goods.
The same may be said of North
Carolina. Its press boasts continu-
| ally of it's vast resources which will
prove profitable to any one seeking
their development, but outside of the
press there is no effort made to SHOW
| the goods"
But the Journal does not believe
any printers ink is wasted, because
this same subject is oft brought VI
| and as often reiterated.
p The newspapers Of North Caroline
have never as yet been weary in vel
doing, and this making North Caro-
lima get a good spirited move towards
helping its credit at home and abroa'
| by showing what it's resources are, i
an ink spread which means grea
legitimate results.

part Of the body polite, except
through thciorces ofevolution, which
are undoubtedly mt work, but which,
in the nature OF the case must needs
go extraordinarily slow. Where one
negro is fit for citizenship there are
myriads OF negroes wholly unfit. The
hOt-houSc process has been tried, and
it has failed.
The brilliant Kentucky journalist

this hot-hOrlse process is to be main
" charged he discOuraging fact that
thirty years after Southern Recon-

negro problem, us knotty as ever.
Centuries were required for theevOlu-

races into civilization out of cave
dwelling, nOmadic slvagery; on
through the semi-hurbarism of armed
camps and predatory bands; he rude

model of constitutional monarchy

English revolution of 1858, with the
declaration OF the Bill OF Rights; to
the marvellous fabric of civil liberty
upreared on the shores of the new

And yet, in the magnificent capital

full civil equality, the race which has

ambition to use the negro invested
him with the toga; an alarmed polit

Is no instance in history of IL people

stupendous blunder is weighty and
difficult.
