AN INCENTIVE TO YOUTH.

Thirty-two years ago, with no capita
except skilled hands, good Judgment
prodigious industry and faith Cornelius
B. Edwards and Needham B. Broughtor
started a small job printing establish
ment in Raleigh They have succeeded
beyond their expectations and have bull
up the largest printing house in the
State. Yesterday they fittingly celebra-
ted their anniversary. Their success and
their high standing in this city and State
ought to prove a powerful incentive tc
aspiring young men.
The best sort of reading for boys is
biography because they are thereby filled
with ambition to do what others have
done. Better than that is an object les
son of what young men in their owr
towns, without special opportunities OF
advantages, have done. That is a living
moving biography that stimulates like
young men who are DESTROYS of winning
success.

THE LEASE PROPOSITION NOT AC-
CEPTED.

The Council of State decided yesterday
not to accept the offer made for the lease
of the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail
read. In this action they did what was
wlsest and best.
There are good business men who ia
vcred the lease. There are quite a num-
Der who would love to see the State sell
its interest in the railroad. But the leas-
ing of property worth $1,SO0,OOO for a
term of fifty years is matter of great
importance-too great Importance to be
determined without time for full investi-
CATION and public discussion. The position
of this paper is that a lease of such
Importance, covering so long period OF
time, ought to be submitted to the Gen
eral Assembly, the fresh representatives
of the people, for action. Therefore, with
out passing upon the merits of the propo-
sition, we applaud the refusal Of the Gov
ernor to thus project his administration
fifty years without seeking the approval
OF the legislative branch of government.
No public business ought to be fastened.
Leasing public property for half GEN.
fury ought to be submitted to the peo-
pies representatives. The folly of leasing
the North Carolina Railroad for ninety
nine years at rental of one-half what
could have been obtained, seven years
before the expiration of the old lease, will
be an object lesson for an hundred years
OF the wrong of such action. If that lease
had not hurried through, the State could
now lease the road from Morehead to
Charlotte for at least $500, 900 a year.
If it is wise to lease the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad-and there is
much to be said in favor of it-let the
matter be submitted to the General AS
scmbly, after recommendation by the Gov
ernor and Council of State and the direc
tors, to the end that the combined wis
dom of the State may give consideration
to the proposition. That policy is the
only safe one for a State to pursue in
matters of great Importance like the one
considered yesterday.

MONUMENT FOR BILL ARP.

correspondent of the Atlanta Con
stitution suggests that the friends and
admirers of the late Bill Arp should de-
wise plans for erecting monument to
that unique philosopher and sage. Writ
ing to friend in Raleigh a few days ago
Major j. M. Crenshaw, a prominent citi-
zen of northern Wake, says
ASK the News and Observer to do the
right thing to start a plan by which the
friends and admirers of Bill Arp can con-
tribute to building him monument
worthy of the man. / have tried to read
everything over his name and it has al

ter up and that suitable monumen,
will be erected.

NOT A PRECEDENT.

Discussing the Hamlet incident, the Bib
lcal Recorder says:
1T may throw some light on their sin
gular mistake to say that we were told
last fall by prominent citizens of BERTHE
and Hartford counties, noted for their
strenuous adherence to strictly white
supremacy and social separation of the
races, that some of the lower classes in
the East have been known in many cases
to permit negro help to eat from their
tables after the whites have eaten. They
made their distinction not in the place
but in the time. This is precisely what
the Hamlet people did. This is not to be
approved but we think persecution and
general furore quite unworthy OF a
dignified people,
1t is news that such practice obtains
anywhere, but if there have been such
incidents among "the lower classes" that
affords no precedent for the Hamlet eat
ing house. There would be a world of diff
ference between Clover classes" permit
ting negroes to eat at the same table
AFTER the whites had eaten" and a
that negroes are given place at THE
FIRST TABLE and whites allowed to eat
there afterward or given dinner at side
table in the writing room. The BERTHE
and Hartford incidents Gf the Recorder
is correctly informed) are in no sense
precisely what the Hamlet people did"
The facts show that there is nothing alike
except that both were served in the same
dining room-in the East ''the lower
classes" ate at the first table; at Hamlet
the negroes ate at the first table.
The Windsor Ledger, the Roanoke
Chowan Times and the Murfreesboro In
dex might throw some light upon the
statement in the Biblical Recorder, Since
the information the editor has received
about their counties is brought out as
precedent for the gross offense offered white
people at Hamlet. 1t is possible that the
editor of the Biblical Recorder has been
misinformed and he and all of us would
like to have the papers of those counties
give fuller particulars.

UNDERTAXED WASHINGTON

While Raleigh contains citizens who
complain that their property has been
assessed at more than its true value In
money, and others who complain that
Raleigh property is assessed too high In
proportion to assessments in other towns
and cities, the complaint comes from
Washington City that all property there
is under assessed. AS proof of under-as-
sessment, the statement is made that re
GENTLY Secretary Of State Hay sold a
piece of property to the Federal govern
ment for 1892 which was assessed for
taxation at $32,506.
Ordinarily the people of no other State
have anything to do with the assessment
of property outside their own State, but
inasmuch as Congress appropriates $4,500,
600 annually to pay the deficit in the taxes
raised to carry on the Washington gov
eminent gross differentiation becomes a
matter of interest to every taxpayer in
the United States. The tax payers of all
portions of the country are willing to pay
something to beautify the national capital
provided the residents who desire the
chief benefit are first taxed upon their
private property for local purposes upon
valuations like those that prevail in other
cities of like size, but it is grossly unfair
to tax outsiders for keeping up the gov
eminent of the District of Columbia when
the property OF residents of the District
of Columbia is grossly undervalued.
