ious for the limelight. In neither in
stance are they representative of pub
lie sentiment in their respective Sec
tons.
Absolutely not a sound reason has
been nor can be, advanced for legls-
lation such as that referred to. Leav-
ing out of consideration the possible
duty of the State as unit to assist III
the education of even the loWly pick
aninnieS, it should be plain to all per-
sons that it would be absolutely sui
cidal to white interests in the South
to withhold such support
The negro is in the South to stay.
He will stay because the white man
wants him there and will resist any
effort at removal. statements TO the
contrary are at absolute variance with
the facts.
Since the negro is here to stay. self
interest demands that he be treated in
such way that his presence Will result
in as much good and as little harm
as possible to the white population
of the country. Education for the
race, even the opportunity for edu-
cation. is one of the means to accom-
pIish that purpose That it has been
to some extent successful in this direc-
ton none of those best qualified to
speak upon the subject will gainsay.
Therefore. the education of the negro
in the South will not be abandoned.
AS the News has said before, there IS
room for improvement in the kind of
training best suited to the negro; put
that is true of the whites also.
1t is true that some assert that edu-
cation spoils the negro. and they cite
cases in point. enerally one will find
that many of the alleged cases have
no foundation in fact. and that some
other instances have their parallels
in the white race. There has been
much miseducation of both races. The
demand for a more practical kind or
training is general, albeit it may be
more pressing in case of the negro. 1t
is quite often asserted that as soon
as you teach a negro to write he
turns forger. Unfortunately a good
many members of both races misuse
the accomplishment. But 1T weighs
nothing against the value of educa-
ton. If it proves anything at all it
is a bad thing to teach a negro or a
white person TO write and to let it go
at that 1t would be better if the
course of training were changed in all
cases to better suit the demands of the
present age.
The inconsistency of this contention
is shown by the fact that the propon-
ents are willing that the negro should
have for the support of their schools
the taxes by them paid. If it be true
that the education of the race is pro-
ductive of criminals. then not one cent
should be allowed for education; every
negro school house should be closed
upon the ground of public policy.
The South will continue to support
negro schools along with other schools
because it believes in the basic princt-
pie of public education, namely, that
an educated citizenry is necessary to
the well-being eff the State, and that
the citizen owning property should pay
taxes upon it for the support of
schools because of the benefits which
he receives through the training OF
every child. rich or poor, white or
black, in the security of his person ard
property.

Why the White Man Will Keep TIL:
Burden.

The Galveston (TeXas) News.
Governor Vardaman, of Mississippi.
during the campaign for the office for
which he now holds, advocated the di-
vision of the school fund of the State
between the whites and the negroes
upon the basis of taxes paid by the re-
spective races. The measure advoca-
ted has not been enacted into law,
and probably never will be. Governor
Davis, of Arkansas i'll his canvass for
q third term, advocated for Arkansas
measure identical with that propos-
ed by VarIaman for Mississippi. We
doubt that an ysuch measure Will be
enacted iE Arkansas. A similar pro-
position ma sheen made in Texas and
has been discussed in some localities.
The News feels quite safe in saying
that it vii not receive serious con-
sideration in Texas.
Notwithstanding the improbab1lIty
that the negro schools of the South
viii be deprived of support, the propo-
sails are harmful. 1t is not understood
in the North that they are mere pohu-
cal clap-trap, and that the triumph

GRANTS SANDER.
Ecsents His CHARGE of In
cendiariSm.
(Goldsboro Argus.)


In a card, inserted as an advert Sc
ment in the Raleigh Post, II. l.. Grant
seeks to make the impression that two
fires. which he says burned his prop
efty in 1891 and 1895, were the result
OF incendiary articles in the neWspa-
pers.
This is news to the people of Colds
boro.
Diligent inquiry here reveals the fact
that up to the time of the publication
of this card no one ever heard such a
suggestion in reference these hres.
Grant has bitterly antagoni2ed the
people of this community in his point
ical conduct and utterances, and they
have resented such conduct and utter
ances, and have fought and defeated
him, as they ought to have done. But
when he intimates that the fires to
which he refers were caused by politl-
cal articles in the newspapers, or by
public speeches of his political oppon-
ents he is guilty of a deliberate SLAM
der of the people of this community.
Our information is that one of
Grants colored employees became Of
tended with him and was suspected
Of setting fire to his property at the
time of one of the fires mentioned. AS
TO the other fire, we have never heard
suggestion that it grew out of poll
tics, or out of any feeling against
Grant We know that at the time of
the destruction of this property there
was very general sympathy with him
and his loss And now, TO have 1t in
tmated that we are incendiaries and
responsible for Grants losses would be

| the figures here given, the concession
must be that a landslide has set in
| for Parker.
Kings county is recognized as the
great Independent county of the State.
/ That is to say, there is a larger indie
pendent vote here than in any other
county. 1t is fair presumption,
| then that the movement of independ-
ents as indicated in the above figures
will be characteristic of independents
elsewhere
The Eagle made no preliminary
canvass ''up the State" but had access
for examination canvass that had
been carefully taken. The indicated
plurality "up the State" for Roose-
welt is S1,623. AS Greater New York,
by these indications, would give
er the electoral vote of the Empire
State by a majority of 100000. The
largest majority any Republican has
claimed for Roosevelt up the State is
10000 and most men of all parties
believe that the prediction of such a
plurality is absurd. But, if the
Eagles indicated vote is to be relied
upon, the Republican highwater mark
above the Bronx could be given and
Parker would still carry the State by
over 10000 if the Eagles figures in
Greater New York are as near right as
the last three estimates of the Eagle.
Commenting on the result of it's
preliminary canvass, the Eagle says
editorially:
Departure from custom will not be
resented Hitherto the Eagle has
permitted it's postal card canvass to
tell it's own story practically without
comment. On this occasion 1t mas an
opinion to express. Indeed, it may
be said to have a conviction. The
logic of the figures is that there is to
be a change in the party auspices
under which affairs have been admin
istered at Washington. That such a
change is impending the Eagle is now
convinced. 1t is sincere in the belief
that Alton B. Parker will on Tuesday
of next week be elected President of
the United States.
The success of the Eagles former
indicated vote has been such as to
entitle it's predictions to more weight
than are given to those of any other
newspapers.
In the last municipal election, two
papers-the Eagle and the New York
Herald-presented elaborate results
of a canvass like the one the Eagle
has taken this year The Herald
printed its figures and said they in
Dictated the election of Low for Mayor.
The Eagles figures were almost the
Identical majority that Mcclellan re-
ceived. In the last gubernatorial
race in New York, the Eagles prelim-
mary canvass gave Coler about the
vote he received in Greater New York.
The Eagles figures have therefore
come to be regarded as more likely to
be the result of a perfect system than
those of any of its contemporaries.
Naturally the Democrats will hope
that its figures will be borne out on
election day, and past experience
would warrant that hope.
Here's hoping that the Eagle will
be as true a prophet in 1904 as in the
past two elections.

CONTEMPT OF COURT?
Vigorous Objection TO Judge Pecblcs's

Clerk Pennington gave out some
news this morning when he announced
that instead of Judge Justice holding
court next week Judge PEBBLES would
preside. The announcement was prov
ocative of considerable talk.
This change is done to enable the
judges to be near home On election day
The change does not given unalloyed
