Germ ans at Waterloo.

A heated controversy has been started
in English newspapers by the assertion
made by Emperor William H., at Han
over, that the deeds of the German
Legion had saved the English army
from destruction at Waterloo. The
London Journals seem to imagine that
the German Emperor meant to say that,
unless the PruSSianS under Butcher had
come up i'll time, WelIns ,on's army
would have been annihilatcd by Napo-
leon. A moments reflection should have
sufiiced to demonstrate that, whatever
may be the private opinion of William
III. touching the Importance of Butcher S
arrival, he did not express it at Hano-
yer. He was there TO commemorate the
deeds of the German Legion" COM
posed, not of PrusSians, but of Han
overians and Brunswickers, who formed
a part, not of Blucher's, but of Yelling
toms army. In WcllingtonS force at Wa
terloo, the Germans outnumbered the
English by some 1000, and, unquestion-
ably, but for the aid afforded by the for
mer, the Englshmen and Dutchmel
must have succumbed to the overwhelm-
ing weight of Napoleons columns. The
German Emperor was, therefore, entire

Congress will not put a general tarif
on coffee because it fears to raise the
cost of the American breakfast table.
AS to bounties there is no satisfaction
in them to an agricultural country be-
cause the bounty awarded by one Con-
gress may be taken off by another, thus
destroying the Investments based upon
the original law. The most practicable
thing for a country situated as this one
is, is to obtain for coffee the same
benefits that are accorded tea, namely
n prohibitive duty on the lowest grades
This would leave the market for hign
grade competition, in which these is
lands would figure well, 1t Is possible
that the passage of the national pure
food bill would keep the inferior coffee
out thus necessitating no change in the
tariff laws.

Thoreau, whom the Star lauds as
food economist, was a good deal of a
humbug. When he lived at Walden
Pond he was forever haunting the
kitchen of Il worthy housewife, whose
husband was one of his distinguished

larder. He was particularly fond of
milk and doughnuts. The truth about
Thoreau is that, although he kept his
table expenses at minimum, he in

"Just Think of Such a Sucker as Me President ~

Of his first meeting with Lincoln at Freeport,
Mr.. Henry Willard writes in his recently publish
ed autobiography: II must say frankly that,
although I found him most approachable, good
natured, and full of wit and humor, I could not
take a real personal liking to the man." Despite
this, they we're soon on a footing of intimacy, and
an accidental meeting during a rain-storm provid-
ed the author with~material for one of the best
"reminiscences of the work. The two took refuge
in an empty freight car, where eve squatted down
on the floor of the car, and fell to talking on all
sorts of subjects. It was then and there he told
me that, when he was clerking in a country store,
of the State Legislature. Since then, of course
he said, laughingly, I have grown some, but my
friends got me into this business (meaning the.
canvass). I did not consider myself qualified
for the United States Senate, and it took me a
long time to persuade myself that I was. Now,
to be sure he continued, with another of his
peculiar laughs, Il am convinced that I am good
enough for it; but, in spite of all, I am saying to
myself every day, "It is too big a thing for you;
you will never get it" Mary-my wife-insists,
however, that I am going to be Senator, and
words he followed with a roar of laughter, with
his arms around his knees, and shaking all over
with mirth at his wife!s ambition. Just think

selves face to face with a road sentence. Only a
small proportion of them, however, actually go to
the roads. As a rule, the punishment is So fine or
thirty days on the roads, or $40 fine or three
months on the roads. In nearly every case some
farmer pays the fine and lets the negro work for
him the period of time he would otherwise have
had to work on the roads. This is true also of
sentences for offences other than vagrancy. And
while it is perfectly legitimate for the farmer to
pay the fine and have the culprit work for him
for the period they agree on, it is claimed that
some negroes have been forced to continue at
work after the expiration of the term of service.
This is peonage, an offence punishable by heavy
fine and Imprisonment, for which several Georgia
planters now stand indicted.

False Note.

One of the North Carolina papers referred to
the subject of a recent painful controversy as
"only the son of a contractor" saying that, there
fore, his utterances were of no account.
One of the foremost men of the State called our
attention to this and said that he would enter a
protest against such an unworthy utterance but
for the peculiar inhibitions of his official posi-
ton. "I am" said he, "not so much as the son of
a contractor. Ny father was a carpenter" We
never heard what work the father of the editor re-
ferred to engaged in; but he evidently left a son
in the world unfit to represent a true father;
for a truefather in the United States could not
be worthily represented by a son that would CLASH
fly men by the occupations of themselves or their
fathers. In North Carolina there is no %aristoc-
racy-of birth, or money, or religion, or en-
p%loyment. There is one, however, of character,
and must needs be. And there~is one of race

A Thought for Commencement Days.

When you shall have finished your course here,
remember that your education is just ommenc-
ing: Imean that education which is to fit you for
acting a distinguished part upon the theatre of
your country. The pursuits and honors of litera-
ture lie in the same road with those of ambition;
and he. who aspires to fame or distinction must
rest his hopes upon the improvement of his in
tellect. Julius Caesar was one of the most accom-
plished scholars of Rome, and Napoleon Bona
parte of France. In our own country we lately
have seen one of our most eminent scholars raised
to the chief mapistracy of the Nation, and the
greatest orator of the age made his prime minis
ter. I speak not here of politics. Literature has
no factions; good taste no nartles. Remember,
my young friends, that most of the men who thus
far have shed lustre upon our country had not
one-half the onnortunities of education that you
have enjoved. They had to rely upon their genius
and industry. Genius delights to toll with diff
%culties; they discipline its powers and animate it's
courage; it condemns the honors which can be OBJ
tanned without labor, and prizes only those which
are purchased by noble e%xertion. Wish not, there
fore, for a life of ease; but go forth with stout
hearts and determined resolution. AS yet, you
little know what labor and perseverance can effect,
nor the exalted pleasures which honorable e%xertion
gives to an ingenious mind.
May God take charge of you; lead you in the
ways of uprightness and honor; make you all use
full men, and ornaments to your country-Archl
bald d. Murphy to the Literary Societies of the
University of North Carolina in 1927.

Men in public life, and those who hope to
enter it, could hardly find a better political creed
than that which the venerable and beloved Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts, lately announced as his.
It is this:
First, I believe that the great things that
have been gained in these countless ages in which
men have been dwelling on this planet-and /
think we have gained great things-have been
accomplished by a very slow growth indeed. So
let us have the patience of God.
"Second, I believe that things are tending to-
ward what is good and not toward what is bad.
"Third, I believe implicitly that the desires
of the American people are for justice and
righteousness, however much they may be misled
at times. The permanent things are the stars and
the sun, not the clouds or the dust"

a THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

Those who saw with admiration how proof the
nature of Coriolanus was against all the soft
nesses of pleasure, the hardships of service, and
the allurements of gain, while allowing to that
unvarying frmness of his the respective names of
TEMPERANCE, fortitude and justice, yet, in the life
of the citizen and statesman, could not choose,
but be disguised at the severity and ruggedness
of his department and with his Noverbearing,
naughty and imperious temper. Education and
study and the favors of the muses. confer no
greater benefit on those that seek them than these
humanizing and c~ivilizing lessons which teach our
natural qualities to submit to the limitations pre-
scribed by reason and to avoid the wildness of
extremes.-From Plutarch's Sketch of Coriolanus.
