THE STANDARD.
JAMES P. COOK, Editor.
BREVARD E. HARRIS, CORRESPOND
ING EDITOR.
There seems to be no -mistake
that it is 1801.
There are 365 clays in this year;
.V2 of them are Sundays.
The United States has 167,172
miles of railway, or enough to
encircle the earth six times.
Let's mob the first man who
attempts a pun on the personal ap
pearance of the hgures in lb'Jl.
In this country there are 110
different religions; and yet not
enough to cover the peculiar notions
of some people, and flexible enouah
to suit all the ideas and opinions
entertained.
The Wilmington Star's Brief
writer is not short of a philosopher,
lie says: Under the McKinley
tariff the prices of photographs have
advanced. This is to be expected.
People's faces are longer than they
were before.
A St. Louis company has got
everything in readiness t o tackle a
company in Boston, and if they are
successful in their suit they will
bring suits against nearly all of the
electric street car systems in the
United States, for infringements on
their patents. That company means
to swallow whole hog. or none, and
it would be a good idea for them to
take their laugh first.
There seems to be an organized
plan to ascertain the age of editor
Scott, Jr., of the Lenoir Tox)ic. It
appears that his youthful looks and
his war 'record conflict a little. It is
greatly feared that he will deceive a
fair maid. Let Awful Funny Al.
Fairbrother issue a charter for a
Bachelors' Clnb to be organized in
Lenoir, and persuade the matrimonial-leaning
Scott to join. But the
Globe man "drew the line" on
Brother Scott
The Standard desires to return
thanks to an unknown party for
ortrait3 of the officers of the
rational Farmers' Alliance and In
dustrial Union. They are on one
board and are : Hon. Leonidas L.
Folk, President ; Hon. Benjamin II.
Clover, Vice-president ; Hon. J. II.
Turner, Secretary; Hon. II. W.
Hickman, Treasurer; Hon. Ben.
Terrell, Lecturer; Hon. C. V. Ma
cune, chairman Ex-Com.; and Hon.
Alonzo Wardell, member Ex-com.
It is a collection of fine, sturdy look
ing men. It shall hang upon the
wall of the editor's room.
George W. Childs, editor of the
Philadelphia Ledger, is one of the
happiest editors in the world. In
having his Christmas fun he gave
away over $20,000 in cash, besides
other costly presents. He did not
use it foolishy, however, but he gave
it to his employes. Mr. Childs does
not regret it either, nor did he over
look a single one in his empby, and
said: "My greatest happiness at
Christmas comes from the fact that
I am able to give happiness to
others." Oh, but that we had more
men in the country who were willing
and glad to lighten the burdens of
others, and bring sunshine and hap
piness into the homes of others.
THAT IXDI'KTRIAI. SCHOOL FOR
;1KI.S.
A movement is on foot, looking to
the establishment of a school for the
industrial training of girls. Peti
tions from every quarter of the State
will be presented to the Legislature
at its coming session, with the appeal
for the passage of a law providing
for the appropriation of State funds
to the organization and maintenance
of an Industrial School for girls.
The Standard, in an issue several
weeks since, saw fit to express doubts
as to the necessity of such an insti
. tution ; at least it doubted then, and
has had no reasons for changing
opinions held, whether the results
of the most enthusiastic hopes
would justify such an expenditure
of the State's money and render it
liable for its financial support
No State, it is true, has a right to
be niggardly in its recognition of
causes that are imperative for the
successful issue of a work looking to
the good of humanity, and the
Standard does not deny the good
and possible need of a little more
industry in our schools (male as well
as female); but as to the wisdom of
the State's assuming that work is,
to us, very questionable. The issue
is an unfortunate one. It will be
brought before the Legislature seem
ingly with the endorsements and
demands of a large portion of the
citizens, when, in reality, many of
the signatures were secured without
the signers giving the subject any
thought, and from a common habit
of signing petitions that lay the
signers liable to the payment of no
money. This cannot be denied.
Efforts have been making for sev
eral years for the establishment of a
Girl's Training School ; the senti
ment for it. is strong; and we be
lieve the people are ripe for it and
awake to the great need of that in
stitution ; but if petitions are to be
6howered upon our Legislators ask
ing for an Industrial School and the
demands for a Training School be
pressed, the result will be that neither
will be secured.
An Industrial School for Girls is
impracticable, because not needed ;
and, if established, would be useless.
Where is the girl that would attend
such a school ? Xot in this State.
The girl with wealthy parents would
not attend, nor would her parents
make her ; the ambitious girl with
an eye to business, though she had
the means to attend and needed to
live an industrial life, would not at
tend for she knows, as well as thous
ands of others, that good training
can be had at her home or at the
home adopted ; the poor girl, though
tuition free, would not attend be
cause she has responsibilities resting
upon her to such an, extent that her
time must be devoted to the earning
of a living for herself and possibly
others. Spend money for an Insti
tution to teach girls how to cook,
when there is a cooking school in
every home in the State! Spend
money for the establishment of a
school t r teach housekeeping, wheu
there is a house training school in
every home ! Spend money for an
Institution to train girls to sew,
when such knewledge and training
begins with the doll baby's first lit
tle dress and goes on in every home !
Spend money for an Institution to
teach English branches, etc., w! e i
the State provides free schools at
your homes !
The Standard is aware of the
origin of this move; and that is the
best tmng about it. Ine noble wo
men of the W. C. T. U. are earnest
and mean well, but they are demand
ing something that North Carolina's
country people don t need, and the
town people don t want and c.ire
nothing for. Let those noble wo
men spend their forces forth? Girls:
Training School ; let them appeal to
our numerous schools for females to
make the course more practical, to
mix a little se-vins: with the music
a little bed-making with the calis
ihenics and a little cooking with the
paintinc. If the organization that
is moving in this matter cau induce
the trustees and taculties or our
Female Schools to make the course
a little more practical, theu they
will have done a great service.
Thi3 is no attack upon the W. C
T. U.; it is the candid expression of
an honest opinion.
THE 1U R1IAM til.OBK AM STATE
( IlllOMt m:.
The Durham Globe has for quite
a while talked pretty freely about
the State s printing contract with
Josephus Daniels, the editor of the-
Chromcle. That a change ought
be made in the method of iettinjr
out the work there can be no doubt
after the full consideration of the
facts. In the numerous items the
Globe saw fit to publish, Mr. Dauiels
made no reply. Several days ago,
the Globe made some very hard re
marks about Mr. Cade, the editor of
the Progressive Farmer. Mr. Dan
iels took it up and called the Globe
man "an unknown interloper, up
start and blackguard." The Chron
icle's article is tough, very tough ;
and the Durham Globe devoted near
ly its entire editorial page to a per
sonal review of Mr. Daniels news
paper record and to hi3 manhood
The state of feeling is to be regretted,
and is regretted no little. That
brother Firbrother's remarks about
Mr. Cade were entirely too rough,
and uncalled for, is believed ; but if
such be the case and however aggra
vated it might be, our brother Dan
iels has no right to call any man, of
Mr. Fairbrother s stauding, "an in
terloper, upstart and blackguard."
In tins connection, the Matiuan
can't keep from thinking that th
State printing business is behind it
all. Let the matter be discussed
freely and without hard feelings
The Standard has no fight to make
on Mr. Daniels, as State printer, but
we believe that the system, now in
use, is a money wasting machine,
Why pay a middle man several thou
sands of dollars? Edwards &
Broughton do all the work ; and
why pay Mr. Daniels or anybody else
a big amount when he does nothing
except receive a per cent ? Why the
State Printer, as it now is, is a salary
receiver and contributes nothing to
the State!
Let the contract be made with the
lowest bidder, and require of him a
bond for the faithful execution of
the work.
Let the subject be ventilated th
out personalities. "Lay on, McDuff,
and damned be he who first cne
'Hold! Enough!'"

TIIK BLOOD IS Tilt LIFE.
No portion of the human organism
has, within the past few years, been
submitted to more thorough ami intelli
gent examination, by medical scientists,
than the blood. The result of these in
vestigations has been to clearly demon
strate that the general health is more
dependent upon the condition of the
blood than upon any other thing.
In making a diagnosis, some modem
rraetitioners are not satisfied with
merely determining the temperature
of the blood: they test it by means of
the mieroseope and other appliances, to
ascertain if uny foreign bodies have in
troduced themselves anions its mimito
cwrpuscles. Thus, for example, it has
been found that in persons affected
with gout, uric acid may always be de
tected in the blood; while the cause of
other disorders has been traced to the
presence of germs, or microbes.
These discoveries have thrown a flood
of light on the causes of disease; and
physicians now, in the treatment of
many complaints, go directly to the root
of the evil by endeavoring to purify tho
blood of its contaminating poisons. For
this purpose nothing else has been found
so ellieaciotis as the iodide of potassium.
I.ut the best effects of this drug can
only be obtained when it is used in
combination with other tilings, such as
sarsaparilla, podophyllum, or yellow
dock; and Ayer's Compound Extract of
Sarsaparilla, being considered the most
skilful union of these ingredients known
to pharmacy, is therefore most highly
recommended by physicians.
Even if the iodides were not present,
the Honduras sarsaparilla alone, of
which Ayer's medicine is tho extract,
would be sufficiently effective, in the
majority of cases, to produce the most
desirable results. But, "to make assur
ance doubly sure," and to greatly facili
tate the purifying process, the iodide of
potassium lends its powerful alterative
and detergent properties to tho rest.
The distinctive value of Ayer's Sarsa
parilla is that, while it is quite as potent
for most purposes as the iodide alone, it
is safer in non-professional hands; fur,
by simply following the directions on
the wrapper, the patient becomes his
own physician. Hence this medicine
has long been recognized by leading
physicians and druggists everywhere as
the standard popular blood-ptu itkr.

SWINK'S TARIFF LECTURE.
The sectional discrimination of the McKinley bill, as it
now stands, is even more marked than was that of the Mills
biil, to which we called attention in 1888. The three most
important staples that aie peculiarly Southern are cotton,
sugar and rice. On the staples such as wool and Iron, which are
Northern as well as Southern, additional "protection is given
by an increase of rates." We believe there is no decrease in
rate on any important staples, other than rice and sugar.
Cotton is on the free list, of course, as before, but the rate on
cotton ties, made in and used in the South, is increased from
35 to 105 per cent, so that, in fact, each of these great staples
of the South are discriminated against by the bill. They
have agreed that machinery for the manufacture of beet sugar
may be imported one year free of duty. When asked to
admit machinery for the manufacture of cane into sugar and
into molasses on same terms,
