CONCORD, SEPT.; 28, 1896.
OUB SCHOOLS PROSPEROUS.
It affords ns much pleasure to
learn that Prof. C L T Fisher has
this year also secured most excellent
services in his teaching force and
that Mont Amcana Seminary is en
j oying a full measure of prosperity.
As noted before, North Carolina
College is moving off under the ad
ministration of its new president
with a steady advancement that is
.encouraging.
We suggested to Prof. Holland
Thompson the utility of The
Standard's advertising columns
when he replied . that his room is
about all taken, that he could not
accept many more applicants.
The Concord graded school for
whites is unusually full and inter
esting.
Towering way above these vexing
questions on political economy
stands the importance of educating
our youth. In it lies the stability
of free government. In it lies the
fall development of human resour
ces. In it exists the co-worker of
the Christian religion itself. Good
crops, good farming, good stock, in
Mentions, successful manufacturing,
profitable mining, social gatherings
'tid. many other contributions to
t ae happiness and well being of the
human family are welcome topics
to te noted in bur columns but the
one second only to the triumphant
marph of the Christian religion is
the ever expanding influences of
our educational institutions.
May it be our opportunity to note
more of the school work I among us.
DOS'T MIX I'liEML
A religions exchange protests
against the habit of a number of
so-called preachers m New York
who debauch the pulpit wifh polit
ical harangues and mix sacred writ
with language little short of black
guardism No surprise at the stand
taken. The wonder is that the
voice of the churcn does not ring
' i-
out. in such piercing tonea as would
make tne ears of such religious mis
creants tingle with horror, at the
consequences of tbeir unholy prac
tices A mixture of politics and
religion improves neither, while it
trails in th dust the lair garments
of Christian virtue. The two should
be kept distinct, and the faithful
divine should hope to infuse the
spirit of sacredness and . purity in
his hearers that would be a restraint
against the evil and an impetus to
the good in politics.
Give us the gospel in its purity,
with its deeply hidden gems made
to shine forth with absorbing truth,
aod we will have less in politics to
need denunciation.
TIIAC11ER DECEIVES.
John Boyd Thacher has declined
the nomination for Governor of New
York. In doing so he does himself
and Democracy in New York much
credit. He was not in complete har
mony with the platform hud very
consistently declined. Being in fa
vor of the gold standard he could
not run on a platform declaring for
free coinage. He says some things
impressive enough. For instance,
"There seems no place in the Dem
ocratic party today for conservatism.
en are divided into two classes
each entertaining extreme views and
each extremely intolerant yf the
other. The history of legislation,
though,' is that conservatism in the
end prevails. He says, "I inherited
a patriotic love of country, a pro
found and loyal aection for the
Democratic party. When men re
vile it I want the more to hold it
fast." I
The Durham Sun says the
speeches from Messrs. j Russell and
Gudger on last Thursday night
were too indecent for people to
hear. The Sun's report of Rus
sell's language fits the name he
bears but not the dignity that
should characterize the Governor of
a great State, It is a sad common
tary on this progressive age that we
have a voting element that will
put up a man for high office who is
capable oi filling a speech with
such low blackguardism.
The Standard is in receipt of a
neat little volume, 4The Life of
Braxton Craven, D. D., L L. D"
from the pen of Jerome Dowd, Pro
fessor of Political Economy and So
ciology in Trinity College. Prof.
Dowd has our sincere ' thanks and
we hope to find from his pen a very
interesting sketch from that emi
nently interesting character subject,
Dr. Craven.

Daring Robbery in Illinois.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 26 Two men
disguised committed a most daring
robbery at the Union Foundry's
office at Brighton Park, this after
noon, and robbed the company of
81,600. . They then escaped by
means Of a buggy, but not before
they had shot one man and fired
several shots into a crowd of people
who were chasing them. A pairol
wagon gave chase, but did not suc
ceed in capturing the robbers.
The foundry is in a lonesome
place at the end of Brighton Park,
and no other buildings are near it.
In the office, when the robbers en
tered, were D F O'Neill, president
of the company, M A O'Rourke,
treasurer ; C R Hope, general super
intendent ; Charles O'Gorman, and
John O'Neill, clerfcs. Mr. O'Rourke
was engaged in filling the envelopes
of the men preparatory to paying
off, and the top of his desk was cov
ered with money. -
The robbers compelled the five
men to line up, and while one kept
them covered with two big revol
vers, the other scooped up all the
money in sight about $1,000, and
then both made their escape. They
then sprang into a buggy and drove
rapidly across the prsiries.
