NOVEMBER 18 1898. THOSE 50 QUESTIOXS. Thoae are 50 questions well enough put by Prof. Coler to tne 8th and 9th grades, and to get S) many correct answer in so snort a tim& ia quite complimentary to pupils and teachers. We are very glad to give such tews to our readers. It k-epa us all measurably m touch-with our graded schoolan interest second ro none in the town, (gave the church). We're not so very sure that Pxof. Coler was not sending some of those question3 over the heads of the boys and girls to rack the brain in some of our older heads. Any way it added "cygnet" to The Standard man's vocabulary. Now we're whispering in the ears of the dear bays and girls that at come opportune time they get Prof. Coler to show them on the black board how and why it is 4 that ever v 4th year gives February 29 days save the century years, in which only i the 4th again is a leap year, that, is a year in which the earth laaptj forward, as it were, by Feb ruary's containing 29 days. We hope to hear often 'from our schools and know what the minds are drinking in. little! Theee school days, ah ! They aie fkli that tempt us older folks to wish to be boys and girls sgin. A O It EAT UDESTION. We copy today nearly the whole of. the Raleigh Port's editorial on tha suffrage question. . It is very strong ground but It is doubtless the -. coaviciions of many minds as it has been cf our own, though never clad in such apt words. It is not ' from a epirit of revenge or retribution for the past but aims liij a locking forward to the best in tercatc of a great republic by the light of the past. . The mistake of enfranchising the negro and making him the only race associated with the Caucasian in the world's great model of popular government has long since been seen but it has been said to be too late to retrace the step. A remedy for these race evils Tsust be found or let them hang as an incubaa over the advancement to bur mutual progress. It is worth eeri oup, unbiassed, patriotic considera tion. Auditor Ayer says the tax. rate in North Carolina is lower than in any State South of this, but it is higher than it was before fusion rule and they kicked about Democratic high taxes and ex travaganc while cotton v?a3 only selling for 7 cents. a Suffrage amendment. c Pecent occurrences, not dnly in thfs State, bu t Northern ? as well a Southern States have demonstrated much more than mere partiz-in vie tory . It has" emphasized the de termination of the Caucasian race to abso'utely rule the country. Uni versal Suffrage whish inoluded the African and at the Fame time ex eluded the Mongolian has been tried for thirty-odd years.'.. Bnt a few short years' trial in the District of Columbia satisfied General Grant and representatives from all the States, that the exercise of the eleco tive franchise by the negro w.s not only injurious but destructive, and therefore, in that District, it was ended. In all the States and other territories, however, it' has 'remained until now. "with what results the 9 ....... whole world knows. - ...'. , , There is but one remedy for this. The American people, through, an amendment to the Constitution of - the United States, included tha ne gro in all tha privileges uf citizen ship. The experiment has ' failed . It has resulted not anly in debauch ery but death to the negro) and added greatly to the degradation and demoralization of the white people in their political methods. The time has come when all thee things should bs stopped, for the peace find protection ot the white citizen, and that of the negro as well. The necessary remedy can only be ap applied through an amendment to the federal constitution ; and this amendment should not stop at a mere repeal of the Fifteenth amend ment, or its immediate predecessor, but by one, clear cut and unmistaks able, excluding all people from the elective franchise not entirely of or within a very c'03e degree of Can cssian blood. This would simply add the African to the Mongolian, now prohibited All other protecsj tion or opportunities now enjoyed would and- should be guaranteed to the negro ; but that power, which, however limited otherwise, only remains a constant temptation to the negro should be taken away once and forever, ft . " . I he Missiseiprn and South Cares Hna plana are but temporary make shifts at beat ; the yiolest suppres sion of the negro canuot ba resorted to at each recurring election. Sich is G3 much of a degradation of the whites as it ia ruinous to the negro, to peace and good order. Even Bhould the negro consent to become a vote-, relinquishing all expectation, or desire-. to hold an of uce, ne win men only oecome a purchasable commodity, open to the uses and abuses of vile men, though white; and to counteract these, men otherwise honorable and 8elfre speoting, would have to enter the market. The largest puree would then decide the character of our ! government, a thing as dangerous to the welNbeing of the people ?s existing conditions can be. ' To simply deny the negro the j privilege, by coercive means, of hold ! ing office, and leaving him the privilege of casting a ballot for others to hold them, only turns loose an enormous instrumentality of fraud and debauchery, as utterly demoralizing to the whites, as ic must and will prove d?struotrye to decent and honest government. North Carolina cannot pss a law of itself accomplishing the result aimed at but" the legislature has the right to propose an amendment to the federarconstitution meeting thia purpose, and submit it to the con sideration of the Congress and the several States. The issue must be met. Let it be done -manfully, squarely, honestly, for the gpod of all,- Raleigh Morn ing Poat. A . company of oung about to join the aray;twere wait for the cars. They5 were" excited and noisy, and evidently their mothers ' and BisterewereiBoramong the friends wnd' alted' for their talk was liberty with slang and , swearing. r .Tber.is a preveree notion in silly-heroic minds that a soldier must swear.; v Thp train -arrived, and the young men stormed aboard, shouting back their good-bye with interjections .of oaths and vulgar lingo. , Their rude manners of course drew notice of all the pasdenpers. For nearly an hour their coarse fun was kept up. By that time they had about exhausted their hearerd' patience.' Several of the annoyed and indiernant Dasseneers were on . . r. . - . . . . - the point ol appealing to the con- ductor, when a little girl not more than seven years old, a fair and delicate child, silenced the men in a moment. Like the rest she had borne their bad language as long a3 she could. She slipped from her seat beside her mother, and going straight to tne loudest swearer in the gang, laid her little pocket Bible in his lap. " " Not a word was said. One appeal ing look into the young man's face, and the little girl trotted back to her mother; but she had administered a rebuke that was keenly felt by him and his noisy comrades.- Not another oath was heard during the -journey. At the next stopping place the young man got out and bought a package of candy for his little friend. When he gave it to her he stooped and kissed her, and pronLed that he would always keep the Bible for her sake. The act of the child entirely of her own prompting, as her mother afterwards said was one of those inspirations of gentleness that checks lawless misdemeanor when direct reproof would only make it more abusive. In vthe most im pressive and tender way it re minded the young soldier and his companions that social decency and divine command still held a claim upon them, and that profanity, instead of a, limartiai virtue," is, an unmanly shame.
