Today (Monday) expires the time for Spain to say yes, or no, to tbe altimatam. Even before these lines are read, probably, the American Spanish sky will have changed its hue. Were Spain in any condition to renew the pass at arms, moments would be as months in buden of anxiety, but as Bbe is reduced be yond the possibility of striking an other blow, there is little doubt as to what the out-come will be.

The be on his ear about some of bis teacher who works with an under mini8ter3 wishing certain reforms standing of the cardinal principles THE CO$ COALED WEAPON LAW. It was stated in our Ealeigh correspondence yesterday that Attorney General Walser in his report to! the Legislature will recommend that the carrying of concealed veapons be made a felony instead of a misdemeanor. If anything at all is done with that law it should, instead of baing made more string ent, be repealed. Its practical results are exactly the contrary of those intended. Is disarms tbe law-abiding citizen and leayes him at the mercy of the lawless. There is no person who is criminal at heart who pays the slightest heed to it; it restrains Loue ot this class. But above and beyond that, it violates the spirit of our institutions. It' is no more the business of the law to say that a mac shall not carry a pistol in his pocket than it is to say that he shall not carry an Irish po tato. It has the right to hold hi n responsible for its impror er u,,uut it is not right to punish him ' for the mere haying of it. His right to have.it is a natural light asd the law. forbidding: his carrying it is an unwarrantable invasion of his personal liberty. This - liberty has been too far invaded when the citizen is for bidden J, to carry his pistol and his doing so is made a " misde meanor. The Legislature will hardly hear a suggestion that the offence bo made a felony. Charlotte Observer. We endorse the Observer's position most fully and wonder why such a law has been allowed on the statute books so long. Every' ucious character frugal enough to be able to buy a pistol or shrewd enough to steal one has it on hand regardless of the law. "We ought not to need pistols but when we know vicious men have them and are embold ened by the knowledge that the law-abiding are not armed it is oppression to the better class and license to the worse.- It seems to us immensely wiser to make it a misdemeanor or a felony'to have the pistol otherwise than con cealed, that is let' it be punishable to make a pistol a source of in timidation which displaying it is. Pistols do not hurt if no signs of their presence exist. Self preserva tion is the first law of nature and there are times when self defense is as much a duty as anything in life. Let that law be abolished and the penalty for displaying a pistol for other than self defense ha such as to make itself to be dreaded.

Tbe Teacher Mast Be As Deeply In. tercNted In the work As th Inptls , -To Keep-tbe' Children Busy Iu School Not Sufficient. One of the common answers to the question, how to maintain good order in a school is to keep the children busy. At first sight the answer appears to be . conclu sive, but on a little closer exami nation it is fouijtl to be no answer at all unless whi t is iinaut by the term busy is clearly understood. Children that are well and healthy, such as are usually sent to school, are always busy. They may not work at the things that we desire them to attend to, but neverthe less they are busy. If they are not busy at the regular work of school they are busy at something else. It may be some study or book not connected with tbe school or it may be with the playing and otherwise disturoing1 the good order of the school. Now it is the nature of child ren no t to be engaged vol untarily in games or studies in which they are not interested. They play in sohool because they are interested more, in playing than they are in the general work of the echo ol. This being obvious to the dullest teacher it is- plain that if we desire to keep children busy in school they must be made inteiested in school work. How to make them interested, then be comes the most important prob lem the teacher has to solve. Up on his success in this particular part of his work depends not only the advancement of hi3 pupils but also the good order of his school. In order to keep the children interested the teacher must be in terested. It is well known that to make others interested in any subject we must be interested our selves. What is true of adultsin ... this respect is true of children. The teacher should be interested in his work He should be serious and always in earnest. His own earnestness will have a great in fluence over the minds of the pupils. In tact it is a matter of common observation that children take an interest in what they see others interested. In time of war they play soldier. In the hunting season they play fox. In the time of threshing wheat and oats they frequently have plays to corre spond. In time of corn gathering they have their play cor n-shu lik ings. This being true it ought to be plain to the teacher that M3 first duty to his pupils is to be in- underlying the passing from what is known to what is unknown will not ignore this fact and con clude that all the pupils can be made to learn in exactly the same way. The concepts or ideas the children have when they enter school aro their tools to work with. They are their apperceiving concepts and to them the teacher must look for help in getting the pupils to advance in knowledge and intellectual discipline. Some of the good ideas may be bad, others good, but good or bad the' are all the children haye. To at tempt to teach without taking them into consideration would be to invite failure. x Dr. Samuel Johnson says: "No body can be tan ght faster than he can learn." He might havesaid noone can not be taught what he can not learn. No child can be taught it it has no$ sufficient concepts to grasp the subject which it is attempted to teach. These assertions are evidently truisms, so simple that no teacher can fail to understand them. Their application to a school of thirty little children is, however, not so simple. From the very nature of the circumstances by which the different children are surrounded in their homes and every day as sociations when not at school it ought to be evident that to a cer tain extent each child must receive separate and special attention. Before a child can be made to advance from the known to the unknown the teacher must know what is known to the child. In order to proceed intelligently and quickly he ought to know what advantages the children have at their respective homes. If he is ignorant of these, he may find be fore he procseds far that he is using language and illustrations of I which some of the pupils he is trying to instruct nave not the slightest conception. Many of the failures to get children to learn are no doubt due to the lact that the teacher supposed the pupils to know, things of Jwhich they were totally ignorant. To teach a pupil the teacher - must use language that the boy understands, other wise the explanations and illustra tions will not explain and illus trate. He can not make use of unknown language and unknown illustrations and get the pupil to advance. We advance in knowl edge from the known to the un known, not from the unknown to the unknown. If teachers would closely observe the principle hinted at above j it would -rarely happen that failure would be the reward of the labor bestowed. (Continued on Fourth Page.) THE RACKET.
