The Chronicle gives this item of news to its readers with regret aud pleasure: regret, thut a North Carolinian of ench talent and real scholarship should not be engaged in work in his native Stale; pleasure, that his ability has brought to him recognition and honors from abroad. Dr. Smith is an enthusiastic young scholar, and the Chronicle hopes that some day sufficient inducements can be off -red to call him back to North Caro lina. WHY NOT 1IKIXO HINOIIAIU SCHOOL TO KALElCIIf It is a noticeable thing that there is a fstrong teudtncy in schools and colleges r M. S i u uv r v a vim a- w xi u mj try to towns and citie3. If there ii no other reason for thi3, the recent fires t Bingham School tend to show that a Jjjood fire department is a very impor Ttaut feature in the property and perma- leucy or a scun or coiiege. Raleigh has the fire department and lany other important advantages. Why ihall not Raleigh m ike an effort to ring the Iiiughari School to the capital f the State? It may bo that self-pres- brvaiion will force the school to move to city. Why not to Raltigb? Other pwns will move in this matter. We hear that Greensboro and Ashe ville have already done so. We throw this out to-day merely in the form of a suggestion. There is no need to say that there is not a school in the State of any kind that has a career of such length and that its patrons are gathered from almost every State in the Union. Its mime would be worth 25, 000 to Raleigh, not to speak of the appa rent benefits tnat would follow its loca tion here. The Chronicle says, by ajl means, let us offer suflieieut inducements to secure the removal of Bingham School to Ed eigb, What savs the Chamber of Commerce?

Some days ago the Chronicle took occa sion to rebuke in plain teims the sanguin ary utterance of a Southern newspaper which threatened blood if an attempt should be made to enforce the Force bill. We do not retract what we there stated, but we do say that such a bloody article is not to bo compared for baseness and invec tive to the speech made by .Senator Hoar Tuesday. We have no space for his basely partizm utterance, aud give the follow ing synopsis sent out by the United Press merely as a sample of his offensive advocacy of his sectional bill: Hoar told Southern Senators that they had pledged their official oaths and honor as men that they would give their devotion to the Constitutional amend ments if they were only let back iuto their old condition in the Union, free from the consequences of reballiou. And now they were denouncing those Consti tutional amendments as "a stupendous crime and blunder." lie criticised the new constitution of Mississippi, and said the people were not blind to the objects of the Mississip pi constitutional convention. If they wur-r their eyes would have been opened by the declaration of Judge Calhoun, the president of toe convention, avowing the purpose for which it was gathered, aud who said that if he were asked whether it was the pnrposa to restrict nero suffrage, he would frankly answer, "Ys, that is what we are here for." Mr. Hoar recalled the Copiah massa ere iu Mississippi, the murder of Fred Mat.ttiews and tue burning of his widow's Iiouip, and said that within the prese.it Chrs'uias season that a widow's son,the Republican postmaster, a young man ot 21, had been shot down in the streets of C irrolltoa, the home of Senator George. "flow long," Mr. Hoar exclaimed, "how long, oh, God! shall the blood of these martyrs cry for vengeance from the ground? How long shall the murder of men because tuey are Republicans be the only crime to which Republicans are iu ditiVrent f The Senator (referring to Mr. Walt hall) thinks the era of these things is passing by in Mississippi. Let us hope so; and that when its dark and bloody history is written, it will be recorded that there was at least one manly voice in all her chivalry that uttered the in dignation of an American freedman at the outr.ige ou Americanism and on freedom. In conclusion Mr. Hoar addressed himself directly to the Southern Sena tors and said: "You have tried everything else, now try justice. You have exhausted every policy and failed. This terrible question will not down. Your people have listened too long to the evil counsellors who led them into rebellion, into war, into poverty, into crime. Let them listen now to the counsels of the greatest orator of antiquity: "Justice is, itself, the great standing policy of civil society, and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, is under the suspicion of being no policy at all." CIIRISTMAS DIXIE. The Christmas number of Dixie is a very handsome publication and is cbock full of interesting Christmas matter. Typographically, it is a beautiful issue and is as bright and a tractive in ap- peamnca as iu its contents. There is a growing demand for a Southern literary magazine which shall be an inspiration to the brilliant young authors of the South, furnish to the growing army of Southern readers a distinctive Southern literature, which shall go far to "create and foster public opinion, and mde it racy of the soil." Properly euoouraged and sup ported, with a large capital and ability to employ the best talent and artists, Dixie can well till that field. It already has the foundation and we hope it will begin the now year with the resolve and a large enough stock company to make Dixie to the South what the New Eug laud Magazine is to New England. The contents for Christmas Dixie in clude one of Joel Chandler Harris' bet$ tales lor children, " Two L;ittle Tale as Told by Uncle Remus;" Mrs. Jas. W. R cjers writes on "Daddy Zeke's Search for LiT Marse;" Wallace P. Reed gives a story of an "Old Debt;" "Ttie Rice Question" is discussed by Alex P. Hull; there are Christmas stories and poems; and Mr. Wm B. Phillips, Pu. D., for merly Professor in the University of North Carolina and now of Alabaiua, contributes a valuable article on ''Evolu tion of the Modern Blast Furnace. ' This issue contains "Some Bright Young Men of the Southern Pres.--," with por traits of F. H. RicharDiON, the bright, versatile and growing Washingr ton correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution; Clark Howell, man aging editor of the Atlanta Constitution who is the youngest Speaker of the House Georgia ever had; John Temple Gbaves of the Rome Tribune, whose reputation as an orator has caused many to say that the mantle of Henry Grady has fallen on his shoulders; and Joseph0S Daniels, editor of the State Chronicle. The sketch is from the pen of Mrs. Mel R. Colquitt, and is in her best vein. THE ROANOKE LAIDS. (Scotland Neck Democrat.) A gentleman who owns laud on the river remarked to us a few days ago that he has had many more inquiries this year concerning these lauds than before. He says that a Philadelphia company has made inquiries for as much as thir ty five thousand acres from the Grafffin farm map. It is contemplated by tue company to make a large stock farm. We do not know what is going to be done with these lands; but we know thy are valuable, and we intend that this paper shall carry the news, about them until other people learn of them too. And we are quite sure that our persistence in this direction has already directed attention to them, and we shall continue it, whether any appreciation is shown or not, and notwithstanding some may treat tne matter ugntiy. SOlTIJR . TKiXX W WgPAPEtt rOK TOWN AND COINTKY, V. . C. INSANE ASYLUM. A SUMMARY OK I ME Ul-ENNIAU REPORT. It In a Koble Public Institution and I)eefve Well ol The State Pacts and Figures ilvcn by a Director. We present to day the following arti cle from the pen of Mr. Joseph Cald well, editor of the Sra'e-ville I, -ind mark. He has en h I tr lVt ia the Western North Carolina Insane Asylum for several ye;xrs, and writes with a t nil and accurate kuow U-dge of the work a'jd needs of thtj iuititu;in. Vli he writes is, therefore, entitled to great weicht and consideration; and we are giaa to lay Detore our readers a full exposition of the workings of this model public institution from the pen of a thought ful and efficient direcror. Sj far as we know, there is no public institution in tae country wnicn in every way is near er perfect ia equipment and manage ment than the Western N. C. Asylum. It gives m pleasure to bear personal testimony to its efficiency and growing usefulness. We have visited it several times, and upon each recurring visit we have been all the mire iuipressed with its excelieut management. Its officers, directors and employees are worthy of all praise aud cominen 1 itiou. Mr. Caldwell writes: The board of directors of the Western Nort h Carolina Insane Asyium at Mor ganton held Us last meeting for the year at the institution l ist week. The su perintendent and t-ubordinate officer submitted their reports to the board ai.;. the board prepared its report to the Governor, to be by him transmitted to the General Assembly. All of these re ports are for two years' operations of the ayslum, and it is hoped that eveiy member of the Legislature now soon to assemble will read them carefully. The General Assemby at its last session appropriated for the support of the institution for two years, 175,000 It was allowed to retain for betterments a small surplus which it had been enabled to carry over from the biennial period 1886 to 188S, and the total expenses from December 1, 188, to November 30, 1890, were $1 78,885 t(3 The difference between this amouuS and the amount appropriated for the period, viz.: 175, 000, came out of the snrpius just re ferred to, and a trilling surp:us is again carried over after nil exp-.uses are paid. The reason for this t-urplu is that the appropriation was ba.-ed upon an esti- j mated average population of 450 for , 1889 and of 500 fr 18SK) and the average was not so high b:td teeu calculated. The number of patient remaining November 30, 18t9. was 465. and the number remaining November 30, 18U0, 490. The results of the two years' opera tions have been most gratifying in every particular. The recoveries on admission of patients have beun 4fi 7 per cent, and the death rate 4 07 per cent. the one number above and the other much below the average of similar institutions The superint6ndenca and medical work have been of first class character, while the subordi nate officers and employes have dis charged their dutien wHh fidelity and intelligence. This institution is one in which mechanical restraint is not em ployed. Up to about three years atro a light form of restraint was, in a few very violent cases, resorted to, but even this has been abandoned, and the ravinir has as free use of body and limbs as the quiet and harnikss incurable. The patients are treated with the utmost kindness and consideration. Gentleness and persuasion are more tffective agents for the government aud cure of the iu sane than the boot or the straight-jacket; and those who doubt this should visit the Western North Carolina Iusane Asylum. The pitients are kept in the best possible phytic d condition. The building is in perfect repair and the grounds have been brought into a high state of improvement. The whole in stitution is a model of cleanliness and order few gentlemen's parlors are cleaner or in roor; orderly state than the wards occupied ly mot i oient patients in this rtsytum. The improve:neLts during the period have been nnmeioas and important. Wh-it is probably the b.-st macadam 'Zed and graded rod in the State has beea made between the asylum and the rail road st-jtion, a di.v.ance of one rni'e through the asylum grounds and over a right of way geuwrously donated by Mij J W Wiison. tue enlightened and 1 ire-hearted president of the board of directors. The wa'er supply is brought through pipes from the mountains five miles ironi the asylum, aud has been found insufficient for the needs of the iaereasiug population of the institution. An irom"nse reservoir has therefore beeu built on the grounds to take the water which would otherwise be wast ed during the night. This involved large expense but will insure an am ple supply of water. Efficient fire ap paratus has been purchased and the danger of loss of lives or property from Are has been reduced to a minimum; this precaution effects a saving in another direction, as it is not thought necessary to carry more than a nominal insurance upon the property. During the year a considerable body of real es tate farming, meadow and wood lands contiguous to the asylum grounds has been purchased. This was felt to be justified by the excellent results which have attended the farming and garden ing operations of the institution. During the past two years the farm and garden yielded products of the value of $12, 27(1 47 The iterns mentioned coyer the extra ordinary expenses of the biennial period. The asylum is uow about full. Great e-ire has been exeried to properly reg ulate adm'ssions H-id all applicants txen received without discrimination, the institution would bvve been filled to its capacity two years ago. The jails bare been relieved and all acute or sup posed curable cast s have ben received, but during the ensuing yer some appli cants even of these classes it is feared will have to be turned away, (it her State charities are, however, in more need of legislative help, than the Western Insane Asylum - the North Carolina Iu sane Asylum, the Eastern Asylum 'and the Deaf and Dumb and Blind Institu tion, for instance. The Western Asylum, always modest in its requests, will therefore ask the Legislature for nothing in the way of. money excepting for the support of its inmates, and to keep np necessary repairs. 4 Two years, ago it re ceived an appropriation equal to 187.

This is $ ISO. 00 per year per capita for 500 in mates, and it should be understood that this amount not only feeds and clothes the patients, but provides skilled treatment, pays all salaried, pays tor drugs, fuel, light, repairs, :ml meets ail expenses of every sort hat 4oev r. i ne ja:ier or lrea ii com: v centft per day for bontdi; g i ers in the c tinty j .ii ti . i a that the fii'r; i- very r tis pay 41) rents I on,.--. 50 cm.ts This '2 c: : ; the board ol a pn :i c r s ', m a year.

When the State can provide every thing in tne way or comfort, care and skillful treatment for its ULfortunate in sane at lees than double what it coms to feed a prisoner in a cjmmou jail, it will ba admitted that it is doing its hntnaue work at very small cost. Oae hundred and eighty dodars per capita is indeed much below the aivr age of the running expense of the asylums of the United States, bat the maaagem. nt of the Western North Car olina Insane Asylum will undertake to provide for its inmates for the next two years at this figure, and, moreover, will, if allowed to retain its savings, under take, by economical mintgement, thus adding to these savings, to construei during the next two years, apart from the main building, a congregate diniug r- om. which will enable them to con vert tue present dining rooms in the building into bed rooms, thus making room for sixty more patients The General Assembly will be asked for some legislation regarding the iusti tution which will involve no expanse, but which will increase its usefulness. aud this legislation it is supposed there will be no objection from auy quarter: (1.) It will bo asked that the name, "The Western North Carolina Insane Asylum," be changed to "The state Hospital at Morganton. The words 'insane asylum" have a terror for the people, and many patients feel that a stigma attacnes to them as inmates of an institution so called. "Hospital" is pleasanter to the ear and is of less terri ble significance to the mind. It is be lieved that this chaDge of name will have a good effect upon the patients; alrea ly there is rejoicing in the wards in pros pect of it. (2.) Certain rooms of the institution twelve on the male and an tquat num ber on the female wiug wrre construct ed as private sections where patients who might pay their own expanses and have their own attendants could be cared for The institution, however, having b?en built and b?iog supported by the money of all the people, it is not the policy of the directory to charge some patients and treat and care for others without charge. Hence these private section are unavailable for the general purposes of the institution and it is proposed to open them to inebriates and victims of the opium habit to the number of twelve of each sex. It is pro posed to charge the patients of these classes an amount for board equal to the expense of caring for and treating them, . and it is felt that in this way a good work may b; ci n in r.. claiming men an i wo ' U w't have b?- coroe ui.-quahtied f,r us fill .e.-s throuu the dlink ari'J opium Lbi - a- d i . : -: v; : without expense to th rt a-. out excluding ins':i- trs -n otherwise be admitted.

It is an honor to Notth Carolina and no North Carolinian can regard it otner wise than with priie. Dr. P. L. Murph. its able superintendent is eminently fitted in every particular for the important trust which he exercises with such wis dom aud conscientiousness; Drs. Ivey aud Taylor, the assistant physicians, are accomplished medical men, fond of their specialty aud ambitions in it; the posit ionsof steward aud matrcu could uot be more acceptably or more worthily filled than they are by Mr. F M. Scrogt:s and Mrs. C. A. Marsh, and all the subordi nates are chosen with reference to their fitness and take a just pride in their work. The institution istoatrolled by a board of eight directors, whose trav eling expenses to and from the meet ings are paid and who serve without compensation. As citiz;ns and tax payers they have j ist the same interest in the institution that other patri otic and enlightened citizens should have. They desire to see it reach the highest measure of usefulness aud at the same time have tee same interest, that ail other tax-payers have that it should be conducted with the rtmost economy consistent with good service. Neither upon this nor upon any other point of management do they fear to meet the Legislature, aud the most tbey have to ask of this honorable body is a rigid in vestigation of their management in the past, feeling confident that the closer the inquiry the more ready the General Assemoly will be to accept what they now have to say as to what is necessary to conduct the Western Insane Asylum in the future with the same measure of efficiency that has marked its operations in the past.

This reduces Senator Inga'.ls's lie pub'ican btrength to 50, when 83 are tiec-.s.s.iry to his electiou. With Mil these overwhelming odds con fronting them, the Ingalls men claim to b j confident of success. They say there is no reason why Alliance Repub licans should not support their candi date.

Travel Cut Oil. Mr. R. L. Donghton, of Allfghauy, who is in the city, ttlls us that the re cent snow in that county, is the I iggest and mo.-t ruinous to travel than in tm years. 1 w;u 1-1 inches deep at fir-t, and on Chr.-tmas day 0 inches more fell. The drift of snow was very gre;tt and in some place's it was over ten feet deep. Aboii all the mat's have been blocked np, and for ten days it was impossible or the d -tily mail to get through to Sparta, the eounty seat. All travel, ex cept hy horse-back, has been totally suspended, ami the inconvenience and delay to bo-iness bus b'-en very great. The snow is still on the ground. It driited :is it fell, anil the falling slo wa- so thtck that a traveller could not nee his way b- foro him. If the weather had been very cold, the stock would cer tainly have frcz-u. Alleghany is a gre it stockraising county, and if the weather h id tteen severely cold, tho loss would have been very heavy. Some of the oldest inhabitants say tht.t there never was such a drift of sao' seen in the county. COLLISION OX It. At A. A. L. II. It.

It uny surpri-. noaio to lx told that m 17'T, the Oeuoral A-.mtdy of North Can lnia, as a r In f to tho peoplo suffering from a so.ircity d motioy, passed an uot pKividmg for tho mstio of I'JiKt.OOO.OO in bills which were to t lep.il tender for debt, and were to If loaned to the (artoeis of the neveriil count ies (prt cini.ts) for a peruwl of 1 -, years, bl-i t r cent, mtetost. Tina in terest and one liftociith of the principal was payablo c.ich year. Tho couuiy trcastirt r whs uathon -d to lend nu uti incutntMTfd firms to ooo half their vi4l ue. If the interest wan not promptly paid, be had the right to distrain upon auy personal procrty f the debtor ho could find. If the interest watt not paid for threo conseciiivt yers, tho county treasurer wan thin to re-t-n'rr and take posscssiou and teli tho laud ou thirty days notice. It will still more surprise Homo to Ih told, that the above scheme, open to no many objections, and presenting ho many difliiiultios; in other words, apparently mi visionary, met with complete nicceM. It was so boiiefkiul to I lie people of North Carolina, that it was sub.datitiully adopted in lVntis) Ivania, Ma.-sai hnseits, Rhode Island find South Carolina; and the plan was recommended to the (iov ernor of Mas.ichus tts, to thf mother country for introduction in all the colonies. It would seem but Mmple justice, that, as tho National Ranking law denies to the farmer tho privilege of borrowing money from a na tional batik on bis farm as a security; and as Congress has gone still further aud legislated out of existence our Statu banks that formerly afforded this aid to tho farmer, some plautthould lo dt-vi d by which tho owners of land, a sp ch h of property of all the most hth! iu value, iudehtruetablo ia itn imtttn-, im movable; tbe very uiud sill of nllothtr properties, could make use of bis prop erty as a basis of credit. Such a scheme must look to govern ment aid, either National or statv, rather than to tho banks. It is not a proper function of a bank to lend money on land. Such 1 ;un of necessity must bo for a long time. Ranks c annot make lonns on such seen rity or for f-uch Ieiiths of tim. They must have their louns in such ha;e an to be rtadily convertible into money as necessity denvajids. Tho function of a bank is to act as tho custodian of mon eys; to provide a circulating medium (money); to facilitate exchange and to aid business by granting loans on short time ou commercial pajx-r; but not to lend money on loug time, or ou nal e-tate. IJeuce tho relief of that class, of our population who pOMeaa only land, mu.-t come direct from thft (iovernmt nt eithtr National or .State. As some deny tho power of tho (Kn eral (i .verumt nt to lend money to the people though it is done by -very Cou-grt-ns that grants a nub-sidy to Meam .ship line or a Ixunty to a sugar planter there can le no such objection to the States doitg such a thing, provided its owr: constitution does not prohibit this. If such r tho cae, it in a inVUr ertirely with the people of the State whether they will uot change their State Constitution to enable them to do it. It will, I thick, to couwdl that th values cf our farming binds are below par. 1 can think of no plan that will tend more to bring tht m up to their normal value, than Hottiesncb ccheme as is outlined above; and is it not time, that a iecieH of property, which for twenty eiwht years ban lieu discredited in the eyes of th commercial world by the direct act of t be (inner! (iovernment, fhould be rehabilitated by some Governmental action either Na tional or State? I. for one, think it is. Wm. II. H. IiL'iu.wYit. Is The Wile or the Judge Appointed T (New York World.)
