The Watauga Democrat 1humlyjuyl5, 1807. The Dingley tariff bill has at last passed the Senate by 10 mejority. the bill now goes to Conference with House Committee. Let all the people make ready for the wave of prosperity to .shower down, for they say it is coming in great torrents after the 15th: High tarift and high priced goods and the gn!d standard will bring great blessings of course. Ev eiy thing will be lovely. The only question is will we poor Jown-trodden oppressed erea tures, who have been reduced to almost servitude, under free trade Democracy, be able to stand the big flush that n promised us? We advise all our people of all conditions whether they be Democrats, llepublicnns, Pops., Scala wags, Mugwumps, Hotten tots, or Philistines to have their hi uses in order lor the wave, for i; may" come in such a time as you are nut looking tor it, make ready to receive it and try to contain yourselves. The Senate and big Tom Reed will now id journ and go home and fee" that the country is safe, that the tariff has passed both in the Senate and Tom Heed al to. Bristow the Fourth Assist ant post-master general has alreadj' cut off the heads of 8,000 fourth class post mas ters. These little post-masters are falling daily in North Carolina as well as in all oth er States. We expected to fee this and we have do dis position to grumble, for such is politics. When W. J. Bry an comes in, in 1900 you vill see the same thing repeated. Bristow has beat the record so far for the time he has been in office even the record of Adlai Stevenson has been eclipsed when he was under the first Cleveland adminis tration. Some of our Republican es teemed friends say that the Democrat lied about the Jaw in regard to the delin quent tax paying being sub ject to indictment fine and imprisonment, they declare there is no such a law. Well we would be glad that thtjre were no such, but the fact re mains that the last and tho lamented Legislautredid put such a law on the statute books. We will not say how the courts will hold on this "outrage. If the law is tained by the rourts it be a great hardship on people. It is a shame. 8UH- will the The papers say that France will join the United States in the free coinage of silver and that England will open the mints for coinage in India, but whn, is the inquiry? If England would come boldly to the front there could no doubt be agreement and the country would be relieved on this financial question, and we would hale the news with ftreat rejoioiDg as would the entire world almost.

In attempting to write of the seenes ami incidents of the late Confe fern te Reunion, so many press themselves upon the memory and de mand recognition that one well nigh despairs cf the task. Perhaps one incident of mre interest to North Caro linians an incident calculat ed to make one more proud of the title "North Carolin ian," took plaee on the 2nd day of the reunion, upon the entrance of the North Caro lina contigent into the pavil lion or Saw I ones tabernacle in which building all the busi ness meetings of the reunion were held. Having been detained at State headquarters until the reunion was proceeding on business, the North Caroli na delegation entered the building singing in strong voice, "The old North State." As the column had to march ha'f around the building be fore reaching the aisle lead ing to the seats reserved for the State, it is needless to say that business was sus pended, the whole house ris ing and cheering lustily. Af ter the seating ol the delega tion. (len. (Jordon, who was upon the stage and whose speech had been interrupted, said: Our proceedings have been interrupted by North Carolina. Then after a pause of a m iment, he exclaimed in the most impressive and em phatic tone:, Narth Carolina has a right to interrupt the proceedings of this or nny other body ol men. This eulogy to North Carolina was received with the wildest demonstration, some one calling for three cheers forth" old North State which was given with such vim and vig or. that it developed into three times three with a gen uine "Rebel Yell." Another Incident that illus trates, t j some extent, the ardor and enthusiasm ol the old soldiers, took place when General Gordon in his re marks spoke of his recogni tion as Commander in Chief of the United Confederate Veterans. Instantly the cry of No I No I No!.; and this grew and augmented in vol ume and intensity until the whole assembly was stand ing gesticulating waymg ard shouting No! No!, which continued for minutes, old veter ans climbing upon seats and howling themselves hoarse, while tears and sweat, rained down their fur rowed cheeks, such scenes of Cod-liver Oil with Hpophos phites, can be taken as easily in summer as in winter. Unlike the plain oil it is palatable, and the hypophosphites that are in it aid in digestion And at the same time tone vp the system. For sickly, delicate children, and for those whose lungs are affected, it is a mistake to leave it off in the summer months. The dose may be reduced if necessary. Iff . we recommena tne small size especially for summer use, and for children, where a smaller dose is re quired. It should be kept in a cool place after it is once opened. .

The band finally, by persistent efforts, succeed-, ed in restoring order, but the General did not again hint at resignation, when be con cluded he was put in nomin ation by Gen. Joe Wheeler and unanimously re-elected. One ot the most beautiful and pleasing features of the Reunion was the formation of t he Confederate flag, by 13 young ladies on horse-back riding in single file at the head of the column. The first wore a blue dress, on the skirt of which were .13 white stars. Then came four dressed in red, four in white and again four .in red. The hordes were chosen to cor respond with the dress col ors. II. A. D. Brookside, N. C. School TV x Again. Editor Democrat. ' Much has been said, is now being said, and will be said about the present school law. Some say that thepeo pie ought to put their feel upon the law, or, in other words, ignore it altogether. Of coarse such a thing could not be carried out. The Legislature is the supreme power in this State, and we must be subject to the pow ers that be. Whether it was wise to make the change or not, ihis scribe is not ready to say, but the change has really ueen 'made, and the law must be enforced. Now, what is the wise plan? Shall we yote the extra tax? Some say No because it will take the money to build new school houses. If the new hous es must be builr, and the ex tra tax is not voted, then the present money will be used- therefore there will be no schools this year. It is ikely, too, that but few house will be changed. Many of our best school men think that some schools may have 45 students, while oth ers, So, that in each town ship the entire student body divided by the number of schools must not give a quo tient greater than G5. If this be the meaning of the law, then but few changes will be made, for Prof. Francum says that the schools of the county will average G;. Another complaint is. that we can t nay wnat tax we . have. The people have al ways paw their taxes and ould pay a little more. Rigid a . economy should be practiced in all public matters, but no retrenchment should be made educationally. Suppose a man pais tax on. SI. 000 worth of property and one poll, his tax would be 1.25 more. Suppose he had 3, 4, or 5 childien to educate, the school would be from 2 to 4 months longer, any way af ter the first year, then the school would be worth from six to fifteen dollars to him Would thisbepooreconomy? nesines that, the school tax stays in the county and the county would not have a dollar less. If Katanga coun ty does not yote a dollar ax, she will help pay the $50,000 just the same. It is true this money has been bor rowed by the Stale to supple inent the tax, but some day rnis mouey must be paio, and Watauga must help to do it. 1 his money will all go out of theconnty. Would this he economy? Do uwav with the Mecklenburg road law, cut down the taxes in every way-except for school Let us educate the bright boys nnd girls, and we will pay Itss tax for the l'eniten tiiry, for the trial of mur derers, and thieves.
