We can see no reason why a statute should not be passed compelling children within the scnoot age 10 aiienu vne puuiic schools. We pass laws prohib iting the sale of liquor to minors, prohibiting the carrying of con cealed weapons, preventing tresspasses on land, protecting fish in the streams and birds in the fields from the hook and gun of the hunter. A North Caro linian cannot throw a rock at a nrowline doz or pummel the Bides 01 a roguisn cow wim a brick bat without subjecting himself to a criminal indictment. The citizen is hedged about on all sides by statutes saying what he shall and shall not do. More than ten thousand of our citizens have been tried for va rious offenses durim? the last eighteen months, involving the tax-payers m enormous uius 01 cost. Crime directly costs North Carolina nearly as much as its public schools, and indirectly it costs many times as much as we are wont to say that ignorance and crime go hand in hand, the one being the natural sequence of the other. While we are creating so many statutory of- lenses wuu a view u avevmjj the neoDle in the riirht. why not pass a law to make the child.-en . ., . . .t.j o to schools mat are iurnisnea v the State, and thus strike a blow straight at tho fountain head of crime? If it is right for the State to furnish schools it is right that the children should be made to attend them. Statis tics show that a large percent age of those within the school age do not attend the public schools nor any other schools, and grow up in ignorance, a burden and a menace to the State. They will not attend school without the coercive power of the Stato is exerted. We believe that the suggestions of the county superintendents should be acted upon by the Legislature.

DRASTIC ENOUGH. Senator Quay's Federal Hayouet . ' Election Bill. The elect iQsbill introduced by Senator aav is entitled "An act to prevent force and fraud in Federal elections and insure the lawful csnd peaceful con duct thereof." : The bill differs in many respects from the bill on the Senate calendar. The first section directs the United States District or Circuit Judge, on petition of ten or more cm zens of auv citv or count v in his judicial district, to appoint three qualified voters a Board of Supervisors, not more than two to be of; one party. This board is to be empowered to de mand from the register a copy of his books, and after a posted notice they are at the polling place to purge the books of per sons not qualified to vote. Uther sections of the bill re quire the register in advance of election to register such persons only as the Board of Supervisors decides to be qualified to vote for the JKepreBentative in Con gress. Provision is hiso made in event of the register's failure for the board to conduct the re gistration and to deliver the books to the judges of election. During the election supervisors are to see that the poll-books are rightly kept and the ballots prop erly received and that unautho rized persons are not admitted to the polling place. They are also to examine suspected bal lots, yerify the count and can vass and superyise the make-up of the returns, delivering one copy to the chief supervisor of the judicial district and the other to the clerk of the Board of Supervisors : of the city or county appointed by the State. l hey are also to attend the roceedings of the Board of ?ity or County , Canvassers, su pervise tbe canvass, make up the returns and see that the lat ter are delivered, one copy to the Secretary of the Common-1 wealth and the other to the Clerk of the United States Court. Authority is conferred upon the Board of Supervisors to arrest and commit for 24 hours persons disturbing the peace at the polls or attempting to in fluence voters. The United States Circuit Judges are author ized to appoint for each judicial district a chief supervisor and register of elections, at a salary of $(HX) per anuam, who is to receive and preserve the returns required to be made to the court. The above described provi sions replace fourteen sections of the original bill The re mainder of tho bill is made up of all after section 13, of the committee bill, to which is ad ded the following section: -j- "When it shall appear to the satisfaction of the President of the United States that (in any lo cality) the provisions of this law cannot otherwise bo executed, it shall be his duty and he is hereby empowered to suspend there the writ of habeas corpus, and to employ the armed forces of tho United States, naval and military, for its enforcement. and for the protection of the officers, whose duties are here in provided for." . a)li 1 A Weaknemi or the Hoi on s.

Mr. Line ack is anxious to make a re cord, and begins this early where other reformers left off. We don't think there is a State in the Union, except Perhaps. some of those brand new ones recently turned out of the Con' grensional State factory, where one or more reformers have not from time to time taken a whack at the free pass, and still the way the free pass flounsheth Burpagscth all understanding.

Lenoir Topic: Last Wednes day week constable and deputy Sheriff Berry, of Lovelady town ship, arrested Enoch Hamby, of Wilkes, on a warrant from the latter county charging him with bigamy. He had lived separate from his wife in Wilkes for six or seven years and had lately been lying around in the neigh borhood of James Walker, about five miles from his wife's house. About the 15th of December, while Walker was in Charlotte, Hamby persuaded Walker's 15 year old daughter to go to Wilkesboro with him, where they were married. They then fled to this county, but Walker followed llamby up with a warrant. Fayclteville Observer: Fri day evening a country dance took place near Roseboro, a sta tion on the Cape Fear Yad kin Valley Railway between this city and Wilmington, and many young folks of the neigh Itorhood were attracted to the frolic. Among those present were David Owen, of Roseboro, and a young man named Olin Johnson, who became engaged in an altercation during the evening from what particular cause was not definitely ascer tained. The quarrel soon cul minated in blows, and during the fight Owen was repeatedly stabbed in the back, sides and head, two or three of the wounds being very serious. In the ex citement of tho moment none of tho bystanders attempted to ar rest Johnson, and he made his escape, Louisburg Times: Robbie, the 1 4 year old son of Dr. K, K King. accidentally shot himself in the foot while out hunting on last Saturday.

Benjamin II. Currier, of Bos ton, 04 years of age, adminis tered the obligation oath to the directors of the Massachusetts National Bank on Tuesday.
