It is unfortunate for the state that the hostility has been so strongly and widely da veloped. The University - is really the cmefest ornament and glory or North Carolina. It is a great thing for the people who love education and would serve North Carolina forging biavely to the front for higher and vti'l higher education that they have so well equ pped and progres sive a school as that one located at Chapel Hill and to which 1, 800.000 people vote a beggarly, a miserly 120,000. It ought to be 150,000 to that the University might be pressed to the front without di lay as the equal in all respects of Frincetou and the Uuivernity of Virginia or of a ny other foremost institution of learning in the South. It is pcrt8i La wis to giv so little. Virginia sets a more liberal, t obiter example.

Senator Morgan made a regular war speech on his very peaceable lesolutiou, which was adopted by the senate, calling on the president for all the Cuban information in his possession, that in his judgment may properly be given, but it was made to empty seata and aroused nothing even approaching enthusiasm. Instead of preparing for war, the average Senator and Representative is preparing to enjoy his Christmas. Whatever may be done when congress reassembles, everybody ciu go ahead with their Christ mas preparations with the cer tainty that their enjoyment will not be broken in upou by the harsh tovcin of war; but no such guii.autee can be given against indigestion. ! EXPOBK THE BIOT. Senator Allan's resolution for the investigation of the use of money in tbi- late presidential campaign ha caused more com motion than appeai a on the surface. There are a ereat many people who would dislike very much to tee such an in vestigation wade, tor one or another reasonbut it is need less to say tat they are dot among the supporters of the recerf presidential aspirations of Mr Bryan. Mr Allen says he intends to push Lis resolution and nearly all of the silver dem octeti? senators and CX of the populists bare indicated their intension to support it. Senator Allen rays of the rc&sution: "I framed tie resolution so as to include all parties, and I do not refuse to pass it. The matter is attracting attention all over the country, and certainly if there i a blot on the election it should be exposed and wiped out, or at least, a wholesome warning given that the offense is not to be repeated."

Writing to the Wilmington j Messenger in reference to the : ' re solutions passed by the Methodist conference Rev. N. M. Jurney; at church in this city says: "The intent and spirit of these j resolutions, are not antagonistic to the University. In full juniice to the conference you should publish me resolutions entire. 1 never heard a mau preacher or layman say one word against aid to the University.' I make bo'd "" the statomeut, not ton who voted for the resolutions but would, - if in the legislature, vote for an in crease appropriation, to aid and help the University. 'All thought ful men know our danger lies chiefly iu ignorance, and when the chuich spoke out in behalf of the 000,000 boys and girls who can neither read nor write in the bounds of our fctate then T claim it is unjust for the church to- be charged with a motive to cripple the University, rather than to aid the poor and ignorant children of the state. If any man uses voice or pen to influence the legislature to de crease the aid the State gives to Chapel Hill, I wish to say here thathedoesso without the advice, consent or wish of the North Carolina conference." NOT HOT-HEADED FIRE EATERS. The Middle South a journal published at Somervilie, Tenn., says: ' "The old idea prevalent in tbe North tbat the Southern neocle are hot-headed fire eaters, ex tremists etc.; is not nor never was true. The Southern climate is not tropical, but temperate the climate which produces the best in form, features and char rcter wherever it prevails ii oughout tbe world. In keep ing with the happy medium of climate -the Southern people, especially those of the Middle South are more or less conserv ative, the conservative spirit prevailing. They are never swept away by speculative, sentimental and demagogic is sues td are almost universally open to argument. In a word they are toleran of opposition within the limit of self-preser vation." ITILti ESTABLISH FARMS. The Charlotte Observer .rays: The statement that the Seaboard Air Line will establish a model farm every ten miles along its en tire system, that intending se'.tiors may tee, what can be done in (arming on its line, deserves to be hailed with satisfaction. The idea is one which has been adopt ed by a number of the progressive railroad systems of the country, presumably with the expected re- ulU. This movement is another forward step tor the Seaboard, which is under an aggressive aud up-to-date management and is making itself well known is the business world. Crime on the Inerene. Crime is increasing. Look at twelve mirderers in one fine county either just tried or await- log trial. Look at the great county of Mecklenburg. There are nearly 400 cases to be tried befcre Judge O.-P. Meares of tbe Criminal court. It Is the largest ci imina! docket the old county haseverhad. There are more than 10J prisoners in tbe jail and no place for others. And yet Judge Russell Is re ported as aiming to retire Judge Meares who has done a great work for the State, and to do way with his court. He ought think long and look at his bearings closely before he re commends disastrous changes, Wilmington Messenger.

The northeast gale of last night and today is prolaby the mopt yiolent since the great gale of April 8,1887, when seven vessels were strangled here. Fortunately last night there was but a small fleet harbored here, but seven of these are now strewuj along the shore at the head of the harbor. The New England Associated Press boat, which has collected marine naws for that organiza tion in this harbor during the past 16 years, broke from her moorings and drove against tie steamboat wharf, whereshe went to pieces. The United States revenue boat, which is doing service in this harbor, was also driven ashore. Several other small craft were stranded last night.

Tbe libel suit of Father McDonald, tbe silenced priest, against the Brook lyn Eagle for $50,000, was con cluded today, the jury rendering a verdict for the plaintiff of 6 cents. The libel consisted of charges contained in an article pnblished in the. Eage, accusing the clergyman of unprieslly cou- duct while sojourning in Wash ington in a clerical ca acity. It looks like the only way to get rid of that irrepressible red beaded statesman .' rn Oeor gia, Hon. Thomas E. " atscn, is to declare him elects' to the position for which he runs ret gardle8s of the votes or wishes of the people. Judge Black, democrat, defeated Watson at the regular congressional elec tion in the 10th district of Geor gia, by several thousand votes. Watson declared it was not fair, and to gratify him. his distin guished adversary ran the race over again at a special election. with the same result.
