laws of the District f Columbia be so
amended as to prevent such, discriminations.-'

The Senate went to the calendar and
resumed the consideration of the bill to
divide the Sioux: reservation in Dakota
into Separate reservations and to secure
the relinquishment of the Indian title to
the same, s-- Alter debate the bill was
displaced by the bill providing for
the admission of Dakota. Mr. Butler 'a
substitute for the committee's bill was
read.;! It is an enabling act, providing
for admission, of the Territory of Dakota
as a whole as a State of the Union when
an election shall have been held under
this act. and a constitution republican in
form shall have been adopted by the
people of such Territory. The substi
tute also prescribes in detail the condi
tions ltd be observed by the proposed
State as to public lands, schools, &c.
Mr. Butler took the floor in support oft
his substitute lie conceded the right
ot the; people of the lerntory to apply
for admission as a State when it bad
complied with the necessary conditions,

any ihherant fright to organize. Con

exercise of that power by any other body
would be a bold usurpation. M

IIaleiou, Jan. 27, 18b6.
I read in your paper a few days aco
the procsodings of the board of agricnl
ture on the industrial school matter, in
which it was stated that Dr. Battle aud
the Governor opposed it, aud that it wx
indefinitely postponed.
: I subsecjueutly read in your paper a
card from Dr. Battle, which he said the
Governor approved,, accompanied by the
circumstances.
To the construction put on the statute
by the board as set forth in its -resolution,
and in Dr. Battle's card, I ask
public attention.
The constitution, article 9, Bection
14 provides that the general assembly
shall establifh and maintain a depart
ment ot agriculture, of mechanics; of
mining and of normal instruction.
Iu obedience to that the general
as-
scihbly did creato and establish the ag-
"cultural department. Code, section
2,181. -
IQ 1884-85 the general assembly en-
acted that the- agricultural department
shall "establish and maintain an indus
trial school."
In obedience to that statute the agri
cultural department advertised that it
was ready 'to do that thine, and gave
special notice to the principal cities and
towns to offer ; sites and other induce
ments.
The statute met with Universal favor.
It was ordered by the constitution; it
was enacted by the general assembly; it
was approved by the agricultural de
partment aud by every member of the
board, not coolly, but warmly, says Dr.
Battle's card; it was advocated by the
public press; it was discussed in town
meetings by the most intelligent citizens
and bids were made by several towns
for its location, and doubtless many
other bids would have been made but
for the general sentiment that it ought
to be at Kaleigh; in the Raleigh meet
ing several or ' the most prominent men
in the State were present and took part
in the discussion, among them the State
superintendent of public instruction.
several who were connected with the
agricultural department and members of
the board; and others accustomed to
construe statutes and other laws; there
was much interest felt all over the State
and the "common opinion," to use Dr
Battle's words, was that the school
would be'esUblished at the place offer
ing "the greatest inducement, in tne
words of the statute.
This brougbt the matter before the
board of agriculture; and when every
body was anxious to learn where it
would be located, the board resolves
that under the present circumstances it
cannot be located or established any
where. So it turns out thai the general
assembly, under the direction of the
constitution, has passed an act to estab-
lish a great public benefit which every
body wants, and which, the "common
opinion" is, ought to! be and can.be es
tablished, and yet Wiiich cannot be es
tablished at all!' It follows that the
general assembly was either not wise or
its statute is misconstrued.
I concede .'that there are matters
about which the "Common opinion" is
of little worthj and we have to rely on
scholastic opinion; but in a matter like
the present, where the
eral opinion H deliberate, it is entitled
vvuiiuvu vi Kcu-
to very great respect. ' And he is ven
turesome who declares it to be " a great
mistake V as Dr! Battle's card does.
The - substance of Dr. Battle's con
struction of the school statute is, that
unless some town will establish the
school, or offer property or -money suffi
cient to establish and start it. the board
has no power to locate it anywhere.
And that the amount offered must ap
proximate $83,333 33, whereas no offer
If as been made of more than some tenth
part of that sum. That it was .not the
purpose of the State to establish, build
or start the school, Uut that the town
must do that, and then the State will
maintain it. ; ',;
Now, before going into a critical
or scholastic construction of the statute,
let us inquire into the probability as to
whether the general assembly would re
quire a town to establish a great insti
tution, not for the town, but for the
State, in which the' town' would have no
advantage over other portions of the
State except small doubtful advantages
Of trade ? i Has it ever required the like
regard to its 0 in8ti
tll,io;lftv What town has ever been
benefited to the amount of $83,000 by
the location of! a JState : institution ?
Chapel Hill has had the. University for
a century, with hundreds Df wealthy
Students and doctors, and yet 1 do not
know whether the whole town would
sell for $83,333.33 at auction !
The doctor s card says that every
method has been used by the board to
get the towns to bid, and yet no one of
them has- bid more than one-tenth of
the necessary amount. What they have
hot done they never will do. . And yet
imtil they do, what they never will do,
the school cannot be located at all. Is
I hot that an unfortunate construction of
It I a beneficent statute ? Ia not the "corn-
al mon opinion better ? Would the gen
I Oral assemblv have done so vain a thing
as to pass a statute which everybody
wants and which, nobody can execute?
That I may not be supposed to do in-
may not be supposed to do in
juauw w vv4 uu kv w")
I refer to its resolution and to Dr. Bat-
tie's card and quote from them. . t
: Vr. isattle sar "It is cle
is clear in my
opinion that the general assembly makes
in substance the following proposition j
to the towns and cities of the State: You
give money or property sufficient to es- j
tablish the school, and I will add to iti
an endowment of 3,333;33, yielding J
$5,000 a year for its maintenance and
more complete estaoiisnment, ana will
give you an equal control in the man
agement." . '
Again he says: "I understand the act
to mean that if any town shall offer land,
buildings, machinery or other materials,
or money, sufficient to start such an in
dustrial school as above described, tbo
board must locate it at such! place, i If
no such offer is made, the board cannot
locate it anywhere."
Again, the school is to be no small
affair or a mere beginning; but he says:
"It must be broad enough to offer to
teach wood work, mining, metallurgy
aud practical agriculture.

; t .-!
One of "the great mistakes" which
Dr. Battle makes is in supposing that
the State or board appropriates nothing I

the town is to do that and that what
the board appropriates is tfr the mainte
nance of the school, and that even thai
appropriation is limited to $5,000. Now

the fourth section over again you will

without limit, even if it be $40,000,: to.
the establishment and maidtenance 1 of

Battle get his idea that the board is limii
ted to $5,000; and that even that is to be
applied to the "maintenance and morel
complete establishment after the town
has established' it or started I it," as he
says:
T . i . ' . , " : I
a suppose ne gets nis iaea iromi
me proviso w tne saia tn section,
"that not more than $5,000 shall be Sn-
plied to the establishment of the school

it will be seen; therefore, that the
board is expressly directed ; by! the stat
ute to apply all the funds it can spare,
not for the maintenance but for the es
tablishment and maintenance of the
school. But the general : assembly did
not mean that there should be an im
mense establishment j at the beginning.
but that the beginning should be on a
moderate scale, and that it should grow
and grow as the other State institutions
grow
If,, therefore, the board ' had, accepted I

come We would in a few years have an

expectation and public necessity.
The: statute says that the town shall
make an offer adequate in the judgment
of the board "for the establishment ot

tion of that is "for the establishment of,

in view, lie Knows that his construe
tion defeats the statute', for he says that
after calling; on all the towns only pome
tenth of what would be ; enough hoi-
been offered. And in ! order tb
make . his construction plauibb
he changes the language of the stttatc.
The language of the statute is "ibr the

no difference why change it?; If there is
a difference why change itf . lhe statute
may very well be read and ought to- be
read, for the establishment of the school
by the board; but his language cannot
be so read. : ! -i
But why did the board : set aside $51
000, to lie idle indefinitely? Its reso
lution says that it cannot be used unless
some town will -offer enough !to establish
the school and that that offer must ap
proximate $83,333.33, which it wtill
knew not town will ever do. I Is not this
a misappropriation of the publio; money
for which there is no warrant in this pr
any other statute? Set aside $5,0001
Set it aside for what?- Set it aside until
some town shall offer some K83, 333. 33.1

The most impressive figure that I saw
