AX APPEAL BY A REPUBLICAN.
Cor. of the Ashe?ille Citizen.
Pardon. Pardon.
I cannot see why it is that ex-President
Davis of the Confederate States is
not pardoned. It is true he was the
leader of the Rebellion and did all he
could to establish a Southern Confeder

advocated, and Ir say give freedom to (

Thir is really very kind and timely
narrfnn ? Not much 1 It would not be
in keeping with nis character to want it.
Those who love nun don t care a snap
for it but rather prefer that he finish
his days just as he is. This fair mind
ed republican is honest enough to admit
that Mr. Pavis "has always been a true
man in any cause he advocated." True
enough! and he stands to-day a monu
ment of the hatred of the north to
the south, and his continued disfran
chisement is the brief, but effective in
scription which tells the tale.
Another Bear Killed.
A correspondent of the Lenoir Topic
writes:
It is said that A; D. Cowles, team
ster of Gap Creek, Ashe county, while
returning from Marion, Va., saw a
bear on Iron Mountain, which he sent
the dogs after. They brought him to
bay, and as the hamster went to the
aid of the dogs, the bear came to meet
him,-, who, nothing daunted attacked
his bearship with the pole of the axe
and killed him. He netted 300
pounds.
Bears have a fascination which the
reporter cannqt resist. The Topic is
eaaferly sought among our exchanges
awl scanned for the purpose of finding
a record of the "when, where and who"
of the last killing. Having kept a si
lent watch in the woods of those lofty
heights, and committed the "unpar
donable" by smoking a "stand," yet
the infatuating interest does not fag.
Just th:nk of being equipped like a
"dude hunter" with high leggins, cor
deroy pants, helmet hat, leather belt
bristling with loaded shells, a full
choked, pistol grip, rebounding ham-
1 mer, extension rib, double brich loading
gun and not a "bar" to be found; while
a teamster with the pole of an axe can
walk right into a nest of "bars1' and
slay to his hearts content. But the
blessings of life are pretty evenly dis
tributed after all. A man must not
expect to have the earth and a "bar"
thrown in.
A Wrong Use of the Bible.
-all court houses in New York,
In
very dirty copies of the Bible are used
in a way which, the editor of the Her
ald of Health thinks, and which al
most every one will concur, is danger
ous to health. When jurors or wit
nesses are sworn, they are expected to
take the Bible in one hand, and after
repeating the Oath, to kiss the book
with their lips Clean and unclean
people do this indiscriminately, and it
does jiot take long to make the cover,
and even the leaves, of this book very
foul. Such a use of it, it seems to us,
is unwarrantable.
TTie Bible says: "Swear not at all;
neither by the heaven, for that is the
throne of God; nor by the earth, for
it is the footstool of his feet; nor by
Jerusalem, for it is the city of the
great King. Neither shalt thou swear
by thy head, for thou canst not make
one haa white or blacks But let your
speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; and
whatsoever is more than these cometh
of the evil one.
Cleanly people who do not wish to
kiss a book sodden with grease and
foul with filth, are allowed to affrm,
which is certainly preferable. Others
practice a harmless Sort of evasion, by
holding the book in away that they
can kiss their thumbs without being
ooserveu by the oflicer of the court,
who, by the way, is rarely very watch
ful, and is satisfied if one eroes throuirh
with the form rather than the spirit of
me oatn. Scientific American.
lhere is much truth in this. The
writer has observed with what light
and airy kiss the Holy Book has been
greeted in the courthouse. Some change
should be made in this custom. Why.
not require a mau to hold up his right
hand and affirm. It would be just as
eueeuve ami juss as impressive
the present objectionable form.

A Dissection of the Blair BilL
Hot a Leg to Stand on.
BY GEORGE TICKNOR CURTIS.
N. Y. Star, Dem.
To the Editor of t)w StarSir:
There have been strange constitutional
doctrines promulgated before how, but
the strangest and the drollest that I
have ever met with isSthat enunciated
in Senator Blair's report, by which he
justifies his education bill, now pend
ing in the Senate. Mr. Blair claims
that since this bill passed the Senate in
A.pnl, 1884, the measure has been gen
erally and thoroughly discussedthrough-
oiit the whole country, and that prob
ably public sentiment is more largely
m favor of mis bill than was ever
known to be flhe-'case with any other
measure of like importance in the his
tory of American legislation. If this
is true, public sentiment is in favor of a
monstrous departure from the Consti
tution; and to the extent to which it
is true that public sentiment favors
this bill, there is a widespread igno
rance of the nature of the Federal
Government and its powers.
Mr: Blair lays down the following
as his leading proposition:
That the General Government pos
sesses the power, and has imposed upon
it the duty of educating the people of
the United States, whenever, for any
cause, those people are deficient in that
degree of education which is essential
to the discharge of their duties as citi
zens of the United States or of the
several States wherein they chance to
reside.
An analysis of thi9 extraordinary
proposition will show that it is an ut
ter fallacy. Passing over, for the pres
ent, the assertion that the General
Government possesses the power and
has imposed upon it the duty of educa
ting the people of the United States,
letus inquire, first, what is the educa
tion which the General Government is
to undertake? second, what is the de-
grei of deficiency in that education
which is to call the Federal power in
to exerts j and make active the per
formance of the r eueral duty r thirdly,
what relation exists between "any
cause jor tne aenciency ana tne pow
er of duty of supplying that deficiency
by grants from the h ederal I reasury ?
First What is the education that is
to be furnished? The bill answers this
question in its fifth section. The Fed
eral money is to be applied to include
instruction in reading, writing and
speaking the English language, arith-
. l I l il TT
luetic, geograpny, nistory ui ine uni
ted States and such other branches of
useful knowledge as may be taught
under local laws. Deficiency in school
education of: this kind is the "igno
rance" which Mr. Blair assumes ren
ders individuals unfit to discharge their
duties as citizens of the United States
or of the States where they happen to
reside. One gratul assumption here is
that people who cannot read and write,
who nave never studied geography or
learned arithmetic or history of the
United States, cannot be good citizens,
because they must lack the intelligence
necessary to enable them to be intern-
gent voters. Jjivery aay s experience
disproves this assumption. HiVery com
munity in this conn try has many citi
zens who are entirely illiterate, and
who are just as intelligent voters as
men who have had all the instruction
that the common schools can afford.
It is a very great - mistake to suppose
that an individual is uneducated be
cause he has not attended school. The
discipline of life is an education; the
listening to the public discourse is an
education; the earning of ones daily
bread is an education; suffering is an
education; success i an education. A
thousand things make up education
and promote mental activity of which
reading, writing ana ant n me tic iorm
no part. The ignorance that consists
in illiteracy is ignorance of that which
is not only not essenriai w me aiscnarge
of tlie duties of citizenship, but which
does not- necessarily increase the power
to understand those duties. Who does
not know multitudes or men who can
not read or write, and who are just as
good jurors as men who can, other
things being equal? The same thing is
true in regard to the exercise of the
elective . f rancise. A man who never
1 eared tofread or write may, vote just as
intelligently as the greatest scholar,
provided the circumstances of bis life
have given him the intelligence which
comes of observation, experience, know-
ledge of men, habits of thinking, and
1 . I. 1
Pwer ?? juagmg or puDiic measures
aDd public men. A man who cannot
I II A ' 1 a
woo were completely unut w oe
intrusted with the ballot, not because
they could not read and write, but be
cause they had never had the broader
education which comes to every free
man from the life of a freeman, wheth
er he can or cannot read and write.
In the next place, what
is the degree of deficiency in education
which is to call the Federal power to
educate into exercise ? The proposition
on which Mr. Blair bases nis whole
argument includes deficiency in that
"degree of education which is essential
to the discharge of their duties as either
citizens of the United States or of the
several States." The report and the bill
answers this question. The requisite
degree of education is simply that
which is to be obtained in the common
schools. Of the want of this Congress
is to be the judge, as it is also to be
the judge of it as an essential and in
dispensable requisite, whatever may be
the cause which has produced
or which perpetuates the illitera
cy. The State, or the parent, may
not agree with Congress about what
is essential to make an intelligent voter,
but is no matter. It is the duty of the
General Government to decide all
that.
Finally, the relation between the
"cause" for illiteracy, "any cause," and
the power and duty of the General
Government to step in and cure the
illiteracy, is a relation which brings in
to view rhe most novel interpretation of
the Constitution that has ever been
broached. Mr. Blair is so obliging as
to admit that he must find in the Con
stitution some tear rant for the exercise
of this power and some foundation for
the duty. Accordingly he proceeds to
construct his theory as follows:
The taxing clause of the Constitution
authorizes Congress to lay taxes "to
provide for the general welfare of the
United States.'T Conceding that "the
United States" means the government
of the United States, the inherent
right of defending itself against dan
gers and mischiefs which threaten its
destruction clothes that government
with a power, and makes it its duty, to
take any measures that will presere its
existence by ;ericountering and remov
ing the causes of danger to itself. 11
literasy in its citizens of the several
States, is one of the greatest causes of
danger to the continued existence of
the government. The right of self-
defense is the source of a power Jto edu
cate the people by applications of fed
eral money raised by Federal taxation
TVia iimmint uf' fnrrs. ruiA hold tiXMttm n
J tion in this kind of reasoning is some-
I Mimii Ii H , ft w i i j ow i tr t h n f oi r i
tion into the hands of the federal Gov
eminent of every description of govern
mental powr. A state neglects, or is
unable, to give all its children the kind
and degree of education which Con
gress determines to be essential to make
them good citizens, and the want of
which makes them dangerous to the
existence of the General Government.
Congress may therefore provide for
their education. A btate neglects or
is unable to secure employment for a.ll
its people; pauperism is the conse
quence; pauperism is aangerous w me
welfare of Uie General Crovernment-A
Congress may therefore step in and
and prevent pauperism. A State neg
lects, or is unable to discharge any du
ty which is ordinarily to be expected of
a government toward its citizens; dis
content, vagrancy, crime, are the con-
sequence; all tne.se tnings make nan
citizens, and bad citizens are dangerous
to the perpetuity of the general gov
ernment; therefore the general govern-
Lment may step in and remove the cause
of the discontent, vagrancy .and enme.
A State neglects, or is unable, to re-
press intemperance; naoits or intem
perance render citizens unht for the
discharge of their public duties; this
is dangerous to the well being of the
General Government; Congress may
therefore make laws to prevent intem
perance, and may determine what men
shall eat and drink, no matter what
may be the reason why the State does
not do what Congress decides it ought
to do.

try stands the only true interpretation

Washington, Feb. 17.
A Strange Kan Found Dead in the
Catawba River.
Sunday afternoon last Messrs. J. W.
Clark and T. B. Lemly, of Failstown
township, came to Statesville and re
ported to Coroner Anderson that the
body of a strange man had been found
in the Catawba river, on the margin of
Mr. A. P. Clark's island, about ten
miles south of town, and a mile below
the Statesville and Catawba toll bridge,
and Monday morning Mr. Anderson
went out to hold an inquest. The
island is of considerable size and a tree
on its eastern edge had fallen into the
stream. The man's right arm had
caught around a limb of this tree. The
body was found out of the water above
the waist, and lay on an inclined plane,
the head lying forward and the chin
resting on the breast. It was the body
of a white man, 35 or 40 years old,
about 5 feet 10 in height and weigh
ing about 180 pounds. The coroners
jury found that the deceased "had
come to his death by drowning, and
we find no marks of violence on his
person.' No one knows the man, and
the generally accepted theory is that
he was a tramp who had divested him
self of a part of his clothing and bad
undertaken to wade the river. Mr. A.
P. Clark says the water has not been
high enough since the 1st of January
to have lodged the body where it was
found, so that the drowning must have
occurred nearly if not two months ago.
Mr. Clark had seen the object in the
water for three weeks but did not sus
pect that it was a human body. He
had a coffin made and a grave was dug
on the hill side overlooking the river,
and the stranger whose history will
never be known, and whose kindred
and friends, if he had any, will prob
ably never know his fate, was given
decent burial. Statesville Landmark.
All honest Men Condemn It
We are sorry to see the boycott mak
ing its way into the South. It can do
no good and can scarcely help doing
considerable harm. It excites antago
nism between labor and capital, where
as the utmost harmony should prevail
between them. It tends towards social
discoro and strife and so toward a
i l i i . i
paralysis of business. There is! no
doubt about the nirht of any interest
to organize for its owu promotion and
protection, and it is proper that the
grievances of any class should be made
known, in order that they may be cor
rected by the public sense of right.
This should be donei however, in the
proper way and not; by means ot con
spiracy and coercion which generally
characterize the boycott. These meth
ods are foreign to the spirit of our in
stitutions and tend to array agains
each other classes whose welfare de
pends on the harmony and kindly feel
ing that may exn)t between them.
They should therefore be . discounten
anced by all those who value the peace
of society. The boycotting system was
introduced into this country from Ire
land, and we for one do not welcome
the importation. Tfce word "boycott"
was coined during the protracted con
test of Irish tenants with one Capt.
Boycott, who was tie agent of a large
landed estate and who was driven away
for a time. The tenants would not
work the lands or suffer others to do
so, unless the rents were largely reduced
or remitted, lhe system has been tried

From the Boston Herald.
It is rumored thai the much agitated
reform hymen's dress is about to be in
augurated in our midst. Several well
known artists and their friends, having f
decided to discard the sombre evening 1
dress, which has been a uniform for
waiters as well as gentlemen, have ,
agreed upon a style that seems niore 1
suitable to the occasion. The favored '
garb is nothing less, picturesque than a
combination of the Venetian and the
French of the time of Charles IX.
One model is composed of a gray
waistcoat and doublet of violet velvet,
embroidered with silver, trimmed with
fine lace at the throat and ruffles at
the wrist, worn over violet satin trunks
slashed! with white, and pearl gray silk
stockings. A Venetian flounce of vel
vet, ornamented with a white ostrich
plume "fastened with jewels in front,
sets off the costume, which is complet
ed by shoes of colored leather with rib
bon bows. Other styles appear in col
ors and modifications suited to the
wearers taste and age.

No Work that Pys Better.
It
costs something to be a good
mother. There is no more exacting
and exhausting work in the world than
a true mothers work. But there is no
work in the world that pays better.
No reward in Clod's service is surer,
richer, grander, than the reward to a
faithful and faith filled mother; and as
to the idea that a mother can nevlect
this work in the earlier years of her I
children's life, and take it up to better
advantage in their latter years, that is
as baseless in fact as it is in philosophy.
No mother on earth ever yet won her
child's freest, truest confidence in its
maturer years, if she had failed of se
curing it before that period. No moth

deliberately postponed their seeking
