The Graded School Bill
We print to-day the Graded
School Bill as vanned. by-
the
Legislature and as it will! be
submitted. to' the vote of the
nonnln nf thU School District
, t
on the first Monday in May.
The proposition to establisih. a
(iraded scnooi, as coniempiaieu
by the bill, upon a tax basis is
.of tfreat importance to the peo
ple of the. district. In vcting
upon it every - person should
consider and weigh carefully
the objections urged again it.
While public free education is
by no means the panacea f(Jr all
of the moral, social and political
evils of the day, as claimed by
many, it cannot be denied that
it is the settled policy of the
American States and of ths en
lightened portion of the World.
The community that refuses to
put itself in line with public
sentiment on this question
must
inevitably suffer in many
re-
spec in. Whether the chi
dren
of one generation have the
right
to demand of the State the op
portnnity for an education is not
now. amonir thouchtful me!n. an
- j , ,
open question,and the State that
refuses to comply with the - de
mand will find itself the
in that most important eleiment
of power enlightened popula
tion. Without undertaking any
general discussion of this
and eomnrehensive subiec
huge
we
will throw oat such thoughts as
arise in our mind as to the in
terest which our own town has
in this question. Wilson has
had a career remarkable i n the
history of the State. Surround
ed by towns many years older
and enjoying natural advanta
ges equal if not superior to it,
we congratulate ourselves that
it has outgrown them in popula
tion, wealth ' and commercial
importance.. No single element
lias entered so largely into us
progress as the generous liberal
spirit manifested by its first
settlers in regard to its schools, j
To those who remember few
years back nothing stood out so
prominent in the history of the
town as the excellent schools,
which brought so much intelli
gence and prosperity to it.
Just here we deem it not out
of the way to say that su:3cieut
appreciation is not shown by
the present inhabitants . of the
generosity and wisdom o" those
who gave to the town the valua
ble school property whih has
been the basis of its educational
interests. Much of tho high
value of the real estate in the
town is due to the school?. Pa
rents have been induced to come
here to educate their children
and thereby become, with their
sons and daughters, permanent ;
residents of the town.
Thrifty, industrious,
Sntelli -
irent and moral population is
the basis of the grow
h and
progress of all States anjd com
munities, and the meife fact
that narents feel sufficient in
terest in the education
of their
children to seek a re:
where it may belmd,
dence of the elements o

char-
cter which go to

but little for such things
and

keen
The experiment ha
tried here for more than
a year,
and the Graded school is a de-
cided success, and nothing has
g iven such an impetus
to our
growth as this

school. The
where these
scnoois nave oeen in existence is
favorable, as is most unmistaka-
bly shown by the large jmmber
of bills passed by the Legisla
ture for their establishment in
the towns of the State. In a few
years every town with 800 peo
ple will have a gradec. school
and we should regre
Wilson behind in th
to see
matter.
While we have decided convie-
tions upon this . subject, we are
aware that there. 'are those
among us who have different
opinions and we desire the
matter thoroughly canvassed.

i W e will pursue this subiect
1 further before the! election,
giving such inf ormtttion as to
the value of the property in
df con-
ducting the school
itUU
other
points' of interest.
The features of the bill are
few and simple. It first estab
lishes the boundaries of the
district which seems to have
been settled upon after careful
consideration. The Commis
sioners are directed to submit
the question of the establish
ment of the school to the qual
ified voters and if a, majority
of such voters favor the school
the Commissioners then levy a.
tax, which shall not exceed 33$
cents on the flOO worth of pro
perty and one dollar on the
poll. It may not be eo much
but cannot be more. The funds
&c, of the two races are sepa
rate. The other provisions
relate to the maner of conduct
ing the Bchool.
Our columns are open to dis
cussion of the merits of the bil
and we trust that the result of
the election may be satisfacto
ry to the intelligent sentiment
of our community.
I .- . ;
The Power of Corporation
The failure of the bill before
the last Legislature to create a
Railroad Commission, and the
ineffectual attempts of previ
oas legislatures to regulate the
freights, and fares of "railroads
are among the indisputable
facts to prove the dangerous
power of these gigantic monop
olies. Twenty years ago Gould,
Vaiiderbilt, Huntington, Sand
ford, Sage and Field were com
paratively poor men. To-day
they are worth $o00,000,000 and
by the power they wield
though the corporations they
manage, control absolutely the
Legislatures of a majority o
the States in the Union. They
make and unmake Governors
Judges, United States Senators,
and Congressmen, and' under
the form of popular govern
ment are practical dictators of
the govermental policy of the:
United States. These are start
ling facts, considered in connec
tion with the bribery and cor-,
ruption through which this
wealth and power has been ac
quired. In 1873" Mr. Gould tes
tHied that he contributed money
to control legislatures in four
States. It was further proved
that the Erie road in a single
year under his management
disbursed more than $1,000,000
for this purpose. The Treasurer
of the New York Central Rail
road testified before the late
Constitutional Convention, of
the State of New York, that
that road paid $250,000 one
year, and $60,000 another, to ob
tain legislation.and that' it was
obtained. In the United States
Senatorial contest when Conk-
ling was defeated, a member of
the Legislature stated that he
had been given $2000 to vote
for a railroad -candidate. lor the
United States Senate. Two
lobbyists were indicted, but
through that corporation in-
fluenco they hive never been
tried. During the railroad riots
in Pittsburg Pa., in 1877, a large
amount of property was des-
! troveri. The railroads rftfnupil
to indemnify shippers and en-
, fleavored to buv a bill through
: the Legislature saddling sever
al millions of dollars upon the
people of Pennsylvania. The
bribers and some of their ac
complices' were tried and convic
ted, but throAgh some mysteri
ous influence were pardoned.
In Kew Jersey the railroads
united last winter in an effort
to bribe the Legislature to pass
a bill securing the entire water
! front of Jersey City, and not
withstanding it was vetoed by
the Governor, it was atrain
; passed over the veto. A
year
s agQ two members of the Ohio
; legislature were
arrested for
the interest
i bribing others in
G
a railroad c,mpany. The
j Credit Mobilier swindle showed
! that $47,261,000 were made by
a syndicate of Congressmen,
many of whom became sudden
ly wealthy without any visible
means of dohnfso. It .is a well
known fact that Congress is
packed with corporation,Taw-
yers and other representatives
of monopoly interests, so that
measures iri the interest of the
people are retarded, while
i those in the interest of corpor
ations are consummated witb-
jout the slghtest difficulty.
! Congress has not only refused
to restore to the public domain
the lands which had been for
feited by the Northern Pacific
! Railroad, but by enforcing the
! gag-law it was tried to prevent
i the vote from going on record.
- ; The chairman of the Commit-
i tee appointed bv the New York
i Itrislature recentlv. after in-
not ! railroads in that State, used
the district, the cost
school to 1 the following language: "The
have the : abuses in railroad management
oi xnose eist so- glaring in their
pro
portions as to savor of fiction,
rather than of actual history."
These, only a few of the undis
puted and indisputable facts,
show the dangerous power
which Railroad Corporations
are exercising in tr.is country
and the urgent necessity of
checking its overshadowing
growth and infinence. The at-
empt to create the late Kaii-
road Commission was a move
in the right direction, and we
fear that the Legislature com
mitted a grave error in failing
to pass the bill, which was de
manded by the people for their
protection, and which was pre
pared with great care by one
of the oldest and most thought
ful members of the Senate.
GoTernor Vance.
The most popular 1 public
man in Washington is the Sen
ator from North Carolina ; com
bining the. bonhomrdie of Mat
Carpenter with the onderfu
faculty of anecdote pf Tom
Corwin, the North Carolinian
is the life of any circle he may
be thrown with. Dull care
gathers her , threadbare gar
ments about her and hurries
away when the genial Vance
come up, and Momus begins to
grin. Whenever a combined
yell of merriment would come
from the cloak room, or a roar
of laughter from the senatorial
restaurant, one could tell with
out any wide guessing who was J
at the bottom of it all. Digni
ty drops her cloak when Vance
is near, and' even the calm, cold
Edmunds who wears a mask,
would unbend and his shrill
laughter be heard high
the test.
It is- worth the price
above
of an
orchestra seat on a benefit night
to hear the Senator tell of his
first experience as a Statesman.
It seems that he was a member
of Congress from North Caro
lina before the war and but-r-let
him tell it in his own words
as he narrated it to some of the
'boys" across the
way,
and
where
scribes
thirsty members
most do congregrate.
"I was a big man, I can tell
i
you, boys, wnen i was nrsi
elected to Congress some twen
ty years ago. I swelled so that
North Carolina could not hold
me, and when I came to Wash
ton, I imagined the eyes of the
whole country were on me. I
followed my friend George
Sheridan's example literally.
I voted on both sides of every
bill that came up. I yelled
Mr. Speaker ! ! ! every chance I
had. 1 called one member a
liar, told another he was a fool,
oggled the ladies-in the gallery,
cursed the pages, and kept
them on the run all the time,
I elevated my boots on the
desk, spit tobacco juice on the
floor, went to the committee
room to look at documents, and
drove up Pennsylvania avenue
in an open barouche . every
evening when the weather was
fine, I swaggered into the din
ing rooms, I lounged in the
lobby, and disported inysebr
everywhere supremely consci
ous that I was the observed of
all observers.
When I returned home, it
was in fine style. We had no
railroads in my section of
North Carolina, and I charter
ed a stage coach and rode on
top with some of my lady
friends, just to show them how
my constituents along the route
regarded me. About evening
when the stage stopped at the
top of a hill to rest the horses,
and directly in front of a
ragged old cabin, its owner, a
real piney woods tar heel,
tood leaning against the fence;
his pair of jeans pantaloons
hung suspended by one gallus ;
a hickory shirt opon at the
throat and an old straw hat,
through the holes iu which
shocks of sandy : hair darted.
When he saw me,, he spit out 1
about a pint of tobacco juice,
and shifted the quid to xinotlier
cheek ; he scratched tlie calf
of his left leg with the toe of
his right foot and then taking
me in, he brawled out :
"Hell blazes 'Zeb Vance, is
that you?" Washington corres

Our Supreme Court Keports
The provision made
for the
republication of our Supreme j
Cnnrt Reoorts. was one of the
most comuwiuauie acta ic
last Legislature. It is well
a ' i 11..'
known that many of1 the vol
umes containing the opinions
of our most eminent jurists
Taylor, Henderson, Ruffin and
Gaston are now out. of print.
Some of later date are so scarce
that they command exorbitant
prices. A co'mplete et of our
Reports is not only ifcult to
obtain, but the 5ca7,city and
high price of many of the vol
umes places it beyond t.he reach
of many of thoee just entering
upon the profession. The
opinions of the Judges of our
highest court, should not only;
be accessible to all the mem
bers of the pixtf essxon. and oJB
cers concerned in. the adminis
tration of justice, but the peo
ple; of the State, -whose rights
of person and property axe
afected Vrzr. Two years
igo the Legislature, then in
session, naa me same buujct,
before them, but adjourned
without taking any final action.
The last Legislature has acted
more wisely in promptly order
ing the republication of our
Supreme Court Reports, upon
such terms as will bring them
within the reach every intelli
gent citizen.
The New Code.
The chairman of the Code
Commission Hon. W. T. Dortch
ha.3, by ' advertisement in the
Raleigh News-Observer, invi
ted proposals for the printing
and bindinir the new Code.
Persons desiring the contract
are requested to address him
atGoldsboro until the first of
June next, When the bidding
will be closed and the contract
awarded for its" publication in
two volumes of about six
hundred pages each. Ten thou
sand copies of each volume
will be published and the edi
tion will be stereotyped. The
work will be ready for distri
bution by the time prescribed
by the Legislature for it to go
into effect. In the meantime
the acts of the last Legislature
wiH be published and distribu-
ted as usual, and the -'Chaotic
Confusion" which the code is
intended to remedv. will con
tinue to reign until then.
The bill that passed the Leg
islature fixes the pay of the Su
perintendent of Public Schools
at two dollars per day and he is
to visit schools only on the writ
ten reouest of the school com
mitteemen. This will, we be
lieve, impair the efficiency of
system. ,
One of Wilson county's most
intelligent and practical citizens
said, in our office yesterday, that
Wiley Farmer and John Bailey
made "the best representatives
Wilson county has had in the
Legislature since" the war and
there are many who think as he
does.
The Legislature reduced the
State tax from 28 to 25 cents,
and the poll from 85 to 75 cents.
This looks like economical leg
islation. Queen Victoria is very ill.
