By WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. G. Thursday Evening, Dec. 4, . 1 884. EVENING EDITION. EDUCATION BY FEDERAL APPRO- rjt&iA.s.Jvij "Dr: Mayo, the agent of the Peabody Fund, saya there is a gratifying growth of popular education at the South, but that the people of that section are too poor to do all that needs to be done. Yet their representatives at Washington would not pass the Blair bill to distribute a part of the national surplus for the extirpation of illit eracy. The Southern politicians seem to oe mucn renina ine souinera peopiein their desire to see common schools in creased in number and in efficiency." Jrhil. American. This is taken from a paper that is not only Republican but that favors the continuing of the high taxes that a surplus may be created and in or der to distribute the whole among the States for the purpose of educa tion. It is the advocate of Wharton Barker's wild scheme for doingj evil that good may come. We are not surprised that this paper favors a - violation of the Constitution that the stigma of illiteracy may be re moved. ' j We wish to say that there ' is a great deal of illiteracy in the North. Even in Massachusetts there are over 90,000 illiterate people. Further, let it be squarely -asserted that al though the South "is too poor to do all that needs to be done" it has made very marked progress since it was stripped of its property by the ""North and plundered by carpet-baggers and 8callawags, aided and abet ted by the recently enfranchised ne groes. The South has heretofore been self-reliant, and its people have made a most extraordinary sacrifice in dividing the' sums raised for popu lar education between the two races. If not interfered with it will continue in this good work. But the moment r you make the Southern whites pen-' siohers upon Federal bounty-that moment you begin the work of degra dation. Lessen a people's self-respect ana self-reliance and you depreciate their character and render them less heroic, less noble. We reioice that in the C.nnrrraaa there are so many men from the South who have not bartered away the Constitution for a - few millions of surplus. We rejoice that there are men in the Congress who hold t steadfastly to principle, and who re- fuse to break down the barriers of the Constitution under '' any plea, whether it be money for education or money for any other cause.': We honor snr.h tj Hftu MUU ucva, and Coke and other. Senators from the South who fought so ably and unanswerablv the Blair bill fmm fho start. . . . : ' . " -. No man can answer the arguments that have been urged in the Senate and out of it in opposition to the very dangerous Blair bill. No man can favor it without' doing despite to the integrity of the great Charter of our libertiea--without violating ;it', If the Congress can raise 2 a w sur plus and then distribute it among the States for' educational-purposes, surely if can raise a like surplus to build school houses, to r give forty acres and "a mule to every colored voter, or to s do any thing whatsoever that shall in any way conduce to "the -"publics welfare4' This is true, or there is no such thing as rules of construction and principles ofiogic. - A( K "The Southern politicians';, are jor the most part, we are'pained to believe, in tavor or tne xiair Bcueme wrong. "The Southern people' ' are uninformed as to the bill and the clear limitations of the powers of the Congress under the Constitution. If they knew the dangers that lurk in this beguiling and plausible and insinuating Blair bill, and that" it is to abuse and pervert the Constitu tion and to destroy the rules of criti cism and interpretation of language to pass such a bill, they would never favor it. : - The Southern people are not : y et in favor of giving up the Constitu tion of the fathers to the Bchool of India-rubber interpreters, and to make it say any and everything ac cording to the demands of greed and policy. They still believe in local self-government, in the - reserved rights of the States under the Con stitution, .and in a strict construction of the Charter of our liberties. Not even to educate the negroes and to rid themselves of a great burden,and possibly a great . duty, would they violate the letter and spirit of the or ganic law. The South plays ( with a two-edged sword when it takes the Blair bill in Us hand. It will be des perately woundi d in the end. ' A CHEAT POLITICAL HERESY. ' No North or South is now the Democrats' cry. Time's -whirligig has , taught them that State rights are State wrongs. Phila delphia Neva, Bep. The man who runs this paper was once the editor of the old Richmond Enquirer, the paper founded by Thomas Ritchie, who was the leader of Virginia Democrats' in the past and gave them the cue in all cam paigns. wrjongs.n "State rights are State There was never a greater political heresy than that. Here is a Republican organ actually de nouncing the claim of reserved "rights" to the States under the Con stitution as great "wrongs." Here is a Republican sheet that believes in a Nation in a Strong Government in a Centralized Power. In its po litically philosophy the States are nothing and the Government is eve rything. v Southern ; Democrats ought to be willing to die for State rights under the Constitution. Without local self-government there is no genuine liberty in this land. Wipe out all rights of States under the Constitu sion the organic law of the land and you bind the people hand and foot. Let the Federal Government be all and in ail, and in twenty years we would have an Empire on these shores. ' : . , Every candid man who has reflect ed upon our history and has studied the Constitution knows the danger of lessening the powers and authority of the sovereign Commonwealths and strengthening in the same proportion the powers and authority of the Cen tralized Government. The Constitution as first framed was in utter distrust of the people. The amendments first adopted,twelve in all, were framed to protect the peo ple against the Government. There has always been an element in this country that was inimical to liberty and the Constitution. They are forever scheming and writing to abridge the rights of the people, to endanger their liberties, and to build up a great overshadowing Power at Washington that shall swallow finally the States. i It is for this reason, with others, that we have so pertinaciously fought the Blair bill. It is the tro gan horse of the Consolidationists, aud if they can only induce the South to violate the Constitution for money they feel that they have indeed ob tained an entrance for a wedge that will so rive the South as to finally destroy all belief in Constitutional limitations. Once induce the South ern people to accept the stupendous heresy that it, is great to fong to claim any rights for the States j and then the work of- destruction begins in earnest. Let the people always remember that Articles IX and X of the Amendments to the Constitution read as follows: - "The enunciation in the Constitution of certain bights shall not be constrained to deny or disparage others retained by the people. The powers not deligated to the United JStatea by the Constitution, nor ; prohibited by it to the States, are reserved - to the States sespzctivei.t or to the people.; ' Illiteracy is an evil and it existsin many. State other than , in North Carolina or in the South. For in- stancein Illinois. there are 50,000; irr Indiana 38,000$ in Massachusetts 32, 000 ; in New York 8 1 j000 ; in Penn sylvania 72,500; j in Wisconsin 22, 000. Mark you,! these are electors It is a fact, as we showed from the census "during the campaign,- that there were more illiterate Republican voters than -tbereere Deiaocratio voters, i The Democratic vote in 1680 8howed Republican- votef ebowei 1,294,1 91 illiterates majority for the Republi cans 717,165. ' Per "cent , of ; Demo crats who cannot j write is 9.19; per cent. . of Republicans who cannot write 20.56. rTw'. .' TA MISTAKE. The Tories regard Mr. Gladstone as t their enemy, life one of them. . He was in early i; He outgrew rapid- ly the: leading strings of Toryism, and has beeri: for forty years on the side of the people. We have but' little doubt that the Tory leaders will be glad of his death, but they will find their mistake. - As we have often had roccassion to say in these columns, Mr. Gladstone is not an extremist is not a Radical. He is a practical reformer,' and has done more than any other British states man for the people.- When he dies the reform movement will continue, but it will pass under, the control of men much more : advanced, more ex treme than the great Premier is. He is, as we said the . other day,, the breakwater between the Tories and the Radicals.- When hois no more the latter will become the directors to a great extent of the reform move ment that will not stop. The Eng lish people are in favor of reform, and a majority of them are with the Liberals. Mr. Gladstone holds the helm now and there will be no revo lution. After his death the great landlords the Peers of the Realm may lookout for a storm. The death of Mr. Gladstone in one of the days to come will reveal to them how mistaken they are now in desiring his departure. We have regarded the Philadel phia American as a decent, able pa per. We used to thick it meant well for the country and had a regard for principle and honor. But it is tarred with the fame stick that the organs are tarred with. It advocates the Wharton Barker "craze" and was a warm supporter of the meanest, most vicious, most unprincipled political demagogue known to political histo ry. But not satisfied with advocat ing Blaine's candidacy, it defends and approves of his incendiary and lying speech at Augusta that has been de nounced by all of the fair and repu table journals. The American of the 29th ult. said of Blaine's ha rangue: "But he has reached the point at which he can afford to tell unpleasant truth with out regard to policy. And what he said was simple truth from the first word to the last .of his speech." CURRENT COMMENT. The; free trade treaty of the United States with the Sandwich Islands is a. swindle of gigantic pro portions. It has maintained itself in defiance of honesty and common sense. The excuse for the fraud was that it would cheapen sugar at San Francisco. The United States Trea sury thus pays' to the sugar importers 13,000,000 a jear. 3 For about $100, 000 the railroad agents agree to keep Eastern v sugar. Away from points west of the Rocky 1 Mountains. , The people, therefore, pay the New York price for sugar not a cent less. Ha waians at San Francisco escape taxa tion. It is not a tariff for revenue. It is a high tariff to be collected from everybody but Clans Spreckels. We sent to Hawaii, in one veaiy $2, 556,399 of our .merchandise, - which went in free.- But J the trade which came to San Francisco free in re turn, lost us taxes .not ; only to the whole value of the?t? ??S,399 worth of goods sent oui, I t . 103,601 be side. The Cvrrentf.: -s The greaf fault of the Morri son bill was its want Of thorough-, ness, but that was owing to a -desire to promptly reduce the enormous Treasury surplus and give immediate relief to the tax-payers of . the coun try. There are no instances in which the "horizontal" reductions of 15 and 20 per cent, would have injuriously (affected American industries, as care ful provision was made in the bill that no rates of duty should fall be low tbe Morrill - protective tariff of March, 1861.,, But in the Morrison billr4he additions to . the free list of raw materials were too small to give adequate relief i to American manu- fanturers,andt to enable them to suc cessfully conipete with foreign rivals in the markets at home and abroad., CoaVsalt and lumber were about tbe only important additions' proposed to the "free ;-Jist,; Awhile ; wool, iron ..and copper esbhemieals dye-stuffs, and other raw- materials of industry, were left to the horizcAtalreductions.' Then, again the 20per cent. f red up tiori was too low for many articles in the tariftchednle: npcinwhich duties most oppressi ve to trade axe imposed. In a i$orqragljj these yineuaUtie and abuses will be exposed an the remedies VwUl W applied. JPhil IRecorfylnfa : OFFICIAL VOTE a?, NORTH CARO- ' .;.LINA.'"'.,"r ' -I':;-4.

As for the negro, he will thrive better by a little wholesome neglect from those who use him only as a party shibboleth in the North while conspiring against him in the South. The Republic has some dark problems to solve, but the , defeat of the man who was violently opposed to Mahone and coalition in 1881, 1882, and 1883, and to the Force bill in 1864, is surely a step forward. Blaine says he was deserted because Burchard arrested the -desertion of Catholics from the Democratic ranks. What a confession! He received. tbe votes of one-third the Democratic party of the United States, else he would not have carried 10 States, perhaps not 6. I shall wait to see whether the party trieB to recover strength by building on its disease before I hasteq my conclusions as to the future. ' v , Very truly your friend. GeqrgG. Gorhak.

"Their great value m Malarial Diseases and Sequelae has beeD most abundantly and satisfac torily tested; and I have no question that it would have been a valuable auxiliary in the treatment of the epidemic of Yellow Fever which so terribly afflicted the Mississippi Valley during the past summer. I prescribed it myself, and it gave prompt relief in a case of Suppression of Urine, in Yellow Fever, and decidedly mitigated other dis tressing and dangerous symptoms. The patient re covered, but how far the water may have contri buted to that result (having prescribed it in but a single case) I, of course, cannot undertake tn say. There is no doubt, however, about the fact that its administration was attended by the most, benefi cial results." Springs now opens for guests.
