THE KIND OF TRVSTEES.
It was not intended in our editorial
on the University to intimate re
motely that there were not many ex-
- cellent gentlemen admirably qualified
among the Trustees. The point was
that alumni and life long -friends of
the University were overlooked and
new men or obscure men or ..incom
petent men were substituted. That
is all, and it is true. A distinguished
and working Trustee writes to us in
dorsing most that we said. He com
plains tbaf many of the Trustees do
not attend the meetings of the Board.
He says: "We need Trustees . who
are not only intelligent business men,
. of high morals, but men who will ac
cept the trust in good faith." He
says:- "What you say in regard to
the causes of the election of some of
the Trustees is undoubtedly true."
He says half do not attend a meeting,
and he knows several graduates at
that who have been on the Board
since 1874, and yet never meet the
members who do attend. He says
very properly: "Whenever any one
accepts a trust; he should discharge I
the duties qf it." He says farther: I
I aree with you that there are
members of the Board who should 1
never have been elected. They lack
the brains and character." We agree
with him most heartily when he says
farther: "But there are some persons
on it who are quite as well fitted, for
the place as any others in the State."
There is no doubt of this. We can go
farther and saylhat probably among
the Board there are gentleman who
are better qualified than any who are
overlooked, and we know of none
who is superior to our correspondent.
He takes a view different from our
own as to qualifications, and possibly
he is correct. He says that the Uni
versity "needs for its management
: j . ; o- I
business qualifications and character I
and devotion much more than it
needs literary and scientific culture."
This i may be true. And yet the
Trustees of the great . German Uni
versities and the English Universi
ties, as well as the leading Northern
Universities, are men of liberal edu
cation in the strict sense of the words
men' of scholastic attainments.
Yale College, for instance, has
none other - than a scholarly
Trustee in all the list, and so
with Harvard. Our correspondent
. who is gifted with pen and tongue,
and is a most practical, common
sense worker, is a distinguished
alumnus of the University. He in
his own , person and character illus
trates precisely what we meant when
we referred to' the qualifications
needed; We do not believe that a
knowledge of the best authors and
broad culture unfit a man for the
common affairs of life and make him
a failure.
We have known a man to be a
Trustee who did not believe in higher
education, and. who repudiated the
idea that the world was to be ever
evangelised by human instrumental
ity.. He was a man of very little
reading, of very narrow views, of
small opportunities for knowing. Of
the management of a University he
was as ignorant as a Bushman in
Africa. We know precisely what
influences secured his election. ' How
could such a man vote intelligently
as to what system" Bhould be adop-
ted the old curriculum, or. that
which prevails in many of the great-
est inRt.it.nt.innn nf laaraintv !n 4Vn
est institutions of learning in the
world? " How could such a -man vote
intelligently as to questions that came
up before the Board last Summer ?
The Stab means good only for .the
University in 'what it -saya. The
writer has been, in Raleigh when
Trustees were being chosen by the
Legislature and he has had a peep
behind the scenes. H knows more
than he. has told. He was not stri
king wildly or blindly, but he wrote
. from ..; some knowledge of what had
occurred some times, even as far
back as A. D. 1854. But we have
said more than wasi purposed and
drop the subject.
A RE A Ei HERO.

THEORY VEUST7S FACT.
We copied some few weeks since
a paragraph from a strong paper by
Dr. Charles, j YYj. Dabney, Jr., on
"The New Educatiou." It was based
upon a somewnap startling paper in
the April number of . the Century
Magazine, written by no less a con
tributor than
Gladden, onelof
Rev, " - Washington
jtbe foremost of the
contributors ;to
that very popular
magazine. Lr. iDabney sayB:
When a Southern divine published in
the Christian lUbsereer, or Louisville, a
short time Ago. series of statistical, papeis
which proved 16 at during the thirty years
existence of the1 public schools in New Eng
land the criminal and pauper classes among
the natives had greatly increased in num
bers, the facts: received no notice, or were
discredited at i the North, as the distorted
conclusions of a prejudiced 'Bourbon, ' and
had little of that earnest attention paid
them at home which their tremendous lm
port suggested.!'
The Stab! has! again and again du-

ring the last ten years shown from
statistics the Batne condition of af
fairs. Mr. Gladden is working on
1 t . II .I'--:
the same line and his confession . of
failure is clear and unmistakable.
He shows that the free-school system
of boastful N-vt England is a lament
able, a complete failure. Speaking
of educational advantages, Mr. Glad
den says of Massachusetts:
"Grave dangers menace Us peace; u&ly
evils infest its teeming population. Pauper
ism is increasing The number of thoe
who lack either the power or the will tt
maintain themselves, and who are therefore
thrown upon ti enre of the Sute. is grow
ing faster than the population Li 1850
there was one 'prisoner in Massarhusetts'to
every eight hundred and four of the popu
lation; in 1880 there was one to every four
hundred and eigtjt jftven . The raiio of
the prisontrs toth whol population nearly
doubted in thirty years. But it may be
said that this increase is due to the rapid
growth of - the ! foreign i population in
Massachusetts : There would be small
comfort in this explanation if it were
the true our; but it is not the true one.
The native criminals ate increasing faster
than tbea foreign-bora criminals la 1850
there wa one native prisoner to every one
thousand two hundred and sixty-seven na
tive citizens: id 1880 there was one native
prisoner to every Isix hundred and fifteen
native citizens. The rttio of native prison
ers to the native population more than
doubled in thirty! yeans. ' I; 'And this, be it
remembered, is ioiMassschusttts the State
in which education of every kind, public
and private, has!: been longer established.
and is more munificently endowed and
more thoroughly administered than in any
other State in the Union. Massachusetts
expends, through: her public schools, for
the tuition or every pupil enumerated in
her school population, nearly sixteen dol
lars a year." i ' i " i
We saw IVlf. Gladden' paper as!
soon as it was lout and intended to
examine the; discussion, but other
topics and work engaged us. We are
glad that Dr. Dabney has drawn at
tention to the discussion in the Ra
leigh News- Observer from which we
tabe the above Horace Mann, of
t i I . . I' - .
Mass., was ai
scholar - and an ear
nest worker and a very successful or-
ganizer, but he
was a very blind and
infatuated enthusiast on the subject
of education. , He believed that the
great lever-power of the world was
education that discipline and edu
cate the mind and you would regene
rate mankind. IThat he and all such
enthusiasts, in whatever section, are
sadly mistaken lis only too plain to
those who observe. Dr. Dabney thus
comments on the statement and con
fession of Mr. Gladden; v .
'Alas and has this patent nrocesa of

woever me mwrtus ..woiiicniwKu.:
. .
He fiavs, and the soundest educators
in the Soutli know it to be true, and
many leading teachers in the North
are now moving on the same line of
thought: - -
"Th" Miuuuurmaettg svstem merely fur
nishes the brain, and gives no solid moral
i-haracter and no training to Jthe body, or
filers for earning "an honest living. My
belief is" that a school without a dole, tnai
in, without efficient religious instruction,
and without physical ana tnai general iu
duslrial training which- fits the child for a
mechanical profession, is 7 very likely to
prove worse than no 3chool at alL The
New England public school makes a boy
smart perhaps, trains his mind to a certain
astuteness, which . is as different from a
genuine education as the cunning of a fox
is from the learning of a statesman." -
Dr. Dabney is correct. Observa
tion and facts establish it. He then
has wise words to say of manual
training, but we will not follow him
in that direction ,now. At another
time we may have something ..to say
of the right kind of education the
moral and hand training. Our space
is too far exhausted to enter upon a
line of reflection ' which is entirely
germane to the above. ; In another
article we will lay before our readers
some considerations which will eluci
date the fact that education often
proves a great: source of discon
tent. Ttpe .New England idea that
if you can multiply indefinitely pub
lic schools ; and crowd them with
eager pupils seeking to inform the
mind that you have discovered some
thing greater than the philosopher's
stone, -- that .-' you have found the
great up lifter of mankind and the
cure all of all social and natural and
national evils and complaints. And
yet in the highly educated Massa
chusetts of 1886, there are ten crim
inals in proportion to population to
where there was one criminal among
the ignorant and unlettered whites in
the South in 1860. Education never
vet cured discontents but .breeds
them. Education never yet extirpa
ted crime and will never extirpate
crime. The- penitentiaries in the
North are crowded now with educa
ted scoundrels, and the men in Eu
rope, in EDgland, in the United States
who are at the bottom of the social
disturbances - the ' Anarchists' and
Nihilists, are all educated men and
many of them accomplished scholars
. Major Macon and Gen. Gordon
met at Eatonton. Ga. The v lost
their temper nd sharp words fol
lowed. Here is what occurred ac
cording to a special to the Augusta
Chronicle, an anti Gordon paper:
"Wbo asserts it lies, who insinuates it
lies, wbo repeats it after bearing me to-day
lies that I ever resigned any public: trust.
in peace or in war, when my services would
beasfit my people or country, and when I
was physically able to serve, and let him
come who dares to defy.
"That was Major Bacon's manly and
significant reply, to-day. to Gen. Gordon's
insinuating inquiry if he had not resigned
rrom the ninth Ueorgia regiment, as Adju
tant, when his country .needed his services
"During the delivery of this bold rebuke
or an unworthy insinuation Major ttacon
looked Gen. Gordon fully in the eyes and
shook his finger at him.".
There came near . being a serious
row between Bacon. and. Dr. R. B.
Nisbet and bis sons.
Mr. Gladstone is preparing for a
dissolution of Parliament. A London
special to the Ne w York World says:
"Ii is reported that Mr Gladstone has
replied lo the Queen that she must dissolve
f arliament u bless the majority against the
Home-Rule bill be bo great as to justify its
opponents in. undertaking the Government
with a i chance of succeeding la passing
Irish legislation. Ministerialists say that in
the event ' of , the bill being carried by a
small majority, or being defeated by a
small majority, Parliament will be dissolv
ed, and if. the majority against the bill
reaches forty the Ministry will resien."
The members of the new Cabinet
are now being named. Lord Har-
tington, Whig, is lo be Prime Min
ister. It is said Bright will speak
and vote against the Home-Rule bill.
His conduct is very singular.
Representative Ward, of Indiana,
says the Democrats will lose that

by some Democrats in Washington
that they will gain two members in
California and one each in Louisiana
Tennessee, Missouri and Illinois. But
they are certain to lose heavily in
Ohio, .Iowa and Michigan. If the
Democrats do not hold their own in
the South and gain in New York thev
may wakeNup in November with a
consciousness that something has hit
them and that the next House will
be Republican. '
Senator Beck's zeal for the con
firmation of the Republican postmas
ter of Louisville is nn tempered.
Why should a Republican woman be
appointed to office in preference to a
Democrat ? And why Bhould Dem
ocrats ask for such an appointment ?
Willis, the Blainte of the House,
caused the appointment, aided and
abetted by Senator Beck. It is a
very censurable procedure and de

his land, nor permit his stock to run there
in, he may give the adjoining owner three
months' notice of his determination; and in

I London, May 19. In the House of Com
mons this evening, Timothy Harrington
Home Kule member for Dublin, moved
second reading of the bill providing for the
election .by ballot of poor law, guardians in
Ireland, abolishing proxies and reducing
the number of ex-offlcio members of the
poor boards. Orange members bitterly op-
. posed tbe motion. : John Morley supported
the motion and after a hot debate it was
carried by a vote of 207 to 105. The an
nouncemen t of the .result was received with
cheers. '
Tbe Conservatives have arranged to hold
a monster loyalist demonstration against
tbe Home Kule bill in tbe -city of Uames
boioiigh, Lincolnshire, to-night. Parnell
has organized a counter demonstration in
the same place and has sent T.i M. Healy
thither to take charge of it and make ihe
principal speech.
Lord Salisbury was accorded a perfect
ovation when he- appeared on the stage of
-Htr Majesty's theatre ; this afternoon to
address a Conservative meeting assembled
there, under the auspices of the Primrose
League. All the auditors wore Lord
Beaconsneld's favorite flower: In his ad
dress Lord Salisbury declared that Toryism
was growing rapidly among all classes in
the Empire. He said he felt it to be his
duty in these critical times to urge all loyal
men to combine for the support of religion
and the Empire. He denied that he had
recommended as the best means of eov
erning the Irish people the adoption of the
twenty years coercion policy; he had.only
advised the maintenance of law and order
in Ireland. He reiterated his advice to
the Irish to emigrate from Ireland If they
could not prosper and be content under
British rule; and urged the Conservatives
to support tbe Liberal Unionist candi
dates in tbe coming election, where Con
servatives could not certainly be chosen.

Montgomery. Ala.. May 18. The state
ment purporting to come from Carlislc.Pa.

29th, that ' he often prayed God to live to
Bee the day when Lincoln and Grant were
in uen, ana as uis prayer uau Deea granteu
he was willing to die," is absolutely false.
Every; word uttered by Davis in the twp
speeches he. made here was telegraphed to
tho ; Associated Press, as many Northern
correspondents wbo were here will testify.
Porter s runner statement that he was
severely cut by a man in the crowd hearing
Davis, because he said "Davis ought to
have been hung while at Fortress Monroe,"
is equally false.. Un the night of Air.
Davis' arrival, about 11 o'clock. Porter was
very drunk in a bar room, and got into a
fight, ? in which he was slightly cut. His
wound was received fifteen hours before
Mr. Davis spoke, and the quarrel had no
thing to do with politics. It was just one
drunken man fighting another, and it was.
the only disturbance here during tne three
davs of excitements
The physician who attended . Norman
Porter says that Porter left here on the
morning after he was cut, and that his
wound was not serious enough to prevent
his attending to his duties as sleeping car
conductor. He was not in Montgomery at
all when Mr. Davis spoke, being in At
lanta before the procession started from the

Chicago, May 17. Officer Thomas Red
den died at the county hospital this morn
ing, at 2 o'clock,, making the sixth death
among the police wounded in the Hay
market riot. Blood poisoning was the im
mediate cause of death. Redden had his
left leg fractured by a dynamite bomb, re
ceived a . bullet wound in his left cheek,'
and a wound in his right. He leaves a
wife and two children.
Workmen in yards in the southwestern
lumber district have taken action to renew
the strike. .Meetings were held yesterday at
various places, the two branches Germans
and Bohemians holding their meetings
separately. Prominent members of the
Lumber . Workers ' Union addressed the
crowds, urging the men strongly to con
tinue the strike." The support of employes
oi tbe stocK yarns and oi woramen in the
bunding trades was promised, as the fate of
the eight hour movement,, it was said, de
pended upon its adoption in the lumber
yards. At least 3,000 men attended the
several meetings and -united j action waa.
taken. It was resolved to continue the
strike, and circulars were printed in German
and Uohemian which were circulated freely.
a iree translation - ot - tne lierman cir
cular is as follows: "To lumber work
ers: iAll employes of lumber yards are
called upon to stand out for eight hours,
The strike will be renewed in all yards
Monday morning, May 17th. The strike
will be supported by employes of stock
yards, carpenters and joiners.
(Signed) : : Committee of Lumber
Workers Uhion."
When the yards closed Saturday after
noon it was thought tne striae was at an
end. ; Nearly half the men were at work
again; and it . was thought that nearly all
would go caca to-day.
A restless spirit prevailed : in the soulb
west lumber region. . This morning, at 7
o'clock, Twenty-second and intersecting
streets were lined with a great crowd of
men and boys. 'The decided stand taken
at the meetings of strikers Saturday and
yesterday, and the promulgation of their
determination to stay out and: compel the
bosses to capitulate,- had forewarned the
police and they were on hand in force early
in the morning, prepared to preserve order
and quell any demonstrations of violence
that might occur. Lieut Sbephard, ; with
an extra squad i of officers, patroled the
streets and prevented large gatherings, dia
persing the men : and compelling them. to
keep moving Several of the firms started
up with small gangs of men and no" trodble
of any kind occurred during the flcst work
ing hours of the day. Those who are out
to stay did not .attempt any f interference
witti men wno wished to go to: work.
A tour of the yards revealed the fact that
not exceeding . one-third of the men who
were at work Saturday appeared at the
yards this morning, having been intimida
ted by fear that the yards would be raided
from the stock yards and other industries.
