Line, in which he savs that better service will be given fiie people along the line of -the Roanoke & Tar River railroad in a few days, as soon as a schedule can be arranged. This is news that will be hailed with delight by people along and near the road. Our people have been neglected by the railroad company long enough, and we are glad to note that it has at last given the needs and wants of '-our. people some consideration. What -will the newly elected Legislature do about "higher edu cation?" is a question uppermost in the minds of man people of tho Old North State. Man y friends of the Colored Normal Schools, the Agricultural Colleges, the Normal and Industrial School and the University fear that these institutions will be seriously crip pled by the next Legislature. But wo do not think they need to fear the rCsult, as the Legislature of ,1891, which established the State Normal and Industrial School, was largely predominated by farmers, and it was very liberal to all of our educational institutions, and did much- for them.' We shall watch the proceedings with much anxiety and 'trust that our schools may re ceive liberal support. J WHAT CAUSED DEFEAT. In another column will be found a letter from our friend, Mr. Thos. S. Noiilcet, of Bertie, in reply to our observation that Cleveland was largely responsible for the recent defeat of the Democratic .party. We aro not going to argue the question as to-Avhat caused defeat, and we agree with Mr. Norlleet that "if the people leant to make their living at home and not ex pect the government to make it for them," that the country would .... . soon be in ; more prosperous con dition; but we do not exactly agree with him when he says that, "the North, where both parties favored his (the President's financial). poK ieyf went overwhelmingly Repub lican, and the South, which was generally opposed to his policy, went,'. with the exception of North Carolina, as strongly Detnocraticr "VVe think if our friend wilt look over the- returns he will see that j tho Democrats also lost heavily in I Kentucky? Tennessee,- Marvland, j Georgia, Alabama, Texas and oth er Southern States. The condi tions in the South are'someJiat different from the North ; here the Democrats fight largely within their party, while at the North there is not the same local issue to hold them together and when dissatisfied the voter goes more readily to the other party. Whether the President was re sponsible for the defeat of his par ty or not, there is no denying the fact that he created much dissatis faction by appointing a Populist to the highest office within his gift and making a railroad and Trust lawyer his Attorney General who has utterly failed to discharge his duty and by his neglect has brought discredit upon his Depart ment, to say nothing of his nomi nations of Van Allen, Hornblover and Teckham, his discreditable Foreign policy and his seemingly puerile use of Federal patronage to award those who supported his nominations and .measures and withholding it from those who did not at all times do so. Notwithstanding all this, Mr. Cleveland has been very generous to the South and has seemed to desire to , treat this section of the country fairly in his appointments. He is so neutral in polities that he did not even vote in the recent election. Education the Safety of the Nation. Not long since the Governor of one of the -Western Suites made this remarkable statement: -One of the lirst objects that should atr tract the attention of every states man is the habits, condition and future prospects of the youth of the country. Through them we may read the destiny of the Re public, for good or for ill. If we suffer them to grow up in idleness and ignorance we must look to j the future with forebodings of the misery and the depredation that await our descendants, whilst on the other hand, if we give them industrious habits, guard well their morals ancV impress), their minds, .we- may finally anticipate that our institutions will be per petuated, and our descendants grow up and continue in the en joyment of freedom, independ ence and prosperity. The means of attaining this desirable end must be had through our common schools; and although much has been done in the great cause of education, yet there is still much to be done to perfect the system so as to bring within the reach of our whole population the means of a thorough common school ed ucation and make these schools what tliev should indeed be." If this distinguished gentleman has correctly suited the mission of the common schools, no sub ject can more worthily occupy the thoughts, or call into action the energies of our citizens. Then the cause of education is emphat ically the cause of the State, and in .importance transcends and ov ershadows tiiat of most if not all others, which fall within the scope of legislative action. It is identi fied with the cause of morality, with the true glory and prosperi- tr of the nation and with all the! most .important interests of so ciety, j It is not to be denied that we are encompassed with danger, and that there are elements of destruction among us. which if left to ojvrate without check or control will soon cause the ruin of our institutions. VCe write not as a politician. Thedangers to which we refer spring from our circum stances and' environments, and are inherent in our political or ganizations. They -will, the re fo re. exist no matter what party-may claim to have ascendency. Our freedom may prove our bane un less the peoile, the original source of all power, are so far enlighten-1 ed as to be able to exercise the! various functions of poweraright Universal suffrage, .like' many other things in this contradictory world, is either a blessing or a curse, it. will boa blessing ton fi-ii..vju. ttuusi- uiii.cuj use it wun intelligence; it will be a curse to any reople so far wanting in that attribute as to allow themselves to be made mere tools in the hands of designing and uhprincipaled seekers after places and power. It may be stated as a postulate that the ability to reflect, examine and judge, and possession of ele vated virtue, each attainable for the most part only through the instrumentality of education, are essential to the safe exercise of the privilegesof freemen. Farm ers' Friend and Grange Advocate. THE CAUSE OF DEFEAT. CLEVELAND NOT TO BLAME ONE CONSOLATION FOR SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS. Mr. Editor: In your issue of Nov. 8, I notice you say 4 -the de feat of the Democrats is attribu table largely to President Cleve land who set himself up as better and wiser than his party." Now, I do not know by what process of reasoning you arrived at this con clusion, but it looks to me as though it was exactly the other way, I suppose you refer to his (the President's) financial policy when you say, "wiser than his party," and if so how is it that the North, where both parties fa vored his iolicy,went overwhelm ingly Republican, and the South, which was generally opposed to his policy, went with the excep tion of North Carolina, as strong ly Democratic! i I think. "Mr. Editor, vou wi have to look somewThat deeper than the dissatisfaction of the jeople with any one man, howev er high his position, to find the causes for the late political land slide. There is, however, one consolation for the sound money Democrats, and that is that this election has settled for a genera tion at least the subject of the free and unlimited coinage of sil ver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and the Populistic craze in regard to an issue of irredeemable paper cur rency, as the Republican party is unalterably opposed to anything of either kind. If the people will nowr learnto makeUheir living at home, and not expect the govern ment to make it for. them and pay their debts besides, the country will soon be in a prosperous con dition I hope and believe.

Wood roof, a member of the County Board of Education, is teaching the public school in District No. 9. ! Mrs. Nancy -H. Joy nerfof Mia mi, who has been teaching occas ionally for over 40 years, has been employed to teach the school in District No. 13, near Rehoboth, to begin on 26th November. Miss Rose Furgurson. of Pleas ant Hill, has again been employed to teach the school in District No. 46, near that place. She is making an effort to have a large attendance at her school this winter. Union Academy, at Union,: Hertford county, of which Mr. Paul J. Long and Miss XTannie Peebles of Northampton are the teachers, is in a nourishing con dition and the outlook for the Spring term is bright Miss Lena Moore, Principal of Lasker School, has decided to or ganize, a literary society in con nection with the school which will meet twice a month- All the peo ple of the vicinity are! invited to take an active part in the work of the society. It is intended for the benefit of the entire commu nity, i Miss Pattie D. Thorne, of Hali fax county, has returned from Pennsylvania Where she has been teaching for year or two, and ac cepted a school in her native coun ty of Halifax where she is now doing faithful work. Miss Thorne is kindly remembered by the peo ple of Lasker where she taught once. FROM HEItTFOPvD COUNTY. AN INTEKESTIG LETTEli FliOM AN OLD FRIEND TO QUIT RAISING COT TON OTHER MATTERS. Iii opening my niaifa few days ago, there dropped from the wrapper an old time friend, dear in the reminiscences of the past In comparing a photograph of its former self with it of to-day. ma ny changes are visible. Since then a decade has passed, and the directory of your front like a broken dream is no more, telling in' mournful dirge the de cay of a I noble Institution whose principles yet live and which again will be solved in another form, and come to the surface world, with a knowledge ground ed deeper. j How sad in-retrospect! When we view it in dispassionate light it seemeth that the Grange was too pure in its principles to battle with the abstract vagariesof dem agogues, political fanatics and pol- icy servers. ( Upon the ruins of the Grange the Alliance came, and like a mighty , avalanche swept every tiling before it; but behind the hidden portals of the inner tem ple political paternalism raised its hydra head, a principle which nev er permeated the hearts of true Patrons; and to-day, where is the Alliance? It's gone "where the wood-bine twine th, with none to regret or do it reverence. I di- gress. I see, you advocate the same principle of yore: The greatest good to all, and the f undamental principles of a true Republican Government the educa-ion of the masses. Tli ree-fourths of the children of our country, if they get an ed ucation at all, it will be through the com mon schools, and if the ed ucational sentiment continues as at present., I predict that in coin ing years, out unassuming School Houses, dotting thehill-side and the vale, the bareen savannas and the wood-land, will be pointed Ui tut; jt;v t;i vjx u 1 intuit; iviu lilKjLl v cell til. vjw vJii in ytnii iivjijxkj work, and may your guideboard lead to lovely meads, and pastures green. Xo doubt you would like to learn of us and our doings, way down here '-where the eastern banks of our county is washed by the rip ples of the placid Chowan. The election is over, and the Demo crats carried pur county; but the Pops are jubiliant over Republi can supremacy in State and Xa tion. They sit upon the fence and sing the grass-hoppers song: '-In the wheat bye and bye. " ' The low prices of cotton and pea-nuts are depressing to our people, but we will have hog and hominy, and like Baucho's ghost. we will not down, besides tobacco is coming to the front, and many of our farmers say. no more cot ton for them. In the eastern part of our town ship, in an area of not more 'than two miles square, there have been between fifty and a hundred hogs heads of tobacco raised the pres ent year. ! . One farmer, as an experiment, put 'in three acres. His expenses all told were 8120. and will sell his crop for ;?r00. This is from three acres and no fancy sketch. Xow, if the Pops don't get in here, and cause a fusion between 1 1 " i . . --I, ! uacce anu uiiers: we win never down, as long as the smoke of the golden weed ascendsheavenward. and the old codger delights in his quid.

Kee and Cru soe Williams! committee in Dis trict No. 10, s stating that the statement made in a communica tion we published last week that they had employed a teacher was an error. They say they have not employed! one yet and will give due notice when they do so. Prof. P. W Moore.' Principal of the State Normal School at Eliza beth' City, X. C, writes that he has a number of first and second grade teachers in his school who desire work for the winter to en able them to complete the course at the Normal. If you are in need of a teacher write to him. His school has a high reputation and he could not afford to send any but faithful workers., The following story is told by an exchange of a minister of the Episcopal Church tra velingSoutli. who met a citizen who claimed that he Was an Episcopalian. 'To what parish dOyou belong?" -Don't know nuthin' bout any parish. V was his aiisiver, -Well, to what diocese do you belong?" I inquired. -There ain't nuthin' of that sort in this part of the country that I ever heard of," he replied. "But who confirmed you?" I said. j -Nobody," he said. -But didn't you tell me you were an 'Episcopalian?" I asked, in astonishment 'Oh, yes. rsaid the old man. I'll tell ye how it is. , Last spring I went down to Xew Orleans vis itin and wliilip I was 'there I went ter church, and it happened to be an Episcopalian one, and among other things I heard 'em say they'd left! undone them things they'dough ter done, and done them things they hadn't oughter done: and I said to myself, That's jest my fix, too, ' and since then I've always considered myself an Episcopalian. ""Well," said I, as I shook the old man's hand, iif your ideas of an Episcopalian are correct we the largest denomination in t a BULL-PENS." MR. N. A.

It is not necessary that such walls should be erected for leopIe to go behind, to vote, and therefore it is not right to compel the citizens of the county to pay taxes - for the erection of such miserable dens, j In 1HJ2 there was '13. 72 paid out for lumber furnished for elec tion purposes at One precinct; counting eleven precincts in the county and this amount .mid for election purposes at each pre cinct would amount to 150.92.
