When soon after dawn we rise in the morn,
Slightly bed-worn, and the mind in a knot.
How we raise to the lip and lovingly sip.
From cup of good coffee'just smokingly hot!
When just from a tramp the air' chill and damp
And under the lamp we fall on the cot,
Can anything servers, or bracingly nerve us,
Like cup of good coffee, just smokingly hot?
When worn out in thinking, we begin shrinking
From the unlinking some intricate plot,
How grateful we savor, the delicate flavor,
Frpm cup of good coffee, just smokingly hot! '
Then away with the spatter of hygienic matter,
'Tis all utter utterly rot; i '.J''1
There is no other season to brace up the reason,

As a Field for Investment
Views of Minister Ransom
and Judge Walter Clark.
Nothing is more sincere or less
sentimental than capital. Whith
er capital Sows in a steady, ever-
widening I and ever-deepening
stream, there must be good cause
for it Men who are shrewd
enough to amass large fortunes
and keep them are usually men
of sound judgment. When such
men send their capital to foreign
parts in preference to investing
it more immediately within their
own supervision in tneir own
euuutiy, i l is guuu pruui lul iu

In a special consular report re

ment of the United States, en
titled "Money and Prices in For

Hon. M. W. Ransom, U. S. minis
ter to Mexico, reports: "It is not
extravagant to say that in the
last 10 years citizens of the Unit-
ed States have invested in Mexi-
co, in mines, railroads, lands, and
other undertakings, sums much
larger in the aggregate than the
whole amount of money in circu-

The spirit of party is blind.
Its votaries, neither learn nor
forget anything. The Grange, a
strictly nonpartisan farmers or
ganization, saw the danger and
sounded the alarm. According
to the official report for 1886 the
president of the United States
exercised his right of veto in that
year 116 times against bills, reso-
lutions, and orders of the
different kinds. Rocked in the
cradle of party and blinded by its
spirit, .with a little careful sprink-
ling of bird lime by the money
nower.i wp behold this man amin
in the presidential chair and his
election celebrated by bonfires
and illuminations.
The first act of the legislature
of North Carolina was tnmnrat
i
ulate the tjeoole of the State and
country at large upon the election
of so great a man to the Presi
rlpnp.v
j
That legislature in its wisdom
wjth great judgment and fore
sint at once proceeded to enact
a state banking law for North
Carolina to take effect immediate
y OQ the issue of the state banks
No King of England for more
than 200 years, has dared to ex-
crr , j t a
ercise his right ot veto to annul
an act of the people's representa
tives. But what is that to the
yeomanry of this land who are an-
aachists? What do we want with
representati ves anyhow exceptas
a matter of mere form?
In the future we may, it seems,
as well send in the names and let
them drow their 5,000 dollars in
sound money at home, or the
7,500 as proposed by a bill in
Congress the past week.

The Distressing Condition
of Our Public Schools.
In a recent editorial we showed
that the condition of our public
schools is deplorable, distress-
ing and alarming. We desire to
add more evidence. If it seems
that we are defaming North Car-
ojina, we pled that it is the only
hvav to remedy the condition of
which her people ought.to be
mada ashamed. North Carolina
will never rise half to her real
stature until she has strength-
ened her system of educating the
children within her;borders, the
very marrow of her hope. These
are no theories, no guessing; we
are face to face with distressing
conditions. There is not even a
hheory of relieving these condi-
1 :
tl0ns; th 1S perfectly plain:
- 1 tne General Assembly has only
i . o a
to obey tne Constitution of North
Carolina-which has been in ef-
feet since 1868, and in respect of
the schools of North Carolina has
never been carried out The It seems to us that the expen
Constitution is the Magna Charta ses of the sheriffs and -the treas

people do not think education
amounts to much anyhow; and
they do not make their children
