THE LETTER OF THE Sl'PEH INTEKOENT OF Pl'BI.IC INSTRICTION, Which our readers will find published on our first page, apiears to have leen suggested by comments in Thk Citizen on that "bill of abominations" the Blair bill, leading up to the exposure of the ed ucational wants of North Carolina. For the supply of these, Major Finger, as well as everyone else who knows us, we have alwaysmanifested thesincerest con cern. It is not a debatable question, that bctweenthe perpetuity of ignorance, and the diffusion of education, common sense, common humanity, common inter est, promply enlist themselves on the side of the latter. But as a means of er petuating the "civil and religious lilwr ties" to which Major Finger refers, and which are proposed to be secured by the enactment of the Blair bill, in what atti tude, in relation to those liberties, would such bill place us? Civil lilierties se cured by the enactment of unconstitu tional measures; religious liberties by debauching the moral sense of the people by making them mean dependents on the bounty of the government and recip ients of a fund accumulated by partial favors extended to special interests, by rapacity and by injustice. Now, we arc not disposed to accept any part of this fund as condonation for the wrong incidental in its accumulation. Hon est, fair, economical, national policy would forbid its being in the treas ury. Its existence there is constant temptation in its use for sinister purpose under the plausible pretext of generous regard for universal good. The very plausibility of the purpose to aid educa tion constitutes the danger. It is insid ious and deceptive in its movement. The people are attacked on their weak side Thcv feel the necessities of education ; and they believe that ignorance is to be enlightened by liberal application ol money, and that money not to come out of their own resources. It is very tempt ing; but themonev does come outof their own pockets. They are robbed without knowingit, and are asked to be grateful when the robbers propose to share with them some of the ill gotten spoil. Major Finger certainly does not pre sent a very flattering picture of the rela tion of educational effort in North Caro lina in comparison with that of some other States. As he is Superintendent ol 1'ublic Instruction, we accept his state ment. The fault is not with the people; it is with legislation. The people are eager for enlarged educational facilities; they are able to extend them ; they would gladly, we believe, authorize the increase of the school tax to double or treble its present limit. Such taxation would not be felt as a burden. If there is any return in monev raised by taxation, it surely is in that which repays a thousand fold in the substitution of general intelligence for intellectual darkness. But every one knows the hue and cry raised by the dem agogue when the question of taxation conies up. Answering here a question propounded by Major Finger, "Do you mean to say that the Democratic press is a unit for public education in a more liberal sense than the present system indicates?" we say that with the details of the present system we can have nothing to do, since they are defined by laws which legislative power alone can affect, and that there tore we can make no present practical suggestion for "public education in a more literal sense." We havc.no reason to complain of the system so far as we know it, and so far as it goes. It is suffi ciently liberal in its branches for all prac tical purposes. We would find an educa tion practically a useless one that would give all pupils the learning college grad nates are assumed to acquire. If there be fault in instruction, that is a fault that monev will not amend unless the breed of college professors be enormously multi plied and they work at the low rates of ('erman teachers. There would seem to be schoolsenough in the country to teach all the children to whom they are accessible. The trouble is the short terms of the schools, made dependent on an inadequate school fund And we answer another of Major Fin ger's questions in regard to the increase of such fund by emphatically saying "yes." That is the true solution of the question, prompt, manly, independent. It would be to mistake the character of the North Carolinian to believe that he has lost the traits ol his forefathers, who, amid the confusion of war, provided for the wants of education ; and who would in time of peace and prosperity neglect it, or had so far lost their ancestral spirit of indeiendence as to receive as a boon provision for the education of their chil dren at the hands of others. Relief for the situation lies with the people themselves, lies with their earnest interest in education, lies in their readi ness to make some sacrifices to provide for it, and must come through large addi tion to the school tax. And we are glad Major Finger has show them themeager ness of their present contribution. The State is now rich enough to do infinitely better than that, or else on questions of progress and increase of wealth she should be silent and ever after hold her peace. A tip on winning the human race Lift your hat to the ladies. Our astute friend of the Hendersonville Times complains that we gave no proof to sustain the charge that "the party now known as the Republican is the di rect inheritor of the principles of Federal ism," etc. We do not propose in current writing to stop to make affidavits of the accuracy of assertions like the above too plain for contradiction or controversy. Federalism in the course of descent has changed names as many times as a Chi cago belle in going through her successive divorce courts. It would be as profitless a labor to trace the genealogy of that party as it would be to trace up the ped igree of a Maltese Jack to fix the identity ofsjwcics. The long ears and the reso nant bray will always proclaim from what stock he came. Now, we do not mean to disparage the Republican parly by the illustration; for abstractly, we respect it as the exponent of the early divergence of public thought and consti tutional construction in the early days of the republic. We do not admire the principles the early Republicans took under another name. They had a linger ing affection for ni'narchy, or for a strong government, and one splendid in its expenditures on whatever was to illustrate the power and grandeur of the new nation. Failing ill that, they adop ted as a compromise course, a very lati tudinarian construction of the constitu tion under which they might do anything that was desirable. This is precisely the position of the present Republican party, with a frequent outcropping of the old idea of a consolidated, central, strong, it not monarchical, government. We cannot foresee the outcome of the trial of the Lexington lynchers. We do not anticipate the conviction of a single offender. But we would not argue from that that the jieople of Davidson ap prove of the crime of lynchingJcr se. W e would infer that it was the natural ex pression of sympathy with friends un wisely, perhaps unwarily drawn under the influence of asentimentnotaltogether criminal into the commission of an of fence for which the law has no indul gence, and which the best judgment sternly condemns. Hut if there lie no con viction in any of these eases, immense good is done by the presentation of the machinery of the law, not always to be used without effect. The fact is demon strated that lynching will not be toler ated as a popular amusement, that men cannot frivolously take human life into their hands to make sport of it; that they cannot contemptuously set aside the solemn forms of law, and mete out justice after their conception of it. They will pause when they are taught that the end to them may be the gloomy experience of the prison, the fearful ordeal of the trial, the stern severity of the judge; and not improbable, the hideous spectre of the gallows. With such alternatives presented, lynching will hardly be resorted to heed lessly ami hastily, when justice can be executed through its regular channels. In connection with our comments on the letter ol Hon. . I,. M. Curry on the Blair bill, we find an editorial in the Nashville American of the 'JSih which takes substantially the same position as ours. We quote only that portion ot the editorial which asserts, as we have done, the ability, and also the duty of the sev eral States of the South to take care ol themselves and supply their own educa tional wants. The American says: In conclusion we will venture to sug gest to Mr. Curry that the Southern States arc not poor enough either in purse or in spirit to go begging tor money to support their domestic institutions. The South has risen from the rums ol war by its own unaidcl efforts, in spite of all that calumny and hostile legisla tion could do to prevent it. This is one of the proudest chapters in its historv And now when its progress is the uni versal theme, and when prospentv knocking at its door, cranks and dema gogues would have it sully this proud recora oy becoming a ourglar or a men dicant. No, thank you, Mr. Curry. He Loved HiM Doe. Philadelphia Enquirer. I see, said a well known actor last night in the Girard house cafe, that the Chinese theatre was closed last week because the leading actor had lost his cat and couldn't stop his search for it long enough to apenr upon the boards That reminds me of the early days in San Francisco, when Walt Fosnell, a local tuvorite in, heroic roles, lost his magnificent water spaniel. The animal was his only companion, and he lavished his affection upon it. One day the dog aisappearea, ami no one couiti tmd trace of it. Oosnell was then in high invor, any ne drew crowded nouses, al though he never had anv reputation out side of that citv. He started out in the afternoon to find the animal, and, find ing a clew, followed it up, and by eight o ciock, wnen ne snouia nave Been readv to go on the stage, he was nine miles from the theatre, and the manager was tearing nis hair in desperation at his non appearance. A substitute win put on, but he was hissed off the stage, and the theatre was closed at the end of the second act. Meanwhile Walt had found his dog dead at a cabin outside the citv limits, where it had been taken by itscaptor and killed necause it sliowei a vicious disposition Walt never appeared on the stage again Dr. Parker Prays cream Van-Ola, Rosa line, Ongaline and Diamond nail powder having now become the ladies', favorites, at F.
