THE STAfiDARD.
JAMES P. COOK,
Editor.
Thursday, - November 5, 1S91.
A LITTLE EABLT.
The Concord Standard is making
a vigorous effort for a reform school.
But the Standard is a little early.
Mr. Cook should remember that he
should not purchase a spring wagon
ii the fall of the year.
The reform school should come
and come at the first opportunity.
But when we remember that the
legislature is a long ways off when
we know that to secure a reforma
tory it takes legislative action why,
it is amunition widely spent to
advocote the question now.
After the legislature has been
elected ; after we know to whom to
direct our efforts, then the Globe
will howl loud and long for such as
11 r. Cook proposes.
It was unnecessary for Mr. Cook
to cite the fact that about a year
ago he was in jail. It was there
that he saw a boy who had once been
his pupil. Mr. Cook forgets to state
that he was only a visitor at the
jail leaving the impression that
justice had been avenged. But she
had not.
There is no reason why we Bhould
not hare a reform Bchool and why
the boys who go wrong could not be
placed there and the girls in the
same boat paddle the same stream.
The hardened criminal never did
a young boy any good. He never
will.
A reform school is needed and all
the papers of the state should
buckle up their boot legs and com
mence to sit square in the saddle for
it.
But the time is not here yet
Wait about eight or nine months.
Durham Globe.
For nsual subjects that come up
for legislation the Globe's sugges
tion would be correct and wise.
Some reforms can be proposed and
acted on at once. Men go to the
legislature with no purpose and no
aim, except to satisfy a craving for
Legislative honors. There are men,
who would pay the county $500
possibly to get credentials that
would entitle them to seats in th
Legislature with all the perquisites
and privileges attached. Such men
do not possess minds that naturally
grasp movements looking towards
reforms. They only hope to intro
duce several bills of a minor ana
insignificant class and thereby save
their records from being total
blanks.
We submit to the press of the State
and to Brother Col. Fairbrother that
the movement looking to the estab
lishment of a Reformatory involves
a radical change from past systems
in the State. We believe that every
thinking man, who takes time to
study the situation and sees the
results of associations, will agree
that the State has not done its duty
in providing for the proper treat
ment of youthful criminals.
Again, no radical change in sys
tems ever comes about, except when
public opinion first becomes aroused.
A movement like this must have
the people behind it It must be
held up to the people by the press
and the pulpit. To do this, requires
time. Don't you see, brother ? We
can not wait until the Legislators
are elected. We want them to know
it when on the hustings to make
them feel that we are in earnest
about the matter, they must see,
know and feel that the people
demand it.
The State Press can place this
matter before the public and get the
people to thinking. Too early ! No,
sir! Let us howl now !
RIGHT KMART ST IFF.
Mies lluth Cleveland, the oldest
and only daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
G rover Cleveland, is attracting con
siderable attention. It is possibly
more than has been accorded to any
female kid before. It is a little tire
come. Our county pride makes us
somewhat jealous ; there are many
kid3in this county just as pretty
and lovely as Miss Ruth.
The climax, in this crazy lauda
tion and newspaper notoriety-freak,
is reached by the "Once a Week"
magazine. The first page shows
Mrs. Cleveland in a sitting posture
with the kid, Miss Ruth, on htr
lap. This is no harm, 'tis true ; but
the picture shows the kid to have a
suite of hair, thick and about three
inches long. This is overdrawn, for
we know aorae men forty years of
age who have no hair at all.
JCEBK'" TOCB WATIOXALTAX.
The United States levies a tax of
$7.41 per capita.
This is th standard's text today.
This amount ueaos that the gov
ernment of this country cost an
amount equivalent to $7.41 for
eTery man woman and child, of all
colors That is just what it means.
It may mean that a man, who has
wife and four .children, pays
Ilepaysthis to support a Preei
.lent, his cabinet, the Supreme
Court, the Congress, for the facili
ties this country gives, for revenue
officers and for pensions for Yankee
soldiers 8nd Yankee cowards.
He pays this when he buys hats
clothing, traces, tin cups, and other
things necessary. The rich man
pays some of this tax, too, but in
proportion not so much. For what
he buys and wants the powers that
be see fit to make the burden lighter.
Don't you think if the money
necessary to ruu this government
were collected direct from the peo
ple that the records of Congressmen
would be studied more closely and
that the pensioners would be placed
in a clear light before us all and
that the robbery of the Tariff sys
tem would be forcibly revealed ?
You dread the county and State
tax collector, but the United States
tax collector is with you ever in his
robbery by means of the nefarious
Tariff.
THE MEMO PARH MAGICIAX.
Mr. Thomas A. Edison enjoys
an international reputation as the
foremost electrician of the age,
and has hitherto conducted him
self in such a manner as to do
credit to his raising. In the survey
of the unexplored fields of science
now going on 3Ir. Edison is carrying
the front end of the chain, and his
worn enemies must admit that he
is doing it well.
But, the constant strain, to which
a mind like Mr. Edison'B is subject
ed, has its effect at last, and the
great wizard begins to show symp
toms of fallibility. He begins to
have that tired feeling in the use of
the truth which ordinary men expe
rience when to tell the truth would
damage themselves.
In an interview, reported in an
other column of the Standard, Mr.
Edison says he found that every
farm had a gold mine on it This
statement is important, if true, and
makes a good showing for a State
hitherto supposed to run mainly
to tar and moonshine whiskey, but
he hastens to check any undue ela
tion upon our part by qualifying the
statement by the remark that the
gold, if it ever existed in large
quantities, has been taken out. As
mines are valuable mainly for what
is in them, and not for what has
oeen, this qualified statement of Mr.
Edison naturally leads to the infer
ence that our mines, like some peo
ple, are no better than they should
be.
This assertion that he nowhere
founl gold enough to pay can only
be properly weighed when we know
how much Mr. Edison's process
costs. It may possibly be true that
our mines would not pay if worked
by his process, and the same might
be true of the Californian or Aus
tralian fields. But the fault is not
in the mines, and Mr. Edison shows
that he thinks, himself, that his
alleged discovery is a failure, for
after giving it a trial on our ores, he
made no further effort to get gold
out of anybody's ore. If Mr. Edison
were a judge of the value of ores, his
action in this case would be a boom
starter for North Carolina gold
fields.
But Mr. Edison found thecoantry
too far from Menlo Park, and, con
sequently, too much out of the
world for a civilized man of his style
to settle in, and so he concluded to
go back to New Jersey and devote
his attention to iron, for the reason
that there is more money in iron
than in gold.
There are some other things to
which Mr. Edison might possibly
turn his attention with beneficial
results. There are some things more
valuable even than iron, though
there isn't as much money in them,
and it might be well, even for so
important an individual as Mr.
Edison, to put a little spare time in
the rudiments, at least, of civility
and veracity.
We hope that Tom will take our
advice kindly and show that he means
to profit by it in subscribing to the
Standard, where he will always find
these virtues taught
THET ARE DOING WELL.
The two young men, W. M. and
E. B. Shernll, editors and proprie
tors of the Lexington Dispatch, are
succeeding admirably. The paper
shows life well, they, the youngest
at the business in the State, are full
of courage and vim.
WHAT THE COtJHTRY HEEDS.
What the country most needs is a
party that will devise measures
whereby the people will be enabled
to get out of debt, and once getting
out to stay out It is somewhat to
be feared that the adoption of a
policy for the encouragement and
facilitation of money-borrowing and
the perpetuation of a larger debtor
class, with bankrupt accompani
ments, would not be good for the'
country. Elkin Courier.
I his need of the country, as the
Courier de-Cnes it, cannot be brought
about by any party .other than the
individual person. You can ntl
legislate prosperity into people any
more than o can legislate good
morals into thein. The "measures
whereby people will be enabled to
get out of debt, and once getting
out, to stay out" must be devised by
each man for himself. And whether
by this method or that, every one
must solve, the problem for himself.
Gold Leaf.
Success does depend in a great
measure upon the efforts of an indi
vidual. But to succeed or even sur
vive in a decent manner under some
legislative enactments requires an
;ron stomach and an indifferent
heart
To say that the thousands who are
suffering and growing poorer daily
owe it to their own efforts, is putting
it unjustly, and in a way that facts
do not guarantee.
Do you know the money is drift
ing all drifting to a territory
where not even the producers live?
When an ice-bound region has $14
on deposit to $1 in the land of al
most perpetual sunshine and growth,
there is surely something wrong.
Smoke this : There are not as many
as two in fifty in this country that
are making more than a living. Do
the people work ? Why ask such a
question ?
WHERE IS GBEATSEM ?
In these degenerate days these
days when the living howl over the
graves of those who are dead well,
it makes some people tired.
In the matter of the Gradj monn
ment there was an exhibition which
was at best a parody on what peo
pie generally believe to bo the right
thing.
The editor of the Globe, with as
much right to an opinion as any
other man, wrote the New York
Morning Advertiser the following
letter which we want to submit to
our readers as well, and which was
printed in that paper Saturday
morning.
WHO WAS HOKORED?
To the Editor of the Morning Ad
vertiser :
In the Sunday Advertiser
noticed an extract from the Atlanta
Constitution which reads as follows.
and which had reference to the un
veiling of the Grady monument or
statue at Atlanta, Ga., last week :
Governor Hill looked out upon
the crowd in amazement
( 4 VC Vi nii A tiav oil rrma f rri m
he asked of Mr. Northen.
"Atlanta is a big town, and
Georgia is a great State," responded
Mr. Northen. "Our people love a
Democrat who is a Democrat"
It was an lm i ense mass of hu
manity. Those who witnessed both
say e,en the memorable Cleveland
crowd was no larger. Marietta
street waspacVed from the Kimball
House up above the custom house,
aid the crowd extended deep out
into all the side streets.
Governor Hill could not feel other
than honored by this great mass of
people.
Now, two questions present them
selves very forcibly, and it is my
desire that you answer them :
Did Governor Hill mean to in
sinuate that there were no people in
Georgia, and did the esteemed Con-
titution mean to insinuate that
the crowd was drawn alone by
Hill's presence ?
Was Grady in it, or was his
memory in it ? It must be remem
bered that loving men and women
contributed to the fund which made
the statue possible; the people of
Georgia had assembled, presumably,
to do honor to the gifted son who
hal died, and whose memory in
bronze and granite was to be com
memorat d ; that Governor Hill only
left his State in the hands of Jones,
who pays the freight, as an invited
guest, and not as the star actor in a
political Catherine. When we re
member that Grady was beloved and
honored in Georgia above all men
within the confines of his State ;
when we remember that Grady was
known in that State, where Hill
had not been mentioned, I want to
know if, indeed, the event was an
honor to Hill or an honor to the
late Henry W. Grady ? The Con
stitution, esteemed though it is, was
the paper which'glowed with Grady's
genius, and it was his master mind
which builded it to its magnificent
proportions. If a great man must
die in order to draw a crowd to give
a politician a chance to flatter him
self that the crowd came to see him,
the hearse will please drive to the
next hitching post I cannot con
sent to "eive up the ghost" under
such conditions.

official document entitled the "U.

post office department containing
an alphabetical list of all the post

selection of these names.
Macon has a "Scaly" and a "Short

RUSSELL ELECTED.
Boston. Mass. Nov. 3. On
account of the rew law passed by
the last legislature requiting votes
to be counted by t vo different offi

returns are coming in more slowly
from all sections of the State than
ever before, although electoral
machinery was never in more perfect
condition than in 'the present elec

towns show net Republican gains
of 708, or fourteen per town over
last year. On this basis the Repub
lican gain in the 353 towns of the
Slate would be 4,942. Last year
Governor Rmsell's plurality in the
State was 9,053. Indications so far
from large cities are that he has held
his pluralities of last year and that
he is elected by at least four thous md
plurality. The balance of the Re
publican State ticket is undoubtedly
elected. As returns of only fifty
towns are now in, it is utterly impos
sible to give any idea of the complex
