It is an effort to improve jbr amend the law now in operation tUeved to be full of holes. The aim soight is to pass a bill that ' will be of bebeflt to the country. There is no doubt whatever that the present law is extrjemely, defective. Under it a very undesirable class,; of immigrants for the most part, have been coming: in. The country is filling up with peo ple from the old world who are not fit for citizensilp here, and who have no conceptions whatever of our system of government Mllliois' are of us but are not wlth us. They still look to their, old homes as their chosen land, and while living here, enjoying what ever of prosperity and protection that comes to them, are not truly identified with the Institutions and care but little for the "land of the free and the home of the brave." There are great, press ing evils now demanding attention erowing out of the dumping business, bringing bvjer ship loads of immigrants, ignorant, Vicious, paupers many, and perhaps of! the criminal class at home to a considerable extent. "What is to be done? Shall the only laws' cont: amended, should an j nue or shall It be well Put up the bars. "Why American born citizen be to live here twenty-one compelled years befofe he can vote, and an ig norant, ddpraved foreign born man come In ajid ; vote in six or twelve months? Ex-SenatOE Ingalls not long ago lectured at Atlanta. He evoked loud applause when he declared that no man sjhould vote in this country who couldj not read the constitution under whifch he lived. Our free insti tutions the perservation of liberty itself, deflend upon the character of the peophj. Public virtue and intelli gence are the foundations of liberty and the guarantee of perpetuity. It is easy tcj make laws, but the grand- ure and lllessings and safety I of a na tion after? all depend upon the char acter of tttie government. i It is intended by the friends of the movement in the congress to amenu the - immigration law so as to require citizenship to depend upon reading and wri of the of this he , must ing either the language country i of nativity or country. In other words have the foundations of Is this unfair? Is it not Education really rtecessary? ; Our government structure cannot rest on ignorance, . .ani-it would not long survive univer sal ignorance. It is not that the immi- grant shall read and write to vote, but to come 'to be taken in. as a dweller in our land. The Jacksonville Times Union gives this view: "There, is .abjection to this feature, but it seems to us that It is none too stringent.) The foreign . immigrants who cannot read or write his-own language is usually very low in the social scale of his own country. Eu rope as a whole has an educational system that places elementary .knowl edge irr reach of every class, and those who fail to take advantage of it are usually of the class that fill the prisons and workhouses." We all know how the south has been made to suffer Toy enfranchising Ignor ant mftlions. We all know the bale of vicious and depraved electors. While the people are annually taxed hundreds of millions to educate their own chil dren, is Jit too hard or severe to de mand that foreigners coming must bring with them the fundamentals of education? That they should at least be educated enough to read and write. This country does not need" any Influx of criminals and paupers of other lands for already It has quite enough of its own-more actually than it can provide for. It is doubtless true that thousands i of paupers and criminals Viave bppni shinned by European so cieties to dump them upon our shores We believe that a change in the law is imperatively needed. If the crimi nal class and the pauper class, and the stolid ignorant class continue to be brought over by steamship loads where will it end, where can it end but in a great increase of crime here, a lowering of the standard of citizenship, enlarging the burdens, spreading the contagion of crime by evil examples, increasing the cost of government, and smiting the land with a. curse? We are in thorough agreement with the opin ion of the Florida paper that "a' rigid (investigation of the resources and mental and moral character of the im migrant, with a strict embargo upon all who are not qualiBed to become good citizens, is. the only way to remedy the evil that Is now spreading distress among the honest labor of this country and building up a vast army of tramps and vagrants to prey upon the people.' BUSINESS FOB JANUARY. Trade continues dull and disappoint ing.' ruin's Weekly is trying to put on a cheerful face and essays, a low song of hope and talks of Improvement if slow. Its last issue, of last Saturday, says "progress is slow." Yea, verily ' in "these diggings" and in almost ir. every section of the South. Hear the hopeful, cheerful Dun: , "Moreover, there are multitudes throughout the country who have been taking large ventures in advance or of apart from their regular business, be cause they expected a rise in prices. But prices fail as yet to bring them profit. Wheat has declined severely, cotton has scarcely risen enough to pay brokerage, wool holds steady in spite of enormous buying, woolen goods hard ly, change in price.iron and its products decline.leather is sluggish,hides are low er for some shoe manufacturers accept a shade lower prices the average of railroad stocks is slightly lower than it was December 31st, and the advance in trust stocks has been small.". Those are jindeei tut poor signs of the rosy dawn, presaging a new and most prosperous day. But keep on hoping, keep a stiff upper-lip and look for the often promised '''good times coming."- We shall rejoice if they shall soon put in helr appearance. For three months trade journals and gold papers have been prophesying of prosperity, and hundreds j said "Behold, it has come." Dun be it said, Insists there Is very real improvement. It sees the signs and avers that the revival wheels are actually' turning now if something low. ' -Money U sonrested In the north in New York particularly.. It la hard to lend at 3 per cent. In the south and west money is prodigiously scarce many are in need. In the west the re ports are of great depression, no mon ey, and tens of thousands witn no bread. In Louisiana even, in one sec tion, there is a seriously threatened famine. Corn selling at 7 cents a bush el is the forerunner of poverty. North ern spinners are taking less cotton than a 'year ago. Railroad earnings in January were 4.8 per cent, less than for January 1896. For last week there wer 331 failurse according to Dun. Last year there were 404 The liabil ities were $11,913,637. -. The . south lur- r lshed 74 against 117 last year. That shows improvement. But this may be because of the very large, failures for ,.ri wMkR. and it la time for a charge. ' ... HOMES .FOLKS. There is strong opposition reported to Governor Russel's message con cerning the lease of the North Carolina railroad. It may so develop as to cause the defeat of the plan to defeat the lease. '. We had supposed that the repeal would be popular with legisla tors and with a majority of white folks. ' . , - I . - The plan -to abolish the railroad com mission is popular with the radicals in the legislature. It has been of very genuine practical service to the state as the messages of Governors Holt and Carr, practical business men, show very clearly. The latter said: 'The tax returns In 1 the auditor's office upon the establishment of the commission show the railroad property returned for taxation to have been about $12,000,000; the present taxable value is about $25,000,000 more than double. The commission has been ac tive in seeing that every species of property liable to taxation coming under its jurisdiction was placed upon the tax books. Many steamboats here tofore untaxed and even the Pullman cars running through the state are now taxed." There is a bill before the legislature that should not pass. It is to deprive the most useful firemen of the state of the $2,500 given to them each year under an act passed in 1891. It is a re lief fund for sick firemen and Is used for no other purpose. We heartily en dorse the measure of relief and hope the proposition to repeal the act will be defeated. It Is a small sum, 'but affords relief to incapacited firemen from injuries received or sick. The Asheville Citizen, is considerate and humane In saying: l i ; "A repeal of this law wouid be wrong. There are lew, it any paia firemen iiin North Carolina. These guardians of our homes and property endanger life and limb by their service, and certainly a fund collected as this is should not be diverted from its pres ent use. It is hot much, but it might save some brave fellow from want. We move that the bill do not pass." We see no objection to paying any negroes a pension by the state, who be came disabled while serving the south! the great war. A negro senator has introduced a bill looking to. this end.l We do not know the number of this class, but whether ten or fifty or more, if negroes were really disabled while in the service of the confederate gov ernment they should not be overlooked now. Many of us know of the devo tion, the fidelity, the courage of ne groes who followed their masters to the war. They did this too from a personal affection, and not from any special knowledge of the principles en tering into the bloody conflict that so stirred, animated, enthralled the gal lant whites in the south. We would be 'gratified to see the services of faith ful', loyal colored men duly acknowl edged by the legislature,- and some provision made, for them. It is just it is right, it fs humane. ' There is much activity Just now ' to show to the world what a state of ig aorance is North Carolina. North Carolina is held up as something of a missionary ground for teachers and is being very near the end of the alpha bet in illiteracy. It is placed las y In the alphabet. It may be, true and yet North - Carolina is not mof e ignorant than some parts of the north where there is much more wealth and but few negroes. In the ; great, rich state of New York there are 350,000 children, we think it is, who do- not attend school. It Is said that in North Caro 'ina over 200,000 children do not attend school. The Messenger all along, when but few papers favored It, urged a larger school fund, better teachers, longer . terms, and more comfortable school houses. 'It would like to see North Carolina give at least $1,000,000 to state school education. There is ?reat illiteracy in this state, and no little in many other states.

We were examining with some inter est the proceedings of the last North Carolina conference. Southern Metho- list E. Church. We found some sta tistics of general interest, and some that will interest specially many read ?rs of The Messenger. The Wilming .on district, as is the nomenclature' of Methodism, contains more members than any of the eight districts 8,617 increase in one year, 480. It has five colored members. There were 728 pro esslons of faith, and 378 removals by death and otherwise. There are 8? churches and 97 Sunday schools. Val ue of churches $121,475. There are 12 parsonages, valued $14,200. Other church property $2,550. In this city Grace church reports 659 members; Fifth street 496; Bladen street, 120; Market including Bethany in the country, 152 total for Wilmington omitting Beth any and giving Market Street 921,365 members. Grace averaged in contri butions per capita .$6.20; Fifth Street, $6.?5 Eladen $2.75. Market is put at $7.20, but it is more than that for Mar ket proper. Bethany is included in the stated averages. We suppose the ac tual average for Market Street is more than $9 perhaps as much as $10. In district the presiding elder was paid $1405.98.. with a furnished parsonage. Gracei paid preacher in charge $1,800 with parsonage; Fifth Street $1,600, with parsonage. There are eight other reg ular collections taken but we omit the amounts. Bladen and Market are helped from the mission fund of the conference. Grace had 360 scholars In Sunday school, 35 teachers, 661 volumes in library, amount collected $210.19. Fifth Street, 228 scholars", 300 volumes, and collected $121.18. Bladen Street, 13 teachers 60' scholars, 150 volumes, $41 00 collected. Can not give Market as it is included with the country church. SHEEP KILLING DOGS. Will a legislature ever assemble in North Carolina that will be brave enough to take sheep killing dogs by the-throat and say unto tlese devour ers i of -other people's flesh, you shall not wag your tails in the pastures of other people than your masters? -Rat their sheep, but you shall not proVl! It is pitiable to know that there is such .arrant cowardice and selfishness among the law makers. North Carolina is much adapted -; to profitable sheep growing and wool production, but-the hungry, mean dogs are in the way. They are common enemies. They eat off their heads and then kill the neigh bor's sheep. Will not this legislature make an effort to stop the depreda tions of dogs. You will see a family half starving with two or three hun gry dogs ready for predatory ; excur sions any night among the sheep the neighborhood. W'ith a proper dog law looking to the protection of sheep we do not doubt that a rapid growth would follow in sheep raising i etc. Why Is it that the ordinary legislator stands in -such awe of cur dogs? Is it the owners behind the "dargs?" When the real injury done is considered In dollars and cents, and the cost jo the people to feed so many worthless can ines, If is incumbent upon the law mak ers to adopt some measure of protec tion, that wool production - and sheep growing may be fostered. There is another aspect of the ques tion not without Importance. It Is the dangers from dogs to human beings. The Elizabeth -City News recently said: r -But latterly the dog question Is as an ml tip- a new nhaze. It Is the grow Ing frequency of cases of and, terrible deaths from hydrophobia. "There can be no doubt, we think, tvio tiwironriobia. is exeatlv on the in. must in this countrv. A Quarter of a century ago the, disease was very, very rare. - "Now, scarcely a day passes that a in nofc renorted some ' where. Of course, many of these are 'false alarms' but the indisputable cases are oi sum cient frequency to demand new laws, nr trie better inforcement of old ones. with reference to the roving ai large of dogs in this country. In fact, it can with reason, or truth, ratner, oe saia, that the dog owns. America.' PUBLIC OPINION. Governor Leedy. of Kansas, plumps a discreditable truth at the east When he. charses that the great cities along the seaboard refuse to provide suffi cient schools for their ohiloren. xnarc sort of accusation hurts because it is comwletelv and disgracefully true. Prod the effete east again, governor, xou ve found the weak spot in her armor. New York Mail and Express. A telegram from Raleigh states that "Judge Norwood, whose impeadhmiemt will be introduced in the legislature of Norh Carolina, Is penitent, i He writes that We will mend his ways if his past offences are overlooked." (This is the grave Judge wno sent a newspa per man to jail recently for presuming to criticise him. The higher court overruled him and now he to hauled up for chronic drunkenness. Lyncliburg News. . . I . Here's a state of 'things'. By ladtual count there are 15,000 husbands within the limits of Greater New York now under bonds to support their wives. These recreants have taken vows and assumed responsi bill tiea which they are too lazy, too indifnerent, too Inhuman to fulfill.

Twenty per cent, of these wives are under age; 50 per cent, contracted malt rimony while yet In their teens. New York Herald. Senator Hoar is criticised in seme quarters upon the assumption thlat he objected to public interest in the arbi tration treaty and public appeals to the senate on the subject. Senator Hoar did nothing of the. sort. These strictures illustrate the very mental habit he de plored. They show a tendency to rush into criticism and dogmatism without taking time - and pains to understand the question that Is involved. What Senator Hoar objected to was not pub tic interest in thetreaty, but public as sumption without examinfngr and not public appeals to the senate for the treaty, but public appeals to the senate to ratify it without taking time to con sider it. That is a very dirrerent thing1. Philadelphia Press. PUBLIC OP'NION. Tariff reform to evidently about to lose every vestige of leglslaltive achieve merit secured from twenty years of ag itation.

Springfield Republican If there is any one thing which, more than any other outside of the purely political elements of the situation. promises to distinguish the incoming administration, it, is democracy. The only aristocracy Which the president elect belongs to, if we are to Judge by his private as well as public acts, is the aristocracy of good breeding and good sense. One cannot read the tele graphic reports of the movements of Mr. McKtnley and his wife without being convinced of their unassuming, democratic Americanism. More than that, there has never been a president in all the long and honored line who more truly exemplified that which is oest,ana nignest m nome lire traan does the one to be inaugurated next March Indianapolis Journal.
