He Is given to extremes. The most sane and sen sible production we have seen fromTh'is pen is In The Po-u5n for April. It is entitled "Retrenchment or,. Ruin." It is precisely on th line of 'thought The Messenger has pi esented for month's. We have Insisted :hat it -was not high er taxation but a more rigid economy in expenditures th U this country need id and imuat have We contended that a proper regard fc r the people and the cessation of rUbbi ig them Iby grinding taxation 'was wh'a : 'the exigency of the situation Called f r and imperatively demanded, and ndt a huge, unjust, tn faimoiis protection) sefhem-e of plunder ing the poor for t he benefit 6f the in sattable rteh. A protective tariff Is neither Wise nor 'air, neither Just noT equal. j Mr. -Morton, a v estern man "with ex treme gold princi'i les, has a View as to the condition of this great country which we have tl ought, and said was correct that if e spenditures continue as they are and with a sure and steady tendency to incres se, that this country will be finally itn wvertsned and ruin ed. We recently sfciid that it rwas the imperative duty c f the public prefers to make .Constant, i nited war upon the , Wastefulnes's, wil l extravagance and reckless, appropri; itions of the federal government. Las. year and several times this year, The f Messenger has pointed out, dwe t upon the wide spread xetokles's e cperiditure and the only cure. It is tratifying to see one ex-dabinet official who fs able to dis cern the signs aid to lay his finger Upon the disease that is 'destroying. We will avail o rselves today df". a part of his Views and figures, as they are very much-of a. kind with what we have several time urged in these col umns. Professor Woodrow. Wilson in his excellent work on 'Congressional Gov- ' ernment" issued sfeveral years ago and w'as well received In this country .and in Great Britain, showed very clearly ent was almost en that our governm tirely one by corninittees. So effective is this,; that Speal :ef Reed, the repub lican Tsar of thi' house, has rput a barrier upon 'legrsiaupn in nip uojicu session to onside ra'ble extent 'by re fusing to appoint jorrimittees. It is of the. very greatest importance -to the people in selectin r rnernlbersr of the Congress (iboth ho lses) for they actu ally and positively govern and "by com mittees. Mr., Moripn understands this. It is a perversior Of the intent and plan of the framerfe of our government to set up a great governing power in, by and throng'h cotnmittees. iMr. Mor ton truly says that "the mass of- cifi aenShip never did! commit and never intended to commit to any legislative, i a i t i avoi.iij!vk pnimim Tt t Pf the j uuiLiai, jl i.alvu. . power to abridge, to Invade, or to de stroy any inherent citizenship." This adds with equal rights of Individual is well put, and he ruth: "The irtult'i n in the United tude of voting m States never intentionally cast 'bal lots in favor of thXing all of them selves, either d'iredly or indirectly, for the purpose of put ing money into the pockets of a few or themselves." And yet, all this is dor e. The rights are abridged;, the people are taxed in order to make richer aA arrogant, greedy. and, in many instances. unprincipled class. The ex-secretary states a conviction clearly, and emphatically in saying that "the day of retrenchment, or the day of ruin, for this government is awaiting the peop e of the United States in the riot remote future. We 'shall very soon 'sSep from the nine teenth 'into the twentieth century. 'We Shall carry with us either the germs of dissolution and de conserved energy.'

The great French revolution of the last century, was entirely tfheiout come of grinding takes to keep the peo ple down, living in squalor and pov erty. , 'We. insist upon a return to the fru gality, fidelity and honesty of the men Of the past. This 'is. a prime necessity,, and Mr. 'Morton sees it and insists up on It. He says thai "the cost of local governments must j'be lessened. Ad ministration of county- and city and village affairs must be made more and more businesslike and economical. In short, the fixed charges Of American Citizenship must 'be cut 'down. Today in many cf ties the Tates of taxation reach, fr'om 3 to 6 per cent lipon the assessed, valuation. - This is altogether unendurable. This creates discontent. This makes popular unrest." . True, every Word o'f It. The governmen has tost Its halance. originally taxation was simply to meet the ordinary, neces sary expenditures. That Was the price the people paid, eacb year for the main tenance of liberty and the protection of life and property. Now It is a govern ment tfor spoliation, for rewarding the 'henchmen of the party in power, for providing places for men whose patriot ism centres In the loaves and fishes most of them .s Morton says of others, "indolent, improvident," and in.teome cases Intemperate-and incapalble every 'Way. He well puts a point in this lan guage: ' .'. "And'not a 'few of those public debts for which, we now suffer terrfble .taxes were conceived and- suggested ly pro moters and speculators for their own profit. But the reasons for them, whiieh were served steaming: hot to the Vot ers, were the 'general welfare,' on'd the, delight of 'benevolently furnishtog the poor and unemployed with remu nerative work." It has come to pass that the number of eaters ait the United 'States govern ment pie counter amounts to nearly 200,000. It ba'a come to "be a govern WILMISeTON, N. C. WEDNESDAY APRIL 14, 1897. NEXT OR RUINX" ment of -waste, xA paternalism, of class favoritisma government of .the office (holders and for office holders and by office Holders, for the benefit of them selves ami tne ridh class they serve. Let jus again ftear from the ex -secretary at this point that should really interest all burden bearers. He Says; "Americans, If they sincerely wish to perpetuate the republic, must return to the ancient tfaith, that the sole busi ness ot the government Is to protect life, property, and liberty. They must spurn the doctrines of communism which, would have the government do everything v for everybody. , The tendency to depend upon govern ment or favors ifrom the distribution of prize package gratuities in the form of printed (books and cent-a-packet garden seeds to the .disbursement of millions of dollars upon harbors and rivers, the Waters of which are never shadowed Ty. a, sail, nor vexed iby a paddle wheel has 'been growing enor mously in recent years." These are timely words. Consider them. In another editorial we will 'dra w upon some tables (and comiments of the same writer, that are not new, for we have before this given much the same, but are mstructlve and import tank (Some of 'his opinion's and sug gestions miay foe briefly - reproduced also.

In the south the negroes are t aring a great deal better than northern' reli gious and anti-southern paters will al low. They always refer to the negroes being oppressed, denied their rights etc. In truth Sambo is on top of the fence, straddling and whooping and enjoying himself in a very hilarious way. The north somen how manages to waste a great deal , of sentimental sympathy at long range. Tom and Jim and Jemima in the north are not hav ing so much real liberty and the hur rah style as Pomp and Cuffee and Sally Ann in this land of corn bread and hog and hominy. We are reminded of this just now by the accounts of the Tuskegee institu tion in Alabama. The plan is novel, is wise, is well tested and most success ful. That unusually well furnished negro. Rev. Booker T. Washington, possibly the foremost manof his race now living, is at its head. It works ex cellently and the most intelligent white natives are its best friends. Sixteen years ago President , Washington (Booker not George) began business in an old church building and a shanty. Now these two have grown into thirty-eight buildings, many of them brick, situated on twenty-four hundred acres of land, and giving facilities to nearly nine hundred students. Last year these students made a million of bricks, and this year will turn out a larger number. Iron castings and steam engines, cabinet work and car pentry, carriages, harnesses, tin work, boots and shoes, tailoring, agriculture and stock raising, printing, drawing and' designing, millinery and dress making, are among the branches of in dustry pursued. That Is splendid progress, and the whites have given most efficient aid to it. Men of all classes and occupa tions praise the work. A writer telling of this noble work, its uplifting power, its broadening influence for good, says.- "What has kept them down is their 'ignorance, their improvidence, .their shiftlessness, their immorality. To teach them habits of industry, of thrift, of economy, of virtue, to make them self-reliant, self-respecting, diligent workingmen, able to compete on equal terms with white laborers, is the pith of the race problem not so much a question of color as of manhood. One southern gentleman in particular, a large land owner In a county where' the blacks are four to one of the whites, spoke very decisively to this point. He had visited Tuskegee himself, and had been so much impressed as to become the promoter of a negro school in his own town, getting Tuskegee teachers for it, and giving liberally toward its foundation at Snow Hill, Ala." Every humane, intelligent white man of southern birth will wish this and all similar enterprises abundant pros perity. ' God speed the head of this im portant practical working school and all his co-laborers and promoters is the hearty wish of The Messenger. Let such institutions be multiplied. But where r-can another Booker Washington be ound? While that disgrace to his responsible, office, Bishop Turner, deliv ers heated addresses and writes lurid and sulphurous letters inciting his black race'to a war of extermination, Booker Washington, a man of brains, of education, of character, and a Chris tian minister, seeks to elevate, human ize, Christianize his "brother in black." H urges all of his race he comes in contact with to practice morality, hon esty, economy and "not to keep an im moral minister or . teacher," a caution for "which there is too much cause. As baldness makes one look prema turely old, so a full head of hair gives to mature life the appearance of youth.

Governor Russell was criticised by The Asheville Citizen for making the people pay for .his staff's junketing to the McKinley "inauguration. He said he followed the example of Governor Carr. but admits that he did wrong and that if he had looked into it he would not have sanctioned the payment of the expenses of this Junketing trip. Well, that is frank. Do not copy bad examples and Vsin no more' We would not do Governor Russell a deliberate wrong, however much we may antagonize his course in several particulars. But he has pardoned , one scoundrel upon a false plea. He turned out a black rascal from Granville coun ty by the name of Henry Harris, and he did it upon the ground, we believe, that he was an innocent victim of polit ical persecution. The information we received js&a- that Harris assaulted a boy a1ftrSnen Interfered with turned upon Mr. Landis, a young white man of character, and came very near kill ing him.- If this is correct, the rascal deserves no sympathy, much less the interference of the governor In his be half. He is a very bad, dangerous ras cal, and it is wonder that a race row of wide results did not follow his infer nal attack on Mr. Landis. If we are mistaken lnany thing given we will correct. We hope The Oxford Ledger will give the exact facts and handle the governor as he deserves for any abuse of power. ' ' '" . .. ..: ' North Carolina has living at least three men who have -written poetry. One of these has in press a small vol ume, price $1. We wish we could in duce young men who love literature, or others who appreciate North Carolina gifts, to send $1 each to Professor Hen ry Jerome Stockard, Fredericksburg, Va.f for a copy of his forthcoming con tribution to the muses or to our "native wood-notes wild." Mr. Stanton, of .Georgia, who is a poet,-is appreciative of other men of gifts. In The Atlanta Constituion he said a few days ago: "North Carolina has a-true singer in Henry Jerome Stockard, and the ; an nouncement that his poems will soon be published in book form is gratifying to his friends and admirers. Some of the most notable sonnets that have ap peared in The Century Magazine were from his pen." That is one young Georgian poet's es timate of another young southern poet, and we thank him for his kind and, we believe," just opinion. - 'To restore 'gray hair to Its natural ctolor aa in youth, cause It to grow abundant and strong, there is no bet ter preparation than Hall's Hair Re-newer. THE MONTHLY MAGAZINES. "The International Studio" is the name of a new illustrated monthly( maga zine of applied and fine art published by John Lane, at 140 Fifth Avenue, New York city, price $3.50 a year or 35 cents a number. Mr. Charles Holme is the editor. The copy before us is the second number issued. It is cer tainly an elegant and charmingly print ed and illustrated monthly. It is very perfect in Its workmanship throughout. The artistic excellencies are striking and must engage those who have sympa thies and tastes kindred to the aims of this new and attractive enterprise. It is a London monthly and will be widely appreciated no doubt in this country. "The Forum", for April has several political, - educational, speculative i and practical papers that might be read with profit by many. We found inter. est in the only three papers we have had time to read or glance over, name ly: "Has the Senate Degenerated," by Senator George F. Hoar; "Retrench ment or Ruin,'? by Hon. J. Sterling Morton; "Seme Opened Tombs and Their Occupants," By Rev. Dr. 'F. W, Farrlr, Dean of Canterbury, England. There are several others that we sup pose offer Interest and edification.

There has been either a great job in building or very much ex travagance or perhaps both, Here is an illustrative point, a good supplement to our editorial leader of yesterday. The Jacksonville (Fla.) Time-Union says: .'.; "A man who smokes 200 cigarettes per day has just been sent to an asylum. The others are still running around loose." They are growing tobacco in Florida successfully, and it is stated that the tobacco grown at Fort Meade is wholly different from the tobacco grown in any other part of the country. It is in ferred from what the experts say that in flavor, and in every' other respect, it is . fully equal to the best quality of Cuban tobacco. The president has done what was his duty in appointing three commis sioners to attend an international bi metallic conference if one is ever called, which is perhaps very doubtful. Two are for bimetallism and one is for gold. The only question is if the men select ed in ability are equal to the places as signed? If the governments of Europe send delegates they will probably be very able men. There is not much If any improve ment reported last week in the world of trade. Numerous- failures continue. Wheat has fallen and there is nothing to cheer the . farmers. Some southern papers continue tlo insist that the farm ers were never so well off.
