Dr. Curry's address before the Greensboro State 'Normal is well cal culated to attract the attention of in telligent, patriotic North Carolinians. The source is such as not to be disre garded. Dr. Curry is able, observant, eloquent. He was once very distin guished, in politics, (we heard the late Chief Justice Smith say he wa3 the ablest member of the confederate house), and has written one unusually 'interesting and decidedly meritorious 7ook. In the pulpit, when we heard he -was a pronounced success. So his views as to education in or out of North Carolina are too weighty to be over looked.' The thing to do is for North Carolinians to read and resolve that the figures shall be changed all around, as to appropriations for education, as to' illiteracy, as to non-attendance' at schools, as to school houses and all that pertains to education. The figures are not new at all. Unfortuately they are old, but they are true. Read what Dr. Curry puts so Kinuiy anu and then say this shall' not continue to be. This . state, one of the old thirteen: fToriginals, has 140,000 pupils' who do. not attend school and are therefore growing up in stolid ignorance. Dr. Curry says truly, and It is what has heen. often said, that the state needs more money for schools, and a better supervision. " He is correct also in say ing the state needs a campaign for ed ucation. If we had space and time we would be glad to reproduce here ex tracts on this particular line from sundry editorials in The Messenger. Years-ago- rne .Messenger mswicu m" it required a higher and rarer combi nation of gifts to be an efficient, suc cessful, thoroughly equipped superin tendent of public instruction than to be governor. We so believe and in sist, for he should be a scholar in a high sense, an orator, a writer of ex ceptional strength and excellence, apt to teach, practical, wide-awake, en thusiastic, aggressive. Dr. Curry mentions, that the valua tion of property is lower in North Car olina than in any of. the states but two. The taxes are low also, but ordinarily are not to be complained of, f ortheAmer ican trend is all the other wayto high taxes - and corresponding extrava gance. But it is possible to be in edu cation as in other things, "penny wise has favored $1,000,000 for the state sys tem of public schools. It believes to make North Carolina great in prosper ity the children must be educated, not by a. compulsory law, but by earnest, vigorous, continuous campaigning for education. It would place the state -schools on " the highest possible vant age ground and make them equal to any in the land. . - While North Carolina illiteracy is rampant, vast, deplorable, states in the north are afflicted too, and even great New York state has several hundred thousand children who are not school ed. Misery loves company. v Think of 'North Carolina being allowed to be Y in the alphabet of illiteracy next to foot. She has been there for a long time and she should awake, arouse and be gin to spell up. Of forty-nine states and territories she is "forty-ninth in length of school terms, forty-ninth in amount expended per pupil each yeaf, fort-seventh in amount expended pet capita each year, forty-eighth in amount of school tax raised for every adult male citizen, the lowest in sal ary paid to teachers, and forty-third in ratio in school tax to wealth." You see it is impossible to make a worse showing than that, for North Carolina is at the tail end and promises to re main there for years yet to come. We love North Carolina, and we are wor ried to know that she is not in front in education as she was in war, but is lagging in the rear with bummers and bushwhackers threatening to mo lest if not to cut her off from the pro cession altogether. North Carolina is merverlous if you ask for fighting, but when you talk of building monuments, or erecting homes of the right sort for disabled soldiers, or writing history, or sending abroad to great expositions her ibest products, or filling museums with war relics or doing any other thing thai Ipeople generally elsewhere delight to do, then just count the old state out. In Richmond, Va., there is a con federate museum. Each southern state has a room. North Carolina's room Is empty. South Carolina and Virginia have their rooms well filled, and yet North Carolina did almost as much hard fighting as both combined. We think these states are doing their duty, and North. Carolina is, careless, neg lectful' here as in many other things Dr. Curry spoke eloquently and just ly when he said that "North Carolina has hbeen prolific of great orators, jur ists and statesmen, and is noted for jealousy or nocriy. iter grouna is ms toric memorable events consecrate and hallow her soil. All around the (Guilford) battlefield is a landscape of undulated beauty, redolent of pa triotism and courage, but something more was needed to perpetuate the glo ries of freedom than mere marble monuments." Let North Carolina turn over a new leaf after more than thirty-two year.) of peace. . Let her erect monuments to her greatest men. Let her have a history of her performances in thegreat war between the states. Let her take necessitous soldiers. Let her have a - war museum of her own and fill it to repletion. In the Richmond room tho uniform of that noble and distinguish ed soldier, Major General W. D. Pen der, is to be found and but little else. . Let her largely increase the educational fund, endow all of its state schools amply, and make the common schools every way better. Let her awake and stir herself with invincible ardor and a resolved will that no longer shall North Carolina march at the rear of the "educational column composed of forty-nine states and territories. .. WANAMAKER'S BLAST. - What Is the matter with Wanama ker ? What has moved, this great mer chant, but poor politician, to untie bis tongue, and speak out so unreservedly, so bluntly about bis own party and its bad predicament? Is it disappoint ment that moves him? Or Is it a grow ig Intelligence, that enables him to see the signs as they axe and not through a smoked glass which his party leaders are using? Whatever the motive or the purpose or the cause, John is "talking out in meeting," and with unwonted boldness. Hear him in a speech in Philadelphia on 13th Inst: "The tide will soon set in Strongly against the republican party unless the depression of business is altered. Idleness and want breed. a bitter dis content which will never be overcome until there are ample employments, "The foes America has to fear are not the sullen, savage Turks nor the insurrectionists of Cuba nor the terri totry -.grasping British, but they -i are own patient and heart-tired people, our own suffering, much-promised people, -who betrayed and disheartened, no longer have faith in their party, and will turn to any leadership that1 offers promise of be tier times, believing that worse times can neyer gome than those now existing. "It is a terrible thing to obeerve pubr lic sentiment adrift and uncaptained and the people sweeping away from their affection' ,to the old party." Solemn wertfgj True words! But John Is "catching it," The McKinley cabinet are up in arms at this blurt ing out of truth this "attack on the party." They are "cussing" mad, and are very bitter. They even swear John has turned ""anarchist," that he is very dangerous and 6r oil. If a judge or a politician or a newspaper iiirna- on the light and tells the plain truth and stages plain facts he is at once denounced by the organs of plufocray, of trusts and "the ins," as very dangerous and as loaded with revolution and lanarphy., Some very plain talking has been "in dulged since the election by newspa pers, jurists, politicians and others who did not sttport Bryan. Truth is lame and late sometime but it is Truth, and in the end triumphs sometww; f . HOME FOLKS. The Fayetteville Daily Observer has been much enlarged even about doub led in size. It now presents auite a newspaper look. 4 We congratulate Major Hale upon the improvement every way, and upon his success in publishing a daily. It would be like Colonel Julian S. Carr for him to advance for a bank rupt treasury the five or six thousand dollars' to pay 150 pensioners. It would not be unlike him and his many and varied benevolences if he .were to give them that sum outright Jn case, the state should fail of duty. Billy Wilson will deliver an address at the University ot North Carolina commencement in June. It is to be hoped he will avoid the tariff, steer clear of Cleveland and the gold issue, and Say nothing derogatory of south ern education, manhood and patriot ism. The Virginia papers have flipped him severely lately 'and deservingly. North Carolina has one intelligent, observant "colored man and brother," who is not withoutj the sense of grati tude. He recognizes the good work done by white taxation for the educa tion of the colored race in North Car olina. He thinks well and forcefully, and sets an excellent example to his race both in intelligence and gratitude He complains of the new school law, and says it is the most objectionable of all, and particularly to his own race. He says the whites gave them practical control of their own schools, but the new law robs them of this. He says it will be made an issue two years hence. Let him and all intelligent men in his race vote with white intelligence and relieve the state forever of such in fernal rule and blundering stupidity as have cursed the people for the last three years. LITERARY GOSSIP, Professor Alexander Buchner, a cel ebrated Russian historian, Is dead, aged sixty-two. He was educated in Germany. Joel Chandler Harris says that "Un cle Remus" was not painted for one negro, but a composite of three or four old darkies he knew. The stories of "Uncle Remus" are plantation tales he says. Tom Dixon is a character in the pul pit or out. He has angles as pro nounced as Sam Jones. It is stated that he is a character in a novel writ ten, by MissLillian Bell. She calls her book "Little Sister to the Wilderness." What sort of a story it is, and what sort of a figure Tom cuts in it we do not know, but he is a capital lecturer, with much of the comedian, and if drawn to life might seem.an "original." We thought that T. S. Fay was dead long ago. Away back in the early forties the"grown folks" about us were reading his "Norman Leslie," "Hoboken," and "Countess Ida," all of which had a very popular run and were thought to be cleverly done: He i still alive, aged ninety, and resides in Ber lin, Germany. Only a few years ago he wrote a history of Germany, which we have not seen. Edmund Gosse is a very entertaining and excellent critic. His books all possesssa real value. His "Seventeenth Century Papers"' is the new title of a volume just issued of a work he pub lished fourteen years ago then called "History of -English Literature in the Seventeenth .Century." It is excellent. He has also three or four other crit ical volumes that are full of original ity, charm and acuteness. He. is a cap ital writer. "Hugh Wynne, Free Qauker," ap pearing serially in The Century is a good piece of literary workmanship. It is really virile, entertaining and full of incident, but not outrageously ro mantic and improbable. Every thing is very real and natural and probable. Uncle George Washington figures in it, and the author, Dr. Weir Mitchell, has evidently made, a close, accurate study of the hero of the war of independence. The story is historical and it is a fine production thus far. Thomas Hardy's last novel. he calls "The Well Beloved" fails to receive praise from the best, most reliable crit ics. They do not know why he want ed to write it. We do not, know that it is coarse and nasty, but ft seems to be vapid and nebulous and unnatural. " Oxockett, the Scotch novelist,. Is some times derided and prodded iy the crit ics, but some read and admire and praise. Of the latter is R. H. Stod dard. In his page in The New York Mail and Express1 he shows hearty ap preciation of the author of "Bog Myr tle" and "The Lilac Bonnet." Of his latest, "Lad's Love," Mr. Stoddard has cordial words, saying it is a "charming idyll," "a delightful piece of Scotch idyllic writing." and that "he is at home here, and at his best, and his best is very good indeed." Dr. Birbeck Hill, the famous editor of Dr. Sam Johnson's works, is to pub lish two volumes of "Miscellanies" by the great eighteenth century English author, not heretofore published.. The New York Tribune states that in "the first volume there will be gathered to gether Johnson's prayers and medita tions, his account of his childhocd, Mme. Piozzi's anecdotes and Murphy's essays on the life and genius of John son. The second volume will contain letters from Johnson to various per sons, extracts from the "Life." by Hawkins, many anecdotes drawn from different sources, and, finally, a con cordance of Johnson's sayings." We have often wondered why so many American newspapers delighted in ridiculing young Richard Harding Davis, whose several books we read with pleasure and approval. We found him always bright, entertaining, suc cessfull, especially in. describing inci dents and scenes. He has achieved a fresh success that will add to his gen uine reputation as an author of stories and travels. He is a Philadelphian, we believe, by birth. His new novel is entitled "Soldiers of Fortune." as we learn is located in revolutionary South America. , We are glad of his success because he is a young, gifted, energet ic American, and pf the bad treatment he has received, The able critic of The New York Tribune, discusses the novel at some length. We take this: - "'His originality and skill in the con struction of a brief story have long since been recognized: his animation and accuracy in descriptive narrative have won his a wide and a faithful public; but he has done enough work of an unsatisfactory nature to give the reader pause when it has come to ack nowledging in hjm a veritable master of, the art of fiction. He is such a mastej; in "Soldiers of Fortune," His defects have disappeared. The eocksure man nerisms and what might be called the color of an inveterate commonplaceness have both been escaped. What is pre sented between the covers of this de iighlful novel is the work pf a mature rrwma'nrpr writine: out of a full mind and sure of' his ground,. From all points of view it is a good book." Ruskin's famous early book. "Mod em Painters," is to be soon re-issued in a new dress, TO CUKE A COLD IJi ONE DAY. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets. All druggists refund the money if it fails to cure. 25c CUBA IN CONGRESS Cuba is to the front in both houses of the American congress. While the new Senator Wellington indorses the Cleve land do-nothing policy," southern sena. tors like the very able Morgan, the elo quent Daniel, the strong Bacon, are for more active measures. President 'McKinley sends a very short message, and is without interest. It is non committal,, and Cuba is a dead subject only so far as the suffering, starving 800 Americans are involved. McKin- ley has no decided views, we suppose, any more than, his man Friday, Sher- man has. He calls for relief $50,000 or more at once for the Americans. The president does not so much as hint at the cause of this suffering, and shuts both eyes when he turns his face in the direction of the blasted fields, the des olated homes, the starving men and women and children of Cuba. Major McKinley is a very discreet man. He is no "jingo," except perhaps in a cam paign. In the saddle he is highly cir- cumspect and breathes no unfriendly sentiment for Spain and gives no sign that he ever heard of Weyler, the mon ster. Very silent, very cautious is the president, Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER TONIC.szz2 SNAPS. They are calling it now "the sena tors from Havemeyer." Bynum's campaign of financial edu cation will not set the woods afire in the south. Bynum is, an ante-delu-vian. ! Billy Wilson still attracts. .
