We have read with genuine interest and no little admiration the literary address of Mr. Walter H. Page before the State Normal and Industrial col lege at Greensboro, on the 19th inst Mr. Page is a native of this state, but has spent nearly all of his manhood outside, and perhaps ten years of it In the cities, of New York and Boston. He is at present associate editor of The Atlantic Monthly, the best of all lit erary monthlies in America. He was editor for several years of The New York Forum, and much improved it He is a scholarly man, with an ex ceedingly active, aggressive mind, and is roaster of a style that is the vogue now direct, plain, carefully wrought, There are no grand sentences, no mas sive thoughts, no splendid rhetorical displays, nothing that men of the south acquainted with the great literatures would call eloquent. He is very clear, emphatic, positive, and something sar castic, biting, and even virile. His ad dress is very entertaining reading In deed. It is a decided success of its kind.: It is perhaps, as is the fashion over-praised by enthusiastic admirers While admiring Its .cleverness, its sparkle, its picturing Of the past, its literary workmanship, we are unable to say-with some others that it Is the greatest intellectual effort ever heard in this plain, old, backward, ignorant state of North Carolina. We do not Intend ourselves to put any slur upon the brilliant effort, or to place upon It any under-estimate of our own. We simply fail to find what we were led in advance to expect the greatest of all mental efforts hitherto made in this state that has been called "Old Rip Van Winkle." We recall that in Jthls state Gaston and Badger have lived and spoken; that here have lived and wrought and spoken such men as Mur phey. Miller, Graham, Bragg, MciRae, Kerr, Rayner, Davis, Vance, W. H. and E. G. Haywood, Hawks and others who; might well be named strong men, well equipped men, cultured men, some even very remarkable, and one or more great men in a high and proper sense. Then we recall that many literary ad dresses and sermons have been deliver ed in North Carolina by gifted, distin guished men from other states. We remember that such great orators and preachers as Bishop Pierce, Bishop Marvin, Bishop Wilson and others have preached some of their great discourses within our borders. The late Hon. Bat. F. Moore and Governor Hoi den pronounced Marvin's two hours' ser mon in Raleigh the very greatest by all comparison to which they ever listen ed. We place one sermon we heard by Bishop Wilson first in sermonizing and first in intellectual power above all ef forts of the human mind which we have heard in a life time in any arena There have been splendid sermons preached in Wilmington sermons of unique power, of eloquence, of rounded excel ' lence, and some recently. Stephen A. Douglas, Henry Clay, Edward Everett, Roger A. Pryor, and other highly gift ed and very distinguished men haye spoken in North Carolina and of Oth er .states. If a genuine Yankee from Boston were to come to North Carolina and make the speech delivered by Mr. Page it would make North Carolinians as "mad asJwrnets." But Mr. Page, "na tive here," but who lives in Boston, and has evidently taken on some "Yankee notions," as all southerners are apt to do who abide long in that part of the world, can make the speech amid loud applause and with the in dorsement perhaps of all of the best newspapers in the state. He certainly is very plain of speech, He turns on the light so glaringly as to bring out the deformities and repel lant ugliness of our Old-time mother, and we are all shamed to know that North Carolina is such a poor thing and has done .so little for her children. . We feel mortified, hang our head in sorrow, and yet are compelled to say that it is not a caricature of our old mother he has painted, but a living likeness, true in outline and shadowing. The figures he gives are not new to us. But it is the grouping, the description, the cool statement of facts that brings on a nightmare of horror. All the charm, all the color and beauty of life are left out. The old mother, wrinkled, decayed, deformed, demented, super stitious, ugly, ignorant, stolid, Stands there a picture of repulsiveness. And still, knowing well the dear old wo- - man, remembering her purity, her gen uineness, her integrity, her brave old heart, her loyalty to all that is good and noble in life her devotion to liber ty, to right principles, to civic virtue, we look lovingly, adoringly into the lean, wrinkled face, and throwing filial arms about iher we confess to the old love, the old admiration and say within our souls "May our right hand forget its cunning and our tongue cleave the roof of our mouth If we ever forget or desert thee thou mother of our love and adoration." Compared with New England and Massachusetts, Mr. Page's adopted mother, North Carolina indeed makes a Very "sorry show" in the matter of education. She has accomplished "mighty little"; she is like the militia captain we knew in our youth, some times "advancing backward," or as another one aid, "she 13 right back ward in coming forrard." But the old state is moving some. Before the great war she failed of her duty in educating her children as did the other southern states, but she was rather up with the procession if not leading it. She lost over 40,000 men in the war. She was stripped and peal ed and plundered and outraged by the scoundrels who preyed upon her, and some were from New England, and she made a rather slow pace in recu peration and in educating, but still nhe moves, and the educational revival for which AVe . nave pleaded while others were asleep, or had left the barren op portunities for "pastures new" abroad with larger pay and a wider new, is now upon us to some extent. Do you know that just what Mr. Page says of North Carolina efforts ait education in the past to a very gTeat extent applie to England, gTeat, re nowned and glorious as she is? With her fifteen centuries of history, much of i t so romantic and plendld; with ail of her genius, her wealth, her power, v,",,. A9.tMt of literatures. Iter vast libraries and magnificently, endowed universities, it is only 4n this century that a great movement for popular ed- it i. aan cura Komin?

Think of the time brought the planter but 4 or 6 cents, and a bushel of wheat not more than 20 or Zo cents How could he expend much, for educa tion or for any other luxury or neces sity? - Very Interesting, we repeat with un repressed admiration, very piausioie, verv nointed. very striking, very awak- okon?

We think that dark as the picture appears under his adroit, artis tic touch, that after all behind it the dear old mother was not happy or so poor in public spirit or so derelict in duty or so unmOtherly as she is made to appear. The impression left is dark, distressful. People who are ignorant, unlettered, a prey to superstitious fan cies, whose life is One of toil and pov erty are fortunately not "" so sad and gloomy and joyless as gifted writers from rich, orosnerous. "advanced" sec tions mav suDDOse. Many of the poor God's poor, are comforted and cheer- ed bv the lieht and power of God's blessed religion the Christian and their hearts are not sad, but blithe, and their homes are not darkened or squalid to them. There is much In Mr. 'Page's address for North Carolinians to think over. It will do good we may not doubt It ought to incite others to 'activity and zeal in behalf of education. There is in truth a great need of educational advancement in our state. It must pome. We cordially welcome all who would in any way contribute to that much de sired result. We hope the awakening is at hand. We have written for it and looked for it for more than a quar ter of a century. God speed the com ing! North Carolina is not a Massa chusetts. That rich state has been made so mainly by taxing the people of other states for iher uses and benefits. She has wisely used some of her great wealth to educate her children. North Carolina is not a rich state. In her bor ders are no colossal fortunes, and the people at large if happy, brave, self- .reliant and independent, are still poor in this world's goods and not rich in intellectual treasures. 'She can do much better than she has done to im prove the public schools. Through the years we have insisted - upon1 more money, better salaries, longer terms, a higher standard of teaching, more comfortable school houses and a more general attendance upon the schools. Last winter The Messenger favored not less than $1,000,000 for the state system of public schools. That sum is not too large and we believe the people could bear it. If less money was thrown away on drinks and smokes and needless personal indulgencies a better and higher educational system could be easily sustained. Pulmonary consumption, in its early stages, may be checked by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It stops the distressing cough, soothes irritation of the throat and lungs, and induces much-needed repose. Hundreds have testified to the remarkable virtues of this preparation. HOME FOLKS. It seems that the labors of a state librarian are so small and the place such a sinecure that the new incum bent is about to embark upon the roll ing, inviting sea of journalism. We wonder if he can lay his hand at once upon every book in the small state li brary or has any intimate knowledge with their contents? The Raleigh Tribune had a short ca reer. It was handsomely printed, brightly, ably edited, was a thorn in the side of the Tsar, and" the best re publican daily we think ever published in the state. It "takes no little of the article cash to make a success of a live, well filled daily. The republicans show a lack of appreciation in not sustaining The Tribune. Perhaps to a considera ble extent the old cause of 1868-70 ex ists to prevent, success of a republican daily. Major Billy Smith, a Warren county product and a very level head ed, witty republican who was success ful in business matters, and very prom inent at that time gave a good reply when solicited to subscribe to a fund to publish a daily at Raleigh for his party, "Blow Your Horn Billy," as our old friend and editorial associate called him in The Sentinel, said:1 "What do you want with a newspaper, our fellows can't read?"

As a real friend" nbt one of your pre tenders who are enthusiastic because our "grub" is in it of education, we rejoice in the change that has Come over the minds and consciences of teachers and presidents and trustees and some newspapers in the north rel ative to athletics and the place of foot ball In higher educational systems. It Is encouraging and healthful and high ly satisfactory to note the change. It is an unmistakable evidence of return-; lng sanity. We have long , held and have often said that it was a mar , cl that people could go "daft" over such brutal, exacting, moral-lowering game, fresiaent jciioi, me iruiy am president of Harvard university (Mas sachusetts) has recently made an ad dress at Cambridge (where the "Univer sity is located, and close to Boston) upon college athletics. We have not seen it, but know from other utterances by him his conservative, sensible posi tlon. The New York Evening fost, says that "it was marked by the clear thfrrking and plain speaking which characterize his speeches." We may not doubt it. This ablest and most scholarly of evening dailies, says farther: "Tts most important aspect, now - - y,aaA ever, was as a siaiemcui "J Uf a great university of the principles whfph mie-ht tr erovern the whole treai- ment Gf athletics. Briefly summarized, thpsp orincioles mean the application " ' , i, .l.J4. T of common sense to xne suojecv. .uuun.- ine back over the last few; years, it is easv for everybody to see, and almost all are now ready to confess, that the rmblic went half crazy over college ath letics. Nor did the insanity stop with the general public. The authorities of nearly all our educational institutions yielded in greater or less degree to the prevailing craze, and venerable grad uates quite lost their heads." Under our department of "Public Opinidn" will appear today and tomor row extracts from The Evening Post. Read what is said. The Messenger is glad it never lost its head over the football mania, but stood squarely by the moral aspects of the game, and as a real enemy to true education. The English game so fuli of dangers, and so fatal to life, has had its bad day in the south. An . enlightened publie con- science will not long tolerate it in pub- lie schools. We believe that a Rev. ut. D. S. Schaff, of Illinois, introduced the game into this country. It is a fortunate day for a man when he first discovers the value of Ayer's Sarsaparilla as a blood-purifier, With this medicine, he knows he has found a remedy upon- which he may rely, and that his life-long malady is at last con quered.

Fifty thousand visitors attended the Tennessee centennial last week. i Suderman, a Berlin well known au thor, in an estimate of modern writers, says that Poe is the most known of all Americans. The treatment of the bubonic plague in India by Austrian physicians sent there from Vienna, is not successful by the use of serum. A Massachusetts judge decides that Theosophy is not a religion. It may be, but a very absurdly foolish religion, like Mormonism that is taking root in the south. , Weyler is trying to starve to death 88,000 Cuban women and children and men. He had forced them into cities and gives them nothing to eat. ; This fails to move the indurated livers of the Washington Solomons. Mr. John L. McLaurin. now repre sentative in the congress . from South Carolina, is to succeed the late Sena tor Earle. He is a man of clever ability and popular. He will be a good man for the place, we suppose. This is the period of the year when commencement speaking aboundeth, marvellous orators "astonish the na tives," and the very greatest efforts ever heard are made with greatest dis tinction. It is a very great time in "a very great country. In Virginia Parson J. R. Jacobs ran away and married the daughter of the senior preacher in charge of the Peid mont circuit. That is setting a bad example. Is it not a sin to steal a daughter? Beware of visiting junior preachers among Methodists.

There seems to be as much variance of opinion among republicans in the congress as to tariff tinkering and rob bery as among the democrats. Neith er party has sound views it seems. The republicans may agree as to the principle that robbery is a right princi ple, but the democrats divide thereon. A few want to rob, others prefer to mix the yarn of oppression with both free lists and high taxes, while the real tariff reformers stand for low figures and no taxation for class benefit.
