0:t reader have been made ac
MU: inted with the tact that the
Prei lent of the Republic of France
j was assassinated last Sunday week
jfcS he was driving through the
streets of Lyons It has since
j developed that his assassination
was the result of a plot. His
death was decreed by a company
of anarchists, and in the drawing
of lots the lut fell to Santo, the
! Italia i who, upon pretense of pre
senting M. Carnot a bouquet ot
flowers, mounted the steps of his
carriage as he drove through the
streets and drove a dagger to his
vitals. The conspirators were an
archists. The anarchists are a
class w ho are opposed to civil gov
ernment. They are against law
and all those who uphold it. The
chosen servants of the people are
in their eyes, public enemies and
the simple fact that they bear
power is to anarchists a sufficient
reason why they should be put to
death. They want all govern,
ments overturned and each indi
vidual left to do as he pleases.
There was no special grievance
against M. Carnot he was the
head of a government and that
was enough. No reason for his
death existed that does not exist
n the case of President Cleveland
for instance, and it is not surpris
ing, therefore, to read in the pa
pera that whenever our president
'goes out to walk or to ride, he is
kept in view by two detectives who
scrutinize narrowly anyone who
might by ajiy possibility do him
any harm ; for there are anarch
ists in the United States anarch
ists who conceal their sentiments
and anarchists who avow them
openly.
What should be done with them?
America is the land of the free.
It is our proud boast that this is
"an asylum for the oppressed of
every clime." We have invited
the world to our borders and the
invitation . has been accepted
Along with the rest have come
many who mistake liberty fur li
cense, and of these are the anarch
ists. Anarchy is not a plant of
American growth ; all that we have
ot it is imported. Shall we uplitt
again the old time on whose folds
was inscribed, "America for Amer
icans" ? Shall we banish our for
eigners and admit no more ? This
cannot be done without defying
our traditions and revising our
national policy. That immigra
tion should be further restricted
and more rigidly inspected is man
ifest. But as to the vile element
already among us which would
i destroy our social fabric and in
stitute in its stead the reign of the
mob what ? Upon this subject
Representative W. A. Stone, of
Pennsylvania, last week introduced
m the House a bill denning the
term ''anarchist" and providing
j penalties for crimes attempted by
anarchists. "The bill provides
that any persons in any society
formed to take human lif 3 or de
stroy public property likely to re
sult in the loss of human life, shall
be considered anarchists, and any
such anarchists, who shall attempt
to take human life or destroy pub
lic property, shall upon conviction
in any Circuit Court, be sentenced
to death by hanging.' That is
very well, so far as it goes, but it
lacks much ot going to the root of
the matter. After the ''attempt
to take human life or destroy pub
lic property," is too late, for the
attempt may have succeeded. The
time to deal with these rattle
snakes is before they have done
their fatal work. An acknowledg
ment or conviction of entertaining

are aireaay oy law uuiusuaoie uy
death and all that is needed is to
extend the law so as to embrace
anarchy in trins. It will not do
in thp casM of a sjciet society t
iliis character existing in our
midst, to wait for the overt act.
As before said, that is too late.
We know what its object is: it is
to take life and overthrow govern
ment. It is the duty of the United
States government to take it by
the throat and choke the life out
of it before it can do either. It
can do this with perfect consisten
cy with the claim that it is the
land of the free; the land of liber
ty but liberty regulated by law.

Tlie Spirit of Anarchy.
The spirit of anarchy is not a
lone in France. As l'renner
Crispi said in his address to the
Italian chambers on Monday, "It
is common to all governments."
If this spirit of opposition to
government exists so strongly in
democratic nations like France and
the United States, it must be much
stronger and more wide-spread
under the monarchical and despot
ic governments of Europe.
These anarchists are citizens of
no country. They are the out
laws of cizilization. They are not
only opposed to the government
that exists, but are opposed to all
government. They would tear
down and not build up again.
In our own country this spirit
of anarchy is not absent. The
Hay marken riots in Chicago were
manifestations of the spirit, and
the prompt punishment of the of
fenders had a salutary effect. But
recently Governor Alt.geld, in a
spirit of leniency, 'pardoned the
anarchists who were serving out
their just sentences. Is this not
nursing the serxent that shall
sting us ?
The murder of Carter Harrison,
the mayor of Chicago, vas another
one of these deeds that anarchy so
delights in. And the slow justice
that lets the vile assissin live for
months, and perhaps years, is food
for anachy.
Every violation of the law is a
step towards anarchy, which is
abolition ot all law. The tarring
and feathering of General Tarsney,
the blowing up of railroad bridges
the destruction ot property, the
taking of human life all of that
carnival of crime that striking
miners have shown us during the
last twro months are but the out
croppings of this same spirit of
lawlessness, for anarchy is law
lessness. Coxey's foolish march to Wash
ington, the stealing of railroad
trains by the so-called "Indus
trials," their destruction of prop
erty, was nothing but the spirit of
anarchy showing itself in deeds.
Every time in infraction ot the
law is suffered to go unpunished,
we throw a sop to anarchy. Every
encouragement of violence is an
encouragement of anarchy. Every
deed of vice, every abuse of public
trust, is an invitation to the Red
Monster.
Too tight a rein cannot be held
on this vile beast that would iteal
from us law and virtue and socie
ty, that would rob humanity of its
better part and make earth a liv
ing Hades. The only way to deal
with this unreasoning, unknowing,
uncaring monster is to stamp him
out. Let the iron hand of Law
clutch the beast by the throat and
throttle it.

. I saw a pretty bit ot conju
al
felicity recently. Possibly s.nn ;
other people may share my en
joyment of it if I reproduce it, as
well as m iy be, ir. black and white.
An old gentleman, who had long
retired from a business which had
fairly "feathered the nest" for old
age, came from hi9 morning walk.
His wife met him at the door
her custom for more than fifty
years and soon they were seated
in their respective easv chairs.
'W here do you think I went
this morning, mother?"
"As far as any youth of your
time, I dare sav," she said proud
ly. UI went up to the old neighbor
hood, mother.''
They looked straight into each
other's eyes in sympathv, and for
a little while were silently think
ing. "Ytiti," he resumed, "I walked
up and down past the house where
we lived so long, where Annie was
married, and where so many tilings
happened. Then I went into lVin
berton's grocery to rest."
"That was a taste ( old-times,
to be sure." said mother.
"Pemberton was there himself.
Dear, dear, how old he looks! lie
introduced me to a fine looking
customer, and what do you think
he said about us ?"
"Oh, something about the days
when we were first acquainted, I
presume."
"He told the gentleman that he
served us with goods for forty
years, and never had a chance to
send us a bill."
'That was a blessed truth."
uAnd I told the the gentleman
that since the first week we went
to house-keeping I had given you
the allowance of money, much or
little, as I could afford, and you
had kept our expenses inside, al
ways." "Yes, dear."
4iI told him about the Christmas
when you surprised me with the
bead purse you had knit for me
seemt as if I could see you now,
knittinc every evening and trying
to turn the beads inside, just as
esy and I did not guess that it
was to hold fifty dollars in gold
pieces which you had saved out of
the year's house money."
Vell, you had not missed it
from the table, or anywhere else?''
"No, no; always enough to tat,
and the house as tasty as the
house-keeper."
"Well, husband, perhaps there
were not so many temptations for
a house wife to spend money in
those old-fashioned times."
"Perhaps nt, Jane. But new
fashioned times make long faces
and long bills and short lives, I
notice."
Now, this picture ought to be
etched upon young lives love and
confidence which had walked hand
in hand through fifty-five years of
married life with a "pay as you
go" principle, wnich walked while
others rode, to the sure end ot
comfort in old age. They had met
many riders coming back on foot,
as far as the poorhouse, or some
condition of homelessness and de
pendence upon the favor of friends.
This is a prime maxim of Biole
lore: "Owe no man anything, but
to love one another ;" and it should
be accepted as one of the keys to
'good hou se keeping." Ex.

We regret to see he efforts that
are being made to attack our State
institutions for higher education.
Now it is the University that is
attacked; now it is the Normal and
Industrial School for Women, and
soon it will be the Agricultural
and Mechanical College. These
are the three State institutions for
the higher education of our youths
all established by the State and
supported in part by appropiia
tions from the treasury. The
same principle applies to them all
The Agricultural and Mechanical
College receives aid both from the
State and from the National Treas
ury; but all the money it gets
comes from the people of North
Carolina, whether collected by
sheriffs or by Federal officers. The
principle is the same in either
case. Indeed, the taxing of the
people of North Carolina by the
Federal government for the sup
poit of a college is hardly as de
fensible as for the people of North
Carolina through their legislature
to tax themselves for this purpose.
Th ose who are now attacking one
of our State institutions for higher
education must necessarily attack
them all, it they proceed from
principle and maintain consisten
cy. Why, then, is this attack made.'
Why should the State ot North
Carolina set up a college for the
training of young women and pro
ceed to knock it down as soon as
ils wall are tilled w ith pupils T Are
wo to throw up our hats and shout
for the A. A: M. College until it
has -UK.) students, and then demand
its destruction ? The I'niversilv
once had an endowment of two
hundred thousand dollars given it
by the State, which was swept
away by the war. It has lived and
grown as a vital part of the State
for one hundred y ears, and never
in its history did it more nobly
fulfill its mission than now. Since
187o, when its reorganization was
effected with seven teachers and
sixty pupils, it has grown and I
struggled amid the prayers and
plaudits of our people until now
it has twentv-'jix teachers and four
hundred pupils, and is deserve lly
ranked among the foremost uni
versities of America. Is this the
time to destroy it ?
The Teachers1 Assembly at
Morehead has recently resolved to
have the State establish a "Reform
School." Shall we all favor this
untd the school is established and
then shall we demand its aboli
tion ?
It is asked whether the people
of North Carolina have a right to
tax themselves to give their chil
dren tho inestimable benefits of
higher education. This question
is answered in the lundamental
law which created the State, in
every re-enactment of their con
stitution by Ihe people of the
State, in the practice of the State
for one hundred years, and in the
practice of our sister States
throughout the union.
The policy is now a part of our
Statehood. The denial of the
right of a State to maintain
schools for higher education is
virtually a denial of its right to
maintain any schools, tor what is
higher education Where aoes it
begin '. Where does it end ?
Higher education is given to-day
in a dozen North Carolina public
schools in such places as Raleigh,
Goldsboro, Wilmington, Greens
boro, Charlotte and Asheville,
than was given fifty years ago in
the average college. Shall thee
schools be closed ? Shall their in
struction be curtailed fiom eight,
nine, or ten years to three t Shall
the orphans in the Oxford Asylum
be allowed to study Latin or to
practice telegraphy or stenography
or typewriting ? Shall the Hind
girls and boys be allowed to learn
on the piano, or to learn singing
from teachers paid by the State t
This movement against the
State's making provision for high
er education within her borders
should cease. Hand in hand g
educational and industrial prog
ress. North Carolina is now en
tering upon a great career in both
lines. Too lontr has her growth
been retarded by' sectional quar
rels and divisions, which happily
are ended. To tear the State in
pieces by new quarrels and jeal
ousies over this subject would b?
calamitous. It can be done only
at the expense of the best interests
of North Carolina and of the wl-
tafe of oua people. Let us leave
the matter alone. Raleigh Observer.
Tbe Can e Thereof.
The condition of prostration
which the world is experiencing
at the present time, is confined to
no climate nor country. It orig
inated with the appalling series of
bank failures in Australia which
took place a couple of years ago.
This embarrassed many strong
English concerns which had heavy
investments in the former country
and was the immediate can so of
the failure of Baring Bros., of
London. When this gigantic con
cern went down it carried with it
many hous s which had been re
puted sound, and re-tilted in cre
ating a stringency in the money
market that compelled the holders
of American government bond
railroad stocks and other securities
to sell them ami t ike the money.
This started the run on this sidn
of the water about the time of the
presidential election of 1S!-J, and
so trong did the foreign demand
heroine f r moBOy that by the
time Mr. Cleveland took ollice th
Treasury was in a depleted condi
tion, and continued to grow wo rue
until t lie admimst rat ion w as forced
to issue bonds.
To assert that this condition of
thimrs is the result of the change
ot parties is to accept blindly the
theory of the demagogue, for we
had nothing to do with precipitat
ing the panic in the start, the
prime causes being located at the
antipodes. But while it is true
,hat the chang.; of parti s had . lit
tle or in. intluence m bunging on
the money panic, it is unquestion
ably true that the financial policy
of the government for the last two
decades has had a guilty part in
the terrible affair.
The volume of currency is and
has been insufficient for carrying
on the business of t he country and
this necessitated a resort to the
private paper of business concerns.
The use of private credit, it is
stated by some authorities, was.
carried to such an extent that li e
times more privaie paper than ac
tual money was in use. This a9
very good whikv there was mutual
confidence, but when the scare
came on, and everyone refused to
take the note of his neighbor as he
had been accustomed to do, this
immediately withdrew from circu
lation five-sixths of all the circu
lating medium. It is no wonde',
therefore, that money becaun
tight. Then came the conflict o!
the two schools of finance, the in
flationists, and what might per
haps be called the contractionists
or the gold bus. This led to the
repeal of the silver purchase law
to provide for the use of silver)
leaving us a strictly gold basis.
Now, however, there seems to be
a stampede of politicians toward
free silver. Senator Cameron's
letter on the subject last week se:.
all tongues to wagging, although
it was Known before that he was ;i
staunch friend of silver. Reed
has also come out in an intervie .
