W ashington Dispatch. The Poor Min'l Only Hope. Speaking of the Local Taxation Election Aug. Id, one man says: Taxes arc too high already; I don't want to pay any more taxes. Hut this man has children and wants to educate them. If he sends them to public school like we now have. the schtxil will last only twelve weeks. He cannot educate his chil- Ircn this way. Thev will never learn much studying twelve weeks and not studying torty weeks. So this man decides to send his boy and gill to a private school. How much must he pay? Ho must pay at leapt five dollars for the boy and live for the cirl. This is a tax of ten dollars 011 him. Hut if he will vote for lo cal taxation he will get iood six month's schools for his lmvand girl and for all the boys and girls he has at a cost of tl.U'i, if his property is i.-ted lor f l,0oil; Ht a cost ot fa.Ju f his property is listed for $.",imu; at a 2. s' of forty cents it his prop erty is listed for flxi; at a cost ot ghty cents if his property is listed f.r Jot hi.

A correspondent of the Associated I ress. writing from Kingston, J a on Tuesday says : Twelve Cuban, the last survivor of an insurgent camp in the province of Camagna, reached RioNuevon. a littlo nort on the north side of the island a few days ago in an open boat. They were in a terriblo condition ot ex haustion, as they had been seventy hour in making tho passage. The little craft which had been con strticted in tho camp just before their departure, was found to leak in scvoral places, but, owing to the high wind and tho heavy soas, tho refugees were compelled to take turns at bailing her in order to keep from being swamped. Aeam and again they were on tho vergo of do struction, tho wave washing over the host and filling her to tho very thwarts. After three day of con stant anxiety and struggling they managed to put in At K10 N ucvo, in a pitiablo condition. It i inspected by the authorities hero that mnio of the names given by tho men aro fictitious and that among tho party aro several nn portant revolutionary leaders who havo business in New York and who aro travelling incognito. It will bo remembered last year that Carlo IkOlott, tho leading manager of an expedition to Cuba arrived in Ja maica under tho nom de guerre of Charles Roberts and described him self as an American journalist. It waa not until alter his departure lor Cuba that the Spanish consul in Kingston U'canie awaro of his real character. Whether tho suspicions ot the government are well lonnded or not, it is hard to ay at present, but in a few days the real facts will probably become known. Of the twelve men composing the party four arj invalids. Dr. Yieta is now ling in Kingston, tenderly cared for by thcloeal Cubans eutl'er- ing from a sickness induced by mouths of trials s.rd privations. Another has a bulk-' wound in the thigh ; a third a b.vunet wound in tho shoulder and a fourth is not ex pected to recover from an inte-rnal complaint aggravated by the severe elTeels of the voyage, lint their spirit aro not daunted. Glcfully they talk of the success of tho rebels and of the defeats of the Spaniards. Their privations and sufferings are, they say, as nothing compared with what the Spanish troops are under going, in an interview with the Associated Press correspondent they complained bitterly of tho action of the Hiitish oflicials, for the visit ing health officer had arbitrarily seized a number of important letter and dispatches designed for tho Cuban junta in New York. They had protested against this action, but the official replied thi t a breach of the postal regulations act had been committed and that the letters must bo forfeited as a penalty. Nearly eighty letters were taken from Dr. Yieta alone and there is no prospect of any of them ever reaching their destination. More Blockade Whiskey. Another big lot of blockade corn whiskey was deposited in the storage warehouse under the Jaeolavlemly building this afternoon. There were twenty nine barrels, and five 6tills and fixtures besides.

The Importance of the Free School Election Should be Impresied Upon the Minds of All. The following is an extract from tho address by Mr. Walter II. Page at tho commencement exercises of tho Stato Normal College. Mr. I ago is one of the profound thinker of our conntry, and has como nearer expressing tho trntti in regard to our situation than any speaker before tho public. Read it carefully ; "In my indgment there has been no other event in North Carolina since tho formation of tho American Union, that is comparablo in im portanco to this new educational progress. Tho movement now has such momentum, that nothing can 1 ... ... hinder tho complete development of the public school system till every ..t -l 1 I. J le-i ciiiiu is reaeueu. y nen every in habited township votes a local tax to supplement the State tax, tho taxes yon now levy will seem small and will bo increased. According to tho last published report of the Commissioner of Education, the total sum siM-nt er year tier pupil in the public schools was still lower in North Carolina than in any State except South Carolina. It was only f '! 4o. In Georgia it was nearly fi'ioV), in Virginia it wa. nearly in Indiana it was ?20, in Michigan nearly $20, in Wisconsin $21, in Minnesota nearly foO, in tho new State ot North Dakota it was nearly $::. 50 nearly ten times the expen- liturc per pupil that waa made in North Carolina None of these State is richer than our own in possibilities. The ability to main tain schools is in proportion rather to the appreciation of education than to tho amount of wealth. We ay for schools not so much ou' of our purses as out ot our state 01 mind. For exam pie, there is a man in .Moore county who had two children at school at the exjenFe of somebody else. Although he did not pay their bills, tie took them from school the other day because, he said, the charge for tuition was too high. Ho is the frankest and most faithful disciple of our old time economic creed that 1 have ever known." 'A the movement to establish public schools everywhere gathers orec, men of wealth will end that they can do no public service with their money, so sure to bring last ing results as to build school bouses, aa they are already beginning to do. The history of philanthropy shows that no public benefaction bring the same sure and permanent result as provision for the free education of the masses." "The battle is practically won when the whole State stands secure on this platform. That a public school system generously supported by public sentiment, and generous ly maintained by both State and local taxation, is the only effective means to develop the forgotten man, nd even more surely the only mean to develop the forgatten wo man. Even ten years ago, many men in North Carolina did not stand on this platform. Now I hear that few oppose such a pio gramme, and thtase few you will soon educate, for sheer pity." "Standing in this institution to day, it seems incredible that I my self can recall the opposition both f political leaders and of ecclesias tical leaders to free public schools. Nothing else ever made me so near- helpless. I hank heaven, that ppot ition is passed. Or if it bo not wholly passed, aud if any dupe of an old political fallacy say that we are too poor to increase our taxes for education, remember that the average amonut paid now by every taxpayer is only fi.lo; the average amount paid by each tax payer in the poor State of Maine is fy.2.1, in Virginia f 4.72, in F'lorida f5.3; in Iowa it is $15." "Too poor to maintain schools! The mau who says it is the per pttuator of poverty. It is the doc trine that lias kept us poor. It smell of the alms-house and the hovel. It has diiven more men and more wealth from the State and kept more away than tny other political doctiioe ever cost ns more even than the doctrine of setx-snioii. Such a man is the vic tim ed an anc.eut and harmful false hood." "If any beggar foraehurch School oppose a local tax for schools or a higher school iax, take him to tbe hut or the forgotten women and clu'idrenand in tee ir hopeless pres ence remind him that the chorea system of education has not touch ed lens of thousand ot these lives, and ask hiui there whether he think it wrong that the commonwealth should educate tht m. If be think it wrong, ask him and ask the people plainly, whether he be a wortfcy preacher t f the gospel that declares one man equal to another in the eight of Go1f Is cot one roaa e jual to another also is tit s g'.t of the common wealth! I a all reason sbleneas, it i impossible to ander siAiid how any man can regard it as a Christian act to ttand in the wsy of t'.ie State's elevating the neglect ed masf.es. Can any church afford to put itself in such a"posU'on? or, if it do, has it any right to complain if good men declare it an unchristian attitude. Even if von could respect tho religion of the man who objects to the elevation of th forgotten masses by public education, it is hard to respect his common sense; for does his church not profit by the greater enlightenment and pros perity that every educated com munity enjoys? The truth is ho docs not soe a condition, but he is a victim of a theory a theory aa in human as the theory that maintained the inquisition. His doctrine, too, smellsof poverty- poverty in living, poverty in thinking, poverty in spintual life." "I ho most sacred thing in the commonwealth and to the common wealth is the child, whether it bo your child or the child of the dull- faced mother of tho hovol. Ihe child of tho dull-faced mother may, for All yon know, be the most capable child in the State.
