The New York Sun. in comment ins upon a communication advocating the educational test for Immigrants In or der, as the correspondent said, that "the Standard of American citizenship may not be degraded further by the Illiterates of Europe." says: "We refer our friend to a tab!- re cently printed by the ltulTalo Kx press showing the percentage of illiteracy men the white Inhabitants of eery State, and at the same time the per centage of inhabitants of foreign birth. The figures are those of the last census. This comparison has been made fre quently, but It Is always instructive and It Is generally astonishing to 1 pie who have taken it for granted that tic greatest Illiteracy goes with the great est foreign-born population. Contrast the figures for North and South Carolina with those for North and South Dakota. We select these four States because the two Carolina happen to be the States with the least percentage of foreign-bom population, while North Dakota has the largest percentage, and South Dakota a v ry large percentage: Percentage. reroentau,.. Foreign Population. White Illiterates North Dakota .. 41...S .s South Dakota .. 27.ii'.i 4.1 South Carolina . .54 17 '-' North Carolina . .23 "After studying this little table, can our correspondent doubt that thene ur sion into North Carolina of such immi grants as constitute nearly hal:' t'1--population of North Dakota would elevate "the standard of American c:t zenship" there, instead of ile-rraditm it But. of course, an act of 'enure:--barring out illiterates would not ex clude such immigrants as North Dako ta has and North Carolina needs." As stated, these figures as to while Illiteracy are taken from the census (1890) and It is the only ..fii'-Ul data i . be had. The census tables ought to In correct, but we have never l-li--ed those which refer to the Illiteracy. W--have had much association wiih oai people In various sections of th- St it-.. With that class specially w li.i ai.- d-s Ignated as the uneducated in its bro.t l sense and we have. In view of tie- i.i'i.-n made statement, given some .-iit.-nti-.u to this matter.

And while we do need a higher education badly among our people, w stlll believe there Is not that wlioles.il degree of Illiteracy among them as the census Indicates. LAMAR BAILEY BOUND OVER. Mayor Russ yesterday nftermxjn bound Lamar Bailey over to the next term of Wake Superior Court In a jus tified bond of J100, on the charge of defacing the Confederate monument. Th's Mr. Bailey's relatives furnished. At the hearing before the -Mayor yes terday a number of witnesses were ex amined. They were Mis. Annie Hailev J. W. Bailey, A. B. Forrest, tieorge Glenn, Lamar Bailey, Haywood Hell and Sam Lumley. These witnesses gave testimony as to the Whereabouts of Lamar Bailey on Sunday, February tith. the date the drawing on the monument was alleged to have been made. Mr. Bailey sought to establish an alibi. Mayor Russ stated that he re gretted the Inability of the defense to prove a satisfactory alibi, and that with the evidence before him he would have to send the accused on to the Su perior Court. Counsel for the prosecution and the defense made speeches. Ex-Judge WhltaXer opened for the prosecution He was followed by Mr. Fleming and Mr. J. C. L. Harris for the defense. Judge Whltaker again spoke, conclud ing with argument for the prosecution.

Mr. Busbee's Term Expires in About Two Weeks. Washington, March 17. Much inter est attaches to the fight over the Raleigh postmastership at present, as the term of Postmaster C. M. Busbee expires about April 1st. The contest appears to be between Shaffer, Nichols and Bailey. Senator Pritchard says that he has not made up his mind who shall be rec ommended for the place. I'pon his recom mendation will rest a good deal. Assistant Attorney General Boyd called on the President with friends today. Judge Shepherd, of Raliegh. and Dr. Lattimer, of North Carolina, were pre sented to the President by Senator I'ritchard this morning. In regard to the candidacy of ex- Congressman Nichols, that gentleman stated to a representative of The Post last night that he had only very re cently decided to become a candidat and then with the understanding that he would not antagonize Mr. Shaffer lie desires to have It understood that at the suggestion and request of a number of business men and large patrons of the office, he has concluded to become a candidate to this extent: If Senator Pritchard and Congressman Strowd intend to recommend Mr. Shuf fer, then he (Nichols) is not a .-audi date. But unless the administration dees intend to appoint that gentleman Mr. Nichols Is a full-Hedged candidate armed, he savs, with endorsements of his candidacy and of his former ad ministration of that office, which ought to have great weight with the l'resi lent, Senator I'ritchard and the Con gressmen in making the appointment SOl'THKKN'S COMMENDABLE EN TERPRISE.

The sudden growth of great cities is the tirst .result of the phenomenon of immigration which we have to note. We think of this as essentially an American problem. Wo comfort ourselves in our failures of municipal administration with that thought. This Is a grievous leeoption. Most of the European cities l.'ive increased in population more rap idly than in America. Shaw has em phasized the same fact In his brilliant work on "Municipal Government in Eu rope." This is particularly true of great German urban centers. Berlin has out grown our oyvn metropolis. Neyv York, in less than a generation, having in 25 veat-s added as many actual new resi dents as Chicago, and twice as many is Philadelphia. Hamburg has gained tyviee as many in population since 1ST5 as Boston; l.elpsic has distanced St. Louis. The same demographic outburst has occurred In the smaller German cities as well. Cologne has gained the lead ,ver Cleveland. Buffalo and Pittsburg, ilthough In 1SS0 It yvas the smallest of the four. Madgehurg has grown faster than Providence in the last ten years. tnisseiuorr has likewise outgrown St. Paul. Beyond the confines of the Ger man empire, from Norway to Italy, the same is true. Stockholm has doubled Its population: Copenhagen has In creased two and one-half times; Chris tiana has trebled Its numbers In a gen eration. Rome has increased from 184, 000 in I860 to 450,0110 in 1894. Vienna, in eluding its suburbs, has grown three times over within the same nerlod. Paris from 1881 to 1891 absorbed four fifths of the total Increase of popula tion for all of France within the same period, Seekers after gold ar often dlsrui. pointed.

They are about as necessary now adays as soap, so those who believe in them say. "Lemons!" exclaimed a woman who believes in them religiously. "Why. 1 wouldn't be without lemons a whole day for anything. 1 once heard of a French woman who was considered the most beautiful woman of her time, and she attributed her good looks to eating eight oranges a day for 365 days in the year. I'd be willing to gamble on it that lemons will do far more toward beautifying a woman than oranges. Lemons beautify one through and through, outside and in. Nothing in the world bleaches the skin, hands and face like a little diluted lemon juice applied at night, and, strange to say. unlike most bleaches, it softens the complex ion. Then the finest of manicure acids is made by dropping a teaspoonful of lemon Juice In a cup of tepid water. This removes all stains from nails and skin and loosens the cutlcule naturally and much better than any sharp instru ment. A dash of lemon juice in plain water is an excellent tooth wash, re moving not only tartar hut syveetening the breath, and a teasponful of the juice in a small cup of black coffee will drive off a bilious headache before the suf ferer can say caterpillar. Life yvould be very barren to me without lemons, and so it would be to any yvoman who knows the secret of their efficacy. Best of all the juice of a lemon taken yvith a teaspoonful of soda, cooking soda, after each meal will pull the tlesh right off the most persistently fat yvoman who ever worried over her weight."
