' Th re is a lethargy in the matter of a new and first class hotel that is perfectly astonishing in view of the . fact that we aie to have a grand ex position next fall. Surely our people must be alive to the necessity of the scheme, and certainly no time should be.lost. We want the hotel, and want it badly. In fact, it is an addition to the city that cannot be much longer delayed with impunity. A certain young man from the city went robin hunting a few days ago. Some bad boys had been there before him, and finding a dead robbin they ' Bat the little birdie, on top ot a post. This certain young man having very sharp eyes saw the little innocent birdie on the post, and getting down on his hands and kneeB he proceeded ; to crawl over the frozen ground.

He has stood there and grinoed at the snn for years and never complained. The warm summer sun is most here and something should be done; either put a hat on him or put him in the house. Another Graded School. The matter of another graded schoo! in this township would seem to be a necessity. We hope the people of Raleiarh will take the sumect into early and favorable consideration It is expected that the increased school fund will be sufficient for its maintenance. It is generally conced ed that the site should be in the west em part of the city. The Direct Taxes. Gov. Fowle has received a dispatch from Mr. F. H.

Finger, President of the directors of the proposed Normal and ndustrial School for girls as provided by the recent General Assembly has issued a circular asking for bids by the first of Jtine next. The institu tion will havf an , annual State ap propriation ty $10,000, and besides the directors &r assured of liberal aid from the "feabody fund." In the act special provision 1b made for any city or town to appropriate out of its public fuuds money for the purpose, or to hold an election for the purpose of voting sufficient means to furnish the.buildiogs, etc. No place can se cure the location without furnishing to the State the necessary buildings. According to the provisions of the act it will be necessary for any com munity bidding for the school to make it appear that board can be had at moderate rateB in good families and that a large number of girls can be accommodated. In addition to this the general fitnees of a commu nity must be set forth. In view of the fact that Raleigh has lost the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, we most sincerely hope that our people will make most strenuous efforts to secure the School. There to no place in North Carolina better suited for the purpose in every noint oiview. The location, sur roundings, health, etc., are unsur passed th North Carolina. Let us not delav .toe matter: it may be detri mentaf lo'our interests. m , r ! ' Funerals. The 'funeral services of the late Mr M.

The suggestion made by "Demo crat" in the Visitor yesterday seems to meet the approval of all the peo pie. We have not heard a dissenting expression yet, though we have asked for a free and full discussion. The holding of a mass meeting of demo crats, which could indicate their will in the matter, it strikes us will be a relief to the Aldermen-elect We do not think that there can be secured any uniform action in the matter, except . through the matured plans of a caucus of the citizens. Is a caucus desired? Will you have one? Who will call it? Our columns are open. The Chicago Republican City Con vention Saturday nominated Hemp stead Washburne, son of the late E B. Washburne, , Minister to France for Mayor. W. II. & It. S. Tucker A Co. Ladies' Shirts A5d Coats.
