Theee was celebrated at New York on yesterday the centennial of the establishment of the Supreme Court of the Uni'.ed States. It is the highest court in the world. Among its members hare been numbered two North Carolinians, Judge Iredell and Judge Moore. The latter was a man of very fine parts, while tbe former, in onr opinion, had no superior among all the great men ot his generation. The court has for the most part observed precedents with great firmness and it has stood as a break water against the gradual under mining of the federal principles of our Union. News & Observer. No presiding officer under any constitutional monarchy of the world would dare to resort to the violent despotism exhibited by Speaker Reed; but here, in the only government where the people rule, revolutionary despotism that would shame a government of kingly i powers is exhibited from day today; and with the apparent sanction of ; a great party. Of course, such vio- lence can end only in destruction i alike to the offensive Speaker and to the party that is responsible for and sanctions his acts; and when the present majority party shall l return to another Congress as a chastened minority none will howl londer for the rights of the minority than the Reeds, the McKinleys and the Butter worths who are now rioting in revolutionary despotism.

Lexington Dis patch. THE MAGNITUDE OP THE OUTRAUE. Tbe deviltry of Reed and his co conspirators is far reaching. They cannot be ignoraut of the fact that treason to tbe Constitution will te punished with political death, but they are consoled and urged on by Ihe reflection that they are secure in fcbeir entrenched position. Tbey may lose the House of Representa tives and tne Presidency, hut the Senate will be Republican for many years to come. Now tbe Republi cans have absolute sway. The House, the Senate and tbe Presi dent are theirs, and tbey can enaet any law they please, and it will stand on the statute book until tbe Democratic party has the power to repeal it, which can only be when they hare a majority both in the Senate and tbe House oi Repre sentatives. These facts give additional virtue to the Democratic proceedare and justify the resort to every expedi ent to , prevent tbe Republicans from riveting chains npon the peo ple which cannot be broken. If it were possible to change the political complexion of the Govern ment in a year, or even by the elec tion of a Democratic President in 1892, we might tamely submit to the usurper and his cohorts, but, knowing that the wrong which is now being perpetrated stretches far out into tbe limitless beyond, 1 every element of manhood must be invoked to prevent the intolerable outrage. It is with shame and indignation that we see North Carolinians par ticipatiDg in this unpardonable crime- We may pass by Cheat ham, for nothing but obedience to his masters was sxpected of him, but Brower and Ewarts deserve to be locked in the pillory of public opinion and lashed with a whip of scorpions. The Democratic Representatives of the people of North Carolina are standing at their posts, the Hon ored guardians of their countries liberties.

The Democrats of the House, under tbe leadership of Carlisle, have published an addites I to the country in which the high- handed measures of the Republi cans are exposed and the conduct of the Democrats is vindicated. As in a terrific convulsion of nature men must wait until the storm passes by, so in the present con dition of affairs we must etand erect and look to the future for our deliverance. Bat at this moment, anxiety for the political situation is blended with mourning because of bereavements iu the homes of honored men of the nation. No past administration has had so many persons in close association with it bowed in griet because of the death of their loved ones. First Mrs. Harrison stood by the grave ot her dead, but a greater calamity has fallen upon Secretaries Blaine and Tracy. Within two months Mr. Blaine has lost his wife's sister, his brother and his eldest son and daughter. Mrs. Coppenger, his beloved Alice, once the ornament of Washington society and always the idol of his heart, died last Sun day morning. The successive shadows which have fallen on the Blaine houseUold w ithin so short a period, are almost without a pre cedent in Washington official life. But even a greater calamity has falli n upon General Tracy. Mod dviy momiDg his honse canght fire. His wife was suffocated to death. Hid daughter Mary was burned to a coal of fire, and a married daugh ter aud her child received severe injuries in leaping from the burn ing building. The Secretary him self bart-ly escaped with his life, a'.'id may be lire-long invalid. All Washington is in tears, and there is mourning and lamentations throughout the land. Ukee is the very richest joke ol this summer season. The innocent Philadelphia Inquirer, Rad., says without laughing: "Speaker Reed is making a splendid fight against, the despotism ot the minority."

Composition means to produce comtthiLi; to bring forth original ideas from the Rtorehoute of the intellect, It should take himp.'e forms first, as in Ituer writing. If let ters, they bliould aesume the fcrni and character of lattero. There should be the proper heading, date and addreee. Especially should such competition pos sess the mei i. of precision. Take some plain, simple subject, and talk to the pupil about it. Let it be something that comes within the range of his un derstanding and knowledge some pro duct of the soil, of the water, or of mechanical invention. Let the compo sitions be ehor and w fltten first upon a slate. Technical grammar is un doubtedly necessary to the study of language, but great, swelling terms, complex propc?itiors and ideas should never be forced uon the brain when it is undeveloped auJ knows little cr nothing of the ray.-t.s lies of language.

In other words, he ehculd mas ter arithmetic by analysis and not by the mere dogma of rules. There are actually only four essential elements in this branch of learning : First, whole numbers. Every child should learn how to add, subtract, multiply and di vide. Each process should be taught by-the use of snutit numbers rather, than large, as it is the simple principle that ought to be known. Second, fractions. These should come into tbe work of the sshool just as soon as whole numbers. Every child can be easily taught, that a fraction is only tbe part of a whole namber. And provided small fractions are used, that is, easy and not difficult ones, hard problems may be handled by the child with great facility. Third, measurements. Let these also be taught early. It is not necessary to crowd the mind with liquid measures, apothecaiies weights, and others that every child knows from tbe milk cart and the store, that two pints make a quirt, and can easily grasp tho principle of these things. And fourth, there is the essen tial of per-cutae, which is the appli cation of tho principle of fraotisns to tbe details of business. The whole of today will be taken up with the examination of applicants for tbe three year' certificates. FOUETH DAY. Tbe whole of Thursday was taken up with the examination of applicants for the three years certificates. Tbe larpe majority of tbn teachers, as a mere matter of intellectual exercise, partici pated voluntarily in certain parts of the examination. A few entered resolutely into the contest as a serious matter of business. But so very few of them ex pect to teach out of Craven, and can have their certificates renewed from year to year, they did not consider the examination of the highest importance. The work of the Institute today will oe a continuation or antnmetic ana an earnest discussion of history. The room will probably be crowded when this last subject is taken up. FIFTH DAY. To learn arithmetic is to acquire a knowledge of numbers. There are four things to be learned about these. They should be understood as a whole, that is, from one to ten and from ten to twenty. Next, they should be taken apart by the exercise of eimple analysis. Take any number, such as eiht, and eeeho-v many different numbers com bined together will make eight. Do this by the method of object lessons. Select any familiar symbols, such as blocks, cards or marbles, combine and separate until the mind becomes thor oughly informed of the relation of things. Then drill the intellect in rapidity of exercise. If numbers are to be united together or separated, it can do no harm to train the powers in rapid ity of execution, quickness and dispatch often necessary and beneficial in the handling of figures. The child might as well go quickly as slowly. Then t?icb it to work problems by the appli- c.t.on of pnnciplPS already acquired, Su8zeatlon9 were offered in o'ther aPPlicatIotl of the le8S0E of analysis in ac1ulrlng knowledge. Teachers make a mistake in appealing to the wrong side of the brain. The mere memory of facts hardly ever useful. Philosophical memory, or the memory of the under- t A- A , j Standing urged and illustrated. The . ,v , . , . . association of ideas fastaLS on the brain learning along many different channels at once. Tbe ability to reason on facts and to reach conclusions stimulated by such a method of instruction. Slowness to learn arithmetic, geography and his- tor? due t0 incessant': levies upon the ! memory of words. Thus children of j really good parts are dwarfed in the higher regions of tha mind, and often fail to become scholars altogether. In- fn; rm hr;;n I of thought. Thought grows out of the effort to find a reason for things. And this reason may always be discovered by placing facts together, and studying the logical relation between them. What is History? It is the record of a people's life. Out of this it is soon made manifest that no people can live together without wars, legislation and commerce. These make up historical progress. What is history taught for? To give the child knowledge, character and the love of such learning. It should be taught with constant reference to the homes of men and the localities of events. It is better to learn by reading than by struggling to remember its successive pages. Let many authors be examined. Uniformity of textbooks in other studies, but not in this. Study it I by t0picB nd not fey P8 The Ger ; ujauB 8lluy njsiory ny niograpny, ana we may well imitate them. The lives of distinguished men and women chronologically arranged make up tbe developments of a nation. Do not bur den the mind with dates, settlements and unnecessary details. These can be at any time obtained from books of reference. Do not oumber the brain with seditions, wars and outbreaks, bat rather seek for the motives and causes, the main progress of events, and the facts of final adjustment. And in the study of administration and govern ment, omit difficult terms, and strive rather by biographically studying the subject to master its facts. This c osed the active work of the In stitute. Professor Alderman bade fare well to the teachers, after expressing his gratitude for kind treatment and bis appreciation of the harmony and the pleasantness of the work, anal the Institute adjiurned. Civil War in Hyde County. A special to the Wilmington Messen ger from Washington. N. C, dated February 4, says : t Ocracoke Island in in arms. Lieuten ant Winslow and bis negro oyster men have been driven from the waters before tbe muzzle of shot guns. It appears that Lieutenant Winslow. representing bis company, has been paying a certain price for oysters. The. Virginia pirates oame in and offered higher prices. Lieut. Winslow went to New Berne and hired a corps of negro oystermen. When ihey arrived tbe natives of Ocracoke Island, who have always considered the grounds theirs, and have jealously guarded their pre rogative, went out with shot guns and drove the Lieutenant and hia negro workmen from the waters. It is said the Lieutenant remarked that he never saw the muzzle of a shot gun look so large. Tbe sheriff of Hyde oounty, Mr. J. E Roper, was called upon; he went over to the island and attempted to arrest tbe three or four whose names were given him; they resisted, and when the citizens of Ocracoke Island were or dered by the sheriff to assist iu tbe arrest j the absolutely refused and de clared they would alee resist to tbe deeth even if the whole State o North uarouna were to come upen tnem. uit izens of Hyde oounty, on the mainland. were then called upon, but they said it was no tlaht of theirs and refused to respond to the sheriff's orders. Sheriff Koqer came to Washington for legal advice and has communicated with the Governor relative to the matter today, la Memerlam ef Joseph Kobermn The subject of this notice was a man of more than mediocrity in whatever he was engaged. ut a stout, rigorous body and well disciplined mind be never went half way in any under taking. He espoused the art of ship building in early life, and was the trusted helpmate of the late Thomas Sparrow of this city, who was one of tbe leading shipbuilders of his day. At one time of his life be was down in Mississippi and Alabama engaged in constructing the cotton presses then in use and becoming greatly in demand. About '1845 or '6 he for s time aban doned mechanioal pursuits and engaged in merchandising at a point just oppo site the present Cotton Exchange build ing. Fiom this be returned to bis more favored calling of a mechanic, and en tered upon tbe than advancing business of railroad building. He waa engaged in the construction of the A. 3t N. C. R., tbe Charlotte & Atlanta, tbe Norfolk & Southern, and tbe Smithfield branch of ! the A. & N. C. B., and at the time of bis decease was preparing to go on the Onslow railroad. He was for many years connected with tbe A. & N. C, R in bridge building, track laying, etc. A more competent man in this line of work is but seldom found. Mr. Roberson was of decided views on all subjects of popular discipline, and in politics a firm and pronounced Democrat, but in the political field be seldom sought anything for himself, but was always glad to aid a friend in such pursuits. He had been Justice of the Peaoe in this county, and in tbe memorable campaign of 1870 no one worked harder to accomplish the results of that cam paign than he. For this be was honored as Sergeant-at-Arms of tbe State Senate and as such was the officer in charge of the court of impeachment whioh tried the charges against his old-time friend and co-laborer, W. W. Holden. Mr. Roberson was well and widely known during the war as a ship builder, and was busily at work on the various gunboats constructed in this State. He was a firm friend, a loving hus band and devoted father. He has gone from us, and while the untimely death must grieve, let us cherish his memory and cast the mantle of charity over bis faults whatever they may have been. CONTAGIOUS BLOOD DISEASES. Ulcers, sores, pimples, itch, salt rheum, etc., are evidences of contagious blood disease. It is manifestly a duty to eradicate blood poison from the sys tem by a use of B. B. B. (Botanio Blood Balm), thus enabling the sore places to heal, and thereby removing all possi bility of other members of the family becoming likewise afflicted. Send to Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga., for book that will oonvince. J. H. Outlaw, Mt. Olive, N. C, writes: "I bad running sores on my shoulders and arms. One bottle B. B. B. cured me entirely." L.
