CllOD NIGHT. MY LOVE.
NIGHT.
GOOD
The sun has dipped his golden rim
Beyond the lonely sea;
The soft wind sings its vesper hymn
I'pon the drowsy lea.
The wild waves surging murmurs creep
Along the yellow sand:
The kiss of twilight lulls to sleep
The eyelids of the I ind.
Good night, my love, good night!
iMysterious whispers soft and low,
Steal through the r..siiing leaves:
The dusky bat flies to and fro
About the shady eaves.
The ousel tells, yon woods among,
Its lonely evening tale:
The streamlet sings its cradle song,
I'nto the sleepy vale.
Good night, my love, good night!
The daisy shuts it little eye.
The rose has fillen asleep;
And the blue o'erlarehing sky
The stars begin to peep.
Yet twilight waits to see you
Those eyes divinely bright;
close
Fur when they shine, full well it knows
It cannot yet be night.
Good night, my love, good night!
Edwin Waugh.
NIGHT SCHOOL.
If there is one thing which Raleigh
needs, and needs badly, it is a night
school for boys and girls, whose duties
prevent them from attending any day
school. This class in Raleigh is con
stantly increasing. There are now
scores, perhaps hundreds, of boys and
girls clerking in stores or following oth
er pursuits in this city who ought lo be
in school, yet this is impossible. Eaiiy
in life they are confronted with the se
vlmi problem of making a living. This
is , problem which few of us escape
but these unfortunate li.iy? and girls
are hurled in the relentless v.otex ..f
labor, thrust into the fierce struggle
f..r bre.ul. forced to haitle amid mer
ci! s .Mivvtitlfn. when they are to

t:r.i;?t as. do beeaus-. th,-y lacked that
fundamental preparation which was cs-.-.
:i;:;i! for inert-.sed responsibilities. A
sarciilciai view in the lives of this piti
ful class is enough to .convince any on.
thai' the assertion that "all ire-n are
liotn fr-f and equal" is false and V'ar-lyic-'s
affim ition "every man is the
a:chi:ect of his own circumstances"
wouil come nearer the truth if it read
circumstances or environments are
the architect of every man's fortune."
Standing in the shady side of life,
where a vast majority of this world's
inhabit. nts are crowded, it is hard to
escape some feelings toward pessem
ism, nay more even gloomy, despond
ent fatalism. How unequal is the
nice'.' How handicapped aie some of
the competitors? How utterly hope
less seems the prospect for them? Are
they to blame? Are we governed by
blind and merciless fate? All these
questions rush into our minds in quick
succession.
Within the past three weeks the ed
itor of this p iper has had the cruel re
ality brought vividly before him in sev
eral cases, which came under his per
sonal observation. For instance, here
is a bright boy. His mother is a widow
with no means of support. She is
struggling for bread and it is imper
ative that this Bon share her struggle.
At ten years of age, Uefore he has
even a rudimentary education he is
placed in a. store as errand or cash
and, in this capacity, gives his employ
er satisfaction. When the day's work
is done he is tired and seeks rest. While
he grows physically his mental being
remains at a standstill. Even if he
would he does not know how to study
and besides he does not realize the im
portance of cultivating his brain until
the stern necessity for its use is thrust
upon him. But only a few yeirs elapse
before he is too large for an errand
or cash boy, yet he is entirely unquali
fied for a clerk. There is no alternative
with his employer. The youth must be
dismissed and a boy substituted and
the painful process repeated. Exam
ples might be multiplied of boys and
girls in other lines of employment who
lose their positions, or are debarred
from preferment, simply because they
have never had the opportunity of ac
quiring a simple ludimentary educa
tion. Their mental resources are un
equal tii their responsibilities.
There is scarcely a business man in
Rileigh who does not understand the
seriousness of the problem. A good
night school is the only solution in any
way equal to the demands. A promi
nent merchant remarked to us last
night when the subject of a night
school was mentioned that he had boys
in his employ whose tuition he would
gladly pay if they could have the op
portunity of attending. Of course,
there :re many who would not avail
themselves of these oppoi tunities but
there are others who could be developed
into useful citizens if they only had a
chance. There are busy men and
women in Raleigh who would gladly
give part of their time to assisting any
one who will start a good practical
night school here. This is an opportu
nity for great good to ourselves, to
others and to the city, lo be accom
plished at our very doors, without hav
ing to seek an outlet for all our
Christianity and humanitarianisni in
foreign parts.
How em Christianity do its duty
battling with sin when no attempt is
made to stop such a prolific source of
crime as is the condition in which
many people in youth find themselves?
Shut out from employment by circum
stances, for which they think they are
not answerable, dishonesty seems to
them almost a necessity and crime loses
iis hideousness. Under such conditions
perhaps virtue is most often birtered.
Enforced idleness is the spermatizer of
every tendency towards hatred, envy,
immorality, criminality and of every
Mephistophelian idea.
Yesterdcy the Times-Visitor publish
ed in full the Governor's message to
the legislature. The document made
seven columns in small type. This was
the first time In North Carolina that an
afternoon paper ever printed the bien
nial message of a Governor to the
North Carolina Assembly in full and we
not only did this but published it the
day it was read.

Impartiality in an editor's opinions
ind views is a difficult goal to attain
but we must confess that the editor
the Durham Herald shows as little bias
in his editoral expressions as any ed
itor in the State.
A GOOD PLAN.
Governor Roosevelt has established
a code of rules to govern his considera
tion and determination of applications
for pardons and commutations of sen
tence. He says he will not exercise ex
ecutive clemency in behjlf of a man
who has been convicted of murdering
or abusing his wife, nor will he pardon
any habitiual criminal. His mercy will
be shown only to those whose sentences
seem to have been too severe or whose
commission of a crime was the result
of influence.
A disastrous storm is prevailing on
the English coast and in the Bay of
Biscay. Many lives are reported lost
and much shipping damaged and de
stroyed. A bishop of the Greek church in Alas
ka reports to President McKinley that
the United States' manner of operat
ing in that portion of its domain is
reducing the native population to beg
gary and starvation. Why. not work
some of the humanity theory in Alas
ka? A . - - 1 i.- 4
The weather man is making it warm
for that cold wave.
Governor Roosevelt of New York, did
a sensible thing when he determined
not to giant a pardon t oa wife mur
derer or a confirmed criminal. This
resolution should be adopted by other
States' .chief executive.
Grand Duke Cyril Viadimivoviteh, of
Russia, cousin of the Czir, after a
brief visit in New York, and being in
terviewed and entertained there visit
ing the wretched abode of his country
men on Green street, will carry away
with him rather confused impressions
o fmagnificence and poverty, of trans
planted Russian traditions ind Ameri
can customs.
Mr. Editor, mark my prediction. The
"deep waters you have discovered are
telling today on the hitherto drifting
President. The voices of labor and of
agriculture, sounding In unison, aie
giving him the needed warning of rocks
ahe id." He will surprise you soon
by his order, " Hout ship, for he has an
acute ear, fortunately an essential
point in a pilot. All goes well, and the
republic is once more to learn thit it
is the plain, common people that save
a State the Triumphant Democracy
not the narrow classes.
So says Jlr. Andrew Cainegie in a
letter to the X( w York Times, in which
he discusses the expansion policy.
The warm weather following the cold
wave is well calculated to cause an in
crease of grippe, and it is well to guard
against it, by ,i retention of overcoat
and ovci shoes. i he warm sun rays
drawing the frost from the earlh
makes a dampness that breeds grippe
baccillus. Be on your guard and re-
tiin your grip on the overcoat and
shoes.
The Governor of Peiinsylvmia boldly
asserts in his message to the legisla
tore, that the public funds of the State
has been deposited in hanks for politi
cal pinposes. whereby the people of th.
State have grievously suffered. And
still that very legislature. is now at
tempting to return to the United States
Senate a man under indictment for the
ciime me iiovcrnor says some one is
guilty of. If he is innocent the indict
ments should have no weight but thi
should be first detei mined.
ONE EXAMPLE.
The recommendation of the Gov
ernor in reierence i.t one or more
Houses of Reformation for youthful
criminals is one which should commend
itself to the thoughtful consideration
of the Genera Assembly. There is now
in Wake county Jail a little fellow
about 13 years old in a crowded com
partment where there are some twenty
or more prisoneis, two of whom are
charged with murder.
