' ' ;.- "I am not opposed to the Graded School," says one, "I am only opposed to keeping it up by taxation." "Why are you opposed to keeping it up by taxation V" . r : "Because that will be oppressing the poor to educate the rich." ,"How?" f '"Because, ; Uie rich have houses to rent out, and if the Gradod School is kept up by taxation the owners will ad vance rents on the poor tenants. " Such aro the silly . arguments being used in opposition to the Graded School. Now in all candor, will not the Graded School, if kept up by private subscrip tion make just as much demand for ten ant houses as if sustained by taxation V The only difference we", can see in it is this: some men who own tenagtlwHseB would not voluntarily pay a cent to the school ,,but. would hasten to advance rents as soon as the demand for houses would justify it. They would like to dance but want some one else to pay the fiddler. Now why jiot corns out boldly and say we are opposed to paying out our money to educate other people's children. ." ' We are satisfied that the taxes that would be paid by two thirds of the pat rons of the Graded School under the special act to be voted upon on the 1st Monday in May, would not pay one third of their: tuition if their children were sent to private schools, A tenant can afford to pay more for a house in a town where a good public school is always open for his children than in one where he would have to pay his tuition direct. We s always thought, and always heard that when rents began to pop up it was a healthy sign of prosperity in a town, but there seems to be . a few around New Berne who think that low taxes and a plentv of empty tenant houses are the sure signs of prosperity and happiness. , All such should start a town of their own, build a plenty of houses and allow ho one to move in. The State Guard Law. The following is the act, passed at the last session of the Legislature, for the encouragement of the State Guard : 1. That the Governor is authorized to pay to each duly organized company of the State Guard, which complies with all the requirements of the laws and regulations governing the active militia, the sum of one hundred and fifty dol lars per annum, for the. payment of armory rent and other necessary ex penses : Provided, That number of said companies shall not exceed In the ag gregate twenty-five, and that said com panies shall be located at or near the lines of communication by railroad, or steamboat, or telegraph. : 2. That the Adjutant General shall be appointed by the Governor, and shall hold his office for the term of four years; ) shall execute a bond of two thousand dollars for the faithful perfor mance of his duties, and shall be paid an annual salary of six hundred dollar?. ' 3, That any officer or enlisted man failing to pay over any fine imposed on him under the general law and regula tions. or under the by-laws of his com pany, may be proceeded against the same as for ordinary debt before a jus tice of the peace. Judgment having been obtained, execution shall issue and be levied and collected as in ordinary cases the money when collected to be paid into the company fund. : 4. That tha laws of 1876-!7, chapter 272, section 2, shall be amended by add ing the words, V And the Governor may, whenever the exigencies ef the public service require it, detail for special duty any officer of the State Guard, and his expenses and compensation therefor shall be paid upon the approval of the Governor and the warrant of the Au ditor." . :';,' .,;! -H- lri'r'i-. - & 1 5. That the Governor shall have" the power to make such use of any appro priation made by, Congress for the mili tia as he may deem best for the arming equipment, support, maintenance and discipline of the State Guard. The ex penditures shall be made under his di rection, by such officers as he may di rect, and a report of the same shall ap pear in the annual report of the Ad ju tant General.

Many telephones are used! Jn the public ser vice, especially by tle Signal Corps. Since the war much attention has been paid to the . improvement of mie'ans of communication between different parts of an aijmy in - the field and' wn the march, and a field telephone" has been invented by Sergeant 'fieaatf oflt&i; Signal Corps. The same man ias im proved the instruments employed t the seacoast stations, by which .communi cation is maintained between the men of the life saving and signal services.4 The former are thus enabled to s6nd word for aid to distant ports in cases of serious disasters on the coast. Eccard's combination of his own receiver with the Gray, Phelps, and Edison transmit ter is asserted, by , Government officers to be so much better than the Bell tele phone' that it is 'nece'scary,! for'".the proper conduct of the public business.' ' 'JThe 'Eccard ? 11 instru ments are made with a view tp, heav ier work than the Boll telephones are usually put to. Moreover, the officers of the Signal Corps think that the Gov ernment ought to .be jn position, to.ayail itself of the inventions of the French and Germans; Some of which are very valuable ' for m ili'tary pu rposes. The question involves the right of the Gov ernment to use any invention that "jnay be deemed for the best interests of the public service, for the Bell Company in sists not only on charging a rental for each telephone used by the Government, but that all telephones other than those covered by Prof. Bell's patent shallf be destroyed or surrendered. ' The' Bell people say that the Government shall not use or manufacture any telephones that are not made under their patents. As soon as possible the question will be submitted tor the opinion of the Attor ney General. ' ,J T it-. The I .Me.
