BOARD OF EDUCATION,

Mr.. DANFoRTn-ncar Sir If il is not too
late, allow me to suggest the name of George
Mxter as a candidate for member Of the
board Of educaton and to assign some lcas.
ons for the suggestion. He can refuse to run
if he will not accept the Office, but the people
want him in that position. He has been and
Is prominently THE educational man of this
county. 1t was under his careful manage
ment, and by the aid of his good Judgment,
that our schools attained that high degree of
excellence that made them the boast of our
citizens at home, and the model for one fourth
OF the state. 1t wa. he, more than anv other
man, that built them up, lie has more inte
rest IN the schools, today, than any other
man in the city unemployed in them and
spends more time in them tlau ann o,Le, ,,,
men, not excepting the members Of the present
board. He was and is always the t,,clsr,, (
friend, trying to Tighten their labors as far 10
possible without impairing their efficiency
and always sustaining them in the difficulties
which they must unavoidably encounter
More reasons could be given, but these are
sufficient. | urge the election Of Mr. Mxter,
not because | wish to pay him an idle com
pliment, for he is above such things; not he.
cause desire Mr.. Harper defeated, for he
has made good member not because have
any knowledge that Mr.. Mixter wants or will
accept the Office, but because know him to
be the best man in the city for the place and
if he will allow his name to be used he will
find that not one alone, but a majority of the
voters of the city, appreciate his past labors.
and desire renewal of them in the future

1HE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. We
notice IN the republican papers, much abuse
Of the constitutional convention and efforts
to prejudice the people in advance against
the constitution about to be submitted to them
by that body Without pretending to know
watcher the convention has performed the
duty assigned it by the people well or i'll, we
would venture 70 suggest that it will be quite
safe to wait and see the document before
condemnlng it. The calling of the conven.
ton was Il republican measure-the people
elected large majority of democrats as mem.
bers-and rs their action has not been con.
trolled by republican politicians, the latter
desires to 9 throw up their hand and have a
new deal The people, who have to foot the .
bill, would do well to notreiect the work thew
have to pay SO dearly for until they are sat .

A riot occurred in East St. Louis on
Saturday night, in which three men
were injured. In consequence Of high
water in the river the inhabitants stop.
ped up a culvert on the 0. & N. Rail.
road, to prevent the town from being
submerged. The road master fearing
the track would be washed away, pro-
ceeded with track hands to remove the
obstruction. They we're met by q
crowd, who ordered them off. The
matter was referred to the Provost Mar
shall, who sent over guard Of sixty men
to quc!l the distu, bance and protect the
railroad men. They found seventy FIVE
or orc hundred men assembled to pres
vent the obstruction from being remov.
cd. The crowd wa. ordered away, but
refused TO 60, and the guard advanced.
Several shots were fired at then tut no
one was injured. The guard then
charged bAyone,s in crowd, and three
men were injured one seriously.
Yesterday Col. Parsons and Mr..
Bacon, President OF the road, vent over
it to examine into the matter, and decided
to allow the distractions 10 remain, as
their removal involved the destruction
Of a vast amount Of property. 1t is
doubtful whether the embankment of
the road will prevent the town from be
