ELECTION OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES

By reference to our advertising col
umns, our readers will find the notice
of Colonel Collins, our County School
Superintendent Of Public Schools, for
the election Of District School Trustees,
on Tuesday next.
The present School law does not al
low US the petty privilege even Of hay
ing our school system consolidated, but
it must be fr~actionized into small dis
t~ricts, each acting independently Of the
other. Thus is the unity, harmony and
efficiency Of our school department to
be destroyed. And for what, Gov
ernor Blasdel and the Rev. Mr.. Fisher,
only know. Flowery Township cannot
maintain q school but two or three
months Of the year, though it has An
amount Of taxable property that would
justify a school the entire year, but the
Gov. has his reasons for his action and
the Gov. knows what he is about. His
Intelligency vetoed the Storey County
School Bill, and no doubt the reasons
for this extraordinary measure on his
part will ultimately appear. But at the
present time our people can't see it.
Well, we'll wait patiently for light.
Unfortunately the Senate, where the
fate Of the Storey County School bill is
TO be decided, is divided into two por-
tions-the Governor and anti-Governor
party. The Governors party seems
determined to vindicate his official
policy and acts. There is, or at least,
appears to be some understanding by
this junta, that if certain measures can
be pressed through both Houses, certain
other things shall not be allowed. Our
School bill, we think, has been a
species Of circulating medium by His
Excellency and his party with certain
Of the Storey delegation. At least, the
action of certain Storey Senators on the
infamous mining tax bill, that contem-
plates bleeding our people pretty freely,
and their well known views and actions
on the previous School bill, coupled
with a kind Of right-about-face of GER
tain other Senators on the School bill,
who were its most earnest and deter
mined friends, certainly has a suspici-
Gus look. The fact is, the Senate ap-
pears to look upon Storey county as q
very convenient organization for carry
ing on the State Government, but APP
pear perfectly indifferent whether her
great interests have any encouragement
or support. What cares His Intelli-
n or his Senatorial clique whether
Storey county has any public schools
for the next two years or not, so long as
the State can draw out of her great in
terests none enough to keep up in
good living condition, the State official
staff, that Carson, the seat Of Govern
ment, may have the privilege of eking
out q precarious existence.
We learn by telegraph that our House
and part of our Senatorial delegation
are hard at work to carry the School
Bill through the Senate over His Excel
leucy's veto. Our lying contemporary,
over the hill, has recorded the names Of
those who voted for the bill as q kind of
sheer or scarecrow against those who
advocated and sustained the bill. When
the matter shall be decided we design
to place the names Of those who sus-
tanned the measure in both Houses in
capital letters, and shall designate it as
the "Roll Of Legislative Honor" and
shall only regret that we cannot do
more to honor them for their persistent
efforts in fighting Executive dictation,
sectarian conspiracy, newspaper Islander
n u despotic and corrupt combination.
we are still strong in the hope that our
school Bill will yet become a law, in
spite OF all the opposition that has been
brought to bear against it. Nv
