few of the better class OF country resi-
dences. The water-closet Is necessarily ex-
pensye. The plumbing connected with It
Is costly, and unless well protected Is liable
to injury from frost. A large quantity
of water is required to make it efficacious,
estimated to be $50 times the amount of
fecal matter. But few country residences
are supplied with such an amount of wa
ter. Another great objection to the water
closet Is the loss Of manure. In family OF
five persons this cannot be less than $50 per
rear. None of these objections apply to
the earth closet. 1t is cheap; the material
for deodorizing the f9ces can be had any
where in the country for the small trouble
Of drying and sitting the earth. There Is
no part Of It that can get out of repair. 1t
is absolutely inodorous, and can be put UP
in any room, in any part Of the house.
Last April I purchased set of ordinary
put.up fixtures at cost of S13.25. These
were put up in the corner OF o sleeping
room on the first floor. A hole was cut
through the floor to let the deposits fall in
a vault in the cellar. The expense, besides
the fixtures, was seventy feet of matched
and beaded ceiling. one pound OF nails, and
less than one days labor or myself in fit
ting up. The vault in the cellar has not
been built, and it is somewhat doubtful II
it ever is. can conceive of nothing bet
ter than box or barrel to catch the depo-
sits. These deposits are quite as inodor-
GUS ,as any other damp earth. The closet
occupies space on the floor of 2 feet 9
inches by feet inches. The earth reser-
yoir holds two barrels. The closet was put
up on rainy day, and dry earth was not
to be had. Happening to have some sum
dried brick, pulyerized fifty of them and
screened them through a fine sieve. The
screened earth from the fifty bricks lasted
five weeks. The closet was used by an
average of four persons. My opinion OF
this closet is so good that would not have
it removed for five hundred dollars if
could not replace it. It. q. WOOD.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

The school question is not settled. A
majority of the children, with their parents
are dissatisfied with the present one session
system.
One reason alone is sufficient to condemn
the system.
The schools for the various grades Close
al l:50 200 and $50 p. IN. Many familie.
have children of all ages attending school
These children return home at different
times, and consequently all cannot have din
her at the same hour unless late dinner is
served. Most of the common people have din
ner between noon and O clock D. IN.
In families where dinner is served at this
hour, the meal must be kept waiting for two
hours TO accommodate the school children.
Laying aside all questions regarding the
policy Of the one session system, the fact that
ii causes such great inconvenience TO a large
majority OF our citizens, is reason enough
why We should return to the old system
1t is well known and understood by all
who desire TO know the facts that
the change was made 70 please
select few, who dine at 4 p. M. and who
did not want their children to associate with
the common herd.
We learn that if the School Board do not
take action, that the people contemplate
making an expression that will speak most
emphatically their sentiments upon this
question.
The attempt of the few TO ride over the
good sense of the people to CRAFTY their in
dividual wishes will not be acquiesced in by
the people.
We write this much at the request of
large number of the patrons of the common
school, and do so most willingly, as we cor.
daily endorse their sentiments.

GOV. CHAN. ROBINSON,

We had the pleasure of call yesterda,
from Doctor Charles Robinson, one of the
earnest true workers for the interests of Kan
sas. We have known the Doctor ever since
our first trip to Kansas in 1874, when We
met him in St. Louis. The Governor,
James Blood, and {. H. Branscomb first 10.
Gated upon the spot where Lawrence now
stands. Branscomb was the pilot whs met
our party at Kansas City, and acted as guide
for US to Lawrence. At that time only one
building was there, log hut. which now
stands on Massachusetts, street.
On the questions OF freedom and human.
ity the Governor was sound in 1854, and
wha, is more, he is sound to-day, one of
your true blue, unfinching Republicans.
The Governor looks happy, and We guess be
is; at any rate, he has all of this worlds
goods required to make him feel comfortable.
May prosperity continue to bless him.

SUMMARY MEAsURES.

The Tribune asks: "Shall We adopt the
San Francisco plan or continue our own?
The ''San Francisco PLAN was summary but

committee. "The air is murky now with
ineffective threatenings; the ear is panied
with impotent threats; but the wicked dy-

ragged and public decency de6led," says the
Tribune. Although a vigilance committee
would appear to be favored, the Tribune dis
courages the idea, and says all that is needed
is an "Eonest adaptation of the machinery Of
popular government" We believe that is
what the San Francisco Committee call it.
