IT is the impression in some
quarters that Woman Suffrage is
repealed in Wyoming. To gen
tleman in St. Louis, who wrote him
to ascertain the truth OF the matter
Gov. Campbell, under date of Dec
10th, writes as follows. In cxpla'
nation Of the last sentence Of Gov,
Campbcll's letter, it should be
stated that he was not originally IA
vorable to women voting:
81 am just in receipt of your let
ter of the 18th inst, inquiring what
disposal has been made of the bill
repeating woman suffrage in Wyo-
ming. The bill originated in the
House of Representatives, and
passed that body by vote Of nine
to three; one absent. 1t passed the
Council by a vote of five to four-a
strict party vote in both Houses
the Democrats favoring and the
Republicans opposing the repeal
! returned the bill to the House
with my objections, which you have
probably seen. 1t was passed after
the veto in the House by vote Of
ten to three, but failed to pass in
the council-the vote being (as be-
fore) FIVE in favor Of passing it
over the veto, and four against the
passage. So it failed to receive the
necessary two-thirds vote, and is
still the law. / trust it will con.
tinue to be the law so long as it is
productive Of good, as it has been
in the past"

WE have received under the frank
of Hon Jas. Harlan, a circular letter,
addressed to the people of Iowa,
about four columns in length, writ
ten by the Senator himself, in which
he attempts to parry the charges of
corruption and official malfeasance
which have been laid at his door,
The document is only remarkable for
its insufiiciency. After three months
of conspicuous silence under the
charges brought against him, Mr..
Harlan comes out at this late hour,
on the very eve of the Senatorial
election, with a letter which has
plenty of donial, plenty Of special
pleading, but not one word Of proof,
drawn from official sources, that
they are false. These charges grow
out of Mr.. Harlan's official acts, and
purport to be sustained by official
papers on file, and yet, there is this
significant fact regarding Mr.. Har-
lan's response to them, that, al
though fresh from Washington,
where the record is that will con-
firm or rcfutc them, that record is
not produced, but in its stead, we
he have the usual logged denial and
whining appeals to public sympa-
thy as a prosecuted SAINT.

in students room in the East (old)

that it could not be controlled, and
in short time the whole was in

value was some $4,000. Insured

Object Of School Governmcut.
READ BEFORE THE INSTITUTE, AT BuF
FALo GROVE, Dec 10th.

Tho object Of school government IL
not, a. IL too often supposed, merely to
secure order in school. True this IL q
very desirable object, and very essential;
for, no matter how good school may
be In Other respects, it cannot DO real
y success, without good order. But
there is another object to be aimed at,
which is to train the pupils, in school,
TO become good, law abiding citizens; for
II school training docs not secure good
citizenship, the great object for which
schools, were established is not reached.
The child should be taught the princi-
pics OF government, the relations exist
ing between the government and the gov.
erned, and that 1t is his duty, at all
times, and under all circumstances to
yield a cheerful and willing obedience to
rightly constituted authority. 1t is not
enough that we cultivate the intellect
ual faculties, for intellect is . power
which may DO used for good or evil.
The more intelligence vicious man has,
tho moro dangerous he is to society.
Right should always be kept before the
mind Of the child. II we require any
duty of our pupils, we should show them
that it is a duty. and that for this reason
We require it. We should make clear to
our pupils the connection between sell
government and the government Of ouI
country, which is founded ON the idea
that every citizen is capable of self gov.

Harlan's Indian Ring.

Probably the majority of Iowa
readers are cognizant of the fact
that Cooley, Sells, Fuller and others
of the corrupt ring who had charge
of the Indian Bureau under the ad-
ministration of Mr.. Harlan as Sec
rotary of the Interior, made them
selves very rich in an unprecedent-
eddy short space of time, but are
not aware of the exact process by
which it was accomplished. One
of the rascally transactions of these
gentry, which, as it seems, was
sanctioned and endorsed by Mr..
Harlan himself, is thus described
by Washington correspondent of
the State Register. The writer is
an Iowa Republican, not an office
holder or Office seeker; who states
nothing that cannot be established
by the record. We publish the
statements contained in the letter,
not hoping at this late day to iniu-
ence the election for Senator, but
for confirmation of our before ex-
pressed convictions in these col
umns, of Mr.. Harlan's mercenary
character:
1t is a matter of history that for
long time prior to the spring of
1869 the Indians never received
t,centy per cent. of the money drawn
from the United States Treasury
for their benefit. Somebody, got the
balance. 1t is well known here and
elsewhere in the country that prior
to that time mighty and unscrup-
utlous combination existed in
Washington and Kansas, known as
the "Indian Ring" which robbed
both the Government and the In.
dams, 1t is well known that Perry
Fuller, Of Kansas, was chief in
this organization.
1t will be borne in mind that
when James Harlan was made Sc
cretary of the Interior, Elijah Sells,
of Iowa, was Sixth Auditor Of the
Treasury-the most pleasant Bureau
Office in Westinghouse salary of
$4,000 per year. Mr.. Harlan at
once had him appointed Superinten-
dent of Southern Indians very
unpleasant position-at salary Of
only 81, 900 per year. His friends
naturally felt greatly surprised at
this voluntary change. The fact
soon came to light that this Perry
Fuller had taken Mr.. Sells son
William in as partner in the In
dian trade. Elijah Sells, Mr.. Har-
lan's new Superintendent, proceed
ed at once to- Baldwin City, Kansas,
and moved into tho fine residence Of
Perry Fuller at that place, as his
o,on property. His son, William
Sells, remained at Washington, the
chosen and special friend of the
family of Mr.. Harlan. Up to this
time Mr.. Harlan had lived in the
plainest style, but about this time
he purchased q splendid mansion
at a cost of $35, 900: he furnished it
in magnificent style, paying at one
time tl,70O,0O for carpets alone.
While engaged in furnishing the
house, young Sells, Perry Fullcr's
partner, was Mrs. Harlan's princi-
pal attendant in her trips to New
York, and assisted her in her sell
ections Of furniture. &C., DC.
Mr.. Harlan's style Of living, be-
came extravagant in the highest de-
gree. A magnificent carriage was
procured, with drivers and footmen
in livery attached, and Mrs. Harlan
made such investments - . Boa at

Vowel Sounds.
READ by G. WELLS BEFORE THE INsTI
TUTE, At BUFFALO GROVE, Dec. 18th.

rUTE, At BUFFALO GROVE, Dec. 18th
The authors of most of the later works
on Photography have considered the letter
a to have five, or six, distinct sounds.
Mr.. Wright giving distinct character
to the sound of in fare, pare &C.,
While Mr. McGufey distinguishes be-
tween the sound of in uas, and in part.
Still another writer, while making the
same distinction that Mr.. Wright does,
finds sixth sound expressed in ask, halt,
&c It seems to me that all these dis
tinctions SAVIOR somewhat Of hair-split-
ting. can observe no difference be.
tween tho position Of the organs of
speech in sounding as in soas, and in
part, only a slight difference in quantity.
The same is true Of the sound of in
csre and in can. Mr. Wright though so
discriminating when considering the
sounds of a, recognizes no difference be
tween the sound Of in no, and in bore,
and considers in shire substitute for .
long In my opinion in shire has its own
short sound, and . in here and similar situa-
lions is a substitute for shcrt, as this

it can be expressed beforer. Neither does
Mr.. Wright distinguish between the
sound Of u in tub and in fur, and makes
in her, i in Sir, &c, substitutes for u

a difference between the sounds of in
these situations, as there is between the
sound of in care, and in can. The
sixth sound Of a as in ask, fash, &c,
think is more easily distinguished than
the ones given above, but is not distinct
as some in other vowels which are ignor.
cd think the vowel sounds may he
conveniently classified as follows: Civ
ing to four sounds as in fate, fat, far,
fall; giving to TIVE sounds as in we, wet;
giving to two sounds as in high, it,
giving to three sounds as in cold, not,
do; giving to three sounds as in due,
hut full These represent all the vow.
el sounds, except where they are modifi
cd before and the sound of a in ask,
which is midway between short, and a

questionable whether there is any differ.

capacity OF the pulidlhg mas oeen
increased beyond that contemplated
in the original design. With this
change the Hospital, when COM
pleted, will accommodate 44o pa
tients.
The Commissioners say that to
fit the north wing for tho reception
of patients, it will be indispensable
to finish the parts now in process
of construction, erect the main cen
tire building, put in the heating and
ventilating apparatus and water
works, and supply the necessary
furniture. They submit the esti-
mate of Mr.. Josslyn, the Superin-
tendcnt, of the amount required to
do this, 1921, 1os, but as there is q
considerable quantity Of material
on hand, they express the belief
that an appropriation of 100000
will fit the building for the recep-
ton Of two hundred patients and
furnish accommodations for the
proper officers and attendants. The
Commissioners further say that
while they fully appreciate the ne
cessity for additional accommoda-
tons for the insane and have been
extremely anxious to- furnish the
same, still, after anxious discussion
of the subject, they came to the
conclusion that is was impractica-
BILE to do so without unlawful diver.
sion Of the funds to the construction
of temporary accommodations. In
this decision the Governor also
