of governments new force that will be cal
cuated to bring our government back to its
original design and sphere. We cannot deny
that the true genius Of our federal system has
fled from US, and we are to-day as complete
ly at the mercy OF monopolies and rings As
the subjects of any autocrats ever were at the
mercy of their tyrant. The general interests
of the people are wholly neglected, and the
whole power of The legislative branch of our
system is directed toward the furthering Of
money making schemes inaugurated and en-
gincered by leaders ofgrand and stupendOus
swindles. Toa high protective tariff too long
continued, may be primarily attributed this
evil and our deplorablc condition. Calhoun
our greatest statesman, long ago, predicted
that the high protective tariff would result in
continued complaints, il not in final disrup-
tion o. the federal union. All countries OF
such immense territory as ours, must encour-
age instead of cramping the farming interests
1t is bad policy in any Republic to foster
manufactures or any Kind of monopolies, for
the obvious reason, that it il indirectly en-

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.
We were in error as to the school law

wrong bill-one that failed Of enactment.
The bill we had before us was the one
originally introduced by Mr.. Mcleod III
the House, but as it finally passed several
important amendments were made to 1t.
Under the bill, as it finally passed,
county supcrintendcnts take the place OF
circuit superintendents. The governor
is authorized to appoint these superin-
tendents, who hold their offices until De
cember, when they are elected by the
county trustees At the same time the
trustees fix the salary of the superntsnd-
ent for the ensuing year, not to exceed
$500 in counties containing population
of less than eight thousand, and not to
exceed $500 in counties with greater
population. Trustees of school districts
receive no pay, but they are exempt from

The San Francisco Call of recent
date relates the following story of what
it truthfully terms "a horrible fx," and
which serves as an illustration of what
benefits may accrue from taking pa
per: "A man named Hughes, who keeps
a hog ranch near the Golden Gate Park,
met with an accident the other day
which nearly resulted in his death. His
house is situated considerable distance
from the road, and he lives alone, being
a gay bachelor. Last Monday after
noon, about three o'clock, Mr.. Hughes
had occasion to go to his we'll, which is
a few PAGES from the house. While fix
ing the rope he fell into the we'll, and
brought up at the bottom, depth of
about fifty feet, much shaken but not
materially injured. His utter helpless
ness completely overwhelmed him, but
at the top of his voice he began to
shout, hoping that some one in the park
would hear his crises. Monday even
ing passed, and still no response to his
frantic appeals for aid. His feelings,
while down in that we'll, with the cold
water up to his waist, can be better imag-
ined than described. On Tuesday morn
ing G.. A. Friermuth went to Hughe' 5
house. He heard the unfortunate mans
shouts, believing they came from the
park he paid no attention. He was sur
prised the next morning on going to de-
liver the paper by hearing the shouts
again. The paper which he had left the
day before was still lying on the stoop.
This fact increased his astonishment,
and, after listening attentively, curiosi-
ty drew him to the we'll, from which the
cries arose distinctly on his ear. Mr..
Friermuth was somewhat startled on
learning what was the matter. After a
few words had passed, Mr.. Friermuth
encouraged Hughes to hold out few
moments longer, and jumping on his
horse rode at full speed to obtain assis-
tance. In a short time he returned
with two men, and Hughes was fshed
up from the we'll in a deplorable condi-
ton from exhaustion, with his face as
pale as marble. After his inner man
had been fed, he explained the circum.
itances to his rescuers, and stated thai
he thought some one had set a traI
for him. He was under the impression
that his foot had caught in hook oil
something which had been placed neal
the mouth of the we'll. A diligent
search was made, but no evidence to coz.
firm his suspicion of foul play wa.
found. Hughes is man of strong con-
stitution, but it will probably take sew.
eral days to quiet his nerves"
