The question of the rights of eolored
children to equality with white children
in the public schools of Illinois is agitat-
ing the Legislature of that State. A
resolution reciting that colOred children
have in some instances been refused adj
mittanee into public schools. and direct
ing the Committee on Education to in
quire into it, has been adopted by the
Senate. An amendment providing sepa-
rate schools for the races, was voted down,
and what is more surprising, it was vio-
lently opposed by several fierce Demo
Gratis who argued that separate schoolswere
utterly impraeticahle and indefensible.
The chief ground of objection TO separate
schools was that the negro population was
too sparse % admit " them.

The Pilot issues a terrible sentence of
death against Messrs. Mckee, Alcorn,
Carter and others, whom it classes as
''conspirators. 1t banishes them to the
sulphurious regions without hope of re-
turn. And yet its bull is not SO fearful
in its practical operation upon these Re
publicans as the decree that issued from
the Elective office, and nipped in the
bud the Senatorial ASPIRATIONS of Col
G. Wiley Wells aud Others who had
reason to expect different treatment.
Whether these Republicans are all GO
ing to dishonorable deaths at the bid
ding of one man, and in order the he
may flourish, remains to be seen. There
is considerable vitality in some of them.

We mentioned last week the fact that
the Commissioners of Jackson county
had refused to grant license to sell
liquor for the next year. The Jackson
Republic says:
No MORE L1cENsE.-All honor to
the true ladies Of jackson !! All honor
to the Honorable Board of County Com
missioners! Mobiles and Cottonwood
counties, welcome your repenting sister.
During the session. of the Board the
subject of granting licenses to retail
Intoxicating liquors was brought up at
8 o'clock Wednesday morning. A pc
tition signed by thirty-seven ladies and
twenty gentlemen was presented to the
board asking that from and after July
LIST, 1874, that no license be granted to
sell malt or spirituous liquors within
the county. Prof. Humiston, of Worth
ington, being in town was asked by a
member of the Board to speak on the
subject, which he did in very sound
and forcible manner, urging the Board
in the name of morality, honesty. jus-
tice and truth to grant the petition
Remarks were also made by others, in
Guiding two of the Commissioners. A
vote was then taken and the entire
Board voted to grant the petition and
issue no more licenses. In taking this
noble step the Board have not only ben
Gifted the whole county to an immeas-
urable degree, but have won for them
selves honors which will ever be remem-
bered by every order-loving citizen.

If the street were not so wide we
would throw our friend Hollis a boquet
from the Hotel to the Feed Store, for
the way he plays 'Annie Laurie'' on
these Summer evenings-that is to say,
for the way he plays it on the violin on
these Summer evenings. Not that we
have any personal interest in Annie
Laurie, for there are other girls that
we like better, but for a ballad, give us
this old fav0rite always.

THE COUNTY FAIR GROUNDS.
WoRTHINGT0N, Mtnn., July l, 1874,
EDITOR ADVANCE last Spring there waS
something done towards organizing an Agricul-
tural Society. In fact, believe, 1t was fully
ganized, and a day fixed for selecting site or
location for Fair grounds. Everybody was in
terested to some extent, and everybody wished
| to have the location near his own premises, and
| those who wished to vote on tho location had to
"join," and to join was to put ones autograph
| to note OF two dollars due next August. Well,
| at the meeting held, Hersey wanted the grounds
| up that way, and Worthington wanted them this
way, and some wanted them one way and some
another, but most of them wanted the location
away from the lake so that great deal Of mon
ey might be expended in digging wells. Finally,
the meeting adjourned until June, with the ull-
Outstanding, ii remember rightly, that the Diff
ferent locations should be looked over and re.
port made, so that people could know more def.
nitely which site they wanted. According to my
almanac, (Dr. Walker's,) June has come and
gone and no site has been selected nor has any
meeting been held to select site,
think the best place for the Fair grounds is
on the bank Of the West Lake near where the
large park is to be located. There is plenty OF
room there for both or they could both be merg-
ed into one By having the Rock county road
run to the right Of the grounds, near the edge OF
the low ground, 1t would leave nearly twenty
i've to thirty acres Of good, high, level ground,
needing to be fenced on two sides only, as the
lake forms right angle Oh the other two Sides

THE GRAagHOPPER6.

For several days past the air has been
thick about the middle of the day with
flying grasshoppers. Many fields which
were in promising condition few days
ago have been stripped, and farmers
seem to be more apprehensive than
ever of a general destruction of the
crops. Thus far, however the destruc-
ton in Rock and Mobiles counties is
only partial, and if the pests should
leave within few days, most of the
farmers in the regions west, southwest
and south of Worthington would raise
splendid crops. The greatest destruc-
ton has been northeast and east Of US,
in Cottonwood, Watonwan, Jackson
and Martin counties. Several of the
large farms in Watonwan county have
been stripped of crops, those of J. w.
Bass and J. G. Butterfield being among
them. Every day now adds to the list
of those who will need aid, and it is
said that the Governor is considering
the matter of calling an extra session
of the Legislature to make an appro-
priati0n for the relief of the settlers.
