RANDALL CORRESPONDENCE. "A
report of School Examination or
pic mic in school district No. 1, IN
the town of Randall, would be deem
ed by the inhabitants of the district
and by the public generally. worthy
of publication. A lawsuit IN rela-
ton to the payment of a teachers
wages, commencing ina Justices
court, and terminating in the SUI
preme court, is worthy Of publica-
ton. Last week we published a
communication from Thomas Mona
CHAN, of Randall, in relation to a suit
involving the collection of teachers
wages in School District No. 1,
Randall, commencing in Justices
Court and terminating in the SUI
preme Court. This week we publish
a communication from VIM. A. Nc
Kesson of the same town, IN rela-
ton to the same suit.
These communications are both
we'll written, and interesting, espe.
cially to the inhabitants of the dis
trict. and yet they are both cbjec-
tionable-objectionable on account
of their seviere personalities, and the
writers calling each OTHER hard names
or using de ogatory words In relation
to each other.
There MAY be some question OF the
propriety of our admitting commn-
nications embracing such severe per.
sonalities and applying such oppro-
bious words to each other. But we
believe it is not we'll settled how
personally severe and opProbrlous
but not libellous, communication
may be, andyet admit capitalization.
We fell that we have gone to the
full bounds of propriety, In choosing
between the alienation of admission
or rejection, in giving admission tc
these communications And now we
will say that hereafter we shall mo-
admit, from either of the writer's,
anything SO severely personal and
opprobious, and we would respect.
fully suggest that they now let tht
subject drop.

PROFESSOR CUMMINGS course of
Lectures on Geology in Kenosha will
close with his lecture on Friday eve
ming. And that course will only
lust have introduced the teachings
Of Geology. A second course would
be more interesting than the first.
We understand the Prof. gave a lee
ture at Milwaukee on Wisconsin,
which was considered the most IN
terestipg of his lectures. Prof. Gun
ming can give a lecture here on Wis
consin, dividing the state by a line
running from Kenosha to the Miss
issippi at La Crosse, which may be
extended hundred miles beyond,
which, we have reason to believe,
would be very interesting to our
people. And it seems to US that
lecture, such as Prof. Cunning could
give, presenting briefly the teach
ings Of Geology on the origin of the
Earth, its condition upon Its arrival
in It's orbit, its changes apd develop
ments and productions, its present
condition, the origin Of the NANTES
tatlons Of life, including vegetable,
animal, human and spiritual life,
and their present indictments,
would be the most interesting of his
series of lectures, and we hope Prof
Cunning may be induced to give
two more lectures certainly. and a.
many more as may be practicable
and profitable.
Since the above was in type we learl
that Prof. Cunning proposes to CIV
three more lectures the first to be OF
Monday evening.

The Mnnicipal Election.

The near approach of our annual munich
pal election has given rise 10 the usual
amount of interest among our citizens in the
nominations, which is perhaps somewhat
heightened by the fact that municipal judge
is to be chosen for term of four years. The
Democrats have already taken the field, and
the Republican caucuses are called for the
first of next week.
1t is generally agreed among Republicans
that Mayor Wescots shall be renominated.
He has been painstaking, industrious and
efficient magistrate, has discharged the duties
.of his Office with commendable impartaty
and strict fidelity, and has displayed that
push and energy characteristic of the young
business man. The duties attached to the
mayoralty have very considerably increased
since his first election, and he has applied
himself to them with ardor and persever-
mittees he has carefully looked after the ma
terial interests of the city.
As to the candidate for municipal judge
there are differences of opinion. Judge Nor
ris is candidate for reelection. There is no
question that he has discharged the duties of
his position to the best of his ability. Perci-
val Bonney esq.,, is favorably mentioned in
connection with the office. M. Bonney is a
man who would bring to the office the expert
ence acquired in active general practice, and
the breadth OF view which results from ex-
tensive and varied reading and hard study in
the theory of his profession. He would make
an able and crcumspect judge. Ex-Judge
Kingsbury's name is also mentioned. Dur
ing his former incumbency Judge Kingsbury
fulfilled the duties of his position in credit
able and satisfactory manner.
We sincerely hope that the selection of
members of the school committee will not be
made political question. 1t is the duty of
every good citizen to select and vote for the
men who, in his judgment, are the best quail
flied for the position, irrespective of their par
ty predictions or record. Ward politics
should have nothing to do with the selection
of the committee. Now that the board has
been reconstructed let it be free hereafter
from even the suspicion of partisanship, and
let the people elect those men who are lest
suited by experience, OF education, or natu-
raj ability for the responsible if not onerous
duties of school committeeman. No man
should be governed by caucus decision,
and in nis choice between the oppos-
ing candidates in his ward his vote should
be given to that candidate who is best fitted
for the position, whatever his politics may be.
The question is one in which politics are not
concerned, and the Juggling of partizanship
into it should not be allowed to gain The force
of precedent.

Hansen, Dane, has published memoran-
dum which was conveyed to Bismarck from
France in 1866. 1t proposes the erection of a

avoid contact and rivalry between France and
Prussia, in view of the immense increase Of
the latter's power.
In 1920 the whole anthracite production of
the United States was only 1865 tons. In 1910
it had risen to S64 379 tons, and in 1860 to near
ly ten times that amount, or S,513, l23 tons. In
1873 it was 19,5S5,17S tors, or 100 per cent.
more than the production of 1860. The busi-
ness depression and the stoppage of so many
manufactures reduced the production in 1874
to about 49, 70OO 900 tons; but there is every rea-
son to hope that when times are again prosper
GUS the increase will, for some years to come,
be almost or quite as rapid as ever, and that
the amount produced in 1880 will not he less
than twenty-five or thirty million tons.

little chapel at Surry to the Orleans estate at

A NEW light has burst upon the Partisan
world. A self-styled Baron with long name
offers to instruct persons in the art of con-
versation for the low price of five dollars
month, or he viii accept limited number of
invitations to dinner (limited probably by the
capacity Of his stomach) at five dollars an in
vitation and will talk so sweetly that the
guests will quite forget the grosser pleasures
of the table. He expressly announces that
in his system ideas are not necessary to con-
versation. We fear the Baron would meet
with ill-success in this country, for we know
scores of people who can talk twenty-three
hours out of the twenty-four, and not convey
single idea. With SO much native talent at
home we have no need of foreign teachers.

THOSE who doubt If England has made
much political progress durin the last sixty
years will have that doubt cleared up by a
perusal of Earl Russelrs "Recollections."
That statesman tells us that it was no un
common thing in 1912 for nobleman to go
on a hunting party accompanied by six or
seven members of parliament of his own ere
ating. The buying of of freehold tenures in
small boroughs was very common practice.
s'If freeholder refused to SELL" says Earl
Russell, sit was not an uncommon practice to
blow up his house with gunpowder and thus
disfranchise political opponent. In this
manner number of nomination boroughs
were created, and they became valuable
property" This was in the days when the
Independent Briton persisted in chanting
that he would never. never be slave.

THE STEAMBOAT BILL.

The steamboat bill, as reported back to the
Senate, is changed by the committee on COM
merce in the following particulars: 1t is
amended so as to prohibit the carrying of e&>
plosive and dangerous materials in any and all
passenger steamers, except ferry boats, wheth-
er or not there are other means of conveyance
on the same route. Life preservers must be
capable of sustaining twenty-four pounds each,
instead of only eighteen pounds A clause is
inserted requiring at least one locked-up safety
valve on every vessel. The sections OF the bill
requiring hydrostatic test of boilers and regu-
lating the manufacture, stamping and inspec-
ton of hulls and boilers are all stricken out, SO
as to leave the present law in force. The COM
mittee also strike out the provisions relating to
the licensing and employment OF mates and
other subordinate officers; the new directions
as to the navigation of vessels meeting or pass
ing each other; the inspection and licensing OF
vessels, and the ''liabillty clause of the House
bill, leaving the present law unchanged on all
these subjects The plotage section is modi-
fen so as to provide merely that vessels trading
between district and district, or engaged IN the
fisheries, shall not be compelled TO receive or
pay pilots The new definitions of the various
classes of vessels are also omitted. A proyiso
is added that one-half of all the penalties not
specifically otherwise provided for shall be paid
to the respective informers.
THE CAUCUS FORCE BILL.
The caucus "force' bill, it appears, has had
hard time in the special committee on Ala
bama affairs, to which it was turned over for
formal action and presentation to the house.
1t was supposed that, as matter of course,
the three Republicans on that committee,
Messrs Coburn, Albright and Cannon, would
agree to the bill and direct 1t TO be reported
but when the committee met to consider
it, Mr. Cannon would not agree to the hdoeds
corpas section, and as the two Democrats on
the committee, Messrs. Buckner and Luttrell,
would go with him. making a majority, the
measure was in an awkward predcament. To
extricate it, the Republicans on the committee
agreed to turn it over to the Vicksburg special
committee, and the latter, it is believed, Will
report the bill as agreed upon in the caucus.
