In consideration OF this state of the finances
Dlrectar Markle offered the following resolution
which was carried:
Resol,ed, That the Office OF Superintendent ui
schools be abolished; that the second assistants
salary be lowered 10 5000; that the third ward
school be abolished, and the pupils hr seated in
the fourth and fifth ward schools, aud that the
schools commence on Sept. 18th, instead Of Sep
tember 4th, and close the usual time in June, 1871
Which means that Mr.. Schrccb's salary i, cut
down 1900, Miss Georges 800; and the pay
roll relieved Of the expense Of running the
schools two weeks in September, all Of which
savings will about cover the deficiency seen IN
the report.
After other business, mostly routine, the Board

Gates. Yes, but who will lend gold to nation
that refuses to make any provision for paying
it back! TIE proposition looks to Us like a
scheme of reputation.
The total amount of the interest bear
ing debt of the United States IS about
Sl.7O0, 900, and the interest on that. at
an average rate of IL per cent. would
be about S93, 900, 900, while the revenues
derived from taxation are over $780,
100000.
What then is to prevent the govern
ment receiving greenbacks tor $500, oOO,-
900 OF debts due to the government.
leaving $780, 100000 to be paid in gold?
Would there be any reputation in that?
And would it not appreciate the value
of greenbacks and decrease the differ
ence between paper and gold, and is not
that what the hard money men are clam
oring for?
And ifthe difference between green
backs and gold is so decreased to moth
in or next to nothing cannot the gov
eminent exchange greenbacks for golt
if It needs more than the one third ofth'
revenues will give it?
This is precisely the Independent plat
form-to make "greenbacks receivable
tor all debts and taxes due to the u. S
government, except 50 much Of the du
ties on imports as may be necessary t.
pay the interest on the public debt"

IN UNJUST AND UNVISE Law
The hitchield News-Ledger very
properly denounces what is known as
the "tiilman Law" passed by the last
Legislature 1t provides, in effect, that
If any party shall build thirty miles OF
railroad to connect Breckenridge with
Glyndon, that the ST. Paul & Pacific Rail
road company shall forever forfeit all the
anbuilt road from Merose northwest
wardIy /, imposes 4 penalty on rail
road building it denies the main line
all the great advantages which would
result from a connection with Manitoba
aud the Black Hills via the NortAern
Pacific. As the News Ledger says.
The completion u these thirty miles Of road
would base added live cents 70 the value OF ev-
4ry bushp 0t wheat III tAis county, Il would
nave created 3. demand from the West and
North for every available thing produced here
But Tor this Internal law w might III tue next
ninety DAYS have been rejoicing over the COM
petlon OF, the break III the line OF the road be-
tween Breckenridge and GIyndon. This would
have opened up a new market for every article
this section OF country has for export. Null
men, wheat growers, stock ralsers, all would
all e have been benefited As well as that sec
ton of country to which tha articles were eN-
ported 1t would have added pereeptible
value to every foot OF land in Meeker county.
And see what an accommodation the compile
ton OF this road would have been for the peo-
pie OF Manitoba All Of the travel and It Is
argc, all Of the freight for that region would
have passei over this line. The receipts OF the
road would have been quadruplsd, the benefit
To the state would have been proportionally
| great, its receipts from the three per mt tax

We trust 4 special effort will be made

The fact referred to in the above caption are

achieved by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Thai
renowned tonic is daily adding fresh laurels OF
popularity to the great reputation which is long
since obtained q remedy for dyspepsia, consti-
patton, biliousness, nervous disorders, urinary

matism and debility and demonstrating to the sat-
sfaetion of the public its superiority to the pallia
tives which food the market, make-be-lives cures
are trumpeted in manufactured testimonials.
Tt is subject of honest pride to the prOprietors
Of Hostetter's Bitters, that claims have ever
been advanced in It's behalf that could not be cor
roborated by ample proofs, but most asSnredly had
such been the case, they could have expected moth
ing better than that preparation bolstered up by
statements of the same stripe as those INDUCED in
by proprietors of cheap local bters and inalco
holic rubbish, would speedily die of inanition.
Snch has been the fate of thousands of bepuffed
shanis rather less eficacious than bilge water
The success of the Btters is attributable to their
genuine excellence. The public has observed that
what they are advertised to do they do, and that
no Incredible pretensions are made this &C

retain the confidence and respect of enlightened

OBITUARY..
From the HOlstOn Methodist.


MRS. MARY A. G. CANNON
was born April %, 1s49, and died at her
fathers residence, near Beams Station
Granger county, Tenn, March 20, 1876.
She was daughter of Judge James T
Shields, and granddaughter ofRev. Rob-
ert Glenn, deceased, who was once pas
tor of various Presbyterian Churches in
Virginia, East Tennessee and the far
West, and divine of great piety, learn
ing and eloquence. She inherited much
of his intellect and force of character.
She was happily married to w. D..
Cannon, Esq, now of Morristown,
April 10, 1871, with whom she lived in
great concord and affection till released
from earth's sorrows. xee Ill e
During the great revival in the Meth
odist Church at Morristown, which COM
menced with and followed the Annual
Conference session at that place In Octo-
Der, 1871, she, with her husband, knelt.
at the altar as a penitent. During the
meeting the hearts of both were gently;
opened and strangely warmed. Though
she never connected herself with any
branch of the visible Church, she held
fast her pFofession to the last, and has no
doubt escaped the evil TO come and en-
tered into the rest that remains for the
people of God.
