WHO DAT KN0CKIE' AT DE DO y

The School Board had meeting las
night and voted to adhere to the extraordi
nary policy adopted few weeks ago, o.
refusing to admit TO grade One those pu,
pills who have passed a successful exami,
nation in grade Two.
All there is of this school house muddle
is, in plain English, just this: Ever since
our public schools were established, il has
been customary, when children passed a
successful examination in one class, to pro-
mote them TO the next class above. and
thus those who form the A class of the sec
ond grade this term, will constitute the B
class OF the first grade (which is in the
High SCHOOL, next term. This has always
been done heretofore, but the examinations
at the closing of the term, some ten days
ago, developed the startling fact that if the
same rule should be adhered to this term,
three or four little nigges would be into
the High School before the Board could
say Jack Robinson. Hence, something had
to be done, and done suddenly. The Board
considered the matter, but didn't know
what to do about it; this "ebony bird"
mHa be put out, but the Board couldn't do
it, and his shadow still foated on the
floor;" then the matter was referred to a
committee, but the committee gave it up,
and referred it to the Superintendent. Every
emergency has its man, and the man for
this emergency was the Superintendent.
He went into himself little while, and
then came forth with list of questions
which these second grade pupils should be
required to answer before the doors of the |
High School should open TO them. |
And here's where the Professor had |
the dead wood" on the young ones,
Tor he knew that they had not been pre-
pared, in the grades through which they
lad passed, for such an examination. But
tor fear q few OF them might possibly pass
the extra examination, and for fear some
of those few might possibly be colored chill
dren, the Board resolved that there
should be no b class of the
first grade, this term, unless at
least twelve should demonstrate their
ability to pass successfully through the
newly-established ordeal. The result of the
examination was, that only one or two
passed and thus the matter stands. Be-
tween twenty and thirty children have
gone through the second grade, but can't
get into the first, and now have to choose ,
between staying at home and going back ,
into the class they came from. But the
Board and the Superintendent are happy,
in having circumvented the niggers. by
irst abolishing their own High School, and
lhen closing the doors Of the other.

IT TAKBS.

Our nomination OF Senator Ingalls, fol
the Vice-Presidency meets with general
favor from the press. The article has been
extensively copied not only by Kansas pa
pers, but by those of other States, and is
uniformly commented upon with favor
Mr.. Ingalls, has not been long in the Senate,
but he has already won a reputation which
is flatterins to himself and creditable to
the State. He IS thorough parliamenta-
rian, and has received many compliments
ry notices from the papers OF the East, as
being one of the finest presiding officers
that ever occupied the chair Of the United
States Senate.

EXCESSIVE TAXATION.

Hon. J. C. Stone, member OF the Legis.
lature from the Fourth ward Of this city, Is
the author Of bill now before the House
of Representatives, for an act to prevent ex-
cessive taxation. The plan proposed by
General Stone, is to submit every proposed
levy TO vote OF the people, upon whom
the tax is TO fall, and If the manner oil car
rying the law into effect, can be made prac-
ticable, the act will have very salutary
effect, for the necessities OF the times de-
mand that their should BE- some limit TO
the powers OF Boards and Councils in the
levying OF taxes.

WHAT 10 II FOR |,

We receive the following note from q
subscriber yesterday afternoon:
In your paper this morning you print a
long list OF the names of churches that
have been invited 10 go TO Mr.. Beecher's
advisory council" and among the rest |
noticed the name of our church. They have
SO many councils and things in Brooklyn l
can't keep the hang of them, and l would
like TO have you tell ME, if you can, what
this "advisory councip is about. I shall
probably be q delegate from our church,
and would like to know what I'm going
for s.
Like our correspondent, We are unable to
keep "the hang" of all the councils and
things" at Brooklyn. We don't profess to
be @upn in church affairs, but from all the
information We can gather on the subject,
We conclude that Plymouth church wants
the advice of her sister churches ON one or
two important points, and to this end ha.
called the "sdvisory council" She wants
to know whether it is hetter for her pastor
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1876-02-10

to defy the world, the flesh, and the devil,
and fight right ahead on the same lire, or
succumb to the pressure Of public opinion
and swear of. And if the former course Is
agreed upon, she wants 10 know whether
the arrangement cannot be made general, 50
that all the churches can enjoy equal privi-
leges, and thus avoid the everlasting racket
Which follows the assumption Of such rights
in isolated cases.
We may +. somewhat in error in this
matter, for, as we have already said we are
not very familiar with church Affairs, but
that's our understanding OF the purposes of
the advisory council" and there dosen't
seem to be anything else that it ceuld do.

A MODEL APOLOGY.

A correspondent of the Charlie ston Neus
who was expelled from the privileges OF
the floor of the South Carolina House OF
Representatives, was informed that he mus,
apologize before he could be re-admit,ed.
He accordingly wrote: 81 am charged with
accusing certain members of your honora-
ble body with jobbing, corrupt practices,
DC. 1 did make such charges. 1t is true,
and am sorry for it." The House does
not consider the apology" satisfactory.

and Fort Leavenworth.
PLATTE COUNTY, MO.
The wheat crop of the above-named
county is in excellent condition. The mild
weather has produced a slow but steady
growth, so that the fields everywhere, even
in this wintry month, present the greenness
of May. Old farmers are anticipating an
unusually large yield. The acreage is equal
TO or greater than any preceding year.
Seed corn for the coming crop is being i'm
ported from other States, owing to the fact
that the grasshoppers were later in leaving
this section than Others, and corn planted
after their exit failed TO mature. The soft
corn makes an excellent feed. and stock of
all kinds looks exceedingly well. A great
number of cattle and hogs have been fat
tened there this winter and shipped to our
own and neishboriny cities.
JACKSON COUNTY, KAN.
The union revival meetings which have
been carried on here the past two months
left US about one hundred converts.
The Holton omnibuses carry passengers
free. Cause why-new hotel. The excite
ment will only be temporary.
The grasshopper bill introduced in the
Legislature by Judge Halderman, meets
with general favor. The Judge believes in
locking the stable door before the horse is
stolen, which is right.
Holton has two bran new doctors and
still it is not happy.
If Stilling's railroad bill becomes law,
then away goes the Narrow Gauge to the |
Solomon Valley. This at least SEEMS to be
the general belief out West. What We have
to cay is, the whole country from Holton to
The Western boundry of the Solomon, needs
md must have a narrow gauge railways.
This means building up of large area
u fertile and unsettled country, cheap rates
II travel and transportation, apd strict at

CuRIsrMAs NOVELTIES

CHRIeTMAS NOVELTIES
The n,agasins are putting on their Christmas
spendors for the little folks. Among the novelties
are bonbons which are wonderful limitations OF pre-
cious stones, and are nearly costly. Christmas
trees are to be replaced by huge snowballs, made
artfuly with hoops and muslin. They are OF course
TO contain the assorted playthings which parents,
buy to be looked at but which small boys and girls
cram mscelIaneously into their pockets preparatory
to smashing them. This has caused great sensa-
ton among the youngsters.
The fashionable costumes for Christmas balls are
known as the Four Seasons. Thus every beauty can
take her choice. Spring for those old enough to be
in their autumn, winter for those young misses who
should be content with spring, autumn for those
