The Cues ion to be Decided

By those interested the welfare
of Superior and Douglas county al
the election Tuesday next, in the
selection of county .tficers, is not so
much what are my personal rela
tons to the different candidates, or
what are my personal feelings, or
whether this candidate Is g good
fellow" and that one is not, o.
which can play the best hand at
euchre or stand outside the most
" forty rod". But 1t is one OF far
more Importance. 1t is simply
which is The better fillcd to p rform
the duties Of the Office, and who is
not only better fitted, but who will
give his time aud attention to the
duties of the office, and serve tn,
public who employ him as any one
would expect and demand Of a
hired clerk, and as the law requires.

We would earnestly call the
attention of our school boards. pa
rents and teachers to the great
length Of time the small children
or for thai matter all the children
are forced to remain in the schools
of this town each day. Six hours
is about double the time experience
has taught educators small children
should be confined in any one dav.
Most of the schools even Of the high
est grades in the large cities, such
as Minneapolis, have their schools
with otly one session each dav. and
close at halt past one. The torture
to which small children are subject
ed by being compelled to sit still so
long, can only be appreciated BY
those who force them to it after
trying the experiment themselves.
We hope to see a change in our
schools SO soon as our school off
GERS put this test in practice.

of treatment, he turned upon Uncl.
Robert and left him senseless in the
road. We are glad to learn that his
INJURIES are not as serious as first
thought, and that he will be around
again in a few days. 1t is more
than likely that his being knocked
senseless saved his life, as the ami

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The President has
signed the Centennial appropriation bill
Representatives Whittehorne and Danford,
of the Committee on Naval Affairs, returned
to-day from Norfolk. whittier they went to
examine into naval affairs generally. Officers
connected with the Atlantic feet, whom they
examined, gave their views on the subject Of
reform, making valuable suggestions in that
direction. They say, in general terms, that
our vessels are inferior in construction,
speed, armament, ETC., TO nearly all other
vessels which they have seen belonging to
foreign nations, and that in the construction
of our vesseL obsolete types are followed.
As TO the monitors, they are valuable for
river aid harbor defense. They do not place
much value on the eight sloops- of.war recent
~ built, as they are deficient in speed, and
otherwise Objectionable. They, however.
consider the Trenton the best Of that class.
The abuse of political influence at the Nor
folk navy yard, and also the abuses Of the
open purchase system Of supplies, were dis
tinctly shown.
