An exchange saws:


There is a vigorous fight going on IN
Aurora against the high school, aud an
injunction has been asked for to prevent
the collection of the tax for its support.
Those engaged ia the fight against the
high school think that the only branches
that should be taught in the public schools
are reading, writing and ciphering.
And the Peoria Democrat adds the fol
lowing:
We are glad the Aurora people are
waking up to little common sense on this
common school question. 1t was never
contemplated, when the common school
system was established, to go higher thar
| the common English branches. The

lowing paragraph:
No one justiies the act by which Judge
Chisholm lost his lite Everything that
is possible shall be done to arrest and
punish the guilty parties. do not hope
to silence the misrepresentation of men
who are making political capital out of
the unfortunate affair. The south has been
too leng tue victim Of misrepresentation
for your people to become willing suddenly
t. hear both sides before OoHGeuuiDx.
The recent kilograms and articles that
have appeared in northern papers are
based solely upon my refusal to allow
Kemper county to be invaded by a body
of men from other counties. The folly of
conserving to such proposition when no
trouble was apprehended must be appar-
ent to every reasonable person.
