Senator Read has introduced a bill into
the Senate of Kentucky the gist OF which
il to do away with CoGaty Commission
ers and in lieu thereof have u Commis-
siOner to each Judicial, district. The
Common School system of Kentucky
seems to have been the butt Tor every
malcontent to vent his spleen upon ever
since the State has had school system.
Every Legislature seems to have kind
of mania for improving the Common
School laws Of the State: aud every Im~
proyement is most execra0le failure.
This District Commissions" idea seems
10 my mind the elimination of all evil
to the educational interests of the State
Where is there County Commissioner
who has been able to do his whole duty
Say that the judicial districts average
seven counties and that each county ay-
erage5 sixty~live school districts; then
in each district we have forr hundred
&nd tiity>five school districts for the Cons
misson TO visi; once year-a big UNI
dertaking when we renectthat it must
all be done between the first Of Septern-
Der and the middle of the succeeding
March. But this is not all, he must al
ter the districts as they become too popu-
lous or two sparsely populated, he must
discontinue some, must often unite two
into one. lie must hear and decide be-
tween trustees aud teachers, mast be at
the examination Of every teacher. receive
and answer correspondence from all the
trustees, teachers and every body else that
has or iaucIes he has a grievance; and
how is be to DO all this in places where
he has no other means OF informing
himself than by his own personal pres
ence? 1t seems that ANY man who
knows anything OF the present working
of the Commissioner system must see
the utter fuIiliiy OF such a plan. al
this is for the sake of retrenchment
How our legislators must have retreuchs
ment on the brain There is nothing in
it but confusion worse coniounded Re-
trenchment that will throw the whole sys-
tenn out OF gear and cause more expense
and trouble to be gotten rid OF than any
other legislative hobby has cost the State
since the Common School system has
been adopted. A far cheaper plan to
the Slate-one less intricate and far more
raciicable-O that will be better un>
understood and appreciated BY the peo-
pie who pay the tsxes-is for each county
to have its own Commissioner, with his
salary provided as now, supplemented
from the county levy TO a sum that will
enable him to devote bis whole time ard
all his energies TO the duties OF his Office.
Our talented Superintendent in an able
communication to the Courier-J Ournal of
the II February, takes grounds against
the bill, ard hits some giant blows in the
cause Of right | see nothing in Senator
RS bill but disaster to the Common
School system.
hope the Legislature of the State
will act promptly and wisely against this
mad attack upon the interests of the
State. If the bill is passed ] shall look
upon it as the barbinger of the downfall
of the Common School system of the
| State. l.

WhitesVIlie Letter.
WHITEsvILLE, KY, Feb. ?.

WHITEsvILLE, KY, Feb. 2.
We pen you few lines from these
parts.
Whitesville is a nice little town, si;u-
ated near the Ohio and Daviess county
line. II is a thriving prosperous village,
noted for its healthfulness and good NOR
ais, though occasionally king Alcohol
disturbs the quietude OF her citizens by a
social knock down, )if the glass be social
the result OF taking it should beg. In
olden time the people called getting
drunk "going down to Richmond" So
once in while some OF the boys IN this
section go down"-they say its fine
going, but coming back is up hill bust
ness; Richmond the once central point
Of attraction is fast crumbling and MUIR
ply town seems to be the objective point
here-all honor TO tine movement. great
good is being accomplished in this sec
ton through the advocates and friends OF
temperance The masses seem to be
enthused upon the subject, and we truly
hope the time is fast approaching when
the head OF every family will be an earn~
est advocate OF temperance and reform.
Some hundred and twenty have taken
the pledge at this place and We have ev-
cry reason to believe that they mean bus
mess; the principles that underle the
structure will ne'er grow dim; the peace
and happiness OF our people and the per-
petuiiy OF our free institutions depend up
on the downfall of intemperance and the
ultimate removal of this dreadful canker
worm which has brought shame and dis
grace upon our common country. We
favor Judge S;uart's petition. it 10 a shot
in the right direction, and we trust our
representatives will give it due eonsidera>
ton. More anon. Respct'y, E. +. I.

The canal ring run the Democratic
county convention yesterday. The
flies walked into the spiders parlor,
and were appointed delegates to the
Oakland convention, and will give
Mr.. Walsh the very empty compli-
ment of the vote of this county.
But in spite of this, the arrange
ments are all made for the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Peter, who will get the
votes of Garrett, Montgomery and
Washington counties, y in all, on the
first ballot, and will, of course, be
nominated, as there will be but %
votes in the convention.
1t is just possible the canal people
will weaken at the last minute, and
drop Mr.. Peter. In that event Mr..
Walsh will be nominated, in the des-
perate hope of recOnciling the pros
pective boilers. Then what will be-
come of Mr.. Peters friends? Are
they to be ignored? And won't the
price be a very big one ?-for it is

Cooper writes that the prompt back
ing up by large force of deputies of
the revenue officers in the perfOr-
nance of their duties has done a good
deal to bring the people to their
senses. They are beginning to re-
alize that the government intends to
put thequietus to moonshine whisky.
Collector Cooper also says that a
number of illicit distillers have ex-
pressed a desire to come forward,
surrender themselves up, and ac-
knowledge their guilt if they can re-
eeive terms similar to those granted
the offenders in South Carolina.

A copy of the Chinese Encyclope-
Ola, containing in 5000 volumes all
important writings by Chinese au-
thors between 100 B. G. and 100 A.
d., has recently been received at the
British Museum. A commission of
eminent scholars were forty years
preparing and revising it; for its
printing vast font of copper type
was cast by Jesuit missionaries; only
one hundred copies were printed,
and then, it is said, the type was
broken up. In spite of the conse-
quent rarity of copies of the Ency-
clop@dia, the labor of its preparation
and the fact that it is the repository
of the entire literature of nation,
its 1920 volumes have been bought
by the Museum for about $1.50
apiece. Chinese literature would
seem to be at a discount.

kept back by the colored militia on
guard, but on second rush the guard
fired, seriously wounding one of the

where there have been 400 cases and
80 deaths out of a remaining popula-
ton of $50. The sick ara dying with
