Truth advises the Government to compro-
mise with Bliss. AT the rate of $50 day he
can spin the Star Route trial out until the
next President is inaugurated and Ingersoll
and Merrick have added several thousand new
words to the dictionary. But II a good round
sum were offered Bliss to administer a case
of extra dry to the Star. Route case and dry up
the evidence, he would undoubtedly take 1t
and let the men be acquitted. This PROPOSE
tion is better worth trying than Dorsey and
Brady are.

The result of the examination Just had is

that the school is standing not alone on a
sound basis, but also that it has made signif-
cant progress, and drawing nearer to the
main object for which il was established.
The aim Of the founders who were mostly
Germans, was principally to give their chill
dren such an education as was required by
the existing conditions and surroundings of
the country, and also to save and preserve
German language and knowledge for the
future. The school was not to be high
school nor of a strictly elementary character
but TO instll such knowledge as to enable the
scholars to be independent and self-sustain-
ing in their future relations to society,"
and to create for themselves happiness and
contentment in time to come. Regarding TO-

that the cotton buyers have agents in all the

direct from them. The whole is paid for
