School Exercises at Lewiston.---What Our Cor
respondent has 70 Say

EDITOR ARGUs.-Few people outside
the immediate residents of this vicin-
ity, can comprehend what school facili-
ties we have at command and what
inducements there may be for those
who intend locating in this section who
may have children of school age.
Being compelled to lay over on
account of the unpleasantness Of the
beautiful" which filled the air in an
uncerimOnious manner, we took the
opportunity, through an invitation, to
witness the exercises at this school,
under the management of Miss w. A.
Shipman.
The school session of this district
commenced on Dec. 3, 'S3, and closes
on the last Friday in June, 'S4. The
school house is large and well venti-
lated and the desks neatly arranged.
The number of scholars enrolled are
80 and the average daily attendance is
20. The Oldest scholar present being
16 years of age. Tho exercises, con-
sisting of essays and declamations, in
which all scholars took part, were splen~
did, especially when we consider tho
age of the pupils, which were princi-
pally, between six and ten years of age.
The declamations would have done
credit to an eastern school, and the
compositions were ably constructed
and well delivered and as whole
reflects credit to the teacher, Miss Ship
man, the scholars, and the community
One noticeable feature, which we
observed, was the hest of order which
prevailed. This school-building is the
largest in Meagber county, conse.
quently the school facilities are splen-
did and will be of great benefit in
promoting the interests of this enter

ical location as a central point-will be

The Tariff Issue.

IT would be very serious mistake
for the Texas democracy to make did
it conclude that because it was
thought best to defer the tariff issue
at Chicago, the party had either
gone over to protection, or had weak
ened in any way on the issue, which
is, par excellence, the active and vital
question upon which the party is
planted, and which gives it its hold
upon the people. The pernicious doc
trine Of protection is as distinctively
republican as the grateful principle of
free trade is democratic, and it mat
tiers little that the party authorities,
for prudential reasons, chang it
up for a season. This fact argues
no cooling off in the ardor of the free
trade people. 1t indicates only the
settled purposeto Eight the devil with
fire" for one time 1t is the "stooping
to conquer" 1t is a pity that such
necessity exists. It is indeed shame
full, but we are not responsible for the
situation, and accept it as we have be-
fore done, as the least of two evils. 1t
Is simply the failure, for sufficient
reasons, to shoot at the foe in sight, it
does not represent either a surrender
or conversion. The day win soon
