Hon. William E. Coleman has issued the
following circular concerning Spring
schools:
The question is often asked. "Under the new
law can we have Spring school in ISS4f''
Answer: That will depend entirely upon
circumstances. ALI moneys voted for school
purposes at the annual meeting, April ], 1854,
must be applied to the maintenance and sup
PORT of schools during the year included be-
tween July !, 1854, and June SO, 1885; and the
money voted e next April can not be used to
and june The last General Assembly changed
the school year SO that it now begins July
school meeting, April l. 1884, provision must
be made for the year following July l, 1884,
and no money voted for school purposes" at
So, the only way in which you can have
Spring school is this: In the event you have
toward running a Spring school. But all
schools must close on, or before, June -, 1854.
The present school year began April 3, 1883:
under the old law, and under the new law, will
continue to June 3d. 1884; therefore. the State
appointments for 1883 and 1854 both fall

1884.
If, at the annual meeting, it is found that
there is no money remaining to the credit o.,
the district, you can not have Spring school.
Warrants drawn during this school year, l. c.,
prior to July l, 1884, can not be paid from tax
es collected after July l, 1SS4 without it should
be back taxes, that should have been paid
prior to July l. 1884.
1t will be well for every district to look to
this matter, and start in straight under the
new law.
AT the annual meeting, April 1, 1884, prepa-
ration must be made for the entire time from
July /, 1884, to July /, 1885, and should you de-

This warning is given thus early that all may

CLEVELAND At NOME.

The greater part of the complaint
against Governor Cleveland in New
York comes of his veto of four differ
ent bills which had been passed by the
Republican assembly.
One of the bills was drawn to reduce
fare ON the elevated railroad from ten
to five cents, and that the present COM
missionevs' hours should be abolished.
These roads are used largely by the
poor people. mechanics. laborers,
clerks, etc, in going to and from their
daily work. Samuel j. Tilden and
Cyrus W. Field are part if not sole
owners of part Of the roads.
Another bill provided that the
hours Of labor for conductors and
drivers on street railways, and of en-
gineers. firemen and other labOrers ON
the elevated railroads should be re-
duced from fifteen and seventeen to
twelve.
The third bill provided that Roman
Catholic clergymen might hold relig-
ious services for their own people at
the house refuge on Randal's island.
The fourth bill was known as the
Catholic protectory bill. The protec-
tory is reformatory institution, es-
tablishcd and supported by the Catho-
lie church. Depraved young men and
women ale sent there by certain courts
for various offenses, and it il univer-
sally admitted that the most excellent
work has been wrought for their re-
clamation. The state has never paid a
single dollar toward the support OF
the institution. Last fall it became
necessary to expend large sum for
improving the sewerage of the insti-
tuition $50, 0O0-and this the state
was asked to furnish the means to do.
The pepition was accompanied by a
pledge that not "a dolla: beyond the
sum named would ever be asked for
The governor had reasons satisfac-
tory to himself for vetOing these bills
but that does not count among the la
boring people who need respite from
labor long enough at any rate to get a
little sleep.
Catholic people do not see any good
reason why they should not enjoy the
privileged accorded to other denomi-
nations.

LEGAL MAxlMS.

! Notwithstanding that the road 10
wealth and distinction in the legal
profession is strewn with failures,
| thousands of young men are constant
ly setting out on the Journey. While
no set of rules can cover al! cases, OF
make success certain, il is believed
that obedience TO certain directions
NAV prove of great value to the young
| lawyer.
The following rules were written
| out some wears ago for the benefit OF
young practitioner, and are now for
the first time printed ut the request OF
q wcll-known and successful lawyer OF
this city, who has found them of great
service in his own professional career:
|. Any county seat is a good place
TO practice law-for the right man.
2. Select an office in a convenient
locality and never remove from it.
Have two rooms plainly furnished A
law Off &c is not a parlor.
8. Get ain sigu and never have it
repainted. In time il will acquire a
solemn legal creak, as it rwings to aud
fro: informing the passer-by by night
rs well as by day that this is the old
reliable law sop.
4. Never be found in your oil &c
doing anything except reading in a
lcathcr-covered book or writing on
legal cap paper. The lawyer who
plays checkers is lost.
5. LeaAe a light burning in Your
back office all night. People will say
that old cuss is getting up some new
and mysterious form of law suit.
6. Never talk about your important
cases. Ii is too thin. Ii is better
when talking with group on the
street, to excuse yourself and hurry
away to your Office. People will Won
der what is up now.
Z. Never make speeches for nothing
Your business is with the District
Court: no, the American eagle. IL is
better 10 be pointed out as the man
who got 81 900 for talking an hour to
a Judge who had already made up his
mind. than TO deliver all the Fourth of
july oralions in the congressional dis
trict.
3. Cultivate civil rather than crimi-
nal business. The man whose stolen
farm YOU enable him to keep. can do
more for you than the murderer whose
neck you have saved.
9. Remember that law is 10 lsymcn
an occult and mysterious science. If
il were not SO, every fool would be his
own lawyer instead of employing YOU.
Cultivate mystery: walk on your
toes, and whisper TO every body in the
court room except the judge. the wit
ness on the stand. and the jury. and
never yell at the judge.
10. Let all your ends and aims be
law. Marry woman whose property
is in litigation, and law all the other
heirs TO death.
IL. Have no vices and no virtues 10
talk about.
IL. BY following these directions
YOU will be able at sixty years of age
to turn over your practice TO your
drunken son, and at seventy YOU will
drop dead of appoplexy on the floor Of
the house of represen'ativcs.-Cham-
pion.

These were the words Of ex-Gov.
St. John. We suppose he knew what

bers hearing the ex-governor say, only
two years ago, that he was Republi-

full, he would vote the Republican
ticket. We believed he realized what
he was saving then, but present indi-
cations seem to say he did not.
1t seems to say that St. John works
for what's in thing, and concluding
that he had sucked all the milk out of

merits of their candidate instead
of upon the dement's of the Democrat
