Supt. Belden last week was visiting the
schools in Clayton, Grand Meadow and
Pleasant Valley.
The Attorney General has decided that
the law regarding the notice of annual
meeting IS directory merely, and notice
is not absolutely necessary in order to
make the meeting legal, except for vote
on raising money or fixing site for school
house. Let the annual meetings all be
held next Saturday.
The Attorney General last Saturday
filed an opinion, in which he holds that
county commissioners have no power to
form new school districts, or to alter the
boundaries or unite districts, except CUP
on the petition of a majority of the free
holders who are legal voters, residing in
each district to be affected thereby" 1t
has uniformly been held by this officer
that it requires the petition of majority
of the voters who are resident free hold
ers of the territory embraced in each dis
trict to be affected by the contemplated
change, to give the county commissioners
jurisdiction to act in such matters. The
territory to be formed into the new dis
trict is affected as much, and some times
more than the balance of the old district
from which the new one is to be carved; a
majority of each must concur in the re.
quest in order to confer jurisdiction upon
the county commissioners to act in the
premises.

large cases or recesses partitioned off with
glass, so while they are safe from further
| mutilatiOn they can easily be seen. 1t was
with peculiar interest that looked them
over one by one, for nearly every one brought
to me familiar faces and incidents of those
four stormy years of war. l had seen many
of those very colors borne down the streets
of Boston, floating proudly over the full
ranks of regiments a thousand strong, had
seen those same colors in the hands of their
defenders on southern soil, and then saw them
borne tenderly and proudly by the survivors
in the grand review ut Washington. Under
those colors had died nearly half of all my
early friends and associates. The memory of
the past became too oppressive and put on

The following inscription from the speech
of Governor Andrews, on receiving the colors

rotuntla Of the capitol building in Boston, and
will interest the Grand Army men:

"The Ever-Faithful ISLE"

HAVANA, Sept. About five thousand per-

merchants of Havana, offered S., 600, 900 toward

adopted urging traders to suspend relations with
Germany while negotiations are pending A
procession was then formed, and marched
to the palace, and the president and directors
of eeHCasjno, called on the Captain general
and informed him of the action of the meeting.
The Captain-general thanked them and said if
war broke out, the Germans would not 90 to
Spain, but might come to Cuba. in which event
he was prepared to defend the island from

Consul Mason's Report,

WASHINGTON, Sept. Consul Mason, at
Marseilles, has sent to the State Department a
further report, dated Aug. q, on the cholera
epidemic. He says: Accepting these statistics
as now published, they are undoubtedly quite
below the truth. The deaths from Asiatic chol-
era in Marseilles since Aug. 20, inclusive. have
numbered by days as follows: Ga. SO, 46, 45, 45
80, e. Total deaths from all causes during the
same days: 102, 118, go, rs, 8S, 70, g.
This, considering that the normal
death rate of Marseies is less than
thirty per day, is frghtful record and shows
that typhus and typhoid fevers are ravaging this
reeking city with vehemence scarcely less
deadly than cholera itself"
Mr.. Mason says that the departures from the
city number about 1000 per day, bat that there
has been no panic like that of 1884, the public
mind having been gradually prepared for the
developments which for time were suppressed
by the city government and the press With the
exception of perhaps four or five comparatively
new and handsome streets, the pestilence has
this year invaded every part of the municipality
and its suburbs The cholera has diminished
notably in some streets. and in quarters where it
first appeared there is small but perceptbly
decreasing number of deaths and more recov-
cries. The newest popularity of the cholera
both at Marseiles and at Toulon Mr. Mason
says is tendency to complication at an early
stage with typhoid fever, combination from
which few patients are ever rescued.

In Congress, together with the business men OF

BY the withdrawal from other pursuits of the

of trade would be relieved, and tens of thousands
of men now walking the streets in idleness or
working for starvation wages would find ready
employment at healthy pay. The $3.50, 600, 900
thus saved to the people every year would be
available for internal Improvements among the
people, increasing manufactures and developing
general resources. Men who have studied the
problem of the government aiding our own ship

exporters the advantage instead of keeping
them at disadvantage, as now, say it only re-
quires a little wideeyed craftsmanship and the
expenditure of some money to make it a
success. One thing is certain: American
products can never find as good markets and
prices as English, German and French, until
they are transported on American vessels.

Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Sept Tt has been the
vaunted boast and promise Of the Democratic
party for many years that when it got into
power there would be no red-tape business with
it, and everybody would be received in the good,
old-fashioned, homespun way The course of
the party since the 4th of March last has been
very different, however. Such manifolding of
red-tape ways was never dreamed of under an
American government.
These dispatches have, from time to time,
told of the way visitors are received al some of
the departments. and especially the Postoffce
Department, and predicted that, ere long, there
would be protest made against it by the more
sensible element of the party. I have just
learned that one prominent man in the party
entered his protest several weeks ago, and in a
way to be keeply felt and appreciated. 1t

the messengers and rail like madmen. One
day Senator Voorhees, came here to see
the Postmaster-general. The messengers
had been instructed to inform callers that the
Postmaster-general would see no one. It appears
that the Senator was in a hurry or had an en-
gagement with Mr.. Villas, and when told that he
could not be admitted he became very angry.
He caught the messenger by the throat or coat
collar and threw him across the room. Then he
walked in. He said he was tired of this fun
merry, and he proposed to go in whenever he
wanted to, and no red-tape could keep him out,
nor messenger, either"
What was done about the assault on the
messengerg" asked.
''The Postmaster general sent for the messen-
ger, and no one will tell what was said The
affair was dropped But you may be sure that
Senator Voorhees, isn't stood off any more when
he wants to see the Postmaster-general'
This is not the only instance, am told, where
violence has been resorted to before prominent
men could see the Postmaster general. 1t is
never so difficult to see the President as Mr..
Villas The latter has set up a dominion of his
own that borders on Imperialism. He gets be-
hind three doors and as many messengers, and
only the dukes of the party are admitted to him.
And yet he is public servant. paid out of the
peoples treasury.
