it. The result Of his work reads in
the minutes: Act for the erection
of State Prison etc. Indefinitely

the University from Eiko to Carson
he gained FIVE votes to keep the
State Prison here, and it was a

A STATE DISGRACE.

Yesterday McAfee of Esmeralda
introduced a Joint Memorial and
Resolution memorializing Con-
gress to abolish the Walker Lake
Indian Reservation. The memoir
ial sets forth what is known to
nearly everybody in the State,
that the Reservation prevents the
occupancy and settlement Of a
large tract of valuable land which
is now simply a vast cattle range.
The Indians do not live upon the
Reservation, or at least only a
small per cent of them do, but pre-
fer to loaf about the mining camps
and settlements. living by thieving
and beggary. The Memorial states
that the Indian Agent draws ra-
tons for all the Indians although
he does not see them for months at
a time. It is the best land in the
State, but no settlers can take it up
until Congress abolishes the Res
ervation. The Indians do not
care a snap for the land, as they
much prefer the settlements. One
would imagine that there would be
no opposition to such measure,
but there is, and it comes from
wealthy cattle who have
free range for their cattle with no
danger of its ever being taken up
The Indians are in cahoots with
certain cattle-men and kill any
stock they find there that does not
have a certain brand upon it. The
whole thing is a State disgrace
and the Memorial ought to pass
unanimously.

GOOD ADvERTKZING WORK

The advertising agents are doing
better every year. Here is the
latest way to plaster photograph
er's name all over the Continent,
for So, in an Associated Press dis
dispatch.
Yesterday John Wood, a West
side photographer had his appara-
tus arranged for instantaneous neg
atives. Mrs. W. D Curtis went
there to be photographed, and took
a position with her hand-satchel,
containing $40, in her lap. While
the photographer was in the dark
ness, of the camera he heard a
noise and pulled the trigger taking
an instantaneous photograph
There was terrible rumpus going
on the room and when he got out
of the curtain a man was rushing
out OF the DOOR and Mrs. Curtis was
screaming. Her hand-satchel was
gone. Mrs. Curtis said the man
had rushed in and snatched her
satchel. When the photographer
looked at the plate in the camera
he was astonished to find that he
had a double photograph, Portions
of Mrs. Curtis showed up through
a maze Of outstretched hands, fur
hat and brown overcoat. He had
photographed the thief in action.
The police, with this clue, arrested.
William Burns, and part Of Mrs.
Curtis money was found on him.

But struck one chord of music

And it lay on my fevered spirit
With touch OF infinite calm.

From our discordant life.

ARIncix Hill, .soufe.

S. III. Harrington of MedOra, Oak, was
at the Northern Pacific office in st. Paul
yesterday, and said that scheme was on
foot to organize new stage company 10

Black Hills. 1t will be remembered that
about year ago the Marquis de MOreS
a stage line between the above
named points, but, on account of
it not paying operating expenses,
the line was abandoned about
two months ago. Since that time stages
have run at irregular intervals, or only
when there was a sufficient number of pas
SengerS either way TO pay the expenses of
the trip. This has become very offensive
To parties going out on the Northern Pacific
bound to the Black Hills, as they are COM
PEELED to await the arrival of number
more bound for the same place or foot it.
The company now being organized. Mr..
harrington says, expects to be ready to
about Sept. ID or Oct. L. when
the fall trade commences. 1t is claimed
that the nearneSS of the line of the Chicago
~ Northwestern to DeadwOod kills the
stage business from MedOra-
The scheme of building a railroad from
MedOra has often been talked of, but no
one has yet been bold enough to attempt
the enterprise. There would be less diff
Guilty in building a line of railroad from
MedOra to Black Hills points than many
anticipate. Several surveys have been
made, and engineers who are thor
OughlY acquainted with the geography
of the country the line would
pass through, have made estimates of the
cost of building such line, and their
figures have ranged FROM So. 900 to SIS, 600
per mile, which would be comparatively
light. After the completion of a line,
though, it is very improbable that there
would be the traffic TO pay for the main
tenance of the line. On account of the
meagre transportation facilities the lines i'll
the Black Hills are only in an incipient
stage of development, and would require
the expenditure of a gOOdly amount of cap
ital to bring them into a condition where
they would furnish such railway with
traffic enough to pay for its operation.

There appears to have been good fOunda-
ton for the publication of the rumOr in
yesterday mornings GLOBE that the Balti
more 81 Ohio would reduce its emigrant
rates from the seabOard to Chicago to STA
several steamship agents in the city claim
to have been notified of the coming change
and expect the official notice comforting
authority to them to book prepaid business
at that figure. This action is taken on
accO, n of an attempt on the part of the
Vanderbilt lines and the Pennsylvania
roads to shut the Baltimore Il Ohio out of
New York. Since the alliance of a week
ago was formed between tine New York
Central and the Pennsylvania, they have
come TO an understanding to form an al
lance offensive and defensive against the
Baltimore IL Ohio, and shut it out from OBJ
tanning any more passenger traffic than can
possibly be helped. Dispatches received
state that the Pennsylvania intends within
day or two to issue an order restoring
emigrant rates from New York to Chicago
to Sl3. The Pennsylvania early last spring
reduced its emigrant rate to 81
from New York to Chicago and
st. Louis, and, rs the other roads
at less than SIS, the Pennsylvania has been
this year. Ii it has decided now to advance
the rate, it is probably because it has made
enough contracts at the 81 rate TO keep it
busy to the end of the season.
When it made its reduction it had agents
in Europe booking at that rate, and in
short time had contracted for over 100, 900.
As far as can be learned, nearly all the EN-
igrant business to come over this year has
already been contracted for. based upon the
Il rate by the Pennsylvania. The action
OF the Pennsylvania, therefore, will help
the other trunk lines but little for the rest
of the season.
When the Pennsylvania reduced its emil
grant rate TO 81 from New York to Chicago
and st. Louis. it was for the reason that
the New York Central and Erie refused TO
give it the share Of the Castle Garden bus
mess it wanted. 1t has not been learned
yet whether new contract has been made
between the New York trunk lines for q
new division of the emigrant business, but
the indications are that some such
arrangement has been or is about to be per-
fected. The Baltimore 81 Ohio will have
To do all its business ut the 81 rate from
Baltimore, and this might tend to divert u
good deal of the shipping business from
New York to that port. The Baltimore "

means to carry war into the territory of
the New York Central and Pennsylvania
roads, and if it continues this rate until
after the latter has carried all the business
it has contracted for at the 81 rate, fun may
be expected.

THE MINNESOTA EDITORS.

The meeting of the Minnesota Editorial
association in this city yesterday was
largely attended, and in all respects one of
the-most interesting sessions held by this
body since its organization in 1867. The
papers read before the society were all of
them of special interest to members of the
journalistic profession, and full of practical
and valuable suggestions. There was a
wonderful similarity of views as to what
IS essential to elevate journalism to its
proper plane. 1T is a gratifying fact that
there was universal expression in favor of
pure journalism and disposition to dis
courage sensationalism. A few years
ago a few newspapers In the coun-
try, whose names could be readily
recalled, sprang into prominence and
grew prosperous because of their sensational
features and an utter disregard for the pro-
prieties of decency, as well as want of re-
gard for the feelings or sensibilities of indi-
viduals. At the time that such journalism
became popular the great civil war had Just
ended and its demoraliZing influences were
being felt all over the country. The sue
cessful career of few journals which
adopted this disreputable style of journal
ism encouraged smaller papers to adopt the
same methods in the conduct of their man-
agement, and as result the country was

S EDUCATIONAL METHODS.

Among other topics profitable for discus
sion among educators would be the
question: ''Have we not too much sys-
TEN in our public schools?" The main
difficulty that the teacher finds in his or her
work is that the laws leave no standing
room for the teacher. Instead of allowing
latitude to the teacher in adopting methods
applicable to the various intellectual powers
and capacities of the pupils like a grist
taken to the mill, the whole school is
thrown into machine and the teacher
turns the crank. There is no incentive
left to the teacher to study and develop and
increase the efficiency of his profession.
The endless system and methods of edu-
eating the young are not only failures so
far as the pupil is concerned, but
they repress the growth and progress
Of teaching and make a machine
of the teacher. Onr educational system
has to take the back track. 1t is deterior-
ating from what it was fifty years ago. 1t
is true that schools are multiplying, as they
should, but the results are not what they
ought TO be. 1t is doubtful whether the OBJ
jects for which schools are supported are
better obtained than they were fifty years
ago. The trouble is that we have too much
method and not enough mental discipline.
We have too many school boOks-and too
many Of what we have are of no account.
And yet the teacher is left no discretion i'm
the selection of them. What the law omits
in the way of system and method is sup
piled by school trustee and superintendent
until the teacher is crowded out of sight or
left no place on which to stand. Look at
the results for argument. In the old field
school of half century ago the boy mas
tered arithmetic in two winters. Now it
fills every course of the graded school for
four or five terms. There are plenty
of people now living who remember that
when pupil took Latin he commenced
with ANDREWS and SToDDARD's gram
mar, which was thoroughly learned by heart
in eight or ten months, and then went into
CESAR or VIRGIL. Now there are so
many series for beginners it takes anywhere
from three to five years to wade through
them and get to CESAR. Boys and girls at
fifteen years of age are not as well fitted for
life as they were fifty years ago. There is
something wrong somewhere in our school
system. We believe it to be in an overdose
of system. With less method we would
have better teachers, and with better
teachers we would have more progressive
pupils. Frequent recurrence to first prin-
ciples is essential to the maintenance of a
good educational system.

That fishing with the fly is not i'm greater
favor as an amusement for women is a
matter for regret. When the use of a hook
is practicable there is TO earthly reason
why they should not derive the same men
tai, moral and physical benefit from it as
men. Ii is a gentle pursuit. and a cleanly
one. and affords an ample field for the eXer-
else of that manual delicacy and skill for
which women are pre-eminent; while ut the
same time. unlike almost every other Out-Of-
door sport. no greater muscular effort is re-
quired, nor over fatigue incurred.
Whether women really have their fair
share of the amuSemeuts of life maxwell
be questioned; while it is beyond dispute
that the directions in which custom now
permits to seek recreation are not, TO say
the least. to their physical advantage.
1t is a mistake ON their part if they sup
pose that men think them in the way at
such timeS-always provided they are Tea-
sOnable. Some there are as full OF whims
as an egg is full of meat, whose sole aim
and object seem to be TO keep half dozen
men skipping about on frivolous errands.

Men hope for something from women be-
yond seeing to the boiling of the potatoes
and maintaining discipline among children,
and that is companionship; and she who is
companiOnable may feel confident that she
has valid mortgage on the admiration OF
