Two Requisites.

ough work in any sphere of life, fl IS necessary fof certain conven- iencies to be provided. Itis econ omy of both time and money to be well prepared for our work. This fact is appreciated and regarded in all lines of business, and in all pro- fcssions unless it be in the para. mount profession of tcacaing, and in the affairs of the school room. The duties of teacher and his surroundings are quite different from those of men in any other business, because the whole body polite are interested in the school room. It thus becomes a concern of every man, and no mnn is doing his full duty unless he assumes n degree of interest in the teachers $ work. You cannot place teaching upon basis with other professions. because the teacher's work is not circumscribed by personal inter ests.
 The work is only limited by the capacities and possible outcome of the children of the whole commun. fly, and the liberality toward the necessary expenditures should be as extensive as the heart cords of parents which bind them to their children.
 But we began tlfs article to say to the good people of Prescott that yonr High School buildin. should have good fence around il aud good ,ceH should be near the building.
 The building is not protected et now as it shoull be, and the grounds, which could be made ''s thing of beauty and Il joy forever, are loosing all their attrac.ivcness
 the grounds were enclosed the children could be better care, for in their play, and tcacher could look more carefully aftel their interests, could have mor, direct supervision over the Ian gnagc and conduct of pupils whil at play. The grounds would b, defined and teachers would feel d ease with pupilS.
 Sending to the town we'll fo water for 3O0 pupils is no smal item, and much time is nCccssarl lost.
 The School Board propose {, continue the school this year cigh or nine months, and they clnno spare the money to provide tn fence and well. They hay been compelled to add an other room to the colorcd schoo building aud will have to emplo. another teacher for that school, s this will cut the funds short.
 Now, in view of the fac; that 70 will have q good free school dul ing the year, we have decided, i view of these necessities, to as patrons and friends generally { , contribute $200. It will requ;r , this much to do the work wei This money will remaiu in you town and will aid in peautiiying il ! The school house and educaiionI facilities are an index to the retin, ment and culture ofany people.
 Let every one give sometlin w',cn called upon, and the s200 ca be raised readily. The funds wil be paid L. ihc treasurer of tn Board, and arrangements made fo the work at once,
 Beaa'ify the school grounds an; houses and the children will Iov school life. The surroundings c the school room should be emble maiical of what we would have tn children to be, mentally and spir itually. Bca@iVy!

WL" do we hear so much about

 many people talking about their cure from this dreadful disease? Simply because they have been taking Browns Iron liitters. Thus it is with Mrs. Taylor of Lynch. burg, Sumter O.. who says, "I have used Browns Iron Bitters for dyspepsia with most favorable results. believe this medicine is all that is represcuted.' Dyspep- ties. and sufferers from neuralgia, weakness, etc, should try it.

WASHINGTON. D. G., NOV. 16, 1885
DISTRICT DAYS IN THE HOUSE.

1t is Of the utmost importance to the
people of Washington, and to the in.
terests of the District of Columbia, that
the former rule of the House of Repre-.
sentOtives, assigning one day in each
month for the consideration Of District
legislation, should be revived. The
necessity for such rule is so apparent,
and the demand for It so just and pro.
per, that we feel certain that with
prompt and united action on the part
of our citizens, their request will be
granted.
In the absence of any Citizens or.
ganization, not even Board of Trade,
to reflect the needs or wishes of our
community, it devolves upon every
citizen to constitute himself a com
mittee Of one, and present to members
of Congress as they arrive in the city
for the approaching session, this rca.
sonable request which is of such i'm
portance TO the progressive welfare Of
our beautiful city,
The lack Of much needed legislation
for the District in the past four or five
years was owing to the almost certain
failure of every attempt to get District
of Columbia matters before the House.
Previous to that time, when the rules
Of the House assigned certain days for
the consideration of District business,
our community interests had somewhat
of n fair show, but since the rule was
abolished the District affairs have been
neglected in Congress - have been
'marooned," 50 to speak.
There are now domicilcd within the
District of Columbia nearly a quarter
of q million of free American taX-pay-
ing citizens whose municipal rights and
privileges are solely dependent upon
the legislation of Congress. All their
prayers for relief from unjust enact
ments and all requests for new laws
more in accordance with their al
vanced prosperity and development
are made to Congress, which exercises
exclusive legislation in all cases what
soover over the affairs of the District.
1t is but fair and just for the House to
grant the District one day in each
month for the consideration of its leg.
islative requirements, and we feel con-
fident it will Ieadopt its former rule If
our citizens will but exhibit united aud
active interest in the matter.

BUSINESS AND REFORM.

Had it not been for the Civil. Service
law" says correspondent who is
Republican in politics, "the Demo.
cratic party would by this time have
been in full possession of the Govern
ment and the business of the country
on a settled basis.
We do not know that we can fully
subscribe to this statement of the case.
but so far as business in Washington is
concerned, there is no sort of question
but what the uncertainty and suspense
and general feeling of insecurity, occa-
stoned throughout the various depart
ments by reason Of the pending statu-
tory reform in the public service, have
been a great drawback to local trade.
AS to its effects elsewhere, they may
not have been appreciably injurious ;
but we cannot help thinking that the
law is to some extent an unenvable
burden for the Administration to be
shouldered with 1t involves responsi-
bilities which no administration, how
ever strong and honest or whatever its
politics, could carry with any great de-
gree of comfort, satisfaction or success,
simply for the reason that it is inhe.
rently defective in principle and thor
oughly repugnant to the theory of self
government by popular majorities.
A civil.service commission, such rs
now exists, has no more business to be
than would commission have to de-
fine and regulate the eligibility Of
voters at Presidential election, or to
examine into the qualifications of Pres
idential candidates, or to prescribe
competitive examinations for the chair
manships of the several committees Of
Congress.
This may seem to be very plain,
blunt way of putting the question, ami
will no doubt CRATE hOrshly upon the
feelings of the truly orthodox but the
better way of stating disagrecable
truth is always the palmer way.
We might make the further disagree.
able remark that it is quite as imprac-
ticable TO effect permanent and radical
reforms in the Civil Service by arbitrary
regulations as 1t would be to recon
struct a mans character or inject a
soul into corporation or authorize q
millennium by act Of Congress.
In this matter each department
should be supreme, The only compe-
tition should be us to which depart
ment-which Of the great business
branches of the Goyernment--shoull
secure the best service by It's own lnli.
vidual sagacity and circumspection,
Returning from our depression, We
have only to repeat what we said at the
outset in answer to our correspondent
that the Civil Service Law is responsi
bic in greater or less measure for tho
depression of trade during the pas
season in this District, and 20 add tha
while the business of the country a
large may have experienced no percep
tible harm from the same cause, an un
wise, crude and injudicious law il
never a benefit to any people A re
form which is set about in the wrong
way seldom becomes an accomplished
fact.
