Can the school board legally hire a
teacher prior to the annual meeting?
Il. Strictly speaking, the board has DO
such power. There are many contingen-
cies in the way of this action; as, for i n
stance, the power of the meeting to de-
eide whether the school shall be taught
by male or female, and whether the
board, or majority of them, are contin-
ued in Office.
Must teacher who has passed the
examination, and obtained a second
grade certificate this year, be examined
again next spring to pass in physiology
and hygiene? 4. To comply with the
law, such teacher must pass in the sub
ject named at the January examination.
The above questions and answers are
taken from the June number of the
School Journal.

Local Government in Kansas" is a
little volume of a hundred and twelve
pages, by Prof j. II. Garfield. Its pur-
pose is to advance good citizenship in
this imperial commonwealth. 1t begins
with the school district organization, Of
fcers and methods. Then comes the
township, treated in the same way. Then
the county, cities, the State, the Legis-
lsture, courts, taxation, higher education,
penal and benevolent institutions, land
surveys and such affairs as are closely
connected with the State. To these is
aided the State Constitution.

The situation as to the politica de-
bate called FOR by Foraker should not be
misrepresented Neither the democratic
nor the republican party will make any
thing by muddling the facts. Foraker
challenged Hoadly for the debate, the two
to divide the time equally. The demo
cratic committee accepted the challenge
conditionally-on the condition, namely,
that Leonard should be called in to par,
ticipate in the discussion. The republi-
can committee replied that the challenge
was to Hoadly alone, but that, if the dem
cratic committee insisted on having Leon
ard assist, they might invite him, and that
Foraker would meet them both, qrovided
that Hoadly would share his time with
Leonard. The democratic committee re-
Joined that they would not have the de-
bate unless the time should be equally di.
vided among the three-that is unless
Hoadly and Leonard could have twothirds
OF the time against one-third for Foraker.
To this the republican committee respond
ed that they would not agree
Mr.. Foraker would debate with Mr..
Hoadly time and time equal. This propo.
siton was refused
Then Mr.. Foraker would debate with
Mr. Hoadly, and the latter might call in a
third man and share his own time with
him. This also was refused
he gist o! the whole matter is that Mr.
Hoadiy refused to debate alone and on
equal terms with Mr Foraker
But this put the democratic committee
into a predicament and Gov. Hoadly into
a worriment and so the committee have
reconsidered, and announced that Hoadly
shall meet Foraker on the terms first pro
posed, without any third man to assist

The Enquirer thinks it has the high
cackle on Foraker for calling Springfield
the typical city in his speech to our
Plug Hats in Cincinnati. 1t seems to
maintain that city which shuts up its
saloons at ten o'clock at night is no great
shakes as a typical city 1t jeers at this
fact as a slur on our town. 1t seems, ac-
cording to the Enquirer's standard, that a
place is ridiculous for setting up as u
typical city unless the boys have free
swing to paint er red from sunset to sun
rise. Any abridgement OF such freedom
would be "sumptuary legislation from the
Enquirers standpoint. But how about
Cincinnati? 1t ostensiby closes its sa-
looms at twelve o'clock, midnight Allow
ing for ference of latitude, what would
be the average of difference in principle
Anyhow, must place be tipple-kill city

The cholera is now past-due. 1t is not
likely that it will obtain lodgment on
this side Of the Atlantic the present year.
The confinement of it TO the Mediterranean
region of Europe for two successive sea.
SONS epidemic and malignant as it has
been there, is a hopeful indication that
civilization is in the way Of mastering its
movements, at least-that is, those world
circling movements by which it has former
ly been characterized.
Starting from Hindostan, which is its
birthplace and breeding-spot, it has hth-
erto, when it struck Europe, gone over the
western world with more speed and spread
than it has this time. This must be due
to the modern improved methods Of de-
Tending againstits imm grations from coun-
try to country. 1t is better quarantined
against. Those articles OF commerce
which are apt to carry its contagion are
subjected to more careful scrutiny and
mor- thorough disinfection. We are learn
lag that the way to cure epidemic cholera
is to keep from taking it. 1t must be sur.
ounded mercilessl y and trampled where
it is
For it is now well established to be
catching disease. Just how it communi-
Gates its poison is not absolutely known
But that it does distribute itself by con
taminating the air we breathe, the water we
drink, or the food we eat, or all three to-
gether, is evident from the way it travels
1t comes along with the pilgrim cara
vans from Juggernaut and Hurdwar 1t
is calculated that 1000 900 Of these pious
Asiatic heathens make the pilgrimage to
Hurdwar every twelve years. The cholera,
as consequence, visits the world as an
epidemic every twelve years. These
fanatic fools return from their holy shrines
of faith and filth, by the million every
twelve years, and, dying in the cities,
towns, and villages on their routes,
dying at the inns, dying by the
rosdsides, dying everywhere, scatter the
seeds OF the holy pestilence through all
the thoroughfares of commerce and travel
and to all the four winds OF heaven.
Travel, commerce, and the winds catch
up these seeds of death and SOW them
through the world. The plague follows
the great highways of intercourse between
communities and nations. 1t goes by the
roads, and not commonly along the by
paths. Travellers carry 1t in their persons
or in their clothes from place to place.

CURES FOR Piles,

Piles are frequently preceded by sense OF
weight in the back, loins and lower part OF
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some effecton OF the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times, symptoms OF
indigestion are present, hstulency, uness ness
OF the stomach etc. A moisture, like per-
spiration, producing a very disagreeable Itch
ing, after getting warm, is a common at
tendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles
yield at once TO the application OF DR..
Bossnko's Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, sllaying the intense itching, and
effscting q permanent cure. Price 80 cents.

The difference between the two distin-
guishcd generals who ftintot the war from
the easements OF Cincinnati newspapers is
that the one was so bloody loyal that he
stopped over in some iudiscretions of
youthful ardor and the other was as rebel
as so young a man knew how to be in u
Northern city. There is distinctions and
the people will make it while the two gen
tlemen, now adult, are engaged in shaking
the red rags of their mutual ancient his
tory in each Others faces.

some 10000 people paraded the streets for
hours, chanting and praying for help
against the restileuce. Also bowling
mob attacked one OF the health-offices es-

completely wrecked the building, Yet, in
spite OF both measures, there are about
4 900 cases in the city, and the deaths
from the disease have run up to some fifty
per day.
