A MISTAKE WE ExPEcr.--A preacher
writing from Alluwe says: Last Fri
day while at Coodys Blun, witnessed
the arrival of a mail carrier with pony
jaded from the long journey Of forty
miles from Chetopa without an inter
vening postofFice. On opening the
mail bag II was found TO be absolutely
empty, nor was there thing TO be put
in TO send back. Was this a joke on
the mail carrier, or on the government
postofiice department. There is dai-
ly mail at each end, so why the route7"
As we recollect 1t there are three post
Offices on this route between the points
named and heretofore the people liv-
ing through that section have been
compelled to go long distances for their
mail. The idea Of congress in provid-
ing for the star mail service is that a
few people living through the country
have as much right to a reasonable
service as have the large towns to
mails every five or six hours brought
to their doors.

the educational advantages Of this place,
and it seems to us that not only should
there be now hearty acceptance Of his
offers, but that next year, instead of
sending their children away, parents
should patronize the home school, which,
by its occupancy of the field at time
when needed, should be considered to
haze pre-empted the ground, at least
until such time as the country around
can support more than one private
school.
By the way, we think DR.. Morse ought
to have made this offer to those below
the high school, and thus have cast the
burden of the next two months school
ing for this class, entirely upon the trust
ees. But we are not making the offer.
Additional taxation, no matter for
what purpose, will not at this time re-
ceive the endorsement of the people of
this county. With the salary law, the
heavy city tax-which is made enor-
mously high by the road tax, our peo-
pie are well-nigh taxed to the limit.

pride in the Bozeman schools, but

A GOOD MOVE.

At the last meeting of the County
Commissioners it was decided by that
body to re-bond the county Indebtedness
about 100000. This move was deem
ed necessary in order to save the county
officers, who, under the salary law draw
their salary from the contingent fund,
which from lack of legislative action
would have been entirely inadequate fer
that purpose. Then again, this move
is calculated to save the county from
dAree to FIVE thousand dollars in inter-
est, which is now seven per cent. and
should not be over five, if chat much.
The street brokers and banks will be
losers by this measure but those who
deal with the county will secure almost
par value for their warrants. We are of
the opinion that the county commission
ers have acted wisely and well in this
matter,

SCHOOL MATTERS.

In calling attention to the generous
and timely of1er of DR.. Morse to the pu-
pills of our schools. we viii snake few
remarks before we begin"
We have not been in favor Of the
special school tax. Our e. c. has done
such good service in the editorial OF
March 18th, that we thought our col
umns could be devoted to other matters.
However, that editorial neglected one
important question; Why do not the
school trustees require Prof. McComb to
teach his department through the regular
school year of nine or ten months? He
10 paid for the year and not for the
nonth--so why need his classes be dis
missed because there is no money to pay
the other teachers? The high school is
the department which, of all others.
ought not to be closed early. Many of
the students in that department are un.
able TO come back for another term,
some count on teachers examination,
and two months of school work would
so long way toward making the certifi-
Gates sure. In the name of common
sense, when teaching is paid for, why
can't we have it. If Prof McComb is
paid 81 $50 for the year, why do not the
trustees make him teach his department
a full school year. The objection that
some dissatisfied ones may offer, that
the more he teaches, the worse off the
students are, has no weight. The trust
ees are the stewards of the people, and
should be made to show "value received"
for the expenditure Of that 81 $50, or else
. ten months attempt to get it. The
sentiment OF the people is against the
special school tax, and rightly.
And now we would call the attention
our readers TO the letter Of Or. Morse.
We have not been engaged as 3 canvas
ser for the school, but we do say that,
should the school tax be voted down,
parents ought to seize this chance for
their children. DR.. Morse informs us
that he will not object to the examin-
alton of each department being conduct
ID by one Of the teachers in that depart
nent, as the comparative grading would |
very likely be the same. He also tells |
