THE STRIKE.

The strike on the Pacific system
still continues and the probabili-
ties are that it will be sometime
before trains are running regular
ly. About $4,000 men are in the
strike, and they are not out, be-
cause, as Mr.. Gould says, one man
was discharged, but because the
agreement, made between the
managers of the Gould system and
the employ is in March 1885, was
rejected by the receivers of the
Texas Pacific, a part of the Gould
system. The Knights of Labor
claim that this is only trick of Mr..
Gould to place the United States
courts between himself and en-
ployees, and that if the trick is
successful, the entire Gould sys-
tenn will be put in the hands of re-
ceivers. The management and
the strikers are both very deter
mined and if the strike is not de-
clared off very soon incalcuable
damages to business interests must
ensue.

In another column will be found

In another column will be found
a correspondence correcting our
statement of last week in regard to
town board issuing bonds and i'm
proving streets after a town has
been organized as city of the 4th
class. We republish the statement
with the criticism as requested.
Below we give the law upon which
we based our remarks last week.
Sec. 1929, Revised Statutes reads
as follows:
THE mayor and board of aldermen shall
have power, by ordinance, to levey and col
lect such taxes upon real estate and personal
property within the city as shall be necessary
for the purposes of the corporation, and for
the payment of the existing debt of the city;
TO issue bonds, payable i'll one year, 10
amount not exceeding half the current reve-
nue. for the fiscal year: and also to issue bonds
in renewal of other bonds of the city matur-
ing for the requisite amount, and which the
city has no funds TO pay.
Whether the above statute con-
hicts with the constitution, as
quoted by the correspondent,
would require the opinion of the
Attorney General. The law relat-
ing to the assessments for the i'm
orovement of streets is not touch
ed upon in the criticism, and we
consider this one of the important
things to be considered in the
change, to a city of the 4th class.
Next week we Will give the law
providing for these improvements.
Weekly graphic. [volume] (Kirksville, Adair Co., Missouri) 1880-1949, 1886-03-19

Without a vote of the people,
the town council may issue bonds
to half the amount of current rev.
enue, payable in one year. At the
end of the year they may again
issue bonds to half the amount of
the current revenue, also bonds to
pay past Indebtedness, accrued in
terest on bonds etc. Thus it will be
seen that the debt of the town,
without any vote of the people,
might be increased from year to
year tn the entire property would
not pay the debt. Again the town
may order that certain streets may
be improved to the extent of the
value of the property on each side
of the street, and if owner does not
pay the taxes assessed for this
improvement the property can be
sold to defray the expenses. These
are some of the things that must
be considered by the people, when
voting to become city of the 4th
class.
EDITOR GRAPHIC:-I saw the
above statement published in
the GRAPHIC of the 18th which
will be found to be incorrect by
comparing it with the constitution
and the law.
Art. X, Sec. II of the constitu-
ton reads as follows: "No county,
city, town, township, school dis
tric, or political corporation or
subdivision of the state, shall be
allowed to become indebted in any
manner or for any purpose in an
amount exceeding in any year the
income and revenue provided for
such year, without the assent of
two thirds of the voter thereof vot-
ing at an election to be held for
that purpose; nor in case requir-
ing such assent shall any indebt-
ness be allowed to be incurred to
an amount including existing in
debtedness in the aggregate ex-
ceeding five per centum on the
value of taxable property therein
to be ascertained by the assess
ment next before the last assess
ment for state and county purpos-
es, previous to the incurring of
such indebtedness. This restric-
ton extends to cities of every class
whether under a general law or to
a special charter as Kirksville now
has.
Sec. IL also provides that cities
having less than 5000 and more
than 900 inhabitants, the rate of
levy shall not exceed so cents on
the 500 valuation; the last clause
of this section provides that this
rate shall apply to taxes of every
kind and description, whether gem
eral or special, except taxes to pay
valid Indebtedness now existing or
bonds which may be issued in re-
newal of such Indebtedness. The
town of Kirksville owes no bonds,
nor does she owe one cent except

SECTION 1917.
Qualifications Necessary for a
Certificate.

No persons shall be granted a
certificate to teach in any of the
public schools established under
the provisions of this chapter who
is not of good moral character and
qualified to teach photography,
reading penmanship, arithmetic,
English grammar, modern geogra-
ply, history of the United States
and civil government, provided
that if any patron of any public
school in this State demands, in
writing, that instruction in physi-
ology and hygiene with special
reference to the effect of alcoholic
drinks and stimulants and
narcotics generally upon the hui
man system, shall be given in the
public school of which such per-
son is patron: then it shall be
unlawful for the board of educa-
ton of such school district, to ex-
clude such instruction from such
public schools.
But such instruction shall only
be given to the child OF children of
such patron or patrons demanding
the teaching of the same; and pro-
vided further, that after the first
day of September, A, d. 1886, no
certificate shall be granted to any
person to teach in the public
schools of this State and no
teacher shall be authorized to
teach therein who shall not have
passed satisfactory examination
in physiology and hygiene with
special reference to the effects of
alcoholic drinks, stimulants and
narcotics generally upon the hui
man system.-Laws 1885,
Teachers should give heed to
the above and prepare themselves
for the examination which the law
requires them to pass before they
will be allowed to teach in the
schools of the state. Special class
es will be formed in the Normal
on April 14th, for instruction in
Physiology and Hygiene with
special reference to the effects of
alchoholic stimulants and narcot-
les on the human system. These
classes will cover the entire
ground and will be continued from
five to ten weeks. Teachers of the
county should without fail avail
themselves of this opportunity to
inform themselves ON this subject,
and those passing the examina-
ton will have their grade certified
to the county commissioner who
will grant certificates ON these
branches without further examin-
alton. Entire expense of board
tuition, lights etc, for ten weeks
from S25 to S35, according to
whether board is secured in club
or private family. One half of the
above amount for five weeks. Glass.

and when the same should become due and

sence from the state of Missouri, disability or
refusal from any cause to act, then the then

H. n. Webb, editor of the
Unionville Republican died last
Thursday morning.
The educational and agri-
cultural advantages of our county
make it one of the most desirable
locations, that can be found in the
west.
1t is estimated that $4,000
men employed in mines, factories
and on railroads, are on a strike.
The loss in wages and business is
running rapidly into the millions.
The Adventists have made
their annual prediction in regar d
to the wind up of all things terres-
trial. They have fixed upon May
14th, 1856, and those wanting a
first class send off should see to it
that their accounts are all right
with the newspaper man.
No sensible man, except he
be broken down politician or a
budding one, for whom there is no
room in the old parties, believes
the temperance question a politi-
cal one. Politicians have only
injured the temperance cause by
trying to drag it into politics,
where it does not belong. Men of
both parties will vote for prohibi-
ton if they are given an opportu-
nifty. Give them this opportunity.
Submission will settle the ques.
ton.
Public opinion is powerful
lever and when the people are In.
formed as to what is going on
their indignation is usually suffi
cient to check any proceeding thai
would ultimately lead to the
injury of either town, county, o.
state. This makes it necessary
that the people should be full!
informed upon every proceeding
that they may act with judgemen
and discretion. The indignation
of the taxpayers over the pros
pect of having the costs to pay il
the whisky cases, put the power
that be on the alert to devise som
means whereby this cost could b
saved to the county. The resul
is that England and Gibson hav
compromised by paying the cost
ofprosecuting attorney and sheriff
thus relieving the taxpayers O
what promised to be a grievou
burden. This of itself is suficien
to make us happy.
