The Governor Removes ID. q. Cameron.
the County Superintendent of Schools
of Houston County, for Alleged Drunk
enness.
Gov. Hubbard has issued an order 1of
the removal of D. C. Cameron, county SUI
perintendent OF schools OF Houston county
The case has attracted much Afternoon
throughout the state, and a very strong
fight was made by both sides. Cameron
was serving out his second term In the OF.
fee. He was recognized as most exceilehe
official, but it is alleged had one falllns
which has caused his downfall. Hewas adj
dicted to liquor, and was, it is charged, ap
habitual drunkard.
The case was brought before the governor
several weeks ago. Cameron employed
at great length. In EDITION to this, some
500 pages Of testimony and evidence was
submitted to the governor. Camerons
counsel held that the law passed by the
legislature to the effect that habitua]
drunkenness was a cause for removal was
unconstitutional. The constitution pro-
vided that only malfeasance and non-feas-
ance in office were causes for removal The
point as to whether habitual drunkenness
was malfeasancc was one which only
court could decide, and the governor there
fore did not have Jurisdiction. This Gov.
Hubbard overruled. The defense also
claimed that the removal for such cause
was contrary to all precedent. Gov. Hub
bard came out very strongly on this point,
and he says plainly that ii there is no pre-
cedent one should be established at once,
and he would do it. The Governor says:
appreciate all the reasons which have
combined to make Mr. Cameron's neigh
bors look with indulgence upon his faults
and cherish hope OF his amendment, andso
long defer action for his removal. | share
their regret that he has not made the pres
ent action unnecessary. It is argued that
the language OF the statute that the gov
ernor may remove from Office" for given
causes implies that he may remove or re-
fuse to remove at his pleasure. Doubtless
there is latitude, in proper cases, for for
bearance. But Mr.. Cameron has not been
taken by surprise; he has stood in this
peril for years; forbearance has already
been extended in great measure. feel that
justice to the teachers, the parents and
the children OF the state requires me to es-
tablish, as far as l may, the rule that coun-
ty superintendent OF Schools at least,
must not yield to habits OF intoXication-

dence in the case, to removed. G. Cameron

TOMORROW.

Throughout Chrstendom tomorrow
coming will be hailed with JOY and glad
ness and the day kept in grateful remem

Christian church Fraught as it is witt
the utmost importance and significance tC

upon by the devOtees of the Cross rs the
day above all others that gives Crcdence
and stability TO the teachings Of the Chris
tian religion for if there was no resurreC-
ton from the grave of the Christ Of the
Scriptures, then the ceremonies OF Christ

Good Friday a needless Formally. 1t is
the event that will be COmmemorated TO-
morrow with flowers and song that estab-
fishes the faith of those who look upon
Him who was born at Bethlehem and died
upon the Cross at Calvary and rose from
the tomb Of Joseph, as the Savior of man
kind.
A day 50 rich in .hallowed memories is
we'll worthy the following greeting written
by an American poetess whose verse though
little known has all the sweetness of true
poetry:
EASTER MORNING.
A voiceful silence fills the fleeing Night;
A noteless song is quivering through the
air;
The daughter of the sea-god, Slvery Dawn,
Calleth her scattered forces to draw near.
Responsive to the summons from the top
OF mounts and depths of wales, and from
the sea,
Roll clouds Of faintest opal, pearl and gray,
Moving to sounds of shadowy minstrelsy
A flash of crimson bursts from ont the East;
Gathering her tieecy columns flies the
Dawn,
After the fleeing host of Night she flies,
Leaving to conquering Morn the reddening
skies,
And Easter Day is born.
On earth the faithful have their watch been
keeping
For forty weary days and weary nights
In sackcoth and in ashes; bitter weeping
Turn they away from this celestial light.
They do not kn0w-how could they that
the glory
Shedding golden light o 'er land and sea,
Is the reflection of the angels story
That CHRIST o err Death has won the vic.
tory.
The Easter bells, what means their joyous
pealng?
You seem to draw it in with every breath;
What means this song angels and men are
telling?
Ring bells Sing people Every glad note
swelling
Is the death.knell of Death.

A SHATTERED IDOL.

If Chevalier Henri Watterson, the var
like editor of the Louisville CoVrt,rJ1Ur
nal, desires to longer maintain a national
reputation for gallantry, he must at once
cease his bloody clamorings over the re-
appointment by the President of woman
to the position of postmistress If Ken
tucky's metropolis. For years Whenever
in the North, the subject of South IN chiv
airy was mentioned and daring adventures
spoken of, the listener turned invduntarily
towards the COurjerJourRal editor as the
one best representing among the men OF
this degenerate age the high minded
knights of feudal days, who delighted in
nothing so much as fighting to he death
for lovely woman.
BY the Northener, whose blooC runs less
tlercely in his veins than his Southern
brother and whose mind is more given tC
matters of business character tlan to the
doing of deeds heroic, WatteIson has ever
been looked upon as embodyiT in his
character only those finer sensibilties that
enter into the makeup of the lyrical gal
liant. 1t was never for a moment suspected
that he at any time or under anyCircum
stances could be otherwise than ciivalric
or that he could ever so far forget himself
as to say anything in derogation of the
good fortune of an unprotected woman. II

lief that caused shock of surprise lkin Il

A TRAINING SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.

The movement now on foot to secure at
the hands Of the next general assembly an
appropriation for the establishing and
maintaining an "IllinOiS Manual Training
School for Girls" ought to receive encour,
agement both from the press and the pub
lie. The idea in itself is a good one, and
the effect of such an institution upon soci-
ETY. could not be but of the most beneficial
character Thus far in the history OF the
state there has never been an attempt made
10 found distinctive institution for the
care. and if need be, the reformation of the
homeless and destitute girls of the state.
Whatever has been accomplished in this
direction has been largely the result. of pri-
vate efforts made by philanthopiC men and
women or through the instrumentality of
Christian institutions supported by various
church organizations. Legislators have
readily made appropriations for the care
and reformation of boys, but either through
neglect or shorsighted policy they have
overlooked the fact that it is OF as much
i'm Importance, if not more, to take such steps
as will make virtuous and upright women
as it is to make honest and capable men,
As a consequence Of this continued fail
ure on their part 10 act In the matter, there
has been for the past years constantly in
creasing amount of vice and crime among
young girls ranging in age from ten to
twenty years The police records of Chi
cago alone show that during the past twelve
months l,&S5 females between such ages
were arrested for various offenses against
the law, and that G93 of them were less
than eighteen years of age. When to this
number is added the number of homeless,
destitute and criminally-inclined girls in
the remaining cities, towns and villages of
Illinois. it is readily apparent that the ne
cessity for such an Institution AS the one
now proposed is very great, if on no other
ground than the need of protecting society
at large from the disastrous consequences
of so much wickedneSs among those who
should elevate instead of demoralize it.
Ex-Gov. Beveridge has drafted bill de-
signed to meet this want which will be sub
mitted to the next Legislature. 1t creates
a training school for girls possessed of all
the corporate and other powers provided in
the act to regulate the state charitable in
situations. 1t further provides for the pur-
chase of not less than 40 nor more than 800
acres of land as site for the school, and
for the construction of the buildings neces-
sary the sum of 100000, together with an
annual appropriation of 100000 to main.
tain the institution. The management. is
10 consist of board OF five commissioners,
two of whom shall be women, and five
trustees, at least three of whom shall be
women; all to serve without compensation.
IA long period of time will elapse before
|he meeting of the legislature and the sub
ect should be thoroughly canvaSSed. The
Important object to be attained by the
nactment of such measure should entitle
to at least a thoughtful consideration and
STAIR discussion.
