TIE Board of Education is perfecting
some needed reforms in the public schools
which will be appreciated by the people.
The expenses will be lessened. A course
of study will be laid down which prom
ises more thoroughness, and line and
code marked out for the teachers which
they will be required to observe. Atten-
ton will be given to the subject of text
books, and it is believed the public will
in measure be protected from the alb
surd and shameless impOsitiOns of school
book publishers.
The foregoing are some features of the
new era which will be inaugurated with
the beginning of the next school year.
1t is hoped that the people will this
year determine to add three additional
members to the Board, so that they can
be chosen at the next annual election
In every view, this is greatly to be desir-
ed, and it is believed, if each individual
will think of it, our people will, practic-
ally, be unanimous in support of the pro-
position.

JAPANESE PRESS LAWS.

STRINGENT RULES AND AWFUL PENAL
TIES FOR BRowN-sKINNED JOURNAL
IsTs.
London News.
Despite the copying of European civ
iIizatiOn in this country, l doubt if
more stringent set of press laws could
be devised than the imperial regulations
'.For the Guidance of Editors,'' recently
published in the Yeddo Gazette. The
text is as follows:
Editor, manager and printer shall
state their full names and ages on max
ing written application for authority to
publish journal. Applicants must not
be less than twenty years of age, Japan
eSe subjects, and persons who have nev-
er been deprived of their civil rights.
The editor can not also be the manager
of the same newspaper, and each of them
has to deposit as caution money a sum
between $3.50 and 81, 900, unless the pa
per be exclusively devoted to science,
art or commerce. Every reply to an ar
ticle in the paper must be Inherited IN
ertenso in the same type as the article
which called it forth, and at the head of
the same column-always provided that,
if the reply occupies twice as much
space as the article, the manager is en-
titled to charge for the excessive matter
as an advertisement. There is to be no
exception to this rule, except when the
reply is of the character of an attack or
if it is anonymous. No newspaper is to
argue in support of breach of a law,
even if the law is considered bad one.
No official document can be published,
nor any allusion to it permitted, without
the authority of the department which
it concerns. The minister is to have the
right TO suspend, prohibit or confseate
every newspaper the tone of which seems
to be injurious to the public peace or to
existing customs, however open those
customs in themselves may be to erlti-
cism. Every infractiOn of these rules
is to be punished by severe penalties,
although less severe than those which
were in force before the passing of this
law.
The editor who is found guilty of dis
obeying the statute may be punished in
three WAYS, according to the degree of
his offense-frst by decapitation, sec
ond by having both hands cut off, his
ears Theoretically sealed, and his tongue
slit, and thirdly by Imprisonment from
) to 40 years, never less than five.

WHO COMPLAINS?

Tariff League Bulletin.
Who complains of the tariff?
Does the wOrkingman, getting better
wages by far than in any other country
in the world?
Does the farmer, selling more of his
produce in his own country than does
the husbandman of any European ma
tiOn.?
Does the consumer of protected arti-
eles, who has watched the selling price
go steadily down as the home manu-
facture has increased?
The wage Garner and the wage giver
are together on this question, battling
for the right to their enjoyment of all
the benefits this country can afford them.
Does the taxpayer, whose burden is
lessened thousands of dollars by reve-
nue. from tariff-four-fifth of which
come out of the pocket of the foreigner?
These four classes comprise the vast
majority of the people, and if they do
not complain, but on the contrary, heart
lily support the tariff, who should ques-
ton its benefits?

Belt1tn1tt Chronicle.
THURSDAY. MAY 81, 1888.

TIE Gazette is mistaken. There is no
question of veraeity at issue. 1t was AS
serted in these columns two weeks agd
that the little Mephistopheles who uni
dertakes to find fault with the Commisi
sioners is more responsible for abuses
that may exist in our county government
than all other men in the county. Therd
has been no denial of that allegation, and:
therefore there can be no question of vel
racity.
The experience of quarter of cent
fury last past demonstrates and sustaini
the declaration that, without exceptionI
Democrats chosen to office in this county
have shown their unfitneSs for govern!
ment, and, as a rule, selfish, narrowl
and partisan spirit in the administration
of public affairs. They have originated
and maintained abuses have treated the
public treasury when in control of it as
legitimate plunder for themselves and
their friends-have directly robbed tho
Treasury of large sums of money, and
indirectly of other large sums-hay9
forged and altered figures upon the tax;
duplicates, to conceal their robberies 7
and when detected have upheld and uni
dertaken to defend the crimes Is there
a citizen of the county, coRversant with
its history, who will challenge these dej
clarations? Did not the Democratic lead
ers, to man, gather around and sustain
a Democratic Treasurer who was accused
of em5ezzling large sum of money? /.
Did they not, after verdict for more
than $1,000 was obtained against him,
in court presided over by Democratie
fudge, still defend and justify and att
tempt to explain away the robbery
Where was Mr.. Cofiiand at that time, and
what was he about? In the Auditors
Office, treated by the apologists of this
crime as one of their friends, and so dis
trusted by the Commissioners and others
engaged in unearthing the rascality that
they had to pursue their Investigations
without his assistance. Where was he
when organized raids upon the Treasury.
under a pretense of the forms of law,
were fattening off the people? In the
Auditors office, drawing warrants upon
the Treasury.
Report says some of these patriots, af-
ter their miserable failure of last year,
boasted that this year they would have
Billy Coffland put upon the Committee,
and that the public might then look out
foran earthquake. Mr.. Coffland, instead,
should put his hand to his mouth, and
q
his mouth to the dust.
The effrontery Of putting forward such
a man for such purpose is amazing
Do the Democratic leaders think the peo-
pie are fools, or that they are all knaves,
like themselves?

THE BIRDS MUST KNOW.

The birds must know. Who wisely sings
VIII sing as they:
The common air has generous wings,
Songs make their way.
No messenger 10 run before,
Deyising plan;
No mention of the place or hour
To any man;
No waiting till some sound betrays
listening ears
No different voice, no new delays
If steps draw near.
: ,swhat bind is that? It's song is good
And eager eyes
Co peering through the dusky wood
In glad surprise.
Then late at night, when by his fire
The traveller sits;
Watching the flames grow brighter, higher,
The sweet song fiits
BY snatches through his weary brain
To help him rest.
When next he goes that road again,
An empty nest
On leafless bough viii make him sigh,
'Ah me! Last spring
Just here heard. in passing by,
That rare bird Singi"
But while he sings. remembering
How sweet the song,
The little bird on tirelesS wing
Is borne,along
In other air, and other men,
With weary feet,
M, afl,a- ,aa@ls tbe cif,,a,la strain,
Are finding sweet.
The birds must know. Who wisely sings
VIII sing as they:
The common air has generous wings.
Songs make their way.

While Blaine had over 800 against
him in the district in 1884, Gen. A. ].
Warner had only 200 over Taylor. This
year the best results are expected from
the district. With the good record of
the Republican Legislature, the match
less State administration and the clean
hands and faithful service with which
Col. Taylor comes before his constitu-
ents for Endorsement, the Seventeenth
district should roll up as big majority
for its Taylor as the Nineteenth does
for its favorite son of the same name.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

1HE KEPU Bl4lCAN CON V ENI1ON.
Chicago Dispatch.
The sub committee of the National
Republican Committee has been in ses-
SIGN in Chicago for two days, arranging
the details of the Convention and deeid-
ing upon the distribution of tickets and
the allotment of seats to the press, and
other matters of detail The seating ca
pacity of the hall is seven thousand.
thus necessitating smaller apportion-
ment of seats than heretofore. The COM
mittee decided to give to each delegate
three general tickets for distribution,
and one press ticket to each delegate,
thus enabling the delegates to take care
of the local press in their district and
State.
One hundred and forty seven working
seats at tables are provided for such of
the larger daily newspapers as will make
up and send out from the hall special
telegraphic reports to supplement the
verbatim report of the Associated Press.
No others papers excepting those send
ing out such special reports can be Civ
en- representation at these tables. In
the 147 seats are included the seats re-
quired by the Associated Press and Off
eial stenographers. The local Press
Committee was directed to carry out
these provisions, and also notified that
the largest number of working tickets or
seats given to any paper should be three.
The greater portion of the daily pa
pers taking reports will have but one
seat. Alternate delegates will have no
tickets except their own, or none for dis
tribution. 1t has been the usual custom
to give to the city where the National
Convention is held fifteen per cent. of
the tickets. The committee has reduc
ed this for this Convention to ten per
cent. The remaining tickets will be di
vided between the press, members of
Congress, Governors of States, and other
distinguished guests.

TIE Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer says: 81 venture
to remark that there never was Demo-
cratic President of the United States
who did not like good article or whis-
ky. Mr.. Buchanan, the last Democrat
ic President before Cleveland, bought
from the distilleries through Pennsylva-
mia the best make of whiskies and laid
them away in his cellar, and there they
grew old, and when enemies multiplied
about the old man and he was in exile
he merely brought up another bottle and
drank alone and felt that he was right.
Let the assurance go out to the land
that there is fortitude in the corn and
the rye"

JEFF DAVIS GETS A CROWN.

Jackson dispatch, May %.
More than six thousand persons wit
messed the ceremonies connected with
the laying of the corner stone of the
Confederate monument here.
AtI1 o'clock the procession headed
by carriages containing distinguished
visitors and State officers moved from
city hall. Jefferson Davis did not at
tend owing to bad health. Upon arriy-
ing at the State Capitol building, Miss
Winnie Davis was conducted to the Ii
brary chamber and formally introduced
to the large crowd by Governor Lowry.
The ceremonies at the monument fol-
lowed and were opened by the reading
of a letter from Mr.. Davis explaining
his absence. The laying of the corner
stone with Masonic ceremonies closed
the exercises of the day.
Col. Charles F. Hooker delivered the
Grafton, and at the close presented Miss
Davis with silver crown, to be given
by her to her father
