SCHOOL, BONDS.

The members of the board Of educa-
tion can save themselves much mental
and physical labor by closely studying
the provisions of the law governing
elections for the issuing OF school bonds.
Under the law of 1887, chapter II, sec
tion %, governing school boards in met
ropolitan cities, the board is prohibited
from expending more than twenty-five
thousand dollars in any one calendar
year without first submitting the ques-
tion to the vote of the electors the dis
trict, sat the time and place of dny city,
county on state election" The election for
members of the school board is not q
city, county or state election. 1t is n
district election, governed by the school
law, and the question Of issuing bonds
cannot legally be submitted at such
election. Section % Of the same act
provides further THAT no bonds shall
be issued by the board of education
without first submitting the PROPOSE
tions of issuing bonds, at an election to
be called for that purpose, or at any
regular election"
The apparent Inconsistency OF the
two sections is a warning to the board
to proceed cautiously and legally. 1t is
grave question which provision would
be held valid by the courts, and the
board cannot afford to have the validity
of bonds questioned after they have been
authorized. 1t is safer to delay final
action on the proposition until the legal
authorities are consulted.

A TOUCHING ENT.
Governor Gordon and STAFF Presented
With Grand Army Badges.


NEW York May Especial Telegram to
THE BEE. "A touching incident occurred at
Broadway and Park Place yesterday, when
Commander Drake, of the Elizabeth Zou-
aves, presented Governor Gordon and staff
of Georgia with Grand Army badges. This
was the first meeting of the two old soldiers
since the time they met on the field OF battle
There was "A slight delay in the liue of marc h.
Commander Drake, learning that Governor
Gordon was riding behind the New Jersey
troops called his staff about him and went
to the rear of the line. The two old soldiers
grasped hands IN silence and tears could be
seen in the eyes of each. Then Commander
Drake took G. A. Il. badge from his breast
and pinned it on the breast Of Governor
Gordon. The commanders staff followed
the example OF its leader and pinned
badges on the breasts of the other ex-confed-
crates. Thousands who witnessed the act
expressed appreciation in the beartiest
cheering heard in any part of the city

THE NATIONS VOLUNTEER ARMl

THE NATIONS VOL OLUNTEER ARMY
The magnificent display of citizen SOL
diery in New York on Tuesday was, we
judge from the description, the largest
and finest of its kind ever witnessed in
the country. The military parade IN
Philadelphia thirteen years ago was
imposing, but there were not SO many
states represented there as in New
York, and the number OF men in line
was not so great. A more impressive
display than either was the review in
Washington of the union armies after
the war in 1865, but the veterans who
marched there, while volunteers, had
become regulars. They were splen-
did host of brave and patriotic soldiers;
who, had an appeal come to them in that
hour, when peace had returned to the
Land and they were receiving the hom-
age and plaudits OF a grateful people, to
go forth again in defense of the govern
ment, would to a man have returned to
camp and TO the hardships of the cam
paign and the perils OF the battlefield
without murmur. 1t can safely
be said that in all history no

IT is significant that no opposition is
being worked up by the friends OF the
Indians to the opening OF the Sioux res
ervation, Last year when the COM
mission appointed to treat with the In
dians was about to negotiate with them
they were warned not to sign the meas
ure. The present commission is not
likely to be intertered with, and as the
Indians themselves appear anxious to
sign, the opening of the Sioux reserva-
tion is sevidently not far off.

PRESIDENT HARRISON is evidently
in great need of rest and recuperation.
When he arose to speak at the banquet
in New York it was observed that he
appeared tired and looked paler than
usual. Although not a large man
physically, President Harrison is of
rugged constitution, and by his regular
and careful habits of life he has pre-
served vigorous vitality, but the tre-
mendous strain to which he has been
subjected in Washington, together with
the unhealthful condition of the white
house, have put his strength to the
severest test ever experienced by any
president. A man of less indomitable
will than President Harrison would
have given up weeks ago and sought
rest, and the danger is that he will hold
on until compelled to surrender, thus
increasing the difficulty of restoring his
strength. The president should take a
vacation OF at least two weeks, goin to
some quiet and secluded place where he
will be safely beyond the reach OF the
persistent and pestiferOus office seekers.

BEGINNING with the first OF the cur

made in the liquor traffic of Boston, due
TO the enforcement Of the new license

number of licensed places in that city is

AN opinion has been rendered by ex-
United States Judge McCreary, to the
effect that no state can prohibit the i'm
portation of wholesome meats under the
anti-dressed beef legislation. The
learned jurist, quoting the constitution
holds that the supreme law OF the land,
as we'll as numerous decisions of the SUI
preme court, have decided that no state
or territory can shut out the products OF
another state. Measures of such a
character in that event are an improper
exercise of the police powers OF state,
Local inspection laws exceed constitu-
tional limits in that they make no dis
tinction between pure, healthful food
products and impure, diseased articles.

THE Rapid City Journal takes Omaha
to task for its indifference to the COM
mercial interests of the Black Hills.
Sew cities in the country" says the
Journal, 'have paid less attention to
this district than has Omaha. Though
nearer to the Hills by twenty y-four
hours travel than Chicago or St. Paul,
Omaha's merchants have not been in
clined to use their advantage, and IN
consequence hundreds of thousands of
dollars. worth of trade annually has
gone to those cities which Omaha
might have enjoyed. 1t has never
seemed that Omaha merchants have
realized that this is q good field for
them. Now they may find that 1t is
hard to divert established trade from
channels in which it has moved for
years. Possibly the visit of the repre-
sentatives of Omaha's board of trade
may do some good. 1t will not be bad
thing for the Hills il it shall impress
the visitors with better opinion of
