Civil Liberty Well nefguo.3

This is not the liberty which we can

are freely heard, deeply considered and
speedily reformed, then is the utmost
bound Of civil liberty attained that wise
men look for.-John Milton.

The Committee are hard at work.
They do not meet with that generous
response that they should. We under
stand about half the amount has been
subscribed in land, and money. Let
us look at this proposition one mo-
ment. Fourteen of our shrewdest bust.
ness men have contributed little
more than 5000, or more than q
fourth of the required amount. Surely,
in . community with population of
more than four thousand, there should
be no trouble in raising the remainder
If fourteen citizens, most of whom are
not enumerated with the largest tax
payers, contribute one quarter, three
thousand nine-hundred and eighty-six
should put up the other three-quarters.
These fourteen men are among our
shrewdest and most capable business
men. Let us seek for the motive that
prompts their action. 1t is not for
glory or grandeur; they are not that
kind of men. The motive is plain.
They believe 1t to be q good invest
ment. We do not believe one of them
would give quarter of dollar to any
railroad enterprise in the United States
unless they saw something in it for
themselves. They are contributing
this money because they believe we
will be side-tracked if this road is not
built, and that il will not be built I'M
less this money is raised. We follow
the advice and seek the counsel of
these men in other financial matters.
why not do in thisf Why not as an
investment join with them and raise
this bonus? To do this will insure
the prosperity of our city, Not to do
it gives the go-by to the most feasible
and grandest opportunity that Olym-

The republican convention for the
nomination of state officers for the new
state of Washington was held at Walla
Walla a few days since. Ex- Governor
e. p. Perry, of Seattle, was nominated
on the first ballot for governor. John
l.. Wilson was nominated for congress.
The platform adopted con~gratulates the
people on the admission of Washing
ton, heartily commends the policy OF
President Harrison's administration,
(Tanner and all) indorses the Chicago
national republican platform, denounces
democracy for its second attempt TO
force American labor into competition
with pauper Europe, recognizes the
right of labor to organize for self-pro-
lection, favors legislation in recognition
of or to alleviate the needs of soldiers
or their widows, cOmmends liberal
appropriations tor river and coast de-
tense by the navy, and legislation pro-
noting the merchant marine; pledges
support for measures TO open the
Columbia river, denounces trusts and
combinations against labor, indorses
the exclusion act, recommends further
Legislation for the protection of Amcri-
can labor, and asks that Indian reser-
vations be opened rs rapidly as Justice
to the Indians will permit. The fun
niest part of this quite funny platform
is the suggestion as to restoring the
merchant marine wiped from the seas
by the republican high tariff. The only
way to get il once more ailoat is 10

TO school Teachers.

Believing institutes and teachers meetings
for the discussion Of plans and methods To DE
the greatest auxiliary that teachers haYe, we
have decided To request the teachers oI inc
county to hold monthly meetings ;anh in 0rdef
that every teacher IN the county may attend
without inconvenience on account Of inac-
feasibility, we have divided the county into
three districts, and to afford an opportunity
to any who may desire to attend all these
meetings we have set the meetings Of the dir
ferent districts on different days.
All teachers vino are most Convenient 10
Odessa are requested to meet at Odessa on
the second Saturday of every month.
All who are most convenient to Higgins
vile are requested to meet at iIigginsVllle on
the third Saturday Of every month.
All who are most convenient to Lexington
are requested to meet ii Lexington on the
fourth Saturday of every month.
The teachers of each district are invited to
attend the meetings of the other districts.
AT Odessa MIR. james Kemper will please
call the first meeting 10 order and act AS tenn
pOrary chair man until IA permanent Organiza-
ton is effected. At HIggin,vilIe Mr.. Il. II.

and at Lexington Mr.. II. ID, demand will
serve IN the same capacity. The secretary
Of each district will please keep Il record of
the attendance and report to the cOmmIs-
sloner at intervals, giving the number of days
each has attended.
There are many teachers in the county who
seem to be afraid to attend our annual county
institutes simply because they have never at
tended and wOuId not know what to do if
they did attend, in fact they say they are
afraid of showing their ignorance. TO all
such we would say, now is the time to make
the start, at these district meetings, attend
one each month and by our next annual
county institute Won will feel AS brave as any
body.
Normal schools and institutes and teachers
meetings and an improvement III methods of
teaching and government have come TO stay
and if you expect TO stay you would better
avail yourself of the advantages these ex-
tend to you, otherwise it will not be long I'M
til you will find when you start to aunt a
school that they will all have been let.
An effort will he made reXt spring to
adopt county supervision, aud if it succeeds
every teacher in the county will be required
by law to attend u county institute. Would
you not better go into training right away?
Those who attend these meetings will re-
ceive a higher standing on their certificates,
not as a reward or punishment, but because
they will be better qualified,

st. Louis Republic:-It is amusing &c
note the efforts OF the republican press
to explain or excuse that increase IN
the public debt. The administration

ton in the public debt and in the inter
est charged OH the debt was just three
times as great in july and August,
1889, as ii was in the same months in
1888, when the democratic administers
ton was in power" The trouble with
this explanation is that il implies that
the payments on the public debt were
made out of current income, and that
made the deficit. If so, how comes il
that the surplus in the treasury, which
was $ll7 ,673, 800 on September /, 1883,
was only $43,4S9 ,909 on September |,
1882 Over $64 GOO. 900 of the surplus
