THE Constitution of South Dakota,
adopted by the Sioux Falls convention,
gives school suffrage to women, and
provides that an amendment shall be
submitted to the people granting them
full suffrage. Evidently the delegates
were not fully convinced Of the pro
priety Of making equal political rights
constitutional in the new State to start
with, or were not sure Of popular ap-
proval. Several other provisions are
notable, among them one limiting the
debt that may be incurred by the State
to $500, COO, except in case Of war, and
the count ity, and town indebted

THE Emperor of China is seldom
disturbed in his sleep. A Pelzn paper
announces that strict surveillance is
kept by the gendarmerie around the
palace to prevent the imperial repose
being broken by the firing of crackers,
street cries, OF wrangling voices, the
blowing of horns, or noisy marriage or
funeral professions"

THE house that Sunset Cox built at
Columbus, Ohio, forty years ago is in

arched like the entrance to churches,

the editorial that gave him the sobri-

of the Statesman.

DEAR Press:
The men on John Days have been
fighting fire for two or three days and
nights above the saw-mil. Sometimes
1t seemed as though they would have to
give up and let the old mill burn. They
became quite expert in moving rails
and posts from one place to another.
The danger is supposed to be past now.
although there is still considerable fire
burning. The air is thick with smoke.

The Governors Banquet.

On Monday evening the Governor
gave a grand banquet to the members
and attaches of the constitutional con-
vention, in the large dining hall of the
Overland Hotel. Two tables were set
the entire length of the hall; at the
head of one was the seat of His Excel
lency, on his right President Clagett Of
the convention, and on his left the edi.
tor of tho Statesman. At the other end
of this table was seated Mayor Pinney,
and on the one hand Vice President
Reid of the convention, and on the 9th
er the venerable and highly respected
"local" of the Statesman.
Mr.. Delegate Dubois presided at the
other table. with Messrs. Hepburn and
Mcconnell on either hand. At the OPP
posite end of the table was Mr.. Secre-
tary Curtis, who admirably performed
the duties of toast-master.
The banquet did credit to the house,
and was handsomely served. The
health of the beloved and universally
honored Governor of Idaho." was pro-
posed by Delegate Crutcher. and drank
standing with hearty cheers. There
followed with generous flow of patri-
otto ardor for the welfare of the state-of
Idaho, and good fellowship for all her
sous, sentiments in honor of the presi-
dent of the convention, and of our del
egate in Congress, to which both of
these gentlemen made eloquent replies;
to the health and welfare of Vice-P Pres
ident Reid, and Delegates Hepburn,
Ainslie, Mcconnell, Parker, Sweet ,Stull,
Allen and Beatty, to which these gen.
tlemen all made response in the high
and genial spirit which ruled the hour.
Mr.. Parker, who has been, perhaps, less
satisfied with the convention than any
of his associates, tried to enter into the
fraternal and hopeful spirit Of the hour,
and made capital hit when he declar-
ed that he had been able to vote faye"
once during the session. The health of
Secretary Curtis, and of Mayor Pinney,
were also drank, and hearty responses
made, the Secretary ringing the hall
with his bursts of wit. Tho "Memory
of the Pioneers" was drank standing,
and Mr.. Goulder, of the Statesman, re-
piled with touching eloquence. This
gentleman reached idaho in 1916, and
as his white head was seen rising from
the crowd of young gentlemen who sat
about him, as his name was called from
all parts of the hall, he was received
with the warmest welcome. "Annexa-
ton" was drank in silence. all standing.
"The Press" was responded to by Mr..
French of the Statesman, and 1.-THE La
dies" by Col. Hammill.
1t was well past midnight when the
happy company shook hands, and with
abundant good wishes and hearty
pledges for united work for the ratifica-
ton of the constitution, reluctantly
bade goodbye to the scene of SO much
pleasure. 1t was happy idea OF the
Governor 10 bring all the gentlemen of
the convention together under such
pleasant and harmonious circumstances
on the eve of their departure.-B9ise

method which will make the census re.

RUSTIC, IDAHO, Aug. IL, 1889.
Ed. FREE Press:
The last quarterly examination was
held at Cottonwood. There were five
applicants, so we think the number of
teachers is increasing in Idaho county.
Our worthy superintendent, Mr.. II.
Robbins, conducts his examinations
orally, and makes them very practical.
While he tries not to confuse the appli-
cants, he endeavors to find out if their
work, as teachers, is the best that can
be done.
Expression and thought are insepara-
BILE. and there is but one means of ex-
pressing thought orally and that is call
ed talking or speaking. The progress Of
a pupil must be judged by expression.
that being the only key by which a
teacher obtains an insight into his
mind. If pupils have ideas, they will
be able to express them intelligibly.
Vague, disconnected statements are
sure indices of confusion Of thought,
and Supt. Robbins has a good idea OF
your ability to impart instruction to
others by the time he has asked from
100 to $50 questions in each branch, as
is his custom, in place of the usual ten.
