Amid the various rumors OF the
rise and fall OF newspapers, the FREE
Pass would modestly suggest that
it is going right along as heretofore
only improving, like wine, with age.
During two-thirds of its existence it
has held the field alone in San Mar
cos, recording and promoting its
progress and that OF the county by
publications calculated to promote
immigration. During all that time
we don't believe anybody ever sug-
gested that it was wanting in any
respect az an efficient and crcditable
representative Of the town or coun-
e. The only objection VIC have
ever heard raised against It was thnt
it had opinions and convictions Of its
own. and dared 10 express them in
what It believed 10 be the best IN
terest Of the people generally. Il
this is a crime. thCnit is verify guilty.
We do not believe that its oldiriends
and it, intelligent following general
ly will faIl in their support for any
such cause, or be misled by sham
preteJts from aoy quarter.

Washington, May 6.-Represen-
tative Boutelle, Of Maine, to-day in
troduced in the house q bill intended
to repair damages inflicted upon
State prohibition laws by the recent
decision of the supreme court in the
original package case. The bill is in
the shape of section which it is
proposed to add to the interstate

The following, from IN exchange

"a lawyer OF Athens, Georgia, has
satisfactorily settled the jute bagglng
trouble, by making the very bagging
required from the cotton stalks,
which have heretofore been regarded
MS worthless. Ho has worked his
invention successfully, and can afford
to poy So per ton for bare stalks
from which to manufacture the bag
ging. saving to tho southern farmers
millions Of dollars annually on what
has heretofore been wasted. The
bagging manufactured from ono
years stalks will wrap three years
crops, so there will always be u plen-
tiful supply of raw material.

A GREAT PowER.-More Than thirty-two
thousand public schools of the United
States have each been supplied with copy
of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.
Think what thet means. If there is an
average of fifty scholars to each school, it
means that constantly million and half
of American youth have the privilege OF
consulting and studying this great work in
the course of their education. Who can
estimate the power for intellectual stimuls-
ton and development which is thus active
ly at work all the time? The pre-eminenoo
of the American people for general accu-
racy and facility in the use of the English
language is not likely to be lost. Well
and truly has Noah Webster been called
the Schoolmaster of the Republic.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular Correspondent

(From our regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. @. May II, 1890.
Senator John +. Wilson, Of Iowa,
regarded as one OF the best lawyers
in the Senate has prepared for pub
LEGATION long article concerning the
recent "liquor package decision Of
the Supreme Court. and the effect Of
that decision on the liquor traffic in
the prohibition states. He says that
the public powers Of state permit
it to prohibit or regulate the sale,
within it's borders of intoxicating
liquors. That if the prohibition Of
the sale of intoxicating liquors in
original packages was violation Of
Of interstate commerce law the IL
cense system would also fail. The
saloons OF New York City would have
liquors sent from Jersey City in pack
ages, containing from a drink to q
gallon, and avoid paying any license.
He does not approve Of common sug-
gestions that Congress give the
states permission to make laws pro-
bibiting and regulating the liquor
traffic, as he thinks that right
shouldn't be be questioned, but sug-
gests that bill entitled "a bill to
protect the states in the exercise of
THEFT police powers already on the
calendar OF the Senate, will grant the
permission suggested by the Supreme
Court to the States for the effective
enforcement of their liquor laws.

of any portion of the annual allow

Intelligence was received here to-day Of the
horrible death Of young girl named Mary
Swanson at a small village about five miles
west of the city. It is impossible to learn
all the particulars but it appears that the
bedstead in the girls room was infected
with red ants, and she, in order to destroy
them, poured a large quantity of gasoline
oil upon the bed and ignited it. The first
time the oil flashed for brief interval and
then t s,1 was extinguished with no bad results
tS wi but on the girls trying it again
oil, set her clothing on fire and burned her
body almost to a crisp. Her friends, hear
ing her outcries rushed to her assistance,
but were almost powerless in rendering aid.
Her body was enveloped in wet sheets, but
efforts to save her life were futile, and she
died aboutfour hours after the accident.
She was about thirteen years old, and is
said to have been bright and intelligent
