GURERNAToRIAL QUALIPICA.
TlONS.

The, Reno Gazette contends that as
. candidate for Governor, if a man
has an honorable personal record, it
makes no difference whether his name
appears on an assessment roll in this
State or not. AS general PROPOSE
ton the Gazette's position is correct.
Any citizen without a dollars worth
Of any taxable property anywhere on
earth, but whose feelings, sympathies
and interests are identified with the
State is as Justly entitled to political
consideration as the possessor Of
millions But that rule would have
TO be strained to a dangerous tension
TO apply to the Republican nominee
for Governor, as we believe the Ga
zette will be candid enough to- admit.
Mr.. Coloord, as the Chronicle is in
formed, is gentleman in comfortable

Of his money is invested in the State
Of which he aspires to be the executive

cast was in California, and the prob
ability is that, if he was to- remove
across the line tomorrow he would
experience no difficulty in voting in

Gov. Millar'e Veto.

Gov. Miller Of North Dakota has vetoed the
Fargo agricultural bill. He incorporates in
his veto the opinion of the attorney general
upon the question OF the constitutionality Of
the bill. That officer says it is clearly in con-
tIjct with section 109 of the constitution,
which says the proceeds of all the land grants
in he United States shall be and remain per-
Tetual unds. and that all lands remaining
unsold shall be invioably appropriated and
applied to the specific object OF the original
grant or gift. The Fargo bill provided that
all lands granted for the use and support Of
an agricultural college and all proceeds from
the sale thereof should be pledged for the
payment Of the bonds and interest author
led Ivy the bill for the erection and fur
nishug of suitable buildings for the
college and experimental station, the
sum lOr that pursOse being $40, 900 The
governor accepts the attorney generals
view Of the cUnstitutonality of the bill, and
SAYS that is sufficient reason why the bill
should not receive his approval He goes
fnrther. however and Tecapitulates the f.
nancial condition of the state, and shows
the probable deficiency to be nearly $3.50
600. The governor says:
We're there no constitutional restrictions,
would deem it Incompatible with the best in
terpsts of the state and the various institu-
tiOns that these lands or the income from
them should be pledged in any manner for
the issuance Of bonds. Should this policy
be pursued, the state would soon find itself
unable to properly and efficiently maintain
the various institutions established by the
constitution.
The governor says that the educational
institutions not already in operation should
only be established to meet the needs of the
people, and as the financial ability of the
state would insure their proper equipment
and maintenance. The erection of buildings
for the ornamentation of cities and villages
is not, in his opinion, what was contemplated
by the government in its generous donation
OF lands 10 the state.

Congressman Springer Seeks to

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
1t is supposed to be the intention of Spring
err of Illinois to ward off the admission of
Idaho and Wyoming unless New Mexico
and Arizona are taken in as we'll, and for
that reason he introduced another omnibus
bill to-day. Springer had previously
promised to support Delegates Dubois and
Carey in their efforts for admission, and
had not made the admission of the other
territories q condition precedent. 1t is
known that the Democrats have determined
to make fight against the admission of
Idaho and New Mexico and Arizona are
to be used as pretext. The senate COM
mittee on territories held a meeting to-day
for the purpose of taking final action on
the bill for the admission of Idaho and
Wyoming The committee anticipated max
ing favorable report on these bills to-day,
but President Bishop Bulge, the head of the
Mormon church in Idaho, appeared and
asked that he be given hearing in opposi-
ton to the Idaho constitution; which has a
stringent anti Mormon clause. Accordingly
the committee postponed final eonsidera-
ton of the bills until Monday next, when
Bishop Bulge will appear by counsel, and
present an argument against the Idaho bill.
Delegate Dubois of Idaho said to-day:

Queen Victoria and the Prince Of
Wales Not as Robust as Formerly.
LONDON, Special.-Upon the authority
of court official it is stated that neither
the queen nor the prince of Wales is in ro-
bust health. The queen, whose health has
hitherto been generally good, has suffered
of late years from more or less acute rheum-
atism, and this ailment is accompanied by
an indisposition, common among less ex-
allied persons so afflicted, to enter into en-
gagements involving public appearances for
any remote date. The prince of Wales, like
other members of his family, finds that fire.
quent change of life and scene benefits him
greatly, and, though not a man of very en-
during physical strength, he has been gen.
rally able to fulfill his public engagements,
not always, however, without suffering the
consequences in the recurrence of some of
the ailments to which he is subject. Oflate
he has found himself unable to maintain
all the activity of his earlier days, especially
in regard to the sports incident to this sea-
son of the year. In some respects the prince
is less robust than the queen, and though
in fairly good health, is advised by his
physicians that his constitution is one need
ing considerable care and only moderate
exercise.

The Compulsory Education Law In
Wisconsin Goes into Effect.

the first day of the period of twelve weeks
prescribed by the board of education, under
til" Bennett law during which each parent
or guardian must send children of school
age under his care to public or private
school. After the expiration of the twelve
weeks the duty of the parent or guardian,
if he has complied with the law, will have
been fulfilled for the year 1890. There is u
fine for each failure to send the children to
school for week. \ school, in the eyes OF
the law under which the order of the board
is based is a place of instruction where
reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar and
United States history are taught, i'll the En-
glish language. y question arose recently
which, in the opinion of local legal lights
threatened the failure of the law III this
city, The board had not given the required
notice as to the period Of twelve weeks until
a month after the time set forth i'll the law.
The opinion of the attorney general was
obtained on this point, however and he re-
CARDS this part of the law as directory and
not mandatory. The board will proceed to
officially ascertain the course of study pur-
sued III the Catholic parish schools, to lind
out whether parents sending their chill
dren to these schools are complying with
the law.
At the first board of education meeting
tonight corps of seven "truant CatChers'
were appointed by resolution. Their pre-
Scribed duty is to sCour the streets and alleys
and other public places and pick up chill
dren who ought to be in school, under the
Bennett law, to arrest them and place them
i'll school to be designated by their par
ents or guardians or by the board Rigid

A ST. Louisan Kidnaps His Two
Children From His Divorced Wife.
ST.. LOUIS, Special.-Interest in the
sensational divorce suit of Coates VS.. Coates
was renewed to-day when Mrs. E. H.
Coates received a letter from DR.. Coates,
her former husband, announcing that he
had left for parts unknown, taking with
him their two children, Emma, aged seven,
and Mamie aged five years. When Mrs.
Coates was granted divorce it was stipu-
lated that the father should have the chill
dren with him at certain intervals. DR..
Coates came to st. Louis from Montgomery,
Mo, shortly before Christmas, and sent for
children. This morning the mother re-
ceived letter from Coates stating that he
and the children were hundreds of miles
away and that she would not see them
again for for four and One-half years. Mrs.
Coates is Frustrated with grief. DR..
E. H. Coates shot and killed DR..
Keith in St. Louis couple of
years ago. He claimed that the shooting
was provoked by Keith's attention to his
wife. Keith was a man of nearly seventy
years of age, and Coates assertions were not
credited by the friends and acquaintance
of the old doctor and Mrs. Coates. Coates
was captured after the shooting and put in
Jail on charge of murder in the first de-
gree. When his trial came up his defense
was insanity. The plea was sustained by
the jury and Coates acquitted, but sent to
the insane asylum. After remaining in
the asylum for about three months he was
set free on the grounds that he was thor
oughly restored. The police were notified
of the abduction to-day and furnished with
accurate descriptions of the children and
father so as to telegraph all over the country
to have them intercepted. Emma, the
eldest child, is a blonde with sharp feat
ures, blue eyes and of spare build. She is
slightly under size and has peculiar walk,
dragging her feet. The younger, Mamie, is
also blonde with blue eyes. Her features
are full and she is considered pretty.

Facts About the Moonstone.

THE word precious cannot beap-
piled to moonstones." said we'll
known dealer in jewelry, because
their marketable value is relatively
small at all times, and is still further
influenced by the DEGREES of fashion.
For some years past we have had
but few calls for moonstones, but
about twelve months ago they were
restored to popular favor, and will
probably continue to be much used
for some time to come. The stones
come from India, areeasily procured,
and there is butlittle waste in cut
ting. They are almost invariably
of a blush white tint, the rays Of
the most perfect stones much re-
sembling moonlight hence the namel.
those OF a less clear or yellOwish hue
being of but little value. When
carved, the clear transparency of the
stone is of course marred, bnt many
OF them are so embellished, the man
in the moon being a tavorite device.
and a baby s face surrounded with q
cap of pears or diamonds another"
The moonstone is seldom worn
alone by fashionable people, having
usually an accompanying setting Of
diamonds or other precious stones.
In response to a question the dealer
added: "The largest moonstone I
have ever seen was one of oblong
shape about * inches in length and
z of an inch in width. This was set
to represent butterfly with partial
ly closed wings of brilliantly coIored
stones; and was intended to be worn
Us pendant. These stones are not
valued by weight as others are, but
simply by appearance and size, a
perfectly round stone being more de-
sirable than tiatter one and more
rare.
AS the the moonstone is tradition
ally lucky, it is mostsuitable for SOU
venirs, parting and anniversary
gifts, and from present indications
will be much used for favors and we'd
ding presents during the coming gay
