NOTE AND COMMENT.

The supplement sent out this week to
subscribers in the State contains the pub
lie acts of the late legislature. 1t will
be found worth careful reading.
Now it is said the Messiah craze among
the Indians has been greatly eXaggerat-
ed and that bad treatment at the hands
of the governments agents was the true
cause of the uprising.
The Democratic Senators at Washing
ton propose to talk the election bill to
death and have drawn up a programme
of l6 weeks of yawp about it. If that
doesn't kill it, il should pass.
The latest from Washington is that At
torney General Miller, President Harri-
sons old law partner, is to have the
place on the supreme court bench made
vacant by the death of Justice Miller.
The interstate commerce commission
is not at at all satisfied with the law un-
der which it operates, and, IN its annual
report, recommends large number of
amendments designed to strengthen the
law.
Christopher Columbus only lineal
descendant, the duke of Veragua, is dy-
ing at Madrid, so Chicago cannot have
him for an attraction should it have a
fair. He was noted mainly as a breeder
of fighting bulls.
The new school law, it has been discov-
cred, does not !ibe at all with the old.
The old law made the term of the super
visors two years from July. /, 1889; but
the new one cuts of their official heads
April ! next. This is only one of its pc
culiarities.
The members of the Farmers alliance
have just had tremendous gathering at
Ocala, Fla. The long platform adopted
reads like the production of the Boss
Crank of Christendom. 1t begins with
a modest demand for the abolition of ma
tional banks; demands the establishment
by the government of sub-treasuries in
which the farmers may secure loans at
not to exceed two per cent on farm pro-
ducts and real estate; demands the in
crease of the circulating medium, etc.,
etc, including demand for the 'remov-
al of the existing heavy tariff on the
necessaries of life." The platform has
the merit of being unique, if it is not
sensible.
Now, when Broderick, Reform school
graduate, is on trial for criminal offence,
is good time to inquire whether that
institution does the business it was in
tended to do. Those who have watched
it with some care say that it turns out
more criminals than decent men, or that
the former are at least as numerous as
the latter. 1t would be interesting to
know how many who have been in the
Reform school are now in State prison or
the House of Correction. One reason
given for the downfall of so many of its
graduates-and it seems valid one-is
that no proper teaching is afforded the
pupils. So far as trade goes, they
learn only how to seat chairs, a simple
and pOorly-paid occupation; so that when
discharged they are almost forced to
commit some crime or starve. If these
allegations are well founded, the reform
of the Reform school is in order IN this
era of reform.

There is just now in session at Bloc
mington, in this state, a convention
of the religious order known as 1.-THE
Kings Daughters" attended by over
200 delegates from all parts of the
country. Speaking of the work and
rapid spread of the order, Mrs. Davis,
of New York, said there are circles in
every civilized or sem-civllized nation
of the world except COrea. What IA
ther puzzles us is the name of the or
der OF course being strictly orthodox
Christian in its faith and aims, the
name ought to be scriptural in its ori-
gin and suggestion. Now the most no.
table kings daughter we just now
recall any mention of in scripture is
the one in , Kings xii, "a: $50 see now
this cursed woman, and bury her: for
she is a kings daughter" 1t can hard
ly be supposed that it was the inten-
ton to celebrate the virtues Of Jezebcl
in naming the order. More likely the
name is an appropriation from Edward
| Everett lIale's charming book. SIN

read the Bible to one that ever saw
