MARRIED WOMEN As TEACHERS

A resolution has been introduced into
the Cincinnati Board Of Education to
discharge all married women now teach
ing in the public schools Of that city.
The resolution presumably makes married
women ineligible to future appointment.
Whether this resolution is in the intrest
Of the unmarried ladies Of Cincinnati or
in the interest OF the schools is q matter
upon which will be division Of opinion.
The married ladies will probably take
the affirmative and the single ones the
negative. The assumption in such cases
is that married ladies have other duties
than teaching, which, TO an extent, affect
their efficiency as teachers. Most OF
them have home TO look after even il
they do not perform the drudgery OF
housekeeping. Unmarried ladies will In
most cases live at home or board. II
the teacher is one Of several sisters the
care Of the home will naturally fall
upon the sisters. There are obvious
reasons why young wives should not
undertake the duties OF school teaching,
but these do not apply to the middle. aged
married lady who may be compelled to
do some kind Of work 10 keep her family
together and educate her children.
Married women between the ages Of 35
and so are the most efficient teachers in
this city, especially in the primary
grades.-S. F. Call.

case of George Rice agsi INST the Southern
Pacific Railway company, the Union Pa.

others, in reference to the rates on pc, ro-

railway lines, and maintains the position
that under the act to regulate commerce
they nave right to make lower rates at

ton of the water lines, without reducing

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 2S.-In the an.
nual report of the operations of his
bureau Indian Commissioner Morgan
says there are twelve training schools
now in operation. with an average at
tendance of ISIS out of an enrolment of
ala. There are sixty-three government
boarding schools for Indians on the reser-
vations, which need better eauipment

tended with. lie opposes the permitting

The Indian Millennium Craze.
The commissioner has received reports
from the Standing Rock agency in South
Dakota indicating that the Indian mil
iennium' craze is increasing among the
Sioux Indians. Great excitement over
the matter prevails among the Sitting
Bull faction of the Sioux, who are anx-
iousiy and confidently awaiting the COM
ing of the millennium next spring. Agent
Mclaughlin in a long report TO the de-
partment on the subject says the super
stitious notion comes from the more
southern Sioux and is doubtless the same
craze that has been agitating the Sho-
shones iii Wyoming and the Cheyennes
and Arapahoes in the Indian Territory.
Misguided White woman's Work.
Sitting Bull appears to be high priest
and thee latest apostle of this Indian alb
surdity. Sitting Bulls influence as d is
tnrbing element seems to have increased
during the last year, and this is partly ac-
counted for, the agent thinks, by the
presence of woman from Brookly Mrs.
{. Weldon, who went to the agency in
June, 1889. announcing herself as MEM
Der Of DR. BANDS society. She has Law
ished numerous and costly gifts upon

THE CENSUS OF NEW YORK CITY.
Secretary Noble Refu to Make a Re.
count on the EVIDENCE Before Him


Secretary Noble Refu ses to Make a Re-
count on the Evidence Before Him
WAsHINGrON CITY, Oct. 2S-Secretary
Noble has replied to Mayor Grants de-
mand thnt n new census be taken of New
York city. In his reply the secretary
generally indoPses the letter of Acting
Superintendent Childs to the mayor and
says that the latter, instead of sending the
proofs upon which he bases his claim to
recount, merely reiterates his claim that
said recount was supervised By a govern
ment agent Mr. Olcott This Secretary
Noble denies. and says that Mr. O!cutt did
not have the power to supervise, and if he
had possessed such power, had no oppor-
tunity to exercise it, as the mayor formu-
lated the scheme of recounting, had the
blanks printed, and gave out hisinstruc-
lions without word of consultation with
Mr.. Olcott, who, as q matter of fact only
occupied post of observation
Does Not Necessarily Follow.
Secretary Noble says that the mayor
seems to think that merely because on
census taken by the New York authorities
from Sept. 20 TO Oct. IA it appears that
greater result has been found than was
found by the United States census taken
in June, therefore the June census was
unquestiOnably insufficient and unrelia-
when taken, aud Il remuneration should
be made. lt is to be observed that tue
law required the census TO be taken in
such cities rs New York within two weeks
from the first Monday in June. and of
all the country before the first day of July
last This,was done, and so well done
that the other great cities have been as a
class content. If the season for taking
the census is to be changed they would
no doubt, however, prefer 10 participa
in any advantages TO be gained
Gotham In June and October
In closing his letter Secretary Noble
says that it Is a matter of common OBJ
servation that many thousands of the
people of the city of New York give up
their abOdes in June of each year for va
cation or recreation abroad or in the sur.
rounding country, and many thousands
more go to service with them or seek en-
ployment elsewhere, but most of them
take up residence in the city again in
the fall. In conclusion the secretary SAWS
that the United States census has been
taken at vast expense and the enumera-
ton of the whole people is about to be
announced. The United States enumera-
tors of New York were its citizens and
deeply interested in its progress and dis
tinction. They were intelligent, educa ted
and industrious. They were paid all the
law allowed and there il no reason why
their work should not have been done

Gest DodgIBg the Truth TO Avoid an

The Union is slill trying to make the

the opening of the bridge to the people.
1t might as well give up that hopeless
task. The facts have sll been given to
the public. aud the only thing the U,ato1t
or Gest can do is to deny them, without
any foundation for the denial. Captain
Robinson's letter and other correspond
ence in relation TO the matter have been
published in the ARGUS Gest answered
u letter by saying that no change would
be made without himself getting notice.
That is, the bridge would still be kept
closed against the people until he had no.

change intended. rs Captain Robinson
was bounding on Gest to have the bridge
remain as it was-Closed to the public,

is down in the district about the affair,

never did or said anything towards

seems to bear upon the point, but does
not. II he were questioned about this
letter afterwards he might tru,bfully say
that he did not close the bridge

he stated What the people are
finding fault with is not that
he closed the bridge or made it tol.
bridge. but that when he found it closed
and toll exacted that be did not have
it opened and the toll abolished, particu,
lsrly as he had been repeatedly urged to
do so. He says Captain Robinson asked
him to see the war Office to get him
(Robinsou) a chance 10 be heard before
changing orders as TO the use of the
bridge II the linton was right that the
bridge wa not closed 10 the people what
is Gest talking about! Either the Union
lies or Gest lies. The fact is they both
lie. They are both trying to wiggle
through the same little hole. but the
hole Is too small to admit of either of
them. Aud in Gest's letter, after thus
getting rid of a disagreeable question by
not answering 1t, he wanders off about
the rights OF American citizens to be
