School supl,e!r!v,sio!n.i.. u.

The time is fast approaching: when
the voters Of Fall River county Will be
called upon to elect a County Superin-
tendent Of Schools. This office is one
of the most important, il mot the madst
important of any county Office, though
unfortunately it has usually, under
the regime of the politician been
farmed out where it would do the most
good to the balance of the ticket. We
have often wondered why this is SO.
Our people will vote heavy school taxes,
in fact the school tax is frequently IS
much as all the other taxes combined,
and yet when it comes to the election.
of a County Superintendent Of
Schools, it is given very little at
tention; yet this office practically.
controls and directs the expenditure
of the major portion Of the school
funds. 1t may be asked how he con-
trolls the expenditure Of school funds.
The major portion Of school funds goes
70 the payment of teachers. These
persons the county superintendent au-
thorizes to teach by certificate given
over his hand. The people are at tho
mercy of the county superintendent in
the matter of teachers. The only evi-
dence q district has of the qualifications
Of a person applying for a position as
teacher, is the certificate he bears from
the county superintendent. The con-
tract made with him is binding, if he
be utterly incompetent. A multitude
of points can be raised showing the in
fuence the county superintendent has
in the control Of school matters and
expenditure of school funds. Consld-
ering in that connection also The inn
portant bearing school has upon a
commonwealth, is it not important
that the matter Of county superin-
tendent be given at least some atten-
tion. The very hest man IN the county
should be selected for that position.
In the light Of these facts will the
republicans Of this county hold q coun-
ty convention at which it is to he
hoped that capable man shall be
nominated and subsequently elected, or
shall we maintain an Indifferent atti-
tude upon this question and let it be a
free pitch in for all? A republican
convention called for the purpose Of
selecting candidate for county super
intendent Of schools would name q
man that could command the support
of the people. In recent interview
with the chairman Of the republican
central committee, w. l.. Judkins,
that gentleman expressed doubt as to
the best course to be pursued by the
central committee, whether to call q
convention or NOT. He would esteem
it a favor if republicans Of the county,
would either personally or by mail
give him their views upon this matter
for the guidance Of the central COM
mittee. The STAR favors a convention.
We believe that the office is Of that
vast importance to the commonwealth
and the nation, that If upon any ques-
ton the united wisdom of the people is
necessary, it is in this matter.

The new educational bill has been
submitted to the legislature, and there
is considerable fol de rol about it. 1t
would seem that past experience might
be some guide to present proposed leg
islation upon school matters, but such
is not the case. For the past ten
years nearly every legislature has been
presented with bill that was declared
to be the very cream of perfection, but
each succeeding legislature has only
succeeded in mixing matters worse
than they were before. There is too
much machinery about it. 1t provides
for an infinite number of educational
factors that never can be made practi-
cal, and will only be source of vexa-
tion. If the legislature will enact the
old district system it would be the wis
est of legislation. The district system
is more democratic-not IN partisan
sense-brings schools and school mat
ters closer to the people, thereby Great
ing in the public mind a greater inter-
est in educational affairs. If this
township system is such u fine thing,
why. have not all the counties in the
territory adopted it? Simply because
tile district system is the best. The
district system is more deeply en-
trenched in public favor, in those
counties that know anything about it,
than ever before. The township sys-
tenn is too cumbersome, too elaborate,
too distant from the PEOPLE to he the
correct plan.

Speaker Reed, of the House of Rep
rcsentatives, is conducting himself in a
way extremely distasteful TO the demo.
Gratis of that body. Whether or not
the speaker is somewhat arbitrary in
his rulings the STAR cannot say; but
we are willing to grant to Mr.. Reed
honesty of purpose in that he is earn
estly striving to have the house do
something, and in this purpose he will
be warmly supported by the people.
To an observer of national affairs it
looks as though congress had long since
ceased to be an assemblage of repre-
sentative men gathered for the pur-
pose of enacting just and wise laws for
the control and direction of conduct:
but has rather become rendezvous for
politicians whose only purpose is to
make themselves and their party solid
with the people. Dilatory and friyo.
lous motions are made by the party in
| tne minority Tor the sole and only pur.
pose Of hindering the transaction Of
business. Let the majority rule is the
true principle, whether that majority
be democratic or republican, and lei
that majority be held responsible for
results. By this means only can the
people judge whom to trust. If speak
er Reed will succeed in getting some.
thing done, a grateful people will rise
up and call him blessed. If the repub.
lican party fails to guard wisely the
trust reposed in it by the people, by
electing q majority to the house, let the
republican party be held responsible
Tor the failure; bnt let us have some.
thins done.

The Pierre Free Press. in an cAtend-
ed article maintains that the impress
sion entertained by many that money
appropriated by the legislature can
only be used for the purpose for which
it was appropriated and no other, is
erroneous. In the main the Free Press
is right. Unused balances can un-
doubtedly he covered into the gen.
eral fund, where there are no con-
tracts existing that by their terms will
demand the whole of the appropria-
tion, and where the money was appro-
priated from the general fund; but
where the money was raised from the
sale Of bonds authorized for specific
purpose, the rule is different. If the
Free Press had any reference to the
money raised for the construction of
the Soldiers Home at this place, it was
clearly wrong. The Fundamental and
underlying principle upon which this
assertion is made is that constitutional
provision universally recognized that
no law shall he enacted that will i'm.
pair contracts. The state made con.
tract through its duly appointed
agents, if We may use that term, the
trustees of the Soldiers Home, with
the contractors on the Soldiers Home
for the erection of that building. Does
the Free Press contend that the lecis.
lature now has the right to turn over
to the general state fund the money
raised and appropriated for this specific
purpose, which action will wholly put
the state into position that it canno,
perform its part of the contract? II
this IS maintained by the Press, the
Press is certainly erring. The none,
raised by the bonds voted for the cree
tion of this building can only be usec
for that purpose.

INDIANS NOT SHUT OUT.
They Played = Very Good Game Of
Ball Yesterday After
noon.
Poor Fielding BY tho Athletics
Favored the Mem from
Wyoming.
The Game the Last Of the seriss-Chey-
snnes Leave To-Day-A Game
with Butte.

They were not shut out
The Athletics did not shut out the In
dams yesterday % announced. although
they made strong effort to put 8 goose
eggs in the score book for the Cheyennes.
Barker was put in the box, but owing to
his laus arm be went to center and keas
did the twizling. There was good deal Of
interest shown in the shutting out act, and
Ut first it seemed - though IL would b an
other Great Falls game With . SCORE OF
about u TO 0. The crowd was disappointed.
Tho Indians did some very good work IN
the 18th, and brought four mon over the
plate, through the stick work Of Brady, a.
sisted BY some poor fielding BY the Athlet-
ics. Hubbard fumbled the ball . good deal
and had four errors charged to him. There
was some kicking early in the game ut Con
ley's decisions, and Mann put Caplinger on
the diamond a. second umpire. After this
the two umpirss gave good satisfaction,
and the game went along smoo thly. Tut
disappointed the crowd in missing
. high hy which he misjudged.
He has only three errors against him 90
After scoring their four runs in the fifth
tho Indians let up in their struggle for any
more and appeared to be satisfied with
what they had, combining their efforts to
holding down the score Of the Athletics,
which they did in good style. It was sur
prise to good many to SEQ Taylor, the
darkey, fan ont on Barker's delivery. He
il ono Of the best batters in the Cheyenne
team and always secures round Of ap-
plause whom he steps up to the plate.
Every man in the visiting team. Mann
especially, considering the condition Of his
arm, played good ball. This vas no doubt
due to the announcement made that an at
tempt would be made to shut them out and
which had the effect of putting them on
their mettle. Little Erswell, who holds
down the third bag for the Indians. was in
good humor yesterday and did not bother
the umpires. The Cheyennes will leave
here this morning for Wyoming, but may
stop at Salt Lake for few days, if ar
rangements can be made to play there.
There will probably not be another game
until next Sunday, whom it il expected that
the annual struggle between Butte and Hell
ena will take place. Joe Moffett, of the
Butte team, has been here for the past few
days, being regular visitor at the ball
grounds every afternoon. He is something
Of ball player himself, and has been get
ting pointers on the Athletics. Manager
Muth is now endeavoring to close deal to
have the nine from the Smoky City come
here. The old rivalry crops out every sea-
son when the teams Of Butte and Helena
meet on the diamond. Should the team
from over the range cross bats with the
Athletics next Sunday, there will be great
game of ball.
