SENATOR HILLS SEAT.

There is no truth in the report
that the republicans intend to ex-
clude Governor Hill from the SEN
ate. We do not understand what
difference it could make between
Governor Hill taking his seat on the
assembling of congress and, say a
month later, when his term as gov
ernor shall have expired. There is
neither precedent nor reason for
taking such step as is attributed to
the republicans. >.
There was q case where the SEN
ate decided that senator forfeited
his seat in accepting an Office after
he had taken his seat as senator.
That, however, was an act subse-
quent. In Governor Hills case the
senate does not know officially that
he is elected a member Of that body,
for his credentials as senator-elect
have not teen issued, and until the
senate is officially informed it il
powerless to act. The legislature Of
the state of New York is the only
body that can take cognizance of the
matter, as it is the only organiza
ton having official knowledge of the
governors election.

The population Of Leon county is
shown by the census Of 1890 to be /. 910

Let the children do this from patriotic

During the present school year let each
teacher prepare questions based upon the
