A DAILY NAIL.

The TINES is again urged to
ag'tate the subject of getting daily
mail over the Wood River Branch
railroad. The mail handled on that
road accommodates the people OF a
part of one county, and OF all of a,
leas. three other counties--or q terri
tory as large as three New England
States; yet some portions of that vast
territory only get weekly mail,
while none of it gets daily service.
If the facts were properly stated,
and Endorsed by the Boards Of Trade
OF Bellevue, Ketchum, and HALEY,
and by the business men, the miners,
and the ranchers who would DO bene-
fitted by daily mail, and these docu.
ments forwarded to Senator Shoup,
we have no doubt that the desired re>
suit would be obtained.

But only very small portion Of the
resulting sum, if the tax is voted,
will be used for this school year. The

THE DANGER THREATENING OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

FODAlC d HOVAOs
The grossly unjust apportionment
Of the school fund prescribed by the
last Legislature may work grave
injury to the public school system OF
the State.
Under the law as it stands the large
districts are taxed heavily for the
benefit Of the small ones. They
already were under the OLD law, when
district with only 10 pupils on the
census roll drew as much from one
half Of the school fund as a district
with so pupils on the census roll.
But und er the new law this dispro-
portion is SO augmented that, as the
TIMES has already shown, q small
district is likely to get as much as SO
per school child out OF the fund, while
such large district as HALEY will
draw only about Is cents per school
child.
Such a great dlsproportion is no,
likel! te strike the average citizen as
fair, no matter from what standpoint
he may view the case. The result
will be change in the school law
which may 60 SO far as to divide the
funds equally per school child. with
out regard to the number in the dis
tricts.
II this is done the result must BE-
that the schools in the smaller districts
will not be kept open for more than
three months in the year, unless the
taxpayers Of those districts levy bur
densome special taxes.
If this comes to pass we will see
the same state of affairs here as pre-.
vailed SO long aud still prevails in
many Eastern States, where the pub
lie schools are not kept open an aver
age of three calendar months per year.

ALMOsr A DECLARATION OF WAR

ALMOST A DECLARATION OF WAR.
The Italian government has seized
IS Americans living in Florence and
will hold them as hostages to obtain
reparation for the killing OF the Malta
conspira,ers in New Orleans. It has
also recalled its minister to Washing
ton.
This amounts to . declaration Of
war. The matter has therefore al.
most pissed beyond the diplomatic
stage, and we greatly mistake tho
temper Of the people of the United
States it they do not welcome this
unseemly haste Of the little Italian
despot rs not reR'ettable opportunity
TO chastise another Of the worlds op.
pressors.
ltaly's ,ron-clsd navy is superior to
ours; but with the accessions which
could be obtained from our merchant
marine and from purchases abroad
that our superior credit could enable
Us to make we could, in 80 days, have
a fleet sufficiently powerful to sink
the very last Italian man-of- war.
ltaly's action will therefore have no
fear for US. But the ministers of the
King of Italy must have been greatly
in need OF a cause of agitation-of
popularity-when they adopted such
a senseless course as that reported.

The Gas Company Pays Damages.

In the case of Gertrude M. McNeal
against the Boston Gas Light company,
which has been on trial in the second
session of the superior court, and in
which the plaintiff claimed $4,000 for
personal injuries, a jury awarded her
damages in the sum of $4,000. Miss Nc
Neal was employed in store, and an en-
ploye of the company, in testing me-
ter, left a trap door open, through which
Miss McNeal fell. Her injuries are of a
permanent nature, as testified to by sew
eral well known physicians, and the
defense, while not attempting to contra
dict that evidence, claimed that the sur
roundings of the plaintiff were not of
that quiet nature which person in her
condition ought to have. Before the
trial began an offer of $1,000 was made
by the defendantin settlement. Boston
