The Salt Lake Tribune says: Doubt
less the Indian wal will go on; doubtless
some bands Of savages will be extermi-
mated and many brave soldiers killed.
Still there must have been grave mis-
takes somewhere. No one who knows
anything about Indians will believe that
they, of their own accord, planned q
war to begin in Northern Dakota in De-
cember. An Indian wants the grass to be
growing and the sun to be shining when
he goes on the warpath. What may be
necessary to do now it Is unnecessary to
discuss, but there is no sensible man
who does not know that had there been
capable Indian agents and sufficient food
for the poor wretches there would have
been no Indian war this Winter. When
it shall be done we hope that Congress
will turn over the whole Indian business
to the army. There have been trials
enough by the Interior Department, and
incompetency enough displayed.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONvEN N.

The people Of Nevada, with the ex
ception of the henchmen of . few cor
porations, declared themselves in con
~ventions and at the polls in favor Of
Constitutional Convention. The Re
publican State Convention simply d.
rected the attention Of voters to the
question, but did not recommend them
to vote for or against it. The county
conventions of that party. which were
not g. much under the control Of those
who fear the revision of the constitution
will reduce their power and their profits,
i--a-ad the convention and so declared
in their platforms. The Democratic
State Convention emphstically favored q
thorough revision Of the constitution as
did also the county convention of that
party, and the returns indicate that o
majority Of all the votes polled were
votes for the convention, notwithstand.
ing which, unless the Legislature inter
venes, the constitution will not be re-
vised.
As above stated the people generally
concede the necessity Of revising the
fundamental law of the State. Our con.
stitutjon was framed to meet the re-
q~uirements Of q State with millions Of
inhabitants instead of o commonwealth
with less than forty thousand white
people, and not to exceed S25, 900, 900 OF
taxable property. Offices necessary in
~populous and wealthy States and pro-
vidsd for in our constitution should be
dispensed with as useless and expensive
luxuries, Jul that cannot be accom-.
plished by legislation where the consti-
tuition provides for them. The legisla.
tive sessions should beilimited to 80 days
and the membership reduced one-half.
This can be accomplished under the
present constitution, providing the Leg
islature is willing, but it is probable that
the law.makers.elect will not act much
different from their predecessors.
The simple plain method of revising
the constitution to meet our require
ments is to obey the behests Of the peo-
pie by holding a Constitutional Conven-
tion. It need not be expensive, as cspa-
BILE men will serve for their actual ex.
penses, and il should not be partisan as
it concerns every resident and taxpayer
of the State. Provision could be made
for submitting the work Of the conven.
ton to the people immediately after the
instrument is framed and many of lite
provisions could 60 into effect within q
year, all ct Q cost not to exceed that Of
an ordinary session of the Legislature.-

sCHooL sUPERINTENDENCY.

The enterprise, prosperity and happi-
piness of any country depends upon the
education Of her people; hence the edu-
c~ational interests OF the State should be
fcstered by every means which will lead
to that end. A competent and faithful
Superintendent Of Schools is an import.
ant factor in promoting proper education.
and for this reason we are opposed to the
adjustment of that Office or its CONSOLE
dation with that Of District Attorney.
There is such q thing as misery econo-
my, and such, in our judgment, would
be the saving Of q few dollars at the ex-
pense of the educational interests OF the
Stare. Inere Is no tax wnicu an enter
prising, high-minded citizen will pay
more cheerfully than q tax for school
purposes, and nothing should be left I'M
done which will conduce to the educa-
ton Of our children.
We have no children to send to school,
not o child to educate; but we would
hail with delight a raise in the school
tax sufficient t~o'provide an ample fund to
run every school in the county ten
months in the year with competent and
we'll paid teachers. under the superinten-
| dency of an honest, industrious and com.
petent County Superintendent at q sal
airy Of $3.50 q month. We do not believe
it would be economy to permit our chill
dren to grow up in ignorance simply to
save what their education would cost in
| dollars and cents.
II economy consists in saving expenses
without regard to consequences, why not
dispense with the expensive school sys'
tenn entirely Change the Constitution
so that the revenues from the State
School Fund can be applied to the pay
ment Of the salaries OF NECESSARY State
officers, and thus reduce the tax levy for
State purposes. Dispense with the levy
Of thirty.five cents in this county for
school purposes. and shut up the school
houses. By this means see how many
thousands Of dollars would be saved an.
nually to the pockets OF the t~ax-ridden
people Of Nevada i-Elko Independent.

The proposition brought forward in
England to abolish the right of action in
breach of promise cases-except when
the plaintiff shows actual pecuniary loss
does not commend itself to any liberal
or fair mind. While il would cut Of
men from this remedy it is aimed at
women, since such actions are brought
chiefly by them. 1t is true that cases oil
this kind sometimes SAVIOR Of q nuisance
or an abuse. But ~oftener they present
an aggrieved woman seeking the only
redress open to her for an injury. A
marital engagement is an agreement.
Why should not its breach be actionable
as well as the breach Of o mercantile
agreement English law has never
looked with any special favor upon
women. There was a time when a wife
had scarcely any legal rights. and she
has not yet wholly emerged from that
state of injustice. American law ID
more just, more humane to woman. The
English proposition would meet with
little favor in this country.

Duh PUBLIC CHOOIs.

The San Francisco Chronicle has the
following sensible suggestions in regard
to public school reforms:
School Superintendent Anderson, in
his annusi report which was published,
makes some very wise suggestions and
points out some very Caring evils.
Complaint" he says, sis frequ.-.Iy
heard to the effect that our courses Of
study contain more than can be rightly
accomplished in the time allotted. We
think the ground for such complaint ex-
lists. The studies prosecuted in our pub.
lie schools are becoming too numerous,
and the manifest tendency must be lack
Of thoroughness."
Continuing, Professor Anderson says:
"Another evil exists in our schools. II
10 the compelling Of pupils to prosecute
all the studies comprised in the course,
whether such pupil possesses any natu-
raj aptitude for the particular study or
not. We think there should be more Of
the eclectic in our schools. Many pu-
pills have not the time to spare for the
prosecution Of the entire course. Many
are unable to prosecute it, even though
they had the time. Such pupils should
be permitted to select, under the guild
ancs Of teachers and parents. such stud
les as they most need in fitting them for
the active duties Of life. Were the time
which many Of our pupils spend in some
Of the non-essential studies appropri-
ated to the essential the pupils and the
schools would be benefited"
This is all good sound sense SO far as
it goes, but we would like to have had
Professor Anderson take another step in
the direction of school reform and say Q
word about the methods employed by
teachers in primary grades where chill
dren are taught all the intricacies Of the
multiplication table before they can read
q sentence correctly in the first reader.
They are also given drawing lessons and
instructed 10 other parlor accomplish
ments before they are taught the 6rst
rudiments Of the English language.
