Public School Library Day.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1891, has been
designated by State Superintendent Wolfe as
LIBRARY DAY. On that day he hopes and
expects that every school district in the State
will make an effort to raise at least a small
library fund. The advantages of having
placed in the hands of our children some
choice literature suited to their age and ca
pacity, is too well known and too generally
acknowledged to need discussion in this arti-
Gle. And as Mr.. Wolfe has well said "there
are some things that can be done by the peo-
pie without State or national aid, and they
will be all the better for it, The closer we
keep the management of our public school
system to the people whom it is intended to
benefit, the more independent will the future
citizen be; and just in proportion as we man.
age own affairs wisely and properly, will
the need of legislation be diminished. The
public school can not hope to make finished
scholars of our children, but we do owe it to
the rising generation to place in their hands
the means of self improvement; and there is
no better means of correctly forming the char
acter of children than to acGuaint them with
good books, and thus create in them such an
Unsuitable thirst for reading as will insure a
continued healthy growth even after they shall
have passed from under the influence of the
school and teacher. Books were never so
cheap as they are now, and Supt. Wolfe has
perfected arrangements with publishers by
which a number of small libraries of choice
books are to be put up in lock case and sold
to districts at greatly reduced prices. These
books are to be selected by the best and most
experienced teachers of the State, after care
full examination, and will be chosen for their
merit alone. These libraries will be num-
bered or graded as, 1, 2, 3, 4, and will cost
about Sl2 each, and any teacher who has the
confidence of the patrons and the good of the
community at heart, can, with little effort and
the assistance of the pupils, raise sufficient
funds to purchase at least one of these Ii
braries the first year, and others can be add
ed from time to time. Now let us go to
work, by means of subscription or otherwise
you may get up an entertainment, or adopt
any plan that suggests itself to you-and
show that Iron County can do as well if not
better than any of her sister counties. will
expect every teacher in the county to give
this matter personal attention and fail not.
/ earnestly commend the enterprise to par

the case from the editor of this paper
in 1878, and a brighter boy we never
had under our care. He was honest,
industrious and faithful and his CRATE

Circuit court convenes next Monday with
the smallest docket known for several years,
there being a total OF only IA criminal cases
aud Al civil cases. Quite number of these
ciseS are continued ones and others are here
on changes of venue. Such a small docket
speaks well for Ripley county. and is con-
elusive proof that her people are iaw-abid-

among themselves without the aid of the

affairs, and the fact that the criminal docket
is no larger is no doubt largely due to the
fact that Ripley county has been without a
saloon for several years until recently

Tie Prospect for November.

With the election close at hand,
Democrats are confident East and
West. In Ohio, though the Republi-
cans have collected and are using a
large campaign fund, Governor Camp
bell has gained steadily since he made
his opening speech. His joint deba e
with Mckinley put the latter at a
great disadvantage, from which he has
not recovered, In Iowa the Democrats
have in Governor Boies leader of
great ability and courage, whose
speeches throughout the campaign
have attracted and held great crowds,
while the Republicans, after nominal
ing their obscure candidate, have been
COMPOUNDED by the discovery that he
cannot discuss the issues of the day at
all, and they have not mended mat
tiers by putting forward Senator ALI
son as his proxy.
In New York all elements of the
Democratic party are united on Mr..
Flower, and his election is confidently
expected, while in Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts the Democratic CAM
paign has been aggressive throughout.
After such political convulsion as
that of last Noxember there is neces
sarily great uncertainty in politics.
AS far as can be seen that result was
due TO Republican farmers voting with
the Democrats and to Republican mer-
chants either voting the Democratic
ticket or not voting at all. The COM
mercial element throughout the coun-
try, from the cross roads store to the
great jobbng houses, certainly antag
onized the Repu blican party last year.
How much reaction there will be from
this situation it is, of course, impossi-
BILE to tell until the votes are counted,
but the Democrats have every reason
to believe that if they 60 to the polls
and vote their party strength the re-
suit will be reaffirmation of the yer
dict already given against Mckinley
bills, Force bills and Billion-DOllar
raids on the Treasury

Hillsboro Democrat: ''If this conn
try were the only one in the world,
where manufactured products have
been cheapened in the last fifty years,
there would be some weight attached
to the Republican claim, that the
cheapening of prices has been the re-
suit of the protective policy. The fact
is, though, notwithstanding our boast
ed greatness and the acknowledged
intellectually of the American people
we have not led in the inven ton of
labor saving machinery. In all the
sciences and arts the citizens of the
old countries have kept ARREST, if not
ahead, of US; and while many things
are made here now cheaper than they
used to be, the same articles are made
better and cheaper in Europe. Pro-
tectionists acknowledge this fact ev-
cry time they appeal for taxation to
protect them from ruinous competi-
ton with foreigners"
