TILE Jew SCHOOL Law.

The Reno Journal prints the law passed
BY the last Legislature in reference to
the election Of School Trustees, and COM
ments thereon as follows;
Lawyers say the Legislature must
have been helpIessly ~hypnotized when II
passed the Act. One section says an cleo
ton SHALL be held in each school district
in the State on the fourth Monday in
May, 1892, while another as imperatively
declares that in counties having a certain
voting population an election for School
Trustees shall be held on the fourth Mon
day in May, 1891. and every two years
thereafter. As both claims are manda-
tory, and one conflicts with the other,
it remains for the courts to say what they
think the lawmakers mean.
Another clause Of the Act provides
that at the election to be held in May,
1894, there shall be elected in each School
District, having a voting population Of
l,5OO or over at the last general election,
two Trustees for four years, and one for
two years, and the Trustees elected to
serve for four years shall take office on
the first Monday in January, 1895, and
those elected to serve two years shall
take Office on the fourth Monday in jan
uary, 1898. In plain English, School
Trustees elected on the fourth Monday
in May, 1894, are to take office just seven
months before they are elected.
"The Act, too, it will be observed,
wholly and utterly ignores the Secret
Ballot law, which makes it the duty OF
the County Clerk to provide printed bal
lots for every election for public offices
in which any voters within the county
participate.
"Taken altogether, the Act is q Curl
osity, and it would be interesting to
know the mental condition Of the bosses
who Influenced the majority Of the
solons when they passed it.
"The object Of the Act was doubtless
to separate school elections from political
elections, but the Legislature mixed and
muddled the matter until it is simply
ridicnlous."

COINAGE

The coinage Of standard silver dollars
authorized by the Act OF 1878 has been
discontinued. That is the order OF the
Treasury Department. 1t is unnecessary
10 ask what the real friends Of silver think
about it, but the pretended friends of the
metal will, of course, endeavor TO make
il appear that il Is good for the country.
The above paragraph is from the Reno
Journal. We have not seen the order OF
suspension, but the Journal must be cor.
rect in what it says about it. The COM
modify law Of last year provides for the
suspension Of the coinage Of standard
dollars after July LIST. We do not know
by what authority their coinage is inter.
dicted before that date. But then we
must not forget that Bill Stewart and all
the rest of the &. o. p. said that the com.
modify law was a great deal better than
free coinage, and q majority Of the people
Of Nevada Endorsed that view Of the case.
The people Of Nevada have no moral
right to complain. They are merely get
ting Q dose Of their own medicine.

THE ONO

Ohio 10 10 have avery exciting election
this Fall. There will be elected full
State ticket, including . Legislature that
will name the successor Of Senator Sher.
man. The Farmers Alliance, 5000
strong, are preparing to take an active
part in the contest. They are determis-
eddy opposed 10 another election OF John
Sherman, because Of his attitude on silver
and the tariff and other important public
questions. They say they will have no
more Of him. We Of the West should
hope them success. But the result Is ex'
tremely doubtful. John Sherman has
become several times q millionaire BY
speculatine of the misfortunes OF the
people and knows how TO put money
where il will do the most good in an cleo
tion. And besides every railroad and
other powerful corporation in the State
will be for him. Bat the Democratic
Legislature and Democratic Governor
Campbell have just passed the Australian
ballot law for Ohio. That fact thows an
unknown quantity into the election.
II is generally conceded that Mckin-
ley will be the Republican nominee for
Governor. II elected be hopes to be
well nigh indispensable as = Presidential
candidate. Governor Campbell is ex-
pected to be nominated for reelection
against him. And il Campbell should
carry the Republican State Of Ohio q
second time for Governor, what then'
Would he not become about the hkeliest
Presidential possibility in the whole list
With Mckinley and Campbell and Sher'
man all involved in the result. the Ohio
election this Fall will possess enough in
terest for everybody to be curious about
Che outcome.

THAT e. TEN.

The New York Herald says: 1t is in.
teresting at this j~uncture TO recall mi
incident in the weird and CHASTITY career
of Jack the Ripper. On the last day Of
September, 1883, when he had accom-
plished his fourth crime, and all London
was wild with excitement and fury, be
wrote on the shutter Of an adjoining
house these words of warning and def
ance: al have murdered four, and will
murder sixteen more before l surrender
myself to the police" Here was a bold
challenge to the detectives to find his
hiding place and an insolent prophecy
that he could not be discovered, but
would have to make himself known when
bis strange task was completed. What
a monstrosity he must be ! He has al
ready killed nine in London, and if this
last murder in New York is his work,
then he is just half way to the end Of his
journey. The mans make up is simply
astounding. The most lurid imagination
can hardly conceive of such a creature.
He is the devil in~carnate, gloating over
deeds from which his fellows recoil, and
Boosting that he is beyond the reach Of
possible detection. Hanging is to good
for the seoundrel.

The melancholy collapse Of the colony
at Karreah, Cal, teaches q timely and
useful lesson in the matter Of social re-
form. The colony was organized accord.
ing to the theory advanced BY Mr.. Bel
lamy, and the world was asked to gaze
upon it as a practical example OF the
blessings to be secured by enforcing the
views of that peculiar philosopher. Their
faith was beautiful, but when they came
to apply it they encountered difficulties
which they had not anticipated. They
found, to their dismay and modification,
that they had miscalculated their cApa'
city for uns~elishness, and their power to
adjust refractory conditions to the de-
mands Of their experiment. The men
placed in authority behaved very much
as men behave everywhere when invested
with arbitrary functions.

decided favor of antiquity about this
place that was refreshing. Half-ruined

The Canadians 10 aud out Of Parliament
are working up = great deal Of bad blood
upon the question Of annexation without,
il seems, considering that il always takes
two parties 10 IN annexation scheme.
Perhaps there are men farseeing enough
to discover the future and see the begin
ming Of the federation Of this Western
world, but when il comes to Canada, the
vision Of . continental union generally
vanishes. In Canada we would have two
slices of Europe literally grated upon
our national flesh. The French and Eng
lish in the British-American provinces
are Just as French and English as ii they
had never crossed the ocean. They can
not or will not assimilste, and are not
held under one governmental control be-
cause they love each other. They have
their habits preserved religiously from q
long line Of ancestry. their customs and
their set ideas Of life. We passed the
Mckinley bill largely to avoid COMPETE
ton with their underpaid toilers. Cana
dian statesmen are ~endeavoring to partly
neutralize the law by appealing for reci-
procity. 1t is not clear how the Repub-
lie could profit by absorbing Canada any
more than by annexing France and Eng
land. There is little or nothing in com
mon between the Canadians and Ameri.
cans, and il the former were admitted to
our household, it would be q century
before we could get on cordial speaking
terms. It is hard to realize the difference
between the people Of the provinces and
the United States, though the separation
is through so unsubstantial q thing as 8
boundary line. Nowhere is this differ
enee more clearly shown than on the Pa
ci6c Coast. The city Of Victoria is hardly
more like one of the thrifty, rafting pro.
gressive towns across the border in Wash.

cathedral. The gentlemen OF Victoria

glasses and %ruffles, and all the people are
along the dull, lethargic lines Of
their ancestry. They open their stores
for business along about 10 o'clock Of
mornings, and close them whenever their
personal convenience suggests. These
Little idiosyncrscies are only incidents
that go to show the marvellous difference
between the two peoples. II Canada
really desires annexation, II is not be-
cause of any sentiment or affinity, but
squsrely because she sees that she is not
in the race of progress, and would like
to share a little Of our mstchless national
prosperity. Sacramento Bee.

GOLD BASIS,

Why, says the National View, contend
for this when 1t is well known there is
rot gold enough in the world to furnish
a gold money basis system? And what
does such a system do? 1t makes harder
times for the poor and better times for
the rich. And 80, what else can you ex.
pect from the rich Wall street money
manipulators but opposition to any en-
Iargement Of the money basis. But this
fact should cause the industrial people TO
keep a sharp lookout for them, as well as
to question their representatives on all
matters connected with the financial sit
uation and the adoption Of the bi-metal-
lie standard.
Cold basis, indeed. 1t is all bosh, and
it should have no influence in arriving at
a PRACTICAL solution of this subject. Sill
yer is as good as gold, and gold is as good
as silver, and both together, united, form
q good basis for a common standard to
represent bi-metallism and the dollar,
unit of value, for money in this or any
other country.
Our standard Of value in u money
system is a simple, practicable and sen
sible conclusion, which comes home to
the intelligence and good sense Of all
fair.minded, clesr-headed men. There
fore, inasmuch as silver money is already
~intrenched in the financial systems of the
world, there is no other solution Of the
money problem, as we find it involved in
"gold and silver" but to adopt the bi-
metallic standard. and upon this con.
struct the currency Of the country. Then
we nave consistency. Conference. stability
and permanence.
