kick Against Tyranny.

EDITORS HERALD To you as an ac-
lnowledged friend OF right and an enemy
of wrong do we turn, asking that we be
allowed a part Of your valuable paper in
which to state our Indignation for an
outrageous act Of injustice.
Within the past few weeks have been
shown the true arrogance and utter dis
regard of certain person for the rights
of others, and also vividly pictured under
what yoke of tyranny the High school
has been during the past three years
rule of petticoats.
This person securing the endorsement
ola thoroughly intimidated faculty, avery
small number of the High school alum
nj and sickly ,vacillating, favor-dealing
superintendent, has been able to re-
model the High school Star and Crescent
society according to her own individual
wishes and qualification, until we now
have no part or interest in it.
The former constitution under which
the society attained nearer perfection
than ever before was, at one stroke,
shattered, and an unfair, unjustifable
and impracticable one substituted by
this self-established dictatress. We
teel justified in calling it a one-idea,
senseless thing, and in saying that it
was modelled not by the faculty, as
stated, but only by the "head' of that
body.
AS the whole government of France
at one time hung upon Louis XIV's
motto, 81 am the state" so the man
agement of the High school rests upon
Il am the school, .
The 'school" summons us to the
assembly room, reads the newly-made
plan Of tyranny, tells us this is our
Constitution" And then, to pour oil
on the waters, says that owing to their
extreme, overburdensome knowledge
and far-seeing wisdom, the teachers have
deemed it best to give us this unparallel-
ed Notwithstanding thing" A model
constitution Modelled with the sole
intent of giving the direction of our So
ciety to the SCHOOL"
Under the old constitution the teach
ers were only honorary members. When
that instrument was revised, it was
done solely by the scholars. And now
when the last one is to be changed,
who does it?--the School alone.
Does il without our knowledge,

The Ponca Indians.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
GUTHRIE, o. T., June 26-The Ponca
Indian agency and schools are located about
thirty miles south of the north territorial
line. The Poncas, probably, have been
touched as little by civilizations influences
as the Cheyennes or COmanches. The an
nual entertainment of the school occurs
June 30, and Mary E. Craddock, the mat
ron, sends an invitation TO THE GAZETTE
correspondent to come up on that occasion,
and incloses in her letter very pretty pro-
gramme Of the contemplated exercises, by
which we observe that Harry No-Ear
makes the opening address, and Joe Four
Eyes declaims on the advantages of being
polite. Lucy Understanding Buffalo reads
a paper on Moving to the Country" Then
there is to be music and tableaux, charades,
vocal solos and chOruses, etc. Mrs. Grad
dock in her letter says many entertaining
things, few of which we copy, without
permission, as follows:
Aside from the school exercises, the an
nual sun-dance of the Indians begins July
4, lasting four days. 1t is religious cere-
mony with them. They dress in the most
barbaric coStumes-the mems bodies are
nude TO the waist. They paint their back,
breast and arms in all manner of devices
They endeavor to continue dancing inces-
sanity during the four days and nights
without sleep or food. Many of them fall,
and almost die from exhaustion. They be-
ieve that the longer they can endure the
greater favor they find with the great spirit
"Wacuda," God the sun being the visible
emblem.
In times past they used to cut and lac
crate their flesh in the most horrible man
ner, death frequently being the conse-
quence. But that custom is dying out with
increasing civilization.
Also the young braves make it the occa-
sion to ''woo their dusky maids" They en-
velop themselves in white blankets, allow
ing nothing but their eyes to be visible,
sire, casting presents Of bright cloth and
beads, ETC., at their feet during the dance
There are great many curious customs
among the Indians, some of which are al
most impossible to conceive, being sur
rounded and so near civilization as they
are.

Silver Money.

WASHINGTON, June GA regular meet
tng of the cabinet was held to-day, begin
ming at IL O'Clock The absentees were
Secretaries Blaine and Proctor, and Attor-
ney-General Miller. The principal topic of
discussion was the continued coinage of
silver after July l, and the secretary Of the
treasury presented considerable data on the
subject.
After the meeting Secretary Foster made
the following statement in regard TO the sill
yer question: After full and careful con-
sideration of the law relating to the coinage
ii silver, Secretary Foster finds that the
act of March 3, 1891, requires that the sec
retary of the treasury shall as soon as prac-
tcable coin trade dollar bars into silver
dollars. He also finds that $3.50, 000has been
appropriated for The recoinage of subsidiary
silver coin into such denominations rs shall
best serve to give it circulation. There is
constant demand for small coins, principally
simes, which the minis have not been able
70 supply. The secretary of the treasury
has decided that his FIRST duty in this matter
IS 10 obey the direction of congress. Con-
Eress has ordered the coinage of trade dol
lar bars into standard silver dollars. The
coinage of trade-dollar bars in this manner
will transform what cost S5,0S7, 195 into
S,l4S.2sl standard dollars. The secretary
indS that it will require perhaps four
months TO perform the work, therefore the
question of the continued coinage of silver
collars as heretofore is not practical one

GALVESTON SHAKEN.
Twenty-Five Hundred ana Twenty-Five
Kegs of Powder Explode, Startling
the Old Lady by the Sea.
Special to the Gazette.


GALVESTON, Tex, June 26.-About IL
O'Clock this morning during an electrical
storm which passed over the city, bolt of
lightning descended, striking and exploding
the powder house of the American powder
company. containing 1000 kegs of powder.
The shock caused the Hazard & Dupont and
Latin & Rand powder houses to explode,
and the fireworks magazine of Victor Cor
linas. Although these powder maya
zines were located near Eagle Grove, four
miles west of the city, the shock of
the explosion caused houses to- rock and
sway in the city as if in the throes Of an
earthquake. Glass was broken, doors
flung open, plaster fell from the walls,
goods came tumbling down from the
Of of the the buildings, and tt the S peo.
pie stood aghast at what they
knew not A telephone message from the
scene Of the disaster told the cause of the
shock and dispelled the fear. Chaos and
ruin marked the scene of the disaster.
Where the powder houses stood there is
not vestige of the building left and the
site of the American powder magazine is
marked by hole in the ground 100 feet in
circumference and from 25 to 80 feet in
depth.
Scantling AKA were hurled through the air
over half mile with terrific force, and
brick and other debris are scattered over
large area Of territory. Buildings in the
immediate neighborhood and for three
quarters of mile distant are badly
wrecked.
The following persons were injured:
Louis Fachan, aged ten, badly cut in the
legs; Alice Fachan, aged eight, and Edna
Fachan, twelve years, badly bruised; Ar
thur Anting. aged thirty-five, butcher in
the employ of Alexander Fachan,
has big hole in his side
caused by flying debris. He was working
in the slaughter house, several hundred
yards distant, and was blown clear out into
the field where he was struck. The infant
child of Alex Fachan was cut in the left
breast. James Lacaze, aged fifteen, was
badly hurt in the neck
The wounded were removed to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Lacaze, where their in
juries were attended to. Fourteen head of
cattle and several hogs wire killed
and two horses were riddled with
shot. The offices of the stockyards
were wrecked, and many buildings in Pool
vile, suburb, were badly torn and dam
aged. The loss to the American powder
company, Latin g. Rand, Hazard & Du-
pont, is placed at $4,000, while the
total loss is estimated at 0,000.
Two thousand five hundred and twenty
nine kegs of powder went up in the explo-
sion besides magazine stored with pyro-
technics. This will give some estimate Of
the force of the explosion which shook this
city from center to circumference this
morning.
