CHANCE FOR A FIGHT.
TO THE COMMANDER OF THE
ESMERALDA.

SAN Francisco, May, 1.-THE Chronicle
has received "a dispatch from Acapulco
from a naval officer on board the Charles
ton. The dispatch is dated Saturday and
says, in part:
THE Charleston arrived here this morn
ing, passing close to the Esmeralda as she
entered the harbor. The Charleston an
chored and cleared the ship for action, to
be ready for emergencies. Later in the day
IA formal interview took place bet ween Cap
tain Remey, OF the Charleston, and the
captain OF the Esmeralda. The latter
stated that the Charleston should never
take the Itata until the Esmeralda was
sunk. Captain Remey replied: Il have or,
ders to take the Itata. Ths fact that the
Esmeralda is present will make no differ.

pected il the Itata appears"

Our School Past, Present, Future.

Although it has been but three years
since school really began its up
ward course the growth in attendance
and the raising of the standard of edu-
cation in this community has been so
marked as to deserve a brief review.
For a number of years prior to Sep
TENDER 1883 school had been held in a
small building accommodating some 40
pupils all studying the same lessons
year after year. That fall the first step
was taken and Mrs. |. b. Dawkins was
engaged to assist Prof. J.. NJ. Parent,
she occupying the NJ. f. church with
the smaller scholars all that term and
until January LIST, 1890, when a great
stride wa taken. During the previous
summer the district had been bonded
and a two-story brick building contain
ing four spacious rooms, had been
erected on a commanding and well Sc
lected site. On moving in on January
LIST, 1880, the school was organized into
three departments, primary, informed
late and high grade, being in charge of
Mrs. l. b. Dawkins, Miss Ella Smith
and Prof. Parent. Organizing with
but sixty pupils it soon grew to 100 and
from the old rut in which they had
travelled so long the field was enlarged,
so that at the examinations held i'm
June, 1890, the high grade had COM
pleted what corresponded TO the Fresh
man course in college.
Opening again in 1890 with Prof.
Sallie Dwight as instructors, the en-
rollment grew to 129 and the course of
studies comprised Logic, Zoology, AL
zebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and
other of the higher branches. AT the
recent examinations ID pupils were
promoted to the high grade and 20 to
the intermediate.
The prospect for the coming term is
good; there will, in all probability, be
150 pupils enrolled. The patrons and
friends to education should do all they
can to assist the teachers i'm making
this school compare favorably with
any of its kind in the country. Par
ents, you should remember that our
school here in Lewistown is the foun-
dation upon which to build a prosper
Gus town. 1t has done more for the
town than any other one thing. With
a good graded school our community is
bound to prosper. Parents should
visit the school in order to ascertain
how their children are progressing
The person that never goes neal the
school ard finds fault. is one that has
not the welfare of the community at
heart, is one that is Of no advantage to
any country. All should remember
that the public schools of this country
are the foundation of our Republican
form of government. 1t is in our pub
lie schools that a child's character is
shaped to a certain extent. So teach
ers should be very careful about the
education of n child's morals. We do

The fires OF the great smelter plant
at Anaconda are now entirely en-
tinguished and thousands OF men are
idle owing to the shutdown. This Is
an unfortunate tate OF affairs for An
aconda and Butte, and it is sincerely
hoped that an amicable adjustment OF
differences between the Anaconda COM
pany and the Montana Union railroad
will be speedily brought about.

1t is now apparent that the Mica
ragua canal, when completed, will
prove not only OF great commercial
advantage to the United States, but
of great military Importance as well.
1t is said that if the canal were
now in running order the secretary OF
the navy could put the West Indian
squadron into Pacific waters in forty
eight hours, where it could render as
sistance in the capture of the Itata.
With this canal completed it will be an
easy matter for Uncle Sam to protect
both coasts without expensive navies.

Prof. Briggs is n profound Biblical
scholar and in line with the advanced
thought OF the age. lie sees clearly
that il the church would hold it's own
it must lay aside the crude and rigid
doctrines born OF a darker age and
accept the results of scientific research
and rational, intelligent investigation.
Prof. Briggs, in a word, believes there
u be growth and expansion in re-
ligion as in everything else, or inertia
and death will follow. But Prof.
Briggs will have to go. The despotic
powers above him are as relentless as
The Car of Russia.

The question whether the worlds
fair should be open Sundays is agitat-
ing the good people OF the east. We
can see nothing wrong in keeping the
fair open. 1t may keep people from
worse places, while it would afford an
opportunity for the thousands OF la
boring people to view the exhibition
who might not otherwise find it con-
venient to do so. Surely there is moth
ing demoralizing in gazing on works OF
art, the products of genius or the mar
velous in nature. The fair will be con-
Quoted largely by shifts, so that the
plea of rest will have but little weight.
For that matter there are some
branches that could be closed, while
others requiring but little labor could
be left open % visitors.

A party of Illinois legislators visited
Schweinfurth. the Christ" at his
mansion near Rockford last week.
After listening to a discourse by the
imposter, they were introduced to the

to a sumptuous repast. They went
away with the impression thatSchwein-
furth was a very astute man and was
making "a fortune out OF his ignorant
followers. This vile sect is a disgrace
to Illinois.

A company is being organized in
Philadelphia, to he known as the
Welsh-American Tin Plate company,
with a capital OF 1000, 600, for the
purpose OF carrying on the manufac-
ture of tin plate in Eastern Pennsyl-
vania. The mills are to have a capac-
ity OF 1000 boxes OF tin plate a week,
which is expected to be increased to
10000. Ofcourse the ''tin-plate liars"
will forget to mention this in their
journals. They are not hunting after
the truth very diligently.

The flight of the CHILEAN steamer
Itata from Sal Diego and the pursuit
by the American cruiser Charleston is
exciting some little interest in this
country. The captain OF the Charles
ton has orders to capture the Itata at
all hazards. The fact that the Es-
meralda, a CHILEAN cruiser, is lying of
the Mexican coast and likely to go to
the assistance OF the Itata makes the
situation yet more interesting. The
Charleston and Esmeralda are ar
mored about the same, with a slight
advantage in favor OF the latter.

The "tin plate liars" will tell you
that tin has been taxed out OF sight"
yet, as a matter OF fact, since the
American product has been placed on
the market, tin which was formerly
$500 per box has been reduced to

produce all the tin plate required for
