history of our country when the
question. of educating,the. masses re-
ceived more thought-and considera-

a time when our public schools were
on trial. so to speak. and public edu-
cation an experiment. This is not
so now. We are thankful indeed
that these days of trial are past and
gone and that our public schools
have stood the test and are noW.With
us as a fixture. Our public school
system has most gloriously trl'
umphed over the days of test and
trial and has nobly proved itself a
system of schools above all other
.ystems. Our public schools. have
come to US to stay, and public edu'
cation is now a public necessity and
must be maintained at the public
expense.

Letters on the Subject from Resi-
dents of the County.
To the Editor OF The Republican.
Please say in your next issue that L
am in favor of a longer term of school.
l believe we ought at least have 7
months. The true development OF
our county demands this. We ought
to educate our children. Our county
il behind every one in the Stale IN
length Of school term and Maryland
is not one of the highest in regard to
education. Massachusetts pays thouS'
ands of dollars every year IT, convey
her children to school. We must
awake and do our duty. Let II M
longer be said that we care so lltlle
for the education of our children, bn'
let us have larger levy and longer
and better schools. The taxation
will not be so much greater and the
benefit will be vast.

Recalled.

At a session of the State Board OF
Equalization in Washoe county
Wednesday several prominent citizens
made such vigorous protest against
the proposed individual raise OF taxes
that the Board decided to recall the
raises of that class in that county.
To ascertain whether this action
would be taken toward other counties
the SILVER STATE wired Controller
Horton this morning in regard to it
and received the following reply:
"Tndividual raises all recalled
This will cause great sigh of relief
to go up from the taxpayers OF this
county. What action the Board Will
take regarding the proposed 70 per
cent horizontal raise in Humboldt

Streets Paved With Silver.

We have heard, says the Virginia
Chronicle, of the streets of the New
Jerusalem being paved with gold, OF
lands flowing with milk and honey,
and have heard of the pearly gates of
heaven. Such have been taken as
fairy tales. But perhaps it is not
generally known that to a certain ex-
tent the streets of Virginia have been
paved with silver. The recent exca-
vations made on G street in repairing
the sewers have demonstrated this
fact. The street has been ballasted
with what was supposed to be waste
rock from the dumps of certain min
ing companies. During the recent
repairs to the sewers some of the fill
ing of the street has been assayed out
of curiosity and some of the rock has
shown an average value of SO per ton
in silver, and some speeiments dis
lodged by the workman's pick on the
street have shown value of five
times that amount. OF course these
rich specimens furnish no better
ballast than barren rock, but had
they been worked by the mining COM
panies from whose dumps they were
taken, stockholders might have been
saved something in the way of as
sessments, and the product of the
mine in precious metals greatly in
creased.

WAR AT RENO.
The Board of Assessors Recaiis the
Individual Raises in Washoe County.

The Board of Assessors Recalls the
Individual Raises in Washoe County.
The Governor and Attorney-Gen-
eral held meeting at Reno day be-
fore yesterday, to hear complaints OF
Washoe citizens regarding the pro-
posed individual raises in their as
ssessments. A large number OF
prominent Washoe taxpayers ap-
peared before the Board and wanted
to know what right that body had to
raise their assessments An idea OF
the feeling evinced may be be secured
from the following language used by
DIR. III. III. Beck, who addressed the
committee at some length:
"Governor Colcord ! believe that
the citizens generally respect you as
the Chief Magistrate, and they also
hold Attorneys General Torreyson in
high esteem as a citizen, but they
regard your coming here as Board of
Equalization as lot of pirates"
The injured Washoeites talked to
such good effect that the Boardlfnahy
decided to recall the notices of in
crease in individual assessments.
The Journal in commenting upon
the action of the Board says:
As the movement to raise individ-
ual assessments in this county has
been abandoned, the Board will
doubtless recall the notifications is
sued to individual taxpayers in other
parts of the State. The Board to re-
lieve itself from the suspicion of be-
ing partial, should now explain why
it made horizontal raise of 121a per
cent. in some counties, 15 per cent.
in others, 20 per cent. in three coun-
ties and 25 per cent. in two, 1t
must have some reason for discrim-
mating, and as it should have moth
ing to conceal, in justice to itself it
ought to explain.
