OUR FREE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Arkansas school laws are equita- ble, fair and just. No state i'll the Union has better system for the proper education of her youth. Our counties are divided into school dis tricts of convenient size, and the vo- ters have the option of voting for or against a school tax, and we are glad to know they generally vote the full limit-a five mill school tax. In this way a free school, of from three to ten months is generally maintain ed in a large msjorty of the districts all over the state. Besides the dis trict school tax, which is optional, there is a mandatory state school tax of two mills, collected every year, which is afterward divided propor- tionately.
 All should feel a pride Tn our most excellent free school system. When we compare our educational facilities with those states which have no such system, we certainly can congratulate ourselves. In many states the country schools, kept up by private subscription, are few and far between, and, in consequence their youth are growing up in igno- rance. What tepIorable condition All say the hope and perpetuity of our country, lies ill the education of our children, as ignorance leads to barbarism and anarchy. Glad to tell the world Arkansas is progress sive-proposes to educate her youth.
 Of course there may be some ob- jections to our free school system and there are some men who oppose it, this is but natural. But we are glad to know that that there is really but little opposition and some, prom inent in our midst, who have for years past opposed it, have come over to the right side, in the past year. Local causes may even sometimes justify opposition to the system for time but such instances are rare.
 In conclusion, let us stand by our school laws, as well as all other laws. Until better system for the educa- ton of our children is offered us, let's hold to that we have.

A Trip "Down East. !"

It is safe to say that the large majority of those who take an annu- al vacation of from two weeks to a month, do not go for rest, but for recreation and change of scene-a change which of itself brings rest. To such, the East with it's great cities, it's historic places, seaside and mountain reports, lakes, and highly cultivated landscapes offers an invit- ing field.
 l The number of places which may be reached in a few hours by rail or steamer in tue East, enables the tourist to see more in week than he could see Tn q month of travel in the West.
 Many of the eastern resorts may be visited by holders of through l tickets reading over routes of through car lines, stop-oyers being allowed, thus affecting considera- ! ble both in fares and time, as ! through rates are always less than 1 local rates.
 Notable among the through tick cts reading over rontes affording this facility are the Ohio & Missis- sippi R'ya4d its eastern connections. ] With the Baltimore X Ohio Route it runs both morning and evening lines Pullman Nestibule Sleepers from St. Louis through Deer Park and Oakland (the twin mountain re- sorts of the Alleghanies), Harpers Ferry, Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia to New York without change.
 In connection with the Erie By the 0. X NJ. Ky. affords direct route for LakeChatauqua, Niagara Fails, Saratoga and Lake George, Erie By traias pass directly through Lakewood on the southern border of Lake Chatauqua, affording easy access to that favorite resort.
 For White Sulphur and other healing springs of the Nirginias, Richmond, Old Point Comfort, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, the 0. x NJ. makes direct connection in Unlon Depot, Cincinnati, with the Chesapeake X Ohio Route.
 Summer Excursion tickets to all the Eastern Resorts are now on sale at o. I NJ. offices in St. Louis at re- duced rates.
 Rates to New York and other east ern points bp this line are lower than by any other through car route from St. Louis, and our accommoda- tions are unsurpassed.
 Those who contemplate trip East this summer, should communicate with the undersigned, who will be glad to furnish descriptive pamphlets of the different resorts, reserve sleep ing car berth and supply any addi- tional information as 10 rates, time and routes.

A Beautiful Spectacle!

It is nov announced that the acts of the last legislature will be furnish ed to all county officers as soon as the binders can supply them, but Tn the meantime paper covered copies will be sent to the Circuit Judges, Prosecuting Attorneys and Clerks at once. This is done in order that persons who have violated the laws which they have never seen or heard of, may be punished. This is 8 grand country. The people are supposed to be so intelligent that they will guess at the laws made by their six dollars 2 day law makers, who fear to spend the taxpayers money in enlightening them, but do not hesitate to draw their own pay while at home attending to their personal business or on a Sunday frolic. How economical they are. TAugusa Nidette.
 It is not right to compel the peo- pie to obey laws of which they know nothing, when the Legislature could so easily have given publicly to the same by publishing them in the newspapers, at small cost. And it has been proven that such publi- cation would really have saved the people more than five times the cost thereof. The common good of the people demanded promulgation of the new laws, before enforcing them. It is repulsiye to our republican form of government, to enact laws and punish violaters of the same, before proper promulgation. 1t is as bad as condemning man unheard- without jadge or jury. The false economy of the Legislature, and it's afraid 5it-might-help the-newspapers, is beias condemned on all sides.

The Woodruff Dedication.

It was reported yesterday that the Pulaska Circuit Court Grand Jury had reached the conclusion that no evidence was at hand sufficient to warrant them in returning an indict- ment against ex-Treasurer Woodruff. Up to the present time the Burning
 Board has been unable to bring about a final settlement between the two Treasurers, without which settle ment it will he impossible for the jury, to ascertain unpaid shortage, if any exists in the Treasury. According to the evidence now at hand the State has been fully compensated for all the amounts of which Maj, Wood ruff was short, in cash, and accord ing to the laws of the State as inter preted by the Supreme Court in such cases, he cannot be considered de- faulter until after final settlement of all his accounts and the discovery of deficit and a demand for pay ment thereof, no payment shall be made. And sno such demand can be made because of the fact that the settlement is still incomplete. It is said the Grand Jury will adjourn to day, and that furthur action will be postponed until the fall term of court, The delay thus far has been due to the inability of the State board to complete the Investigation begun to ascertain the condition of the various funds handled by the late Treasurer. - Arkansas Gazette, June l1th.
