EDITOR BANNER:-The time is
almost at hand when the voters of
Logan county will be called upon
to choose a County Snperintend-
ent of Free Schools. Heretofore
this election has been considered
of very little Importance to any
one except school teachers, and
in fact so much so that it is en-
tirely ignored by large per cent
of the voters. Such should not
be the case.
Any one that has travelled over
this county will see what an
amazingly large number Of per-
sons there are that cannot even
read the constitution under which
they are living. Some of these
of course were "boys" when Free
Schools were unknown here, that
in a measure should be overlook
ed, but the greater part of these
are youths that have no excuses
to offer. This illiteracy is not
confined to this county alone, or
even this State, but sorry to say
we have far greater share than
we should. l do not say that the
County Superintendent and the
school officers are absolutely re-
sponsible for this state of affairs,
but they certainly do, to a very
great extent, shape the final des-
TIMES of the youths under their
care. 1t will be admitted by all
that, with probably one or two ex-
ceptions, Logan county has not
had for 20 years a County Super
Iintendent that has faithfully dis
charged one half the duties inn
posed upon him BY law, while the
salary has been gradually increas-

WAS that newspaper bill, about
which We heard 50 much, intro
duced at the late session of the
legislature? We have failed to
learn Of its whereabouts. The
people, no less than the newspa-
pers of this State, stand sorely in
need of some newspaper legisla-
ton. The best way to bring it
abort is to organize, stand togeth-
er and demand it. The transac-
tionsof ever county official should
be published in two papers Of OPP
positc POLITICS, at least, that the
public may know how the affairs
Of the county are being carried
on. Newspapers are instrumental
in building up the country to a

tor, and they reflect the enter

What means the news from
ColoradQ that the Democrats
swept that State at the elections
Of this weeks? Well, we guess
that the white metal was at the
base of the Democratic victory.
The people Of the silver States
have become tired Of the Repub-
licans' facility in making prom
ises to the ear and skill in break
ing them to the hope. Last fall
there was a regular landslide all
over the Union, and the Republi-
cans were defeated so badly that
the people of Colorado have no
doubt since decided in their own
minds that few more defeats
wouldn't hurt the Republican
party very much. So here is a
Democratic triumph in silver
State.-Dsspateh.

The good effects of the McKin-
ley bill, az well as the bad effects,
combine to show that protection
Is for capital and not labor. The
tariff increased the protection on
plate glass. The manufacturers
are charging their works and pre-
pairing to doa bigger business than
axer, and these facts are paraded
before the world by the high tariff
papers. So far as they are true they
indicate, what needed no proof,
that the tariff is good thing for
the manufacturers. Where do the
workmen come ina The mantI-
facturers pretend that they can
not get workmen in this country,
and they are trying to get permits
sion to import lot of cheap for
eienE contract labor. We have
also seen good many glowing
descriptions Of the Nottingham
lace factory that was to be estab-
lished at Scranton, Pa. Bnt it.
seems that an essential part of
this plan was not the employment
of American labor, but the i'm
portation of a lot of English lace
makers. The whole scheme has
fallen through SO far as Scranton
is concerned. Existing manufac-
turing establishments, which were
benefited by the new tariff are
reducing wages right and left, and
the new establishments which Mr..
Mckinley proposed to create are
going to import cheap European
labor.-N0tion0z Democrat.

ANOTHER SENSATION IN THI CASH or MRS.
BARNABYS POISONING.
DR.. Graves, Who Was Beneficiary UnGsr the
Will, and Who is Suspected Of Sending the
Poisoned Whisky to the Woman, Leaves
for Denver, Under Surveillance.

New YORK, May 1O.-A dispatch from
Providence says that the news OF DR..
Graves departure for Denver created
much surprise when ii was read here
this morning. Many are the surmises
as to what led him to make the journey,
and many conjecture DR.. Graves has
gone TO Denver TO tell what he knows
about the mysterious bottle. He thinks
that he has gone of his own volition,
and that he is not under surveillance.
He is mistaken. 1t was HobsOn's
choice, and he went to Denver, appar-
entity free man, but every step he
takes, every mile he rides, every waking
and sleeping hour will find a silent
watcher near him. Had he not gone as
he did he would in few days have
travelled under much different circum
stances.
A CORES spondent in receipt of informa
tion from the inner circle, said this
morning that the Pinkerton men have
completely covered the Boston end of
the Barnaby case to nicety. They
know by whom and when that bottle
was mailed to Denver. They have this
fact so securely that DR.. Graves will be
astoniShed when he hears what the de-
tectiveS have TO say.
Will DR.. Graves return TO Providence?
From what is said now-and it comes
from good authorty-the chances
are that he will not return
in hurry. The doctor
has been cunningly lured on to tacitly
say that he had seen the bottle; that
when he mailed it it was filled with
pure and harmless whisky. He has,
so it is asserted, taken this as cue and
gone to Denver to tell that story. When
he tells this to the Coroner's jury then
the Pinkerton story will be told. Then
look for something to tumble. 1t is
declared here to-day that when DR..
Graves lands in Denver he will prac-
tically be under arrest. This comes
from one who has been in close connec-
tion with the detectives all the time.
One of the surprised men will be DR..
Graves, when he sees gentleman about
! feet 10 inches high, weighing 210
pounds, who will, when he takes the
witness stand, answer to the name OF
Ormton ). Hanscom. DR.. Graves and
the gentleman were several times this
and last week at the Barnaby mansion,
and he was introduced to him as Charles
Conrad, a brother of John II. Conrad.
To the supposed Charles Conrad he
talked quite freely, and is said to have
giveu many valuable points, such as de-
tectiveS hunt for. Brother Conrad will
reach Denver at the same time that Dr.
Graves does, although he left here II
hours later than the Doctor, and he will
register at the hotel as Inspector Han
scOm.

WANT CORTE TO GO.
New Orleans People are Very Indignant
at the italian Consul.

New ORLEANS, May 10.-On the 7th
inst. Mr.. Corte, the Italian Consul in
this city, addressed communication to
w. III. Chaffee, foreman OF the grand
jury, charging among other things,
"that an extra judicial body appointed
by the Mayor from the beginning pre-
meditated the killing Of the prisoners {;
that the same body assembled on the
night Of March 13 to take in cold blood
the necessary steps to kill, for political
purposes, defenseless but fearful adver-
saries," etc.
The above statement has given to the
Mayor Of the city the greatest possible
offence. The extra judicial body, to
official communication, is none other
than the famous committee of fifty, ap-
pointed by His Honor Immediately after
the killing of Chief Hennessey to inves-
tigate and to bring the guilty parties TO
justice. That they should be character
lied as a murderous body for political
purposes, and so created by the Mayor
of the city, has occasiOned the greatest
Indignation in municipal circles.
One O; the results of the letter has
been that the Committee of fifty have al
ready commenced the preparation of a
report which will give in detail their
connection with the necessary investiga-
ton, the work accomplished by them
and the causes of their appointment.
This report is TO be submitted TO the
Mayor and Council at their meeting
Tuesday night: and on the basis of their
report the Mayor will take the neces-
sary action leading to a recall of the
Italian Consul at this port.
Mr.. Corte has given expression TO a
great deal of offensive language since
the incident of the 14th of March last,
but His Honor has not seen fit to notice
it because of its appearance only in the
form of interviews through the public
prints. In the present instance, how
ever, he reiterates all the charges pre-
viously made in the manner stated
above his own signature; so that moth
ing remains for the municipal authori-
ties to do but to take steps toward Sc
curing his recall.
The foreman of the grand jury called
on Mayor Shakespeare to-day, and
while it is not possible to ascertain just
what transpired in the conference, it is
certain nevertheless that the visit has
reference to the consul's letter. The
grand jury, it is understood, are at pres
ent engaged in a reply to that communi-
cation, and it is stated that it will be
read for the press by Wednesday.

A MOTHERS ACT.
A Bulldog Tears Her Child and She sucks
the Wound Clean.

New YORK, May 1O.-James Meara,
the 3-year-old son of William Fl. Meara,
was playing in the lot at the rear Of his
home to-day and Patrick Reilly, the
child's uncle, was at work in the garden
close at hand. A young bulldog belong
ing to Jeremiah Kenney; who lives close
by, was gnawing bone by the fence.
All at once there was a scream and
Reilly looked up to see the bulldog drag
ging the little boy along the ground
by his head. The dogs teeth were
firmly fixed in the teeth and forehead Of
the child and the brute was shaking
him viciously, the child screaming all
the while and fighting as hard as he
could to release himself. The uncle
pounded the dog with club, but blows
ware unavailing, and it was not until it
was nearly choked to death that the dog
released its grip. Then it sneaked away
to its kennel, and made no objection to
being chained.
The child was covered with blood, and
it looked at first as though his eyes had
been put out, but his wounds were found
TO be only torn cheek and several
deep incisions in the forehead. These
the boys mother promptly sucked clean,
and when the doctor came he said they
were not dangerous. The owner had
the dog killed.
