OUR COUNTY SCHOOLS.
FROM TIE SUPERINTENDENT.

In a short article Which we caused
tO be published in the last weeks issue
IF the Ellsworth News and the Adrian
Guardian, we promised to say some-
thing in our next in regard to the way |
we saw arithmetic and writing taught |!
in some of the schools in the county,
but we shall have to defer fulfilling
that promise until some future time in |
order to give space to other important
matters.
A minister of the Gospel once said
that many people seemed very earnest
and active till they were converted and
admitted into the church, then all ex-
ertion ceased. Judging from their
actions, the only prayer. after admis-
siOr, these persons ever say is, "NOW
lay me down to Sleep"
Many teachers belong to this class,
and a few of the kind Can be found in
Mobiles county. You will fnd this
class of "Now lay me down to sleep"
teachers apparently very studious be-
fore getting a license to teach Ia third
grade certificate) then all ambition and
activity seems to cease. This bit of
paper with "Third Grade Certificate"
printed at the top satisfies them per-
fectly and when the same expires they
will send it to the County Sumrrintend-
ent for renewal or, If it is from an
other county, for his endorsement
thereon, with very plausible excuse
for not attending the institute or any
of the public examinations.
Teachers, we have your interests at
heart, ard for this very reason we will
have to say that, hereafter, we can not
nor will not renew or iudOrse third
grade certificates, and we ought to say
that we will not grant third grade
certificate to candidate more than
once.
Be ashamed to teach school more
than one term by virtue of the above
named grade, except for good and just
cause. Let US do away with the third
!grade certificate in this county. A
slfkht effort on the part of the teachers
will make it thing of the past. A
great deal is being done all over the
State in the way Of raising the stand.

OUR LAKE WATER.


Druggist Ray Humiston has made
an analysis Of the lake water, which is
as follows:
West Okabena Lake (unfiltered):
Solids, grains per gallon, 3l.8
Chlorine, 4
Free ammonia. parts per million, .W)3
AlbuminOid " :" 81
Oxygen consumed in moist COM
bustion, parts per million, 46!
This analysis shows that the organic
contamination is of vegetable aud not
animal origin, and is free from metal
lie impurities, but the vegetable mat
ter it contains renders it unfit for do
mestic use. AS the water which is
to be used In the water works system
will be properly filtered by the drive
points, it will be perfectly hea]thful.

A law passed by the late farmer
Legislature of Kansas, it is claimed,
has placed in the hands of the pro-
ducers of the State, the power to
control the marketing Of their
grain.
The law, which goes into effect
this week, declares all grain ele-
vators of the State public ware
houses, and compels railroad COM
pauies to give all parties desiring
the right to erect and operate such
public warehouses alongside their

respective lines, and equal facilities
to all in shipping.
Armed with these privileges and
protection, Alliance organizations
have purchased and built a large
number of these warehouses, IN
which they will store and hold
grain until the market conditions
are satisfactory, By so doing it is
believed the g,ut of the marx o:
that has usually followed the har-
vest in the past, and the attendant
reduction in price, will be avoided,
to the benefit of the producer as
against the speculator and the car
riers, who have heretofore managed
to absorb the lions share of the
profit of grain raising.
The operation of the new law
will be watched with interest by
the farmers of Minnesota aud other
large grain-growing States.-St.
Paul News.

Probably the most foolish newspa-
per comment to which the much dis
cussed wheat agitation has given
rise is that the farmers seek to cor
ner the crop and send the "staff of
life" skyward. 1t would be perfectly
safe to say that nineteen-twentieths
of the farmers of the northwest
would be glad to contract their
wheat for a year or a term of years

The republican party has satisfac-
torily settled every great national
question that has arisen in our gov
eminent for the past third OF centu-
nv, and it will do the same with the
great questions that shall arise in
the future.
Let us see. One-half of the assets

country. Do you think this state of
things is satisfactory to the remain
ing 81 and three, fourths millions?

of the latter number minority,
by reason of fortunate circumstances
and energetic hustling secure a decent
diving; but they see themselves slip
ping more and more into the control
of the money power and are shadow
ed by the continual apprehension OF
dosing their estate. Do you think
this class of society is satisfied with
it's condition?
-
More than so percent of the total
population sentenced to unremitting
toll for the requirements of bareex
istence, and their children, surround
ed by free schools and the evidences OF
plenty, yet vast numbers of them are
deprived of educational advantages
and doomed by the operation of the
same relentless and iniquitous laws
that have produced this social state
to toll on in ignorance and poverty
to maintain animal existence. Do
you suppose, Mr.. Capital, the great
questions OF the day have been set
tied satisfactorily to this class OF So
ciety?
Yet these social and economic con-
ditions are the legitimate fruit of the
satisfactory (?) settlement the old
parties have made OF "the great
questions that have arisen during
the past third of a century,"
On Wednesday Of last week the
Census Bureau issued an official bull
ietin on the subject of prisoners in
county jails. 1t shows that the per-
centage of growth in population has
has been 80 per cent less than the
percentage OF increase in the number
inmates in county jails, proving that
the encroachments of the money
power upon the holdings OF the in
'dustrial classes is steadily squeezing
the latter down. so that the lower
stratum is compelled to choose be-
tween starvation and roguery. Is
anyone satisfied with this kind OF a So
cial state? Laws that have fostered
the growth of corporate power to
the extent that it now menaces the
welfare OF millions and constitutes
one of the greatest dangers to which
the institutions Of the republic are
subjected; that have permitted the
growth of gigantic trusts and combi-
nations that control the products OF
the mines, and the prices OF the nee
essaries OF life; that create robber
tariff to exact from poverty the pro-
ceeds OF its toll and pour it into the
Golfers of the dangerous wealthy
GLASS" These are the promising pro-
geny of old party legislation during
the last third OF a century, and the
people are not satisfied.
