Tuz argument in the Gum haBsas
corpus case was concluded last night
aud tbs case submitted TO the court.
Il is thought that the court will rem
der its decisiosss Saturday morning.
Attorney General Little stated to the
pOpulist caucus Wednesday night that
he thought tile governor would FscOg-
nize the Douglass house if the supreme
court decided that it was the legal
iiuuse. The caucus decided thst at
would be Inadvisabls 70 adjourn the
legislature In case the supreme court
decided against the popHiist house.
THIS, We otliirilx, is n very wise eonelu-
siua. Whatever o the decision o. the
court saay be, it must ia the snd be
respected aud obeyed by ali, from1the
EoyernOr down. In our system of gov
eminent the law is above All officers,
and tie supreme court is the Ogly
hoSy that can finally decide what Is
the Law. and whenever the decisions OF
tlte courts of last resort are Ignored on
deIed by the executive OF the lsgisis,-
cure there is an end IA civil gCvsrsl-
meut, AMI anarchy or military despoi-
ism must inevitably follow.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.


IEBlTED BY C. c. COHuAoK.l
TbOughJIul ssnOOl men every where
agree ia the opinion that a wise grad
iugOt our country schools would secure
mOIe - stemaUIc aud better Work chan
Is being dUne at present. This opinion
pr, walls TO such al eAteutln Jhts state
that wfthin tls last few years d large
number OF cuUuty superIutenuEuLs
have, by persistent personal effort. sue
ceeded III grading lac schools OF their
respective counties 70 AS great an 5z-
tent us il Is possible UnueT the author
iJy conferred On them by The existing
law. In ali these counties experience
has shown a very marked Improvement
in several directions. More systemaJIc
work has Deeu done, attehdan, at
school has been more regular Hnd-bs-
Cause graduation from the country
schools las been part Of the plan
many pupils have remained at school
one and TWO years longer THAI they
would otherwise have done. a year
or two longer at school, especially in
the case of older pupils, is an educa-
tiOnai gam hard to OveTestimaLe. L
believe the legislature should, at its
coming session, help in this work by
appointing q committee 20 frame a
course of study for our country school
and enacunE laws necessary to secure
its adoption throughout the stale. To
frame a course Of study that could be
adjusted 20 the varying length Of
school terms, and that could be used
y it'll any given set of text books, has
been SHOWN TO be entirely practicable.
1 am confident that such legislation as
have suggested concerning this matter
would be of very great benefit TO the
common schools Of o AZ state.
The matter of school textbooks Is
still being mucn discussed As in the
report from this office Of 1889 80. L
again express the opinion that the best
solution OF tile problem involved would
be that school districts. townships or
counties he authorized 70 select books
for term OF years; and that these
books be furnished free to all pupils
desiring TO use them. Such a law need
not interfere with the present uniform
10y law. g. W. WENANs.

had no right 20 resort to mob force to

that the supreme court is the proper

FRAUDS ~ eEOBaAA.


From the National Waterman
The vote Of Georgia in tine recent
election, if NO other evidence was want
ing, would convict the oemocTacy Of
that state of the Erosssst ftauds. In
1884 tie aggregate vote Of che stats
was las. 27O; democratic "a, 6s7, repub-
lican 4s,6O4. In 1883 tbs vote WAS
40, s95; democratic 100, 449, repa biz
csu 4O,446. Tie returns fOT 1893
place the vote of the state at 22O, $685.
Cleveland l2s, 28O, Harrison 4s ,5ss,
Weaver 4l,74I, BidWen $50. This
shows a net gain Of 50 ,8I4 ia the voting
strength oT that state since 1883, OK
all increase Of O. per cent. The en-
tire vote of the southern states for
1888 amounted 20 8 ,239, 600. II all
these states have increased their voting
strength ia the same ratio as Georgia
the vote Of that section has increased
? ,IO9 40 in four years. II each voter
represents ave people, which is tine
adopted rule, the southern states have
increased ia population IG, Az 200 dur
ing tile same period To show tHs
fraud more plainly, let it be remem-
bered that the population of tire
United states, according to the census
Of 1880, was 50,1S5. 1888. The census
OF 1890 disclosed a population uf So
G0G, 600 in round Hum5sre, or q gain
OF 100000 in ten years, for tie
whole country. But the returns from
Georgia show that this seetiun alone
gained over 10000, 900 in tHe past four
years The evidence is too plain for

back 10 New-Nork.
The yacht had good weather until Monday
night, when the winds and seas began to increase.
Captain Bailey, the sailing master OF the yacht. saw
that a storm was coming and made everything
snug to meet it. When Tuesday morning broke
the storm broke with it. In fact, before daylight
a gale was blowing. Wind and sen kept incrcas-
