section finally went through, The sec
ton providing for an admission fee Of
not over twenty-five cents was adopted.
The section providing for tho expendi"
ture OF the proceeds derived from enter
talnmonts by and under the direction
OF the committee on text books was de-
feated by a vote OF II to 5. The teachers
will attend to that matter as heretofore,
The next section providing that seats
shal! not be taken up, and that the en-
tertainments shall not Interfere with
the regular school work, carried. The
original resolution. provided that no re'
freshments should be served during
school hours. A member wanted toknow
il the section would include lemonade
which is dispensed in many OF the
schools in the summer months. The
president said no supposed it would.
The section was defeated, Sto.7.
A petition was read from eighty OF
the regular teachers OF the city schools
asking for 4 reconsideration OF the
pction Of tho board taken at q preceding
meeting, by which substitute teachers
are to be paid 81 80 per day, and asking
that the old figures be restored, 81. The
petition was tabled.
Mr.. dillingham; asked for new blinds
on the Fourth ward school. His desire
was gratitled.
THE LINCOLN SCHOOL SITE.
Tha discussion in regard to a new site
and rebuilding OF the Lincoln school
building came next, having been tabled
AZ the March meeting. Mr. Ellingham
said he had had q conversation with
Architect Giesey, who had told him he
could build new building on the site
Of the old structure, with eight rooms
and pressed brick front, for not more
than $4,000. This estimate he snid he
thought to be an outside one.
MIR. Ellingham favored rebuilding
Lincoln school on the old site, aud Civ
ing the colored people as good build.
ing as there Is in the city. This can be
done on the old site at much smaller
expenditure than OH 8 new site.
Judge Boyd introduced resolution
that the building and grounds commit
tee secure plans for new building TO
be built on the old site, at an expendi-
ture of not moro than $4,000, and re-
port at tho next meeting Of the board.
There was considerable opposition to
the rebuilding OF Lincoln school build
ing on the old site on account OF the
immortality OF tho surroundings. 1t
was learned from a member that the
immoral surroundings could by applica-
ton to the chief OF police be rooted out.
Judge Boyd's resolution passed, IA to 8.
The board then adjourned.

The superintendent presented lot
ter, representing that the board OF edu.

would be better, said the superintend-
emit, to hold this examination in May

such great monetary chiefs, whose life
work has been to invent methods OF cur
rency and coinage by which industry is
robbed Of it's rewards, and the wealth
it creates is brought into their power
and possession, is like counsehng with
pirates, thieves and robbers, in respect to
the best method Of administering civil
government. Their counsel will be such
as will best subserve their own covetous
purposes, and the nations that follow it
must yield them obedience. Yet such is
the direction in which our national rulers
are pushing US.

repeat. II the railroad corporations are
not able to comply with the requisitions
Of the law, it will appear in due time, and
those gentlemen who are the managers
of the railways can, without creating
any special inconvenience, lay down their

the men who for large part Of the year
do not see their families in the hours Of
daylight during six days Of every week.
They are the men who have builded our
cities; they are the men who have builded
our railways; they are the men who have
opened the great highways Of commerce
in this country; they are the men upon
whose toll and upon whose daily labor
and upon whose patient loyalty to the
institutions Of the republic we are to- day
largely indebted for much Of the things
which we enjoy. I am pleased also to
know that I am at liberty to speak in
behalf Of that worthy class Of citizens.
SIN connection with the object of this
bill, 1 have received large numbers Of
personal letters and petitions from labor
organizations Of great many different
classes, asking me as a member Of this
body to support the bill, calling my at
tention in pathetic language to the losses
of life occasioned by the railway traffic
of the country, and largely from the
want of proper appliances.
"Mr. President, another word in refer
ence to the argument that to comply
with the terms of this bill would cost q
large amount of money. What does it
matter how much it costs? If it is
something that should be done by the
carriers Of the country, it is their busi-
ness to see that it is done; and if 1T is
not done, it is the business Of the con-
gress Of the United States to see that
they are compelled to do it. The life of
one citizen, the life Of one engineer, the
life Of one brakeman or one fireman, the
life of one section hand is worth in the
mintage Of heaven a whole railroad, Mr..
President.
II have no quslms Of conscience about
commanding the corporations Of the
country to obey the law. They are the
creatures Of the law; all that they have
the law gives to them; and the people of
this country, especially the farGers and
the workmen, have been trsmpled upon
by these railway corporations until they
are crying out in despair almost, and
asking that congress take hold Of this
subject and compel respect to the pub
lie will. Those corporations are not
only the creatures Of congress, but they

PETER said:
"Mr. President, I do not desire to take
part in the discussion Of the bill, and will
therefore not detain the senate more
than a minute or two. / desire, how
ever, to simply make one or two obser'

SIN the discussion of the bill yesterday
some remarks dropped from the lips OF
at least one senator--and / refer to the
senator from Colorado Mr.. Wolcottl in
which it seemed to me that that senator
criticised rather hRrshly one or two very
useful and very respectable classes Of
citizens Of this country. One Of those
classes was designated as "the average
granger, " referring to the farmers Of the
country, and / gathered from the re-
marks of the senator that he was i'm

this floor who favored the bill were pan.
dering to the prejudices and trying to
curry favor with the farmers of the coun-
try; that, in addition to that, this par
ticular class Of people, designated under
the general term "the average granger"
is class whose views are not worthy of
respect in this body.
"In reference to that I desire to say
that to the farmers of this country we
owe about all that we are. The farmers
were they who came to American shores
in the Mayhower largely, and about the
first thing the first settlers of the coun-
try engaged in was that of farming. The
farmers Of this country have cleared
away the forests, they have opened up
the highways, they have established COM
merce, until to-day the internal trade of
the United States exceeds in value and in
weight the combined foreign commerce
OF all the nations of the earth. The
farmers we're the pioneers of the country,
and to-day they are the peers of any
and all classes of citizens. / am pleased,
Mr.. President, to stand here in behalf of
the farmers Of the country, not espe-
cially commissioned to DO so, but because
l happen to know something about the
trials and hRrdships and tribulstions of
farm life, and because know something
about what the farmers of this country
have done.
"Then the senator in his remarks re-
ferred to another class of citizens as
those who, haviug no property of their
own, are desirious Of meddling with the
affairs Of all the persons who have prop.
erty. That, as 1 gathered from the sem
stor's remarks, referred to the working
people OF the country, the men with
darkened hands and hardened muscles,
