Judge Wexford spoke OF the part that
Virginia and Richmond had played in
the history and achievement OF this

the Old Dominion. His remarks were
received with generous applause.

so grand and imposing.

Our TERRITORIAL Superintend :
ent OF. Public instruction, f. J.
Nethcrton, is making for himself
record of which his friends, feel
justly proud.
In its mention of the proceedings
of the late Territorial institute at
Tucson, Tucson paper says:
"Education in Arizona" by Ter
ritorial Superintendent of Public
instruction F. J. Netherton, was to
judge from the frequent applause
and the remarks heard on all sides
during the intermission, the most
satisfactory paper Of the session.
He makes the school laws the basis
of every school system, and any
improvements in the laws will oper-
ate directly to the betterment of
the schools. He advocated law
to compel nice buildings and sur
roundings for the teachers and
pupils, and AMPLE apparatus; tho
paying, of trustees for labor and
time actually used in school work;
competent examining boards, who
will see to it that none but fit teach.
ers are granted the right to teach;
he also gave illustrations Of the re-
suits of incompetent and unfit ex-
aiming boards in this territory;
referring to and justifying the ter
ritorial board of education in it's
action regarding territorial diplo-
mas. He also made plea for good
pay for competent teachers, and
high standard of examinations to
shut out the unfit ones; high schools
in the territory should be establish
ed and maintained; uniform series
of text books, furnished to pupils
without cost to them; that in
primary grades children be not ad-
mitted and thus allowed to break
the grading, other than at begin
ming of the terms; equal pay for
competent lady teachers with males;
recognition by the laws of the Arr
| IONA Teachers Association, and
closed with a few encouraging
words to teachers and reminder
that If teachers would ameliorate
their conditions they must look out
for themselves. A short recess
was then taken.
Prof. Lee, of Phoenix, stated
that he considered the paper of
Supt. Netherton, on Education in
Arizona" as a most valuable pro-
duction which should be placed in
the hands of every teacher in the
territory, and moved that it be
printed in pamphlet form and dis
tributed throughout the territory.
Prof. Wollam amended the motion
to include that it also be printed in
the papers of Che territory so far as
practicable, in which the motion

THE OLD STORY.
PEOPLE WHO DEAL WITH THE
STATE MUST QUOTE SAN
FRANCISCO PRICES.

| FRANCISCO PRICES.
This is about the time of the year
when the State of Nevada lays in its
supplies for the coming year. The
State Board Of Printing Com missioners
has sent out circular to stationers
IN this city which opens as follows:
Bids will be received by the Board
of State Printing Commissioners of
the State of Nevada, up to and in
ciudlrg December 10, 1894, for the
furnishing of such stationery rs may
be required to perform the State
printing for the State of Nevada for
the two years commencing January
/, 1894, and ending December 81,
1896. Bids to state the price at San
Frsncisco, The State t" pay freight
on such stationery as may be re-
quired to be delivered in Carson
City, the stationery to be of the best
quality, delivered at such times and
IN such quantities as the Board may
order after December 10, 1894, as
near az may he, in the following
quantities.
A law passed at the last session of
the Legislstu re provided that all sup
plies for the State of Nevada should
be purchased of merchants doing
business in this State, and they were
allowed under the provisions of the
bill profit of ten per cent above tie
San Francisco rates and freight added.
The circular cuts them down to no
profit at all, and a merchant would
be fool to sell the State goods at
the prices they are required to pay
in San Francisco. The requirements
of this bill practically shut out the
Nevada merchants, and evades the
law by throwing the business into
the hands of the San Francisco
dealer The law has been dead
letter ever since it passed, because
there happens to be, unfortunately.
no legal penalty attached, but after
the next session there will probably

farce. and the closing paragraph rem

BEGINS TO LOOK SERIOUS.
Comedy Is Said to Be Now Passing
to the Rear.


Massilon, o., March 24.-Coxey's pc
tition in boots to march to Washing
ton has not yet materialized, though
the time scheduled for the start is to-
morrow. About twenty newspaper cor
respondents are here. So far they out
number the army.
Comedy is now passing to the rear
in the CoXey movement. Men who
had been inclined to laugh at the army
as a visionary enterprise, admit there
is much seriousness behind it.
Mayor Reed. of Massilon, who has up
to this time, scoffed at the whole thing,
tonight swore in twenty extra police
men, who will go on duty tomorrow
morning. The hotels of this city are
crowded and the streets are packed
with strangers tonight, and more peo-
pie are coming in on every train.
The actual enlistments now number
125, and the soldiers are being organic
ed into groups of five, with an officer
in every group. Patrols have been sta
toned and all stragglers are kept away
from the camp.
Only the newspaper men and those
who have enlisted are admitted. Cox
ey and Brown say there are certainly
200 men in sight this evening and 9TH
erS are coming all the time.
A mysterious stranger, whose name
cannot be learned, has appeared at
headquarters. He is a big, handsome,
well-dressed man, and has been given
the title of marshal and has conducted
most of the enlistments. He is a strict
disciplinarian and appears to be a born
leader
