Answers Unlawfully Obtained.

To WHOM 1T MAY Concern
Information has como to me that
certain persons have unlawfully OBJ
tanned the questions and answers pre-
pared by this department for the
public examination of teachers and
have by letters attempted to sell the
same to applicants for license. Public
examinations are intended by law to
test the qualifications of teachers by
legal questions, the answers to which
are to be supplied by the teachers
themselves. BY these answers the
signature of an officer is ob,alned to a
certificate which enables the holder to
obtain public money. Section 1645 OF
the statutes makes 1t larceny for any
person who. with intent to defraud or
cheat another, shall designedly, by
coler Of any false token or writing, or
by any other false pretense, obtain a
signature of any person to any written
instrument.
In the interest of the public schools
I ask the papers of the State to pub
lish this notice. Respectfully,

Supt. Public Instruction.

Referendum In Illinois.

In Illinois the referendum is to
have a pratical trial. The Demo
cratic Executive Committee of
Calhoun County met recently and,
in issuing the call fora county pri.
mary, ordered that there should be
printed on the tickets to be used
on that occasion both the negative
and affirmative of the proposition
for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. The negative will hardly
receive enough votes to count in
that county, and the affirmative
will include, practically, the entire
voting population.
Calhoun County's referendum is
not expected to determine at once
and forever the question which
Congress seems unable to deter.
mine at all. But it will serve notice
to a spring candidates for Con-
gress and the Senate who opposed
the Bland bill of 1890, for which
the Sherman law became a substi-
tute. that the Democrats of CAL
houn County know what they
don't want. The chief value of
the action of the Calhoun com nit
tee, however, will be by way of
example. We should like much
to see it followed by Illinois Re.
publicans in their county primaries
as a practical means ofdem monstrat.
ing how far Senator Cullom mis-
represented his party sentiment in
voting against the Bland seignior.
age bill.
Illinois, with its reference to
great public questions to the local
political divisions of the State, is
taking the lead in movement
toward more extensive use of
the referendum in the administra-
ton of public affairs Republic.

Microbes ON Post ards.

The latest scare in microbes has
been started by Professor Uffel.
man, Of Rostock, who infected a
letter with cholera bacilli and put
it into a post bag. When the let
ter was taken out, 23A hours later,
the bacilli were still alive. Bacilli
were also found living on post
cards twenty hours after infection,
The heterogeneous were found
to die rapidly when placed upon
coins. A fly charged with cholera
bacilli was afterward placed on
some beef A little later the meat
was found to be swarming with
bacteria. A finger was infected
with cholera bacilli and dried. One
hour later the finger was rubbed
on some roast meat, and numerous
bacilli developed subsequently,

Consolidated Elections.

Those who oppose the consoli-
dation OF elections in Arkansas
urge that it would be unwise at
the present time. They are ap.
prehensive that the Republicans
might come into power again, re-
enact the federal election laws, and
through the use ofsupervisOrs and
deputy United States marshals
carry the election to suit them
selves. This fear is groundless. In
the first place the Republicans
have no immediate prospect of
controlling the three branches of
the government, and in the next
place if such a misfortune should
befall the country they would be
unable to re-enact the federal
election laws. The laws repealed
were really a part Of the recon-
struction laws enacted for the pur-
pose of controlling elections in
certain sections of the country,
and the Republican party with its
combined strength could not re-
enact them.
And even if these laws were re-
enacted by some future congress
it would be an easy matter for the
governor of Arkansas to call a
SPECIAL session of the legislature
who could again separate the cleo
tions and thus thwart the purposes

Senator John 7. Morgan.

Hon. Jno. 7. Morgan, of Ala.
bama, few days since in the SEN
ate made clear his position on the
Senate Tariff bill. He is always
found in line with his party and in
the front ranks. He asked Sena-
tor Hill, who had the floor, to
yield to him for few moments as
he desired to make an explana.
ton or statement, which, he said,
might be called personal Of politi-
cal. He read an extract from an
article in a New York evening
paper of a recent date, comment
ing upon the manifesto of the
Minnesota Democracy against GER

ate, as it came from the Finance

it, without any amendments what

United States Senate chamber last
week, was neither surprising nor
That unique figure
in American politics, having made
a deal with the enemies of the
party to which he processes to hold
and certainly owes allegiance, he
has been assiduously advertising
the fulfillment of his part of the
contract for some time. Yester-
day he carried out this announced
programme in SO far as lie was
capable of doing it. That is, he
put his little wedge into the crack
which he had previously helped to
create and hit few feeble strokes.
1t didn't go very far, but that
wasn't his fault. He did the best
he could to keep his contract with
Mr.. Chandler of New Hampshire.
Mr.. Hill, agreeably to his bar
gain with the Republicans, set out
10 oppose the Democratic plan of
reforming the tariff. He predica-
ted his opposition on an antipathy
to the income tax feature Of the
pending bill. That was wise if he
had done it well. But he didn't.
Before he could reach the point in
view he had to diverge from his
line to attack the President
through the State department.
That wasn't wise. But madmen
are not usually wise, and Mr.. Hill
is no exception. In losing his
temper he has violated his agree.
ment with Mr.. Chandler. That
cunning politician doesn't pay fol-
blunders. He paid Mr.. Hill, in
like service, for inuring the Dem
ocratic party. Mr.. Hill only in
jured himself. Mr.. Chandler ex
pected him to betray the Demo
cratic party. He only betrayed
his own hopes and expectations
and exhibited his disappointments
Mr.. Hill is opposed to the in
come tax, he says, and therefore
he resists the fulfillment of Demo
cratic pledges in other importan
respects. Other men are opposet
to the income tax, but they reason
that this is government of com
promises, and individual opinions
must yield occasionally to the
judgment of the majority. Tha
is the basis of Democracy, tn
foundation of harmony. Mr.. Hill
will hardly claim that he is bette
than other men. He says he is
Democrat and iterates and reiter
ates the boast. But there ar
other Democrats who add the vii
tue of modesty to the perfection
of political alignment, and the,
support the tariff bill for the goo,
it will do. Mr.. Hill repudiates th
