APPEAL FOR AID.

Farmers in Nebraska Suffering From
Lack Of Food and Clothing.
The destitution in the Western
Nebraska counties devastated by
drought, is growing daily. Mayor
Bemis, of Omaha, has written an
appeal for aid in which he says
"Families are on the verge Of
starvation; mothers have nothing
in which to wrap their babes, and
no clothing for themselves, except
dresses made from gunny saeking /;
underwear and shoes are almost
unknown, and fuel is a Injury only
to be dreamed of. 1 believe that
our citizens should make special
effort to extend all possible as
sistance to the sufferers in our
state outside our city. II would be
a fitting manner of giving thanks
for our citizens to contribute to-
ward relieving the sufferings of
these people. What is needed is
clothing of all kinds and descrip-
tions and food of all sorts.

The location Of the early Para
disc. or Garden of Eden, is stiIl q
matter of dispute among Oriental
lists and Scriptnral scholars of high
est reputation. Some have endeav-
ored to locate it by the frnits and
mineral productions named in the
biblical descriptions as they appear
in the second chapter of Genesis,
Others by the rivers mentioned in
verses IL to II of the above men
toned chapter. The weight Of in
vestigation and tradition incline to
an agreement that the Tigris and
the Enphrates of modern geography
are the third and fourth rivers men,
toned in the biblical description OF
the garden. Those who agree so
far differ widely as to what rivers
should now be regarded as the
ancient Pison and Gihon. The Bud
histIc scholars, although they re-
ject our Bible in the greater part,
inclined to the opinion that the Pts
on is the sacred Gangles, and that
the Gi6on is mono other than the
Nile, as to the last it is altogether
probable that they are correct on
that point because the biblical ac-
count plainly says that Gihon
sscompasseth the whole land of
Ethiopia" Some Investigations af.
firm that Eden was spot of com
paratiyely small area located on the
table lands of what is now Armenia,
from which rise the Tigris and the
Euphrates. A few scholars of dis
tinction argue that the Adamic Par
disc was located in Africa, in the
vicinity of the Mountains of the
Moon. Still another school of ori-
entalists located the celebrated gar
den in the vicinity of the ancient
city of Babylon.
You will notice, however, that
none of those theorists have been
able to get the four rivers mention
edin the biblical account properly
located; neither have they found a
place whore one great river separ-
ates into four heads. This being
the case it is hardly necessary to
add that the exact location of Eden
is a mystery that will probably new
er be solved.

If the Withdrawals of gold indi-
cate to Mr. Carlisle that the sale Of
bonds viii result in DO net gain Of
gold to the treasury, his obvious
duty is 10 reject all bids and refuse
to sell bonds until he can get the
gold needed for strengthening the
reserve
Our currency laws have been
botched and monkeyed until they
are a fit subject for derision and
contempt Bimetalism has been
put of with bullion bribes until
silver has fallen to relation with
gold which staggers any prudent
tinancier who has desired a restora-
tion of the old coinage ratio.
The gold reserve is at the mercy
of sharps and spectators. The
world cannot restrain a guffaw at
the impotence of the treasury to
borrow gold without first furnish
ing the metal to the lenders.
Secretary Carlisle should stop
the issue of bonds atonce unless the
gold is to como from some other
source than the United States
treasury He is not put to any
necessity of borrowing gold. The
country has faith in the currency
soundness. if it laughs at tho
hodgepodge of its composition. A
small temporary deficit in meeting
current federal expenses would be
better than a futile issue of bonds.
Show a bold front to the sharps,
spectators, bond schemes and gold
shippers.-iSt Louis Republic.

Chicago as a village.

The first coal which was shipped
into Chicago for commercial pur-
poses reached the steamboat dock,
near the foot of State street, in the
fall of 1s4s, consigned to Charles A.
Reno, the pioneer of the coal trade.
He has not been engaged actively
in business for many years, but his
interest in the intricate problems of
the trade is as keen as ever, and
every day in the year, when it is
not too stormy, he leaves his pleas
ant home on Walnut street, to go
down town and visit the haunts of
coal merchants. During the year
1s4S he was the only coal dealer in
the city, and 5000 tons was suffici-
ent TO meet all demands of the trade,
and most of this was consumed by
steamboats, plying the lakes. One
horse and small ademocratn Wag-
on was able to supply the whole re-
tail trade of the city, nor was one
wagon able to carry through the
bottomless ways of early Chicago
much more than strong man can
wheel over the pavements to day.
And now, only forty-six years alter
wards, in the lifetime of the man
who shipped the first ton of coal to-
Chicago, and of many of the men
who were his first customers, the
first man to burn coal within the
city's present limits, the annual con-
sumption approximates 4.0O0, goo
tons, handled by l,2OO firms which
employ an army of men in stores,
offices, on railroads, on steamboats,,
by the wharves, on the streets and
in the mines.

T. S. Riley,
The Public Schools.

The education of youth must be
under the control of men who know
what education is. There is NO
stimulus for awakening a mind like
the contact with another mind SUI
perior to it. There is no way to
create an ideal of a good and useful
life SO powerful as the contact with
a high and noble character. In the
early and impressionable years these
influences of superior intelligence
and noble character tell most. The
awakening of the mind is the most
difficult task sthe educator has.
Therefore for the lowest schools
are needed teachers of high cuIti-
yation and high aims. And these
tine qualities win count for more
there than in any other stage of the
progress of the youth into citizen
ship.
The education of a mind depends
with here and there an exception,
upon the influence on it of a super
Tor mind, and preparation for a
useful life depends also upon con-
tact with superior character in the
formative period. This influence is
not the property of machine,
though the machine has its uses in
training into habits of order, method
and routine. The teacher is the only
inspirer. If his personal influence is
lacking to the pupil, the scholar
may be passed along through the
whole graded system and finally
emerge from a college with mind
unawakened.@Er.

When Do School Onieers Take Ohice

To School Ofieers Present Incum.
bents and Officers Eeleet
Numerous inquiries relative to the
construction of Section 2 Of the
Amended School Law. of 1898. have
recently reached this Department
and SO different have been these IN
lquiries, that I doomed It best to
Esnbmit the matter to Hon. T. S.
Riley, the States Attorney General,
and from him / have received the
following opinion
State of West Virginia,
Office of Attorney General.
WHEELING, Nov. "a, 1895.
Hon. Virgil A. Lewis, State Super
intendent of Free Schools,
Charleston. W Va
Dean. SIR ;-aIn response to your
inquiry of reference to the time the
School Officers elected on the 9th
of November, 1894, take Office, /
beg to submit the following
The first psrt of Section ?, Chap
ter 26, of Acts of 1898, provides
substantially, that the school OH
GERS, elected at the November
election, 1894, shall serve for four
| years and that their terms of office
shall commence on tho first day of
July, following their elections.
The last clause of the same sec
ton provides that the terms of the
officers elected at the May election,
1893, shall expire as soon as their
successors are elected and qualified.
These two provisions being part
of the same section must be con
strued together, and if possible
made to harmonize. The first pro-
vision in plain terms provides that
the terms of Office shall be for four
years, and that they shall begin on
the first day of July following their
election.
The term cannot begin before the
time fixed by law, and it is, there
fore, clear that the newly elected
officers do not take their office until
that time. The old officers hold
until their Successors are elected
and qualified. While it is true the
officers may take the oath of office
any time after they are declared
elected yet they cannot take Office
until the time fixed by law for the
term to begin has arrived, and in
the meaning of this section are not
qualified to hold the cffice until that
time.
1 am, therefore, of the opinion
that the old officers hold office until
the first of July next. This applies
to members of the Board of Edu-
cation as well as to County Super
tendents." Yours truly,
T. S. Riley,
Attorney General.
From the above opinion all ques-
tions as to when the official terms
of present officials expire, or when
the terms of their successors those
elected on the 9th ult.-commence,
is clearly determined by existing
law. Yours most obediently,
VIRGIL A. LEWIS,
State Superintendent of Free
Schools.

The Republican newspapers are
now noting the improvement in
business and attributing it, Of
course to the late election. just as
we predicted it would be before the
election was held, but one fact re-
mains that should be also kept in
view, and that is that every new
thing that is started up is under
the Democratic Senate Tariff Bill,
and is a bill that cannot be repealed
for at least three years. Therefore,
if the country improves and pros
pers it should be credited to that
bill and not to the election of a Re-
publican congress that is helpless
to enact any law either for or.
against the tariff unless 1t meets the
approval of the Democrats, because
the President will veto any bill
that passes, and he is Democrat.
