Long Lost Medal Found.

Mr.. Aug. Thiele, the winner Of
the first-class prize offered by the
San Antonio Gun club for best
shooting and who lost the golden
medal on the 10Th of April after he
had worn it the second time, is
very happy today because the
missing trophy has been found
and returned to him. A colored
man came in with it and says he
found it on the sidewalk near Com
merce street bridge. He afterward
saw in the Daily LIGHT, an item
referring to Mr.. Thiele's loss, and
thought if there was any reward
he would return the jewel. He was
handsomely rewarded by Mr..
Thiele, who afterward set up some
thing to the boys, who were be-
ginning to ask silly questions and
to form surmises as to where Mr..
Thiele really did lose the medal.
Some of them even advanced the
probability that the cOlored man
had found the medal attached to a
bit of torn lace off a lady's sleeve,
hanging over picket gate on one
of the fashionable avenues.

WOLFF & MARX.

A petition, numerousiy signed
by members of the San Antonio
club is being circulated among the
most prominent citizens of the
city, asking Gen. Wheaton, COM
mander of the department OF Tex
as, to give the order necessary for
the procuring of the military
band, at Fort Sam Houston, to
continue the evening concert on
Alamo plaza so favorably begun
by Prof. Garcia's string orchestra.
The paper has already a large
number of names and will be pre-
sented at an early day. The sign
ers guarantee to furnish free trans,
portation to the band from Fort
Sam Houston to Alamo plaza and
return on every evening they may
play. General Wheaton, at pres.
ent, is travelling in Mexico, but, ii
is hoped, will act upon the petition
favorably upon his return.

IAN EGoTIsTIC DEMAND. -

At the last session of the city council,
Mr.. G. w. Ogden petitioned that body not
to allow the right of way to the Gulf
Shore railway, through certain streets OF
the city, because, as he claims IL would
diminish or reduce the value OF his
property and that he would be compelled
to cross two railroad tracks on his way to
the city.
demand or claim presented to the council?
Is an enterprise from which city and
country will profit So largely to be OBJ
structed in this manner because Mr.. Og-
den objects to crossing two rail roads?
His second excuse, that it would reduce
the value of his property is fallacy since
on the contrary it would gain In value in
the near future.
Mr.. Ogden has found opposition In the
council who did not come TO a final resolve
but postponed the matter 20 a special
meeting for final action.
In the meantime Mr.. Ogden circulated
petition among his neighborS, in which
the refusal of the right. ofway Is prayed
for. Signatures were obtained, some even
by Misrepresentation, bat the council
should not be influenced by this, as most
OF the citizens in the vicinity do not
harmonic with the petition, but on the
contrary. they condemn the measures as
an hindrance to the building of the road.
1t must seem strange that Mr.. Ogden
should have taken trip to Houston to-
day instead of appearing before the coun-
Gil TO defend his doubtful protests.
1t is to be hoped that the council will
have the welfare of the city at large
more at heart than those of Mr.. Ogden.

SHOULD GRADED SCHOOLS BE
ABOLISHED?

In the operation of the school laws
of 1892 it is found that there is a
collision of interests in some of the
towns where chartered graded school
districts exist, the rural sections be-
ing sufferers. Bills for destroying
these charters have been introduced
in the legislature and the subject is of
much interest in many localities. d
While the object Of the legislature
is to enact laws which shall result in
the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber, it behooves law makers to guard
we'll those who have certain rights.
The graded school in Vermont is
that school in the city or larger vii
lage which perforce has large num-
Der Of pupils. The grading is the as
sortment of pupils according to age
and advancement in certain rooms
and departments where they can be
best and most conveniently taught.
The graded school has, as a rule, a
large grand list behind it and receives
a good proportion Of the SO called
+
low that the graded school district
runs it's schools on small taxes. The
expense Of running four, six, ten
schools, as the case demands, is so
Increased that the school tax in such
graded school districts averages high
er than the cost under the old system
to the average school district, and we
suppose it is higher in most towns
now, where there is one or more grad
ed districts, than in the town outside.
The graded district usually has a
high grade attachment, an academy
department, where pupils may pur-
sue the higher branches to a college
preparation. This necessitates the
employment OF one or more high
cost teachers and adds largely to the
expense of the district Schools of
this sort, as rule, have better school
buildings, better helps and expend
more for incidentals. In the nature
of the case, the cost of all these is
such that taxes are heavy. These
schools are an advantage to outlying
sections. Tuition is low and children
coming into the villages get their
schooling at less cost than it could
be obtained in the town outside.
Hence, where these districts exist,
the advantages Of their schools can
be had by the town outside at very
economical rates.
1t is impossible to overcome some
disadvantages suffered in undesirable
sections by legislation; the remote
sections and scarce populated regions
can not have the same school, re-
lgious and social privileges which are
had in other localities, and the legis-
lature can not adjust all difficulties.
Those villages which have taxed
themselves to build costly school
buildings can not give them away to
their mountain neighbors unless on
the fairest basis of compensation.

fish. 1t is not necessary to legislate
Or to spend money in their behalf.
And SO in a great measure in regard
to game. All ordinary game is slaugh-
tered contrary to law, or Will be de-
stroyed by troops Of hunters in the
"open season." If partridges were
as thick as sparrows, the hunters
would depopulate their haunts every
fall. 1t is true, doubtless, that deer
have increased under the law, but not
a few of them are killed every year,
and somebody in the legislature in
PRODUCES bill to permit the destruc-
ton of deer. This enacted into law
would help to end up the matter of
the deer at once. Let the fish and
game laws rest unless it is deemed
best to repeal the whole business.

FREE TEXT BOOKS.

The effort to provide free text books
for the common schools will be made
during the present session of the leg
islature. The subject has been pretty
generally discussed through the State
by means of the press, educational
meetings, school Institutes, the report
of the State Superintendent Of schools
and the message Of Gov. Fuller.
1t is pretty well proven that the
system is thing of great economy to
the people Of the State, and that it is
far better for school children. The
best and present proposition is that
each town provide it's own books. Su
perintendent Stone has investigated
the matter thoroughly and recon-
mends the town as being better than
the State system. The method will
be great saving to the poor and to
those who have large families to sup
ply. On the other hand, those who
pay large taxes, those who have no
children to school and some other in
terests are liable to complain of law
of this kind. The question for the
legislature to consider is whether the
public good will be better conserved
by law of this sort. Other States
have adopted it and it seems to best
meet public interests.

BARTON, VERMONT, MONDAY OCTOBER % 1894.

1t would seem that any inequali-
ty of rights existing in towns where
there are graded schools might be
best reached by making low tuition
rates, Or by some just distribution of
the school moneys. If graded dis
tricts claim their right Of existence
according to law, let them go on, and,
on the other hand, if they are not
paying a just share of school tax in
their respective towns, let the school
moneys be SO adjusted as to make a
practical equality all around.

LET ALONE OR REPEAL.

Two years ago the legislature devot-
p much time to the revision and
erfection of the fish and game laws
the State. Almost everything on
! e statutes was repealed, or amended
bd a new law of about 60 sections
as enacted. The work was perform
! by All intelligent and painstaking
|mmittee, and was, without doubt,
Pll done. There would seem to be
special need of law tinkering in
is line this year. We notice, how
er, that the wise legislators have
gun already to introduce bills of
rious sorts on the fish and game
ing and considerable time will be
I'd or wasted on it. The legislature
Nays recreates little in this i'm

The Japanese continue their vic
tories, though it is extremely difficult
to follow the course Of their armies,
since they have out several separate
expeditions from which we get only
occasional news. The progress Of the
contest is an instructive object lesson
in the science of war. The Japanese
army is officered by men who have
either had the training abroad, or who
have been thoroughly drilled a. home
by competent European or American
instructors, while the Chinese army
is sadly behind the times. It's officers
hav little or no idea of military tao
ties, and the troops are practically
an undisciplined mob. They are arm
ed with antiquated and worthless mus
kets, and in some cases with nothing
but bows and arrows. Providence is
not SO much on the side Of the heaviest
battalions as of the best military
science.
