School Commissioners

ers met on Tuesday. Messrs. Ev
erist, Ash and White present.
The matter of selecting lot for a
school at Colora was taken up and
discussed. The petition of r. l..
Christie and others against the

that the good people of Colora
would furnish a suitable lot on the
top of the hill free of cost. This
proposition will, if made good, be
/ accepted.
Mr.. White was authorized to
have school No. 5, Ninth district,
white Oak repaired.
Mr.. Ash was authorized to have
some repairs made at the colored
school at Cecilton and a slate black
board put in the st. Augustine
school.

Association to hold county asso-
citation quarterly at Elkton was CON
sidered. 1t was thought better to

ed by law. The President of the
Board selected Elkton as the place.

Education, Prof. Prettyman, will
name the time.

wonderfully and thoroughly the
times have changeds If not &C
back in your mind to period
prior to 1870 and compare the con-

Should one rise from the dead OF
those periods he would scarcely

Let those of middle age and
older think for a moment and they
will realize this startling fact. We
have been so quietly steared into
old world systems that but few
people realize the change which has
come over them.

REGISTERED AND VOTING.

Out of a registered vote of 685S, 52oc
votes were polled. Where were the 1855
absentees? The half of those names
should not be on the list, possibly more.
They are of deceased persons or persons
who have left the county
The defect in Cecil's local option law,
and in every law of that class, is the drug
store privilege, which is VIGOROUSLY
abused by some druggists. A druggist
should be appointed-one in each of the
principal towns i'll the county-and paid a
small salary to sell alcoholic liquors for
medicinal, scientific and mechanial pur-
poses, and those special agents supplied
with inspected liquors, by the county to
be sold only as the law directed. This
defective druggist law should be amended,
and if the prohibition element indepen-
dent of all political parties would form a
county association with district branches,
they could send prohibition delegation
to the legislature next fall, and to every
legislature in future, that could be de.
pended upon to have the necessary
amendments to the law passed and more
they could have the law made perpetual
with no more quadrilateral contests
whether a lot of rummies, the majority Of
whom have mighty shaky characters
should have the opportunity to sponge al
idle life off of the industrial members o.
the community. A large majority of these
chaps in the county are pretending tc
keep hotels, when all know their estab
lishments are low groggeries only.

The Wing saws:

"Not for many years has there
been such scenes of drunkenness
and disorder as were witnessed here
last Saturday night, on account OF
the free use of money for making
votes for license. But it made
many votes against license, as many
license advocates were so disguised
that they voted against it on Tues
day"
Which was a case of yaulting
ambition DER leaping itself and
falling on the other side.

Woman Suffrage.

There are always large num-
Der of people to champion every
obscure issue of reform and pro-
gress, and these people are gener-
ally found scattered more or less
thickly all over the world. But
the people of the South have rea-
son to feel gratifed that this part
of the country is free from the
woman suffrage fiend. The wo-
men of the South do not aspire to
grasp empire and sacrifice home,
modesty, and the refining inHu-
ence which she alone can shed on
the circle around the hearthstone.
"The hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world" may be true SO
long as the mothers rock the cra-
die. But when they divide that
care and responsibility with the
father, the trite saying just quot
ed will be forgotten, or only un-
earthed from musty old volumes
to cause wonder to the advanced
statesmen and sociologists of the
future.
Those who fondly look forward
to the emancipation" of woman
as the cure for political evils will
find that in grasping at shadow
they have lost the substance; that
while the former queen of the
home is dragging her skirts in the
political filth of ward politics, the
home is going to the bow-wows.
This must be the inevitable con.
sequence if the women avail them
selves of the privilege which theil
champions would accord them
the women of the home, we mean
But suppose the women of th'
homes, the wives the mothers
have too much sense to exercise
their privilege and choose to re
main at home instead of attend
ing the polls, the political meet
ings. and entering the excitemen
of the political battle-then? /
is q notorious and unfortunat
fact that the best class of men re
frain too much from politics. Ant
this is one great danger to goo'
government. If, then, our politi
tics repel 80 many good men
while they attract go many rascal
can we doubt that they woul
repel n large proportion of goo
women? And no one can dout
that politics would become tn
: field, the lucrative field, for man
q willy adventures who would b
the cause of the destruction
many a happy home. That thei
results have not been reporte
from New Zealand or Wyomin
where woman suffrage is allowe'
has no weight as argument. Thei
things have not had time to dew
lop. This they will do all t.
soon.
Our ancestors may have concl
ded that because they could co
duct the elections with honest
going around from one to snoth
with a hat for a hallot box, tn
therefore corruption would nev
show its head.
May the hoped for reform
the advocates of woman suffra
never come.-Iberville South.

The Outlook In Chicago.

I have lust returned from making
Populist speech in Chicago. It was on
last Saturday in Central Music Hall, =
one of the largest halls in the great
city:-it was literally packed to the
roof and every seat occupied. No
charge Of admission was made and yet
tickets were given out in advance for
each seat, SO as to prevent a mob.
The overflow audience filled two other
great halls. A procession of many
thousands marched thr ugh the
streets carrying torches and banners.
1t was the most uproarious and en-
thusiastic crowd / ever looked upon,
and yet there were hundred Of ladies
and people Of the middle class present,
some drawn by sympathy and others
by curiosity
Mr.. Eugene V. Debs spoke first and
the reception he received was per-
feet ovation 1t lasted for several
minutes. He is tall, slim, pleasant
looking, able man. and very interest
ing and effective speaker. He is I'M
dergoing trial which may send him
to prison, and he spoke with clearness
and force, but uttered no word that
could be tortured into use against
him. He declared that there was not
a single anarchist in his great rail-
road society,-the A. r. Z. lie urged
all Workingmen to join the Peoples
Party and reform abuses at the ballot
box We hope to soon publish foil
report of those great meetings and
the speeches. We may be able to get
it ready for our Campaign Boom Edi-
ton. Don't you want some copies?
If so send in your order at once. We
think of getting it out next week
The reports we received were most
encouraging. The Populists are going to
carry Chicago. That is the belief Of
our friends. In one ward with $3.50
votes l 900 were enrolled in the Peo-
pies Party clubs.
The outlook Of the winter is dread
full. There are Gow between 60,000
and 100000 unemployed in Chicago.
How they will live through the winter
God alone knows. While ! was there
the discharged workmen around the
packing houses tried to break in to get
work, and were driven back by the
policcmcn's clubs. A contractor aG-
verified for one hundred men. Many
hundreds gathered, seized upon his
picks and shovels, refused to give
them up. and were ready to fight for
the privilege of working.
Either tue Peoples Party must sue
coed, and change their conditions
peaceably or we will have anarchy
and revolution in the worst forms.

tion of duties on imports. He was in
Europe when the new law was pas ed,
and while the terms of the measure
cannot be expected to wholly satisfy
so radical rcformer as he Judge
Blandin is disposed to let that matter
rest While the monetary system is re-
| formed. He has always been an adyo
cate Of the bi-metallic standard, but
was never SO confirmed in his belief
that in silver lies commercial salvation
! as since his visit to Europe. Every
where in the old country he found the

listed here. While times in America

| hard. they have been worse abroad.
Here the strngency was ascribed to
| the uncertainty of what was to be
| done in a tariff way. Judge Blandin,
baSiLg his conclusions on observation

depreciation Of the worlds financial
system in the cause of the business de-
preston which is universal. Until the
wrong is righted and the pale dollar
| restored to Responsibility and power,
| he says, there will be no commercial
| health here or elsewhere. The re-
Mobilization of silver, he argues, is
what the democracy should now fight
| for.
But the Demo eracy will not fight
| for the rehabilitation of silver. They
are in favor of free silycr-J-if John
Bull has no oIjtctjon.'
And John has serious objections.
We owe him hundreds of millions of
dollars of interest annually, on his in
vestments, aud he wants that inter-
est, naturally enough, in the scarcest
and dearest money ssIble-to wit,
gold:-and gold alone:-no silver in
his. If John could make one dollar
equal to ten bushels Of our wheat in
stead of one, (as it was when this vii
lainy was inaugurated, John would
be delighted. Wheat at ten cents per
bushel. How John would laugh. How
cheaply he could feed his starving pco-
pie.
The Democracy and the Republicans
and John Bull are all working togeth-
err to enrich England and impovcrish
the United States. What handsome
trio they are. Why shouldn't you vote
for them? /. ID.

Hard Times Not Due to the Tariff.

The Republicans tell US that the
hard times are due to the Democratic
tariff. This is nonsense: as we have
shown number of times. Read the
following from the Chicago Times
and be convinced that the real cause
of our troubles is the demonstration
of silver.

when we get the money question set

Chief Dale denied all knowledge of the

An Evening World' reporter visited
