On both hands; our umbrellas are there

walk comes to an end, and we find
that cabs have become big item IN

Politics and Legislation,

, 1t has indeed become an unfortu.
nate state of affairs where a contain
mated general assembly. such as
now disgraces Illinois, is so incom-
petent to purge itself of its own in
Equities and vindicate it's honor that
political parties are called upon to
reailirm their adherence to the prin-
ciples of decency and public obliga-
ton. Purity in politics, however,
can only be insured by honesty in
practice, as well as of purpose, and
1T therefore becomes the duty of a
party TO reassert it's good faith to the
people where breach of that faith is
apparent.
We are glad the republican party
Of the state has awakened to n reali-
cation of the corruption that has
been going on at Springfield, and if
the democratic party feels that it's
cooperation is necessary to bring
about the proper investigation, en-
posture and punishment and the es-
tablishment of honesty on the part of
those entrusted with sacred obliga-
ton, all good citizens will applaud
such course-but the drag net will,

The reported friyhtful massacre O.

The reported frightful massacre OF
white settlers at Jackson's Hole by
Bannock Indians again emphasizes
the fact that the authorities are apt
to be conservative to diliatory de-
gree in dealing with uprisinys OF
whatsoever kind, especially on the
part of the Indians. There is little
satisfaction to be gained from driving
band of these devils back into their
reservation after they have sutchered
a settlement of whites, including in
nocent women and children. The
sooner the government becomes con-
WINGED that the only good Indian is a
dead Indian, the sooner will the ad-

such diabolical crime as has been

LARGEST DAILY CITY CIRCULATION
pHRLIC SGHOOLS.

One of the many blessed heritages
 the American people enjoy over most Nations is its present system of public schools. The unequaled in telligence of the masses, the match less skill of American artisans and their remarkable productive capac- ity, creating in century, an amount of wealth that even many Of the old- est Nations have never attained, and the general prosperity, may all be attributed, in a great measure, to our efficient school system. The American people early appreciated the necessity of general and thorough education, and wisely inan- gurated system that would meet these requirements. As a result, whereas century ego she was a de- pendent province of England, she now stands the mightiest of Nations, the grandest Republic the world has ever seen, and an example of growth and prosperity unparalleled and un- dreamed of. It is hardly possible to overestimate the Evalue of educa- tion. As it is the ''cheap defense of aNation, it is also Nations most stable foundation. Though Athens and Rome, with all their art, poetry, and philosophy, fell, these acquire ments were not known to the com mon people, and it is the enlighten- ment of the masses, not the classes, that the strength of a Nation de- pends upon.
 vIn this city the public schools have just opened under the most flattering conditions. More stu dents are enrolled than were ever known before, and it is evident that our school building, though en- larged and added to only year ago, arc yet inadequate. The schools have also been rendered more efficient by the addition of an able and experienced Superintend- ent, who has already made many i'm provements in the schools. Higher grades are also likely to be added soon, and person may get splen- did education at home without any cost.
