Teacher., Sal aries CIT.

At the last meeting of the board of
directors of district No. considerable
business was transacted. 1t WAS deter
mined that the board should meet to-mor-
row for the selection Of teachers for the
ensuing year; and it was decided the
school year about to ensue should open
on the last Monday in September and
continue for eight months, exclusive Of
holiday vacations.
Several cuts were made in salaries for
the coming year, none, however, being
announced in the Office of principal Of
Of central school and superintendent,
who is to be allowed 1920 per year. The
principal Of Columbia school is to receive
$640 per year, cut of $40 per month; as.
sistant principal Of Central school, having
charge Of high school, $500 per year--s
cut Of $40 per month; teachers in the
eighth grade, $3.50 per year; such old
teachers, below the eighth grade, a. are
retained, $40 per year--s cut of IS per
month; all new teachers below the eighth
grade, $500 per year, cut Of $40 per
month. The board thus puts higher
valuation upon the work OF old teachers
than upon new ones; for the reason.
they say, that the old ones are familiar
with the work and their services are
therefore more valuable.
A teacher will this year be employed
for physical culture, drawing and music.
The board also granted the use of the
city school buildings to Supt. Brown and
Prof. Heiney, for use in normal work
during the summer.

samuel Dustnberfe fm Yakima.
Samuel Dusinberre, who was pardoned
by Governor McGraw on Monday. has
been guest Of Fred X. Reed, of this city,
who assisted in procuring the pardon,
ever since he left Walla Walls. On Tues
day evening Mrs. Dusinberre accompanied
Mr.. Reed upon his return trip from Puy-
allup, and husband and wife were re-
united after almost two years of painful
separation.
Mr.. Dusinberre win leave to-day or to-
morrow for Seattle, and endeavor to Sc
cure work of any nature enabling him to
support himself and wife. He, Of course,
fears or rather feels that further prosecu-
ton may fellow, and he looks upon such
possible procedure a. partaking of the
nature Of persecution. Should he be per-
mittsd to enjoy his liberty he will, as
he stated to HERALD reporter, use his
utmost endeavor to discharge his obliga-
ton to the bank. as he tried in every way
to do prior to his arrest.
1t is not believed by those who think
they are acquainted with the facts in the
case, that Mr.. Dusinberre will be further
molested; indeed, it is possible that q
second pardon would follow closely upon
the heels of q second trial.
Mr.. Dusinberre looks i'll. In fact, he
had been in the hospital for 10 days just
prior to his release, and has not yet fully
recovered. He 10 more than grateful to

TOO MUCH LEGISLATION.

The bill against nepotism is an encroach-
ment on personal liberty and smacks too
much of the spirit of fanaticism. Nepo-
tisIn in Office is exceedingly obnoxious to
good taste, but an officials relations are
generally about as well qualified for Of
fice as the relatives of other men. 1t may
ba the case that an Office Of such trust is
appointive, carrying with it a RESPONSE
bility of the official making the appoint
ment SO great that an Official can only
trust n relation whom he thoroughly
knows is exactly the man to fit the place.
A man who cannot be trusted to make the
Appointments under him with due con-
alteration to the obnoxious feature OIL
nepotism is unworthy Of public office. Ger
tainly we can trust the men we elect to
places of emolument and trust, to show
n sufficient respect for public opinion as
to avoid too open a display of nepotism.
The fact is, we are beginning to legislate
on too many subjects, We are enlarglng
the functions of public authority rather
than curtailing these functions, and whiie
we are doing so we are simplifying our
scope Of special laws, all of which is OBJ
noxious to the spirit of modern thought
ON this subject For some time there was
n very decided tendency to curtail all
special laws and permit special things
to be controlled by general laws, but lat
terly there seems to be reversal oil that
idea, and disposition to legislate upon
everything under the sun. If this spirit
is encouraged we must expect revival
of the old blue laws of Connecticut, one
of which prohibited man from kissing
his wife on Sunday. The latter tendency
ia cropping out with unusual vigor In
the Twenty fourth legislature of Texas.
We have had a bill compelling, under a
penalty, a man to answer III specmc
time every unimportant and likely beg
ging letter he may receive, and now we
have one excluding the relations of an
official from his right to hold office under
n relative. What will we have nextE
Probably a proposition that we wear
regulation uniforms indicating our dilfer-
ent occupations. Some of these bills, we
know, are introduced with a humorous
intent, but we are held responsible for
earnestness in all such matters by news
papers that take delight in sneering at
Texas and Texas legislation. All such
things are more harmful than witty; in
fact il is difficult to see the point of the
wit in any such bills. The members of the
legislature are charged with earnest and
important duties, and they should suffer
nothing to go on record but the earnest
affairs of the state, indulging their humor
in such facetious speeches as do not en-
cumber the records.

The Nacogdoches Chronicle understands
that Col. Ochiltree is about to visit Texas
on business and invites him to come
up TO pay visit to the locality Of his ma
tiyity, where, as the Chronicle expresses
if. he may revisit the venerable and his
toric town where first his infant eyes
were opened to the light of this world
and his infant wall was first heard an
nouncing to all mankind that child had
been born who was to be the friend OF
princes, presidents and plutocrats." The
Chonicle adds that Colonel Ochiltree has
become famous and that he has "achieyed
consequence on the highest levels of life,
even though no single achievement can be
set down to his credit"
We beg to suggest to the Chronicle that
it mistakes the causes of Colonel Ochll-
trees "highest levels" There is one colos-
sal achievement to which in a great de-
in that he has become a specialist I'M
riyaled since the days of Baron Munchau-
sen. If there is any man who can have
"higher single achievement set down to
his credit than Colonel Ochiltree in this
line we would like to know who it is.
Macauley said of a certain French states
man that man who had never been in
the tropics could not appreciate how loud
it could thunder, and a man who had
never seen Niagara had no idea of an
avalanche of water, and a man who did
not know Barrier had no conception of a
liar.
We have always understood that Col
onel Ochiltree's greatness depended large
ly upon his fame in this respect, in a
purely Pickwickian sense, while at the
same time we have understood that Col
onel Ochiltree, when in earnest in pri-
vatc life, was model of truth and gentle
manly courtesy, but that his public ambi'
ton was to be most notorious as colos-
sal prevaricator in things that would not
do any harm, but amuse his gaping and
wonder-struck auditory. We really think
he has become great in one thing at least.

WHO HOLDS TRUMPS?

1t would surprise the world great deal
IL China played the game the Russians
played at Moscow on Napoleon. not by
freezing the Japanese army out OF Chiha'
but by tolling it very far into the interior
and cutting off the supplies, fall upon 1t
with overwhelming forces and utterly
destroying it. While Chinese are not
remarkable for chivalric and warlike
deeds. they are not deficient in cunning
and it may be that their cunning may in
yolve Japan in such difficulties that they
have never dreamed of in this easy gong
conquest. Japan had better keep It's eyes
omen else peradventure it step into trap
and be compelled to share the fate or
the greedy fox. Any one who takes the
Chinese for fools will sooner or later dis
cover the mistake and suffer by the too
credulous presumption.
1t Is said that Japan has by assuming
that the Chinese peace ambassadors are
not clothed with sufficient plenary powers,
postponed peace negotiations, and the
conclusion of peace in order to get bet
ter hold on the celestial empire. The
Chinese were just as well aware of that
fact before they sent peace commissioners
to Japan as the Japanese were and by
similar reasoning it may be concluded
that the Chinese authorities are playing
the same game of postponement in order
that they may accomplish some grand
coup that will result in disaster to Japan.
But one hypothesis and that is that the
Chinese are fools would reject this line
of reasoning.
We would almost venture TO predict
that China is awaiting it's opportunity,
and is fully prepared for it, for we all
know there is no more secrcGvc and cum
ming people than the Chinese. China in
all probability has n whole deck of cards
hid away in its capacious sleeves ready
to spring upon the game when Japan
ventures to play its highest cards. If it
does happen, give us credit for more
sagacity than any of our contemporaries,
if you please.

WASHING ON LIE TER.
SPECULATION IN WASHlNGIoN
ON THE EVE OF THE LAST
BOND ISSUE.
Cleveland Waited for Congress to Act
and as 1t Failed the Country, He
Took Matters in his Own Hands.
Senatorial Dignity Ruttied by
q Girl.

Washington, Feb. 7.-(Special Cores
pondence.) -There seems to have arisen
in the preparations for third bond issue
on the part of the government hitch OF
some kind. Just what the nature of the
trouble is cannot be stated with absolute
certainty for the reason that up TO the
present time the treasury officials ana
those cogniZant of the exact status OF
affairs have absolutely refused to make
public any information bearing on the
proposed issue. This reticence on their
part, however. does not convince those
who have been close and careful observ-
ers of the course of events that they are
entirely wrong in the conclusions they
have drawn. In the first place the visits
that have within the past week been
made to New York by Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Curtis, and the
presence in this city of the most promi-
nent bankers and tinanciers of New York,
and their consultations with Mr.. Cleye-
land and Secretary Carlisle can leave nc
doubt that plan of relief is on foot based
upon the authority already vested in the
administration. 1t was confidently eX'
pected that the call for bonds would have
been made ere this and those not in the
secret are forming their own opinions as
to the delay. These opinions may be
summed up briefly as follows: In the
first place it is believed that Mr.. Cleve
land has always been opposed to the issue
of bonds without the immediate and direct
authorization of congress and has only
resorted 10 such measures as last ex'
peiient- Now that congress is in session
and IS wrestling nightly with financia
problems he would undoubtedly prefer
that relief should come from their ac
tio1s. He has, however, stated lin his
recent meSsage) that he would issue the
bonds without their sanction were such
4 course necessary to maintain the coun.
try'S credit. and if the necessity arises
he will undoubtedly fulfill his pledge
just NJ the present time the gold with
drawalS seem 10 have let up and the tide
has turned; hence it is not likely that the
call will be made while this favorable sign
is to be noted. Not only that, but the
substitute introduced by Representative
Reed as a substitute for the Springer
bill in the house on Tuesday, has appar-
emily appealed to large number of the
members and the delay as to the bonds
may have been caused by a desire to
note the fate of that bill taken in con-
nection with other encouraging cOndi-

TEXAS FEVER LINE.
Regulations Concerning Cattle Trans
portation to he in Force From
February Is


Washington, Feb. lO.-In accordance
with an act of congress of May 20, 1894
the secretary of agriculture has issued
to Managers and superintendent of
railroad and transportation companies of
the United States, stockmen and 9TH
ers," the usual regulation concerning cat
tie transportation, to be in force from the
10Th of February to the first day of De-
ccmber next. The principal difference
between the regulations and those of last
year lie in the change of the Texas fever
line
Texas fever. as it is called. has been
extending westward TO the Pacific coast.
The line from the Pacific coast to its
junction with the old line, which former
ly did not extend beyond Western Texas,
is described as running from the extreme
western point of Costa Rica and San
Joaquin to the western boundaries of
Amador, then north along the western
boundaries of Amador to the southwest
ern corner of Ell Dorado. then southwest
to the boundary line of California, thence
southeasterly along the eastern boundary
of California to the western boundary of
Arizona. then south along the western
boundary of Arizona to the southwestern
border of the territory and east along
the southern boundaries of Arizona and
New Mexico to the Rio Grande, south
east along the Rio Grande to the south
west corner of the county of Foley,
Texas, and northeast along that river to
the southwestern corner of the county of
Pecos, which was the western extremity
of the line.
The principal change in the old Texas
fever line affects the territory of Okla

SENATE REGULATIONS.

She was a well groomed up-to-date
young lady, with big fur cape over her
arm, and a magazine in her hand. She
invaded the sacred precincts of the SEN
ate gallery, evidently unaware of the sa-
cred ground upon which she was treading.
She stood in contemplatiye mood back
of the seats surveying the sense-soothing
scene, evidently occupied in mental de-
bate with herself over the desirability
of remaining, when the door keeper bus
tied up to her and told her in q whisper
that made Senator Hill don his specs"
and scan the gallery that it was "agin
the rules to stand"
SO she tripped down to front seat,
where she located. and putting her cape
on the stone coping for cushion to shield
her elbows, leaned over to study the styles
in bald heads. In about two minutes the
attendant rushed noisily down the steps
and in the same sepulchral whisper told
her it was "agin the rules to put anything
on the railing"
Senator Harris, in the chair, frowned
up her way and she blushingly removed
the cape.
Senator PETER was giving some infor-
nation in a soft, low voice, and under
his soporifc influence she nearly went
to sleep with her head on the back of the
seat, and her half closed eyes studying
the painted plaques on the ceiling. In
her abstraction she dropped her maya
zine. Back came the door keeper with
another piece of information. She "must
not drop things; it disturbed the senat-
ors."
Half dozen senator's looked up to see
if an anarchist had got in the galleries
and the girl back of her giggled She
held her ground, however, and presently
opened the magazine and began to read
Again the door keeper "You amt al.
lowed to read in this here gallery, it's agir
the rules"
She sat for a moment, wrath in every
feature, glaring down at the heads below
Just as the door keeper sat down she
turned and beckoned him vigorously. He
came dumping down and as he bent ovel
her she asked him in q whisper that must
have ratified the weather meter in the
marble room, "Can I yawn"
The laugh that rippled around the gal
lery was not caused by the remarks of
the senator from Kansas and the young
lady was not again molested.
