One of the most important oues-
tons for the consideration of our
coming constitutional convention is
the matter OF public education. E7-
cry man, woman, and child is deeply
interested. in this subject, and the
question should receive the most
careful thought. The children of
this State are not getting the benefit
OF the money expended for public
education that they should, and the
fault lies in the law. WHAT'S needed
is thorough renovation of the school
law so that our public schools NAV
De run upon a systematic business
principle. The public schools should
be run at least nine months in the
year, and they can be without anv
further taxation. One of the draw
backs to our school system is the
number OF public schools. There are
too many. Nearly every neishbor-
mood has public school when there
is no necessity for it. Ii the schools
can be so arranged that an entire
township can send there, smaller
number OF teachers would be re-
CURED and it would result in having
better class of teachers. There are
some who are opposed to the two
mll school tax, and give as their
reason tnat they are requirad to pay
Tor the education of other PEOPLES
children. We favor the two mill tax
for the reason that the children
should be educated, but we want the
law changed so that the taxpayer can
direct where..nis school tax shall be
applied. If we can get this change
m our constitution we Will then be
able to have as fine system of free
schools as any State in the Union.
instead OF wrangling with each 9th
er as to who should 60 to the con-
Ventlon, let US think OF getting men
who favor doing something to give
US the relief we need. It matters not
TO US who represents US in the consti-
tutlonal convention so long as we
send men who are in full sympathy
with the people in the matter of civ
ing their children perfect system of
free schools.

STEVENSON OR MO7RlSON2
Division In the Councils Between Silver
and Administration Zen.


WAsH1seToS, April 1.-THE silver
democrats are pleased with the move
ment for an carly convention in Illi-
nois and predict that they will have
two-thirds of the national convention,
including Virginia, the Carolinas, Geor-
gia, etc. One feature Of the situation
just developed is the tendency OF the
silver men toward Stevenson and the
preference OF administration democrats
for Morrison, ii the fight is TO be con-
fined to the two. All the signs point
to irreconcilablc differences between
the factions and the dependence Of the
majority, if a rupture is made necessa-
rp, is upon the silver republicans Of the
west.

The Southern Negro.

In the language of n southern writer
The generation Of negroes born since
the war are just beginning to feel
their oats." A vast army Of them In
tho south are without the habits of sus-
tanned industry and of self-rcstraint
possessed by their fathers, educated in
the school of slavery They care moth
ing for the law and the officers of the
law. They are constantly in conflict
with these and with the cxaspcrascd
public opinion of their vicnage. They
are enemies of society, and in the in
terests of society should be placed
where they can do the least harm. An
orderly administration of the laws
everywhere is the best safeguard that
society can have, but our Afro Ameri.
can fellow-citizens damage their cause
when they persistently place them
selves on the side of the criminal Gle.
ment of their race, in defiance OF law
and public opinion. To recognize the
existence Of this criminal element and
labor to lift them up morally and
intellectually" as Mr.. Scott suggests,
would be far more wise and iudicious
course to pursue. II Is never safe TO
justify the existence OF abuses of what
ever sort; a manly recognition of them
and an honest eifSrt to correct them
will always command respect of those
whose respect is worth having "The
common negro" is a natural product
of slavery and the reaction from
slavery. He is in evidence in every
southern community and in few of
the northern and western ones. He
complicates the race problem. lie
makes difficult the pathway Of the hon
est, respectable and ambitious men,
bers of his race. He Is too often, IL is
true, made the standard by which his
whole race Is judged, but under the
circumstances this is unavoidable. An
honest admission that he exists and
that he is to be dealt with just as the
criminal members of other races Of the
population are will be of incalculnble
advantage to Afro-Americans and to
society generally.

A TY-sEvEN-YEAR-oLD citizen
of Great Falls, Wash, is undergoing n
peculiar process of physical regenera-
tion. About u year ago he contracted
pneumonia, and his life was for some
time despaired of, the doctors saying
his right lung was hopelessly wasted.
He recovered, however, but when just
able to hobble around he fell and broke
his thigh bone, and was confined to the
hospital again for six months. Since
leaving, however, his physical condi-
tion has improved remarkably. His
lungs began to open up until they be-
came almost as we'll as ever; his skin
shed off and a new skin grew, and his
hair and beard. which were snow
white, are coming out a jet black. His
limbs and muscles have limbered up,
and he started week or so since to
take herd of young horses across n
long trail to market. He says II he
continues to grow young he will get
married again and grow up with the
country.
