U. S. Supreme court action on the
famous Judge Ross bond decision has
been deferred until January % Peo-

power for public action in public
matters for public welfare has been
taken away from us. Few people
know that Judge Ross is a tool of

BULLETIN.
IIE

The founders and friends of Weiser
Academy have every reason to be
encouraged and grati6ed with the
progress which the institution has
made, and with the bright prospects
for its future. The first term of its
second year is now nearing success
full termination, and the indications
are that the winter term will show
still further advance. The distinct
growth in the number and quality of
its students during the fifteen months
Of its existence is evidence of the
fact that the methods and work of
the Academy are commencing them
selves.
In order to keep pace with the
growth of the school the corps of
teachers has been doubled, so that
four professors are now engaged in
the work of instruction, besides one
student who is giving some assistance
in music,
During the winter term there will
be classes in Latin, Greek, English
Literature, English Grammar, His
tory, Geography, Arithmetic, Alge-
bra, Geometry, and Bookkeeping
instruction will be given, also, in
photography and Penmanship. The
rhetorical and literary work of the
school is subject to the oversight of
a Professor, under the charge of two
literary societies, and essays, recita-
tons and readings are presented by
them every Friday afternoon.
One prominent feature Of the
school work is the attention given to
music All regular students, subject
to the approval of the Faculty, may
receive piano lessons twice per week
free of charge.
Academy Hall has proved to be
well adapted to the present needs of
the school. Besides recitation rooms,
parlor, dining room and kitchen, it
affords sleeping and study rooms for
about twenty young ladies', at an
expense of only 50 so per week for
room, board, fuel and light. A por-
ton of this the young ladies are
permitted to pay by homework, all
of which is thus performed by them
A limited number of young men can
fud table board at the Academy din
ing room for 50 per week Rooms
can be procured in private houses at
reasonable rates.
All students, while connected with
the school, will be accountable, for
department, to the Faculty.
The winter term will commence on
Tuesday, January 7, 1896. Tuition,
which is expected in advance unless
arrangements are made to the con-
trary, is $1,000 per term of twelve
weeks. After the second week of
the term the tuition will be at the
rate of 81 90 per week, except that
no tuition less than 5000 will be
received.
Those who are considering the
matter of attendance would do well
to apply at once. For full informa-
ton address the president, Rev.) A.
G. UPToN, or the lady principal, Miss
MIRIAM LEE.

institution had anything TO do with Prof.
Bemis' dismissal. He would be unwar-
rantably raw if be did not deny it. But
the facts all 20 TO show that the professor
was summarily ousted because he enter
tanned and inculcated economic doctrine
which did not meet with the approval of
the money hackers of the un; ersity 1t
is fairly deducible that the liberal endow-
ment of the University of Chicago was
inspired by selfish and sinister motives
Those wealthy contributors were not par
ticularly anxious about the advancement
of education. but they were deeply con-
cerned to check the progress of growing
sentiment against trusts and similar com
bnations of aggregated wealth; and they
put their money into the Chicago Univer-
siiy Tor the express purpose of checking
that sentiment They want to turn out
university men whose education will be
in accord with the interests of trusts and
corporations. and they do not propose TO
allow instruction within the institution
having opposite tendencies. Without
much exaggeration. it may be said that
the University Of Chicago is merely a
mill for grinding out apostles of plutoc-
racy. and in all probability the country is
afflicted with numerous similar nsttu-
tons. Years ago that other great educa-
tional engine, the daily newspaper, be-
came wholly subservient to the counting
room and now 1t appears that the colleges
and universities are going the same road.

1t is awfully quiet in the woman
suffrage line since the convention at
Boise, and in fact the convention
itself hardly made ripple. Back
in Massachusetts ii is still quieter.
Mrs. Ada Merritt, the intelligent lady
editor and proprietor of the Idaho
Recorder, says in her paper:
Woman suffrage was voted down in
Massachusetts. Boston. the birthplace of
the movement, voted against it by a ma
iority in every precinct. We hope ii is
dying out
Then we have the Pocatello Tribune
commenting on the extract as follows
Mrs Ada Merritt is editor and proprie-
tor of the Recorder. She has been wife
and is mother She has and is fulfilling
her destiny. She has found her sphere
ample, her rights complete. She owns
and edits a populistic paper. This party
is,abOve all the party of the woman suf-
frgists. But Mrs Merritt is not a woman
sutfragst. She hopes the movement is

the vast majority of the women of Ameri-
ca hope So The vote on the question in
Massachusetts proves it.. Not twenty five
per cent of the women in that common
wealth registered TO vote and not more
than twenty-five per cent of those who
did register voted. 1t is, however, encour-
aging TO hear woman come out and give
utterance TO that hope. They are so sell
dom heard. II is only the noisy dcclama-
ton of the advocate of woman suffrage
that we hear constantly. Man and woman

matters not who is the superior Man has
placed woman tn the higher place. The
rule by which one is measured can not be
set up as a standard for the measurement
of the other Fine gold and Irish spuds
are not weighed on the same scales. Ma
ture did not intend man and woman for
the same duties. Both have important
parts to play. Woman only becomes the
bread winner when driven to do so by
necessity and then by the sacrifice of other
duties of womanhood, which the necessi-
ties of an imperfect world sometimes
forces into subordination. But these are
not the women who are clamoring for
the suffrage. Men are neither brutes nor
they selfish. They desire the highest good
for woman. They desire them to be
neither toys nor pack animals. The sac
rifices they make for their happiness are
innumerable and are made cheefully and
without murmur. Their counsels are
sought, their opinions respected All
talk TO the contrary is nonsense. The
duties OF man and woman lie along par
allel paths. They are not the same and

A few days ago it looked like war.
There was Venezuela, Alaska, Orient,

noes, but none of them will erupt
Venezuela seems to have fallen into
Stygian oblivion. Interest concen-
trated AT the Dardanelles, but the

ers hurled their mailed forms against

AS predicted by the SIGNAL, it
only took the presidents suggestion
to reduce the gold reserve to SIS,
600, 900 and bonds would be issued,
TO set the gold wolves at work. With
in no time they had yanked out
81, 600, 900 and within two weeks
they had reduced it over S15, 600, :
600 When Cleveland gave out his
hint the reserve was about s97, 900, :
600; it is now down to $50, 600, 900
So rapid decline was probably never
known in the history of the treasury
in times Of peace.

The prospector to the coast region OF
Texas should not fail to visit jackson
county, a land rich IN natural advantages
and inexhaustibe resources. Its SOUTH
crn boundary is washed by the Lavaca
and Carancahua bays. Numerous streams
of never failing fresh water flow through
the county and empty into the bays
named Along the water courses there
is forest growth, principally pecan 1.-Two
oak. pin oak. post oak. mulberry, elm,
ash, wild peach, wild plum, holly, syca-
more and blackberry, which supply fuel
and fence posts in abundance. The. eli
nate is mild, balmy and healthful. The
ever prevailing gulf breeze moderates the
winters cold and tempers the summers
heat, thus blending the two extremes
into a uniform temperature where out
door work can progress the year round.
The soil varies from sandy loam to a
black waXy and is notedly rich and pro-
ductive. Much of the land will require
drainage, wAch can be accomplished with
comparatively little labor and expense
While this is true there are large bodies
of fine agricultural lands with superior
advantages in soil, drainage and location
now inviting the attention of capitalists
and home seekers. Those who know this
county best claim that it has uniform
seasons and that disastrous crop failures
occupy no page in its history All the
crops fruits and vegetables peculiar to
s"ini-troplcal climate grow and flourish
to the greatest fruition and perfection.
