FENCE AT No. 15 School.

Some time ago the iron fence which
formerly enclosed the triangular plot at
Delaware avenue and Washington street
was given TO the board to be used at No.
l5 School. The attention of the mem
bers was called last night to the fact
that the fence is at the school but still
lying on the ground. A motion was
made that the repair committee be in
structed to have it set III position. A
discussion followed the motion, some of
the members thinking a stone founda-
ton would have TO be built first. while
others thought that would not be neces-
sary, The matter was finally left to the
discretion of the repair committee.

REPAIRS TO THE SCHOOLS.

Members of the visiting committees
on several schools reported that repairs
were needed, in most cases the improve
ments necessary net being so extensive
as to call for large expenditure. Be-
pairs were ordered to be made to Schools

Mr.. Baynard, H. A. Miller was allowed

Prohibition Speaking,

Last night, at the intersection of
Broad street and State Line ave-
nue., the prohibitionists held their
last meeting, An improvlsed stand
was made out Of a wagon, in which
an organ and some chairs were
placed, the latter being occupied
by some Of the sweet singers Of our
city After several songs were
sung, Rev, Joseph Jamison address
ed the crowd, which numbered some
two thousand or more people--ol
both sexes and both races white
and black, Mr. Jamlson started
out to deal some sledge.hammer
blows against the whisky traffic,
but before he had spoken twenty
minutes his voice failed him. and ht
had TO retire Rev w. Y Burch
was substituted and made a good
talk, after which a colored man wai
put up and delivered an address d.
reeted to his eolored hearers, The
crowd was orderly and undemonstra
tive. We are sorry that Mr. Jami
sons admirable address was cut of

GONE TO WHIsTLING. I"

Little Rock, a few days ago, quar-
antined against Hot Springs and
Malvern, and we have not heard OF
the quarantine being declared Off.
Nevertheless, the Arkansas Gazette
puts on its whistle-trigger editor
on the situation, and the following
paragraphs are his productions
Nobody in Little Rock is afraid
Of small pox. We never have small
pox in Little Rock
In few days the small pox
scourge at Hot Springs will begin
to disappear, There is no occasion
for any alarm, nor does the situa'
tion justify the use Of shotguns at
the little stations along the Iron
Mountain road.
DR.. Jennings says that the worst
is over at Hot Springs, and there it
no better authority on small poS
than Dr. Jennings.
The st. Louis Dispatch,
which has always taken deep In
terest in the welfare Of Arkansas,
makes this sensible remarks "Tht
people of Arkansas who are guard
ing against small pox with shot
guns, should bear in mind that d
plague feeds on a panic There

Engaging Manners,

People are always the better be-
ing polite, There are a thousand
pretty little engaging ways which
every person may put on without
running the risk Of being affected
or foppish-the sweet smile, the
quiet, earnest bow, the earnest
movement in addressing friend, or
especially a stranger whom one
may recommend to our good re-
CARDS, the inquiring glance,
the graceful attendance which
is so captivating when united
with self-p possession -- these
will insure us the good regards Of
even a churl Above all, there is a
certain softness of manners which
should be cultivated and which, in
either man or woman, adds charm
that almost entirely compensates
the lack of beauty The voice can
be modulated so to intonate that
it will speak directly to the heart,
and from that elicit an answer, and
politeness be made essential to our
nature. Neither is time thrown
away in attending to such things,
insignificant as they may seem to

A SILLY FOREIGN POLICY

Cleveland has put his big foot in
it again. This time tits about the
threatened Hawaiian uprising 1t
seems that the admiral who is in
command of the war ship Philadel-
phia, has been instructed to let the
ship ride at anchor as idle as a
painted ship upon painted ocean" J"
no matter what interest the Amer
ican residents may have or what
insult may be offered them, Mr.,
Peter Jones, an American tax pay
er, asks some pertinent questions to
the President on this subject. Here
are a few;
If an American citizen who de-
fends himself, his property and the
lives of his wife and children from
threatened mob attacks, from muir
der, pillage, rapine, and all the
horrors Of mob violence, when the
mob are fully armed with rifles, pis-
tolls and dynamite bombs-if, say,
an American citizen who does this
or who helps his neighbor in such
defense, or who maintains the Gov
ernment which stands between him
and his family and anarchy, forfeits
his rights as an American citizen
which is the apparent meaning Of
the instructions to Admiral Boards
lee--I wish such position to be de-
fined and go on record; or if in all
its consequence such monstrous
and infamous proposition was not
really intended by those instruc-
tions, wish to give an opportunity
to have them publicly explained and
modified as they have been publicly
proclaimed.

THE PROS WARNING.

tempt to blackmail the state into
donating to this corporation 3l8, 900
acres of state lands as a price for

MAD AS wAsPs.

The members of the Arkansas
Legislature got stirred up yester'
day, after reading the Commercial
Appeal That paper indirectly
charged the members with being
bribed or ''fxed" by the Iron Noun
tain road before they voted on the
railroad commission bill. To this
and the Governors interview they
excepted in the most vindictive
manner. Mr., Manning arose before
recess in the House and asked that
he be allowed to make a statement.
He said that the assembly had
borne the reputation of honesty
and ability, A measure had re-
Gently been carefully considered In
committee and earnestly discussed,
Both sides appeared sincere, honest
and humble. For one who favored
the railroad commission bill he
wished to denounce the language
Of some of the papers which had
impugned the motives of those who
opposed the bill, The imputation
of mercenary or other bad motives
were repelled and denounced and
the following resolution offered
Resolved, That all imputations
of dishonest purpose on account of
the votes cast on that measure
whereby any member is said to have
cast his vote for or against the bill
upon any other standpoint than
honest conviction be repudiated
and denounced"
The resolution was adopted unan-
imously.
Adjourned for recess.
After recess Mr., Brady, rising to
a question of personal privilege,
waded into the Commercial and
scored that paper numerically for
the charges limited as to a pur-
chaseable assembly, The speech
occupies over a column in the Ar
kansas Gazette, and is full of vim
and fire, Hereis one paragraph:
1t occurs to me, sir, If the Mem
phis Commercial believes there is SO
much virtue in a railroad commits
sion, it would do well to turn its at
tention to its own Legislature, now
in session, to re-enact the commits
sion law of its own state, which
cost the people there 4O,OOOin four
years, without profitable returns to

GOV. CLARKE INTERVIEWED.
How He Views the Defeat of the
Railroad Commission ELL.

AhQ4lA bctN OO1llll1oclOll GAllt
Governor Clarke, a strong rail
road commissioner advocate, even
before he was elected Governor, has
been interviewed since the Robinson
bill met its waterloo in the house,
by the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
We give the Governors exact words
as he wrote them, for publication.
He said:
''I regard it as highly improper
for me to make any comments on
the action of the legislature | don't
mind saying, however, that the de-
feat of the bill was a great disap-
pointment to me, as am sure it is
to the people of the state.
''The measure is the most impor-
tant one possible of enactment
under our present constitution. 1t
was always important, but is doub-
! ly so at this time, when the low
/ price of cotton has made it i'm
perative for us to develop an inter
national commerce by stimulating
the establishment OF enterprises
that will manufacture and distri-
butte our products
II am not aware what tactics
we're used by the railroad contin-
gent to bring about this defeat,
From the surface indications ! take
it for granted that they employed
their usual means of warfare.
What these are can be readily con-
iectured, | make no statement
that any member of the house was
influenced by corrupt methods, for
| cannot prove the statement if
required to do so, | have only to
repeat a statement that was ac-
customed to make while a member
of the General Assembly, after suf-
fering uniform defeat at the hands
Of the late lamented Rufc Martin,
I then said that while the conver-
sion of some Of the members was
both sudden and miraculous, ! made
no charge that they were bought
up, Yet if any one should find me
engaged in the same business under
the same circumstances and should
charge that ] was serving for pay
I would make no denial
ut is said to be strange to the
extent of exciting comment that
when the house adopted the reso
luton creating the railroad commit
tee to propose and present a bill
for a railroad commission, the mega
tive votes did not exceed half a
dozen, and the Judiciary committee,
composed of fifteen members, with
one dissenting vote, reported the
bill favorably, and when the house
took the bill up for consideration,
many of the members Of this com
mittee were outspoken in their OPP
position to it, and several made
speeches against it, OF course, this
may have resulted from fuller in
formation,
'I understand from several
friends Of the commission idea that
another effort will be made to pass
the bill in the event the session Is
extended. Of course have no
opinion as to how this will result, ]
only hope that 1t will succeed For
myself, ! am disposed to be angry
with the Iron Mountain railroad for
its cut.throat methods Of warfare

Tihetan inconsistencies,

OF all the wonders of the Tibetan re-
ligion, none is SO striking as the album
dance of monasteries. These great as
semblages of religious houses are full
of monks, or Lamas, and the marvels
associated with them are truly surpris-
ing. Their number is amazing; they
literally swarm in the inhabited por-
lions of Tibet, and traveller journey
ing through tho country passes monas-
terry after monastery in endless sue
ceSSiOn.
So numerous are they that Mr.. Rock
hill. the interchangeable American eX-
plorer of Tibet, tells us that, while the
population of Eastern Tibet is but
small, one fifth of it consists Of Lamas.
He also says that, in his journey from
Jyekundo in Tibet to Tachien-lu, on the
frontier of China, a distance OF 600
miles, he passed thirty-six large monas-
teries, five of which contained from
1000 to 1000 Lamas. Many monas-
teries in other parts are equally large.
The great monastery of Aumbum
near the Lake Koko Nor, contains 1000
monks. Chiamdo. which is one of the
chief towns in Eastern Tibet, and con,
tainS 10000 inhabitants, seems to be
half composed of a gigantic monastery
and Captain Bower, in his recent jour
ney through Tibet, passed the large
town of Riuchi, which seemed to him
to be all monastery. The wealth of some
Of these monasteries is astonishing

Double Cropping Poor Land.

The reason there is not more double
cropping Of land is because the soil gen
eraly is not rich enough to warrant it.
It pays in the garden, which on most
farms contains more fertility per
square foot than can be found anywhere
else 1t will pay with field crops If care
is taken not to crop exclusively, and to
SOW alternately some leguminous plant
that will increase fertility instead of
lessening it. Glover is generally sown
with some grain crop. This in one
sense might be termed double crop
ping, as the grain and clover grow to-
gether until the grain is harvested. But
this is certainly not exhaustive to the
soil. AS a rule, it is best to have some
crop growing OH the soil all the time.
When it's surface Is bare it Is exposed
to greater losses than when it is COW
cred.
