Christian schools.

Washington City. May 19.-In a dis
patch TO the state department from Tehe-
ran. April 10, Minister McDona4,4 gives an
interesting account Of the work OF the
American missionary schools OF that city.
He states that he had the pleasure. by
special invitation, on the 9th of April, OF
attending the commencement exercises at
the school for boys of the American mis-
sion for Teheran. of which Rev. Lawrence
Ward is principal The exercises took
place in the American church. which was
filled with an aSsemblage OF both natives
and foreigners. Mr.. Mcdonald occupied a
seat on the platform, and representa-
tive of the shahs college was present and
made a brief speech of commentator OF
the school. Rev. Mr.. Potter and Rev. Mr.
Styns also took part in the proceedings
THE exercises" said Mr.. Mcdonald,
were such as took place at an Ameri-
can school of high grade. Speeches in
four languages were made by the several
honor graduates-in Persian, Armenian.
French and English. The young men
spoke with perfect ease and fiuency. The
branches taught in the school are the
languages already named, with Araoic
and Hebrew added: arithmetic, Persian
and European; algebra, bookkeeping,
geogra Apply. general history, etc. There
are over 100 students and nine teachers
Some OF the pupils are assisted IN their
living expenses. There were twenty-five
graduates The school, in Mr.. McDon-
aids opinion, is doing much good. and he
described Il as being mot the least of
the praiseworthy works carried on by the
DISTINGUISHED Americans in Teheran."
The shan has visited ii in person and
commands It. girls school conducted
in like manner is regarded by Mr.. Nc
Donald as being equally worthy OF praise.
In IL the pupils receive board and lodg
ings, either free or at nominal rates, and
the excellent ladies in charge are de-
voting themselves nobly to Il iaUdaible
work. Girls are sent out by them every
year fit TO support themselves or 10 be-
come ornaments of society"
Minister Mcdonald also makes mention
OF the American hospital, in charge Of
DR.. j. G.. Wishard, which he says is a
splendid charity in high favor with both
government and people. The hospital has
likewise received the Communications OF
the shah. ''At all the missionary sta
tons in Persia" says Mr.. Mcdonald, II
believe there are similar institutions en-
gagged in the same ends, not to speak OF
the faithful and Jealous labors in behalf
Of the spread of the Christian religion
by the missionaries"

ing out the plan of action adopted by the
meeting Of the National Bi-meta4kc IN
ion that in districts, towns. cities and
states the organization of bi-metaliic url-
IONS be entered upon al once. The OBJ
ject of these unions Is for thorough Or
gan.zation in the interest of the educa-
ton of the voters OF the land on the IMAM
ciai question which is the burning Ques-
ton before the American people today.
The only hope for the struggle for the
full restoration of silver TO its place as

States is in such an education of the peo-
pie as VIII cause majority OF the voters
OF our country in November. 1856. 10 vote
for independent bi-metallism regardless
of party lines.
The formation of these unions may be
entered upon at once, and We suggest That

trict, town or state in which il Is organ
ICED and that the secretary of each un-
ion address a letter to +. 3. Light, secre-
tery National Bi-metallic Union, Denver,

tional organization. AS soon as the local
organizations are completed they shall
appoint committee of their most earn
est workers for the purpose of circulating

tire communities. We would further rec
ommend that the subscription be made in
monthly payments. which shall continue
until November, 1886. Further recommen-
datons will be made by the secretary at
the time the constitution and bylaws are
forwarded. The money so raised is re-
quired for the purchase and circula ton
OF bi-metalltc literature. furnishing hon
est and unanswerable arguments for fun
and independent bi-metallism, believing
that this Is the only way 10 restore per-
manent prosperity to our beloved land
This is a struggle between the money
power and patriotism, and in order 10
win our cause. as We have the money in
terests 10 oppose us, which are aIl-power-
ful, IL Is absolutely necessary that every
patriotic citizen shall at once enlist In

ance as in his power until this battle is

STUDY THE LAND LAWS.
The Tide Land Commissioners Flooded
With Useless Applications

Judging from the number Of spplica-
tons being received by the commissioner
OF public lands az Olympia 70 purchase
tide lands in 'front.' of Seattle i Is quite
evident that most Of them are laboring
under mIsapprehension OF the land laws
even now that the sixty days allowed by
law for such applications nave expired.
These applications ara all based on tho
statement that they are the first legal
applicants after the preference right OF
upland and improvement owners had ex-
PRED.
AS a matter OF fact the law recognizes
no such second application Sections IS
and So. page -, session laws of 1895. de-
fine the rights of abutting owners. and
section 50 says:
In case the persons mentioned in sec
tons So and 30 OF this act do not. within
the time limited exercise the right 70
purchase herein given. then said lands
shall be open TO the public for sale as
herein provided. The board Of state land
commissioners may sell the surveyed and
plated tide lands remaining unsold at
public auction upon the following terms
and conditions"
The remainder Of the section defines
how such sales shall be conducted by the
commission.
