Our people are making good use
OF the splendid sleighing that we
have nj this place. Irwin Fetterolf
was to Centre Co. last week attend
ing the funeral of his brother How
ard, who died of cancer Samuel
Bobb of Three River, Mich. is at
place. Mr.. Bobb visited this
place three years ago, after an alb
sence of 80 years, and was SO delight
ed with the treatment he received,
that he concluded not to prolong his
absence again for 80 years. The
bold and fearless correspondent of
the Adamsburg Herald from Mid
dleswarth, has our thanks for the
favorable mention he gave US in his
last letter to that paper. Iwish our
teachers had been so prompt in tax
ing the hint Why is 1t anyhow, that
no effort is made Well, | believe an
effort had been made by some of the
more energetic teachers, but, failed.
What failed Yes, failed Was it
for want Of energy, or for an over
abundance of selfishnessl III there

quirc the art of speaking than in Il

10 give advice then, | would advise
you, by all means, to organize a de-
batting society at once, and meet at
least once n week, and have good
questions TO debate. At the end of
the school term if YOU are dissatis-
fed with my advice, tell me so, and

coins were struck. The total coin
age ofgold discoveries of California
and Australia, was but S43,000,-
900.
In 1912 over two and a half
millions of silver dollars were
coined, and nearly million were
coined in the early part of 1878 be-
fore the Sherman act of February
18th, which shut offthe free coin
age of silver. If that act had not
passed this country would have
reached the bimetallic level by the
end of the following year and all
the uncertainty of the fluctuating
gold basis and the contraction
necessary to reach the altered level
Of the gold metal would have been
avoided. This was the gravest and
greatest blunder ever made by
Congress.
Graham guardian., 1895-06-15

The following from recent
proclamation of the Governor of
South Carolina to the people of
that state would indicate that he is
ready to don his warpaint and go
on the warpath:
"The world must be show that
we are capable of governing our
selves and that constitution or
no constitution, law or no law,
court or no court, the intelligent
white men of South Carolina in
tend to govern her. Let the man
who undertakes to lead the blacks
against you, suffer as he did in
1876. South Carolina was the first
state to leave the union in the late
war and the last to recover from
the reconstruction period.
Graham guardian., 1895-06-15
AN EFFECTIVE BRAKE.

The Constitution of Montana
provides unique and very efficient
brake to hold the Legislature in
check in the matter of extravagant
appropriations. A supervising
body called the State Board of
Examiners, consisting Of the Gov
ernor, the Secretary of State and
the Attorney General, which is in
vested with plenary power to cut
down and readjust all appropria-
ton bills,so as to bring the total ex-
penditure for malntaing in the State
government within the limits of the
total estimated revenue. This
board meets after the adjournment
of the Legislature, and goes over
all appropriation bills, cutting and
pairing here and there; in some
cases vetoing absolutely the entire
appropriation for certain purposes
OF course there is good deal Of
kicking by the institutions and
parties that suffer from the prun
ing knife of this board, but the
people Of Montana believe the
system is very good one to keeI
the State out of debt, and to check
the natural disposition of Legis
latures to spend more money thar
the taxpayers desires to have
spent.
Graham guardian., 1895-06-15

SOME weeks ago an article ap-

they have encountered nice
stream of water. They intend to
continue the work until a good IL

this means of obtaining water
proves a success, which we have

will become prime factor in the

tural lands. The work was com.

be able to supply the railroad com

will build tank at Pima they can
furnish water much cheapter than
the company can get it for by
pumping it from well.
