Republicans and Financial Reform.

Republicans and Financial Reform.
The preparation of financial bill
by ex-Speaker Reed does not necessari-
ly mean that the Republicans of the
House are going to antagonize the
Presidents scheme which is brought
forward by Chairman Springer, of the
Banking and Currency Committee.
Reed bill. though,less comprehensive
than Cleveland's would doubtless meet
most of the difficulties satisfactorily.
His plan is to amend the law of 1875
so that 3 per cents are the only sort
of bonds which could be issued under
it. This is the bond section of his
measure. The only other section
which the bill contains provides for
the issue of 3-per-cent certificates of
Indebtedness in sums of S25, $50 and
800. and multiplies thereof, to be
payable in coin. These are intended
to meet the current expenses of the
Treasury. 1t is understood that this
measure represents the Republican
idea of the requirements of the situa-
ton.
1t is probable, however. that the
majority of the Republicans of the
House will vote for the Cleveland bill
when they find, as they undoubtedly
will if it comes to a vote, that their
own has no chance of passage. The
Reed bill is makeshift, as the Pres
ident's in some respects is. and as all
the measures necessarily will be which
are framed SO near the end of the term.
1t is designed to meet a temporary
exigency. Moreover, it is shorter
than the Administration measure and,
unlike that bill. it makes no formal
assault on the prejudices and prepos-
sessions of the silverites. For these
reasons it would have a fair chance
to pass the House if it were brought
forward by the Democratic members
of the Springer committee. Under ex-
listing conditions, of course. the Dem
ocrats will not stand sponsors for it.
But when the Reed substitute is
voted down by the Democrats the Re-
publicans may be relied on to support
the Administration measure. II is by
| far the best bill which has been
brought forward by the majority
party in the present session. Modifi-
cation in certain particulars it needs
to make it satisfactory to sound money
men in general. but it is correct in
principle and would undoubtedly be
beneficial in operation. Unhappily.
however. it has not the faintest chance
of enactment. The House may pass
! it. but ii can not 20 through the
/ Senate. The heavy free silver ma jori-
ty in that body would apparently. in
its present temper, block the way
against any sensible and conservative
! financial legislation. Perhaps the
next Senate. even though it will have
more silverites than the present one
/ holds, can be coaxed into taking a
more rational view of the necessities
of the situation. Let us hope that this
will be the case. However. it is safe
to PREDICT that the majority of the
Republicans. both of the House and
Senate. will continue their champion
ship of the cause of sound and honest
, finance, whatever obstacles and dis
couragements may present themselves.

Some OF our Republican counties
should secure the services of Prof.
Fontana and send that gentleman TO
Jefferson City at once with instruc-
tions tohypnotize theirrepresentatives.
Because the Republicans are in power
is no reason why they should make
fools of themselves, and that is just
what many of them are doing.

1t was generally understood when
the Republicans carried Missouri last
November that during the first term
of the Legislature there should be as
little disturbance in Law making as
possible. but in this the party has
been sadly disappointed. Every rep
resentative it seems is trying to sur
pass himself and the result i car
load of idiotic bills has been poured
into the house and some OF the most
foolish of them have been passed by
Il majority vote.

Sawyer Is a good man and no doubt
ne thought he was doing right when
he voted to knock out Sunday base

All great men sometimes make mis-

this one misstep of our representative.

This Is the Frozen Truth.

After the fourth of next month the
salary of Hon. n. A. Motley as Con-
gressman from this District will begin.
1t will look little odd, and'no doubt
cause strange feeling to creep up
the backs of some of our Democratic
politicians to see Southeast Missouri

lers year from Uncle Sans money

What business has the editor of the
Charleston Democrat with Pemiscot
county affairs? If the County Court

no business poking his nose into
something that does not concern him.

1t appears that the late snow storm
was much more severe in the South
than in the North and East. And the
same was true of the storm which pre-
ceeded it. This is matter of deep
concern. If the South is to lose its
salubrious winters. to what use, pray.
are we to put the South?

"SAID PASHA.Y

opened five nights engagement
with presentation of "Said Pasha,"

people and is one of the strongest

his superior ability.

played ''Nockey" last evening, and
who was also with the Moore comp

INSTITUTE.
A most Successful Meeting now being
held in this City.
A Remarkable Array Of Talent and
Beauty.

The Eleventh Annual Meeting of
the Dickey County Teachers Asso-
citation convened in this city last Mon
day. The REPUBLICAN makes the
statement that there is not another
county in the state or entire North
West that can show up with Dickey
county for beautiful femals school
teachers. Tho REPUBLICAN is usually
very chary of its compliments, but
seeing is believing. and if another
county in the state feels that it has
so much of beauty and grace massed
in its school mistresses, we invite
them up to our next institute They
will return convinced that for
beauty and grace, Dickey county's
female birch wielders bear away
the palms. The gentlemen are a
dignified looking body, but they will
never receive reward of merit card
on account of good looks. The
opening day was exceedingly un-
pleasant on account of the high
wind which prevailed. The wind in
Oakes has a habit of lifting the hats
from strangers, but when it has
carried them a little way up it always
drops them squarely in position on
the owners head. An Glendale
wind always rudely throws a hat in
the gutter and when our visitors got
on to the Oakes wind deal they
bowed their acknowledgements and
looked grateful,

Thursday Hood and Petrigo come
into the ring on civil government.
The gentleman were in excellent
condition both mentally and physic-
ally, and to say the least they made
their subject very civil indeed.
Afterward the ring was swept, the
curtain once more elevated and
Hicks hit heavily at language for
awhile. Occasionly teacher inter-

INSTITUTE NOTES.

The privilege afforded the teach
ers Of our county Of associating
with the State Superintendent,
Professor Perrigo, and the Princi-
pals Of our graded schools aud their
assistants, is a privilege that must
prove beneficial to them. By this
means those who have not been able
to take special courses are enabled
to get hints and suggestions as to
the best methods of teaching that
tLey can. make use Of in their own
school rooms. The County Insti-
tutes are a power for good, and the
money expended in keeping them up
is put to the very best use.
After coming down and looking
over the field and town last Monday
the State Superintendent Miss. Bates,
sent message to Lieut.. Gov. Worst,
President of the State Agricultural
College, Fargo, asking him if he could
not give one evening here during the
Institute. The president promptly res
ponded that he would be down Fri
day evening. The gentleman is very
popular down here and a full house is
sure TO greet hin.
A gentleman held au open watch du-
ring the time the committee were
serving refreshments at that banquet
Tuesday evening. The actual time
occupied from the time the first
plate of refreshments was handed
out until guest No. 324 was at work
at his repast was precisely eight min
uses. Electricity is a dandy for
lrapidity but it can't compare with
a committee of O axes ladies. 9
The red, lucky red. Eleven times
hath the Dickey County Institute

Oakes, with her elegant train ser.
vice IS very popular nov. with the
leading educators of the county, as
an accessible point to hold the
Teachers Institutes of Dlckey Coun-
ty. The Sunday train Oh the 500
road, whics is so popular with the
County Seat papers Just now,
brought in quite a delegation of
teachers from the extreme western
portion of the county.
Dickey County stands at the head
OF the list in regard to number OF tea
chers, of any county in the state South
of the main line of the Northern Pa
cific railroad, with possibly one ex-
ception Richland County.
For the beauty of its lady teach
ers, for for the dignified gentleman
teachers and for the superior intel
lectual ability of both, Dickey county
stands as the peer of any county in
the state.

OUR PRINCIPAL.

The subject of this sketch, j. G.
Ho cd, Principal of Oakes High
School was born in 1875 at Gait,
Ontario, and is Of good Scotch-Irish
descent. The gentleman moved to
Sanilac county, Mich, in 1870, and
was graduate from High School
there in 1881, and from the State
Normal at Flint in 1885, afterward
receiving the Degree Of B. S., from
Ohio University in 1890.
In 1890 he was married to Miss
Avaidua Sims, of GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
who was pursuing classical course
at the same institution.
He taught the Sciences in the
Northwood Normal iu Ohio, for one
year and after that for two years in
Michigan. Mr., Hood came west
during the Summer Of 1893 and &C.
copied the posi- ion which he still oc
cupies
Since the professor has been her.
he has thoroughly graded our Publ,
school. 1t has twelve grades, with
three years course in Latin.

The time Of tuesday forenoon was
we'll improved. The Institute was
divided into two divisions, Prof.
Hicks teaching language to one
division while Prof. Perrigo gave
lesson in Elementary Physiology
and Hygiene. These occupied the
time before intermissjon. After this
Miss Bates gave a lesson in color,
form and number. These lessons
were listened to with marked atten-
ton and the teachers must have re-
ceived much benefit from them.
It seems to us that every pupil in
the higher grades Of both of the high
schools of the county should attend
the our county institutes. Especial.
ly should those attend who are
about to graduate, as many Of them
will enter the list Of teachers and the
knowledge gained by an attendance
at such an institute would be of in
estimable value to them,

THE RECEPTION.

On Tuesday evening, at the
Academy of Music, Miss Bates, State
Superintendent, gave a lecture on
the subject of tho Little North Da-
kota School House. Miss Bates has
delivered this lecture before many
institutes in the state and it has
always called forth complimentary
remarks from the press. Her lee
ture is practical and was we'll receiv-
ed by the citizens. After the lecture
reception was given in honor of the
visiting teachers and an excellent
program was carried out. The first
was a song by a mixed quartet,
Hail to the Flag. The address Of
welcome was given by Rev. Vincent,
and tho response was made in be-
half of the visitors, by Mrs. Geneva
M. VanMeter, OF Ellendale. This
was followed by reading, Aunt
Sophronia Tabor at the opera" by
Miss Etfie Trauger, Piano Solo,
IL Trovatore, BY Mrs. Charles
S. Brown aud then refreshments
were served. For the admirable
manner in which the guests were
waited upon the ladies are certainly
deserving of praise. We have never
seen crowd served so nicely and
with such system and alacrity.
There were over 300 present and
before one fairly comprehended that
the work had begun everyone had
been bountifully provided. After
the inner man had been regaled,
Toast Master Hood called Dr. Mat
thews, Rev. Baily, Mrs. Hood, Prof.
Hicks and Prof. Perrigo to the plat
form. 1t would be useless for us
at this time to give our readers any
adequate idea Of the program of the
evening. Wit, humor, oratory and
learning sparkled- throughout

Under the present management the
grade has been worked up until now
graduates from our school are admit
ted to the Freshmen year in Grand
Forks Univ ersity without examine
tion.
This is matter of considerable
pride with our people as but few, if
any towns in the state of the size OF
O4kes have the high grading that is
found here.
The school now ranks as to grade
with those of Grand Forks, Fargo,
Bismarck, etc.
1t is question however, whether
the present grade can be maintained
with the present limited corps OF
teachers.
Mrs. j. G. Hood occupies the gram
mar department, while Miss SteEsby
is one Of the most successful workers.
Professor Hood has been thrown
entirely upon his own resources from
early boyhood, aud his experience
again lie nunstratas the fact that it is
po5s:b.,, far any person of energy
aad intelligence to receive college
education.
