II wonder if I'm more of snob than

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
Germany breeding Trouble.

PATTERSON, IN. j., June l0.-Her-
man Flick Patterson, q naturalized
citizens Of the United States, has for
five months been confined under mill
tary charge in the village of Kohen by
Rengstedt in Germany. The. cause
alleged for imprisonment is his liabil-
ity to service in the army of the
country, but as he is provided with
passports FROM the Department Of
State and is moreover much under
the height required for recruits, it is
thought there are other reasons. Just
before his illness began Secretary
Gresham received some startling in
formation conceoning the continued
imprisonment of an American in Ger
many, and although the Hines pre-
vented immediate action the Depart
mept has now taken hold Of it vigor-
ously.
BATH, IN Y.l June 10. Davis
Rothschild, n leading business man of
Bath, has received letter from his
brother, Morris Rothschild, who went
to Germany last month, stating that
an attempt was made to force him in
to the German army. He reached his
fathers house at Eishiten in the
latter part of May. After being there
IL week he was arrested and kept in
prison forty. eight hours despite his
protests that he was Il citizen of the
United States and offered his pass
ports and naturalization papers in
proof. At the end of two days he was
brought before military court. eX-
amincd and found eligible for service
i'll the German army. His papers
were taken from him. and he was
sentenced to six weeks in prison, at
the end of which time he must begin
Il three years term in the army. David
Greismar of New York, who accom-
panied Rothschild, employed lawyer
who laid the facts before the military
auth or tiles, with the result that the
sentence was changed to fine of 800
marks, and the papers were forwarded
to the War Department at Berlin.
which will decide whether Rothschild
shall serve lis army time. Rothschild
paid the fine. Pending the decision
of the War Department he has gone
to Switzerland where he now is.
Davis Rothschild will communicate
at once with the State Department in
Washington regarding the matter.
One of the papers taken from Roth
schild and forwarded to Berlin was a
regular passport of the United States
bearing the signature of Secretary
Gresham.

Immediately. The crowd took her and
her father from The cart; they escaped

Then he is required to pay about

The Cost OF Ignorance.

Do you know why from 1861 To
1865 the United States was turned
into o slaughter house in which
men, not food animals, were butch
cred! Do you know why men
were industriously engaged in
burning the houses of their own
countrymens Do you know why
an era of hate was inaugurated that
will last for a century, You think
the cause of the war was chattle
tlavery, DO you notl Well, it
was not. The war was the direct
result Of one set of ignoramuses
electing another set to make laws
and run the government for them.
Of voters not knowing whom to
elect and not caring so they elect
ed somebody that somebody told
them belonged to some party.
Slavery existed in Brazil but it
did not take a war to abolish its
There we're men in the north and
men in the south who, while differ
ing in their views of slavery, could
have settled the question without
loss of blood or treasure. These
men were not the kind the people
would vote for. They wanted
some fire eaters. They wanted
men with big mouths and no
brains. They got them and behold
the results. Had the north elect
ed a congress like Lincoln and the
} nth elected men like Stephens,
toere would have been no war of
the rebellion. There is a crisis ap-
preaching that is far more omni-
Gus than the late war and will be
far more momentous in its infuen-
ces. If the people had political
intelligence enough to elect men
who knew how to handle it, it
would come like spring morning
in flowers and gladness, but if
they do not, it will come like
vell, like ignorance always does
whatever it undertakes. Clouds
are gathering over this nation, but
ignorance sees them not.-Coming

the revenue from whisky for one
year would pay the criminal costs
for three years. Just think of it!
Now, Mr.. Editor, l ask you if
you don't think that it would be-
better policy to use this surplus to
improve our public schools rather
than lose it all! The first demand
OF the Populists is for education;
it requires good schools to educate
and plenty of money to run the
schools.
Let lis agltate the question of Civ
ing this money to the public schools

we can talk about prohibition.

others like me. And here is the
point want to make, and l shant
take up much of your space, Mr..
Editor,
When the police jury submitted
| the question to the people for a
vote, l happened to be in town on
school business. At the same time
. that this was done the school board
on which are some members of the
police jury, discontinued all schools
in the parish for one month because
there wasn't any money in the
treasury. / thought this was fun
ny, and ] wondered how onr school
board could quietly discontinue
our schools for want of funds, and
then (some OF them) turn around
and try to lopp of q large slice of
the revenues of the parish. What
was tie purpose anyhow, Mr.. Ed
itorg t
Don't you think that if our po-
lice jury, containing some Of the
school board members, as ] said
before, had passed all ordinance
making part of the liquor licenses
available for the public schools
they would have done much better
and besides earned the gratitude of
the poor people of the parish! ]
think so.
| Now, 1 want to ask my populist
friends in Ward 2, (because | am
populist mysslf) if we have any
thing to fear from the sale of Ii
quorsa AS / said before, there is
lone sold hero and hardly any in
! ward 8, our neighbor. And we
don't need prohibition to keep it
out. Now suppose instead Of help
ing to shut it out, We ask the po-
lice jury to turn over 70 the school
board some of the revenues deriv-
cd for licensing it. If we would
add this amount to what we al
ready have perhaps our schools
wouldn't be closed on us at a time
whom we need them worse, and
perhaps, too, we could have them
continued for a longer time during
the year. "A
When l was In town / Iasked the
sheriff how much was received
from liquor licenses and l also ask
ed him about the criminal expen-
ses of the parish. His answer
was surprising. He said that the
amount from licenses was nearly
81, 900 and that they had always
covered the costs of the criminal
business, and be said also that since
