OUR SCHOOLS.
Tho High School Abandoned for tho
Present.

Tho High School Abandoned for the
Present.
At meeting of the school board held
last evening, it was decided that 10 the
interest Of economy, it was best to dis
continue the high school, as, for the
past two or three years the attendance
was only about six or eight pupils.
The principal'of the schools will now
have charge of the 9Th grade and the
immediate supervision OF all the other
grades in the city.
Mrs. Tucker, the 9Th grade teacher
will he engaged in the first and second
grades, which are now 80 crowded thai
the services OF an additional teacher are
absolutely necessary.
The board also concluded to cease
furnishing drawing books and spelling
tablets for the schools, as hes been it's
custom heretofore, aintainirg that
IT would be juet as consistent to furnish
text books.
There are already 465 scholars enroll
ed, although the schools have been in
session but little more than q week, and
the prospects are more than bright for
q successful year.

POPULISTS' RALLY.
Several Good Speakers Discuss Mat
tiers Purely Political.

Our populistic brethren turned out ip
force lsst night to show what they
could do in the way of rstifying.
There was no parade and the boom
ing of fireworks and the patriotic tunes
of the bands we're lacking, but that
was according to prearranged pro-
grsmme. They concluded that crowd
could tie attracted without pomp or
noise, and they figured rlghtfully. They
also concluded that the 'rooter" ele-
ment was not wanted and there was an
absence of that class.
1t was quiet, orderly gathering,
more like caUpmeetiDg than polIti-
cal assent lage. It was held on the
Presbyterian church grounds and q
good sized audience was present. The
pictures OF Bryan and Watson occu-
pied prominent places Oh the stand
After each speaker bad his say the
Populist Giee Club rendered catchy
campaign songs, such es SWELL Own
the Earth" 'GoIng to Get There,
Sure" "The Patches on My Psnts,"
and the Poor White Slave" to the tune
of popular songs. The songs made a
decided hit" With the audience.
The peakers were W. II Winters, S.
5. Green, Al. H. Repo, n. A. Giant ton, L.
[. Hill. TIE address OF the evening was
delivered by A. V. Van Doran. The
speakers handled the mosey question
without gloves and were especially Sc
I we're on the gold bug element Con-
vlnclng arguments we're made as to why
We would be benefited with the free
coinage Of silver at the ratio OF 16 to 1.
The voters present were called upon to
cast their ballots for the populist nomin-
ees at the coming election.
1t was popularity supposed that Bucky
O'Neill, nominee for delegate to con-
gress, would be present and address the
meeting, but Buckley is busy up north.
Altogether it was successful rally
and the auditors paid close attention to
the remarks OF the speakers.-Republi-

OF campaigning this morning. Having
left Bath, Me-, at midnight, where there
was scramble for sleepers, the party
was aroused from sleep at 5 o'clock
when Lynn was reached. There was
much surprise in the party when they
reached it to learn o! the burning of the
underwear factory of W. III. Burns &
Co., on Salem square, Worcester. This
was the building on which was display
ed last Friday during Bryan's speech,
directly in front of it, large American
flag bearing Major McKinley's portrait,
and an equally large red flag with Mr..
Brysn's picture. The police have been
making efforts to secure the original
dispatch sent from Worcester to Bryan
expressing qualification that the factory
had bsen burned but the telegraph con-
pany has thus far refused to surrender
it.

Knocked Ont.

Stafford is knocked out for the present
SO far as the county seat is concerned,
and we have very little to say about it,
except that the fact of it not coming
here this year will not retsrd the growth
Of the town one iots. HeI citizens will
put forth the same spirit Of enterprise
aud business push as before, and when
the time comes to bring the question up
again will be in better shape to do 10.
The law is in such shape that to move
county seat is out of the question, AS
the name of any particular place cannot
be printed on the bsllot, leaving il open
for each individual to vote for bis espe-
cial locality, and 1t wss deemed The
wiser plan not to attempt to call an cleo
ton under the present law, az there
was no earthly chance Of success, and
had an election been called and the
movement been defeated, that would
end the matter for four years. As it
now stands it can again be considered
in two years.
The board of supervisors acted fairly
in the matter, and laid it on the table
with the consent OF Safford's represen-
tatives.-Guardisp.

THE REvOLUTIONISrS.

Along tho Border.

Along tho Border.
Capt. Pitcher of the First o. S. cayal-
~, has been ordered with his command
from Deming to aseIet the U. S. Mar
shsi. who ia rounding up the gsrg OF out
lawe infestnR the border, snd raided the
Palomes custom house. Three troops
Of the Second Mexican cavalry under
LIeutenant-C Colonel Gonzalez, are also
patrolling the border. The soldiers at
Fort Bliss hope they will be ordered out
to patrol the local border so as to give
them something to do.
Deputy Marshal Loomis gives the
Republican this account Of the robbers
of the Mexican custom house:
"Hhere we're twenty-six men in the
party. The guard at the building con-
sisted of four soldiers and an officer.
They went upoo the roof and fired a
volley at the robbers. Cavalry AID
infantry within sound Of the guns soon
arrived. Two robbers we're killed ano
four wounded. The rest scattered
along tho Rio Grsnde. The men are
all known Mexican outlaws who are
wanted for offenses in Mexico. The
marshal had traced one of the raiders
together with two of the wounded men
to Mesills park, where they had taken
the O'Clock train for Ell Paso Thurs
day evening. Deputy Sheriffs Brent
and John Casey we're on the trail and
found that the men reached Mesills
park that morning and had remained
IN hiding until the train came in.
The we'll man had been around offer
ing to cell his revolver and probably
succeeded in raising enough money to
take all to Ell Paso. 1t is thought by
Deputy Loomis that the men arrested

EARLY MINING LAWS
Formerly the Gold Mines were Public
Property.

= Ox"eVxI tho G3O1O 0xx000 w 0x0 uOxIC
Property.
"The earliest mining laws were en-
acted, not by congress-, but by the
miners themselves in the mining dis
tricts," writes ex-Preeident Harrison
in October Ladies' Home Journal. cit
is curious fact that from lS49 to 1866,
the period Of the greatest development
in the mining of gold, there was no law
of the United States regulating the cub
ject. The prospectors roamed over the
public lands, located placer or quartz
minee, and took out fabulous store OF
gold, without any title Whatever to the
lands from which they dug this great
store of wealth. They were in strict
sense trespassers. A policy TO reserve
mineral lsude from sale under the gener-
al lard laws bad prevailed for many
years, and had teen expressed in suit
able lave, but no provision lad been
made for the sale Of such lands.
'In the land grants to the Pacific
rsilroad companies it was provided that
mineral lands should not psss under the
granite. The river beds, gulches and
mountain sides we're prospected by men
who carried picks and basins in their
hands, and brace Of pistols IN their
bette. They we're af1ame with the lust of
gold, and among them were many
desperate men; but they bad the Anglo
Saxon instinct for organizing civil in
situations, and his love of fair play.
There we're no mining laws, and In
many places none OF any sort. They
met the emergency by public meeting,
which resolved itself into legislative
body with full powers, and made q code
that did not cover Q wide field, but
covered their case. The limits of a
claim aud the distribution Of the water
supply were prescribed and established,
and every man became q warrantor of
every other mans title. This camp
legislators had this advantage OF cen
Rrese, and OF all other legislative bodies
that know of-they had good prsctic-
al knowledge of the subjects they dealt
with"
