TILLOTSON SEMINARY.

| hope the friends of Tillotson in
Vermont will be glad to hear a word
from this faraway corner of the
world where at least one star is con-
stantly rising. Our term opened in
October with more in attendance
than last year, and there was pros
pect OF considerable increase in the
near future. This increase has been
slowly going on until we have nearly
100 names on the roll.
Up to June %, there was a pros
pect for large crop of cotton, but
the sudden cessation of rains from
that date up to the first of Septem-
Der so checked the growth of plants
that but little was made, and the
frequent rains after the latter date
injured much that was grown. In
consequence, many farmers picked
their own crop instead of giving en-
ployment to others and the large
number of people whose livelihood
depends very largely upon a pro.
longed stay at 1.-THE worlds fair"
each year, as they call the cotton
picking, were employed but few
weeks instead OF three or four months
as formerly. Hence our attendance
of town pupils is smaller than would
otherwise be and from the country
comes the wall 1.-THE crops is so
smallw
The number of boarding students
is larger than last year and all are
doing good work. We have better
school than last year, but there are
so many who can pay but a little
money! they want to work out half,
two.thirds or all of their wages" so
that we find it hard to meet current
expenses without calling on the A.
M. A. treasury for more than they
can well give us.
Last year we determined to use as
little as possible of this consecrated
money and saved enough of what
was appropriated, so we sent draft
for $500 back to New York and then
had enough to pay for having cleo
trio lights put into both dormitories.
The object of this was two fold; to
have better light and at less cost.
The city of Austin has built a mag
niticent dam across the Colorado
river and now furnish us light and
water at a very low cost. For ex-
ample, one sixteen candle power
lamp at thirty.fve cents per month,
or FIVE at twenty cents, while by
meter, at five cents per thousand
watts.
This year our fund for student aid
is all cut off. We were given one
thousand dollars last year, and this
isnow our most pressing need. We can
make little money 60 along way.
but the little is wanting, and 500
would help three students through
the rest OF the year.
Our new girls domitory still waits
for name. wish some reader of
this paper would erect a lasting
monument to his or her name by
meeting the offer of the Association,
namely to give 81 900 for our work
and name the new building. 1t is
built of brick and is very handsome,
costing several thousand dollars fur
nished by the general treasury.
Many man pays $1,000 or more
for monument OF stone; this would
be monument of lives made useful,
of souls gathered for the heavenly
garner of men and women redeemed
from ignorance, vice and perhaps of
crime to intelligent citizenship, Who
will claim the honor in this time
when the difficulty of obtaining
money and the pressure of its need !
would render the gift double bless |

THE impression that is trying to be
created abroad that Clayton is tyrant
and rules the republicans OF Arkansas
with an iron hard, with Henry NJ. Cooper
to execute his commands as they come
down from Eureka Springs, wont work.
Neither does the public believe that
these kickcrs can better the condition
Of the republican party in Arkansas by
n change Of leaders. The party, as u
party. In Arkansas, is all right; our
leaders are honest, sincere and devout
republicans-wishing at all times to see
the principles OF protection and human
rights vindicated and triumph. The
trouble, gentlemen, is not in the repub-
lican leaders, but in the trickery OF
your democratic bosses In suppressing
the will OF the people through this infa-
nous voting and counting system, which
they would have the world to believe
is the Australian system. DO away
with this law and allow every citizen
to cast one honest vote, and have that
vote counted Us east, and you will
have no room for complaint against
Clayton, Cooper or any Of his lcuten-
ants The last republican convention
was the most representative in the his
tory of the party, 1t was CONSPICUOUS
on account OF the number OF young men
that was In II. There was no "kicks"
but everything worked as smooth as
glass. McKinleylsm superseded every
other thought This 'lsicling' comes
after the convention. and, why? Be-
cause some particular republican did
not get on the state central committee,
and nothing more. Well, II you must
kick, we say kick on, and the rank and
file Of the party will watch your kicks,
and hear your tales Of woe until you
land yourselves among those that you
mostly like. Guess, ehi tGr. 4

beds and out of dark places, and preach
