d MOCRATIC STATE CONTEN-

Henry A. Use was nominated for Cover

There is growing feeling OF the people
OF the section that it is high time we had
one. The average Democrat of the Valley,
OF this generation, knows no more Of his
party s great organization than the little
precinct OF court house meeting which be

qualntance with his State convention is a
distant one-he ean't get close enough to be

COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Last week We clipped from an exchange
a contract between kansas School Board
and teacher, in which the teacher was
REQUIRED to sweep the School house, start
the fires, and furnish the matches. She
received salary Of $35 per month. Our
tract between the School Boards in Angus
ia county and the teachers, is not unlike
the one in Kansas. There is, however,
some difference. For instance, in Augusta
school onse. and starts the fires, but she
is, also, expected to have the wood cut,
and furnish the kindling! And she doesn t
received $50 per month. She is allowed to
close school on National Thanksgiving day
at her own cost. She must make that day
up, OF she will not be paid for it, She is
required to give six days holiday at Christ
mas, but she must make up four Of those
days; the other two are really given to her,
ard need not lie paid back in extra service.
Notwithstanding some of these require
ments seem out of date, and the salaries
are small, and the school term short, no
more faithful, OF better equipped corps Of
teachers are to be found any where.
We do not know Of more practical
New year resolution for farmers than one
determining to give more attention to the
neighboThood school. In large ma ority
of cases all the education the boys and girls
raised on the farm will get is what they
receive at the public school. The parents,
and taxpayers, should see to it that the
the school buildings are comfortable and
attractive: and the teachers competent,
and attentive to their duties. They should
demand that parents be furnished with
monthly reports showing the attendance
and standing Of the pupils, in order that
parents may have an intelligent idea of
their progress. Such reports are usual in
sll city schools, and have been for years,
and indeed are issued weekly; but they
nave not. heretofore, been used in the coun-
ty. The only instance, we think, of their

teacher, at her own expense, has recently

upon them, by the helpful interest of the

THE WAR FURRY.

As far as the United States is concerned
the war furry following the President s
Venezuela message is pretty well over, but
the governments in Central and South
America are still under the celebrating
influences OF the message and still ''celebrat-
ing.'' Venezuela has made special cele-
bration of the event at her capital and pro.
cesson of forty thousand men marched in
it's honor. In the republic Of Brazil the
President Of the State in which there is
territory in dispute between it and French
Guiana, is fortifying inside it's limits and
sending troops there. If some OF those
petty republics do not commence hostili-
ties with England and France in the ex-
huberance of their Monroe doctrine feel

and the forbearaloe Of those powers.
Across the water Great Britain, having

public utterance, including that Of th.
Prince of W a!es nj o. tx-premier Rose
berry, deplores Il war with The Unite
States on such an issue. The C ntinentt
powers. however. seem to have reached TIE
belief that their interests on such all issu,
as the President has raised, would lie will
Great Britain.
The ''jingoes'' in America, even the
venerable and rheumatic eX-COnfederate
officers who are bidding for job, have
come to the conclusion that this nation
does not want a war, though they have not
altogether given up their war talk. The
ancient fact that Russia offered the United
States two years ago to lend her gold TO
tide over the hard times, has been revamp-
ed into story that Russia has just
offered this country all the gold it wants
in case CT war with England. The
United States fighting civilized Great
Britain with sem1-bar barous Russia as an
ally would be spectacle well calculated to
make the angels weep.

A BRIEF SESSION OF THE LEGLS-
LATUREt

We must confess that we cannot fathom
the limitations that come from Richmond,
and elsewhere as well, to the effect that the
legislature twill dispose of its business by
the end Of January and adjourn" What
is the character of the business it will
dispose Of is an important qrestion. 1t
has been many years since legislature
assembled in Richmond with as many
questions of large Importance as faced this
one when it met in the early days of
December. The calling of constitutional
conventions; the adoption Of measures of
retrenchment which would tighten the bur-
deus of the people; the settling Of the cleo
ton law matter, and many others are all
before it to be disposed Off in q brief
three weeks, if the reported January adj
journment is correct. And this by body
OF whom nearly two-thirds are new and
inexperienced members The confidence
with which an unusually early adjournment
is predicted arouses the apprehension that
sufficient number of it's members have
passed under c0ntrOi''-a word difficult
to make clear, but well understood in pub
lie affairs-and that the prophets are in a
position to speak with certainty. That
the few measures those in control are in
terested in will be passed, and the business
of the State at large side-tracked, seems to
lis to be the meaning OF 9 January adjourn.

an early adjournment will arouse strong
