the shape of a family reunion was held
Saturday. Sept. II, 1897, at the Old
Montgomery homestead, il Clinton

length of the dining room well laaen
with snbstantials and delicacies.
After dinner part of the afternoon
was pleasantly spent IN social inter,
course, in "reminiscences OF the Times
spent under the same roof in former
wears and of the loved ones departed
for the better land.
AT about four o'clock all assembled
at one spot and had their picture taker
with not little amusement.
Supper was served at about o'clock

HARRISBURG.


There has been issued from the AdJu-
tant Generals Department roster OF
applications for transportation toChatta-
nooga under the provisions of the act OF
Julv 22d, 1897. The trip will probably
be takeu in November.
An apparently fair estimate places
the expenditures of the State in sending
the troops to supp ress the out
break in the vicinity of Hazelton at
1925, 900. The National Guard law OF
1887 fixes the pay of first sergearts al
SO day, sergeants 81, corpor''ls sl-f7'
musicians and privates $3.50, and each
enlisted man after having served full
term of enlistment shall be entitled
to an additional pay of 25 cents per day
for service during his second term and
! a further addition of p cents per day
for service during each subsequent
term of enlistment.

The Dingley tariff started the wheels
and hands of American industry TO

full employment the home consump-
ton of breadstuffs and meats will be
still more largely increased. The home
demand is still the real key to the val
ues of American grain and meats II all
the American laborers are given full
employment at American wages the
home consumption will be large, and
the worlds demand for our surplus
toodstuffs unprecedented during the past
quarter of a century. If the wilson
German tariff hard times had con-
tinued during 1897, and the consump-
ton of wheat in the United States been
reduced to the two and a half bushels
per CAPITA, as it was in 1894, the United
States could have supplied twice the
amount of wheat that will be neces-
sary to supply the worlds deficiency
But the American people are all going

1t is a fact which statistics prove.
and which no intelligent man disputes,
that in the year 1892, after the McKin-

the average rate of wages in this coun-

that the aggregate number of men en-

RULE WITH REASON.
The Parents of City Pupils Demand Re-
consideration of Arbitrary Board

Rules.
The indignation over the recent order
made by the school board still continues.
The order which was given out by the
teachers. pursuant to instructions, was in
effect that any pupils absenting them
selves from school to attend the carnival
would be liable to suspension. A similar
rule was recently enforced in regard to
the races. In passing these orders the
board was not unanimous, Neil McKer-
zie having made strenuous objections.
1t is contended that these rules are un,
just and not in keeping with the powers
granted to school boards; that the will OF
the parent, if within the bounds of reason
and the best good of the pupils are at all
times - be considered. The board is
invested with powers to make rules for
the government of the schools; to make
rules that will accomplish the greatest
good to the greatest number. The will
of the parent will occasionally clash with
these rules. Where within reason that
will is paramount.
The rule which has been adopted in
the present instance was made to cover
a special case. 1t disregards the regular
rule making six consecutive half day
absences punishable by suspension. 1t
fixes the penalty for an absence of any
duration, even with the consent of the
parents, if the absence is for the purpose
of attendance at the carnival.
The question, therefore, to be decided
is whether or not the wish of the parent
in this case would be reasonable. Would
the excusing of the numbers of pupils
that are to 60 to Denver seriously inter-
fere with the school work? Would that
number be sufficient to close the
schools on one or more of those days?
The people so far as can be learned are
demanding, not pleading for. rescind-
ing of the rule. In the event of a refusal
to comply on the part of the school
board, it seems possible that the case will
be tested in the courts.
