A Good Law.

The late Legislature made one i'm
portant change in the school law.
Prior to this the law fixed the term
of school in each district at not less
than five months, but the board of
education could only lay the levy
for school purposes after vote had
been taken on the power to levy.
This feature of the law is changed.
1t requires no vote to levy for five
months. The law gives the board
power to lay the levy. 1t only re-
quires vote to give the board pow
err to levy for a longer term than five
months. The old law did not come
with that injunction which says that
"the Legislature shall provide a
thorough and efficient free school
system" A system that could be
defeated every two years by vote
of the people could not be called a
Thorough and efficient system. -
Oil Review, Sistersville.
The Martinsburg Herald, in com
menting on the above, says:
1--WE have always contended that
the old law, which required an af-
firmative vote each election, was un-
constitutional; and we are glad to
record the fact that the first Repub-
lican Legislature since the adoption
of the constitution provided for a
thorough and efficient free school
system"
The Legislature acted very wisely
in legislating. on this matter as il
did. 1t is not often, however, that a
Democratic paper, like the Review
is frank enough to commend the act
But, while the late Legislature was
not perfect, it's acts in many matters
were wise and helpful, notably in
the case above recited

THE FOUR SEASONS. .
As Viewed by the Doctor, rather than
the Artist.

As Viewed by the Doctor, rather than
the Artist.
We often see in the magazines re-
productions of famous paintings rep
resenting the Four Seasons. They are
generally personated by beautiful wo-
men, and the typical spring is gener-
orally young girl. She is buoyant
and elastic, her eyes are full of fire,
her form lissome and graceful with
health and there breathes from the
canvas the impression of radiant
health.
1t is true, we sometimes see our
young women in such a state of
health in the spring time; but it is
the exception. Depression and languor
are generally in evidence and the
dropping listless figure of the school
girl, the dragging step of the house
wife, are seen in nearly every home
Perfect health is rare in any season,
but this is especially SO in the spring.
The great majority of the people need
tonic in the spring. There are a
great many tonics and they are all
taken by the people to greater or
less extent. But the one that seems
most popular at this time of the year
is Pe-ru-na. 1t strengthens the
weary body, invIgorates the nerves
and clears the the mind. 1t leaves
no bad effect upon the system when
it is discontinued. The fact of the
efficacy of Pe-ru-na as spring tonic
is becoming more widely known every
spring. More Pe-ru-na is being taken
this spring than ever before. The peo-
pie have learned that it is unfailing,
and so do not experiment, but imme-
diately buy Pc ru-na when the old
listlessness of s'spring fever" over
takes them.

"rhe GobIins win Get You."

In the Washington Post, which IS
engaged in violent endeayor to
prevent Mr.. Cleveland from Selling
the Presidency in 1900, we find this
statement to-day:
Is Grover Cleveland scheming to
be renominated for the Presidency
in 1900? The Southern Democrats
now in Washington answer the
question in the affirmative. They
are as certain that the Reform Club
dinner was the beginning Of his
campaign as that the sun shines on
a clear day.
We have seen tempests in teapots
before, but we have never seen SO
great a tempest in teapot so small
as this. The Reform Club dinner
was nothing more nor less than an
anniversary meeting of number of
very distinguished gentlemen, who
made some very excellent speeches
in reply to some very interesting
toasts. Mr.. Cleveland's presence at
the banquet was of no more signifi-
canoe than that of Mr.. Carlisle or of
Mr.. Wilson or of Mr.. Caflrey, and
the talk Of the dinner being held for
the purpose of springing Mr.. Cleve-
land on the country as Presiden
tial candidate in 1900 is utterly alb
surd.
Mr. Watterson's gauzy, double
loaded editorial of alarm" was
prompted no doubt by two things
first, his dislike Of Mr.. Cleveland,
and second, his desire to sensation
alize the incident and attract atten-
ton to the Courier-Journal and to
Mr.. Watterson. 1t is easy enough
to see why the free-silver Democrats
from .he South and the West have
taken mp the cry. The National
/ ittiIIbtidtS SUM- AittNttii tDtlii anu
the election of Bryan last Noeem-
Der, and they are the chief bnlwark
now between Organism and what it
is striving for. Our unhappy friends
seem to have made bugaboo OF Mr.
Cleveland, and now they take fright
at his very shadow. For ourselves,
if we were very much afraid of a
candidate capturing Presidential
nomination at convention to be
held four years ahead, we should
not ask anything better than that
he be brought out now. 1t gives
such a good chance to puncture his
'.boom."
But as far as Mr.. Cleveland is
concerned, it ought not to be neces-
sary to remind the gentlemen who
are displaying so much concern
about him that he has never had to
intrigue for nominations. They have
all come to him as gift from the
people when politicians were doing
their very best to prevent the catas-
trophe which they predicted would
follow. And as for Colonel Waiter
sons gift of foresight, we never read
one of his lurid predictions that we
do not recall his famous prophecy in
1892 to the effect that Mr. Cleve-
lands nomination meant walking
through slaughter-hou into an
open grave" We must confess, how
ever, that we can see no peace in the
future for the Cleveland haters. He
is not going to leave the country,
and while he is here the presence of
danger must hang over them like a
cloud 1t is terrible thing to be
constantly apprehensive that the
"goblins will git you if you don't
watch out" but there is no help for
it.-Baltimore Netcs.
