pLEBiSCITE NIT.
Mr. Snlder Says the Government
Will Not Recognize 1t.

E. w. B. Snider of St. Jacobs,
Ontario, a member of the council for
that province, and a defeated govern
ment candidate for the commons in
1895, has been in this city during the
past few days, looking after land inter-
ests. Mr.. Snider gave his opinion on
the result of the prohibition plebiscite
voted on in the Dominion a week ago
to-day, in which the plebiscite carried
by small majority.
He stated that in his opinion the
majority was not large enough to war
rant the government in introducing a
prohibition measure, and carrying it
through to law. He said that the
vote clearly showed that large por-
ton of the population did not vote at
all, and consequently the government
could not take official cognizance of
the fact that the plebiscite had carried.
As government supporter, he was of
the opinion that the government wo uld
not introduce the bill, and if the oppo-
sition did so, it would create lively
time and a great division of the politi-
cal parties in the Dom inion.
Mr.. Snider stated that the vote
showed one thing, and that was that
the people of Canada we're rapidly
moving on towards the temperance
idea, and he believed that it was only
question of few years when the
temperance proposition would become
so strong as to be enacted in plat
forms of either party. The province
of Quebec, where the largest vote
against the plebiscite was cast, was
rapidly moving toward temperance as
evidenced BY a comparison of the vote
of last Thursday and the vote Of other
years.

and the children clean, bright and heal
thy. Such schools are teaching what all
teachers should teach, good habits.
Some schools are bookish. Most, how
ever, are practical, and teach first of
all habits of order, cleanliness, and
duty each to order. These precede
arithmetic, history and geography.
It seems somewhat encouraging II We
for one moment look backward but
ten years over the educational history
of this country. There were then 81
districts. Nearly anyone could teach
school. There were 46 third grade
certificates in force. There was but
one first grade certificate in force out
side the villages. There was no public
school library. The unabridged die
tionary was q rarity. Districts were
frequently. without blackboards.
Sometimes an outhouse was q luxury.
Maps, globes and q reading chart were
nearly unknown, outside the villages.
The Teachers Reading Circle and the
Monthly Meetings of Teachers for
consultation, both were unknown.
The High School Graduate had just
made her debut, as the highest water
mark in educational fitness as rural
school instructor. Free text books
for pupils provoked smiles. But the
world is young. The process of evo-
luton is slow, but it ever moves for
ward. This year of '98 we are to have
an average of y months of school for
the entire county. Fifty-six Normal
and high school graduates will teach
in this county. There are now only
six third grade or conditional second
grade certificates in force. Ninety
teachers we're last year members of
the State Teachers Reading Circle.
Nearly all take one, two, and often
three educational journals for self i'm
provement. I do know that these
meetings and journals have helped
much to improve our schools. Boards
of trustees now quite generally de-
mand at least that the teachers shall
hold second grade certificate as q
minimum of scholarship. To the
school officers, teachers and press of
this county may be given the credit
for the improvement of our schools.
In behalf of the children of the Red
wood county schools l desire to thank
all of you. But we must not sit down
feeling that this work now so we'll
commenced will go on. It will not.
The poorer, unequipped. schools
must, with your help, be improved.
Let me say, as supervisor, that with
out your cooperation nothing can be
done. You must set the example,
worth at least imitation, if not ex-
ceiling. Sincerely,
S. j. RACE,
Supt. of Schools.

under the stove for fresh air should be
some larger, 12x16. Four schools this
year are putting in the plan for trial.
Hard coal, if the schoolrooms are
comfortable, is preferable for heating.
1t may be somewhat more expen-
sive, but it's much more convenient.
Cold schoolrooms in the mornings
are menace to the b alth Of our
children. Some twenty districts tried
last year hard coal for fuel. All we're
fairly we'll pleased. The trouble lies
in the chimneys and in the small fire
pots of the stoves. A fire pot should
be Mt least Is inches in diameter, in
side measurement. Surface burners
are expensive. Get base burning
stoves, with large fire pots, and with
deep fues in the base of the stoye and
good big aues in chimney-say 8x12
inches and all will be we'll. Poor
light in our schoolrooms, is causing
us much trouble. A light can he too
bright and do more harm to q delicate
eye than one too dim. It's difficult
task to get these conditions right, but
it can be done. All windows should
be curtained with material not too
dark in tints. Dark brown, dark blues,
dark green's, and dark drabs should
never be used. The pale tints, such
as light green, buffs and grays, soften
without obstructing the light entirely.
The wooden slat, furnished in natural
wood color, tempers the light nicely.
The cost, while much more at first than
cloth curtains, is in reality cheaper in
the end. Good light is as necessary
as is good teaching.
SANITATION.
How much this one word calls up.
No, good teaching or good citizenship
can come from dirty schoolrooms, un-
tidy teachers, untidy children, poor
surrounding, and last of all, poor out
houses or water closets. This last ar
ticle, in number of districts. is but q
make shift. Instead oftwo outhouses
or privies, there is but one. It is too
small. 1t is poorly built. It is unus-
able one half of the year. It is rarely
disinfected. 1t is filthy, and vice
breeder. It should 60 into the past
OF forgetfulness. There should be in
each district of this county two good,
we'll built outhouses, say SKI feet and
eight feet high to plate, with ventila-
tors leading from vaults outward
The vaults should be disinfected at
least three times yearly with lime and
sublimates. Some districts have the
past year very nicely solved this
question. I believe we do not realize
how very serious is this question.
lido sincerely rejoice, when making
my visitations, to see, as is frequently
seen, bright, we'll kept schoolrooms,
clean, good, commodious outhouses

REFUSE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
Ohio senatorial Investigating Com
mittee L. HnNing u Hard Timc.


COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 19.-Thc nvestiga-
ticn into the charge of bribery at the recent
election of a United States senator reached
g crisis tonight. No matter what may be
the final result of the investigation there
will likely be several witnesses arrested for
contempt. The committee had seven wit
nesses subpoenaed for tonight, but they were
not all examined because none of them
would testify.
The senate committee last night examined
Samuel Bentland, Frank p Ross, w. f.
Trues6ale and Shepherd NJ. Dunlap, who then
asked to confer with their attorneys and
were excused till tonight for that purpose.
When they appeared tonight they said their
attorneys held that the senate had no jurs-
diction in the investigation of the alleged
bribery CT a member of the house. and had
advised them not to answer any further
questions before the committee. They all
followed the advice Of their attorneys a9
did Mr.. Hollenbeck, who was not on the
stand last night.
When the committee found that the advice
OF the attorneys was being followed uni
formy byaau the witnesses called, the open
session was closed and the committee went
into executive session on plans for further
procedure.
The senate chamber was crowded while
tho committee, in open session, attempted
frCn 80 to v p. m, 10 examine lhe VIII
nesses. and the action of the witnesses
caused demonstrations of derision. The
witnesses did not decline to tell the name
OF their counsel and their replies showed
that most eminent lawyers had been en-
gagged in the case.
It is not denied that the house has jurs-
diction, but attorneys have told the wit
nesses that the senate has no jurisdiction
and that they need not reply to their ques-
tions. The members of the house investiga-
ton committee were present today by invi-
tation and they were requested to ask
questions, but none of them took any part.
Judge Robertson, who has served with dis
tinction on the bench at Cincinnati, Is
member of the senate committee, and Is
prosecutor. He wore himself out tonight
in asking questions and getting the monoto-
nous reply "On the advice OF counsel /
decline to answer
AS the committee will make partial re-
port to the senate tomorrow lively time is
expected. The committee will ask the senate
to punish the witnesses for contempt and
to give the investigators full authority.
The committee was in executive session
from 8 to II o'clock and adopted by vote
of to 1, Garfield voting in the negative,
resolution to refer the whole matter back
to the senate and ask for further instruc-
tions and power.

GARY NAY CAPTURE THE TOCA
Postmaster General Believed TO Be the
Coming Man,
MARYLAND LEGISLATURE VOTES AGAIN
Judge McComns gains Two, but His
Friends Expected More, and the
Result IL Disappointing
to Them.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 19.-The senate
ard house met in joint session, and otter
casting one ballot for United States SEN
ator to succeed Arthur z. German, ad-
journed until tomorrow The ballot resulted
as follows: McComas, SO; Shaw, IL; Shy
rock, 2; Milliken. q Barbour. 6; Urner 1;
German, 46 Findlay, 2; Parran c. Lowndes,
1; total 113; necessary to choice, 81; alb
sent, 4.
The vote cast for Judge McComas shows
an increase of two over that received by him
yesterday. One of these came from Senator
Dober of Baltimore city, who left the Shaw
ranks. and the other from Delegate Dryden
of Somerset, who was absent on the first
day of the balloting. Major Shaw's loss
through the desertion of Senator Dobler was
made up by the accession of Delegate Robin
son of Baltimore city, who voted for Cen
eral Shryock yesterday Senator German
gained a vote in the person of Senator Ap-
plegarth, who voted yesterday for Judge
Henry Page.
The outcome of the days balloting was a
distinct disappointment to the followers Of
Judge McComas, they having confidently ex-
pected a gain of at least eight more votes
than they get. This feature Is thought to-
indicate the possible return Of Postmaster
ere looked upon as his whenever he wants
them.
Many expect "Shryock landslide" within
few days If some one is not chosen in that
time. A caucus of the republican majority
will almost certainly be held tomorrow night
and an attempt will be made to force the re-
cacitrants into line. Thirty-cne signatures
have been appended to the call and 1t is as
sorted that six more will be added before
midnight. Thirty-four are necessary to Sc
euro a majority of the republican members
and senators of the general assembly.
1t is said that Postmaster General Gary
has requested his six supporters who have
voted for Thomas Parran, to go into caucus
and abide by the decision of that body. 1t
is claimed that a majority of the six have
signfed their willingness to do 60
Tonight's developments indicate that to-
morrows battle win be a repetition of to-
days vote. Indication of an attempt at
coalition between the Faithful eleven" and
tho democratic members for the purpose of
electing a Baltimore city man, are growing
stronger every hour. Such a combination
would probably mean Shaw or Master

NEW FOOT BALL RULES SUBMITTED.
Several Important Changes Are Sug-
aested hN the Cnmmittee.


CHICAGO. Jan. 19.-The revised western
foot ball rules. over which Prof. A. A. Stage
of the Chicago university and Prof H. II
Everett of the University of Illinois have
been peering for over a month, were sent
out after a final conference yesterday The
rules must now be submitted to the seven
universities watch united in presenting the
committee and hard fight is likely over
their adoption.
The alterations in the rules are less
sweeping than many anticipated The vital
change is that radically altering the present
system Of scoring. The goal, after a touch
down. is slated to count for only one addi-
tional point; the drop kick for four, the
place kick for three, and the safety for
two.
There is no change of the men in the line
but 1t is provided that if two men are drawn
back of the line they shall be outside of
the line of scrimmage. Another safeguard
against roughness is that imposing a penalty
for laying hands on opponents before the
ball is put into play.
An important alteration also is that per-
mtting to the side scored on the choice of
kick eff
Other changes suggested are in defining
the safety; allowing fifteen yards instead of
ten on the kickout after a kick for goal
on the first down; permitting only two min
utes of time taken out for injuries and mod
flying the penalty imposltons when the ball
Is close to the goal line. The committee
reserves several suggestions on duties of Of
ticials, which will be submitted if the COM
mittee is continued

DISCUSS PARDON FOR REBELS
Hawaiian Cabinet Has Matter Under
Advisement.

HONOLULU. Jan. IL (via San Francisco,
Jan. 12)-Along and important cabinet
meeting was held yesterday. The main sub
ject under discussion was pardons to be
granted on the 18th. 1t is understood that
the council of state will be asked to restore
civil rights to all who took part in the up
rising in 1895. The men found guilty of
participation in the rebellion have been at
large on parole. An effort will now be
made to make their pardon complete.
The difficulties between the master and
sailors Of the American ship w. r. Babcock
were settled today by United States Consul
General Haywood. After an investigation
of the charges preferred by the men against
Captain Graham and his mate Mr. Haywood
decided that there was enough merit in the
complaints to warrant him in discharging
the men from the vessel, although not suf-
fcient evidence to cause the arrest of the
alleged offenders, Thirteen of the Babcock
sailors bore witness at the official inquiry
as to tho cruelty of the captain and mates.
Each OF them said he had been struck over
tho head with an iron Delaying pin weigh
ing nine pounds. The captain will ship a
new crew here.
