THE QUESTION or INVITATIONS.

1t is stated by the Anaconda Standard
this morning that the Inter Mountain has
initiated sundry and diverse specimens of
it's alleged art. While we have too much
and fidelity of outline, to resort to a re-
production of the dazzling views which
are substituted for ideas in the columns
Of our morning contemporary, it does not
necessarily follow that the Standard Itself
is wholly free from the initiative i'm
pulse. For instance, it's central picture
published in it's Sundays edition, is a
reproduction, or imitation, of a picture
that appeared in Golfers Weekly, Oct.
2sth. With only a slight alteration of a few
details, to give it an original appearance.
Other illustrations might be given, were
they necessary to show we'll defined wrin-
kies in the originality of our Anaconda
contemporary.
1t might be interesting to note, in this
connection. that not long since the STAN
dard was so much impressed with the
superiority of the Inter Mountains syndi-
| cate service, Illustrations and all, that
it went to the unprofessional length of
Offering to pay double price for the ser
vice if the managers would only break
their contract with this paper. Under
date of June %, 1898, the syndicate wrote
the Inter Mountain as follows:

The foregoing refers to special illus.
trated matter. such as the morning pa.
pers use on Sunday and the Inter Noun.

The population of Belgium is be~ coming so numerous that the country is no longer able to support all it's people, who in consequence are leaving their native land in larger numbers every year and accepting situations abroad. Last year nearly 10.C10 work men took out passports for Bulgaria, Servia, Roumania, Russia, China and Siam. The cmigrants consisted chiefly of quarrymen, metal-WCrlcrs, glass blowers and brick makers. but they included also a large number of en- gineers, architects and managers of works who were leaving Belgium to take up good appointments.

Following are the instructions gwen by Judge R. J Lea in Pulaski eurcuit court. in the ease of State vs. R. C. Hall. charged with strapping pupil in Peabody school:
 The jury are instructed that, under the law, teacher or principal of school has right to inlljct corporal punishment upon pupil when the same is inflicted in proper spirit, with the honest purpose of aintaining nec- essary order and discipline in his school, proyided=the puui8hmentis is not imm9derate or excessive.
 The jury gre instructed that, under the law, it is to be presumed that the teacher punishes in the exercise of an honest judgment, and not malieiouslN and that the punishment is not excess sive. and that the defendant is entit- led 10 these presnmptions in his favor until they are rebutted by the evidence in the case.
 The court instructs you that the principal is responsible for the discip line of his school, and fer the prog ress, conduct and department of his pupils. it ts his imperative duty to maintain good order and dieipline. and to require of his pupils faithful per formance of their duties.
 You are instructed that if you find from the evidence that the strap used by the defendant in this case was the instrument prescribed by the school board for the purpose of in1icting cor poral punishment by the teachers, then the use of such strap is not III itself violation of the law.
 The following and chief instructions is from Dowen vs. State, If Tex, App. 61:
 Violence used to person is not unlaW full and does not amount to all assault and battery in the exercise of moderate restraint or correction given by law 10 the parent over the child, the guardian over the ward, the master over his ap- prentice, the teacher over his scholar. In all such cases the law presumes from the relation of the parties an en- tire absence of any criminal or nnlaW- fnl intent to injure, and in order to effect lawful purposes permits the parent, guardian, master or teacher to restrain and correct the child, ward |, apprentice or scholar When the teacher corrects his scholar the pre- sumption is that It is in the exercise and within fhe bounds of his lawful authority, and it does not devolve on hlm to show accident or his intention; E; neither is it any criterion of his act or intention that bodily pain, con- straint, a sense of shame or other dis. agreeable emotion of the mind is pro- duced.
