WHILE our Jealous State officials
have been looking around for a
way to raise more revenue to meet
the additional expense Of running
the State government for the next
two years, it is passing strange that
among other recommendations they
have made there is not one to tax
to little heavier extent the only
industry in the State that receives
any benefit from a protective tariff.
The price of wool and mutton is
up as high as it was in palmy days
and sheep owners are the only men
who have made any money in the
State for the past two years. Sheep
are now worth from $3.50 to $3.50
head in punches of l, 200 or more,
and they are assessed for 81 per
head throughout the State. Com
pare this with your taxes and see If
you call it an equal proposition.

the East has raised the price of
wages five or ten cents a day, and
the next news is that prices of tin
ware, stoves, crockery and other

creased from 10 to Is per cent. Fur
ther comes the news of strikes by

adjourned without electing Sena-
tor. This everlastingly defeats Mr..
Quay, whose case for embezzling IL
now before a jury with evidence
enough, it seems to us, to send him
to the penitentiary for length of
time that will cure him of that
longing for senatorial honOrs. The
failure to elect Senator in Penn

ate short two Republican votes and
gives the Silver men tie vote in
that body, if We are not mistaken.

SCHOOL REPORT.
Tree Planting, Ground Cleaning, and
a Large Honor Roll.

The March school report is late,
examinations coming about ten
days later than expected. We had
our Arbor Day work Friday, April
Ia, one week in advance of the reg
ular Arbor Day exercises. Our
citizens thought that it was time for
the trees to be planted. The schol-
ars deserve much credit for the in
terest they take in improving the
appearance and utility OF the
grounds. A few weeks ago some of
the boys suggested that the rocks be
cleared off the street and play
grounds near the school building.
They sought permission of the
Board and teachers, and, permission
being 6 lady granted, armed with
shovels, picks and crowbars, in less
than eight hours removed between
thirty-fve and forty tons of rocks
from the grounds and streets. Six
nice trees were transplanted. The
DOyS uIduo IlOltS L1dL WOulu HOlu
yard of soil and put the trees out
in good shape. Mr. Schooley's
kindness deserves particular and
grateful notice He furnished a
horse and dump cart to haul the
rocks and soil. Mr.. Schroeder also
is extended thanks for constructing
a ditch from bis place to furnish
water for the trees. We shall do
more work on the grounds AID take
out all of the rocks. There is need
of a substantial and neat fence
around the building, besides a new
flag for our school. Our Board, hav-
ing made so many repairs on the
building, has no money to do this
work, but where there is will there
is "a way, and we shall accomplish
this work if our patrons will furnish
proper encouragement.
Following are the honor rolls for
the two grades for the month of
March:

1t is true that an agreement was en-

three years my personal ownership
of Il Democratic newspaper in Lewis
