At n dinner given in this city last
winter. when the subject of a monument

voting his energies to the Seamen's In
stitute has now undertaken the task of

THE SCHOOL HOUSES IN THE NEW
WARDS.


Superintendent of Schools o. Nj. Lord
completed Thursday his inspection of the
school houses in the Deering district, He
found some OF them below the Portland
standard, the most Objectionable being
the Ocean street and Morrills Corner
schoolhouses. The Oakdale schoolhouse
is In the best condition, but even that Is
not satisfactory. EveIy one of them needs
attention.
Some of the school houses in the new
ward are overcrowded and 1t will be
necessary to provide additional accoiumo-
atoms at once.
In ward nine the schoolhouses at
Aliens corner and Riverside are in good
condition and the Others in this ward in
fair condition. The Lunt's corner school
house is much overcrowded.

THE REPLY.

In response TO the INDEPENDENTS
request for information, in regard to
the truth or fa,sity Of the Gazette's
charge that the decision OF the SUI
preme Court in the Governorship
contest was not published as origin
ally read and fled by Judge Bonni-
field, the Carson Appeal publishes
the following:
The Appeal did not think it neces-
sary to reply to the charge made in
the Gazette, for it supposed that any.
one seeing them would only have to
turn to the printed opinion published
In the Appeal at the time to find O
complete r%efutation Of them. The
full text OF the Kennedy and Para.
disc rulings appear in the printed de.
cision just as they we're originally
written by Judge Bonnifeld.
Tho iusinuation that the Appeal
did not print the decision in its en-.
tirety ia refuted by the following:
Arthur Morris, Deputy Secretary
OF State, in response to a query, said
yesterday: aAs Deputy Secretary oil
State l read the proof Of all Supreme
Court decisions before publication.
Il read the proof OF the decision il
the Mcmillan Sadler case and it was
printed word for word as it was filed
in the Office OF the Clerk OF the Su.
preme Court.
Il am positive that nothing was
omitted. 1t is also recorded in the
records Of the Court and anyone who
desires to compare the printed copy
with the record a do 60 at any time
during office hours.'

pal Start and his assistant, Miss
Adams. We found forty-tive Young
men and women hard at work over
their books. They were orderly aud
attentive and seemed to DO making
the most Of the splendid opportun-
titles furnished them by the people OF
Elko county. Principal Start has the
school under thorough control and
he and Miss Adams are certainly do
ing their part of the work well. So
far rs the reporter could see the
school Is i'll Il tlourishing condition
and will continue 80 il the people OF
the town will lay aside their preju-
dices aud give the teachers their I'M
divided support.
There are now forty-tive pupils eu
rolled i'll the high school, eleven OF
whom are FROM the country. The ut
tendance from The country is not
what it should be, but is gradually
increasing.
From the high school the reporter
strayed through the business College

s%isiant, Miss Lawson. This school
opened Wednesday with IN atteu-
dance Of thirty eight in the different

Eleven of the pupils are from the
high school. These pupils receive

NOTHING U BRAG.
Republicans EeJoicinE Over the Eff
fects of the Magic DinEIey Law.

The appearance OF the September
statement OF our foreign commerce
by the treasury department statistic.
ian is mnde the occasion for another
hurrah for the great advance agent
Of prosperity and the party which
furnishes forth the show.
According to the statement the ex-
cess Of exports over imports OF mer-
chandise during the nine months end
ing September Both was S3lT, 202, I02.
This is atout s76.600,QO0 less than the
excess OF merchandise exports during
the same time last year. But the adj
ministration economists hasten to as
sure us that this decrease i'll the fav-
orable balance is not due to any fall
ing of in merchandise exports, which,
in fact, have increased s33, 10000,
but to the increase in imports, which
amounts TO sll0,3G0.OO0.
And curiously these economists
profess to be delighted at this proof
that the Dingley law has not decreas-
ed our imports. Why they should be
delighted at this is a mystery, seeing
that the avowed purpose OF the Ding
ley law was TO exclude foreign goods.
When boasting OF the miraculous
efficacy OF the law why should they
also boast that it has failed IN he ac-
complishmcnt OF its chief purpose?
The truth obviously is that the
natural effect OF the law is to reduce
imports, and the fact that they have
increased only proves that the coun-
try in its rapid recovery from panic
depression takes more foreign goods
in spite OF duties intended to be pro-
hibitory.
The monthly hurrah over the CON.
merce reports reminds Ine Of the al
most equally absurd hurrah over the
debt statements when Grant WIS
President. These statements showed
a considerable reduction OF the debt
nearly every month, and he epublI-
can papers and orators all held them
aloft and shouted: See what our
President is doing! How u admin
~istration Is paying the debt! The
people who were earning the money
by hard days work were given no
credit; all the glory went to the ad.
minlstratiou.
So now Mckinley and his magic
tariff are given all the credit for
short crops IN Europe and Asia and
for the rain and sunshine and labor
which have enabled us to supply the
wants Of the rest Of the world at good
prices. Indeed, the men of today are
even more absurd i'll their worship OF
parties aud statutes than were the
men Of a quarter of Il century ago
