A SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS VIEWS.

crat of Richmond, Virginia. in a lengthy
letter on the political situation from a
southern point of view. among other
things says:
"As between the present administra-
ton and a possible bryan administers
ton, | car hardly see how a thoughtful
and responsible man can hesitate.
Those of us who still cherish old sec.
tional animosities have but oneold idea,
that of opposition to Rcpublicanism,
and they go for Bryan. ON the other
hand, men Of business and enterprise.

unanimous against him.

gogues assert, there would be no paral-
lei in the two cases. Our forefathers
were the highest development Of the
Caucasian race. intellectually, morally

any people on the face of the earth.
When they resisted oppression and de-
clared for independence they were in
every way fitted to assume the respon-
sibilities of self government. viii any

MliAT SHURL SAID THTN.

Carl Shurz, who is now supporting
Bryan, in n speech delivered in Chica-
go, on September 5, 1896, said:
And at what price will the ultimate
result be gained i'm ease of Mr.. Bryan's
election? At the price of the most vio-
lent and destructive crisis on record,
such a crisis as can only be brought on
by a sudden subversion of the standard
of values and the whole business credit.
At the price of indefinite business par
alysis and distress. At the price Of the
ruthless spoliation of the savings accu-
mulated by the toiling masses. At the
price of robbing our war veterans of
half the value of their pensions. At
the price of greatly increasing the num-
Der of unemployed by discouraging en-
terprise and of eurtailing the value of
wages of those remaining at work. At
the price of the respect of the world for
our intelligence and practical sense.
And worse, far worse, than all this, at
the price of something that has never
been forfeited since the republic was
born-at the price of the greatest good
a nation can possess and for the preser-
vation of which it should shed its last
drop of blood-at the price of our ma
national honor. For this nation, so
rich and powerful. would stand before
the world rs n wanton, reckless repudi-
ator, as nothing better than Il fraudu-
lent bankrupt. This will be the cost
Of the experiment. Are you willing To
pay the price?
Now, what is the matter with Mr..
Shurz; did he want a foreign mission
and fail in his ambition? Is there any
consistency in his course? The Democ.

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The county teachers institute held
last week, like all others under County
Superintendent PEBBLES direction, was
a marked success. The sessions were
well attended both by teachers and the
public and great interest was manifest
ed throughout. The entertainment
features were also up to the standard.
There is no question but great benefit
is derived by all teachers through an
interchange of views as tn methods of
instruction. BY explanation and prac-
teal demonstration the teacher Of linn
tied experience is enabled to secure
better results, thereby advancing the
interests of the school and his or her
standing as an instructor.
Institutes to be of any value must be
well attended, In this particular the
law making attendance compulsory is
very proper. To have prominent and
experienced educators present is alsc
very important and this latter factor
being a part of the duty of the county
superintendent. Miss PEBBLES is deserv
ing Of great credit for her untirinl
efforts in this direction. 1t should b,
said to the credit of state superintcnd
ent Carleton chat he makes an effort tc
attend the county ~institutesof the stat,
however remote they may be from
Helena. The teachers are also to b,
congratulated on the presence of Mis-
Kittlaus again.
In educational matters Fergus county
is making wonderful strides. The list
of new names and new faces each sue
ceeding year tells its own story, Tn,
day has gone by when the old timer
knew the teachers at n glance ant
could call them all by namc withou.

B. & A. LEASE.
After a Long and Lively S0s.
sion the Bay State Legislature
Passed Bill.

Boston, July 12.-The Massachusetts,
legislature last night. after one OF the
most remarkable sittings in its remarka-
BILE history, passed the bill to lease the
Boston and Albany Railroad TO the New
York Central, and with the referendum
stricken off.
The occasion was nbrked almost
throughout with disorder. and during
one of the most important roll calls II
became necessary for the speaker to
remind the members that the firing OF
paper across the assembly room was not
In accordance with the Importance Of
the business in hand ana the dignity or
the house.
insinuations OF bribery were made,
and though these were. so far as one
member was concerned, afterwards re-
tracted. there was enough effect left for
very bad taste in the mouth.
The house had previously voted to at
tach the referendum 10 the bill. 1t is
claimed that this was done through q
misunderstanding, but at all events the
house fopped again, as II had done on
the Westminster Chambers, the Tele-
phone and other bills, and reversed
summarily by heavy majority, its
previous hastily considered action.
Lobbyists filled the exit of the chamber
and made 90 much noise at times I'm the
mems gallery that only those close to
the speakers could follow the proceed
ings in detail.
After the vote affirming the lease
without the referendum had been
passed. these. lobbyists made "A deter
mined effort 20 have reconsideration
moved and defeated before the house
ADJOURNED.
Mr.. Bennett OF Saugus declared I'm
open debate that after the first vote
and when nearly all present supposed
adjournment would Immediately follow
lobbyists held the exits of the house
and turned retiring members back with
instructions TO have a reconsideration
vote. and TO defeat il at once, so as TO
clinch the lease measure.
But the opposition to this developed
great strength. and on a final vote a
motion carried TO postpone reconsidera-
ton until today.
Friends OF the lease measure claim
that inasmuch as the referendum was
not attached to the bill leasing the
Fitchburg road to the Boston and
Maine. IL would have been inconsistent
10 have referred this lease TO the people.
But the opposition claims that undue
influences were used TO bring about the
change OF front and the end is evidently
not yet. Lobbyists were busy with
doubtful members the instant the house
adjourned last night, after one OF It's
longest continuous sessions, and if
scandal does not develop before the
business is through IL will be almost a
surprise.
