become public 1t does neither side
any GOOD to the retiring teachers are
placed in an unenyiable light
II IS now charged by the salt Lake
paper which continually endeavors to
arouse antlpathy against everything
mormon" that the trouble with the
school for the deaf and dumb is, that
tried and accomplished teachers we're
TO be dropped because they are Cen
tiles. and incompetent teachers are TO
succeed them and for no reason except
that they are Mormons' Diligent IN
oulry develops the fact that the charge,
IKE others from the same source IL
utterly false Also that the disposition
to discriminate has been all along on
the part OF the retiring superintendent
continually exhibited IN the opposite de
rection. and has been one of the causes
Of difference between him and the trus-
tees. who were determined 20 carry out
the provision Of the law which says
oNo paulzan, political nor sectarlan
nv religions doctrine shall be taught IN
The school: and no political nor re-
llglons belief shall be required as a
qualification of any pupil instructor
officer or employee Of the school
one Of the assertions made by our
anti. Mormon contemporary in ms
CITY is that the selection Of teachers
under the law, belongs to the superln-
tendent" and that the board nave
usnrped this authority which the law
invests in the superintendent But
rererence to the law shows that this Is
incorrect IL says: Subject to me
anproyal Of the board the superinten-
dept NAV select and dismiss all instruc-
TORS or employees Of the school, the
law also provides that "The govern
nent and control Of the school and the
management OF its property and al
fairs shall be vested in a board OF hVe
trustees" It does not In any sense make
the superintendent independent OF that
board but he. as well as all the teaoh-
ers and employees IL under the control
and direction Of the board
we agree with the Ogden standard
that # is unfortunate for the schooi
that these squabbles have been thrust
upon the public. We should have made
no aluslon to them in these columns
had II not been for the attempt TO
arouse feeling Of dissatisfaction
among the people Of this state, In REFER
ence to the religious procliyities OF the
trustees and the teachers Of this lnsti-
tuition. We are informed that the ques-
,,on Of religion has not entered into the
matter OF selecting or retiring any
teacher in the school, so far as the
trustees are concerned. on the con-
trary, they have endeavored to obtain
the services Of thoroughly competent
persons without regard to religion OF
politics. That was the course OF the
former trustees and is so of the present
board.
We are opposed to this perpetual en-
deayor to array Mormon" and anti
Mormon" citizens against each other
and promote a spirit of strife, when the
desire Of all the best people Of the state
is TO work together In harmony for the
promotion Of the general welfare IL
ought to be stopped and everybody IN
terested in the educational and general
progress Of our community should eN-
press their dlsapprobatlon of it In an
unmistakable manner.

Much fun Is poked at Honore Palmer,
OF Chicago, for going into politics. but
when he says that reasons why men
OF wealth and established business and
social positions should take an active
personal part In practical politics, are
easier to find than excuses BY which
they may Justify failure to embrace
such responsibilities, he shows good
sense and an understanding of what
should be In politics One OF the rea-
sons, perhaps the chief one, why men
Of wealth and social position do not 60
into politics IL that they find It "too
much trouble" They much prefer to
criticlse the evils OF politics at their
ease, to trying to reform and better
them at their personal discomfort. May
young Palmer keep his standard high
and succeed.

The B. S. & N. o. May Run Around
 Martins Station.

Selma July 11-tSpecial.)-A number or citizens of West Dallas living on the line of the Birmingham, Shreveport and New Orleans railroad are considerably stirred up ove- the presence of corps of engi- neers in the field from Martins Station, running their lines westward. The pri' cfpal surveys are being made in the vi- cinity of Central Mills, where there is a heavy grade, and the fear is that the present location of the line will be moved about half-mile further to the north, gtv- ing Central Mills the goby by about a mile number of stores have been built along the present line and their owners are apprehensive lest they be left high and dry away from the railes and ties.
 The Louisville and Nashville owns the Birmingham, Shreveport and New Or- leans, and they desire only one per cent grades, and they find that the Central Mills and other grades are fully two per cent Therefore the engineers are running lines to ascertain whether it will be econ- omy ito make deeper cut or to go around the big hill.

kS LlGAT AS DAY.
Electric Lights Rival Old Sol at the
 Pan-American.


 The electrical display in the grounds of the Pan-American every evening after sunset is one of the most beautiful sights imaginable and the view from Statler' s Hotel which adjoins the exposition grounds is one which once seen will never be forgotten Speaking of Statler's Hotel. one of the editors of the St. Paul Dis patch says:
 "Statlers Hotel is one of the wonders of the exposition. Although but three stories high it is the largest hotel in the world. having 2100 rooms and it's arrange ments are such that persons of moderate means may visit the Pan-American with out mourning the usual prohfbittve ex- penses usual at such gatherings. You can get a neat clean room, good meals, promptly and nicely served and every needed accommodation for B and $2.5o per day, including breakfast and evening dinner The dining room will seat 12Oo and the morning we left 1000 people were taking breakfast all at one time. Excur- sion parties of 500 and over are accommo- dated and slowed away without even so much as a ripple of excfteme ent-so per- feet are all the details of management. This Is not intended to puff MT. Statler, for we paid for what we got, but simply to save the Minnesota people and others who go to Buffalo unnecessary expense and trouble"
 Intending visitors are cautioned against needing the stories circulated on the trains and elsewhere about the dif1crl- ties of getting accommodations, etc. Statler can and will take care of you. If a party of two or more who intend staying at the hotel for two or more days will take cab from any station In Buff falo and drive out to Statler's, MT. Stat Ter will refund the cab hire
 This offer Is only good to our readers up to August 1st and upon presentation of this article. Cut 1t out! and save it.

 The saber Is supposed to have been the property of a Revolutionary general, as some of the old citizens remember of having heard their forefathers tell of an American general in the Revolutionary war having been killed and his body in- tered near the spot where this find was made yesterday.
 The wood part of the saber handle is routed away and the blade. which Is about four and one-half feet long, is badly eat en with rust, but considering the long years which the weapon is supposed to have been buried. 1t is in remarkable state of preservation.
 The find was made near Capt. J. B. Stewards grocery store, just one block from the banks of the Tennessee river When the Revolutionary general was bur fed here, Decatur was only a small un- important trading fort surrounded by vast wilderness, inhabited only by savage redskins and bowling wolves
 The saber is now on exhibition in Mayor H. A. Skeggs' place of business. He will perhaps send 1t to the Smithsonian Insti- ute, where 1t will be displayed as Rev olutionary relic
