Apologizlng in Parliament yesterday
for the failure of the British army to
overcome the Beers, Lord Salisbury
referred to the American Civil war,
between which and the South African
campaign he said there was "a great
resemblance 1T was four years."
he continued, before the whole eff
forts of that very intelligent and most
efficient community, North America,
was able to bring the war of secession
to finnl and successful issue" And
1t Is told that many of the members
of the House of Lords applauded this
most absurd comparison, taking Its
conclusions for granted 1t may
be very well In Justification
of Great Brltain's weakness In
South Africa to compare the in
significant force of the Beers to the
prodiglous strength which tho South
ern Confederacy and the slave power
was able to put in the field, but the
forced comparison does not speak
very highly for Lord Salisbury
knowledge OF American history.

with them, But they didn't want
kind treatment and they had no ear for
reason Mt all They took the kind
treatment and favors extended them
as an indication that they could do
as they pleased. But they soon dis
covered the error of their ways.
The teacher after exhausting all her
gentle means, decided to use the rod
and she used it vigorously on the

given due notice of her Intentions to
resort to the rod should the boys con-

trust that our association as members
of this Board shall be with mutual
respect and cooperation. 1 congratu-
late you who have come into the Board
at this time. The utmost harmony pre-
walls. Confidence once shaken has
been restored.
1--WE should also congratulate our
selves that we have at the head of
our schools gentleman of great in
tegrity and industry, under whose
guidance our schools are progressing
harmoniously and efficiently.
again we have cause for congrstu-
lation in that the work of this Board
is free of political interference. We
hope it shall continue to be conducted
from a non-partisan standpoint.
1.-THE growth in the number of pu-
pills has almost exceeded our facilities,
and the greatest care must now be TAX
en- in expending money to obtain the
best results. Taxable property in this
city has valuation Of nearly $19,000,-
600, and whatever we do must be to
the best interests of taxpayers and chill
dren for whose education we are large
ly responsible. Including the kinder
garten departments we have in this
city 1900 pupils who attend the pub
lie schools, and we must not forget
our responsible duty toward them"
Although applause was slow and
weak when starting, it developed con
siderable enthusiasm when steam was
finally got up.
PRESENT RULES ADOPTED,
Upon motion of Mr. Otis, the present
set of rules governing the Board was
adopted.
Mr.. Harpham presented a motion,
which was carried, authorizing the sus-
pension of rules, so that standing com
mittees might be named. The com
'mittees We're appointed so promptly
from a typewriter sheet, that there
was just a tinge Of suspicion that Mr..
Slabaugh had expected to be elected
president, and had previously appoint,
ed his committees.
This ended, the first meeting of the
new board, and it adjourned to meet
Tuesday evening of next week.
NOTES.

ing another to carry off the honor In

they hads perfect right to do, if

therefor.
According to the letter written
to Prest. P arker by Chancellor
Herring notifying him of his re-

that letter he is charged with using
language before ladies unbecoming
a gentleman, but the letter goes on
to say that the case will be given
at borough investigation if Mr..
Parker so desires. Mr.. Parker, on
account, so he says, of the grave
ness of the charge, refused to re-
sign and demanded a thorough
and searching investigation. The

Last weeks GUARDIAN gave an
account of watermelon incident
that occurred in Thatcher in which
Harry Palmer. and Mr.. Nichols
were the principal performers.
The distinction of leading a shot
gun parade through the principal
streets with Mr.. Nichols immedia-
tely behind in possession of the
gun and directing his movements
appeared to hurt the delicate feel
ings of Palmer and the putting up
of SO by some one else for his re-
lease also seemed to hurt.
After Palmer got away he came
to Stafford and entered a complaint
against Mr.. Nichols, intending to
prosecute him for unlawful i'm
prisonment and compelling him to
forced march without orders.
The trial was set by Judge
Sparks for Wednesday last. The
