Smith were misled by p~artisanship,
The issue turns upon the construction
placed upon a half dozen words in the
statute. These words are admittedly
open to different construction and the
lawyers d~iffered-that is all. II as a
result of the action now under consid
GRAFTON by the district court the Repub-
licans are proven to be right, well and
good; if the opposite view be taken by
Judge Cheadle let the Republicans i'm
mediately accept it, place a full ticket
in nomination and do all they can to
accomplish its election.
The Democratic ticket is before the
voters of the city Of Lewistown: For
mayor, w. II. Culver; for magistrate, f.
+. MacGowan; for treasurer, j. NJ. Par
rent; for aldermen, Jos Jackson, A.
Hopkins, Walter Knight, Il. ii. Mackey,
John Laux and George Stoudt. The
Republicans will place their ticket in
the field tomorrow. II is probable that
all of the present officers will be renomi-
mated. Democrats admit that they are
good men. They admit the administra-
ton of the town has been well con-
Quoted. Do you wish to turn these men
down for the nominees named by the
Democrats? If you do it is but just
that you should have a reason, and a
good reason, for your action. lfyoudo
not it is your duty to come out election
day and help elect them.
We believe that everyone on the Re-
publican ticket will be worthy Of your
support and we earnestly bespeak for
those candidates the suirrageso Of a ma
iority of the voters of l.ewistown.

ANTNT SCHOOL AFFAIRS.

Since the ARGUS appeared last week.
several prominent people have called to
thank us for taking up the affairs of
school district No. ! and calling atten-
tion TO some few Of the wholly unjusti-
fed expenditures made by the trustees
and the general management of the
districts affairs. One caller directed
our attention to another feature which
we had quite overlooked. He inquired
what amounts had been collected for
tuition and what proportion of that
amount had been turned into the treas
ury for credit to the district. To the
first half of the inquiry it is impossible
to give an intelligent reply, nor do we
know that it would be possible to OBJ
tain a statement from any source of
what amounts had been collected, but
of the amounts turned in the records of
the county treasurer are complete
proof.
Beginning our research back rs far
rs April ~. 1897. we find that on that
date and subsequent dates of that
month and the May following n total
of Slj5.50 was reported rs having tecn
collected and turned into the treasury.
This was derived from tuition and
from an indefinite number Of children,
the contributors not being mentioned
in all eases.
August eth. lS9s. Clerk Worden is
reported to have paid in Sl29 collected
in tuitions and ON November 18th, ls99,
he paid in sl9O.G5 more, making a total
Of Sl,5.l5 from April 10th, ls97, todate,
for not since November 2gth. 1899, has
one cent of tuition money been paid in.
II the trustees have not collected any
buttons for seventeen months past, why
haven't they? Children from other dis
tricts are attending the school of Dis
trict No, l..
If they have. why has it not been
covered into the treasury? Is not the
withholding of these public funds en-
bczzelment? II not, what is it,.
AS shown by the records the revenue
from this source amounted TO from Sla9
to $50 during the previous school years.
This amount would be of considerable
assistance in paying Trustee Jackson or
Trustee Cort or Clerk Worden for their
services.
A second caller desired to learn what
had become of that suit which the trus-
tees said about a year or more ago that
they were going TO bring against the
bondsmen of Contractor Sheridan for
the balance due on account of the build.
ing.
The attorneys for the bondsmen main
tanned that on account of the loosely
drawn contract and the subsequent in,
reference of trustees and changes in
plans. the bond could not be collected
The trustees advisors. Cort & Worden
etc. responded that the bond was al

| right and the contract was all right and
that they were going to collect the mo-
ney right away. There was never any
question about the bond, several of the
best men of the community, amply able
to pay the amount, were on the bond,
but concerning the validity of the on
tract there was a great deal of doubt.
The amount which the trustees claimed
to be due was about So, 1000, we believe.
of the her outstanding claims two
have been collected through the courts,
and from the records it would seem
that Trustee ,Jackson's claim for sup
crintendent' has been paid out of the
funds on hand during the past year.
Why was this matter allowed to
drop?
II because the contract was no good
or the trustees SO managed affairs that
it was subsequently rendered useless, it
is the fault of those trustees and no one
else. And for that fault the taxpayers
have contributed from 81 1000 to 81, 800.
Ii the contract would stand the test
in court it is noless the fault of the trus-
tees that the claim has not been pushed.
Mismanagemcnt has characterized
the entire proceedings for years past,

dates of either party has no relation

very young city just laying the founda
ton for what we all hope is to SON,
day be a proud metropolis of a great
section Of the treasure state.
AS the ARGUS stated last week, W,
had hoped that no politics would be in
jected into the fight, but the Democrat,
have chosen otherwise; they have
thrown down the gage of battle: now
let the Republicans take it up and
bending every energy, carry the Repub
lican banner to a proud victory next
Monday. 1t can lie done, and easily
but not easily unless every Republican,
every man who approves of the present
city administration, does his duty.
Mayor Cook and his colleagues of the
council have done well; they have
wisely expended the moneys placed in
their hands; they have been careful and
conservative, No such unseemly wrang.
ling as characterized the first council
has occurred during the past year. II
has been a party of business men gath.
ering monthly to dispose of the town,
business matters as they would handle
their own affairs. Not one word OF
complaint has been heard.
The hollow mockcry about granting
of exclusive franchises" which appear
in the platform adopted by the Demo
Gratis Monday night, is pure buncombc
The man who drew that plank knew
and every member of that convention
knew-if he knew anything-that il
the first place the granting Of exclusiy,
franchises is prohibited by state law
and no council, Republican or Demo
. cratic, would or could grant such
franchise. And they further knew tina
the Republican council, when an clec
trio light franchise was laid before il
rejected it promptly and cmphatically
They did not do it roughly. but oirere,

and right to both the corporation an'
the town. This alternative was not nc
cepted and nothing mo-. has been hear
Of the matter.
But it seems that the Democrats hay,
nominated a mayor and two aldermen
from each ward. Recognizing that un
less all are to be elected they can hay
nothing in the way of ''spoils" to offe
their constituents, and therefore a igh
would be hopeless, they have gon
ahead and are trying to dictate to tn
Republicans and force the mayor an
hold-over aldermen out of office.
As the matter is now in the court W
deem it imprudent to comment exter
sively on the proposition, but a littl
concerning the authority and the prect
dents for the Republican position ma
be said without it seeming an attemI
to advise the court which now has tn
question under consideration.
The city attorney. and other lawyer
in town to whom the question was sui
mitted, extensively looked into Il
matter when the question was fir
raised, and they agreed that Mayo

secretary Long has issued the fol
loving general order: All persons In
the naval service are strictly enjoined
to refrain from any public statement
concerning the subject matter OF the
court of inquiry requested by Rear
Admiral W. :. Schloy.r
Capt. Schley. son Of the Rear-Ad-
miral, is commander mt TT. Douglas.
when the court OF inquiry
meets, said Capt Schley, II would
like TO ask Sampson just one question:
III the battle of Santiago had resulted
in defeat, TO whom would the blame
be attachedF This, ! think, tells the
situation in n nutshell If Schley had
lost the battle he would have been
blamed. He won it, and he should
have the credit"
Admiral Cervera, now in Vichy,
France, Is quoted as saying: "Schley
impressed me as a gallant officer and
Il hlgh-mindcd gentleman. / should
say that man of noble principles and
generous impulses cannot be a coward.
To such men / would look rather for
Castlian bravery. Physical
and moral courage are two different
qualities. There is no need of using n
microscope TO discover both in the ac-
tlon of Admiral Schley."
