THE BIG SHOW.

The voice of the President has been
heard In the land. IT'S not as the
voice of one crying in the wilderness,
make ye my paths straight" but is
as the voice of one who cries, I have
made my paths straight, with heavy
accident on l and on straight. There
has not been more self assurance, more
self conceit rampant for many moons.
This is rough rider parade, kind
of Buffalo Bill show, given in the open
air with admission free, to teach the
natives of the down eastern provinces
what a mighty man our Chief Execu
tive is. Those who rush to hear him
speak, in the hope that they will hear
some choice oratory are sadly disap-
pointed. Those who go to see the
parade and catch glimpse of theclown
are delighted. Those who go expect
ing to be instruced and edited come
home as hungry for knowledge as
when they went away. In the begin
ming of the street parade from the top

When will the city act on the ques-
ten of bringing proper supply Of
water in, and do it by gravitation :?
This thing of being without drop of
water In the house for seven hours and
that during midnight, when fires usu.
ally break out, and when the firemen
and the whole town, save our three
vigilant policemen, are asleep-makes
q cold chill run up our backs, which is
anything but reassuring. We notice
that water taxes seem to be required
In advance, and then when paid the
value is not given according to con-
tract. When people pay the price We
do for watey they expect to have water
and especially do they expect to have
it at the most dangerous hour of the
night. We have known the water to
be cut off before persons had filled
vessels as prudence would suggest, and
in the night were absolutely helpless
in cases of sickness, and would have
been even worse off in case of fire.
Some time ago q vote to bond the city
for better water supply was taken
with favorable result, but man with
a microscope cannot find what has
been done.

Interesting to School Trustees, Teachers
and PUPILS.

Taken in connection with the ami
mated and practical remarks made by
School Trustee j. R. Hidy. of Craigs
vile. at the last meeting of the School
Board of Augusta county In the CITY,
the following information will be very
interesting. Mr.. Hidy claimed that
the small schools could be consolidated
and the children taken to and from
school by the county and the schools
made much more efficient at less ex-
pense than under the present system:
CONSOLIDATING RURAL SCHOOLS.
The distance to which children NAV
be advantageously conveyed varies
with the character of the roads, but the
average is about four miles, and the
longest route should hardly exceed six
miles. In an Iowa county six contracts
were made for 1901, each covering
one of six routes. when the roads
are muddy" says the Form, s.the driy
ers begin to collect children as early as
7:l5 to S:15 a. M, returning them to
their homes at 4:15 to 5:45 p. m. The
contractors are held to careful re stric
tions. They must furnish suitable
covered vehicles, safe and strong, with
comfortable seats; strong. safe and
quiet teams, with proper harnesses:
warm, comfortable blankets or robes
sufficient for the best protection and
comfort of each and all of the pupils to
and from the public school building
and their respective homes-all to be
subject to the inspection and approval
of the school board. They must ar
rive at the school-house not earlier
than $40 a. M, or later than 8:45. They
must personally drive and manage
their own teams; they may not drive
faster than trot, or race with others;
they must conduct themselves proper
~, refrain from improper language in
the presence of pupils, and from the
use OF liquor and tobacco; and they
must keep order and report improper
conduct on the part of scholars Each
contractor, except one who receives
$25. receives $50 per month, and half a
months pay is retained to insure the
fulflment of the details of the con-
tact" The cost of schooling per pupil
In 1900 was but 80. 81, against $500 un-
der the old system of scattered schools.
Attendance rose from 80 to 200, and
frst-class teaching was substituted for
the impoverished curriculum and poor
instruction of the older way.-Balti-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom our Regular Corresponds

tFrom our Regular Correspondent
Washington, Sept. 1.-The sublime
equanimity with which Mr.. Roosevelt
sees fit to ignore the appeals made to
him by the starving miners of the
anthracite regions is appalling. The
leaders OF his party are known to Op-
pose bis interference in the roll of an
arbitrator for they regard it as impos-
slble to take any steps Looking to an
ending of the strike without mourning
the displeasure of the operators and
the great capitalists whose pocket
books are involved. It is we'll recogniz-
ed that the position of the operators is
based on their determination to accom-
plesh the final defeat of all attempts at
organization on the part of their en-
plOyees. Under these circumstances
anything in the form of arbitration
would defeat their ends and leave them
in the same position they were in be-
fore the strike commenced. OF course,
the fact that hundreds of miners
families are suffering and that many
lives will be lost, counts as nothing by
comparison with the risk of fOrfeiting

ant significance in these days of bis own

Statesmen and politicians are watch

pertinent which has just been inau-
gurated by the Secretary of the Treas
ury, In inviting the banks, which in
the past have been in the habit of call
ing on the Treasury to help them out
of every difficulty, to help themselves.
The New York banks haye notified the
Secretary Of the Treasury that there
is growing tightness of the money
market as a result Of large shipments
of currency to the west to meet the
necessity of moving large crop. They
expected, Of course, that Mr.. Shaw, as
his predecessor would have done, would
Immediately deposit large sums of gov
eminent funds in their hands. On
the contrary, the Secretary has point
ed out to them their ability to meet
the deficiency in currency by issuing
their own. Under the law, national
banks can issue bills to the amount of
their capital stock and, as the aggre-
gate stock of the national banks
amounts to $500, 900, 900, bills to that
amount could be issued by them. As
a matter of fact, the outstanding bank
notes amount to but 1855, 200, 900 SO

to draw on. 1t is not known how the
bankers will relish this Invitation to
rely on their own resources and the
outcome is being awaited with inter-

The price of gas in this town has
been raised from rs cents to 81 by the
new gas company. The cause is said
to be the increased price of coal. The
1aise is Is per cent. We have not heard
whether coal has been raised 25 per
cent. or not, that is soft coal. We
suppose it has, or the company would
never have done such a thing. The
strike will likely make some people
better of.

The Philadelphia Post, a blatant
high tariff paper, says the Cubans
ought not to be permitted to raise their
tariff taxes 80 as to guarantee a loan,
because such policy will bear heavily
on the poor. This would seem Joke
under ordinary circumstances, but
this rule applies to Cuba only. This
could not be 80 in the United States,
The doctrine does not hold good here.
Tariff rates Can be raised here to any
limit. because in the United States the
foreigner pays the tax. Nothing bears
heavily in this county on the poor ex-
cspt the dread of free silver. Free
silver would affect him and him alone.
The tariff makes the laboring man

tries 1t has the opposite effect. That
ia why we all live in the United States.
