SPklNKLING SINGAPORE.
The Solemn Procession That Accom-

The Solemn Procession That Accom-
panies the Watering Cart.
Poultney Bigelow In his description
Of the marvellous progress made by the
city Of Singapore under English rule
gave quaint picture of the manner in
which the streets are watered:
The watering cart was drawn by lit
tie white bullocks and driven by Ma
lays with turbans. 1t seemed to take
FIVE Malays to do this driving. One
roasted aloft on top OF the barrel for
the purpose of controlling the outgo of
water He seemed very proud of his
appointment Another native in a big
turban roasted on the pole and con-
trolled the little cattle.
Then there was man in thin brown
legs and much turban who walked sol
EMMY behind enjoying a footbath. He
was obviously Il government function
airy, although his exact sphere of use
fulness | could not discover. He APP
peared to be something in the nature
of rear guard.
Then there was "foreloper," or ad-
vance guard, for the purpose Of clear
ing the way. There appeared to be an
idea that the little bullocks might sud
denly go mad and rush ahead. At any
rate, it gave congenial employment to
one more native, and that was some
thing.
There was yet another, who bent
down now and then to pick up a piece
of stone or brush away some irregular.

This outfit was a treat to me. 1t was
solemn: it was full of self conscious
ness; it was magniiiceItly oriental.

Senator McLaurin OF Mississippi
| tried to reply to Spooner, but his ef-
fort was turtle and absurd because
he assumed the old state right doe
trine that the resolutions of some To-
cality lad right to interfere with
the action of the national govern
ment. This Is the old session spirit
that has few advocates now, and will
have fewer still when the people of
the South remember what dreadful
trials they have suffered when they
attempted to obstruct or interfere
with the action of the national gov
eminent. We are gratified that Sen
ator Spooner has spoken on this po'
litical problem, aud he has done it so
fairly and squarely that the position
of the government cannot be mlsun-
derstood,

South Dakota and Minnesota as far

of the mines been doubled during
the present winter, all OF the output

Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin ;
Senator Spoon"r made a speech in
the Senate ON Saturday on the Indi-
auola po-totllce complication, which
Will arrest the attention of the coun-
try, The Senator evidently spoke at
the instance OF the President, as he
had been furnished with all the nee
essary documents by the President
and the postmaster general TO prove
his side of the case. His arguments
were conclusive in the mind of every
national Republican. He pithily said
that Mrs. Cox had as legal and con
stitutioual right to the Indianola
postotlice as any senator had to his
seat In the senate. He was so en-
phatic in the point that he told the
Southern senators this great question
had been fought out and decided in
the civil war, ana that by force of
arms the ,~outhrons were compelled
to submit to the national authority
and he assured the senators that
President Roosevelt would not yield
one lot of the national authority, and
that he will carry out the will Of the
nation as expressed through its exc
cutive. without fear or favor.
We are gratified the President Sc
lected Senator Spooner TO speak the
sentiment VI the administration. II
was a soldier in the war for the pres
ervation of the Union, and he fully
realizes that what the North has won
with SO great cost of life and treas

The Trigonometry class is progress

only the theoretical side of Trigo-
nometry has been taken up, but as
soon as warm weather comes Prof.
Bergen intends to take his class into
the field, and with the aid of
surveyors Instruments, demonstrate
to them the practical side of the
study.
Large classes in Agriculture, and
Theory and Art have been organized
for the purpose OF preparing students
for the teachers eXamin ations this
spring. Both are valuable and
interesting studies, and it is hoped
that the desired benefit will be derived
from them.
A noticeable Improvement and a
growing interest have been shown in
the singing since the acquisition of

The vacant seats are gradually

was conversant with mining machine
